She’s perfect!” Dash said, holding out the plush Daring Do for Applejack to see. She came to find AJ in the orchard just as soon as she got the toy. “She’s even got poseable wings!” Applejack examined the toy. It was a very good likeness of the imaginary adventurer, with a shirt and hat, and embroidered cutie mark. “I didn’t even know they made Darin’ Do dolls-” “She’s not a doll!” Dash protested. “She’s a plush sculpture.” “A. . . plush sculpture?” Applejack raised an eyebrow. “What’s that mean?” “It means that she’s awesomely detailed, with poseable wings and forelegs, and she’ll look really cool on my shelf. Dolls are for playing with, AJ. This is art.” Dash explained haughtily. “That’s art, huh?” Applejack smirked. “Yeah. Really awesome art.” “And you’re not gonna play with her one bit?” “Pfft. Me? Play with dolls? Do you know who you’re talking to?” “Can I see her?” Applejack reached out a hoof, and Dash hesitantly handed over the toy. “La la la, I’m Darin’ Do.” Applejack said, bouncing the toy up and down until Dash snatched it from her hoof. “She does not talk like that! She talks like this: ‘I’m Daring Do, the awesomest adventurer in the world!’” Dash said, expertly moving the toy so it seemed to toss its mane and flare its wings proudly. Applejack just smirked. “Oh, is that how ya’ play with it?” Dash blushed. “Uh. . . that’s- that’s how I would play with it, if I played with dolls. Which I don’t!” “I know, sugarcube.” Applejack said as she nuzzled the blushing pegasus. “I know just who I’m talkin’ to.”
