It wasn’t as bad as Pinkie described it when she was a child. For the most part it seemed gloomy, but it did have its bright sunny days. Fluttershy enjoyed exploring the farm, and also met the rest of Pinkie’s sisters.
Needless to say, Fluttershy and Limestone weren’t immediately best friends, but the mare felt somewhat amused and affectionate for her considering she reminded her so much of her sister, Marble.
Limestone was also at the time being courted by Lady Gilda, the leader of Griffonstone, and wasn’t around much on the farm anymore.
Marble was obviously very shy around Fluttershy, and didn’t speak much for a little while, but after a week or so, she finally began opening up little by little.
The twin sister of Pinkie Pie was actually quite funny. She enjoyed a rock pun or two herself, and always said them under her breath at any given opportunity. Marble was a masseuse (specifically hot stone massage therapy) and a sculptor, and was one of the few ponies Fluttershy felt comfort a by talking to about her divorce with Discord.
Eventually, Fluttershy had to leave but kept in contact with Marble Pie. Marble was very talkative in her letters, almost taking up three scrolls for just one! Fluttershy felt so mollified whenever she finally received a letter. It was so nice to talk to someone new.
Marble and Fluttershy began visiting after a month or so of their correspondence, and their romance just grew from there. Fluttershy enjoyed Marble’s quiet temperament but always fell into the chuckles for Marble’s rock puns. Marble loves Fluttershy’s sweet voice and calm, motherly personality, and how she takes care of so many animals.
It was 9 months until the got married. Discord was a little miffed but not angry. He was happy Fluttershy could find sonepony else, especially someone meek and gentle. It also helped he was also seeing somepony too.
Two months after the wedding, and Marble began to notice a small swell in her tummy! The quiet couple are overjoyed.
