Chapters "Come on Dash it'll be fun!" Said Daring Do as she put on her adventure hat.
"Nope! You can't make me go to one of Rarity's fashion shows" huffed Rainbow Dash as she flew to her top bunk of her and Daring's bunk bed. The two of them had been roomates after episode:Daring Don't. Rainbow Dash slept on the top bunk and her blanket had a picture of ligtning bolts and rainbows, had a poster of the Wonderbolts, A crate where her pet turtle slept and a Spitfire plush toy on her bed. Daring Do had the bottom bunk wich had Zebra and Leopard print blankets, a wrtiers desk, (For her Daring Do stories) a 'Exploring is Magic' poster that Twilight had given her and a small table where she put her hat and other stuff and a doggy bed where her pet dog slept. In the middle of the room was a shelf full of special edition hardcover 'Daring Do' books.
"What happened to Friendship is magic?" Asked Daring Do as she crossed her hoofs.
Rainbow Dash sighed. "Fine" she said as she quickly combed her mane.
"Thats the spirit!" Said Daring Do as she flew out the door clumsily. She still had that cast on her wing and couldn't fly very well.
Rainbow Dash zoomed after her.
When they got there they saw some fancy looking ponies who they recognized instantly.
"I wonder what type of fashion she has put on" said Photo Finish in her snappy voice.
"Probably something FABULOUS! ow! Said Saphire Shores who was sitting next to a stallion called Hoity Toity who brushed off some imaginary dust.
"Hi Rainbow Dash!" Said Scootaloo enthusiastically as she trotted up to the two mares.
"'Sup" asked Rainbow Dash trying to look cool.
"Hi Daring Do!!" Said Scootaloo even more enthusiastically. Lately, she had been fascinated by meeting her hero's hero besides the Wonderbolts.
"Hey you!" Said Daring Do a bit more friendly as she rubbed her hoof against Scootaloo's mane.
"Can Daring and you take me and the cutie mark crusaders exploring tomorrow morning? Babs Seed is coming over so we wanna make her enjoy her stay now that she's not a bully!" Finished Scootaloo as she quickly sat down next to Rainbow Dash.
"Sure, Squirt" said Rainbow Dash as Rarity came over to them.
"Darlings I'm so glad you could make it!" Said Rarity as she stood infront of the two mares and filly.
"Thanks Rarity!" Said Daring Do as she adjusted her hat.
"Not at all! Now I must go! The show must go on!" She chuckled as she delicately dissapeared behind the curtains.
"You like this dont you?" Mocked Rainbow Dash to Daring Do.
"Yeah! It's nice to be in fashion every once in a while" admitted Daring as she looked over at Dash.
"Bleah! I dont like fancy stuff" said Rainbow disgustedly.
"You yourself have a fancy side, Missy!" Said Daring as she looked at the stage.
"Huh?" Asked Rainbow confused.
"I read it in the gabby gums column!" Laughed Daring Do.
Dashy blushed. "Those were all lies" she said quickly.
"And I suppose it's a lie that you like Soarin even if he's already with Spitfire" Mocked Daring right back.
Dash blushed even harder "um..nah I'm too cool for love" lied Rainbow Dashnas she stared at the ground.
"Mares and stallions!" Spike's voice rang through the air. "Welcome to Rarity's annual fashion show!" He announced as a classical melody by Octavia played.
"I already hate it" whispered Rainbow Dash in Daring's ear.
Daring shot her an annoyed look and turned back to see Rarity gracefully trot on stage with an elegant diamond dress and tons of sparkling jewls.
"Oh yes! I like it!" Said Fancy Pants loud enough for Rainbow Dash to overhear.
Next came in Twilight with a beautiful purple and violet dress. It totally matched her crown and princessy appearance.

When the show was finally over Rainbow Dash was pretending to be asleep.
"Oh stop it!" Said Daring Do as she hit Rainbow Dash playfully.
"Did you girls enjoy my show?" Asked Rarity who still had on her fashion dress.
"Yeah! Loved the jungle dress though! Really crafty. How did you come up with that one?" Asked Daring Do.
"Well just thought of you, honstly..I was planning on giving it to you but I figured your not much into fashion" reasoned Rarity.
"Fashion is nice every once in a while" repeated Daring Do as she smiled.
"Oh great! Then you may have it!" Said Rarity happily.
"Yeah I'll take it" said Daring Do as Sapphire Shores approached them.
"That was FABULOUS!ow!" Said Sapphire Shores as she turned to Rarity blocking Daring's veiw to her. "Bye" mouthed Daring to Rarity.
"Bye" she mouthed back.
"I can't belive you actually WANT that jungle dress!" Said Rainbow Dash confused.
"Well why not?" Asked Daring Do as she rushed behind the curtains to go fetch her dress.
Backstage was a very tired Octavia.
"You okay Tavi?" Asked Daring as she got her dress.
"Lots of soft guitar playing tonight!" Said Octavia tierdly as she got up with her violin and left with Daring Do.
"So are you fancy?" Asked Octavia curiously expecting Daring's dress.
"Not really" said Daring Do as she tryed to fly off but her wing didn't alow her to.
"What happened to your wing there?" Asked Octavia.
"I was exploring and some of it got scratched off by thorns" she replied simply.
"Oh..I'm sorry" Octavia took a deep breath. "Very well then. Goodbye Daring Do. Nice talking to you" said Octavia as se trotted off into the distance.
Daring Do woke up the next morning only to hear Rainbow Dash snoring loudly. She groaned quietly and held her tiger stuffed animal closer to her as she pulled the bedsheets over her head.
Rainbow Dash yawned as she woke up and stretched her wings. "Morning!" She said happily as she flew down from her bed bunk.
"Good Morning Miss Snoreatron" said Daring Do as she carefully made her bed.
"Did I really snore?" Asked Rainbow Dash confused.
Daring Do sighed. "A lot" she replied as she put on her safari hat and shirt.
"Today we have to meet up with Babs and the cutie mark crusaders at the train station" said Rainbow Dash as she was about to zoom out the door.
"Your forgetting something" said Daring Do as she quickly took off her Safari hat and combed her mane.
"And whats that?" Asked Rainbow Dash smugly.
"To comb your mane you goof!" Said Daring as she tossed her the comb.
Rainbow Dash barley caught it "Did you just tell me to comb my mane?!" Asked Rainbow Dash in surprise.
"Duh" said Daring Do as she put her Safari hat back on.
"Well okay then" said Rainbow Dash as she combed her hair lazily.
"Lets go" said Daring Do as she headed out the door. A nice warm sun greeted them. Daring Do took a deep breath. "Nice day today eh?" She asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah yeah lets go now!" Said Rainbow Dash as she practicality begged on her knees.
"I'm gonna stop by Carousel Boutique" said Daring Do as she headed in the direction of Rarity's place.
"Really? Well okay then. Meet you in the Crusader's tree house!" Said Rainbow Dash as she zoomed off in the opposite direction.
Daring Do calmly knocked on the door.
"Welcome to Carousel- oh hello Daring Do!" Greeted Rarity from the tropical dresses section.
"Hey hey! Can you teach me on being fancy? It seems fun" said Daring Do as she looked over to the makeup section.
"Of course Darling!" Said Rarity as she dissapeared behind the fancy looking sweaters section. It was fall, but today was sunny and fresh.
Rarity came back with a tea set and a table. "I will show you how to drink tea properly!" She said as she set the tea on the table.
"Sure" shrugged Daring Do as she plopped down on the floor.
Rarity gasped.
"What?!" Asked Daring Do.
"A lady never simply plops down! Especially not on the ground!" Said Rarity as she levitated a pillow with her magic and put it down next to Daring Do.
"Um..do I sit on it?" Asked Daring Do confused.
"Darling, yes! And try not to plop down..sit down gracefully!" Said Rarity as she sipped some tea from her expensive china cup.

Five hours had passed.
"When is Daring Do coming?" Asked Scootaloo annoyed as she nudged Rainbow Dash who was asleep on a beanbag.
"Here she comes!" Squeaked Sweetie Bell as she peeked out the window.
Applebloom went over to the window to see for herself. Her mouth dropped. "That is not Daring Do!" She said as a mare who had a tan coat and a black and white mane with blue eyeshadow and a greenish sweater approached the tree house.
"Um..never met her before!" Said Babs as she too,looked out the Window.
The door creaked open. The mare trotted in gracefully as she got a pillow and nicely sat on it.
"Hey girls! Haven't seen you in a while!" Said the mare.
"Who are you?" Asked Scootaloo as she smacked Rainbow Dash awake.
"Why girls! I'm Daring Do" she said as she carefully removed a hanging thread from her fancy sweater.
"Oh! You went to Rarity's for a makeover?" Asked Sweetie Bell as she turned to Daring Do.
"Yes i did!" Said Daring Do as she adjusted her berea.
"I thought you were gonna go explorin' with us!" Whined Applebloom.
"I'm going to show you girls instead, the museum of art with Rarity!" Said Daring Do as she returned the pillow to its place.
"Uh..Daring is this some type of practical joke?" Asked Rainbow Dash as she jumped off the beanbag.
Daring gasped "of course not! This is who i am!!" Said Daring Do as she and the cutie mark crusaders along with Babs trotted outside.
"More like who your not" huffed Rainbow Dash as she flyed outside.
"Well I would like to go to the tropical museum" said Daring Do quietly as Rarity asked them wich museum they would like to go to.
"Let us go to the royalty museum!" Said Rarity as she eyed the crusaders and to two mares.
Rainbow Dash shrugged "Sure" she said as she flew torwards the museum.
Daring do was about to spread her wings when she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She turned around.
"A proper lady does not fly quickly! She delicately trots" said Rarity as she led the way.
When they finally got to the museum the four fillies galloped right to a painting of Princess Celestia and Luna getting defeated by Queen Ender Moon.
"Woah look at her black blade!" Said Babs as she stared in awe.
"Lets move on to the next painting!" Said Sweetie Bell as she moved on to a painting of Queen Ender Moon with her royal king cape, crown, and a baton. She was holding a golden cup with her magic and had a red blood stain around her lips
"You don't suppose that's blood do you?" Asked Scootaloo as she shivered.
"I think that is" said Applebloom as she rushed to the next painting.
"This one is a bit more nicer" said Babs as she examined the painting with Queen Ender Moon and her family.
"It's been a while since the princesses were killed" sighed Daring Do as she trotted up to the painting.
"Yeah" squeaked Sweetie Bell sadly.
"But Queen Ender Moon is a bit more successful in battles than the princesses!" Said scootaloo trying to cheer them up.
"Your right!" Said Applebloom as a smile crept across her face cheerfully.
"Lets go to Queen Chrysalis part of the museum!" Said Babs as she rushed over to a painting of Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra.
"This one gives me the creeps" said Applebloom as she rushed over to another painting.
"Why don't we go to the spa instead girls? It will be much more fun!" Said Daring Do as she lured the girls over to the exit.
"Come on Dash!" Said Daring Do to Rainbow Dash who was looking at a picture of Flash Sentry and Queen Ender Moon.
★★★★★
"Aahh this is much more relaxing!" Said Daring Do as she let Lotus Blossom put a spa treatment on her face as she was in the hot tub with the four fillies and two other mares.
"Bleah! I'd rather watch a romance movie than do this!" Said Rainbow Dash as she ate one of the cucumbers on her eyes.
"Rainbow!" Said Daring clearly insulted.
"Rainbow Dash behave yourself!" Said Rarity as she lifted one of her cucumbers on her eyes.
"Maybe we can get spa treatment cutie marks!" Said Sweetie Bell enthusiastically as she threw the cucumbers away from her eyes.
"Nah. I don't want one of those" said Scootaloo quickly.
"Daring, can you come with me to Photo Finish's fashion show tomorrow morning?" Asked Rarity.
"Sure dude!...sorry I mean of course darling!" Said Daring Do strictly correcting herself.
"Fantastic!" Said Rairty as she got out of the spa's hot tub and carefully remobed her spa treatment.
The rest of them did the same as they all climbed out.
When they were all out and dry of the spa they headed torwards Carousel Boutique to try on some outfits.
"I'm gonna try this one on!" Said Babs as she grabbed a small red satin one.
"I'm doing this one!" Squeaked Sweetie Bell as she levatated a purple and pink one off the rack.
"I'm trying this one one!"Said Applebloom as she got a light green silk dress.
"I'm not sure if I should try one on" said Scootaloo waiting for Rainbow Dash's reaction.
"Me neither! I'm out!" Said Rainbow Dash as she zoomed outside. Scootaloo rushed after Rainbow Dash.
"Guess it's just us five" said Babs as she looked around the boutique.
"Good! We don't need those two party poopers!" Said Sweetie Bell as she trotted over to the makeup stand.
★★★★★
Daring Do slowly removed a coat of blue eyeshadow and practiced her fancy speaking. Rarity had bought her a vanity mirror a makeup set and had made her three different outfits. The first was a blue fashion vest, the second was a tropical paradise dress and third was a fancy light green dress and of course her greenish sweater and beray.
"I don't get why your being so fancy all of a sudden!" Said Rainbow Dash as she snuggled in on her top bunk. It was night already.
"It's who I am like I said before! It's just a more fancy me" said Daring Do as she carefully took off her sweater and beray.
" but you were supposedd to take the crusaders exploring today not to a fancy spa!" She said as she put her spitfire plush toy by her pillow.
"Listen Rainbow, this is who I am! This is who I truley am and there is no way to change me now!" Said Daring Do as she neatly climbed into her bottom bunk.
"Fine but don't say I didn't warn you" said Rainbow Dash as she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
"Good Morning Rainbow Dash" said Daring Do as she put on a new coat of blue eyeshadow.
"Were are you going?" Asked Rainbow Dash quickly.
Daring Do chuckled as she got out her suitcase. "I'm staying in Queen Ender Moon's castle for the night!" She said as she put on her fancy greenish sweater and Berea.
Rainbow Dash looked sad "oh" she said simply.
"Don't worry dear you can come too!" Said Daring Do as she put her makeup set in her suitcase.
"Nah. Like I said. I'm not interested in fancy stuff." Said Rainbow Dash as she sat up and hugged her Spitfire plush doll.
"Well maybe the Cutie Mark Crusaders can come over to our apartment and sleep in my bed tonight!" Said Daring Do as she was about to go out the door.
"Eh..sure whatever" said Rainbow Dash as the door slammed shut.
Daring Do quickly troted to Carousel Boutique. She let herself in. "Hello Darling!" Said Daring.
"Hello Daring, Dear did you pack your suitcase?" Asked Rarity who was in a similar sweater as hers only blue and a dark blue berea.
"Yeah! I'm all set to go!" She said as the two mares trotted out into the foggy windy day.
"We have to meet up with Sapphire Shores at the train station...and last night I was thinking..sense your not into all the exploring and dares anymore maybe you can change your name to Darling Do or something?" Asked Rarity.
"Brilliant, Dear! Yes I am now on Darling Do!" She said as she was greeted by a cream mare with a blue dress.
"Hello Ra-rity!" Said the cream pony named Sapphire Shores.
"Hello Dear! I would like you to meet my friend Darling Do!" Said Rarity as Daring trotted up to her.
"Hello there Darling!" Said Sapphire Shores as she grinned at her.
"Sapphire, dear! Nice to meet you!" Said Daring Do as she exchanged hugs with Sapphire Shores.
"ALLABOARD!!" said the train conductor as every pony in the train station boarded the train.
The three mares quickly galloped on board. They gave their tickets to the conductor and went on the first class sextion wich was in the front. The seats were red satin and it had personal headphones and television.
"Seems fancy!" Said Daring Do as she took the seat by the window. Rarity sat next to her and Sapphire Shores sat in front of the two mares.
"Lets chat shall we?" Asked Rarity as she put her hoofs on the large marble table in front of them.
"May I take your order ladies?" Asked a caramel coated stallion
"I wil take an order of chicken alfredo pasta" said Rarity as she scanned her menu quickly.
" I'll get an oat shake and a medium order of the guest favorite of orange chicken and steamed rice" said Daeing Do as she quickly scanned her menu also" said Daring.
"I would like to get the creamy sauce taco" said Sapphire Shores as they felt the train turn on and to Canterlot they went.
"Do you know the Queen personally?" Asked Sapphire as she turned back to Rarity and Daring Do.
Rarity sighed. "Me and my friends are going to try to gather every pony in Equestria who is good and try and attack her...But well we've seen others try and they all ende up slaughtered and dead at the hoofs of that blood thirsty mare" said Rairity as she looked down.
"Well..the queen isn't a bad ruler. She is more successful in battles against other emipres and her brother seems nice" said Sapphire Shores as she looked over at Daring Do "what do you think Darling Do?" Asked Sapphire.
"I think that her brother is handsome!" Giggled Daring Do.
"It's not hard to see where he gets his charms from" said Rarity sarcastically.
"Well to me it makes no sense! So there's the whole family with a black coat and all of a sudden a orange coat!" Said Sapphire Shores.
"That is right! When I first saw him in the family painting that came out shortly after Ender Moon was promoted Queen! I remember going to school with her!" Said Rarity.
"I recall being in the eighth grade when she publicly emberassed Trixie by casting a spell to mele herself look like her.
"Yes that Trixie" sighed Daring Do.
"Your food ladies" said the caramel coated pony as he gave them their food as he levetated it with his magic and passed it to them.
"Thank you kind sir" said Rarity as she took hers with her magic.
