** In some occasions, instead of saying she's "just made it up", Shine explains that the phrases never made sense before.
** In "Welcome to Zahramay Falls", it's Shimmer who starts a phrase with "It's like I always say...". Shine never heard Shimmer say the rest of the phrase before but she agrees with Shimmer. Shimmer returns the favor in "Pet Games".
** In "Treehouse Retreat", Shimmer doesn't respond to Shine's comment, suggesting that this time it's really something she always says.
** In "Whatever Floats Your Boat", Shine's comment is something Shimmer acknowledges that she always says.
