Note: Just because Derpy is cross eyed doesnt she has a problem with talking! Also, this is my first ever story. Tell me what you think in the comments.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rainbow was flying above the town, looking down at the ponies and unicorns admiring her. She was originally going over to Fluttershy's to help her round up her bunnies... but Fluttershy said if she couldn't make it, she would understand.

While heading over, she encountered that grey coated and Yellow haired Pegasus, trying to do some sort of trick. Rainbow sighed, remembering the time she almost destroyed the Town Hall, and continued heading to Fluttershy's.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" The pegasus said.

"Oh.. hey Derpy..." Rainbow turned, a slight tone of annoyance that Derpy couldn't catch.

"I was wondering if you could do this trick..."

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Of course I can do your flip, turn, corkscrew, or anything else."

"Oh boy! You can? Because I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to see you do a corkscrew, 3 loops, and a Cloud Swirl for me!"

Rainbow thought, Too easy, I could do that with my eyes closed but she did say this out loud, for she did not want to upset her friend. "Sure I can. Maybe after this, you want to do a race?"

"Oh... um... I don't know... I would never go faster then you."

"Don't worry, Ill go easy on you."

In the back of her mind, she wanted to fly as fast as she could, just to hear the wind roaring in her ears, going over her wings...

Rainbow started flying. She needed to do something, anyway. She was bored out of her mind until Fluttershy asked her to help her, But Fluttershy said she always had Applejack, which was actually a better herder then Rainbow Dash, but she would never say outload.

She easily did the corkscrew, the 3 loops, and the cloud swirl. For something a little extra, she did a nose dive and almost hit the ground. She turned around and went back to Derpy, who was smiling with her eyes in Derp form. Rainbow always loved that look. Derpy's golden yellow eyes in those angle's were just hilarious to Rainbow. When Rainbow approached Derpy, her eyes went back to normal, and Rainbow was a little disappointed.

"Wow Rainbow Dash! I don't think I would ever be able to do that last part without breaking a wing."

Rainbow smiled. "Thanks, Now, Lets get on to that race! It will be from here, around that mountain, and back. Okay? A nice fair game."

Derpy replied saying, "Oh okay, I will do your race."

They both lined up equally. Rainbow thought, I have this in the bag. 

They both counted down

"3"

"2"

"1"

"GO"

Rainbow started off with a medium pace. She was very surprised when Derpy passed her up.

Derpy looked back at Rainbow, giggling at the look on her face. She was trying her best to stay ahead of Rainbow, but she passed her up almost right as turned her head to look in front of her. She and Rainbow Dash were almost at the base of the mountain, Rainbow Dash way ahead of her. Derpy started to frown, she being way behind. Rainbow slowed down for her friend and waited for her to catch up, when she looked back, Derpy was catching up, and Rainbow lined up with her.

"Hey Rainbow! I like racing! Maybe we can do another after this one?" Derpy yelled over the roar of the air.

"I don't know, I have to help Fluttersh-"

"Look out!" Derpy stopped.

Rainbow looked ahead of her, and almost screamed when she saw the wall coming up, but Rainbow was too cool to scream, even if Derpy were here. Rainbow crashed into the wall, with stars of multiple colors in her eyes.

When Rainbow finally got up, she looked around with blurry eyes. all she could see was the stone around her. When Derpy saw that Rainbow was awake, She ran over to her and sighed with great relief. Rainbow could not hear well; just the ringing in her ears. "I'm so glad your awake!" Derpy said, but all rainbow heard was a muffled voice. She shook her head and tried to regain her vision. Her senses were coming back to her. She saw the greyish stone more clearly now, and the form of another pony- no, wait, another pegasus. At first Rainbow didn't know what she was doing here and why, but she quickly remembered her race with Derpy.

"Rainbow? Raaiinnnboowww??"

"Uh... Yeah?" Spoke Rainbow Dash.

"Are you okay? You hit right into the wall! And.... not a pretty drawing you made on it either..." Derpy said with a disgusted tone.

Rainbow looked behind her where she crashed. There was a little blood on the wall, but not much, nothing bad. She touched her face, looking for any traces of blood on her. When she pressed against her nose, it hurt, and Rainbow knew that was going to happen. He had blood coming out of her nose, but she would fix that when she went back to Ponyville.

Rainbow looked around. It was a little... odd for a cave. Since Rainbow loved adventure, she started walking down the stoney corridor.

"Where are you going, Rainbow Dash?" shouted Derpy.

"I'm seeing whats down here!" Rainbow called back.

Derpy followed. She, too, had a little urge for adventure from time to time. She'd done some adventure before. Well, of course she had. Her cousin always took her on adventures. Its a shame no-one even knew who her cousin is. Derpy was never credited in the stories, and she didn't mind. And, Derpy sometimes saw Rainbow reading the books. Derpy was proud of her cousin. (in case you haven't picked up on it yet, its Daring Do.)

Rainbow walked further down the corridor. It was becoming dark, so she went back to the entrance of the cave, got a stick and a piece of flint, and lit the stick. She ventured back into the semi-lit cave and walked further down. After a while, The stoney surface she was on turned to a smooth stone brick. Derpy noticed too.

"Rainbow? What happened to the stone? its all... smooth."

"I dont know... Hey... whats that?" Rainbow pointed to a beam of light from ahead.

The two pegasi trotted towards it. A torch from a wall. A few more going deeper into the... can you still call it a cave?

"Rainbow? Whats with the torches?" Derpy asked, full with curiosity.

"I have no idea, but it sure looks Awesome!"

What the two pegasi didn't know, was that they were entering a tomb full of traps, puzzles. and challenges. They were entering... The Tomb of the Golden Wing
