Daniel Book Two

"As I was saying before Spitfire, the game here doesn't have the Shadowbolts signed up. Nightshade told me about training the wierdest thing with wings she's ever seen!" She said it stood on two legs, and could grow its wings on command!" A blue pony said, stepping off the plane with a flame maned one.

"I don't believe what your sister said, there is no way a thing like that, other than say a wyvern hydra mix breed or something." Spitfire, the second one said, they both chuckled.

"Good point, I mean -- Whoa OOF!" Soran tripped and plowed right into another person. "Oh, uh sorry, when I'm not in the air, I'm such a clutz." Soran said, his head still spinning.

"That's okay, but could you get off of me maybe?" Daniel said. Soran rolled off of him, and they both got up. "Well, bye." Daniel said, walking back over to his group.

Soran just stood there staring. "Uh, wait!" Soran said.

"Uh, okay." Daniel said.

"Can you grow wings?" Soran asked.

"Uh, yeah, I guess, why?" Daniel was getting a little creeped out now.

"Show me." Soran said, taking a step forward.

"Uh, okay...?" Daniel's wings flared open. "You're begining to creep me out."

"You must be that new recruit my sister Nightshade was talking about." Soran said.

"Oh, well that explains alot, sort of." Daniel hesitated a moment. "My name's Daniel." Daniel stuck his hand out.

"Soran, any friend of my sister, is a friend of mine. Save for Stratus, he creeps the hell out of me." Soran shuddered. Daniel nodded in agreement.

"I agree, I chose from the start to just steer clear of him, although, he reminds me of somebody I know, I just can't place my finger on it." Daniel said.

"Finger? What's that?" Soran asked confused.

"Oh, uh, these." Daniel said, holding out his hands, and wiggling his fingers.

"Oh, well, alright, well, shouldn't you be in the Everfree right now training?" Soran asked, Spitfire walked up.

"Oh, crap, well, I'm going to get beaten to a pulp, but it's going to be worth it, most likely." Daniel said, with a chuckle.

"So what are you doing here?" Soran asked.

"Oh, uh, exploring." Daniel said, thinking of a lie.

"Daniel, come on, the map says tha- Oh. My. Celestia." Dash stopped talking suddenly, staring at Soran and Spitfire. "First Daring Doo, now the Wonderbolts? Best day ever!" She finished.

"Hey, your Rainbow Dash right? you placed first in the young fliers competition." Spitfire said.

"You recognise me?" Dash said.

"Well kid, you kind of are one to remember, I mean who could forget the sonic rainboom? It was amazing! Or so I've heard, I wasn't actually awake when I saw it." Spitfire said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"That's right, Rarity knocked you out, sorry about that." Dash said.

"Nah, it's cool." Spitfire said.

"So, are you two on a date then?" Soran said.

"Uh, no." Daniel said.

"No way!" Dash exclaimed.

"Alright no need to get angry, I was just asking, I mean he is kind of cute." Soran said.

"Whoa dude, take it back just a little bit." Daniel said, his face getting red. " I don't exactly swing that way, if you know what I mean." He finished, wishing he could just be out of there.

"Oh, sorry." Soran said, red showing through his blue fur.

"It's cool, I don't really care, besides, my girlfriend is right over there." Daniel pointed to Ditzy who wasa grapping a coffee.

"So, Dash, what are you doing in the Griffin Empire then?" Spitfire asked.

"Oh, uh, well, tell her Daniel." Dash said.

"What, oh, we came, to see your show!" Daniel said.

"I thought you said exploring" Spitfire said.

Soran, glad for the distraction, spoke up, "What does it matter Spitfire? They would have to be going on an adventure with Daring Doo to make me care." Of all times for Daring to walk up, life chose that exact moment.

"Dan, Dash, come on, we have to check in to our hotel." She said.

"Okay, now I'm curious." Soran said.

"We are going on a treck into the jungle, you'll read about in my next book, most likely." Daring said, trotting away.

"See you later." Daniel said with a wave.

"Uh, bye, I guess." Spitfire said with a wave of her own.

"Wierdest day ever." Soran said.

"Uh huh." Spitfire said. "Although that Rainbow Dash is kind of cute." Spitfire said.

"You know, I just realized something." Soran said.

"Yeah?" Spitfire said.

"Both the captain, and second in command of the Wonderbolts, are both about as straight as a rainbow." Soran said, laughing.

"Let's go." Spitfire said rolling her eyes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A/N--There is a point to this chapter, and that point will be shown later in the story. Also, yet again, this chapter came out as a pile of changeling shit, I rewrote it weveral times, and I still don't like it, oh, and the adventure is begining in a couple of chapters.
