--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' Any questions?\\
'''Applejack:''' ''(aside)'' I got one: Does she understand what a pet ''really'' needs?\\
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Yeah, like care and attention, love and affection!\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' And that's why ''you'' would never qualify to be [[{{UsefulNotes/BDSM}} my pet]].

* In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay Hearts and Hooves Day]]'', Twist gives her holiday card to a gray colt, and they hug. This visibly disappoints another filly ([[FanNickname Tootsie Flute]]), who had been looking in their direction. Was that filly hoping to give her card to the colt, or to Twist? Meanwhile, another filly ([[FanNickname Alula]]) gives ''her'' holiday card to ''Diamond Tiara'', who seems surprised by this attention.

** Rainbow Dash tries to force Pinkie Pie to move by ''shoving her forehead in Pinkie Pie's butt''. Pinkie then sits on her and Rainbow Dash they'll have to do it "the hard way".

* The German [[ComicBookAdaptation magazine comic]] ''Der Stern der Winterträume'', [[{{Scanlation}} Scanlated]] as ''The Star of Winterdreams'', [[http://rike42.deviantart.com/art/OFFICIAL-MLP-comic-from-german-magazine-page-4-270320873 ends]] [[http://rike42.deviantart.com/art/OFFICIAL-MLP-comic-from-german-magazine-page-5-270320439 with]] the Mane Six sleeping together by the fireplace.

* ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000]]'' has Rainbow Dash pulling the blanket off Fluttershy as she lies in bed, making the latter blush and cover her chest (albeit rather pointlessly.) The ending also features two stallions standing close and drinking cider together, which wouldn't be very noteworthy if their cutie marks didn't appear to be a rainbow and a four leaf clover.

* ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E14TheLastRoundup The Last Roundup]]'' delighted many Dashie-AJ shippers with the scene where Rainbow Dash stops Applejack from running away ''again'' by delivering a flying tackle and [[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/116691 ending up on top]]. Quite a bit of fanart spawned from this one moment.

* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E11HearthsWarmingEve "Hearth's Warming Eve"]], Princess Platinum seems ''very'' close to her assistant (?) Clover the Clever. Just look at Clover's introduction:

* "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E5GriffonTheBrushOff Griffon the Brush-Off]]" plays exactly like Pinkie Pie trying to vie for Rainbow Dash's attention after what seems to be her old flame shows up. It even starts with something very closely resembling [[LooneyTunes Pepe le Pew]] chasing Penelope Pussycat, complete with Pinkie doing his little love hop. This is revisited in later episodes; it's almost a running gag that she's Rainbow Dash's StalkerWithACrush, with Pinkie affectionately calling her "Dashie" and following her damn near ''everywhere.''

* In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party of One]]" the pony sent to fetch Pinkie [[spoiler:for her surprise party]] is Rainbow Dash. There's a brief scene showing Rainbow Dash's face framed in the heart on Pinkie's door, in which is quite possibly the closest thing the show has ever done to a real ShipTease. Naturally, the fandom ran with it.

** In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E8TheMysteriousMareDoWell The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]'', [[spoiler: the Mare Do Well that Rainbow Dash manages to capture and pin down turns out to be Pinkie Pie, much to the delight of the [[PortmanteauCoupleName Rainbow Pie]] fans.]]
* Rainbow Dash and Applejack's VitriolicBestBuds routine shifts into SlapSlapKiss on occasions, best exemplified by "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E13FallWeatherFriends Fall Weather Friends]]".
** It gets taken further in ''[[{{Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E8TheMysteriousMareDoWell}} The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]'', when she "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?hd=1&feature=iv&src_vid=LyrQVpGYSrI&v=qEZqzlAwf4k&annotation_id=annotation_367886 immortalizes]]" Applejack as her best friend.
* The TomboyAndGirlyGirl dynamic between Applejack and Rarity sometimes borders on romantic tension, particularly in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E8LookBeforeYouSleep Look Before You Sleep]]". It doesn't help that the episode includes a scene [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed where they must share a bed]], or when they're frightened by the thunder - and later by Twilight's ghost story - the first thing they do is [[AccidentalHug grab each other]] [[SecurityCling in panic.]]
* Fluttershy and Rarity are shown to be rather close even among the Mane Six in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E20GreenIsntYourColor Green Isn't Your Color]]". LesYay can set in if one considers that Rarity seems more upset and jealous about Fluttershy's career forcing her to miss a, for lack of a better word, date with Rarity to do "the thing at the place" with Photo Finish (herself a source of some Fluttershy LesYay) than even her ambitions in the fashion world accidentally shifting Fluttershy into the spotlight instead of her.
* The ending of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 season two premiere two-parter]] is a shot-for-shot homage to the ending of the first StarWars movie. Complete with Applejack winking at Princess Celestia in imitation of Han winking at Leia.
* ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E7MayTheBestPetWin May the Best Pet Win]]'' has some amusing AccidentalInnuendo that can be read as a ShipTease, and spawned plenty of fanart of Twilight wanting to be Rainbow Dash's pet:

* [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E11HearthsWarmingEve Princess Platinum]] seems ''very'' close to her assistant (?) Clover the Clever. Just look at Clover's introduction:

*** After the leaders thaw out, the Pegasi and Earth ponies share hugs and high-fives. Platinum and Clover, however, ''nuzzle.''
