My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship - Reboot
Chapter 18: Chapter 13: Passing of the Torch - An Author in Ponyville
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"A.K. Yearling is coming over for a visit?" Pharynx asked Rainbow Dash as the Pegasus was moving a few things.
"Yep. Me and my friends sort of helped her a bit ago." Rainbow Dash said.
"I did notice that a Pegasus mare on the latest copy of 'Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny' looked exactly like you alongside Daring Do." Pharynx said. "But really, the chances that Daring Do is a real pony are--" He started before the doorbell rung. "...She's here already?" Pharynx asked.
Rainbow Dash opened the door, and in walked A.K. Yearling. "Your a little early." Rainbow Dash said.
Strange, I'm not sensing a cloudwalking spell. But then again, she probably is a pegasus underneath all of that clothing. It's probably just me jumping to conclusions. After all, the chances of her being Daring Do are-- Pharynx's thought process was interrupted by another ring of the doorbell.
"Were you expecting some pony besides me Dash?" A.K. Yearling asked.
"That has to be Scoots." Rainbow Dash said and opened the door. "Hey there squirt, you doing okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. Everything's fine. It's just that I didn't expect you'd have A.K. Yearling over. When I found out, I just HAD to make sure I did extra well in school today so everything would go great." Scootaloo said. "Oh, also I did hear your going to be the judge for the Flag Carrying Contest." She added.
"Oh, is that for the upcoming Equestria Games? I don't do big events like that. Considering well...you know." A.K. Yearling said.
"Yeah. I know." Rainbow Dash said. "By the way, this is my daughter, Scootaloo." She added.
"It's nice to meet you." Scootaloo said. But then once she was close, she gasped. "N-no bucking way!" The orange pegasus said.
"What? Is there something wrong with my--" A.K. Yearling started.
"YOUR DARING DO! DARING DO IS REAL!" Scootaloo yelled out.
"What?! I know Ponyville is like a crazy magnet, but the odds of A.K. Yearling being Daring Do are--" Pharynx said.
"I swear I didn't tell her!" Rainbow suddenly let out.
"...Say what now?" Pharynx asked.
"I doubt you did. But wow, a filly as young as you saw past it, huh?" A.K. Yearling asked.
"CAN SOME PONY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IN TARTARUS IS GOING ON?!" Pharynx exclaimed.
"There's also that." A.K. Yearling said. "Should I just show him?" She asked.
"Well seeing as Scootaloo managed to see past your disguise..." Rainbow Dash said.
"Disguise? Rainbow, the odds A.K. Yearling is Daring Do are--" Pharynx started again before A.K. Yearling threw off her clothes, but put on a pitch hat. "--Are...are..." The male changeling had no choice but to see the proof for himself: A.K. Yearling WAS Daring Do.
"Higher than you think." Daring Do said.
"...And now I faint..." Pharynx said before doing just that.
"I had a feeling Daring Do had to be a real pony after the recent book release. I mean, sure mom's name was changed in the release, but c'mon, I know my mother enough to recognize her anywhere at this point." Scootaloo said.
"Heh. You're a smart kid." Daring Do said. "But what's this about her calling you mom?" She asked.
"Yeah...funny story..." Rainbow Dash said before she just showed Daring Do her dairy.
It took an hour for Daring Do to wrap her head around Scootaloo being Rainbow Dash's daughter. "So, you have no clue which pegasus is her father?" Daring Do asked.
"Yeah. I was so drunk, that I swear I had sex with three different stallions that day. Any one of them could be Scootaloo's father." Rainbow Dash said.
"It would explain why she has underdeveloped wings if you were buzzed when you got pregnant." Daring Do said.
"Yeah. I'm thinking of asking Twilight to see if she can figure out the mystery." Rainbow Dash said.
"Come to think of it, I wonder if it has anything to do with my irk?" Phayrnx asked.
"Your...irk? I don't follow." Daring Do said.
"For some reason, Pharynx has an irk whenever he thinks of me and the Wonderbolts. But I doubt any of them would be that irresponsible. Of course, if one turned out that way, I'd take Princess Luna's offer up on the spot and forget about the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash said.
"Come to think of it, didn't Spitfire say she'd follow and become the manager of that flight team if something caused her to doubt the Wonderbolts?" Scootaloo asked.
"No wonder you idolize her." Daring Do said. "You and her are practically the same really." She added.
"Is there a reason for your visit though? Besides just wanting to come by?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Ah. Well, I'm not exactly sure how to put this..." Daring Do said.
"Wait, are you going to say your my birth mother? Because Dad always had these girlfriends around. None of them were my actual mom though." Rainbow Dash said.
"OH PLEASE! The chances of Daring Do being your mother are--" Pharynx said.
"Actually, that is exactly what I was going to say." Daring Do said.
"WAIT WHAT?!" Pharynx exclaimed.
"You should learn to not open your mouth." Rainbow Dash said.
Daring Do looked at her daughter curiously. "Your...not mad?" Daring Do asked.
"Maybe a little, but holding onto that is not the best to do. I've gone up against an evil alicorn, had my mind warped by a spirit of chaos, and gotten my destiny mixed up because of an incomplete spell. I think I can handle learning that Daring Do is my bio mom." Rainbow Dash said.
"Wait, if Daring Do is your mother...THEN THAT MEANS DARING DO IS MY GRAND MOTHER?!" Scootaloo exclaimed before fainting.
"...I think we just broke her." Rainbow Dash said.
"Indeed..." Daring Do said.
