* The Epilogue reveals that Twilight has spoken extensively with the Magician of Coal Crater, and was excited to learn that he is old enough to have personally met Starswirl the Bearded, one of her heroes. What the Magician has to ''say'' about Starswirl, however, is something of a disappointment for her…[[spoiler: Particularly the parts about him having an impenetrable lisp, and wearing his famous bells because he was paranoid about insects stealing his clothes.]]

--->'''Applejack:''' Mah ears ain't drunkerer than yer mouth.

-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Hey Spike, you made a totally awesome splash when you hit the water!...At least you kept your rump up!

-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Sorry... ([[Main/DudeNotFunny tries muffling her giggles with one hoof]])

-->'''Spike''': Glad... it's so... amusing...
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Sorry... [[Main/DudeNotFunny ahahahah! Aha... ahuh... hummhmm...]]
* In chapter 10, Spike finds out that Sapphire Shores wrote an overly sappy, sad song about him called “Full of Fire.” Spike’s initial reaction to this is, hiding himself under his wings forever to hide [[Main/TheWoobie himself from embarrassment]]. But what really makes this so funny is Twilight and the [[Main/KickTheDog others reaction]].

-->'''Scootaloo''': In case of emergency, don't – and I repeat don't – jump off Spike. We have a unicorn standing by if he hits a sudden downdraft or something...

-->'''Scootaloo''':... but she can't catch all of you and a dragon, so just stay put. Keep your seatbelt on at all times, and the pilot better not tell you to take it off, otherwise he's lookin' at a tail-kickin'."

** Don't forget the others reactions:

* Applejack and Rainbow get drunk at the Gala. Every part of their antics is hilarious, from Pinkie's announcement of their states...
