Thanks to a booby trap (or an enchanted book, depending on which side of the looking glass you're on), Daring Do finds herself propelled out of the literary world and right into Rainbow Dash's room. Quite an awesome turn of events for Dash, right? After all, she's getting to meet her favorite literary heroine in person! What's not to like?
Well, how about the fact that Scootaloo has been sucked into the book? And the fact that Daring Do's adventures are slowly and mysteriously being erased word by word? And that if something isn't done soon, both Scootaloo and Daring could disappear from all of existence?
Yeah, not as awesome as you pictured it, huh RD?
Anyways, it's now a race against time as the two unstoppable pegasi must find a way to get Daring back into the realm of the written word. In the meantime, Scootaloo has to play out Daring's latest adventure and find the treasure of the notorious sea pony pirate, Das Reingold. Sounds simple enough, right? What's the worst that could happen?
...
Please don't answer that. These fillies are in enough trouble as it is.
Loosely based on Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series.
It's so precious how Scootaloo looks up to RD as a big sister.

Poor indy
this is a great idea, I'm gonna see we're this goes

Found an awesome theme song delete that Indiana Jones one
[youtube=qTq_XdsQXYM]
2167778 What Indiana Jones one?
Anyway, yeah. That Daring Do theme is pretty slick. Nice find.
Thanks it was super hard (I had to look through like 2 songs)
Look at this amazing peice of animation

2168068 Um, yeah. I saw that already. It was pretty good (though not what I expected. And that's a good thing).
Now, if it's all the same to you, could you please keep your comments at least somewhat relevant to the story at hand?
Ok party pooper
This is Daring Do related
[youtube=uyi3hu2PIP4]
2168365 Actually, I based Daring Do's personality in this story on her portrayal in that particular audio series (it's part of the reason that this is considered a Comedy). So, that one is actually more relevant than you think.

yes just yes
Yo Dash, I'm Indiana Jones.
Cute Story hehe
2173484 Glad you like it.
Will we get to see Ahuizotl?
2177993 I haven't quite decided that yet.
I have some plans involving antagonists, and I'd have to see if he falls into those plans neatly. He might appear in one form or another; I'm just not sure what form it would be. I'd expound upon that further, but that'd be giving the game away. 
Daring seems to be taking the whole 'being fictional' thing rather well. Reminds me of Last Action Hero.
Sylvester Stallone as The Terminator. I'd watch the fuck outta that.
2178604 There's actually a reason for that, believe it or not. What is that reason? Well, you'll see.
Daring seems rather calm about the whole thing. Maybe the shock hasn't set in yet.
2179654 Like I said, there's a reason for that. Don't worry, you'll get to see what that reason is soon enough.
Still cute, MOAR!
Crimson baroness? The Red Baron?
I'm afraid I didn't get the references. What's with the Crimson Baroness and the name Sopwith Camel?
2183052
2183050 here got the reference. In the old Peanuts comic strips, Snoopy fantasized about being the World War I Flying Ace, flying in the Sopwith Camel (read: on top of his doghouse) and fighting the Red Baron, a notorious German pilot in World War I. So, yeah.
Oooh, this is gonna be good. Oh hey, and you wrote The Importance of a Wingpony too? You may have just gotten yourself a new follower.
If they want Scootaloo to stay safe surely they should just stop reading ahead.
How zen is that? Can a story still happen if nopony is there to read it?
I'm guessing that would be too simple a solution?
Can't wait for more.
2188415 Honestly, I don't think Rainbow Dash cares. You know how invested she was in Daring Do when she first read her series, and how she fretted over not being able to finish before she was checked out of the hospital? Yeah, that's pretty much how she feels right now, only instead of a fictional character's ability to escape from a dangerous situation, it's Scootaloo's well-being that she's worried about.
Besides that, you're right. The answer isn't that simple. Why? Well, you'll see. Still, that is some pretty deep zen thinking there.
I still find it a good read, I hate it when cute gems like this just don't get any attention and clop fics do... ><
Wow tailspin is really bad with kids
2193632 oh so terrible
2193632 Hey at least she hasn't fed her Ice cream before bed or let her play with matches... yet.
Poor Scoots, MOAR!
I opened a portal to Equestria just to get this TV Tropes page. I figure it might help.
2195708 Hmm. It might, it might.
I have some ideas of my own already, but it can never hurt to get some new inspiration. Thanks.
2196867 Mwahaha! Yet another innocent is trapped in the eternal purgatory of TV Tropes! Soon, all the universe shall cower before me!
2194219 or play with matches in a fireworks store
Did I ever say how awesome this story is yet?
There's calm under pressure then there's Daring Do.
I'm calm in an emergency but learning I'm being erased would be too much.
Awesome character. Awesome story.

As far as I've seen 'Genny' is the first ever Giraffe on this site, congratulations I don't think I'd ever have thought of that
This chapter was great
Im dying for the next chapter 
I request but one thing-
MOAR!
And good idea on using a giraffe within the work. I enjoy reading this and await for the next update!
GO DARING!
Was browsing through uploads at just gne 10,
when I was informed of an update, again.
An update of the 'Do Dilemma' was there,
and I thought to myself- this better be fair.
I opened it up, expectations of awe,
and my final conclusion was I WANTED MOAR!
The writing was spiffing; the Diolouge, grand,
This newest chapeter was nowhere near bland.
I applaud you good sir, this chapters a smash;
and I award you Spike, with a dashing mustache.
typical adventurer logic; need something finding out, don't go to a library, go to the nearest ancient ruin.
Oh my! This is gettin' better!
Keep it up!
Also, first? Y'know what, meh, there are better achievements than being the first person to comment on a story.
