//------------------------------// // A not so rude awakening // Story: My Little Digimon, Courage is Magic // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// Tai slowly began to open his eyes. He still felt very groggy. That fall even though it had been soft had taken a lot out of him. "Hey, he's waking up." called a voice. "Where is that voice coming from?" Tai thought to himself. He couldn't see anyone right now, he couldn't even see his partner Agumon although he knew for sure that Agumon had been pulled into the portal as well. "Rise and shine sleepy head." another voice called out "You feeling okay?" "Yeah, I think I will be." Tai said. "Well that's good. I was starting to get a little worried." the voice replied as the creature it belonged to came into view. Tai blinked, he rubbed his eyes, the figure was still there. He wasn't dreaming all right. This creature was unlike anything he had ever seen before. It was a horse, and not just any old horse, but a talking horse. The horse had a purple coat, a dark purple mane and tail boarding on blue with a violet pink skunk like stripe running down the middle. It's eyes were purple and it appeared to be female although Tai couldn't tell for sure. But the most unusual thing about it was that nestled in the horse's mane was a horn. It was the same color as the horse's coat. Now although Tai had seen many unusual things during his time as a digidestined this was something that even to him was completly weird. So naturally he did what anyone would do in his situation, panic! "Aaah!" he screamed "Get back you monster! Don't come any closer! I'm warning you! I have a fire breathing t-rex and I'm not afraid to use him!" "Oh relax silly." the horse replied in a definite female tone "I'm not going to hurt you." "Oh, you're not? But then why do you have a frickin horn sticking out of your head?" Tai said. "That's because I'm a unicorn." the horse replied in a not amused tone. "A unicorn, you've gotta be pulling my leg." Tai said "Everyone knows unicorns don't exist." "Yeah well I'm here now and I'm talking to you. How do you explain that?" the horse asked. "It's simple. This is all a dream and I'n still passed out from the fall." Tai replied. Without warning the horse trotted up to him and smacked him with her tail "Ow!" Tai said "What did you do that for?!" "To prove that you aren't dreaming!" the horse said "If this was a dream you wouldn't have felt that." "I think my friend Izzy would love to prove you wrong on that." Tai said. I'm not going to believe it until someone pinches me. "Wish granted." Agumon replied as he suddenly walked up to Tai and pinched him on the arm. "Ow! Agumon you've gotta trim your nails!" Tai said. "Well this proves you aren't dreaming." Agumon said. "O.k. so I was wrong, so sue me." Tai said. "What is that?" the horse asked. "Oh that. This is my parnter Agumon. What's wrong haven't you ever seen a digimon before?" Tai said. "A digimon?" the horse asked. "Guess I better explain." Tai said "Digimon is short for digital monster. Digimon are creatures that live in the digital world and evolve through a process called digivolution. Certain digimon like my old friend Agumon here are parnters to a group of children called the digidestined and it is their job to protect the real world and the digital world from harm. As I'm sure you can tell from that previous statement I am one of the digidestined and Agumon is my partner." "Oh that explains it." the horse said "I take it that the real world statment indicates that you're from another universe." "I guess so." Tai said "Speaking of which where I am, and who are you?" "You're in the land of Equestria, which is inhabited by ponies. My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Well nice to meet you Miss. Sparkle." Tai said. He always believed it was best to address strangers as Mr. or Miss. "Please just call me Twilight." Twilight said blushing a little. "Now then who are you?" "My name is Taichi Yagami Kamiya, but everyone calls me Tai." Tai said. "Well it's nice to meet you Tai." Twilight said "And it's nice to meet you too Agumon." "Any friend of Tai's is a friend of mine." Agumon replied. "Sa,y who's that purple dragon over there?" he said pointing towards a corner. "Oh, that's Spike, he's my number one assistant. He's technically a baby dragon. But don't say to his face, he'd probably take it as an insult." Twiligh said. "Hey Spike, come and say hi to our new friends Tai and Agumon." "Well it's nice to meet you Spike." Tai said "I must say you look a nice guy." "Thank you." Spike said "And it's nice to meet you Agumon." "Same to you Spike." Agumon replied. "By the way Tai you said you were a digidestined right?" Twilight asked. "Yes, why did you ask?" Tai said. "Because you're not the only one who's told me that." Twilight said pointing towards a nearby table. And seated there were all of Tai's fellow digidestined and their parnter digimon. "What are you all doing here?" Tai asked. "Waiting for you to wake up. What's it look like to you?" Matt replied.
