My Little Pony: Queen of Shadows

Sombra's P.O.V.

"Wait so Daring Do is not only real but you all found out A.K. Yearling is Daring Do?!" I exclaimed

"And that's why I'm glad this library is soundproof." Twilight said.

"Sorry...it's just...that's not something I expected." I said. Suddenly Rainbow Dash barged in.

"OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!" She exclaimed, holding the latest Daring Do book in her hooves.

"Whoa...guess A.K. Yearling really did give you an advance copy of the upcoming book." Twilight said, smiling. "But what's got you..." Rainbow Dash showed her the cover.

"TALK ABOUT RADICALLY AWESOME, AM I RIGHT?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"She actually wrote us into the book?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. Though she seemed to have kept the focus on me." Rainbow Dash said. "Anyways, I'm already done reading it. I'll let you borrow it. There's...somewhere I need to be." Rainbow Dash said, smiling before flying off.

"...Wonder where she could be off to in such a hurry?" I asked.

"I don't know, but she looked excited." Twilight said, smiling. "Speaking of, I was wondering if tomorrow you'd be interested in going on a date, Sombra." She asked nervously.

"Times really have changed in a thousand years. Back in those days, it'd take the stallion to ask that. All the same, I was hoping to ask you first thing tomorrow the same question." I said.

"So does this mean..." Twilight said, and then I nodded. She squeed in joy.

"Gee calm down there..." I said, groaning.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V.

I soon arrived at A.K. Yearling's house, which is also the home of Daring Do as they are one and the same. I knocked on the door.

"...Rainbow Dash, your here already?" A.K. Yearling asked before getting me inside and closing the door; locking it before making sure every window was covered and then taking off her disguise.

"Still awesome." I said, smiling as I looked upon Daring Do in all her glory outside of her disguise.

"I never thought about having friends, mostly because I work alone." Daring Do said. "But I guess if my last adventure taught me anything, it's that you can't always do things by yourself." She said. "So I guess what I'm saying is, if the opportunity comes up, if you have free time, you can join me on my next adventure." She said.

"You don't even NEED to ask. I'm there." I said.

"Good. Also, one other thing..." Daring Do soon gave me a special ticket.

"Wait...isn't this a...." I stammered.

"...A V.I.P. pass to the upcoming Daring Do convention a few months from now? Yes. Yes it is. Normally you'd have to pay all outdoors to afford one of these, but considering the latest book includes you, I think it wouldn't make sense for you to not have this." Daring Do said, smiling.

"I am SO there!" I said, smiling. I didn't want to let my excitement get to my head in her presence, but you can bet I did when I got home.

Twilight's P.O.V.; the next day

I was having a nice dinner with Sombra as we were eating out for our date tonight.

"Not gonna lie..." Sombra said. "Being with you, getting to know you and your friends...I don't think I've ever been this accepted since Radiant Hope." He said.

"And I'm so glad you decided to give this a shot. I don't think I've ever seen you so happy before." I said, smiling.

"That's because of how happy you and your friends make me. But all of it wouldn't have been possible without you." Sombra said, smiling. "Twilight...I may not be a proper king anymore...but I still like to call myself the King of Shadows." He said.

"Of course you do. I haven't forgotten." I said.

"Which is why, I think we should try dating more often then this. I really want to spend time with you in particular. The feelings you make me feel...I haven't felt them since...you know..." Sombra said. "But that doesn't matter. In fact, in two weeks from today, I would love to spend all day with you; alone. Just the two of us." He said.

"I'd love that too." I said.

Ever heard the phrase "life can throw a monkey wrench into your plans"?

Well that day it would throw a Mokey Wrench into my plans with Sombra. And I would learn the day when Radiant Hope died. A day that I would never forget.
