{{quote|'''Twilight:''' But Fluttershy, you have a wonderful talent dealing with all kinds of animals.
'''Fluttershy:''' Yes. Because they're not dragons.
'''Rainbow:''' Oh, ''come on''! [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
'''Fluttershy:''' Yes. Because he ''wasn't a dragon.''<br />
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Spike is a dragon! You're not scared of him!<br />
Line 26 ⟶ 22:
----
* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: The dragon whimpers like a puppy after Fluttershy stands up to it. No wonder; it certainly seems like the natural reaction in the circumstances.
Line 38 ⟶ 34:
** Of course, then Fluttershy has her turn at Scolding A Dragon...and it ''works''.
*** Fluttershy even Defied the trope by pointing out that just because the dragon could kill the Mane Six doesn't give him the right to, and that he could have handled being kicked by Dash (which barely annoyed him) better.
* [[Compressed Vice]]: Fluttershy's fainting goat tic, especially when we've seen her take several scares [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Fluttershy's face-off with the Manticore in the second episode is mentioned. It's one of the only nods to the pilot episodes given, at least in Season 1.
* [[Don't Look Down]]: Spoken unwisely to Fluttershy as she's jumping over a chasm, although since she's not using her wings one would think she was surely going to fail the leap anyway if she did now. {{spoiler|Fortunately, the distance between the cliffs, which had hitherto never been shown both at the same time, is then revealed to be short enough that she just ends up balanced with back and front hooves on different sides.}}
Line 44 ⟶ 40:
* [[Face Palm|Facehoof]]: Rainbow Dash shows her impatience for Fluttershy's fussing by facehoofing three times, the first being a double facehoof.
** Angel does a facepaw when he just can't get through to Fluttershy.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: When Pinkie Pie is counting ponies to see how many balloons she'll need for her latest party, we see Lyra Heartstrings sitting with Shoeshine on a bench... except while Shoeshine is laid out across it, Lyra's slouched down sitting on it in a way that is decidedly un-pony-like. This one scene has launched the entire fandom's "Lyra desire to be human" attributes to the character.
* [[Hair-Trigger Avalanche]]: Accomplished with a rockslide instead of snow.
* [[Hammerspace]]: Pinkie's saddlebags; not only is she ready with an "invitation" for Fluttershy to climb the mountain, but she's managed to fit her entire ridiculous "package" disguise within it.
Line 66 ⟶ 62:
* [[Running Gag]]: Apparently, [[Pegasus|pegasi]] are part fainting goat.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Spike and Angel don't get along.]]
** What about the [[The Hobbit (novel)|red dragon laying on a hoard of treasure in a tall skinny mountain, snoring out a stream of smoke]]? Which is a bit creepy considering that Smaug eats SIX ponies.
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Rarity, upon realizing the fabulous trove of gems the dragon's sleeping on.
{{quote|'''Rarity''' I was this close to getting that diamond!
