40	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Pinkie Pie and Trixie met once when they were fillies; Pinkie was helping Granny Pie cater a party, and Trixie was the daughter of a guest at that same party. Trixie wouldn't let Pinkie join the party because she wasn't a guest.
41	* KidsAreCruel: Trixie was mean even as a filly. She came to a party that was being catered by Pinkie Pie, and when she saw Pinkie Pie wanting to join the party, she rudely ordered her to get back in the kitchen, because she was staff, not a guest. Then, just to be even meaner, she pretended to apologize and asked Pinkie if she wanted to join the party, only to say, "Well, you can't! You're staff!" and blow a raspberry at her.
42	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: [[spoiler:After Granny Pie's death, Pinkie Pie moved in with the Cakes and became their assistant. When she was feeling sad and doubtful, Granny Pie appeared to her as a ghost, telling her to be brave and smile. Pinkie was able to cheer up, and has been happy and bouncy ever since. Applejack doesn't know if it really happened or it was in Pinkie's imagination.]]
43	* MoodWhiplash: Page 13 shows how the Pies would always have a big party for Granny Pie on her birthday, where Pinkie would serve her the biggest slice of cake with a cherry on top. Then, immediately after it is Page 14, [[spoiler:which has Granny Pie dying of pneumonia]].

48	-->'''Sue''': Just because your special talent is partying...is no excuse for you to go around looking like a common Manehattan ''floozy!''\
49	''(Pinkie's mane and tail turn curly again with a "floof!" sound effect)''\
