Rainbow Dash is [[All Just a Dream|awoken]] by her friends' pets from [[Nightmare Dreams|a crazy dream]] where she's attacked by a creepy chimera-like monster made up of… [[Crashing Dreams|her friends' pets]]. The other ponies arrive soon afterward, and Applejack explains that they're at the park for their weekly [[
Before long, Dash is briefing her pet contenders on the upcoming challenge. When Fluttershy comes up and places a turtle<ref>Actually, it's a [[Insistent Terminology|tortoise]]</ref> in the lineup, Rainbow Dash complains, but Fluttershy browbeats her into giving him a chance, as he's been trying to find a home for the longest time. Dash puts the pets through a series of events to test their speed, agility, guts, style, [[Department of Redundancy Department|coolness, awesomeness, and radicalness]]. Despite finishing last every time, the tortoise [[Determinator|persists in competing]]. At the end, Rainbow Dash commends his effort, but she's narrowed her choices down to an owl, a falcon, an eagle and a bat.
Line 29 ⟶ 25:
----
=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[
** The 'appeal' part is averted though with -- [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|pause for dramatic effect ]]-- ''Ghastly Gorge!'' '''[[Overly Long Gag|Dun dun dunnnnnn]]!!'''
* [[Adorkable]]: Fluttershy when she hears Dash wants a pet.
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
'''Applejack:''' ''Exactly!'' }}
* [[Burning Rubber]]: Rainbow Dash does this at one point, leaving a trail of ''rainbow'' flames behind her.
* [[Call Back]]: "...[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** Also all the pony pets besides Opal and Angel, as we haven't seen them in a while.
** In the starting dream sequence, Rainbow Dash's first reaction to Owlowiscious's hoot is "[[Who's on First?|Who?]]"
Line 82 ⟶ 78:
* [[Cool Shades]]: Rainbow Dash adopts these during her "radical" pose.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the turtle <ref> ahem, ''[[Running Gag|tortoise]]''</ref>, donning a pair when Rainbow Dash talks about needing a "cool pet".
* [[Continuity Nod]] This is not the first time Fluttershy's noticed [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Cute Kitten]]: The "puddy tat" Fluttershy nominates as a potential pet is [[Tastes Like Diabetes|ridiculously doe-eyed and adorable]]. Rainbow Dash isn't swayed by the [[Cuteness Proximity]] one bit.
* [[Dandere]]: Fluttershy goes from hoping Dash won't be mad at them and pawing the ground nervously to positively [[Squee|Squeeing]] when Dash suggests she's interested in getting a pet.
Line 93 ⟶ 89:
** [[Catapult Nightmare]]: After dreaming of falling a great distance, Rainbow Dash bolts up out of her makeshift bed on a tree branch.
** [[Crashing Dreams]]: Her freaky dream turns out to be a result of the rest of the mane cast's pets being noisy around her tree. But one would wonder how Gummy and Angel even make noises that would get her to think of them subconsciously.
*** [[Fridge Logic|Maybe she subconsciously assumed all the pets were in one place?]] Dreams don't have to make sense after all.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Rainbow Dash shows elements of this when coaching to see who will be her new pet. It's mostly front-loaded, as she tries to let the animals down gently when giving criticism.
* [[Empathy Pet]]: Rainbow Dash and Tank share a key element: Loyalty.
Line 122 ⟶ 118:
** Oddly taken literally when Rainbow Dash asks this of the eagle after the [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]] bit, holding up a tissue.
* [[Graceful Loser]]: The falcon politely shakes {{spoiler|Tank's hand}} despite being obviously crushed by Rainbow Dash's [[Loophole Abuse]].
* [[Grade System Snark]]: Rainbow Dash tries to cheer up the tortoise by stating he gets "an A for effort" and that she would "give [him] a gold star" if she could find one.
* [[Hammerspace]]: Where Spike apparently keeps a quill and scroll handy.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Living with Twilight Sparkle has taught him]] that at any given moment Twilight can [[Super OCD|decide to prepare triple-redundant to-do lists]] or [[Once an Episode|dictate a letter to the Princess.]] [[Crazy Prepared|He's never been caught off-guard in this regard even once.]]
* [[The Hedge of Thorns]]: There is one in the Ghastly Gorge where the pets pass through.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: Rainbow Dash's bragging while flying backwards causes the avalanche that traps her. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[The Hypnotoad]]: The butterfly uses his wings to hypnotize Opalescence and easily snags away her toy while she's entranced.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:
Line 151 ⟶ 146:
* [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]]: The camera keeps focusing on the tortoise during the song [[Foreshadowing|for a reason]].
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: Rainbow Dash, several times, such as whistling along with [[Ride of the Valkyries|the background music]] as well as:
{{quote|'''Rainbow Dash:''' And so the final tie-breaking contest is going to be...''(to herself)'' [[Dramatic Pause|pause for dramatic effect]], ''([[beat]], then to everyone)'' a race against me! ''([[Jump Cut]])'' Through Ghastly Gorge! [[Sting (music)||Dun dun]] [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud|dunnnnnn]]!! ([[Stock Sound Effects|hawk screech]]<ref> which was made by [[Noisy Nature|an eagle]]</ref>)}}
* [[Let's Duet]]: Between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: {{spoiler|Rainbow Dash utilizes this to name the tortoise her pet, even though the falcon crossed the finish line first.}}
Line 184 ⟶ 179:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Watch as the bold and majestic eagle… knits Rainbow Dash a sweater?
* [[Removable Shell]]: During the "Find a Pet" musical number, the turtle<ref>[[Running Gag|Tortoise!]]</ref> pulls his head into his shell and pokes it back out through the tail end so he can look behind him.
* "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]": Plays [[Source Music|and is whistled by Rainbow Dash]] during the race through [[
** [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: No [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] here!
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Several of the pets offered by Fluttershy. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with the "puddy tat."
