That said, expressing a Cutie Mark does seem to generate a borderline-obsessive need in the pony to do the things that "it tells you to do", at least at first (you can see this still in all the Mane Six). It's possible that Twist is so focussed on her newly discovered True Talent that she simply has no time for her former friends.

It will be interesting to see if the CMCs remain close friends after they get their Cutie Marks, especially if their talents take them in different directions.
