A lot has happened to Zenawa SkunkPony in the past two years, and most of it isn't good.

His wife Zecora has passed away thanks to a sickness that runs in her family, and he has been more depressed than he ever has. If it weren't for Fluttershy, he possibly would've taken his own life.

Luckily, other than Fluttershy, several other ponies have been able to help him through his depression and let Zecora go. He has spent the past two years helping the farm in Sweet Apple Acres, working as a bus colt in Sugarcube Corner, and exercising, trying to keep himself positive.

But a stronger physique and more things to do haven't helped him fill the hole in his heart left behind by Zecora.

That is, until he meets Marble Pie, Pinkie's younger twin sister who happens to be visiting Sugarcube Corner. After a lot of persuasion from Pinkie, Marble decides to spend some time with him. She's also a soul with a hole in her heart after the debacle between her and Big Macintosh, and knowing that they're both hurt helps them see the true side of each other.

They've been together for a few weeks now, and it's clear that the gears of romance are slowly beginning to turn. :)
