* ArgumentOfContradictions: Applejack and Rarity's argument at the beginning of the episode eventually degenerates into this:
-->'''Rarity:''' How does muddying my hooves serve any useful purpose?\\
'''Applejack:''' Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit ya!\\
'''Rarity:''' Haha, that doesn't even make any sense.\\
'''Applejack:''' Does so!\\
'''Rarity:''' Does not.\\

'''Applejack:''' Does so, infinity! Hah!\\
'''Rarity:''' Does not, infinity plus one! Hah!

--> '''Rarity:''' You did that on purpose.
--> '''Applejack:''' [[BluntYes Uhh...Yeah.]]

* SecurityCling: Rarity and Applejack find themselves in each others' arms -- er, forelegs -- twice, following lightning strikes. The second time, they realize what they're doing and withdraw in a manner reminiscent of InstantSeiza.

* ObsessivelyOrganized: Twilight is obsessed with conducting her slumber party by the book, to the point where she frantically searches to see where "giant tree branch in the bedroom" fits into the agenda, and is upset that she won't get to check off "Have Fun" on the list... because no-one is having any. (We later find out [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero it can be much worse]]).

* {{Adorkable}}: The already-awkward Twilight takes it UpToEleven.



* AwkwardFirstSleepover: Rarity and Applejack have to spend the night with Twilight Sparkle due to a big rainstorm. Twilight uses this as an opportunity to hold her very first sleepover, since she never had one, and therefor is literally by-the-book as she uses a guide on slumber parties to move the plot along. The slumber party gets gradually ruined as Applejack and Rarity had been in an argument and are still mad at each other during the sleepover.
