History Fanfic / Magnetism

* HiddenDepths: Rainbow Dash knows a lot more about animals than anyone expected.

----

** It's even hinted that Rainbow and Sweetie Belle's burn toast turn into monsters.

-->Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy. You should take up some sports... and become a Wonderbolt.
-->Fluttershy: Why?
-->Rainbow Dash: Because. *Hugs Fluttershy* Then you'd be my three favourite things combined; an athlete, a Wonderbolt, and you.

** All subtelty is dropped and Pinkie Pie joins in on the fun in the not-so-final chapter, when she and Rarity [[spoiler:erect a giant banner with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's faces on it with a heart between them. Unfortunately, AJ talks them into taking it down]]. Even the author refers to them collectively as "the shippers" at this point.

----

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The first two chapter names.

* InnocentInnuendo: Constantly when other ponies are around. For example, when it's mentioned that the bracelets act like magnets in front of Rarity's house, Rainbow asks which one's the top and which one's the bottom, which, after a short awkward silence, Rarity lampshades this, followed by Rainbow Dash admitting that she doesn't know what an innuendo is.
-->'''Rainbow Dash''' (oblivious to the double meaning): Now we buck.
-->'''Fluttershy''' (much more sexually aware): The clouds!

* InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: Chapter eight has [[spoiler: Fluttershy just about to tell Rainbow that she loves her. The moment is ruined when Rainbow cuts her off, declaring that the bracelets had come off. Despite all of the shippers going "OH COME ON!" a la Sweetie Belle, WordOfGod states that it was for the best. This was due to the fact that Rainbow would have been confused and the bracelets would not have been removed.]]

* LethalChef: Rainbow Dash does the same thing Sweetie Belle did with toast, turning it into a burnt goop. Also appears in the backstory, where Rainbow Dash mentions that the one time she was put in charge of cooking, the staff at flight camp was out for weeks. See also: EpicFail.

* NoMoreForMe: Zigzaged. One of the ponies Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy pranked tried to give up the habit, but after seeing Fluttershy's snake and rat playing noughts and crosses together, he had a relapse.

* ObliviousToLove: Rainbow is oblivious to Fluttershy's feelings for her throughout, and apparently hadn't the slightest clue that [[spoiler:Gilda's grabbing her ass and such]] meant she was attracted to her.

* PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo: Happens with soup that has laxative in it, though only one of the consumers of said food had any idea something might be off.

** Rainbow Dash has one while at Fluttershy's house. [[spoiler:Her first attempt to pee drags Fluttershy halfway up the stairs, and reinforces Angel's belief that Rainbow Dash is trying to kill her, so Rainbow has to take Fluttershy with her into the bathroom]]. Fluttershy is only comforted by thinking nothing will be more awkward than that.
*** [[spoiler:At least till they're in bed together]].

** All subtelty is dropped and Pinkie Pie joins in on the fun in the not-so-final chapter, when she and Rarity [[spoiler:erect a giant banner with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's faces on it with a heart between them. Unfortunately, AJ talks them into taking it down]].

** Of "May the Best Pet Win." Rainbow Dash notes, with some trepidation that a turtle[[note]]tortoise[[/note]] has taken quite the interest in her.

** Chapter 6 foreshadows "Read It and Weep," with Rainbow saying “Seriously, I’ve about as much chance breaking my wing as I do enjoying a book, it just isn’t going to happen.”
** It also foreshadows "The Cutie Pox" when Rainbow Dash tells Scootaloo to try bowling.

** Of "May the Best Pet Win." Rainbow Dash notes, with some trepidition that a turtle[[note]]tortoise[[/note]] has taken quite the interest in her.

* LaxativePrank: Angel manages to pull one, much to Rainbow's discomfort
