!!Tropes (YMMV items can be found [[YMMV/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E8LookBeforeYouSleep here]].)

* PillowFight: And then some. Unusually, it bears more resemblance to the Japanese ''makura-nage'' than the traditional Western depiction (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).

'''Twilight:''' (''tiny voice'') Sorry I asked.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Applejack and Rarity, who in this case are at each others throats due to their personality differences.

* 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.

** This makes this the first episode where a member of the main cast is completely absent.

* PillowFight: And then some. Unusually, it bears more resemblance to the Japanese ''makura-nage'' than the traditional Western depiction (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).

* 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.

'''Twilight:''' ''(tiny voice)'' Sorry I asked.

* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Friends?]]: After an entire evening of Applejack and Rarity constantly sniping at each other, Twilight finally calls them out for ruining the entire slumber party.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** While playing 20 questions, one of Applejack's questions is "A six-legged pony with a purple polka dotted mane and shooting stars coming out of his eyes?". Pronounced with her southern drawl, the last word may sound like a more likely place for something to be coming out of.

* BottleEpisode: This episode may have intended to conserve the budget, since it has only three speaking parts and is set mostly inside Twilight's treehouse.

--> '''Twilight''': [tiny voice] Sorry I asked.

* NotNowKiddo: After chewing out Rarity for leaving a giant branch loose (now dangling over a house) she attempts to pull it away, ignoring Rarity's warnings about doing so. Naturally the latter [[IWarnedYou has a field day]] when it smashes through Twilight's window.

-->'''Applejack:''' [[WhyDidntYouSaySo Well ya should've tried harder!]]

** "Can't hear ya! I'm asleep. *snort* SHOO! *snort* SHOO! *snort* SHOO!

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: The pillow fight.

Turns out there is, as lightning strikes the top of a nearby tree, threatening to bring it down on a neighboring house. Applejack is quick to try and pull it away, but her reckless roping brings it crashing through the window of Twilight's tree house instead! With the storm outside worsening and a neurotic Twilight freaking out over whether or not a tree coming through the window fits into the slumber party itinerary, Applejack and Rarity are forced to set aside their differences in order to shift the fallen tree. Once the crisis is averted, Twilight is pleased to see her friends getting along again, and the three get down to genuinely enjoying the night together.

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