"So why do you seem so distant? You're supposed to be helping me feel better about playing the game, right?" Cloud said, looking around to Daring's face. He spoke with equal measures of sarcasm and genuine concern, smiling all the same.

Daring gave a short deep sigh. "I wanted to imagine how it would be going on a real adventure, but I can't stop thinking about the whole lore thing."

"Yeah, I caught that you started getting distracted by that. But you can also get points in lore later, after you've leveled up. So I wouldn't let it bug you too much." Cloud said with a grin.

"It's not that." Daring said sighing again. "I want to be an adventurer, a real one going on real adventures. But I never thought that history may play such a big part in that dream. And I really, really, really hate history!"

"Hmm." Cloud hummed to himself, "How about this. We can use this game as a bit of an experiment. We can see just how important history is to adventuring." Cloud offered.

"I'm not naive Cloud." Daring told him. "The game already made me realize how important it will be. I mean, let's say I want to go search for a long lost treasure. Then I need to know about the unicorn tribe's lost magical forge. And I need to know that it was stolen by gremlins who lived in tunnels on top of the frozen mountains. And that the gremlins were chased away by trolls, but the forge was never found. That's a lot of history. I just never thought about it like that since I already know where I want to go. But I don't know everywhere I want to go."

"Well, then what's the holdup? I'm not sure how I can help." Cloud said shrugging.

"I don't see how you can help either." Daring sighed yet again. "Look, my dad forced me to learn history. More history than they teach you here in school. I know my history, everything from the three tribes to Celestia's eleven deeds. But I hate history. I always thought that once I'm out there adventuring I'd be free from it forever. But that's fine, at least it will help me adventure more, I can live with that. But the worst thing, THE worst thing! What if my dad finds out I suddenly have an interest in history?"

"Then don't tell him. It's his own fault for making it's such a difficult subject for you guys to share." Cloud said, thinking a directly indirect approach.

"It's not that easy." Daring told Cloud. "He may spend most of his time in a stuffy room, but he's very sharp. It's like not telling him you didn't do your homework. Impossible. And do you know what he'll do if he finds out? Do you?"

"No, but I feel like you're about to tell me." Cloud said with a nonchalant grin.

"He's going to lock me up in the basement, filled from side to side with books." Daring said staring into space. "He's going to push my food through a flap in the door so I never get disturbed. And the worst of all is he'll do it thinking he's doing me a favor, that he's being a good dad. That's what's going to happen to me."

Cloud sighed, stopped, and put a hoof on Daring's shoulder, turning her so they faced each other, "I can't believe your story. Where's your proof? If you can prove it then we can work on something, otherwise, we've got to get you over this basement fear. It's just not healthy." he said raising an eyebrow.

"How am I suppose to proof it?" Daring asked. "Wait until I'm locked up forever? I thought you were my friend, not a lawyer. What do you think I do whenever I have to go back home? My dad keeps me in the study reading all day long. If I didn't sneak away every change I got I'd go crazy."

"Well, what if I talk with him?" He can't do much worse to Mr then I've already experienced." Cloud offered, wanting to be there for her but not knowing how.

"You want to talk to my dad? When my mom and I can't even get through to him?" Daring asked. "Now you're being crazy. What are you going to tell him?"

Maybe I could interest him with my intellect? Out my past. I could say that I would help you learn history in his stead." He said mostly throwing ideas out there.

Daring shook her head. "No, I already tried that one, he didn't fall for it."

"can'tI could ponynap you?" He said both completely serious but not stifling a smile.

"Hm?" Daring said thinking. "If you ponynap me Dad would probably get Celestia to send guards after you, but you could do your time jump thing and you'd be safe. Oh, who am I kidding. I would have ran away a long time ago if I wanted to. I don't want to hurt my mom or dad. I just want my dad to realize I like adventuring a lot more than history. But if I tell him I'm okay with history he'll take it too far, like he always do. I still hate it though and I hate the way he forces it on me. But I don't hate him."

"How long do we have? I have an idea but I'll have to move my timetable forward for it." Cloud said, thinking hard now.

"Until your dad figures out your interest in history?" Cloud clarified.

"If I can help it, never." Daring said. "Ugh! But it makes everything so complicated. I have to try not to get angry at him for forcing me to study, I have to make sure he doesn't found out about this and I have to work on my dream without him knowing. I'd take any training with Tornado over that."

"I just arrive back at school the other day." Daring told him. "So yeah, I wont be going back to Canterlot for a while. What's going on in your devious little head anyway?"

"No no no, trust me on this. Worse case scenario is that still end up locked in a room reading history books come the end of it. I'll take a lot of time planning to reduce rick to you and your family." Cloud said, intent on not telling her anything.

"I don't know." Daring said. "Yeah, I'm pretty bummed out about this, but I've always dealt with my family alone. When it comes down to it, it's a family matter."
