!!Tropes in this fic include:
* CallBack: Trixie mentions she'd been planning to experiment with "Truth is a Scourge" before, but then there was that little incident with Twilight Sparkle...
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** Cheerilee takes Bon Bon's sarcastic comment about Trixie learning about sex at face value, and goes off to give her TheTalk. When she gets to Trixie's house, she thinks Raindrops was trying to ''take advantage'' of her.
** Rainbow Dash arranges for the massive storm to pass over Ponyville just to make thing easier for Fluttershy. Carrot Top calls her on this, but Rainbow thinks she's being complemented.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Trixie sees Raindrops smiling, singing and splashing around in the rain, and assumes she must be an imposter. She isn't. Raindrops just really loves the rain.
* {{Manchild}}: Lyra and Bon Bon. Lyra sees nothing wrong with sleeping in 'till two in the afternoon, thinks that a picnic should only be candy (especially if it means she doesn't have to leave the house), and goes along with Bon Bon's idea of dropping water on an already soaking wet Cheerilee. Bon Bon, meanwhile, insists on having brown eggs to make brownies, despite Lyra and the farmer she buys eggs from pointing out there's no difference, and comes up with dropping a bucket of water on a soaking wet Cheerilee.
* MythologyGag:
** In the show, Cheerilee helped coin the term "blank flank". Here, she has just enough awareness to realise that giving the kids something like that isn't a good idea.
** In "Ticket Masters", Celestia sent Twilight only one ticket and caused massive problems. Here, Luna gives the Bearers their gala tickets all at once.
* ShoutOut: When Carrot Top asks whether Rainbow Dash might get into trouble for allowing the massive storm to hit Ponyville, she thinks the most that will happen is she'll get chewed out, which she's not worried about. [[Film/IngloriousBasterds She's been chewed out before]].
* TheTalk: Cheerilee becomes convinced that Trixie is woefully inexperienced about sexual matters and decides to give her a talk about it to make sure that nobody takes advantage of her inexperience. The talk ends up being long and extremely detailed, starting with the basic biology and moving on to much more explicit matters before rambling into Cheerilee recounting her own past sexual escapades. Trixie spends most of it in a state of shock, before managing to explain that she knows perfectly what sex ''is'', she just finds it repulsive.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Trixie's spell requires mouth-to-mouth contact. When a confused and annoyed Raindrops asks what the hell's going on, Trixie exclaims she interrupted before they got to "the good part".
