"Green Isn't Your Color" is the twentieth episode of the first season. In this episode, the famous fashion photographer, Photo Finish, comes to Ponyville to take shots of dresses. Rarity uses Fluttershy to pose in the dresses, but Photo Finish becomes more interested in Fluttershy than Rarity's dresses.

However, Fluttershy hates being a model, but Rarity is under the impression that she loves being one. They tell their secrets to Twilight, who has a hard time keeping them.

The title comes from the fact that Rarity is envious of Fluttershy, and green is associated with envy.

8. Twilight persisted against all doubt in this episode, and trusted her instincts the whole time.

Answer: A Canterlot Wedding

"A Canterlot Wedding" is a two-part episode, which are the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth episodes of the second season, thus being the season finale.

However, a threat has been made against Canterlot, and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Princess Cadence, Twilight's old foal-sitter and Princess Celestia's niece.

However, she acts a lot differently now, being indifferent to Twilight and acting mean to all the ponies. Twilight Sparkle believes she is now a bad bride-to-be, but wonders if she is just being overly possessive of her brother. However, what she sees and experiences convinces her that she is evil now, even though nopony else believes her.

9. In this episode, Twilight says that since her own magic could not face up to the Alicorn Amulet, so she had to use the magic of friendship. This was not said intentionally as a lesson, but was the basic message of which episode? (Again, the answer may be a two-parter.)

Answer: Magic Duel

"Magic Duel" is the fifth episode of the third season. Trixie returns to Ponyville with the power of the Alicorn Amulet, which gives ultimate magic power to the user. Trixie casts spells to torture the other ponies until Twilight Sparkle agrees to duel with magic. However, Trixie wins and banishes Twilight into exile from Ponyville.

"Hearts and Hooves Day" is the seventeenth episode of the second season. In this episode, the Cutie Mark Crusaders make a giant Valentine for Cheerilee, but when they find out that a pony as amazing as her has no very special somepony, they decide to find one for her.

However, when they serve it to the two ponies, things do not go as well as expected. This episode was created for the Valentine's Day of 2012.
