Prologue: I'm A.K. Yeawing
As the village's children, Indy and Willie share a moment together with a kiss, only to be interrupted by water sprayed on them by Short Round and his elephant. All was well, as this was just another of one of Indiana Jones' adventures. Sure, he didn't get the Sankara stone to be seen by everyone in the Marshall museum, but just knowing that this village is now in peace, the thugee won't be a problem anymore, and the children being free is a good thing.
"Now," Willie, the annoying Shanghai singer, spoke "Where's the plane out of here!"
"You're still on that subject?" Indiana asked in an annoyed voice.
"Of course! Do I need to remind you!? I'm a singer, not an adventurer! I have to get out of here before I become... a brute like you!"
"Fine, but this brute is the only way back home. We're going to Connecticut. If you want to part ways, be my guest."
"...FINE!!! Where's the nearest airport outta here?"
"Just follow me and we'll be there. Short Round, stick with me."
"Okie-Dokie Doctor Jones!" Short Round, the child, spoke. The three left the village, waving good-bye to the village and looking like heroes, heading towards an airports that, hopefully, the pilots won't jump out & leave them to die.
After a few hours of walking into a jungle, hearing the complaints from Willie as she was behind, a camp was made with a small fire going on. Each of them had their own tent up, with Indy's tent recognized by his shoulder bag, Short Round's with his baseball cap, and Willie's her dress.
"Are we there yet!?" Willie complained, yet again.
"We'll be there in the morning." Indy replied, playing cards with Short Round again. "No cheating this time, got it?"
"I never cheat!" The boy replied. Indy pulled out an apple from his coat pocket.
"We'll see about that. Play fairly & win, and you get this apple."
"...DEAL!!!" A rustling sound was heard in the bush, taking Indy's hat clean, followed by a silhouette of an animal running by Willie's legs. Willie, as she does, screamed at the top of her lungs, falling down and crawling away from the bush. Short Round covered his ears as Willie continued to scream for the next few seconds.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!?!?!?" Jones yelled, effectively silencing Willie. He got up, took the apple with him, and listened carefully at the rustling bushes, hearing a faint 'Nom' sounds. Carefully, he parted the bushes, but froze in complete silence, as, sitting on it's haunches and attempting to eat his fedora, was a small, dark golden pegasus with a spiky mane that went from light grey on top to black on the bottom, that was about the same size as his fedora. It stopped and turned towards Indiana, staring at him with his hat still in it's mouth. Indy snapped himself back to reality and extended his hand out to the pegasus.
"Hat." He simply spoke. The pegasus stared at his hand, comprehending what he was doing, then leaned it's head towards his hand and dropped the hat. Jones took his hat and placed it back on his head, placed the apple in his coat pocket, then took a step towards the pegasus and grabbed it with both of his hands. The pegasus squirmed a bit, trying to free herself, but stopped as Indy used his right arm as a cradle for it.
"What is it!?" Willie asked, nearly on the edge of panic. Indy turned around, caressing the pegasus' mane.
"It's a pegasus." He stated.
"A pega-what?" Short Round asked. Indy walked back to the camp and carefully sat down with he pegasus in his arms. Willie became curious and sat right behind Indy, peeking over his shoulder to see the pegasus, who had it's eyes shut and relaxing into Indy's arm.
"According to Greek legend," Indy answered "A pegasus is described as a majestic horse with wings on it's sides, flying freely across the sky. Of course, the legends say Pegasus was white, taller than an average horse, and a stallion. I don't think it's a stallion, but I know it's not white nor as tall as a horse."
"But... if it's myth... why is a real pegasus here?" Willie asked.
"I have no idea. I mean, it's not like we can ask her why she's here." A low growl was heard. The pegasus' eyes opened and it's ears perked looked at it's belly that growled, then stared at Indy with a hungry look in it's magenta colored eyes. Just the way it stared at Indy made him smirk. Without saying anything, Jones pulled out the apple and held it in front of the pegasus. It tilted it's head to the side, wondering what it was, took a quick sniff, then bit into the apple. It's pupils widened, then it's eyes went halfway closed, as it chewed it's piece, swallowed, and let out an 'Ah' with it's tongue lobbing out of it's mouth.
"Is that normal?" Short Round asked
"Not in the slightest." Jones answered. "Though the apple seemed to do the trick." It's ears perked up again and it looked at Indiana in the face.
"Apple?" it asked, turning it's head to the right as Dr. Jone's old family dog 'Indiana' did, with the voice of a little girl. Everyone froze at what just happened.
"It... spoke." Willie said, not screaming for once.
"I think we've gone crazy." Indiana commented. The talking pegasus jumped from Indy's arm, landed on the floor, and turned towards the archaeologist, wagging it's tail very similar to a dog.
"Apples!" It spoke again "I want apples!"
"It's a baby!" Short Round exclaimed. The pegasus ran around Short round, repeating 'I love apples!' for a few seconds. Indiana slapped himself across the face and quickly grabbed the pegasus, looking all over her. She giggled at what he was doing, oblivious on what he was doing.
"How is this happening!?" Indiana freaked out "It's a pegasus, but how is it talking!?" He turned her around, making them both see each other face to face. The pegasus reached her front right hoof and gently touched Indiana's nose
"BOOP!" She spoke with a giggle.
"What is your name!?"
"My name is Amy Keating Yewing."
"How are you here!? Where did you come from?" She stopped and stared at Indiana, then shrugged her front hooves in a 'I don't know' way.
"I saw a bwight wight and I woke up here. I was hungwy, so that's why I took yo hat. Sowwy for that."
"Well... don;t worry about that. Just don't do that, okay?" she nodded with a smile "So... do you have parents?" Her eyes widened & pupils grew into a ridiculously cute way.
"... are you my daddy?" Her eyes... they were too innocent, too huge, and very expressive for something that shouldn't exist. Indy's heart melted at the sight, and he groaned in dread: not only was this creature adorable, but she thinks he's her father. He know he couldn't have made her, but at the same time, he couldn't leave something so small and defenseless on her own. He swallowed hard, took a deep breath and spoke.
"I'm not your father," her eyes stared into him, and he could see tears being quickly developed "but... you'll be my... daughter."
"DADDY!!!" Her wings flapped rapidly, buzzing & almost sounding like that of a plane before she got out of his grip and tackled him, as she hugged him across his neck and making what was probably purring noises. Both Willie and Short Round watched this and couldn't help but giggle at the really cute sight of what was happening. As for Dr. Henry Walter "Indiana" Jones, Jr, he couldn't help but smile at the feeling of something so small & fuzzy hugging him with a grip that was both tight, but soft at the same time, and hearing her giggle with the hugging & snuggling she was doing to him. Indy caressed his new daughter's mane.
Oh god! He thought to himself Please, for all that's good in this world, do not become your father, Indiana. He felt Daring do release her grip on his neck, then carefully took her off, seeing that her eyes drooping.
"Tired?" He asked.
"Uh huh." She responded with a cute yawn.
"Yeah, same thing here." He carefully crawled into his tent, placing Yearling next to his head and his hat over his face. Both Short Round and Willie, without saying anything, agreed and went to their own tent. In a few minutes, everyone was fast asleep, all except for Yearling herself. She woke up a bit after everyone went to sleep and noticed she was on the dirt floor, next to her father's head. As quietly as she could, she climbed up her father's chest, walked around in a circle, and laid on her father's chest while rolled up into a ball, hearing her father's heartbeat in a smooth, rhythmic pattern that caused her to finally fall asleep as well.
She is not a pet.
Indiana Jones, Short Round, Willie, and A.K. Yearling stood in line, waiting for their tickets to go home via airplane. A.K. Yearling sat on her father's shoulder, looking a bit like an oversize parrot, as she attempted to balance Indy's hat on her head, only for it to cover her who entire head & face. Indiana couldn't help but chuckle at what his new adopted daughter was trying to do, watching her struggle a bit as she tried to take the hat off.
"Let me help you out." He said. He scooped the hat with Yearling inside, as she stuck her head out of the hat and looked where she was at. She blushed and flew up to his face, snuggling her face into his cheek.
"Next!" The travel agent spoke in English with his country's accent.
"You're going to love your new home." Indy said to A.K. Yearling. He turned his attention to the travel agent. "Hello there. I'd like 4 one way tickets to-"
"We apologize, but no pets are allowed." The agent interrupted. Indiana looked at the agent, then turned to A.K. Yearling.
"Oh! Her? She's not my pet, nor is she a pet at all."
"Well I don't care if it's your or not, no animals are allowed on the planes." Indiana chuckled to himself, trying to keep calm.
"Look, she is not an animal at all, nor is she my pet. She is a pegasus and, above that, she is my new daughter. Please, don't let me repeat myself again: I'd. Like. 4. One Way. Tickets. To. Connecticut. Please." Silence came in between Indy and the travel agent. If it were any moment later, either the travel agent would have a broken nose and Indy would've been in jail for the next few years. A.K. Yearling landed onto the counter.
"Pwetty pwease?" She asked, making her eyes & pupils grow large, followed by her bottom lip sticking out & going over of her upper lip, quivering it a bit. The Travel Agent's eyes widened and he scooted back in his chair.
"Hayagriva!!!" He yelled, now speaking Hindi "*I'm so sorry, Hayagriva! Please, take the plane ride to Connecticut! Free of charge!!!*" A.K.Yearling stared at the man for a few moments, then turned to her father.
"What did he say?" she asked
"...we have a free ride." Indiana replied
"Finally!" Willie yelled "Hello modern civilization!"
"And hello opportunities!!!" Short Round added. Indy smiled at what A.K. Yearling did.
"When we get home," He asked "Would you like some sweets?"
"Sweets!?" Yearling asked, her eyes beaming with hope "YAY!!!" Her wings buzzed again and she flew next to her father. Indiana lead the way and the whole group went into an airplane: it was much bigger than the one they arrived in India with, as there were more seats, no cages filled with chickens around, and many other people, Tourists & Indians, were taking their seat. The people stared at A.K. Yearling in complete silence as the four took their seats in the middle row. While there were only three seats available, Yearling stuck by her father, siting on his lap, but looked around her and noticed the people staring at her.
"Why are they starewing at me?" She asked to her father. Indy looked around, noticing the people staring at her.
"Don't mind them," he replied, pulling out his journal "You're just... different."
"Is that good?"
"With you, it is." The plane began and Yearling looked out of the window, seeing them fly above the ground, then turned to her father, watching him write something down. She flapped her wings and looked above her father's shoulder, seeing him draw something.
"What'cha doing?"
"writing."
"Whiting what?"
"My adventure before I meet you."
"Ooh! I want to read that!"
"Well... I guess you can look at these." He dug into his bag and pulled out some older, dustier journals that caused Yearling to let out some small and adorable sneezes. Indiana couldn't help but smile at it and gave her one of his various journals. She inspected the journal a bit, not sure what it'd do, then opened it, seeing various pictures of what was different objects, each looking old.
"What is this?" She asked, holding the journal in one hoof and poking at it with the other. How was she able to do that would probably be answered later.
"It's one of my journals." He replied "Like I said, you can look at the pictures, but I'll help you read when we get to the Marshall museum."
"Marshall museum?"
"Where I work. Hopefully, Marcus will understand."
"Marcus?"
"He's... your uncle."
"MY UNCA!?!?!? Unca Marcus!?!?!?"
"Yeah, you can say that." He placed his fedora over his face and began to take his nap, slowly petting A.K. Yearling as she began to scroll through his journal, looking at the various pictures of treasures & booby traps he went through.
The plane landed and Indy woke up from his nap, seeing his new daughter halfway through the same journal he gave her.
Strange, He thought Is she really into those pictures?
"Yearling?" He asked
"Shh!" She responded "I'm reading how you found the Crown Jewels Of King John while fighting that jerk and his men!" Indy's eyes widened, as not only was A.K. Yearling into his stories, but the fact that she can read so well, despite not being taught at all. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself at both how adorable it was for her to read his stuff and how she was into it so much.
"Well," he spoke, taking the journal away from her "I'm sorry, but we have to go."
"NO!!!" She pleaded "5 MORE MINUTES!!!" Her eyes beamed with sadness, tugging at Indy's heart. He groaned to himself again, giving in to her cuteness. He carried her and placed her in his bag as she continued reading. Both Indy and Willie walked side by side as they exited the plane, followed by Short Round. A car was outside, and a man in a grey suit stood out of it, waiting for someone.
"Dr. Jones?" He asked
"Yeah?" Indy replied
"It's been some time. We thought you were dead."
"You know me better than that."
"So... is this it?" Willie asked
"Yeah... I guess it is."
"So... one last kiss?"
"One last kiss." They both reached to each other and kissed each other. Yearling looked up from her reading session and saw the two kiss. Both her and Short Round pretended to gag. The two stopped kissing and looked at each other in their eyes one final time. Indy turned to the driver.
"Get Willie here a ride to the nearest nightclub." Indy spoke "And as for Short Round here... find him a family as soon as possible."
"I'm not going with you?" Short Round asked with disappointment. Indy took a deep breath and looked at the kid.
"Listen, though you helped me out in that temple, that was more or less an accident on my part. If it weren't for the temple, I'm pretty sure you'd get a family sooner than planned."
"So... I'm getting a new home?"
"With a loving family." He shuffled his hair a bit. "Plus, I got Yearling here, and she has no one to care for her, so I might as well be a parent to her until we can find a family of Pegasuses."
"So you're keeping her?"
"Yeah. Plus, I really can't deny her with those eyes."
"I can hear you!" Yearling spoke, not even looking away from the journal.
"Come here!" He gave Short Round a quick hug before walking into the car. Yearling luckily dropped the journal on time, peeked out the window, and waved goodbye to Willie & Short Round, who waved back in return as another car came along to pick them up. The driver entered the car, but stopped and stared at Yearling. Yearling stared right back, then smiled and waved.
"Hi!" she said.
"... Is that a-" the driver stammered
"Yes." Indy interrupted "It's a talking, female pegasus and I am now her father, so don't say she's a pet."
"... I'm not even going to ask." The driver started the car and drove ahead.
After an hour of driving & entering the museum, Yearling was awestruck by the size of the museum, resting on her father's head as she looked around the area, nearly pointing everything out as they walked. A couple of people stared at the sight of something weird but cute, and the two were greeted by an eccentric man in a black suit who looked older than Indy himself.
"Indy!" He yelled "It's been such a long time! What happened!? Where did you go? And- What the? Is that a-"
"Yes," Indy replied, grabbing Yearling off his head and caressed her mane "it's a pegasus."
"Hewwo!" Yearling spoke while waving towards the man. "My name is Amy Keating Yewing!" The man stared at her for a bit.
"By jove," he spoke "not only can it talk, but it's ADORABLE!!!"
"And she's pretty smart." Indy added, gently placing Yearling on the floor. The man bent down to Yearling. Her ears perked down and she backed up a bit.
"Hello there! I'm Marcus Brody."
"Marcus?" She asked with her ears perking up.
"That'r right. I founded this museum you're in and I wanted to say-"
"UNCA MARCUS!!!" She tackled Marcus to the floor and hugged his neck, snuggling her head. Marcus hollered with laughter as she hugged him.
"No!" He yelled with laughter "St-ahahahahp that! I'm ti-hehehehehehehe-cklish!" Indiana, again, couldn't help but smirk at the sight, seeing this small form of tickle torture for a few seconds.
"Alright," he said "I guess that's enough." He leaned down and took Yearling off Brody, turning her around and using his arm as a cradle & his free arm to gently scratch her belly with it's index finger. Marcus got up, still laughing a bit, but slowly getting his calm back.
"Whoo!" He exclaimed "You have something there, Dr. Jones."
"Tell me about it."
"Oh! And about your companions?"
"Willie and Short Round?"
"Yes, those two good fellows of yours: Willie now has a job at a nightclub called "The Copacabana", and the boy is now in Astoria, Oregon. Hopefully, the Country club there won't be much of a problem for him in the future."
"That's good to know." Another small growl was heard. A.K. Yearling looked at her belly then blushed with an embarrassing smile.
"Aw! Look at that! She's hungry! Come with me, I should have some apples in the that she'll enjoy."
"Yay!" She cheered "Apples!!!"
"And while we're at it, you can tell me what happened and how you acquired you're new pet."
"I'm not a pet! I'm Daddy's wittle giwl!"
"Aw! Even when she's angry, she cute! Right?" He looked up to Indy, who gave him a death glare. Marcus went from smiling to a nervous frown.
"She is my daughter," Indy spoke with a stern attitude that would make any brave man cower "and don't you ever call her a 'pet' again, understand?"
"Yes sir!" Marcus replied with quick nodding.
"Apples!" Yearling chanted "I want apples!"
"And we're going to get some!" Marcus spoke, turning and running ahead
Oh please, let there be apples!!! He thought to himself in panic.
I'm Dawing Do!
The three were inside a small, private room with trophies around & papers regarding the museum's budgeting and other things. Both Indy and Marcus sat down together on a table, discussing about Indy's last adventure and how he meet A.K. Yearling. Yearling, meanwhile, finished her third apple, letting out a small burp with a slightly bloated belly. She got up and began to walk around the room, occasionally buzzing her wings to get to the desk, a chair, or any of the shelves to get a closer look at the various objects that peaked her interest.
"So," Marcus spoke "Not only did you saved a village from an evil cult, but immediately, you found her at that night and took a liking to her already, bringing her home with you?"
"...When you say it like that," Indy replied "yeah, that's what happened."
"Fascinating. Now, what do you plan on doing with Ms... um... what was your name again, Miss?" They both turned to see A.K. Yearling on the desk, taking a tan pith helmet off the head off a mannequin head. She placed her head in it, though it covered her head.
"Look Daddy!" She said while trying to maintain her balance, her voice a bit muffled from the pith helmet. "I'm Dawing Do! Famous adventuwah like you!" She took a step forward but fell down, letting out an "Ooph!".
"Wait a minute." Indy spoke. He walked over to Yearling and helped her up, balancing the pith helmet on her head. She smiled at her father, and Dr. Jones got an idea that may just work: He will train her as his apprentice in Archaeology and Treasure hunting! "What was your name again?"
"Daddy, I'm A.K. Yeawing!"
"No, not that one, the other one." She tilted her head to the side.
"...Dawing Do?"
"Yes... YES!!! Yearlihng, how would you like to become Daring Do!?" Yearling gasped and buzzed in the air again, landing in her father's arms
"And become the next adventurer!?!?!? I'd love it!!!"
"Dr. Jones!" Marcus yelled "She can't do that! That type of life is dangerous and repulsive!!!"
"Don't worry about it," Jones replied "I'll teach her all what I know & have learned personally."
"Everything?" She asked, her eyes beaming with excitement.
"As much as I can. But, first, we need you to do two things." Yearling tilted her head to the side.
"Two things?"
"They're easy really. One is the clothing you will wear as A.K. Yearling, and one for Daring Do."
"...Don't you stay the same?"
"Almost. What you're seeing is myself as 'Indiana Jones', but you'll see me as myself as 'Professor Jones'... just as soon we get home. Marcus, is my stuff home?"
"It is," Marcus replied "your clothes are washed and at your house."
"Good. And, sorry Yearling, but you're going to need a bath as well." Yearling shrugged her front hooves shoulders.
"I agwee," she admitted "I smell nasty and need a bath weally bad." Indy smiled again, carrying her daughter and caressing her mane again.
"She certainly isn't like any other child." Marcus commented.
"I know," Indy nodded "and that's another reason I love her."
"And I Wove you too, Daddy." Yearling replied, snuggling her head into his chest.
"This... it's too cute." Marcus commented "Go and spend time with her. I'm pretty sure with her attitude and with your perseverance, she's going to be as great as you."
"I actually think she's going to surpass me in many ways." Indy spoke with a large smile. "She may not have hands, but she should do more than me in every other way."
"With the right training, of course."
"Definitely."
"And, for her, let her keep the hat."
"Seriously?"
"As a gift... and an apology."
Both Indy and Yearling entered their home in the cover of dark. Jones filled & clogged the kitchen sink with warm water and placed Yearling in it, along with some soap in it to make a bubble bath for her. She placed her head under the running sink, using the water as her own shower, getting rid of the dust & dirt behind her ears. Jones turned on the radio and music played. Yearling turned to the radio and stared at it, her ears flickering and her head tilting with curiosity as her father washed her in a way that felt like a firm, but, at the same time, a soft massage. He was careful around her wings, as they seemed a lot more fragile than her body, and massaged her mane to get rid of the filth that her hooves that she couldn't get. As soon as her bath was done, he dried her off with a towel, making sure she was dry thoroughly. She walked to the radio and turned the nob. Another song played.
"You have fun with that," Indy replied, turning and going to his bathroom for his shower. While showering, he could hear Yearling playing with the radio, rapidly changing the songs playing and both raising & lowering the volume. He came out in his pajamas, seeing Yearling on the radio and batting at the radio's speakers.
"Don't wowwy!" She yelled "I'ww save you!!!" Jones hollered with laughter while placing his palm over his face.
"Yearling," He spoke still chuckling "that's what it's suppose to do."
"Keep people inside!?"
"No! It's to play music." He walked over and turned off the radio, then carried Yearling into his room. He placed her on his soft bed and watched as she walked around in a circle and flopped onto one of the pillows. He sat next to Yearling, making her raise her head and tilting it. He pulled out his journal and a pencil with it.
"Now," he said "you're going to need a disguise for both sides: one for A.K. Yearling and the other for Daring Do. Let's start off with you, Yearling; what do you think you should wear?"
"What should I wear?" She asked "Well... what do you wear?"
"Me? Well... first, I keep my hair groomed, next, I wear a suit with a bow tie, and finally, as the last piece, I wear glasses."
"Gwasses?"
"Glasses."
"But... why? Can't you see?"
"I can see, these glasses don't do anything to my sight at all. In that, I am a teacher at the Marshall College, but when I'm not in that, well, you already know. Think you can make a disguise?"
"Well... I have an idea." He lifted her and placed her on his lap. He then prepared to write what his daughter will say.
"Tell me about it."
"Well... I think the gwasses will work!" He began to write down into the journal
"...Glasses."
"And not just any gwasses, they... have to be... red gwasses!!!"
"Red glasses?"
"Red Gwasses! Also... a gwey hat!"
"A grey hat? What type?"
"...What are most people wearing today?"
"...A Cloche?"
"Yeah! A gwey cwoche with... uh... a white wibbon on it!"
"White... Ribbon. Sounds good, but I think most people will recognize you with those wings."
"Oh yeah! Well... a... a puwple shawl!!!"
"A Purple shawl?"
"Yeah! It'll look good! I can tell."
"It... actually does. But what should you do? You do stick out among people?"
"Weally? Well... OH!!! I can be a witer!!!"
"A writer?"
"Yeah! I... I can say I'm good fwiends with Dawing Do and she would like me to wite her stowies down!"
"That... sounds good actually." He looked at the pith helmet "I take it you want the pith helmet as Daring Do?" She nodded her head.
"It's cool!" He looked into the closet and noticed something he hadn't seen in a long time: a dark olivine vest that his old dog, Indiana, wore when he was a puppy.
"Hold on there, I think I found something." He placed Yearling next to him and walked into the closet. He took the vest and sat next to Yearling. He then made two holes for Yearling's wings to pop out of. "Hold still." He carefully placed Yearling's head into the vest, her hooves popping out of the sleeves, her wingd popping out of the holes, and her head popping out of the collar. It fits perfectly! Yealing, now Daring Do, looked down at herself and jumped with excitement!
"YAY!!!" She cheered "Look out wowld, here come's Dawing Do!!!"
"Soon." Indy replied, rustling her mane "You first need training on what to do."
"I'm going to be the best adventuwew of all time!!!"
"With that attitude, I'm certain you'll be, but first, you need to rest. Our training begins tomorrow."
"Yes Daddy." Jones turned off the lights around his house and got comfortable in his bed, placing the blanket on him. Daring Do, as they first meet, got onto her father's chest, turned around in a circle, then fell to the ground, letting out one small & adorable yawn before sleeping again. Indy noticed what she did and placed both of his hands around her, one near her head and the other over her hind legs. Though she was asleep, she placed her front hooves over his fingers, using his hands as her own blanket. The sound of the crickets outside, the ocasional car driving by, and, to Daring Do/ A.K. Yearling, Indy's heart, were the only things heard as both father & daughter slept through the night.
The idol
It's been a whole year of training for A.K Yearling/Daring Do, but it was worth it. She grew, almost similar to dogs & cats in a few years, as she was nearly twice her size already, her wings didn't make a buzzing sound anymore, but flapped more like a bird's wings, and her English has gotten better. Indiana was able to teach her how to use a bullwhip as a just in case weapon and a way of traveling if her wings were ever broken. Along with the Whip, Daring Do was given a thorough education in world history, anthropology, and architecture, while, for her disguise as A.K.Yearling, reading & writing, which she excelled at. It was considered a bit of a bad idea to bring A.K. Yearling with him to help teach the class in Greek legend, as half of the students gasped that a pony could talk while the other half were too distracted from her in the adorable disguise. To say Yearling didn't like the attention was an understatement, as she blushed and tried to make her hat & shawl as a way to hide like a tortoise would.
While it was embarrassing for her to show herself as A.K.Yearling, it wasn't as her own made up self, Daring Do. Indiana Jones received news & an old map that lead to an idol in South America. Though Indy wasn't sure, he was convinced by his daughter that she was ready! Her confidence, training, and intelligence made her ready. With the help of a lone & funny pilot named "Jock" (who found Daring Do as a cute form of Indiana Jones), and four local villagers, two acting as guided with the other two acting as their helpers, they set off to find an idol of the lost Hovitos people. They tracked their way into the forest, hearing the various wildlife around them, losing one of them by a statue that 'spewed' at him with bats, and the other near the entrance of a stream. Indy checked his map as Daring Do landed on his right shoulder, using only her front hooves to carry her and allowing her back legs & tail to dangle. A small click was heard, and Indy turned his head to the left while Daring's left ear flickered. Daring flew away from her father as he turned around, took out his whip, and snapped the whip away from one of their 'friends', who pulled a pistol on them, planning on killing them for what was most likely to get more money. As his plan failed, the man quickly ran away, as Indy rolled his whip back into his belt.
"And that's why you always carry your whip." Indiana spoke as Daring landed next to him.
"That was amazing!" Daring commented. "So where's the idol?" Indy looked around, then found a cave. He climbed the hill.
"This is it. This is where Forrestal cashed in." He picked up a bag and placed some sand in it.
"A friend of yours?" the other man asked with a Spanish accent.
"A Competitor. He was good."
"Very, very good." Daring Added. They both turned to exit the cave. Their partner stopped Indy.
"Hombres," he said "nobody's come out of there alive."
"There's always a first." Daring replied, flying in. They entered the cave, seeing cobwebs around and on them.
"Hold on." Indiana said. Daring Do stopped. A lone spider was on her back. Indy flicked the spider away, and Daring watched it land on the floor and run away.
"Senior." Their partner said. Daring flew over and saw a few spiders on her father's back. Their partner swiped the spiders off for him. Indy turned around and saw a spider on their partner's shoulder. He signaled him to turn around, which he followed. His whole back was covered in spiders.
"Your turn." Indy said.
"Ugh!" Daring groaned in disgust. "Hold still." She took her hat off and batted at the spiders, making them fall to the floor and run away. After their little distraction, they went into a hallway with some light coming in from the walls. Daring was ready to buzz through, but was stopped as Indy held her by her tail.
"Stop." Indy stated "Stay out of the light." Indy crawled under the light, followed by Daring, who simply trotted on the floor. Indiana carefully waved his hand at the light, and out of the wall was some sharp, metal spikes with a skeleton at the end! Daring squealed a bit, hiding behind her father, but their partner screamed loudly. Indy recognized what the skeleton wore easily.
"Forrestal." He muttered under his breath. The three came across a large gap on the floor, where a wooden log was held above what looked a bottomless pit. Daring easily flew over it, leaving the humans to use Indy's whip as a way to get across the gap. Indy went first, followed by their partner. The log moved down a bit, making their partner's land uncoordinated, forcing Indy to grab him by his belt area and Daring to fly back and push him forward.
"It's alright," Daring reassured him "We got you!" He was saved and Indy placed the whip around a rock nearby. They entered a room and, staring in awe, at the end of the room, was a small, golden statue.
"Let's hurry!" Their partner spoke, almost running ahead "There's nothing to fear here!!!" Indy grabbed the partner.
"That's what scares me." He replied. He pulled out a log from the wall and took a step near a mud covered diamond shaped tile on the floor. Carefully, he pressed the tile with the log. An arrow came from the wall, hitting the log. They both looked at Daring Do. She looked up tot hem and smiled, flapping her wings.
"Bag please!" She insisted. Indiana pulled the bag of sand and gave it to her.
"Be careful, okay?" he said with some worry.
"Don't worry about it! Daring Do's here!" She flew over the booby-trapped floor, carrying the bag in her front hooves. She stared in awe at the statue, seeing her reflection off of it. She scratched her chin, wondering how this will work. She pulled the bag out, carefully took some sand out, and, in very long feeling seconds, she snagged the Idol and placed the bag of sand in it's place! Nothing happened for a few moments, but as soon as she turned around, the place rumbled! Pieces of the roof fell from the ceiling, as the place began to collapse.
"RUN!!!" Indiana Jones yelled. Daring flew out of the room unharmed, and followed everyone to the pit! The partner swung ahead and landed on the other side, though the whip came unloose around the log. Daring, still carrying the idol, flew next to him. The room had a stone door closing down on them, becoming their tomb it their don't exit and make their way to freedom
"Give me the Whip!" Indy yelled. Their parnter turned to Daring and extended his hand to her.
"Give me the idol!"
"Give the rope to my dad!" She yelled
"First, give me the idol!" Daring stared at him with an angered look. She lifted the idol and hit his head with it, knocking him out! She placed the idol next to him, carried the whip, and gave it to her dad.
"Did you really have to knock him out?" He asked as he swung the whip across the log.
"He was going to run away with the idol and keep all the money to himself. Plus, I don't think he'd survive the light trap we just went through."
"Fair enough." He swung across the gap, but lost his balance on the ledge. Daring flew right behind and pushed her father up. He regained his balance and carried the man while Daring picked up the idol. The made it past the lgiht trap easily, and ran ahead into the near entrance of the cave. They heard something coming and looked behind: a huge boulder was rolling towards them! Indiana Jones ran with the unconscious traitor while Daring Do held the idol in her hooves and flying towards the exit! Indiana Jones jumped out of the hole, using the traitor as a pillow, and Daring Do landed on his father's chest, still holding the Idol in her hooves. They both looked at each other, smiled, then laughed out loud! They stopped, however, as around them were people, all naked with the exception of loin clothes and beads around their necks, all holding spears & primitive weapons. The man who pulled a pistol on Indy stood near them, then fell to the floor face-first with small pricks & blood coming out from his back. Another man came from right behind, wearing a tan version of Daring Do's suit.
"Dr. Jones," he spoke in a noticeable German accent "and... a... pegasus?"
"I'm Daring Do!" She replied in an angered tone.
"...so I see. Again, Dr. Jones, again, we see there is nothing you can posses which I cannot take away. And you thought I'd given up."
"What's he talking about?"
"Not now." Indy slowly pulled a pistol out, but the tribesmen aimed their weapons at the two. Indy looked around and reluctantly gave him his pistol.
"You've chosen the wrong friends," the man commented on them, then looked at Daring Do. "And the wrong pets."
"...Pet?" Daring asked, her wings flapping "Did you... just call me... A PET!?!?!?" The tribemen lowered their weapons and backed up, speaking in their own language. "Listen here mister: I may not be the same species as you, I don't have hands nor a taste in meat, but I know one thing: I AM DR. JONE'S DAUGHTER AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT'LL CHANGE THAT!!!" she held the idol in the air and spoke in an unknown language to Indy. All of the Tribesmen bowed down to Daring Do worshiping her as some sort of god.
"*GET THEM!!!*" They ignored him, chanting to Daring Do instead.
"We'll give you a ten second start, Belloq" Indiana smirked. Belloq walked back bit, then ran away!
"*Get him!*" Daring Do ordered in their language. The Tribemen cheered and ran after Belloq! Daring Do flew down and landed into Indy's extended arms, snuggling herself into his chest.
"How did you do that?"
"I... really don't know. It felt natural." A glowing light came around Daring's flank area, and on it was now a compass! Both Indy and Daring Stared at the mark on Daring's rump.
"And what is that?"
"I have no idea."
"Maybe an expert can help us?"
"Oh sure, is there an expert that studies any pegasus for a living?"
"...point taken."
The two walked out of the forest and found Jock, who was fishing. Daring flew over to Jock with the Idol in her hooves.
"Is that the idol?" Jock asked, staring at the idol.
"Yep!" Daring replied. Jock looked at Daring's flank.
"Did you get a tatoo or something?"
"I... really can't explain. It just appeared in flash of light."
"... Jeez, Dr. Jones adventures sure are weird. Hold on, what to see what I got?"
"Sure!" Indy swam cross the lake and climbed on the side of the plane. Jock dug into what was Indy's seat during their journey over to South America.
"What is it?" Indy asked, squeezing the water out of his coat.
"I call him Reggie." Jock answered. He pulled out an anaconda. Indy immediately screamed and jumped into the water! Daring looked into the water as Jock placed the snake around her neck.
"Dad!" She yelled "What's wrong? Are you afraid of snakes?"
"I HATE SNAKES!!!" He screamed in fear "I HATE 'EM!!!" Both Jock and Daring looked at each other, then laughed together.
Marion Ravenwood and the bar fight.
Thanks to Daring Do/ A.K. Yearling's help in the search of the idol, not only does the museum have a new thing to show the public, but Indy and his daughter were paid really well! With the money, and some tests from the government, A.K. Yearling was sworn in as an American citizen, and, with the help of the cash from her father, was able to make (or in her case, retell) an adventure series involving a certain pegasus finding treasures in many adventures that were life threatening. Unsurprisingly, it was a hit with the public, as legions of fans gathered around Yearling, asking her where these ideas came from. Her reply was simply "She's her best friend". Both father and daughter became successful in their own way, making a lot of money that not even they could keep track of!
Luckily, it ended as Marcus had both Indiana Jones and Daring Do, with financial aid from the government, as reports of Beelow had survived and is working with the Nazis to find the "Ark of the Covenant", the same ark the Hebrews carried with them as they journeyed to the promised land that contained the original ten commandments of the bible. The Nazis had dig sites all over Cairo, looking for the covenant as a weapon to serve Hitler and the Nazis' in ruling the world. The problem is that they don't have the the headpiece for "The Staff of Ra", but thanks to Indy learning from Professor Ravenwood from the University of Chicago, who was dead, his daughter, Marion Ravenwood, may know where the headpiece is. The real thing Daring needed to know is that they needed to get the headpiece & a correct sized staff, use it on a miniature replica of Tannis to find the well of souls where the Covenant was now in, and take it back to America. Both Indy and Daring took a plane together, as they traveled to Nepal to find Marion, who owned her own bar right above a village below.
After a few hours of traveling, and going through the frozen mountains of Nepal, they both found the bar they needed to go to meet Marion. A bunch of people left the bar, most likely by the fact it was now closed, and they entered. Inside was a woman with a single ponytail, wearing a long sleeve shirt that was, as Daring saw, also the color of her vest. Daring didn't care, however, as she ran to the fireplace and held her hooves over the lit fireplace, embracing the warmth of the flame. How her father wasn't affected by the heat was really curious, but it's probably something that'll never be answered.
"Hello, Marion." Indy introduced himself. She jumped and looked behind her. She had a smug on her face and walked up to him.
"Indiana Jones." She spoke. She turned her head and saw Daring Do, turning around and placing her flank area near the fireplace, letting out a bliss sounding 'Ahh!' She stared at her, and Daring stared right back.
"...Don't judge me." Daring spoke.
"Is that a-"
"Yes," Indiana interrupted "she's a talking pegasus, is able to talk like us, and is my daughter."
"Your daughter?" Marion replied "Never saw you as a family man."
"I never thought of it myself."
"Still, I knew you'd come, walking through my door. I knew that, something that was inevitable. So what are you, and your... daughter... doing here in Nepal?"
"I need one of the pieces your father collected." Marion launched her right arm and punched Indy across the face!
"DAD!!!" Daring yelled in fear. She flapped her wings and flew next to him, lifting his head right up.
"I'm alright." Indy replied, rubbing his chin.
"I've learned to hate you in these last ten years!" Marion yelled
"I never meant to hurt you."
"I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!"
"You knew what you were doing."
"Now I do! This is my place! Now get out!"
"Even me?" Daring asked. Marion turned to Daring. The pegasus made her eyes seem bigger, as she stuck her bottom lip out & over her upper lip, quivering it a bit. Marion sweated a bit and bit her lips.
"Um... well... you can-"
"I did what I did!" Indiana interrupted "You don't need to be happy about it, but maybe we could help each other out now."
"Like a team!" Daring cheered.
"Yeah... like a team." Marion walked over and sat onto a table chair. Indy followed her "I need one of the pieces your father collected. Bronze size, about this size with a hole in if, off-center with a crystal. You know the one I mean?" Marion placed some dirty shots away.
"Yeah." She replied "I know it."
"Where's Abner?"
"...Abner's dead." Both Daring and looked into each other's eyes, then turned to Marion. Daring flapped her wings and hugged her right behind her neck. She gently tapped her shoulder like her father did when she fell down after bumping her head on the wall.
"There There." Daring spoke in a cooing voice. The softness & warmth from Daring's fur & mane made Marion flip her around and hug her. Daring didn't struggle, but hugged right back.
"Marion," Indy said "I'm sorry."
"Did you know what you did to me?" She asked "To my life?"
"I can only say sorry multiple times." Marion wanted to flip a her tray of dirty shots, but due to Daring hugging her, she was calmed down greatly.
"Well... say it again anyway."
"...Sorry."
"Well... everyone's sorry. Abner was sorry for dragging me all over this earth looking for bits of junk. I'm sorry to still be in this dive."
"And I'm sorry for telling you that you smell funny." Daring added. Marion stared at Daring for a few moments. Indy gently grabbed Daring off her neck and placed her next to him as he took a set on one of the stools.
"What I'm saying is that everyone's sorry for something."
"Well... it's a worthless bronze medallion, Marion." Indiana replied, taking Daring's hat off and stroked his daughter's mane & coat. "You going to give it to me?"
"Please?" Daring added, looking to Marion and holding her hat in her hooves. Marion smiled at Daring and rustled her mane.
"You're really cute like that." Marion replied "for you, it's a definite yes."
"So you'll find it for us?" Indy asked
"For her, not for you."
"Yay!" Daring cheered, tossing her hat in the air & causing it to land on her head "We're going to get our important object!" She looked to her father and he looked at her. He away from her and Marion.
"Lucky." He murmured under his breath. Marion pulled what they needed from her shirt, as she had it on like a necklace. She took her necklace off and placed it around Daring Do's neck. Daring looked at the piece they needed, oohing at it as she saw her won reflection on it.
"It's shiny!" She stated. Marion giggled at what she commented, removed her hat, and kissed Daring on her forehead.
"Never stop being adorable." Marion said. Daring blushed and turned to her father. Indy rolled his eyes and Carried Daring in his arms. He reached into his pocket and gave Marion some cash. "What's this?"
"Three thousand dollars." Jones answered. "think of it as a thank you gift from us." She looked at the cash, then back to Indy and Daring
"Thank you, both of you."
"Your welcome. Let's go, Daring."
"Bye Marion!" Daring waved "Hope you don't punch my dad when we meet again!" Marion waved back as the two exited. She looked at the hat Daring wore and tried it on herself. Too small for her. Shame. It might have looked good on her herself. The door opened again.
Daring and Jones were a few feet away from the bar, when Daring suddenly notcied what was missing.
"MY HAT!!!" She yelled. She jumped out of her fathers arms and ran to the bar.
"Daring!" Jones yelled "Wait!" Daring Do slightly opened the door with her head, but stopped and saw Marion was held by some people that may or may not have exited when they arrives, as well as a man in a leather jacket. Indy stood by her, but also stopped as he saw what Daring Do saw.
"Looks like we're not going to leave without a fight." Jones commented. He entered the room as quietly as he could and took his whip out & pistol. Daring flew behind the var area, flying right above their heads, not being noticed at all. Indy cracked his whip as the man in black leather was close to putting a the tip of a rod of metal into Marion's eye, taking the weapon away! They all turned, seeing Indy prepared with his whip and pistol
"Let her go!" Indy ordered. Both sides stared down art each other. Daring flew right behind the bad guys.
"Yoo hoo! Daring distracted. The man that didn't turn was shot by Indy. The whole place erupted into chaos: Indy took cover behind a flipped table, Daring flew above the area, doing zig-zags & whatever she could to not get shot at, and Marion hid behind the bartender's booth.
"Don't shoot that thing!" The man in leather yelled "It has what we're looking for! One of you, get it!" Indy fired at the fireplace, making a barrier to the upstairs room for the men fighting them. One of the goons came right behind Indy and grabbed him by his collar.
"Dad!" Daring yelled. She flapped her wings and flew to rescue her dad. Though she doesn't quite pack the punch, she packed quite the bite, as she bit the goon's hand. He screamed in pain, giving Indy the chance to fight back. Another goon aimed at Indy while he was fighting, but, very luckily, Marion grabbed a bottle of vodka and slammed it on his head, knocking him out with the price being no vodka to drink from anymore. Indy was tackled by another one of the henchmen, choking Indy on a table! Daring tried to rush ahead, but walked back in fear as the man in the black leather jacket walked up to her with his disturbing smile.
"Give me that," he bargained "and I'll let you and your father live."
"Over my dead body!"
"If you insist." He leapted towards Daring! Daring sprinted to her left, making the man's face land on the burning kettle on the floor! He creamed in pain, but Daring ignored him: she flew to her father, picked up a whisky bottle, and slammed it on the the goon's head! He feel to the floor unconscious, and Indy got up, taking deep breaths, but smiled as Daring saved his life again. Another goon came along, holding a tommy gun and aimed it at them! A shot was heard, and they both flinched. They looked at each other, then themselves, seeing that they weren't shot. They turned to the goon, who spat blood, then fell to the floor. They all ran outside,, seeing the place crumble & fall in flames.
"Well Jones," Marion said, her voice barely heard with the rushing winds. "at least you haven't forgotten to show a lady a good time!"
"Hey!" Daring replied "I was there too!"
"Oh yeah! Here, you left this!" Marion gave Daring back her hat. Daring accepted it and placed it back over her head.
"You are sure something!" Indy said to Marion
"Yeah, I'll tell you what: Until I get my five thousand dollars back, you're both going to get more than what you bargained for!"
"And that is!?" Daring asked, flying to Marion's face with a hopeful smile.
"I'm your goddamn partner!"
Sallah and the market chase
The three traveled from Nepal to the city of Cairo by plane, another nap for the three to have together. As soon as they landed and exited the plane, they were greeted by a pretty big man with a bushy beard, wearing all white clothing and hat.
"Indy!" He yelled with open arms.
"Sallah!" Indy replied, opening his arms. The two gave each other a hug. Daring tilted her head to the side before flying next to her father.
"Who's he?" she asked. Sallah jumped and walked back a bit.
"Indy," he said "is that a talking pegasus?"
"Is it, Sallah." Indy replied, holding Daring Do in his arms "Her name is Daring Do."
"Daring Do? Hello there, I'm Sallah! Your father and I used to work together."
"Hi Sallah," Daring Do greeted herself, flying towards Sallah's face "I'm Daring Do, and I'm your friend's daughter."
"Daughter? Never thought I'd saw you having kids, let alone, a pegasus."
"Believe me," Indy replied with a chuckle "I didn't think it'd happen."
"And who is the fair lady with you?"
"Hello, I'm Marion." Marion greeted herself, extending her hand. Sallah took both of her hands and shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! A friend of Indy's is a friend of mine! Come, let me take you to my house! My children love guests! I hope there's a good reason for you to come here other than a nice greeting."
"Oh there is." Indy answered. Sallah lead the way to his house.
They arrived into Sallah's home and walked to the roof, seeing the city ahead. His wife & children were present, and they all thought Daring Do was so adorable as soon as she landed on the table. Daring didn't mind, as, being A.K.Yearling, most of her fans were kids. Marion and Indy looked to the city ahead.
"Cairo," Sallah commented on the view "the city of living and paradise on earth!" A monkey landed on their table, making the children laugh at it's antics. The monkey approached Daring and began to dig through her mane, eating tiny insects that landed in her mane when they arrived. The children laughed at what the monkey did, though their mom wasn't too happy about it. The monkey stopped digging through Daring's mane and climbed up Marion's arm, then climbed onto the back of her neck.Daring watched and felt some jealousy between her and this monkey.
"Cute." Marion commented "What an adorable creature."
"Hey!" Daring yelled, hoping in place "I'm more adorable!"
"I'm sorry for that, you're just as adorable as this monkey." Daring stared at the monkey, and the monkey stared at her.
"I've got my eyes on you." Marion walked away with the monkey still holding on to her. Indy and Sallah sat right in front of each other on the table Daring sat on. She walked over to her father and laid on her back, as her father began to gently scratch her tummy. Daring didn't pay much attention to what they were discussing, but got the main gist of it: The Nazis have a huge archaeological dig outside of the city, all workers are low paid, Belloq is still alive & running the operation, a man Sallah knows can translate the marking on their jewel, and Sallah is actually worried about what happens if they do get the ark and open it.
Daring, Indiana, and Marion walked through the streets as Sallah went to make arrangements for a meeting with the man he knew. Daring felt rage built in her as they talked about how cute the monkey was and how it had both Indy's looks & Marion's brains. The monkey ran away. Daring chased the monkey a bit, then stopped a few feet away.
"Yeah!" Daring yelled "You better run away!"
"Jealous?" Indy asked with a chuckle, picking up Daring Do.
"He was going to replace me! ME!!! Your daughter!"
"Don't be such a spoiled sport. Nothing can replace you."
"I may said it was cute," Marion added, taking Daring's hat off and rustling her mane "but nothing has your eyes and courage." Daring gave them both a confused look.
"So... he was a pet?" she asked
"Yes." They both answered in unison.
"...OH!!!"
"Have a date." Indy spoke. Daring looked around her
"Was there another pegasus?"
"No, this." he gave Daring a large, raisin looking fruit. Daring took a bite out of it with a small 'Nom' and chewed it, finding it weird, but enjoyable. They continued their walk for a few extra minutes
"So," Marion spoke to Indy "How's it like having a child that's a pegasus?"
"Well," Indy answered "It's weird, I won't lie, but it's a good weird. She's been helpful multiple times, and she's doing really well as a book writer."
"A book writer? Bus she doesn't have hands."
"Doesn't mean she can't write. She's used her mouth to help her write, then, as a means of a final draft, she uses the type writer."
"She types?"
"She does. Her wings seem to act as hands themselves. You wouldn't believe the number of times she covered her face with her wings when she was in my house for the first few days and search for the bathroom or get a glass of water."
"That... sounds super adorable.
"It is." Daring opened her eyes, her ears perked up, and her left ear twitch.
"Behind us!" Daring yelled, flying out of her father's arms. Indy immediately turned and punched a man covered in black cloth. More men came along, some holding weapons of their own! Marion used some objects at projectiles, and Daring flew into the air, landing on some of the people they were fighting and using their own clothing to blind them, making them punch each other or swing in the air wildly.
"Both of you!" Indy yelled "Get out of here!"
"No, Dad!" Daring replied "We're staying with you!" Indy groaned to himself and dragged Marion with him, nearly tossing her into a cart with hay. Daring Do flew next to her father, as he pulled out his whip and whipped at the people tying to attack them.
"Stay with Marion!"
"But Dad!"
"I said stay!"
"Come on." Marions said, snatching Daring out of the air and tightly hugging her. Daring struggled to break free from Marion's grasp, but the cart rapidly moved away from the fight. Marion got up after a few seconds and ran ahead. One of the men followed them, making Marion let go of Daring and pulled a nearby frying pan off a vendor's stall. The man stopped as Marion prepared to fight. He smiled and pulled out a knife. Marion froze for a few moments. A loud 'Clang' was heard, and he fell to the floor. Daring Do was right behind him and she used a frying pan to knock him out.
"Thanks!" Marion thanked.
"No problem." Daring replied. Marion ran and Daring followed her. She stopped and turned around, then jumped into a large basket. Daring wanted to join her, but figured the best way was to look over from a roof and watch the people go by, then tell Marion the close was clear. Daring watched and snickered to herself as the bad men rushed by Marion, but stopped as she saw the same monkey climbed the basket Marion was in. It screeched a bit. Daring flew down and landed near the monkey, using her right hoof to slap the monkey across it's face.
"I knew you were trouble!" Daring yelled. The monkey screeched right back and slapped her across the face! Daring returned the slap. The monkey the same! It soon became a slap fest between the two animals! A gunfire was heard in the distance, and the Monkey ran away.
"Good riddance!" Daring yelled. Indy came around the corner and saw Daring sitting on the basket.
"Where's Marion?" He asked
"In here!" Marion replied, her voice muffled by the basket. Daring flew away, tossing the basket lid away. Marion stuck her head out, then climbed out of the basket.
"That monkey was a traitor!" Daring yelled.
"How so?" Indy asked
"I heard it," Marion said "The Nazis ran by, that little monkey climbed the basket and screeched at them. Were it not for Daring and their little... slap fest, I would've been captured." Indy picked up his daughter and gently touched her cheeks.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"Don't worry, Dad." Daring replied "it was a small monkey, not like you guys." Indy smiled with a chuckle
"That's good to know."
"Come on," Marion said "We better get out of here before they come back for us!"
The three sat in a local restaurant, well far from their area and is the local place where Indy first meet Sallah & became friends. A familiar mane came along and sat in front of them.
"Belloq." Indy scolded.
"Dr. Jones." Belloq replied "And Miss Do."
"I knew you were ugly," Daring replied with a smug "but I didn't think you'd be uglier." both Marion and Indy burst into laughter. Belloq was still in his suit with a more casual looking hat, but his face was covered with many lumps & stitches."
"Indeed." he deadpanned. "I would've killed you all by now, but this isn't a private place for murder."
"These Arabs don't care if we kill each other." Indy added "They're not going to interfere with our business."
"It was not I who brought her into business."
"You technically did." Daring replied "I asked her for it, she gave it to me, your men came in & burned her place down, and we're now here."
"Cute, loyal, and smart." Marion spoke, scratching behind Daring's ear. Daring leaned her head into Marion's hand, and her right back leg kicked adorably.
"... yes... she sure is." Belloq deadpanned again. "It is interesting. Dr. Jones, on how odd that it should end like this way for us, after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it."
"We won't." Marion replied
"Don't worry Belloq," Indy said, leaning back into his chair "I'll be fine without an adversary that's too lazy to find riches themselves." Both Daring and Marion covered their mouths with an 'Ooh' expression. Belloq stared at Indy with rage.
"You and I are very much alike." he stated "Archaeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the purer faith. Our methods are not different as much as you pretend."
"*Cough*Lazy!*Cough*" Daring fake coughed.
"I'm a shadowy reflection of you. It'll only take a small nudge to push you to be like me."
"Well I have someone looking up to me." Indy replied, carrying Daring Do and placing her on his lap.
"You know it's true."
"...We're done here!" Marion yelled, getting up from her seat. The people around them got up and pulled their weapons on the group! Sallah's kids arrived, surrounding Marion and Indy, as the smallest (and probably youngest) child gently picked up Daring Do.
"Next Time, Indiana Jones," Belloq replied with a smirk "it'll take more than children to save you and your partner's lives" Daring turned around and stuck her tongue out at Belloq. They exited the place and found Sallah near his truck.
"I knew you were in there!" Sallah cheered "They're much better than the U.S. Marines, right?"
"Much better!" Marion added, lifting one of the kids into the truck.
"Where are we going?" Daring asked.
"To my friend who can help us!" Sallah answered. Everyone got into the truck and drove away.
