It was a sunny day, and spring time was in bloom. A girl with rose petal eyes and grey-black hair walked down the sidewalk in front of Canterlot High with a pith helmet on her head that was twice her size. 

Daring stopped in front of a statue, staring up at the Canterlot High school mascot, a free spirited horse. For some strange reason, it began to glow, brighter, and brighter, and she stepped back with wide eyes.

Something flew out of the statue’s base and fell into her. She yelped as they both hit the ground. A young girl about her age sat up and looked around, then moved her hands to inspect them and looked down at her shoes. “Whow.”

Daring stood up and reached her hand out to help the girl up. She took her hand and stood on her feet but wobbled a little bit before she caught her balance. “Thank you.”

“I want to know two things, one what’s your name, and two, how the heck did you just come flying through the statue?!”
“My name is Sunset Shimmer.” and she told her everything, about Equestria, Celestia, and everything else.

“Wow…” Daring smiled at her. “Want to be friends? You seem like you need one.”

“Umm, sure!” Sunset smiled and her cyan eyes sparkled with excitement. “It sounds like fun, by the way, what’s your name?”

“Daring Do, pleasure to meet you Sunset.”

“The pleasure is all mine.” They both broke into laughter and walked away from the statue.

“You want to come to my house? My grandmother would be happy to have you over, just don’t mention anything about my parent’s or our house will turn into a swimming pool.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened to them?”

“They were murdered! I know for a fact it was that kid Caballeron’s dad! No one believes me though!”

“I’m sorry, but how do you know it was him?”

“I saw him as he stole my mom’s diamond that she was keeping for the museum and he tied me up while he killed them! Then he looked at me and I saw his cold, dead eyes.”

“That’s awful!”

“I know right! No one believes it was him, even my grandma!”

“I believe you.” Sunset smiled at her new friend.

“Thanks, and could you tell me more about this Equestria place at lunch? It sounds cool.”

“Sure, it’s nice to have a friend in this world.”
____________________

Over the next few months, Sunset and Daring became very close friends and were like sisters to each other. Sunset lived with Daring and her grandmother who became her legal guardian. The two stayed together all day, and didn’t go to school but did home school because Mrs. Do was afraid if they were out of her sight for more than a few hours she would lose them to.

After home school, they would play outside with each other, having the best time. They went on adventures and played games together. Everything was perfect, and when they left, they always got in contact with each other and visited all the time. Ahuizotl was always after something, and after each adventure, Daring wrote a book about it and Sunset would proofread it, but when they found out magic had slipped through the portal with Sunset and there were Equestrian relics around hidden and Daring had to stop them, they decided to put a fake name in for Daring, Abby Kindheart, or as everyone knew her as, A. K. Yearling.
