** From what we see of her, Moon Dancer has had incredibly low self-esteem for most of her life. So Twilight missing her party hit her harder than it might for someone else. She'd take it very personally - as an indicator that Twilight doesn't want to be friends. And then she moves to a new town without saying goodbye. Moon Dancer sure could have contacted her afterwards but in the mindset she was in - feeling hurt and rejected - she'd cope by simply letting Twilight get on with this new life that was more important.
** Sometimes for those with anxiety or low self esteem, they won't actually ask people directly to come to a party because they don't want to be told no. It's easier to treat it as a casual thing like "yeah, come by if you want" because asking someone to do something with you personally can be terrifying - and the potential rejection can really hurt.

* Before uniting the townspeople of the dream to fight with them, Rainbow Dash mentions that the Mane 6 can't keep fighting the Tantabus directly because they are "too busy saving ponies." As cruel as it may sound to ask at first, why do they need to save the other ponies in the dream at great expense of their general vital objective in this situation? There's no hints at all of [[YourMindMakesItReal a pony dying in the dream resulting in them dying in real Equestria]] or anything like that. I have two theories, both of which, to work, you must assume the Mane 6 were somehow very aware of:
** A pony being killed in the dream somehow weakens the integrity of the entire shared dream, so too many casualties causes a collapse.
** Getting killed in the dream is frightening enough to [[ManaDrain heavily buff the entire Tantabus]] from just one pony's experience.

It's the equivalent of '''not''' sucking up to a person who has the Avengers on speed dial while having access to the White House.

** Because Twilight was so surprised she didn't have the time to recompose herself enough to cast one. Anything more than basic unicorn telekinesis, lasers, or shield take time and thought to cast, such the only time we've seen them used in battle was when Twilight had the time loop to plan it out. She's not a trained solider who'd have the mindset or inclination to immediately attack, and with [[MilitariesAreUseless their military as is]], I doubt such training exists in Equestria. Starlight's ability to do so is talent such they decided it was worth redeeming her.

** The symbols in a cutie mark can be both literal and symbolic. She likely has an apple in her cutie mark because being an Apple is an important part of her life and identity, even if farming them isn't her actual destiny. As for the heart that could easily mean something like passion or being a loving pony.
