//------------------------------// // chapter 1: scootaloo // Story: Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone // by ifiwaspinkiepie //------------------------------// June 19 1978, I can’t believe that I am going on an adventure with Daring Do! She is the best adventurer ever! Well my mom has to agree with Daring. Then we can go. We are going (if possible), to find the legendary sapphire stone in some island called…. Well, I forget but anyway we are going to take flight in 2 more hours! I’m so excited! Yours truly, Scootaloo. *** “Hey, look at you, all dressed up.” Said Pinkie Pie. Me and Daring are leaving to the island in and I’m saying goodbye to Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I wanted to say goodbye to Rainbow too, but she was busy getting an autograph from Daring Do. “Ohmygosh ohmygosh OHMYGOSH!” Rainbow Dash gasped. “Okay… never mind her.” Said Sweetie Belle. “Thanks. Rainbow dash really likes Daring more than I thought.” I replied. Actually Rainbow Dash would read books than play in sports. Nearby we heard rainbow say, “I. am. Your. Number. One. Fan.” Now that’s the last thing we were expecting to come out of her mouth ONLY if she’s talking to the Wonder Bolts but that’s it. “I better get going. Daring is waiting, so if I don’t make it back, take this and I always will be with you.” I gave Applebloom and Sweetie Belle a heart locket and waved them goodbye. As I got on Daring Do’s back, everyone waved goodbye. “Goodbye everyone!” said daring as we left the academy. As soon as we got in the air, I saw Applebloom and Sweetie Belle open their lockets. Their faces changed into a huge smile and they waved goodbye. We flew higher and higher until everybody looked liked tiny little para-sprites, good para-sprites. We flew up into the bright sky and flew away. Earlier that day “Okay cutie mark crusaders, what ARE we going to do to get our cutie marks?” Sweetie Belle had said. “Well,” started Applebloom “I heard there is a raffle to see whose goin’ to go with Daring Do to find the legendary sapphire stone. Maybe an adventure cutie mark ain’t so bad.” Actually, that’s a good idea! “OK then! Let’s go and get those raffle tickets!” I replied. 10 minutes later “Eight pence for 3 raffle tickets! And boy the raffle seller was grumpy!” Sweetie Belle squeaked. “It doesn’t really matter; at least we got our raffle tickets.” I reminded her. We walked into our tree house and listened to the radio. We waited and waited for the radio stallion to say the winning number. “Ugh! I’m soooooooooooo bored.” Whined sweetie belle. She did her scoot. While she was doing that, I took a peek at her number. 156900. Well, at least it doesn’t have a 7, one of the unlucky numbers. She could win… I thought. My number was the one that was unlucky: 137731. I took a peek over Applebloom’s shoulder. 134900. That’s a so-so number. Well I know that I’m not going to-“Sweetie Belle! Stop scootin’ or your butts gonna go on fire!”Applebloom yelled. 20 minutes later “I’m so bored!” that was the 100th time Sweetie Belle had said that. But we couldn’t hear that because me and Applebloom were snoring louder than a mule. “And today’s winner to go with Daring Do’s adventure for the sapphire stone is……..” this is it. We all stopped what we were doing and moved closer to the radio. “The number is……..137731! And that’s it folks! Stay tuned for the next adventure! Oh and can somebody get me a muffin?” now we knew who was talking in the radio…. “DERPY!” all of us yelled. ……. Present time….. “Wooooooooo hooooooo!” I screamed on Daring Do’s back as we were flying through the air, wind blowing in my mane. Actually daring was doing all the flying, I was on her back. It was soooooooo nice! Well, it was until we had to land. “Hang on!” said Daring Do. We flew down nicely but fast until we heard a crack! And just like that, we were falling from the sky.
