A Cynical Pony

Wednesday 04 August 1999 22:23, Lawndale USA, Daria Morgendorffer's POV

---

Several beams from a bush lit up and then shut back off.

"Did we just see a UFO?" my friend, Jane Lane, asked me.

"You're getting paranoid," I replied, pushing my glasses back up to my face, "It's probably just an informal get-together of local stalkers. You know, hang out, swap stories, try out each other's skeleton keys."

"But only an idiot would go stalking with a flashlight."

"Come on. This is Lawndale."

"Oh yeah."

We each took another step as the beams of light from the bush returned and started moving.

"Oh God," I said, taking a step back with Jane.

The bush started strobing, so we started running further down the sidewalk.

"Dammit, what's going on here?"

I tripped on my boot and fell, but Jane couldn't get back to me in time. I noticed a flash of light before I was sent somewhere else.

"DARIA!!"

That was it.

Same time and date, Morgendorffer Residence, Helen Morgendorffer's POV

"No coffee? At a time like this!? Our daughter's an ATOMIC COMMUNIST!!!!!"

"For the love of God, Jake! Can we move on from the coffee already? And Daria isn't a communist."

A bright flash of light shone for a moment, then everything went back to normal.

"What was that?"

"Daria's got nukes from Russia, Helen!"

"Oh God," I said, rolling my eyes.

Wow, I didn't expect to see this at Fimfic.

Good intro, wonder why she got dragooned.

I'm tracking this due to the sheer hilarity of Daria's life in Equestria.
