Daring Do's Remembrance

Daring Do stepped into Sugarcube Corner to grab something for Starbright. Starbright was right behind her a small smile cracked on her face as she saw all the goodies in the bakery. Daring smiled and looked at her.

“ Well Starbright? I’m going to buy you a treat here at Sugarcube Corner so go look around and pick something out while I have a chat with Pinkie alright?.” Daring spoke as she walked over to the counter.

Pinkie Pie was oddly absent but she was sure the store was open for business. The only way she knew how to get her attention was to ring the bell on the counter. Though the second she hit the bells ringer she heard a bang and saw confetti flying in front of her face. The usual pinkie greeting she thought.

“Pinkie was that really necessary? “ Daring said annoyed at the surprise greeting.

“Heh sorry about that ms Do it's just been awhile since your last visit so i figured i do something special “ Pinkie said coming down from the stairs.

“Besides I don't get much practice in heavy fire arms anymore. Especially since the wars are over and everything.” Pinkie said as she was reminiscing the fun times she had being in charge of the heavy weapons.

“I guess I can understand that. Guess the war gave you new hobbies. You tinker with your cannons to perfect them? “ Daring Do asked as she looked over at the hidden cannon that appeared and surprised her only moments ago.

“Oh yes it’s quite fun to tinker with rockets and other heavy guns. Sometimes i take apart my cannons for fun. It helps keep my mind off of things when I need the distraction.” She said smiling sadly as she grabs her cannons and puts them up.

“So i guess you miss her as much as the others, huh?” Daring asked knowing the reason why she would need to get her mind off of “certain things” as she said.

“ Who doesn't?” Pinkie said, forcing a smile on her face.

“ I mean she’s a hero here. Who wouldn’t miss such a great mare.” Pinkie said as the bell rang, telling her that another customer came in the door. As the two looked to see who just came in they saw fluttershy stepping inside the bakery.

“Hi fluttershy how are the wounded soldiers?” Pinkie asked

“Oh they’re fine Pinkie it's just exhausting work to tend to them even though the wars over. I should be done working in a few months. Most of the wounded soldiers have gotten better and sent home. Oh hello ms Do I didn't know you would be here.” Fluttershy said

“Heh yeah i figured i’d try my best to help cheer Starbright up by giving her any treats she wants. “ Daring Said as she turned her head to see Starbright looking around at the sweet and delicious treats on display. Daring couldn’t help but giggle as it seems like she was having a tough time deciding on what to get.

“ Anyways pinkie I'd like one apple cake please. I could use something sweet after the long day I had at work.” Fluttershy said as she wiped some sweat off her brow

“Coming right up ms shy.” Pinkie said going down into the displays to grab a slice of fluttershy’s order.

“Here you are ms shy” she said as she presented Fluttershy with her plate of cake.

“So how do you deal with it pinkie? You seem quite happy despite the dark clouds floating over everyone's heads.” Daring asked Pinkie.

“Well i’m not only in charge of heavy weapons but i’ve also been in charge of increasing moral support within the ranks.I always put a smile for anyone especially for Starbright who needs a smile more than ever.” Pinkie said as she looked at Starbright with a sigh.

“Heh that's quite nice of you Pinkie. Not a lot of ponies can force a smile like that. Especially for others. I just hope that it's enough to make her happy.” Daring said.

“Sometimes forcing a big smile is what makes all the difference” Fluttershy said as she started to nom on her cake.

“Ms. Can I get a zap apple cake?” Starbright said walking over to Daring Do. Daring smiled and gave a nod while handing pinkie pie the required bits for one of her zap apple cakes.

“One zap apple cake coming right up” Pinkie said as she went to grab an entire cake of zap apple and gave it to Daring

“ uh Pinkie i think that's more than what I paid for.” Daring questioned but pinkie smiled

“Consider it on the house Daring Do and save some for your daughter too i’m sure she would love some.” Pinkie stated as Starbrigt’s eyes began to Twinkle at the sight of having an entire cake for her and her family and friends.

“So what made you pick the zap apple Starbright?” Daring asked

“Well ……. I always wanted to try one but my mom was too busy to actually go to get one from the bakery. I only wish she would be here to have a bite herself.” Starbright said frowning

“Well at least you’ll get a bite this time “ Daring said giving Starbright a smile she needed. She returned the smile and hugged Daring Do.

“Daring can I ask you a favor? “ Starbright said looking up at Daring Do

``Sure what is it?”

“I want to save a slice for my Twilight in the fridge” This statement brought down the mood and put frowns on everypony even Pinkie’s smile turned into a frown for a split second.

“Sweetie you know she won't be able to eat it right? “ Daring said, looking at Starbright in concern.

“No i believe Twilight will most definitely come back one day and when she does I want her to have a slice.” Starbright said.

“Alright sweetie but honestly i think its a waste of a slice. I’ll be sure to put one up for her.

“Thank you Ms do” Starbright said with a small smile on her face.with that Daring Do and Starbright left the bakery.

“Heh quite the handful isn’t she?” Fluttershy said, smiling as they both left.

“Yup. Now if you’ll excuse me i gotta go finish tinkering with the RPG i have upstairs. “ Pinkie said, leaving to head back upstairs again.

“They’re quite strong aren't they Twilight “ Fluttershy spoke to herself as she let small streams of tears flow through her cheeks.
