//------------------------------// // Not so Daring... Yet // Story: Why am I here? // by MythWriter //------------------------------// ================ Chapter 1 "Not so Daring.... Yet" ================ ' You have got to be kidding me.. ' I thought as my eyes twitched slightly as I gazed on the little girl—filly, still did not get use to using these words and me being one myself...— who fidgeted from my intense stare and shifted nervously. Her mane was in many shades of grey wether it be dark of light, she had a brownish coat and familiar magenta eyes that resembled another certain pegasus, her name? Daring Do. Daring. Bucking. Do. She was one of the many characters of the show her roomie was a fan of, he made some fanfictions on how Daring and Dash were long lost twin sisters or Daring was Dash's mother and all that. I had been forced to listen to his rants and fanboying about these two characters as they were his favorite of the show and practically let out a girly squeal when they casted the episode *Daring Don't*. Back to the point. The filly version of Daring Do was standing before me, but was not acting like the Daring she watched on the show, in fact she acted like Fluttershy, she was shifting around nervously and avoiding eye contact, she hid behind her short mane and velvet glasses (the ones she wore during Daring Don't) with a shy blush. Her voice snapped her put of her observation. "I-I um... Thanks f-for driving t-those bu-bullies away..." She whispered, god she sounded much like Fluttershy when she was extra shy "Um... No problem?" I questioned slightly as I remembered what happened yesterday ~FlashBack~ I was walking down the road heading towards the orphanage that I now lived in, after I recovered from my injuries the staff tried to find 'my family' but unfortunately found nothing at all making me wonder to what happened to this filly's family before I took over, when I said ' my name ' they were overjoyed to known I could actually speak and was not mute or something like that. Anyway, since they couldn't find Vixen's family they sent me to the orphanage, which was actually kinda nice as the caretakers were kind. During the weeks I soent most of my time reading and going to the library, the foals of the orphanage thought me to be a wierd mute stupid filly that didn't know any better, of course I ignored them as I did to the people of my old world. I searched for clues or ideas on how to get me back to my world but I didn't want to bring any attention to myself. I do not want to meet Celestia or any of the Mane 6, I might slip and cuase a paradox or be sent to the asylum for being crazy or something, while some people in this situation when they get sucked into a show they know they try to change it all I am different, I try to avoid things. This is all so, sorry Nara's from Naruto, troublesome... Anyway continuing on my walk, I came to stop as I saw a five of foals surrounding a filly. They blocked my sight of the filly so I didn't know who it was, but I knew two from the group, Sour Stone and Tin Foil, again the show's names for these characters are RIDICULOUS, Sour Stone was a filly that had olive green hair—mane still not getting used to this— and light green coat and pale yellow eyes while Tin Foil a colt that was skinny and tall, his mane was colored black as his coat was a grey between light or dark depending on the lighting and his eyes were colored stone grey, both were known for their bullying at the orphanage and were often in trouble many times after I moved in, becuase the foals didn't have the courage to tell the caretakers I did, I didn't want them to bully others so in secret I was telling the caretakers (More like writing a note and putting it on their desks on what they did). I mentally added in my head to make a new note for the caretakers to read, I may not want to do anything with these ponies but I didn't like bullying as I had experienced before. "Hey!" I shouted and the group turned to me, Sour and Tin were confused then smirked. "Well well, if it isn't mute Vicky" I secretly cringe at that name, I didn't like that, it reminded me of Vicky from Fairly OddParents "Were you the one who said hey? I doubt it, you're a stupid mute filly who pretends to read but can't" Sour sneered at me. The other fillies smirked and laughed "So? Who said I'm mute?" I smirked at their gaping faces and stepped forward "I didn't say I was mute, the caretakers even said when they introduced me I wasn't mute I just didn't care for brats like you two" I grinned at their angered faces. "Well! You're still stupid ,so there!" Tin huffed with a smug smile while the others snickered. I wasn't phased, I heard worse "Oh really? Then if I'm stupid then you all are immature little brats that can't pay attention or even respect others" I started with a scary smile as I walked forwards making them back up "Brats like you should've become Nightmare Moon's pets! I'm sure she would've loved to play with all of you..." I paused before continuing with a vicious smile "Before she kills you" I spat making them squeak in fear. One brave colt said "I-I'll... I'll tell my Daddy on you!" Making the others nod in agreement thinking they won but stopped as I glared at them and smiled sweetly while talking venomously. Really? Then you are immature brats after all as you can see I have a witness to what you five did to the fillies and colts you've bullied, actually several witnesses" I gestured to the foals that gathered to see the commotion, most of these were the ones they had bullied in the past the others were the ones who watched but did nothing. They were all glaring at the group thinking of the past bullying they did to them making them gulp "F-Fine! But this isn't over!" Sour yelled before their group of bullies ran away. The foals cheered and went back to what they were doing, as for me I went to the filly they were bullying few moments ago, before freezing, there infront of me was a filly size blank-flanked Daring Do from the show, she was wearing the velvet glasses... I shook my head before nudging the filly up becuase they pushed her before they turned to me "You alright?" I questioned lightly making her stutter "I-I um.." I looked her over. "You're not hurt, good, well I should get going" I said after helping her stand up before walking away, I thought I heard a H-Hey wait! But shrugged becuase it was faint and thought it was of my imagination and continued on back to the orphanage never noticing the awed face of the future pony version of Indiana Jones. ~FlashBack~ "Oh but it is! T-They were bullying me f-for the past m-months becuase I-I didn't act l-like my n-name. Oh y-yeah, I'm Daring Do" she introduced and pushed her glasses becuase the slid of her muzzle slightly. "Vixen Sight..." I replied as I sat down on the bench, we were in the park, I patted the empty seat beside me and said "Sit down, you'll get tired standing up all the time" she flushed and sat down beside me sitting stiffly "Relax.. Anyway, what do you mean don't act like your name?" I questioned as she began to slowly relax. She looked down and said "Most ponies act like their names and or cutiemark for example, one of my caretakers name is Gentle Wind" huh so she was an orphan too, probably from another orphanage "her name and cutie mark are a gentle breeze of the wind, her personality is also quite gentle and kind, she treats all the orphans kindly and equally but she still scolds and punishes us if you do something were not to" she finished, I nodded while my mind wandered "So most ponies act upon their names or cutiemark, so that's why Sour Stones so sour..." I say in wonder making her snicker a bit, her snicker made be smile slightly. "They bully me becuase my names Daring Do... B-But I'm not very daring.." She said sadly, I paused before patting her shoulder making her look at me. "Forget them, theirs just jealous that they don't have a good name like yours. And don't act like that, peo—ponies change in a few years so who knows? You might become one of the most daring ponies around all of equestria and find ancient temples like an adventurer" I slightly messed up at the ponies part.. But I liked her daring personality more either the shy one she has right now, I'll just push her in the right direction, her eyes sparkled in wonder as I got of the bench and walked. "You think so?" she said in awe "I know so... I gotta go, it was fun talking to you Daring" I said as I walked away and looked over my shoulder "I might recommend on a few lessons on fighting or athletics to start" then after that I was on my way back to the orphanage leaving the filly to ponder on my words. ~Pov Switch: Author_ As Vixen walked away, Daring pondered and wondered before nodding in determination and looked at the way Vixen went and stood up with a determined face. =============== Chapter End ===============
