Prologue
Prologue
Ah, the Daring Do series. Fans have called it the group of novels pioneering the very genre of adventure fiction in Equestria. Mysteriously authored by an individual under the pseudonym of Phoenix Wrighter, Daring Do's enterprises went on by the dozens. Thousands of avid readers constantly awaited in great anticipation for the the next installment of the story set to be released.
However, one particular fan craved the thrill of Daring Do's undertakings to the point of unadulterated obsession. This pegasus had read each book of the Daring Do chain six times, and was now working on the seventh go. Her love for the suspense apparent in the adventurer's many exploits proved overwhelming. Yet she continued on as a zealous admirer. To the addict, there was no other heroine that plucked her heartstrings like Daring Do. And who was this vehement devotee?
Why, it was Rainbow Dash, of course.
The cyan Pegasus with the mane of polychromatic colors was a case of irony. Before discovering Daring Do, Rainbow Dash had been of the mindset that reading was for 'eggheads'. To the mare's chagrin, she had once been persistent in avoiding books at all instances. What a mistake that was, she finally concluded. For the sound of a flipped page or the nostalgic touch of a hardcover's spine were absent in the days as a filly. Though, now, at an age ripe with energy and youth, Rainbow Dash put forth total investment in snagging the next edition of the popular novel line. And after a few straight reads and analytical critiques, she always found herself seeking more. These were the best stories ever told in the history of Equestria, Rainbow Dash believed. Anypony was crazy to think otherwise.
Therefore it wasn't surprising when Rainbow Dash would immediately shoot open the cover of an installment she's not read in the past, becoming entranced by the words of each page.
On an uneventful morning, the Pegasus entered the Golden Oaks Library to ask her close friend, Twilight Sparkle, for assistance in finding another book with similar features to Daring Do. Opening the candlestick emblem door, the rainbow-maned mare was greeted with only spacial emptiness. Twilight Sparkle must have been out, she figured. Rainbow Dash then sauntered her way to the 'D' section located adjacent to the alphabetical shelves of the Library. She wanted to catch another look at the wondrous center of her passion, and you can be positive she was very glad to have done so. Because the moment she stepped up to the row of volumes, her body shivered in pure ecstasy.
There was a Daring Do she had never before noticed wedged deep into the far left edge of the bank. Its spine was painfully conspicuous from its bright green facing. On the side wrote 'Daring Do and the Mystery of the Emerald Eyed Dragon'. She couldn't believe her luck. Why had she not known of this particular installment? Was it a new release? Impossible, the compulsive fan contemplated. She was sure to have been the first one at the book store to purchase it.
Rainbow Dash pulled out the book and had scanned the cover while beaming madly. An illustration of her favorite explorer swinging on the vines of a jungle tree met the pegasus's deep stare. And in the background the glow of two ominous, emerald ovals partially concealed in shadows presented a darkening aura. The book had already sucked her in. She just couldn't stand by any longer. It was now a matter of life and death. There was only a desperate need to pop open the novel right then and there, inevitably diving into another grand quest of danger and spontaneity.
Flopping onto the nearby sofa for reading comfort, Rainbow Dash squealed giddily as she turned over the front cover.
"Daring Do and the Mystery of the Emerald Eyed Dragon." Rainbow Dash read aloud slowly. "Wow. This is going to be so awesome!"
And the story began.
Spike's Daring Do
Spike the baby dragon was blinded as he groggily pulled open his heavy eyelids. Something extremely blaring stung his irises, and as he swung his aching arms over his face the soft cry of cicadas could be heard at a distance. Spike coughed hoarsely after seconds of groaning on the cold, hard ground he lied upon.
He realized he was sweating profusely under the rays of the scorching sun. The dragon's scales glistened exquisitely in the light. His head felt like it was going to explode from heatstroke. A sudden migraine overtook him as he cringed in stress.
Why was it so hot? It was absolutely steaming!
Spike came upon difficulty while attempting to pace a steady breathing pattern. His lungs expanded broadly to inhale more oxygen that seemed to be lacking in the overbearing humidity of the air.
Why was it so humid? He could barely breathe!
Digging his claws into the soil beneath, Spike gradually brought his body to a wobbling standing position. Still dazed, Spike was unable to register his surroundings. Hues of green and orange danced about as he calmly focused his attention to his front.
A field of large, slouched palms lied before the dragon. A jarringly purple firmament enveloped a sea of exotic animals and insects inhabiting the natural lands. The reddish dirt under his feet spread endlessly. The sheer exoticness of the entire stage proved enormously disorienting to the young Ponyvillian.
His vision finally stabilizing, Spike gasped. "W-where am I?"
"You're in the southern jungles of Marelaysia, creature." A bolden voice projected from Spike's rear.
Spike whipped his head back to only trip over in exasperation. Resting lazily on a slumped palm was a pony he was familiar with. Only, he wasn't. Because he knew that whoever the greyscale-maned, vested Pegasus resembled, there was no possibility of she ever being one and the same.
She couldn't be the fictional protagonist of those famed pieces of literature...right?
"What are you, anyway?" The sandy brown pegasus peeked from under her pith helmet. "And what are you doing sleeping in a place like this?"
Spike then noticed the mare's cutie mark. The distinct image of a compass rose was sported on the side of her flank. At that, Spike reeled in utter astonishment.
Was it true? Was it really her? Was it...?
"Daring Do?" Spike muttered, his eyes widening.
The Pegasus produced a gentle smirk. "The one and only."

This is just something I randomly wrote on my cellular device. Spike's Rainbow Dash is first priority, of course. Oh, and, yes, Spike's Rainbow Dash narrator's goofy cousin is narrating Spike's Daring Do.

This is very well written, please write more. I can't wait for RD's reaction when it's Spike in the book and not her!
Five mustaches for you.
Oh yay another story, the concept is similar to that of Spike's Rainbow Dash in the sense Daring and RD are mirror images...
This could be very interesting 
He** yes. Tracking.

1180911
That's the way it goes. :)
You had me interested at 'Daring Do'.
MORE CHAPTERS!

MOAR! MOAR! MOAR!
I'm reading this as Spike having written a self-insert fanfic that Rainbow happened to discover.
Literally just looked at it and said"meh". seen the author thought of previous fanfic tried this one now. afterwards said"more. more!
MORE!
MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
How long do you think it will be before Rainbow Dash notices the similarties in the book and finds out what happened to Spike?
YES! FOLLOWING!
The amount of likes I've recieved for this insert is surprising. Thanks, fellow Bronies! Your support brings a smile to my face!
joy.
aww yah!
This is going to be good!
Hold up, Malla, slow your roll....a Spike and Daring Doo fic...maybe? Really? Shit.....you can count me IN! Love how Rainbow does not even know about Spike being trapped in a story, and how did he get trapped in it as well?
At first I thought this was a fanfic of a fanfic of Spike's Rainbow Dash, only to be surprised that you're the same person, it's no wonder this got featured so quickly while it's only a prologue. Wow another Daring Do story that I'm going to enjoy, now if only the Daring Do fanfic that I've been reading gets featured as well, then my day will be made. :)
Aren't you on a roll? Keep em coming, as long as you don't burn yourself out. Don't want that happening.
This, will be awesome and hilarious, much like it's inspiration. The real question is... How will Spike make sure a relationship with a character bound to a book hold when he finds his way back to Ponyville? Or how Dash will respond, jealousy? Acceptance? Will Spike have to pick between two mares?
1181472 'Cause of that green pony behind Dash?
So I go into my 'read laters', and click on Spike's Rainbow Dash, looking for another update as I do every night. I don't see one. "Dang," I say to myself. "Oh well, he's bound to have one out soon." But As I'm about to close out of FIMfiction, something at the top of the page catches my eye. "Could it be? It is! Another Mallajong story!!" (insert angel choir singing high pitched note here.)
= = = = =
Your skills never fail to impress my good sir. May I offer a celebratory brohoof?

Spike will find out himself as to how he ended up in story. Thanks for your comment, my friend. I laughed aloud.
1184053
No worries, fellow reader. There are no plans in my log to burn out. More like burn with a passion for writing and entertaining!
1183900
Did the story get featured? Oh, wow. Thanks for the comment. A fanfic of my fanfic would be pretty awesome, though. Hahaha.
1184348
I am contemplating on a Spike x Daring Do ship fanfiction. Rainbow Dash entering the fray? Hmmmm....
1184469
A new chapter of Spike's Rainbow Dash is coming soon, my friend. VERY SOON. Thank you for the comment. I laughed pretty hard at the choir singing bit. Haha. :) And a "brohoof" back to you, sir.
1184646 True that and glad I was able to give you a well deserved sense of humor for a second
1180871 *Slaps you across the face with a fish* NO SHIPPING FOR YOU!
>1184646 Marelaysia ?
OH MY GOD THAT"S MY COUNTRY !!!
1184466 No, that's what makes me laugh...

I've been to Malaysia! The peoples there are so nice and helpful. A very beautiful and wonderful place to stop in. I stopped by on my way to Singapore from Thailand. I had actually lost my passport in Malaysia for a day, but I ended up finding it again at a random cafeteria in the middle of the country! Haha! Lucky Garden Cafe, I believe it was called. :)
Now Spike, remember: you're in a story now, and you know you're in a story. Remember that there is a fourth wall. Whether or not you choose to obey it is your choice. Also, remember to mention something to Pinkie. She's got good relations with the guys up top; they'll make sure you get outta there in due time. So long as the plot calls for it, of course.
I like it a few questions dragons are reptilian they can't sweat plus Plus wasn't it shown that that lava won't burn him?
1185133
You are so right! Haha! I'll just say "Spike's found himself in an entirely different reality where the laws of Equestria no longer affect him." Yup, that's my way out. I will have to address it later. Thanks for the comment.
Hey, I didn't see Daring Doo as a tagged character. Is Spike gonna encounter her along his adventures inside the novel
1185943
I do not believe there is a Daring Do tag.
well this is going to be interring
i love to see where this is going this is one thing i need to ask
Dose Twilight know that Spike is in a book?
1185949
Yes there is. Right between Fancypants and Flim and Flam on the character search.
Honestly, if there's a tag for Rumble of all ponies, there has to be one for DD.
And please, don't let this story fall by the wayside. Stories with unique plots always suffer the most when they aren't finished.
Just spotting the premise was enough for me to give this story a read.
And of course, it doesn't disappoint. The descriptions of these different scenes is just wonderful, as well as the choice of words.
Obviously there are many questions that are to be answered in the rest of the fiction. And I'll be looking forward it.
Thumbs up!
1185949 Just needed to confirm it, that's all
