As the lights dimmed and the crowd went silent Marble was behind the curtain giving a self pep talk. This was the most important night of her life. Tomorrow she would be a new mare.

"Marble Meteor, your up"-Stage Pony.

That was her que, they struts on the stage with a gleam in her eye. Everything was going very well as she happily modeled like she never had before and once she made her rounds she eventually went back behind the curtain.

As they quickly changed into her other looks they knew that her parents would finally be happy. Unbeknownst to them as soon as they went back out there her modeling days were numbered because as she walked out a loose stage light fell down right behind her and lit the stage on fire.

The sparks of heated metal and the flames soon enveloped the whole stage. Marble's lower half was stuck underneath two pieces of burning stage wood after falling through the floor with the light and they passed out from fear and smoke emissions. Two stage ponys helped her out of the hole and after a month in the hospital she was let go.

Marble was soon hit with with depression when she realized that the giant burns scars would mean she was never getting a cutie mark indefinitely. She tried getting work as a model but no one would hire her affecting her self image. They decided to get a job at a supermarket to get some kind of a living and her fame and reputation has long been forgotten.
