Rainbow Dash and The Diamond Dog Crown

Rainbow Dash's jaw went slack,mouth hanging open.Her brain was trying to process what she was seeing.It failed to compute.Standing in front of her was her idol,her saviour from boring nights at home with nothing to do but read about her adventures.

"Hmm,seems like your a bit confu-"She stopped as she noticed the book sticking out of Rainbow's saddle bag.Rainbow Dash blushed for an unknown reason.

"now i know why your more than a bit shocked to see me as i am.And before you say anything,im looking for a Daring assistant to help me on an adventure."She smiled at her own joke and looked expectantly at Rainbow,as if she would point out the path to someone who was up for it.

"Um,uh..um,I.."She could only stutter as her reality sank in. Daring Do was standing in front of her. And wanting an assisstant!She instantly took an offensive stance and put on her tough mare face.She stood up tall and started her tough-guy speech.

"Well then miss Do!You have a treat waiting for you at the end of the rainbow."She flicked her rainbow-hewed tail and laughed at her own joke and continued.

"I am the best,BEST athlete in Equestria!No offense,but if your looking for an assistant you've come to the right place!"She flexed her wings to prove her point and hovered off the ground a few feet.

Do looked at her strangely as if something was nagging at the back of her mind about this brave pegasus,who reminded her much of herself.She looked the pegasus over and found that she had the much needed bravery and courage she had as a young filly.

"you've got the style and the strength,ill give you that,but so you have what it takes to survive in the desert for weeks on end with little to no water and food?"

Dash couldn't believe that the opportunity just presented itself to her to join her idol in her adventures and become an adventuring legend.She reached out and placed a forehoof on Daring's hat to make sure she was actually here and she was not hallucinating.How could she say no?

"Well,"She said as if she didn't have a choice."i guess i might be able to come with you,if my schedule is clear."Her mind was bursting at the seams at the choice she was making.

"My name is Rainbow Dash,by the way!"

She stuck her hoof out for a hoofshake which rainbow took gladly.

"Welcome aboard Rainbow Dash!"
