Not saying Twilight or Moondancer are neccarily autistic, but I think my reading on socialization of autistic girls might explain what was going on here. It's known that autism, particularly on the high functioning end, is vastily undiagnosed in girls, but it's not known exactly how much. One of the reasons for this is that girls socialize differently than boys do, namely here it's common for for girls who are both socially adept AND kind to befriend girls who are socially inept, wheras boys are usually left to fend for themselves. With that in mind, it seems the trio weren't really close friends with Twilight or Moondancer, but invited them to hang out with them to be nice. Moondancer was socially concious enough to notice this, or percieved that those girls didn't see anything of special value in her, and the only girl she really related to was Twilight. She really through the party just so Twilight would attend. So that's why Twilight snubbing her meant so much to her, to her it's only her actions which truelly reflected something. When Twilight snubbed her, she felt that was worthless as friend, and that's why she gave up on friendship.
