DAN VS.

Dan was walking around the Earth Side of the town, as suddenly a yellow pony with black mane overran him and continued running.

„Hey, would you mind being more careful!?" Dan shouted after her. „Hmmm, strange. This pony looks familiar... It looks kinda like..."

Just that moment he also got overran by Rainbow Dash, who apologized: „Oh, sorry Dan! Have to get going, need to follow Daring Do! Oh, and watch out..."

In that moment Dan once again got overran by an army of ancient monsters, who seemed to chase that Daring Do.

Rainbow continued: „Oh, uh, sorry. I don't want to seem rude, but I really need to go help... Oh no, I know that expression on your face..."

And Dan lifted his fist into the sky and shouted:

„DAAARIIING DOOOOO!"

DAN

VS.

Daring Do

Dan called Chris immediately, but everything he got was the mailbox: „This is Chris and Elise's mailbox. We are on a one-day holiday trip. Please leave a message after the signal. Oh, and if it's you, Dan, please hold back your shouting. It's not good for the phone. (Beep)"

„WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" Dan shouted into the phone anyway „HOW CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE LIKE THAT! AND DON'T TELL ME NOT TO SHOUT! YOU ARE SUCH A MISERABLE FRIEND! YOU ARE... Uh, hello? Oops, seems like I really broke their phone. Ah, whatever."

He turned to Rainbow Dash: „Rainbow Dash, you're going to help me take my revenge on Daring Do!"

„No." Rainbow answered „Do you even have the slightest clue of what a big fan I am? I will never let you hurt her!"

„Really?" Dan asked „Well, that's complicated, because I actually need to do what you say since the beating you and your friends gave me. Ah well, no problem I can't solve..."

---

A few moments later Rainbow Dash was trapped in a cage in Dan's secret basement. „Get me out of here!"

„Oh, I will..." Dan answered „After I got my revenge. Don't worry, Daring Do will be fine... probably..."

After Dan left the basement to enter the normal part of his flat, he started thinking about a plan: „So I am on my own this time... What could probably be something I could do against Daring Do? Oh, I know! She seems to get into a lot of adventures, so I could prepare a trap adventure!"

So Dan took paper and pencil and wrote down some ideas for his trap adventure...

---

1 hour later, everything was set, and as Daring Do came across Dan, he stopped her and shouted: „Help! Oh dear, help me! There is this, uh, thing in the Everfree Forest!"

„What the hay are you talking about?" Daring Do asked.

Dan continued: „Well, I, uh, walked into the Everfree Forest, and then I saw a golden tree!"

Daring Do gasped: „What? Can it be? Oh my gosh, the legendary golden tree I've been searching for my whole life! Where did you find it?"

„The golden tree exists? Uh, I mean, follow me, and I will show you" Dan said „But I need to warn you: This place is full of terrible monsters and deadly traps! I barely escaped!"

„Phh!" Daring Do responded „Monsters? Traps? These are my specializations! Just show me, I can handle it!"

„Perfect!" Dan said with an evil grin.

---

Dan brought Daring Do into the deepest and darkest part of the Everfree Forest and suddenly stopped. „Well, the golden tree should be somewhere here WATCH OUT!"

Dan escaped into the bushes, as his prepared arrows fired into Daring Do's direction.

Daring Do was able to dodge them all, as suddenly spikes came out of the ground and Daring Do managed to jump onto a tree.

Then she saw the golden tree a few metres away and walked there after the spikes vanished. But suddenly the golden tree came to life and shouted: „Stay back, adventurer! You may not defeat and take me!"

Daring Do jumped a few steps back and fell into a hole that was covered with leaves. Now she was trapped down there... or was she? „Wait a minute... Is this a fake adventure? I mean, seriously, a hole covered with leaves, how boring is that? How did I even fall for that?"

Daring Do used a grappling gun to get out of the hole and captured the golden tree with a lasso to find out that it was just Dan in a costume!

„You!" she shouted.

Dan smiled awkwardly: „Uh, hehe, I assume you are not interested in me making it all up?"

„Depends." Daring Do answered „What did you have in mind?"

Suddenly a shadow creature appeared out of nowhere and tried to attack Daring Do, but she was faster and kicked its butt... far, far away.

She looked at Dan angrily.

„What?" Dan asked „That thing wasn't part of my plan! I really don't know who it was!"

Daring Do was surprised: „Oh. In that case: Daring Do and the mystery of the shadow creatures! Go!"

„Wait!" Dan shouted „About my deal: What I wanted to say was that I could help you on this adventure to make it up to you..."

„No." Daring Do answered „Daring Do always works alone!" And with that she left to go after this new mystery.

„Dang" Dan said to himself „So far to my plan to manipulate her on that adventure. Well, I guess in this case my Dan-Revenge-Rules apply: If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't join them, BURN THEIR HOUSE DOWN!"

---

So 2 days later, as Daring Do finished her shadow creature adventure, she went back home just to find it burned to the ground!

„My house!" Daring Do shouted „How did it burn down?"

Then suddenly her face switched from shock to deep anger as she realized: „Dan! This isn't over yet! You will pay for this when you least expect it! I promise!"

---

In the meanwhile Dan was at home, releasing Rainbow Dash, who asked: „What did you do to her!? I promise, if you killed her, you are going to join her!"

„Calm down" Dan said „She's fine, like I said. Now go."

So Rainbow Dash left to look for her hero while Dan sat down on his couch to finally watch TV in peace.
