The fire crackled happily, sparks shooting up into the night.
It had been decided that we were to stay one more night to allow everypony to get ready and the researchers to finish documenting everything they could.
Now when we knew this place was here and it's exact location, there would be more expeditions but nopony wanted to leave the job half finished.
The moon shined high above and I pulled Sunset a bit closer with my wing, giving her ear a small nuzzle, "It's fine, I promise."
"You said it was just a scratch," she said and poked at my bandage again, "Then what's this?"
"To keep it clean," I reassured her, "Seriously, it's fine. Even my horn had stopped hurting by now."
Something roared far in the distance and our ears perked up, Sunset looking out towards the darkness outside the barricades and then shivered slightly, "This place is..."
"Like the Everfree," I agreed, "Everything is wild and ponies are very much on the menu."
Sunset nodded and looked over to the next fire where Midnight and Sparks were conversing quietly, "...How's she doing?"
"Midnight?" I asked, "She's... it's difficult for her. Everything she has gone through, I just want to give her a hug and tell her everything will be okay, but..."
"It might not," Sunset agreed quietly with a small sigh as she leaned against my side, "I think spending time with Twi might be a good idea. We talked during the journey."
"Oh?"
Sunset nodded, "Twi's moving back to Canterlot, at least for a while. She's thinking of getting a small place."
"That's good right?" I asked, resting my horn against hers, "She'll be much closer to you then."
Sunset smiled slightly, "That's one of the pros," she admitted, "She's not that happy about leaving her friends behind though."
"That always sucks."
She nodded, "Yeah... anyway, we were talking and she's going to ask Midnight if she and her Spike want to move in with Twi and her Spike."
I blinked and then smirks, "Two Spikes and two Twilights beneath one roof? I fear for Canterlot."
Sunset elbowed me slightly with a grin, "Be nice."
I grinned at her and shook my head before I gave her a small nuzzle, "I think you're right," I finally said, "I think it might be good for her... hell, both of them. Finally they have somepony as smart as they are to talk to."
"Mmm," Sunset agreed and shifted slightly to lean against my side as she looked over towards her marefriend, "I have an education in advanced magical theory, I can usually follow her, but there are times she loses me too," she admitted.
"I don't," I said with a smile, "She definitely loses me quickly."
Sunset shifted to look at me, pulling away from her side, "You know what? You should."
"Should what?"
"Get one," Sunset said with a smile, "Maybe not specifically advanced magical theory, but there are tons of things you'd find useful even without going that deep into it."
"Oh yeah," I agreed as I nodded, "I'll just go get a PhD in my copious amounts of free time. I'll sneak it in between handling the 'lings and trying to find a way for Batponies to be accepted in general pony society."
Sunset rolled her eyes and shifted up against my side again, resting her head against my neck, "I'm not saying 'do it now', wingboy. You're immortal, you'll find time sooner or later."
"Yes, because that's the way things are trending for me," I said dryly, giving her ear tip a small nip, "More free time."
Her ear flicked and she turned to stick her tongue out at me, "You know what I mean!"
"Yeah, yeah," I sighed and glanced up towards the stars above.
The sound of hooves made me glance back just in time to spot Luna before she settled by my other side, spreading her wing across both of us as she gave me a quick nuzzle.
"Hey," I said and nuzzled back, "Done playing with your pet rock?"
"Hush you," Luna said with a smile.
Sunset giggled and then shifted, "Okay, one of you two, wing off. It's way too hot for both of you to be doing that!"
I shifted my wing off her back and then looked over as Dee exited from the interior of the pyramid carrying a touch in one hoof, "All done?" I asked her.
Dee nodded, "Last drawing done," she agreed with a smile, patting her bag with her wing.
Sparks looked up from where she was by the other fire, "Daring!? I didn't know you were here!"
I looked at her and then back to Dee in confusion. Dee Dee. Daring. Daring Doo.
I felt my jaw slowly drop.
Dee... Daring sighed, "Why did she have to go yelling my name," she said and shook her head.
that was the best way to name drop her.
Y’know, he’ll probably end up really chill about it. He certainly knows what it’s like to try and hide an identity.
And then all ponies within earshot of that statement go into total fangasm mode with plenty of squeeing and asking of autographs.
Well. We know that some ponies called it a long time ago. This is just sunset confirming it lol.
Heh, Daring got revealed almost exactly like I expected, although I assumed it would happen after they got back
be cool Page.
call her Double D.
10472892
Had to happen sooner or later..
Insert facepaw here...
Huh, Twilight ain't here?Edit: Yeup, I can't read!
Goddamn it I hate when the main character is clueless as hell. Some of you might like it, and that's fine, but this was so obvious it infuriates me.
Dawwe... A mystery solved is just another fact revealed O well... QUE IN INDIANA JONES!
10472852
Good one not best one. Best would be a villain show up, monolog and drop Daring Do rant over the fact she was there first before him.
10472863
*deep rumble from the jungle* Daring Do: "O no its going to happen again..." Page: " O crap! Another Canivore attack?!" Darin Do: "No... Worse... Fans that want a hug..." Page: " I think i prefer the carnivores...".
take fronthoof
insert into face
I really hope Daring is somehow added to Page's 'herd'
Called it.
10473010
Yes she is
*Luna and Sunset start whispering to each other*
Luna: So maybe our Page didn't waste the time after all...I have no complaints.
Sunset: I agree...She's acceptable. Yes yes yes
Luna: Miss Daring Doo?
Daring Doo: Umm yes Princess?
Luna: If you succeed in this conquest, you have our full blessing.
Sunset: The field is super competitive right now but we wish you the best of luck. *wink*
Daring Doo: Oh....OH! *blush* Thank you! Thank you!
Page: What are you talking about?
Luna: Nothing.
Sunset: You'll get it eventually.
Page: What don't anypony give me a straight answer?!
10473007
Huh? Must have missed something. Does Indiana says something about welcoming to infested jungle or something?
10473113
Black--Soul basically saying he is more into the Indiana Jones references but liked your reference as well.
You expect subtlety from Twilight?
And with that she threw a smoke bomb at Page and took to the air.
“Patent Pending! This story is mine Mother Bucker!”
Page is silent for a moment. Before rising. “Sunset get me my typewriter. It’s a write off.”
“W-what?”
“I have to finish this story before she does and get it to a publisher. This is the way of the written word.”
10458359
Called it
Wait I'm a little confused here
Shouldn't Midnight have know that De De is Daring Doo?
She is the one from the timeline closest to the original one, so she met her with Rainbow Dash in "Daring Don't" episode
https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Daring_Don%27t
Or at least both Twilight’s should know her
10473140
Here is the question, WHERE did the Indiana reference CAME from? Can I see a clip or quote or SOMETHING, where Indiana said anything remotely simular? To qualify as a reference there must be SOMETHING simular. Please, enligthen me.
What Daring Doo?
Why didn't I figure that out? It was kind of obvious if I think about it.
10473218
Ok then. Let's look at the comment in question:
Uuu... Nice = Stating he liked your comment
= Emoji to indicate the next following statement is for comic effect.
More of the Indiana Jones myself = General self-observation of type of reference enjoyed in fake smugness
= Further emphasizing the smugness.
THERE! You're welcome!
*Sparks recognizes Daring*
Daring Do "well f*** so much for no one finding out..."
The sum up for what just happened.
10473188
Maybe midnight knew that DD wanted to keep her identity secret?
10473298
You are either troll, or an idiot. My question was where did HE found REFERENCE to INDIANA JONES. Where Indiana said ANYTHING about "welcome to the jungle" in any way?! My quote was for phrase in the fanfic, and I referenced a very real song by Guns and Roses named "Welcome to The Jungle".
Where has INDIANA JONES said ANYTHING SIMULAR, you IDIOT?! I REFERENCED few key words, Welcome to the ... jungle. Where, WHERE did Indiana Jone CAME FROM?
Should I repeat it several dozen times more, just so you UNDERSTAND?!?!
10473060
Thanks for the correction, not sure how I missed that. I blame lack of sleep.
10473052
last chapter put her hard into the friendzone, especially now that twilight has blown her cover
10473384
Maybe he/she mistook it with the music?
That's the first thing that comes to mind becesue I don't remeber the movies that much to remember any quotes
10473384
Diamond...your question about where references is from is not the reason for your confusion. Your reading comprehension is the reason for your confusion.
You didn't understand Black's reply to your comment. I explain it for you. You still didn't understand and demanded more details. So I did just that using the original comment.
That is not trolling. That is giving you exactly what you asked for.
Paige, you dense motherbucker... And I mean that in several ways....
... Seriously?
Come on Page, you let the Fandom down.
10473474
My gosh, this discussion went on forever. It took a lot more clicks and reading than I thought to see what the problem was.
And in my opinion ...
I think they were just saying they like Indiana Jones music over the Guns and Roses for the segment.
That's how I saw it.
10473464
Well, this might be the case.
10473474
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/473127/repercussions#comment/10472550
I reference Guns and Roses, I REFERENCE them in responce to "Welcome to the monster infected jungle" in the story. To which I get reply.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/473127/repercussions#comment/10473007
"Nice, I like Indiana more". If anyone has reading comprehension troubles it's Black.
How else do you jump from direct reference/music to what someone likes? For all you know I can hate Guns and Roses. Just know this one song and lyrics. Just so you understand, I REFERENCE the LINE "Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games" from the song. To which I get a NONSENSE comment about Indiana Jones. I remain confused, at how you can defend the jump and reasoning for so many comments straight.
10473575
Diamond. You are one dragging this discussion along not me. It is obvious from your past history here that you can't hold any form of a mature discussion without personally insulting people.
So just skip to the end where you childishly tell me to "get lost" like you always do here and DROP THE TOPIC.
10473605
Yeah, past history with imbecils, who don't count my arguments for sh*t. Yeah, I'm in the wrong, I'm the kid, I'm the hater. Do go on.
How did he not see that? It was the most obvious thing in the world.
10473218
Music to listen to. He didnt say a thing Its about music to a part one would hear wile reading.
There are Starwars, Star Trek, Stargate and many other series that have very good audiotracks for those situation to but 'Indiana Jones' is one you often see people connect with jungles. You know the old game 'Stuntman'? Indiana Jones is so famous its almost ridiculous how good it fits into most adventures
Your music link was nice to listen to while autoreading but Indiana Jones just fit better for my personal taste
10473298
101 explaining for everyone
Thanks

My sister has a puppy, still growing still bigger than most dogs are... Couldnt hurt a fly or defend himself. Basicly what i expected Fern to be. Big and perhaps looking like one not to mess with but a infant in mind and heart.

A rexosaurous rushes out of the jungle toward the temple and screams out, "HELPMEEEEE!!!!" just before it gets trampled....
