Chapter One: The Legend BeginsMy name is Dashe. It's not my name by birth, but the same could be said for nearly every citizen of the Mega Man Legends Station Forums regarding their username. This story is about who I am, what I do in life, and my destiny, if you can call it that. Be prepared for a great story, for this story will be full of action, adventure, death, betrayal, caffeine, and the occasional bout of indigestion. Note: This is a spoof of "The Chronicles of Dragge." I have been given permission by the author to spoof it. Just thought I'd clear it up.

Haha, can't wait. As soon as I saw the title I knew this would be fun.

Chapter Two: Dashe Gets a Mega Man Legends Station AccountIn the spring of 2004, two friends named Silver and Dashe wrote a fanfic and submitted it to Mega Man Legends Station. It was entitled "Teisel Bonne versus the Map." The premise was simple: The map from Dora the Explorer makes Teisel go crazy and blow things up. Little did they know, the former would never visit the site again and virtually tumble into Legends Station Oblivion, while the latter would rise to a position of power and prestige, and eventually gain the keys to the fandom itself. "Okay Silver, this is it. I will create an account on this site and join the forums!" Dashe exclaimed. The two of them were chatting over tea and wondering what the Legends community thought of the fic. "You must be crazy! That site is probably full of crazed computer nerds. Count me out, forums aren't really my thing anyway." Silver scoffed. Dashe shrugged. "What harm could it do?" She replied casually. "I sign up, post some stuff, and leave. People do it all the time. It's not like I'm making some sort of life commitment just by registering for an account here." *~*~*~*~* That evening, Dashe clicked the "Register" button. In doing so, she triggered a sequence of events that would change the course of Legends Fandom history forever.

This could actually be pretty funny. I'm going to keep an eye on this.

^Yes! So have I. The pronounciation of Dashe's name is something that's plagued me since I first joined here. Good work, Dash-EE, I look forward to reading the rest. Everything's funny so far.

Actually, it's just "Dash". Go ahead, ask her yourself, she'll say the same thing. It's why Green called her "Miss Dashe" back when he was under his Quint! name... Though personally, I just say "Dash-A".

How much of this story is(/is going to be) real? xD It's very amusing. ;D More I say!!! A disproportionate sidenote: Actually, it's just "Dash". Go ahead, ask her yourself, she'll say the same thing. It's why Green called her "Miss Dashe" back when he was under his Quint! name... You couldn't be wronger if you tried.
I've always pronounced it with a long ‘e’ sound. In truth, it's one of those things that, while I've known it would make sense to pronounce it “Dash,” I pronounce the ‘e’ anyway. I don't like thinking of it like “Dashy” though, because that's not quite how it sounds in my mind. I think of it more like “Dash” + “she” with the former ending and the latter beginning squished together; like pronouncing the two words as one would separately, but as one word. And the pronunciation of the “she” part emphasizes the fact that Dashe is female. ;D (Crappy reasoning, for the lose.)
I called Dashe “Miss Dashe”(and, by the way, I still call her that ;D) for the sole purpose of doing something different and in doing so avoiding suspicion. There was no real special reasoning behind it; it was just something I thought up while trying to make my posts and whatnot seem different.

Yeah. Dashe = Dash
Simple, easy and to the point. No reason to drag it out to make it something it isn't. xD

Chapter 3: The Origin of Dashe's Nameor, "Dashe Properly Introduces Herself to MMLSYou are probably all wondering, "How do you pronounce the name "Dashe?" Well, that is just what I was coming to. Dashe decided to go on a posting spree before figuring out that there was an introduction thread floating around near the top of the forums. Once she properly introduced herself, a bunch of strange people (most notably a character named Bureaucratic Model 1-3), decided to bombard her about the proper pronunciation of her username. "Really guys, it's just pronounced " Dash" or " Daysh" if you look at it phonetically, but my mom calls me Dashie whenever I do something adorable," Dashe tried to explain. "Anyway, I'm really glad to be here and whatnot. Do I get any free bonuses for signing up?" The reigning Ban Happy Mod Squad, Blyka included, nervously glanced at each other. "Not really..." Feldinaut confessed. "If it's any consolation, you seem intelligent." Blyka added, never to add any conversation again for the duration of the epic tale. "Well, at least she thinks highly of this place," fab shrugged. "Maybe we can give her some armor or something to shut her up?" The mods shuffled off in search of something at least resembling armor. Paragon walked into Introductory Square. "Woah, I thought Dashe was a guy at first because of that username," He exclaimed. *~*~*~*~* fab returned to Introduction Square carrying a light suit of armor even Dashe could move around in. "This is the Dynamic Alloy Superduper Hydroresitant Experimental Armor." He explained. "The fact that the acronym for this free gift spells out your username is purely coincidental. In fact, this armor will never be mentioned again and is highly irrelevant to your inevitably short, and probably mediocre stay at these forums." "Um...thanks for the vote of confidence. I think." Dashe replied hesitantly. "Just make sure not to get it wet." fab warned. "But you said this stuff was Hydoresistant!" Dashe countered. "And everyone knows Hydroresistant isn't really a word according to the Microsoft Word Spell Check function." fab shrugged. "You should probably go post some stuff or something." And with that, the reigning admin of the forums left the square, unaware that the person he'd left alone to scrutinize the arbitrary D.A.S.H.E. armor would one day steal his admin position out from under his very nose.

I wonder if this was planned, or if Dashe just made it up fast.... @green: Looks like it's going to be half-real events, half-parody. Poor Blyka...
