* 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)]]".

** Rarity's [[AmericanAccents Tidewater accent]] disappears momentarily during her feud with Applejack in the rainstorm.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Applejack was originally VitriolicBestBuds with Rarity, a role she would later share with Rainbow Dash starting with "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E13FallWeatherFriends Fall Weather Friends]]"

* [[FinalGirl Final Filly]]: Twilight's ghost story subverts this, as the {{Headless Horse|man}} gets the last pony at the end.

* DeathGlare: Rarity briefly gives Applejack a very mild one when the latter is about to buck the last remaining piece of wood out of the window frame, as if to say "Really? Must you be so barbaric?" This prompts AJ to gently toss the stump out with her teeth instead.

* PaperThinDisguise: Twilight's BedsheetGhost disguise only covers her face and upper torso but it still manages to fool Rarity and Applejack.

* WrittenInAbsence: Spike is PutOnABus to Canterlot for this episode, probably because the typical all-girl slumber party wouldn't have worked with him around.

* YouJustHadToSayIt

!!Tropes present in this episode (YMMV tropes can be found [[YMMV/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E8LookBeforeYouSleep here]]):

* AbsenteeActor: Notably, over half the mane cast is missing: Spike is [[WrittenInAbsence away in Canterlot on royal duty]], Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are presumably working on the rainstorm, and Pinkie Pie doesn't appear at all.
** This makes it the first episode where members of the main cast are completely absent.

* CucumberFacial: Subverted as a BrickJoke near the end.
* DescriptionPorn[=/=]FoodPorn: All 10 seconds of Rarity making s'mores may come off as this, with just a dash of sexy voice for good measure.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Rarity's [[AmericanAccents Tidewater accent]] disappears momentarily during her feud with Applejack in the rainstorm.

* 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]]).
* TemptingFate: After calling out Rarity and AJ for ruining her evening with their fighting.
-->'''Twilight:''' Is there there anything else that can possibly go wrong?\\

* NotNowKiddo: After chewing out Rarity for leaving a giant branch loose (now dangling over a house) Applejack attempts to pull it away, ignoring Rarity's warnings about doing so. Of course, when it smashes through Twilight's window, both Applejack and Rarity blame each other for this.

* NotNowKiddo: After chewing out Rarity for leaving a giant branch loose (now dangling over a house) Applejack attempts to pull it away, ignoring Rarity's warnings about doing so. Of course, when it smashes through Twilight's window, both Applejack and Rarity are deemed guilty of this.

'''Applejack:''' Well ya should've tried harder!

* DeathGlare: Rarity briefly gives Applejack one of these when the latter is about to buck the last remaining piece of wood out of the window frame, as if to say "Don't you dare!" This prompts AJ to gently toss the stump out with her teeth instead.

* 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.
