//------------------------------// // Diamond Confesses to Daring Do // Story: Daring Do: And The Divine Crown of the End // by Diamond-ChiVA //------------------------------// As they head back to Daring’s place, there was a moment of silence before Daring broke it. “Diamond?” Daring called her name. Diamond looks at her. “Why did you actually come back for me? I thought you were still upset at me for what I said yesterday.” said Daring. Diamond sighed as she looks at her. “Because my job is to protect everypony in Equestria from any threats. It’s what I do, I mean, yeah your words hurt yesterday, and may have lost confidence, but my certain friends told me, that no matter what they say to make my feelings hurt, it never stops me from doing what I do best. Plus, after some time thinking about it… Everypony deserves a second chance.” said Diamond with a small smile. Daring looks at her, feeling amazed on what Diamond did for her, even when she didn’t need it. She feels bad for what she said to Diamond yesterday and for the first time, Daring actually hugs her, not just comfortingly, but lovingly as she felt tears coming to her eyes. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” said Daring as her voice cracks, and started to cry in Diamond’s shoulder. Diamond smiled a little from that, and hugs her while rubbing her back in comfort. “That’s it… let it all out.” said Diamond. Daring continued to cry for a few minutes, before she calmed down, and wipes the tears from her eyes, before looking at her. “Your not alone on this, Daring. There was a reason why I was telling about what Caballeron was up to with the crown.” said Diamond. “W-What do you mean?” Daring asked. “Ok… this is gonna sound a little weird, but I've been having the same dream about you and me getting this crown for the past few days.” Diamond explained as she takes out the crown with her magic. “I wanted to know if it was real or not, and when I found out it was, I had to take the book home with me in case of any other archeologist tries to take it before you can, and after that, just as soon as I found out what Caballeron was up to, I knew I had to get you.” Daring was shocked by what she said. “Wow…” said Daring, shockingly. “Yeah… I came back… because I care about you, Daring. Just as much as you care about other ponies in danger cause of these types of artifacts.” said Diamond. “You… you really care about me that much?” Daring asked. Diamond nods yes, she then felt like she couldn’t hide her feelings any longer. “Are you ok?” Daring asked, feeling concerned. “Y-Yeah its just…” said Diamond, feeling nervous about what she’s gonna tell her. “Hm?” Daring grunted in question as she raised an eyebrow. “I know it’s gonna sound crazy, and… I know we just met… but… I…” said Diamond, nervously before she sighed. “Maybe it’s better if I tell you this way.” Diamond then started singing a love song to Daring. After she did that, she looks at Daring. Daring was amazed from her song. “Well?” Diamond asked. “D-Diamond, I… I… I don’t know what to say.” said Daring as she felt amazed by her words. “You don’t need to.” said Diamond as she got her to look at her and kissed her on the lips for the first time. Daring was shocked at first, but she slowly started to kiss her back, and wraps her hooves around her. Diamond did the same as the kiss went on. After a few minutes, they gently pulled away as they blushed with a smile. “Wow…” said Daring as she was kinda speechless from the kiss. “Mhm.” said Diamond with a nod. They both looked into each other for a bit before they stood up. “Daring… would you… would you be my girlfriend?” Diamond asked as she held Daring’s hoof. Daring looks at it then at her with a smile, and kissed her cheek, and nods yes. “Of course, though, maybe it’s best to keep it in private, we don’t want the whole love thing to go out of hand during our adventures together, I mean, I don’t know what will happen next, but… I know we won’t be doing this alone.” said Daring as she wrapped her wing around her. Diamond blushed. “We’ll be doing it together… as partners, ok?” said Daring as she looks at her with a wink. Diamond smiled and winks back. “You got it, Daring Do.” said Diamond as she then gives the crown to her. “I think this belongs to you.” “Actually.” Daring slid the crown back to Diamond. “You should keep it, cause as you said before, Equestria would be in danger if it did fall into the wrong hooves, or claws, and I don’t think they’ll be able to find it in your place.” Diamond looks at the crown then at Daring with a smile, before she then hugs her. “Thanks, Daring.” said Diamond. Daring then hugs back with a nuzzle on the cheek. She nuzzles back. “Now if you excuse me, I got a book that needs writing.” said Daring as she waves to her bye and took off back to her place. Diamond waves to her bye as well as she looks at the crown. Diamond then flew back to her place, feeling mixed love emotions right now. She soon got back to her place with the crown. Amethyst then came downstairs, noticing that she returned. “So, how did it go?” Amethyst asked. Diamond sigh lovingly. “I’d say this is the best day ever.” said Diamond as she has love sparks in her eyes. “So it did go well between you two.” Amethyst stated out. “Yep, it did, we worked it out, and we got the crown back from him, which by the way, I don’t think he’ll be back for a while.” said Diamond with a smile. “That’s good to hear.” said Amethyst as she hugs her. Diamond hugs her back. A few weeks pass by after that, Diamond was reading the book Daring Do: and the Sapphire Statue, the first Daring Do book that has came out. Rainbow Dash then came in from her bedroom window. “Soo… I’m guessing it went out well?” Rainbow asked with a grin. Diamond blushed with a nod yes. Rainbow then sat down right next to her. “I’m glad it did, so, it’s been a few weeks, the next Daring Do book should be coming soon.” said Rainbow. “Yep, and I can’t wait to see it, I mean, I know I just lived it, but it’ll be more awesome to see it in a book.” said Diamond with a smile. “Same.” said Rainbow. After a few seconds, they heard a knock at the door. “I’ll get it!” said Amethyst from downstairs. Amethyst then opens the door and it was the mail pony. “Oh, hi there.” said Amethyst. “Can I help you?” “Package from AK. Yearling.” said the Mail Pony as she gave the package to Amethyst. “Oh, thank you.” said Amethyst as she gave her the carrot. The mail pony then eats it as she leaves. Amethyst closes the door and goes upstairs to Diamond’s room. “Oh, Rainbow, when did you get here?” Amethyst asked. “Just a few minutes ago.” said Rainbow with a grin. “So what’s up, Amy?” Diamond asked. “You got a package from AK Yearling.” said Amethyst as she shows her the package. Diamond then picks it up with her magic and brought it to her to open it. As soon as she opened it, she looks at the new book’s cover. “Wow.” Rainbow and Diamond said at the same time. Rainbow then noticed the note on the back of the book. “Um, Diamond?” said Rainbow as she points at the note. Diamond then looks at the back of the book, and opens the note to look at it, as it said. ‘Dear Diamond-Chi, I’m really happy that we met for the first time, and I’m happy to be your girlfriend. I just wanted to say, thank you for coming back for me, I would have never succeeded in getting the crown, if it weren’t for your help, and thank you for sharing your true feelings about me, cause if I had to be honest, your like a melody in my life, your smart, cute, and I don’t think I would want anypony in my life, besides you. Unlike you, nopony have I ever met understood on what I went through besides you. I feel like you complete me, and I hope you did feel the same way. And if Caballeron and his henchponies and/or Ahuizotl tries to go after the artifacts, let me know. Thank you, for everything. Your author/girlfriend, AK Yearling' Diamond smiled from the words in her note, and held it close to her chest, where her heart is beating. “You alright, Diamond?” Rainbow asked with a grin. “I think this is a new beginning… of a new adventure… for the both of us.” said Diamond as she looks at the new book. Amethyst goes up to Diamond and Rainbow as they all got into a group hug. The scene switches to the new Daring Do book that was one week before it was officially published.
