"Instead of stealing cutie marks, Starlight turned the residents of Our Town into creatures that don’t have cutie marks."

"What, so none of you want Celestia to make you ponies again?" Twilight Sparkle asked confused.

Night Glider, a griffin, said, "I know Starlight lied to us. Still being a unicorn when she disguised herself as a hippogriff. But well, we all met each other this way."

"Being turned into ponies now would be too weird," Double Diamond, a reindeer added.

"None of us really had a home before coming to Our Town. As long as I'm not forced to make awful tasting muffins, I'm fine being a dragoness. It's not like I'm about to go live in a cave and steal everything shiny," Sugar Belle said.

"And I'm not about to start mining looking for treasure," Party Favor said. "As long as I can make balloon figures again, I'm fine having paws."

"At least I FINALLY got to try being a griffin, ya know, AT LONG LAST," Rainbow Dash hissed.

Twilight ignored Rainbow. "At least Princess Celestia was able to restore -us- to normal..."

"At least I think I might ... okay, so I didn't really get over my fear of dragons... well... maybe I can be around teenage dragons now," Fluttershy said to Sugar Belle.

"I thought you looked nice in yellow scales."

"Uh, thank you."

"Not one word about me bein' turned into a zebra," Applejack said.

"Being a Yak wasn't so bad," Pinkie Pie said.

"If it ever leaks to the tabloids I was turned into a diamond dog, I hunting down the editor," Rarity swore.

"Being a Kirin was... shocking..." Twilight said simply.

"Maybe if Starlight had turned me into a draconequus," Fluttershy said, then saw the death glares her friends were giving her. "Never mind."

-A Year And a Half Later-

Starlight asked, "You want me to WHAT?"

"I want you to turn me into a griffin. Being a pony when I help retrieve Boras' idol might send the griffins the wrong message."

"BUT I THOUGHT YOU ALL HATED IT!"

"I hated you were trying to brainwash me into your cult!"

"It was not a --- ... Fine. And if the griffins think you're trying to say 'hey look at me, I'm a better griffin than you griffins?'"

"Gilda knows I'm not like that."

"Fine."

"And that's how I ended up turned into a Celestial Griffin," Rainbow Dash said, her feathers and wings looking like the northern lights.

"I'll start filling out the paper work to have you transferred to our pantheon," Celestia said simply.

"Thank goodness! Gilda can have this!"

"Dash you wouldn't dare!" The idea of having responsibility scared Gilda to the bone.

"Watch me!"

Starlight was just happy no one was looking her way.

-Many years later.-

"You want me to turn you into a pony for one night for the prom with Sandbar?"

"That what Yona said, why you repeat?"

"... This isn't what I meant when 'walk a mile in their horseshoes. It's funny, ponies said I was the ultimate embodiment of evil when I was doing this to HELP ponies... now creatures come to me to do it when I think it's a bad idea. I work out how that translates into a friendship report later. But be sure to write down what your cutie mark ends up being, Twilight will LOVE research data on that."

"Yona promise!"

"I'm going to the saltlick."

To be fair, you were going for "permanent" back then, and they only want "temporary". HUGE difference.
