Author's Notes:

The title may have dropped in the first chapter, but this one of few "slice of life" chapters.

Daring Do and Rainbow Dash were packed up and heading out to the Frozen North, and on the train, the two had a conversation on the Friendship Express in the V.I.P. Car which is soundproofed.

"I can't believe that you get to ride in your own soundproof car..." Daring Do said, shedding her disguise for the moment. "What's more, no one is allowed in or out without your say-so." She added.

"Kind of awesome huh? I normally don't ride in this car, as I don't like being treated any different then anypony else; but for this sort of thing where I don't want anyone else to hear us talking about your double identity where we can hang out and be with one another without interference...it's a perk I'm willing to indulge on for this journey." Rainbow Dash said.

"I see." Daring Do said.

"And don't worry about the guards to the car; they are in the loop about your secret, and are under orders from Twilight to keep quiet about it." Rainbow Dash said.

"You keep calling the princess of all of Equestria just Twilgiht and not Princess Twilight like everyone else does." Daring Do said.

"She doesn't want me or any of our friends like Pinkie Pie to be calling her by her full title. Especially friends like Pinkie Pie and I, as we were the bearers of the Elements of Harmony before King Sombra destroyed them and the Tree of Harmony." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm also a part of the Council of Friendship, which is another thing entirely." She added.

"Ah...right. I forget that you and the princess are really good friends. I just don't know if I could ever reach that kind of level with anyone but you, Rainbow Dash." Daring Do said.

"I...beg your pardon?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"What I mean to say is, I've been alone for so long before I met you. And then I met you. Your not so different from myself, and I think that's why we clicked so well and became such good friends." Daring Do said.

"Question for you: Which are you more into, stallions or mares?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Ask me again when this is all over." Daring Do said.

"Fine. Then I won't answer the question myself until this is all over either. Let's talk about some other things. In fact, why don't I tell you about some of the adventures I had with Twilight and my other friends before the Battle of the Bell." Rainbow Dash said.

"This I'd love to hear." Daring Do said.

"Great. Let me begin by telling out about the Eternal Night event first. So, there I was clearing the clouds..." Rainbow Dash started off with their first adventure ever.

"...And that's why Tempest Shadow is now captain of Twilight's personal Royal Guard Squad." Rainbow Dash said, finishing up the tale of the Friendship Festival.

"So her real name is Fizzlepop Berrytwist then?" Daring Do said.

"Yes. But if you call Captain Tempest that, she will give you one of her death glares." Rainbow Dash said. "She only lets Twilight call her that. And frankly, I don't mind calling her Tempest Shadow. I think her alias name which she uses when she's on duty or around others is more awesome anyways. And trust me, she's an awesome mare. But she's also not really someone for me." She finished.

"I can tell. I do here your being trained to becoming the next Wonderbolt captain though." Daring Do said.

"Yeah. As much as I love going on another adventure with you, this was supposed to be my last week receiving that training. But what can you do right? Besides, this will be child's play for the two of us. Caballeron has no chance against me and you Daring. I'm a future Wonderbolt captain whose beat bad guys like him before breakfast; meanwhile your an adventure whose battled and defeated Ahuizotl numerus times. If Caballeron thinks he can get to the sacred treasures before we can, then he's lost his marbles." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, and don't worry, I don't mind having to wait the extra week. This is more important." She added quickly.

"It's fine. You've really mellowed out since joining the Wonderbolts full time." Daring Do said.

"Meh...I still am a bit brushful here and there." Rainbow Dash said. "But I will admit, I never thought I would actual become captain of the Wonderbolts. My goal was only to settle for being a member of the Wonderbolts. Nothing higher. So imagine my surprise when Spitfire tells me she talked to the board of directors who signed off on her decision to make me the next captain." She said. "I was super excited about it, and while I do have to undergo special training before I take the captain's seat, it's the best thing ever. And what's more, Spitfire and the board of directors agreed that I've earned it. And it's not just because I've saved Equestria so many times, but also because of how far I've come since joining the bolts." Rainbow Dash said.

"That means you'll have more time off to see your friends right?" Daring Do said.

"Not at the beginning at first, but at some point, I will be able to do whatever I want after running the academy students through their paces when I'm not having to work on routines." Rainbow Dash said. "So yeah, eventually I will be able to hang out with everyone, but I can deal with it. I'm not going to leave anyone hanging. Especially you Daring. In fact, I pinkie promise that when I'm able to, you'll be at the top of my list for who I want to hang out with." She said before doing the motions. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Rainbow Dash said along with the motions.

"I'll hold you to that then." Daring Do said. And that means a lot to me... She thought to herself.
