//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Equestria girls: One Daring Suprize // by FireworksPOP //------------------------------// Rainbow looked jealous, Twilight looked like she wanted more answers, and Rarity looked shocked. “You mean to tell me that my favorite book author / daredevil adventure has been your friend for years and you never told me?!” Rainbow shook Sunset very fast and hard, and she started to look very pale like she was sick or something. Twilight, seeing this, used her levitation to pull Dash away and Sunset collapsed back on the couch with Daring looking at her with a worried expression. “You okay Sunset?” “Yeah, I think i’m fine.” Something pink shot through the door with a cowgirl and an eco kid running behind her. “My Pinkie sense was right!” Pinkie pointed to Daring as Sunset and her chuckled nervously. Twilight told the other three the story and Pinkie let out a way over exaggerated gasp. Fluttershy’s eyes filled with tears. “So those poor kitties are all under his control for real?” Daring nodded and Fluttershy looked down at the ground. “Everything in those books are real?” “That’s correct, I did make a few tweaks here and there a few years ago when Sunset joined me.” Rainbow’s mouth dropped. “Sunset is Ms. Sunshine?!” “Yeah…” “And she reads all the books for you before they're published?!” “Yep.” “No wonder she’s never surprised when I tell her about the books!” “Mhm.” “And you guys grew up together?!” “Yes.” “And Caballeron’s dad killed your parents?!” Daring’s cheeks blushed a light shade of pink at the mention of Dr. Caballeron. “Don’t tell me you actually have a crush on him!” “Well, I have, for the past eight years.” Sunset shook her head. “Yep, she has.” Rainbow’s eyes were wide open. The guy who was a hated character and always gave Daring Do a hard time was her crush? “I-I-and Anon-a-Miss?” “I had just finished my job in the rain forest and stayed here for a few weeks with her, and I’m not a fan of what you had said to her the night she came back crying.” Daring crossed her arms. Applejack looked over at Rainbow. “Why she glarin’ at you? We all disowned Sunset.” “I may have said a few things when you guys weren't around.” “Like what?” Applejack glared at her as Twilight backed out of the room, knowing the two would start to fight. “I may have said that I never trusted her, and that I hated her, and then I may have, punched her.” The Rainboom’s, all but Twilight and Sunset starred at her. Sunset looked over at them. “On the right side that’s how me and Flash got back together.” Daring let out a slight laugh. “Sorry, I just remembered what you told me about what you two discussed a few days ago.” “Abby! Don’t tell!” “I won’t I won’t.” She looked at the rest of the girls. “But you can’t tell anyone about this, got it?” Rainbow, eager to do anything for Daring Do, nodded her head fast. “I won’t tell a sole.” Applejack looked back at Rainbow. “But I wan’t a detailed story later of exactly what happened during Anon-a-Miss.” “Okay, fine, wait, does Flash know you and the Daring Do are technically sisters?” Sunset nodded. “Ever since we got back together actually, that day he came to my house to check on me.” she went back into thought. “Okay, know I see why what we were talking about a few day’s ago seems funny to you Dare.” Truth be told, they had been talking about names for what they wanted to start in the future. “Hey Dare, how is grandma by the way?” “She’s fine, I went to visit her at the senior center a few weeks ago, of course I had on my disguise, strange as it is, I saw a lot of the people in there reading my books, I tell ya if Sunset hadn’t read over my last one my writing career would be over.” “In your defense, you were really tired when you wrote that one, lucky you have that camera on that hat of yours or we couldn’t have fixed it.” Sunset picked up the gray hat her sister had been wearing and separated it from a pith helmet that was underneath it. “Man this thing has taken a lot of arrows since we were kids.” “Is that why Daring Do never leaves her hat behind in the books?” Twilight stepped back into the room. “Yeah, I made a mini camera so she could re watch it and put some more detail in there, when you’re running for your life it’s hard to memorize things.” Sunset pointed to the band on the hat which had a very small hidden camera on it. “How the heck did you build that?” Twilight took the hat and looked at the tiny camera. “She’s a very talented person, have you seen her art? I especially love seeing the stuff she does around town.” “Dare!” Sunset crossed her arms. “Ooops, hehe, I guess we both blew a few secrets today.” “Your Flanksy?” Twilight put the hat down and looked over at Sunset. “Store owners practically dream of the day some of your art would be on the side of there buildings and stores! Why don’t you take the credit for it?” “Me and Daring were never much for the fame and stuff. And I swear what I will do to the guy that gave me that nickname.” “I get enough when I have to do book signings, I swear that one guy just wouldn’t stop talking!” She shook her head. “I just wan’t to show others that they can put there minds to anything and do it, there are a lot of life lessons in my books if you pay close attention, heck, Sunset made a list!” “Yep. I had to use a scroll from Equestria that list was so long.” Both of the laughed. “Wow...” Everyone looked around and all of them had smiles on there faces. Daring Do was their secret, but also a new friend.
