“Well we did spend few hours In Somnambulla, and so far we do have confirmation on the broken apple cart, and the broken statue.” Rainbow Dash just came back from the scouting the town, and all of them just now are in Get On Inn and had been discussing what they did during the day. While Rainbow has been in the town. Pinkie and Daring Do have been visiting local tourist zones. Pinkie was happy she had been dragging Daring around, and both of them had to have fun in general.
“Well we did do expected that, so what did you do?” Daring was laying on the bed and just looking into the wall.
“I tried to patiently listen to the apple cart pony problems, and then I suggested that he should just let it go and stop blowing it out of the proportion.
Flashback to the marketplace, about a few hours ago.
“Listen, dude, as far as I understand some random pony wrecked your cart by complete accident. So is it just my imagination, or you are trying to drag her reputation through the mud, just so you could feel better about your own ego!” Rainbow Dash had been trotting from side to side while glaring an angry glare toward her offender. “And it just so happens that this random pony is no other than Daring Do herself.” Rainbow took an apple from the cart and took a single bit onto the cart. She then took a bite.
“And you!” She turned to some shady pony who had been wearing a cloak, and who also had a bad case of after morning aftershave “I don’t like you!” She made a quick gesture with the hoof as if to say I am watching you! Then she narrowed her eyes just to emphasize the point.
Fast forward into Get On Inn.
“So not only did you played out an asshole with an apple routine but also tracked down Daring Do arch nemesis Dr. Caballeron.” Pinkie Pie had been swinging on the chair sideways.
“Did I overdid it? I originally wanted to pull the apple with the knife routine, but there was no knife.”
“Careful Dashie, Applejack would never forgive your apple sins.”
“Oh, I am so scared!” Rainbow Dash dramatically waved her hooves in the air.
“I believe you said something about Dr. Caballeron.” Daring Do suddenly looked interested, and not being bored out of her mind.
“Yeah, that dude was yapping all day how Daring Do was a bad pony, and I think he let it slip up few dozen times. What is his problem with you anyway?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I mean like why is he so focused on you. I get it that he is Caballeron and you are Daring Do, and you both hate each other, but why?”
“Well hate is such a strong word,” Daring looked visibly uncomfortable. “I don’t really remember what the deal originally was, but I and he had been battling heads ever since my very first adventure. With that done how did you managed to get us a room.”
“I know a pony who knows another pony, who owes me a favor!” Rainbow quickly offered an excuse.
“Okay, but how it really went down.” Daring didn't believe her for a second. “Rainbow please try to explain from the very beginning.”
“From the very beginning of Big Bang? So at first, there was nothing and then Faust said: Let there be the light, and there was a light.”
“Rainbow please stop!”
“Or did you want to hear about our lord and savior Larson!”
“Rainbow!!! Please for the love of Faust!”
“Okay okay, I am just messing with you. I carefully explained to the Inn owner that having Daring Do as a constant visitor is a good for their publicity, unless she doesn't want it to be otherwise, then this inn would be a great nothing right in the middle of nowhere. So then I offered a to pay up the debt with the bonus.”
“A dish of blackmail with a tea spoon of bribery.” Daring shook her head.
“If you want to say it that way, sure that’s exactly what happened.”
“So what? Do we just knock him and drop him hard, before he had a chance to completely ruin the Daring Do reputation," Pinkie Pie went downstairs and came back with a glass of water and ice.
"I was thinking of a more hit and run approach, but if we just use violence then this would make us look like bigots. No, this had to be smart, we need to wait for the opportunity to play dirty, and strike when he least expects it."
"Fantastic, so this is the plan then, I just, I do feel kind of sleepy," with those words Pinkie Pie fell asleep on the floor.
"Woah! Is she okay?" Daring asked with worry.
"Yeah, it happens sometimes. Nothing to worry about. She just crashed from hyperactivity, and now she is just sleeping. So tell me what did you do while I was out."
"Well first we went to the pyramid, and after a while, Pinkie started to shout something about aliens from outer space.
"Huh, sounds just like Pinkie, too much of late night watching about ancient space pony boogiemare theories." Rainbow Dash took Pinkie from the floor and put her on the bed. She then laid down next to her and put her head on the pillow. "Goodnight Daring."
"Goodnight to you too Rainbow."
In her dreams, Rainbow counted Twilight, one Twilight, two Twilight, three Twilight... One hundred Twilight. Meanwhile, in Pinkie's dream, there were a bunch of flying saucers that have been flying around over Somnambulla. Pinkie Pie softly squealed in her dream.
Daring Do had been having a dream where she had been chasing a somepony in a jungle. The pony stole something from her, but she couldn't remember what.
On another side of town, Dr. Caballeron had been having his own dream, the world without Daring Do, the world where he finally got to be recognized as the greatest archaeologist in this century. "Finally I surpassed you Daring Do, It is I Doctor Caballeron the very best. Not you but me!" He said in his dream.
