A Daring Entrance

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Today was another fine day in Equestria, both the Crystal Empire and the all of Equestria had been informed of the new Princess's birth, Princess Twilight nearly a week ago. All her siblings had been excited as well as her aunts, mother's, and grandparents. The friends of her family were just as excited to hear about her birth. Seeing as the Cakes next little one was due soon, their relatives, the Pies made their way to Ponyville to be able to see the birth of their littlest niece or nephew. The Apples, being related to the cakes and Pies, were also eager to see the little one, but Cup Cake didn't show any signs she was there yet.

While that was all going on, Luna was getting her little ones ready for a day in Canterlot. But Night Mist and Peanut Butter were getting a bit fussy. They weren't fond of wearing their little regalia. The other foals didn't mind so much, knowing this was required when in public appearance. "Now come on you two, we're going out into the city today and everypony will want to see you in your cute royal attire," Luna stated.

Night Mist and Peanut wouldn't budge. Luna had tried nearly everything in order to get them to cooperate, but she guessed they got their stubbornness from their mother. But she had one last trick at her disposal, and it was a last resort that was guaranteed to work. "Alright, I guess I'll have to leave you two here with Misty and when I get back with the rest, there will be no peanut butter cookie or Nightmare Surprise cake for you two when Mama gets back," She fibbed.

The other foals giggled and this was enough to get Night Mist and Peanut Butter to reconsider and agree to go out in their regalia. Luna soon had them all in the stroller that was like a little train, each attachment able to hold two at a time. One of the female guards, Star Dancer, a unicorn, and a descendant of Starswirl the Bearded himself, had agreed to pull their stroller like a line of carriages, for she had grown fond of the little foals of the night and Celestia's daughter of the morning. They were soon trotting out the castle gate, and Star Dancer decided serpentine to let the foals have a fun ride. Some of the other guards envied her getting to have all the fun, but kept a straight face as much as they could, having a hard time doing so with the way the foals acted as they cheered Star Dancer on.

Luna couldn't help but giggle at how cute her foals looked when they had fun. Some of the Canterlot citizens dawed at the sight before them. Other's gave a humph, feeling it was inexcusable to let foals of the royal family act in such a manner. Peanut Butter and Night Mist weren't feeling cheerful as some nobles were eyeing them with an unpleasent look. Not too long ago, Night Mist discovered that his wings were bat wings, just like Peanut Butter's and His eyes were as similar. Apparently, somepony had cast a spell on them a while back and Discord found it amusing to reveal his true wings and eyes right as a large group of ponies were playing with all the foals. It had given the ponies a slight shock, but they thought he and his brothers and sisters were cute all the same and found it amazing two bat-winged Alicorns were born into the family. Luna had given Discord a good lecture soon after, and a nightmare or two to set him straight once more. Celestia's little spell she had cast after having foalified him already had worn off thanks to Discord.

Luna knew that Peanut Butter and Night Mist weren't fond of the Nobles' stares, but she also noticed they were covering their eyes as well. then she remembered. She had forgot to get them their sunglasses, and their aunt's sun was shining bright today. Luckily, it wasn't a hassle to teleport their needed protection. Luna soon had two foal-sized shades at the ready and gently placed one on each of her two of her little angels of the night. "There you go my little ones, all better," Luna said.

Peanut Butter and Night Mist babbled happily to their mom, and she knew they were saying thank you in their foal language. One problem was solved, but the other would have to wait til later in the night. They soon bumped into an unpleasant Noble, and a snobby cousin of theirs. "Aunt Luna, this is an outrage. How can you let your children act in such an uncivilized manner?" Prince Blueblood gestured.

'My foals aren't the ones being uncivilized right now, you braty nephew. Sunset is more well behaved then you,' Luna thought.

"They should all be taken back to the castle and locked in their rooms for such an uncouth display," Blueblood scoffed.

"Now that's not very nice, your highness," A voice said.

All the ponies looked around, and soon saw a a tan fur and a mane that went from black to dark Grey was seen. To many she was seen as A.K. Yearling, but to Luna and the foals, she was Daring Do. Luckily, her attire was not on her today to give away her identity, and it was enough to make everypony who didn't know, think she was just A.K. Yearling since all she carried was a saddle bag. "You mind your place mare," Blueblood commanded.

"I'm only stating that these fluffy little ones are only foals. Everypony's like that at their age your majesty," Daring Do stated.

Many in the crowd began mumbling, seeing that Daring Do had a point. "And besides, their just having a little adventure. They don't get to see what's outside the castle often, your highness," Daring Do said.

She wasn't fond of calling Blueblood your highness, and would have had her way with him if it had not been for his title, or the fact that little foals were in the area. "They don't need adventure, they need to be well behaved and practical," Blueblood said.

"And you're telling me that you were that way at that age your highness. I'd beg to differ," Daring Do said.

"Such insolence. Guards, arrest her!" Blueblood commanded his personal guards.

Some of them didn't want to, and looked at Luna, who gave them a wink, telling them that Daring Do could handle herself, plus she wanted to watch the fun, and the smiled and proceded, giving Daring Do a wink of their own out of Bluebloods line of site. Daring held back a smile and putting her stern face to "Now let's see. One two three four, five six seven eight nine, so there's ten of you and one of me. What's a poor mare to do?" Daring Do said, acting like she was crying, then slamming a dust bomb on the ground as she covered her mouth.

"*Cough* *cough* where is she?" Commander Bronze Hoof asked feeling a little dazed.

"Oh, boys, over here," Daring Do said showing she was sitting in a pile of stuffed animals equal to her size, as she blinked femininely.

"After her," Bronze Hoof commanded.

Some of the stallions slightly smiled as they chased after her, knowing this was just all in good fun. "Take you best shot," Daring Do taunted.

One of the unicorns shot a spell and purposely missed. A Pegasus tried his luck, but missed since she was more agile. Slamming into a banner before being launched like he was in a sling shot the other direction and yelling out of sheer fun "Aaaaah! Hoo Hoo!"

Star Dancer's cousin Silvermane, had taken the opportunity to stand beside her as he said before taking off again, "What a mare."

Soon Daring Do had worn the guards out, including Commander Bronze Hoof, and Blublood Snapped, "This is an outrage, how could you let a measly commoner like her better you?!"

"I may not be a of noble blood your highness, but I can tell you right now, I can better your guards any day. The life of a writer can be quite an adventurous one, if she sets her mind to it your majesty," Daring Do fired back at Blueblood.

"I demand you arrest her," Blueblood said to his guards.

"That wont be necessary gentlecolts. She's free to go," Luna said.

"What?! Aunt Luna, I must object to," he was cut off by Luna raising her hoof.

"Need I remind you last time you unleashed your personal guard on an innocent pony. And don't tell me this is any different. You merely took Anna's words way out of context, just like you did with the last pony. I'll let it go for now, but should you try anything else, I will be reporting this to my sister. Do I make myself clear?" Luna asked.

Blueblood was about to complain, but then saw Luna's serious face, and knew he's be in boiling water if he continued and studdered, "Ahem, y-yes, we are c-clear Aunt Luna."

Luna's little foals laughed at Blueblood getting his just comeuppance. He would have growled, but knew better and ordered his guards to head back with him to the castle. The crowd soon dispersed and Daring Do came over and said, "Wow, haven't had that much excitement since that one time in the water temple."

"Tell me about it. Before my little angels found their way back to me, life around here was quite dull after Tirek's defeat. Don't you think so Star Dancer," Luna said.

"Indeed your majesty. I haven't watched or had that much fun since that one night in Germareny," Star Dancer stated.

"Wait, you were there? Me too, they really know how to throw a party," Daring Do said.

"Getting back to the subject at hoof, what brings you to Canterlot miss... Yearling?" Luna asked, remembering not to reveal Daring Do's true identity.

"Well, I hate to admit it, but, I need the help of the princesses. But, let's talk about this someplace more... private. You never know what ears may be listening in," Daring Do said.

"I see your point," Luna said.

She soon lit her horn and the three grown ups and all the foals were transported to the Lunar chambers. "Wow, you've really foal proofed the place since my last visit your majesty," Daring Do stated.

"Well, one can never be to careful for their little bundles of love," Luna said as she cast a spell to soundproof and shielded the area from unwanted eyes and ears.

"I hear ya. Even my niece Rainbow Dash and her sisters like to get into trouble. Luckily my sister, Spitfire and my brother-in-law Soarin have the clouds on their side. but even then they like to foal proof everything in the house. I still feel that ain't enough to stop Rainbow though," Daring Do said.

'Wow, Discord made a lot of changes in that potion of his... wonder if the Pies might have had a hoof in this somehow?' Luna thought to herself.

Soon her attention was caught by her little ones wanting to get out of the stroller and play. Luna smiled and soon got them all out and took of all their regalia to make them feel more comfortable playing.

"Well what was it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Luna asked.

"Well, seeing as I only trust you two, Queen Lauren, and Princess Celestia, since you know every part of the castle, I need to entrust you with this. I do trust Princess Cadence, but I know she still has a few more places to learn about before she can be entrusted with this your highness," Daring Do said as she pulled out a horseshoe made of steel.

"What is it Daring Do?" Star Dancer asked.

"It's the Horseshoe of Invisibility," Daring Do said.

"I heard about this. My ancestor, Starswirl the Bearded had it hidden in a temple and made that temple very difficult to find. I'm guessing Ahuizotl was after it and found the temple," Star Dancer deduced.

"Indeed, and thankfully I was a few gallops ahead and intercepted it, which wasn't and easy feat. I then knew I had to bring it here, before Ahuizotl knew I beat him to it. I can only begin to imagine what he would do if he had found this, and I don't want to find out what other evil beings might do, should they get their hooves on it your majesty," Daring Do said.

"Well, I can assure you, it is safe here, and I will speak with my family about this, and we will make sure that no pony, or any other being for that matter can find it," Luna said.

"I knew I could count on you your highness," Daring Do said as she hoofed the horseshoe .

Soon Shadowmane came and hugged her leg, and she smiled, "Hey there little adventurer, looking for some treasure to find?"

Shadowmane babbled gibberish to her, and lightly bopped her nose with his tiny hoof. "Oh, right on the button," Daring Do said as she playfully fell onto her back.

Soon Autum, Fire, and Sky crawled over, and started crawling, on her belly. "Oh no, attacking foals... please, pick on someone your own size. Oh, bleh," Daring Do said as she acted dead.

Autum crawled closer as the rest of their siblings gathered around and Daring Do jumped and said "Boo."

This made all the foals scream and laugh in delight. "Well, I think that it's time to get these little ones some lunch. And speaking of which, Captain Star Dancer, would you be so kind as to escort Daring Do with me to the Dining Room, I'm sure there is much you and she would like to catch up on while Celestia and I feed ourselves and our little ones," Luna said.

"Not a problem at all your majesty," Star Dancer said.

They all made their way to the dining room, with the foals and horseshoe in tow.


Author's Note

End of chapter five, wow, sorry about the wait, but my mind has been hassled with other things. So in this chapter, I added some new OC's and also included Daring Do in there. Now before anyone goes asking, I did include a scene from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I thought it would be funny. Now, whether or not I decide to include this Horseshoe of Invisibility in my story remains to be seen. I also decided that the A in Daring Do's Pen Name, A.K. Yearling is Anna, since we never really got a hint of what the A and K stood for.

Also, yes, I revealed some more chaotic things Discord's potion did. I am also here to state that I am planning on making a new story, and I haven't decide if it will be a one shot chapter or something I will continue, but it is based of an idea I have that's been cooking up in my brain. Anyways I hope you can leave me a positive comment and constructive criticism for this chapter, and will *yawn* be sure to... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............

Luna: Oh dear, at it again with his early morning blogging and chapter making. I've gotta get him back to sleeping more at midnight, so he get's at least half a day to play with his siblings, this is not healthy for him. *Carries me to the crib and sets me next my siblings, but see's a few missing.* Looks like a few more want to press their luck. *Trots off to find my rebel siblings.*
