* OhCrap: Blossomforth and Fluttershy's reaction to learning they accidentally entered the Best Fliers Competition

The story diverges some months before the events of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon Episode 1]] , the Elements of Harmony were discovered and moved to a museum by [[spoiler:Honey "Daring" Do]].

* BadassBookworm: In addition to Twilight Sparkle, there's also Professor Honey Do, [[spoiler:AKA Daring Do]].

* BerserkButton: A subtle one that results more in annoyance than anger, but Honey Do doesn't like it when [[spoiler: people compare her to her fictional counterpart]].

* [[spoiler:IAmNotSpock]]: Pretty much sums up [[spoiler:Daring]]'s attitude towards [[spoiler:her fictional self]].
** This is turning into a meta problem, as all but a couple of authors seem to be overlooking that [[spoiler: Daring]] is her nickname, and treat her real name as an alias.

* ShoutOut: During her first visit to the Equestrian Museum of Supernatural History, Twilight is startled by a giant Jormungandr skin. Honey Do sympathizes, saying that she "[[Film/IndianaJones really hates snakes.]]" [[spoiler:Also doubles as {{Foreshadowing}} since Daring Do is often presented as an Indy {{Expy}}.]]
