Daring Do and the Eastern Star

Alt Ending

Doctor Tick and Professor Doo stood before the Dean. “Well, Doctor, it would seem you’ve lost the bet.” Starswirl said, looking up from examining the topaz, “My examination concludes that this, indeed, matches the magical signature of the Eastern Star.”
Doctor Tick stamped his hoof angrily as Daring pumped her hooves in the air.
“I’d like to, once again, thank Daring Doo for donating this artifact to the new wing of our museum, named in honor of our poor lost pupil.” Dean Starswirl continued, “The Squab Wing will help us to remember not only Turtledove, by every pony lost in the pursuit of truth and knowledge.”
The two professors nodded solemnly.
“You are both dismissed.”
As they left, Daring took Thorny into a half, insincere, embrace. “So, Doctor, I was thinking, for my next trip, that the book mention the Topaz is one in a set of four.”

This was good, but it moved way too quickly, particularly inside the temple and especially at the climax with the tour guide. Don't be afraid to expand on your ideas, you're not going to run out of words. Other than that, I enjoyed your story very much; yet I can't help but wonder just how many more Daring Do stories are going to pop up over the next week. This has to be like the fourteenth one I've seen today!
