My name is Berry Punch, and I live in Ponyville. And yes, that ought to impress you. If it doesn’t, you clearly have not been keeping up with current events very well. When I first moved to Ponyville it was a quiet, unimportant, out of the way town that nopony really knew about. It had nothing special going for it except for being kind of close to Canterlot, and even then all that really did was sort of hide it in plain sight beneath the shadow of the capitol.

Things have changed for this town though, in a lot of ways. I’ve changed too, and like the town, I don’t think anypony saw it happening the way it did. I sure didn’t.
