> Daring Do and the. > by ConsciousHaze196 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Coasting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daring Do was flowing through the data. Her eyes were closed. She was silently talking with something near her that knew it was something. Floating point numbers were around her in numbers, moving in all directions, and they created the feeling of blowing wind. A sudden sound of multiple alarm clocks exploding made her wake up and see that sudden inward movement of her wings changed her direction. Data around her was flying in big circles, orbiting a burst of dark blue gas that was in the center. While she was revolving around the gas, she had felt the stream of data around her gradually turning into a whirlpool of cream under the starry sky that erupted from the gas, striking the portion of data that tried to gain its place in the solution, and the current of cream was so fast that it made her wings sink, but then she suddenly was on the other side when the surface pushed her like a spring, then cracked behind her, dissolved in the night air and became a thin layer of clouds, which rose higher to avoid the beam of light coming from a high stone tower. Daring's wings were now working, and she approached the tower that was pulling her, and saw a red pegasus mare inside the structure, who was surprised to see her, and made a gesture inviting Daring to go inside through the big overview window. Resisting the desire to explore the ocean and mountains around, which deviously tried to make her rebel and return using the imagery, she sat near the pony. "I was given a special task to look for you, to give you this flashlight" - the pony whispered into her ear, smiling. Daring picked it with her hoof and wanted to say something, but the hole with the ledge stairs leading to the bottom of the tower began sucking her in with a loud hiss, inhaling the sound she made. Falling free through now infinitely long hole, she noticed bubbles going in the other direction, hitting her face. Eventually, and fortunately, gravity of the abyss started fading out. But the column of water rising from the hole enveloped her, and she went backwards with a stream of bubbles. She tried to steer using her fins, but it was getting yet faster, going through the sky with enormous green, purple and blue debris spirals piercing the flow, multiplying her fear as they almost collided with her. Then it slowed down, and she could see the sky from the edge of stream, see it flapping its wings. The flying sky was unnerving her, and she jumped from the current with the water bubble for some reason tied to her tail, hitting the sky with a big marble hammer. The hammer broke, and a blossom appeared on the sky's forehead, which opened to reveal a horn. Daring was furious, but the sky was happy now and flew away, leaving Daring in space with pieces of pop corn shining from every direction. She was hungry, and she tried to reach one, and something blue appeared and helped her touch it, only for it to disappear. She turned her head and noted that she's floating in space in holes of mass of blue cheese-like matter, with tubes of shiny red gas plugged into it. Yellow pairs of eyes were looking at her from the distance. Then she was hit by a blood cell, and that hurt. She was lying on cheese, and was only able to look at the fuzzy shapes coming closer, she recognized them as a flock of strangelings. Trying to find a way to escape, she looked if anything was present in her pockets, and found nothing. She threw nothing far away, and her enemies followed it instead. She stood up, when the pain slightly faded, and began finding her way through cheese. She found a door with shining purple frame across a big gap. But she couldn't reach it with her aching wing. When she tried to use another way, a big piece of cheese under her broke, and she fell again. This time, she landed unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in a desert of brown and light yellow colored clay. Dark purple, infinitely long tree branches were hanging above, and the sky was dark purple, with moon somewhat lightening it. She noticed a really sad big white horse wearing galoshes was looking at her. "Can you help me?" - Daring asked. A door opened on the side of the horse, and a ladder dropped from the opening. Daring Do went inside the small lit area, where a red pony from before was sitting, reading a book, a small lightbulb was hanging over it. "Hello again", - she said with somewhat sad tone. "How's life?" - Daring asked. "Just travelling" - the pony responded, "I like this kind of places. And don't worry, we'll soon be at the camp, they have a doctor". The pony gave her a hoof. Then they spent about half hour there doing different things, thinking, reading, talking. Until red light suddenly appeared with a loud siren, and they were catapulted away from the horse. Looking down from the air, Daring saw a huge purple eye looking at her from among the desert. Trying to avoid the eye, Daring flapped her wings, but failed to change direction. The eye closed for a moment. When it opened again, there was no eye but a shaft with a marshmallow at the bottom. Daring was fearing she can't endure the fall. Then the marshmallow turned into soft bubbles, but when she passed through a layer of bubbles, the real marshmallow was below. It was in the center of a circular arena, where a white pegasus with pink eyes was sitting inside a worker's cart, above it was a rain cloud with a ribbon hanging from it. Three Ahuizotls were circling around the arena. Daring checked her pocket for things and gave the pony a hoof. The pony giggled and pulled the ribbon, which enabled the rain from the cloud. But when the cloud disappeared, the pony also disappeared, and Daring was alone. Ahuizotls noticed that, and each one sent an angry leopard towards her. Immediately, the floor beneath her fell, and passed three layers of sky of different colors. After that, the gravity vanished, and she spent two minutes in an unidentifiable substance. She closed her eyes. When she opened them, she was sitting. On void, in the void, that was very black. In fact, it was so black that she immediately reached for the pocket to use a flashlight device, which emitted a beam of lemon-colored rainbow that brought color back to every corner of that place, and she found out that she was just back at the tower. She looked at the pony who was sitting beside her, and that pony turned out to be herself. The way that pony was watching the scenery around the tower was so impressive that it made her do the same. They observed for a long time, until the moon winked and the tower turned into paper, and then wrapped both ponies and Daring's hat lying on the floor. When she regained consciousness, she was in a bright room, and Rainbow Dash was holding her hat, and then put a hoof into it and pulled another Daring Do from her hat. Then she turned her head towards her and spoke: "What happened? You three don't look so good."
