"Oh, it was a while ago," said Twilight. "One of our townsponies vanished. We were really worried. But, she did come back, and it's definitely her. She remembered everything she should--except how to be a pony, like you guys."

Aww, it would be interesting to learn how they dealt with this situation, if it was already some time ago :)

[wandering_fox]

With many shenanigans, I would guess, seeing as how the townspony in question was Pinkie Pie.

[ellamaylowell]

Aww! Hopefully things ended up turning out well for her, sounds like the others had her back at least

[belovedstill]

Oooh, I'm so suspicious 👀 Is Twilight sure the pony is alright? She forgot how to be a pony... That sounds at least worrisome! What must have happened to her? (If it's still her and not an impostor.) Ahh such a short excerpt, so many questions!

(I have now read your reply to Nicky) PINKIE PIE! Then something definitely happened to her :'D

I really like the contrast of "everything she should" and "except how to be a pony." That really hit me hard.

the last line throw me in a twist! the narrator also sounds surprisingly chill with casually saying this information, it makes the contrast even stronger. it feels like something it's definitely up in the town.

That's intriguing! The townspony in question being Pinkie Pie really fits, and the contrast of her no longer knowing how to be a pony. I bet that was a time for the Mane Six. I wonder who the "you guys" Twilight is referring to are. Ponies from a different town?

P.S. MLP:FiM was my childhood. You made my day with this.
