“This little dance of ours is getting old, Ahuizotl!” Daring Do said, swiftly avoiding another spear.

“Curse you, Daring Do! And your little assistant too!”

“She´s not my assistant, she´s my friend!”

“Daring Do thinks I´m her friend! This is so exciting!” Rainbow Dash said, not paying attention to where she was flying. “First I get this cool new outfit and now this!”

“Rainbow, focus..:” Daring said, not amused.

“Oh right, you´re going down Ahuizotl, just like you did at the end of book three!”

“That's an exaggeration! I am not so clumsy I will trip on my own tail!” Ahuizotl claimed but his distraction gave time to Daring to pull said tail in front of his feets and make him trip.

“You were saying?” Daring smirked. “Rainbow, take the gold scepter, that will cause the fortress to fall apart!”

“Roger that!” Rainbow said and rushed to take it and, right on queue, the entire building began to go down.

Daring joined Rainbow and they were ready to leave the temple when she heard a grumble, she turned over and saw Ahuizotl clinging to a ledge while the floor collapsed.

“What are you doing?” Rainbow asked when she saw Daring coming back for him.

“I can't let him here!” she claimed and grabbed one of Ahuizotl´s hands.

Reluctantly, Rainbow helped her but she still said, “Realy? How many times has he leave you ina  death trap with no chance to escape?”

“We´ve to be better than him, kid. Besides, I always escape.”

After one daring rescue, Ahuizotl was left tied up and ready to be handled to the authorities.

“Seriously Ahuizotl, we need to stop this. I can't be chasing you my whole life,” Daring said.

“Bah!” was the villain answer.

“Come on Ahuizotl, you can be better than this. Think of all the ancient legends you know, you could be a great explorer if you stop trying to take over the world. Think about it, we can even team up once in awhile, search for some ancient treasure together…”

Rainbow Dash watched the whole conversation unfold and her eyes got bigger and bigger.

“Oh. My. Gosh.”

“Something's wrong, Rainbow?” Daring asked.

“It´s true. It´s totally true.”

Both Daring and Ahuizotl were very confused by then.

“You love Ahuizotl!”

“...WHAT?”

“I thought you were joking last time but now I see that you were being totally honest. You are in love with him!”

“What? that's...that´s not it! At all!”

“Oh my gosh, Twilight is going to freak out so much when I tell her this! She ships you with Caballeron which I don't understand because he´s like a hundred years older than you but you two, you are perfect match!”

Daring had by now turned into a completely red pegasus out of embarrassment.

“It has all the elements of a great romance and it´s about a redeeming villain which I totally don't have any experience because of a former griffon friend of mine but...OMG!”

Daring hit Rainbow with her hat, trying to suffocate her words. Unfortunately, that distraction gave Ahuizotl time to escape his ropes. He pushed both pegasus to the ground and jumped to a tall tree. Just as Daring was getting back up, a flower landed on her nose.

“Until we meet again...Daring, ”Ahuizotl said and disappeared on the trees.

“You two are my OTP,” Rainbow said while Daring hid inside her hat, wishing she could just disappear.
