Line 2:
It started so ''simply'', on what should have been a wonderful Plowpony's Day... Twilight Sparkle was just trying to help her friend Rarity learn how to teleport. But when an attempt to demonstrate goes horribly wrong, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity set out to find a way to fix her damaged horn before she runs out of time. But their quest will take them out of Equestria, forcing them to face the elements, the unknown, and their own demons and self-doubt along the way.
A ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' [[Fanfic]] by Jetfire, ''[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/its-dangerous-business-going-out-your.html It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door]'' fleshes out the lands beyond Ponyville with a grand tale of adventure, rife with [[Character Development]], particularly for its three heroines. A short fluffy informal sequel by the same author can be read [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/story-day-for-spike-and-twilight.html here.]

Line 61:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Performed by {{spoiler|Rainbow Dash's mentor Firefly, who sacrificed herself to stop a storm}}.
** Falalauria's lie seems to foreshadow that {{spoiler|Rarity will attempt a Heroic Sacrifice before the journey is through.}} {{spoiler|Possibly [[Subverted]] as of Chapter 16, given that the journey occurs before the Gala.}}
* [[High Concept]]: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic meets [[The Lord of the Rings]].
* [[Irony]]: Early on, [[The Resenter|Rainbow Dash]] vows that if they haven't found the Beneviolet after ten days traveling together, she'll ditch Applejack and Rarity and go on alone. When the tenth day comes, {{spoiler|Applejack is openly ''encouraging'' her to go for it, but she hesitates, not wanting to leave them alone}}.
** And shortly after the above, they learn {{spoiler|had Dash gone on alone at that moment, they would have failed their mission because she wouldn't have learned the ''true'' way to save Twilight in time, namely, sending back a young and potent Beneviolet. And even then, there was still the World Snake guarding it}}.
Line 109:
** Plus, {{spoiler|we get very little closure on Applejack's burgeoning romance with Ashtail, and how it can continue once she's back in Equestria.}}
** The short sequel 'A Day for Spike And Twilight' also adds to the number of hooks with {{spoiler|its reveals about Spike and dragons in general.}}
* [[Shared Universe]]: An author named Solaris90 is using this work as part of the back story for his [[Knights of Equestria|"Knights of Equestria"]] series.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The title is one (of ''many'') to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
** When Rainbow Dash {{spoiler|first uses the lightning powers she learns from the pronghorns}}, she says [[Serenity|"I am a leaf on the wind."]]
Line 126:
{{quote|'''Rarity:''' '''I! Am! A! Fashion! Designer!'''}}
** She has another epic one at the beginning of chapter 18.
* [[Took a Level
** Rainbow Dash, upon discovering {{spoiler|how to harness and ride the lightning like the pronghorns}}.
** Rarity, who {{spoiler|learns how to teleport like the Deerfolk}}. {{spoiler|Oh, and that she has the gift of Farsight.}}
