'''Applejack:''' Oh yeah? Well, I'm the [[BuffySpeak get-alongingest]] pony you're ever gonna meet!\\
'''Rarity:''' [[LampshadeHanging That's not even a word.]]

* BuffySpeak: Applejack's "get-alongingest pony" bit.

Unfortunately, Applejack and Rarity are so tense they even have to fight over the bedclothes, and Twilight finally decides she's had enough, especially when the two argue over who's been trying harder to get along.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Twilight's slumber party guide: "[[{{Subject 101}} Slumber 101]]: [[TheJoyOfX All You've Ever Wanted to Know About Slumber Parties (But Were Afraid to Ask).]]"

As morning comes, Twilight prepares to report to Celestia that she's learned how two ponies who seem to have nothing in common can still be good friends...then tries to convince her friends to try another slumber party sometime.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Truth or dare produces the page picture: Applejack dares Rarity to go stand in the rain, [[RunningGag ruining her mane]] for a while. Rarity retaliates by...daring Applejack to put on the girliest frou-frou dress she can find.

* SuperOCD: 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]]).

->'''Rarity:''' You know; there's messy, and then there's just plain rude!\\
'''Applejack:''' You know; there's "fussy", and there's just plain "Gettin' on my nerves"!

* PillowFight: And then some. Unusually, it bears more resemblance to the Japanese ''makura-nage'' than the traditional Western depicition (the pillows are only thrown and are not used to beat each other with - though this could be due to the mane characters being ponies).

** [[FridgeBrilliance Maybe she's throwing a party of her own!]]

* ThePollyanna: Twilight tries so very hard to stay upbeat and cheerful about her first slumber party, despite the constant sniping between Applejack and Rarity.

* CucumberFacial

* SuperOCD: Twilight is obsessed to follow the slumber party by the book, to the point of missing the fact that a tree branch has crashed through her window and making a mess of her bedroom. (We later find out [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero it gets worse]]).

* DescriptionPorn[=/=]FoodPorn: All 10 seconds of Rarity making s'mores may come off as this, with justa dash of sexy voice for good measure.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Applejack and Rarity call attention to the fact that taking shelter from a thunderstorm in a giant tree is not the best idea. Twilight, however, has a magical lightning rod to deal with the problem.

* PillowFight: And then some.

* IdiotBall: Twilight. Justified due to massive head trauma as she turns to her book to try to figure out if having giant tree branches in the bedroom is a standard slumber party activity. Still, come on, Twilight.

There's a big thunderstorm coming, but Applejack and Rarity end up arguing over whether to secure the loose branches to the trees or just pull them down. They try to head home and cool their heels after the argument escalates, but the storm hits suddenly, forcing them to take shelter with Twilight Sparkle in Ponyville's library. Since Spike is out of town on "official business", Twilight decides to turn the event into a slumber party, despite Applejack and Rarity's reluctance to spend any more time with each other.

->'''Twilight:''' I hope you're happy, both of you! You've ruined my very first slumber party! The makeover, the s'mores, truth or dare, the pillow fight... I mean, [[TemptingFate is there anything else that could possibly go wrong?!]]

* AbsenteeActor: Notably, over half the mane cast is missing: Spike is [[WrittenInAbsence away in Canterlot on royal duty]], Fluttershy and Rainbow are presumably working on the rainstorm, and Pinkie Pie doesn't appear at all.
