Also, these humans are usually either bronies or '''[[{{Fanfic/TheNon-Bronyverse}} anti-bronies]]'''. In this story, Mary turns into a pony but stays on Earth, and is a non-brony. In fact, her family hasn't even heard of the show until sometime after her transformation.

** In Chapter 26, two chapters after this story 'crosses over' with [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/84406/a-twilight-landing A Twilight Landing]], Herbert sees [[BackToTheFuture a DeLorean]] and immediately assumed Twilight and her companion came via TimeTravel.

** [[spoiler: WordOfGod says that the Animal Control guys are BillAndTed.]]

* GreenThumb: Or should that be "Green Hoof"? Mary, as a pony, slowly discovers that she can influence plants more or less unconsciously. She's initially very reluctant to use these powers, as they're just another layer of bizarre on top of what already happened.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Averted--Mary's in-laws are extremely supportive of her.
* PinocchioSyndrome: Mary really wants to be turned back. She's also [[IJustWantToBeNormal not really comfortable with all these weird powers.]]

* InstantExpert: A mild case, but over the course of the story, Bobby is envied by his friends when he suddenly becomes very good at music, Anna has become very proficient in ballet (her first rehearsal made it on YouTube), and Stan's physcial fitness has improved significantly (''200'' push-ups straight). [[spoiler:At chapter 14, Mary later sees what we identify as a ''cutie mark'' on her husband's bottom.]]

* Foreshadowing: Aside from the hair color change, there have been a couple other foreshadows, like [[spoiler:her fainting, her body being indecisive about her body temperature, or the inability to enjoy meat.]]

Now the unexpectedly transformed woman must somehow cope with her predicament, and maybe find a way to go back to her old self... the mysterious, blue horse princess visiting her in her dreams may be a help in that. In the meanwhile, bizarre occurrences just keep piling up, affecting both Mary and her family.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Mary, for obvious reasons.

* NextSundayAD: The story takes place in 2023, though there's rather little futuristic technology, apart from mentions of "Playstation Six" and Microsoft buying Apple.
