'''Rainbow:''' Oh, ''come on''! [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|We've seen you walk up to a horrible manticore like it was nothing!]]<br />

'''Fluttershy:''' Yes. Because he ''wasn't a dragon.''<br />

'''Fluttershy:''' Yes. Because he's not ''a huge, gigantic, terrifying, enormous, teeth-gnashing, sharp-scale-having, horn-wearing, smoke-snoring, could-eat-a-pony-in-one-bite, totally-all-grown-up'' dragon. }}

 

 

A sleeping dragon's smoke is disrupting the skies of Equestria and Twilight Sparkle is tasked with getting it to leave. Most of her friends are eager to help, save for [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]], who keeps trying to tell Twilight she's too scared to face a dragon (to be honest, she's scared of a lot of things - heights, her own shadow...). Twilight ignores Fluttershy's reluctance, insisting the Pegasus has to come due to her unique way with animals.

* [[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.

* [[Hint Dropping]]:

'''Fluttershy:''' [[Failed a Spot Check|Is it because of that giant cloud of scary black smoke?!]]<br />

''Angel throws a carrot at the back of Fluttershy's head, and glares at her''<br />

** What about the [[The Hobbit|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.

'''Rarity''' ...Oh, yeah, sure. }}

* [[Staggered Zoom]]: As Fluttershy explains her fear of adult dragons, the camera pulls back from the cave in steps, eventually showing the whole mountain, each step punctuating her list of objections.
