Two days. Two days of Pinkie Pie being stuck as a filly. Twilight had changed an empty room in the castle to a small nursery, complete with a Apple Family Crib, a small playpen filled with toys, a pink highchair and the walls and floor were covered with a thick pink carpet.
The Mane 6 walked in to find their closest friend playing with her pet alligator. When they first brought him to her, the reaction had been surprising . . . .

Pinkie Pie! We have something for you!" Rainbow Dash called, holding out her hoof, which Gummy was sucking onto.
The next thing Rainbow knew, she was being slammed into the carpeted wall.
Shaking her head, Rainbow's eyes widened. Pinkie Pie was breathing furiously, and standing protectively in front of Gummy, who latched himself onto her cotton candy tail.

Later, Apple Jack explained something. "Unicorn foals magic may come in powerful spurts, and Pegasus foals are total nightmares when they learn how to fly, but it's Earth Ponies that you really have to look out for."
"Apple Jack, did Pinkie Pie knock you on the head or something?" Rainbow asked, confused.
Apple Jack bristled at this. "Nah, it's true" she retorted, tail swishing in annoyance.
"But how darling?" Rarity wondered.
Apple Jack sat back on her haunches. "Well, you know how every breed of pony has magic that it lets out in different ways?" The others nodded.
"Unicorn foals have random spurts of magic and Pegasus foals can sometimes fly at random moments. But Earth Ponies are different. Our abilities are like superpowers,kind" ignoring Rainbow Dash's disbelieving snort, Apple Jack pressed on. "Earth Ponies foals don't have control over their 'powers', which means that Pinkie Pie is extremely strong and agile. Plus theirs her own powers . . . ."
"What do you mean 'her own powers?'" Twilight interrupted,looking confused.
"All Earth Ponies are strong and agile, but on top of that, they also have their own ability. Mine is making apples and other fruits and vegetables grow at extraordinary rates, Maud Pie's would probably be strength. But Pinkie Pie,well, she is extremely fast, and the is able to do things no other pony can, not even Discord. So yeah, don't anger the pink menace."

"Hey Pinkie Pie!" Twilight said cheerfully as she entered with her friends.
"Hewo "The pink foal didn't look up from her alligator.
Rarity began to become aware of a horrible smell. Holding her muzzle, she turned to her friends "I think the little darling needs a bath" she recommended in a strangled voice.
"Okay Pinkie" Rainbow took a step forwards "bath time!"
Pinkie's light blue eyes widened, then she vanished without a single word. "Oh boy" Apple Jack said. The others nodded.
