//------------------------------// // First Morning in a New World // Story: My Little Digimon, Courage is Magic // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// As was usual in Equestria Princess Celestia raised the sun, and with it's rising a new morning began. Unknown to her this morning was special. For it was the digidestined and their partner digimon's first morning in the land of Equestria. Twilight was always the first one up in the morning considering she was something of a creautre of habbit, she often planned things out in advance and panicked whenever things didn't go according to her schedule. Today however she had no schedule. She had been so absorbed with meeting the digidestined and their respective partner digimon that she had completly forgotten to plan out a schedule. Normally this would have sent her into panic mode, but after her talk with Tai the last night, where she had poured out everything that had been on her mind, she seemed to feel more refreshed. She no longer felt like she needed a schedule for everything, and this was one of those things that didn't require a schedule. Plus she'd been working on trying to control her panic attacks considering how much harm they'd caused in the past. Tai awoke not long afterward. He immediately asked a question. "Do you have a bathroom or some place that I can freshen up in?" he asked Twilight. Twilight pointed towards a door at the end of a long hallway on the ground floor. It was blue with a picture of a yellow moon and stars painted on it. "Thanks." Tai said "Oh by the way I know you ponies don't normally wear clothers but do you do laundry?' "Once in a while yes." Twilight answered "I've kept a couple of outfits for places or events where formal attire might be needed. And I've kept two dresses made for me by Rarity for special occassions, that I've worn every now and then." "Well in that case could you please wash my clothes for me?" Tai asked "Since the only duds I'm going to be wearing while I stay in Equestria are the ones I have on me now I'm going to need them to stay fresh. It's not like I have a suitcase full of outfits or anything like that." "I'll see what I can do." Twilight said "You just leave the clothes in the laundry basket and I'll collect them and wash them for you." "Good." Tai said "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to hit the shower. If Agumon should wake up just tell him I'll be a while." And with that Tai headed for the bathroom. Not long afterward Tai was in the shower and Twilight was busy washing Tai's clothes. She'd just put them in the drier (yes ponies did have driers in Equestria) when a voice called out "So you ponies do laundry huh? Well this world just keeps on surprising me." "Oh good morning Izzy." Twilight said "These clothers aren't mine. You see Tai's in the shower right now and he asked me to wash his clothes. He figured that since he's going to be staying in Equestria he's going to need these to stay fresh." "It's times like this that make me glad I don't have to worry about clothes or baths." Tentomon said "Whenever my skin gets dirty I just shed it and that's that." "Yes well you just make sure that doesn't happen while you're sleeping with me in this place." Izzy said "It happened once before back on Earth and needless to say it wasn't a very pleasant experience." "I said I was sorry." Tentomon said "Anyway where's Agumon?" "Oh he's still asleep last I checked." Twilight said "Did either of you sleep good last night? I know that the basment bed isn't that comfortable but it sure beats sleeping on the hard floor." "Well it wasn't the best sleep I've ever had but it was decent." Izzy said "I've had worse." "I slept like a log." Tentomon said "And I'm pretty sure Agumon slept well." "Do you think we should wake him up?" Twilight asked as she levitated the dried clothes out of the drier. "Nah. I say let him sleep." Izzy said "By the way how did you do that?" "Do what?" Twilight asked. "What you just did with the laundry." Izzy asked. "Magic." Twilight said "All unicorns can do it." "Unicorns?" Izzy asked, he was confused. "I'll explain later when we meet up with my friends." Twilight said. Agumon awoke soon afterward. And Twilight took the liberty of reintroducing him to Spike. Surprisingly enough the two hit it off instantly. While the two took the time to chat Twilight decided to deliver Tai's clothes to him. She knocked on the bathroom door. "It's me Twilight." she said "I finished washing and drying your clothes." "Well come on in and deliver them." Tai said from the other side of the door. "Oh o.k." Twilight said nervously as she turned the knob on the door and began to open it. "Don't be nervous." Tai said "I'm wearing a towel. I'm not stupid." Needless to say this satement calmed Twilight immensely. Once Tai had been dressed and emerged from the bathroom Twilight set to work on making him, Izzy, their parnter digimon Agumon and Tentomon, and Spike breakfast. At Carousel Boutique Rarity was already awake. After taking the time to make herself look presentable she trotted over to the bedroom that T.K. and Kari were sharing along with their partner digimon Patamon and Gatomon. She was just about to enter when she heard some rather, intresting things. "Ooh. T.K. I could use your help with this." Kari said. "Are you sure?" T.K. asked. "Yes, I'm positive." Kari said. "Well, alright here I come." T.K. said. "Please be gentle." Kari said. "I'll be as gentle as I can." T.K. said. "Alright where is it?" "Go lower." Kari said. "If you say so." T.K.said "Is that good?" "A little lower." Kari said. "How bout now?" T.K. asked "Is that good?" "Yeah. That feels really good T.K." Kari said "But could you go a little faster?" "I'll see what I can do." T.K. said. "Oh yeah! Right there, that's the spot!" Kari said. "Oh man that feels so good!" "You're telling me." T.K. said "I still can't believe I'm doing this." "Just a little more T.K.!" Kari said. "Please!" "Alright since you asked nicely." T.K. said "Is that good enough for you Kari or do you want more?" "That's enough T.K." Kari said happily "I knew I could count on you to do this." "Hey, don't menton it." T.K. said "I'm sure you would have done the same for me if the roles were reversed." Despite being a little bit disturbed at what she'd just heard Rarity put on a brave face. She turned the doorknob with her magic and slowly began to open the door. What she saw surprised her. There were Kari and T.K., sitting next to each other on the bed. Kari's shirt was lifted up to show her back. Both Kari and T.K. seemed really happy and T.K. did not appear to be at all tired or worried. Something was up. "Just what were you two doing?" Rarity asked. "Oh, well you see, the thing is." T.K. said suddenly looking ashamed. "Come on now T.K. it was nothing to be ashamed of." Kari said "I got a really bad back itch that I just couldn't reach, and T.K.. here was kind enough to scratch it for me." "Is that all you were doing?" Rarity asked suddenly feeling ashamed for jumping to conclusions. "Yes that's all." Kari said "What did you think we were doing?" "Oh why nothing darlings." Rarity said "I must say you two must really trust each other to do something like that." "Yeah and that's why I think T.K.'s the best boyfriend a girl could have. Isn't that right T.K.?" Karisaid as she kissed him. "Aw shucks, it's nothing really." T.K. said trying and failing to hide his blush. "Yes well now that that's settled what do you say to breakfast? I'm pretty sure I could wip something up for all of us." Rarity said. "Breakfast does sound good." Kari said. "YAY BREAKFAST!" shouted a sweet but high pitched voice. The voice was so loud that it woke Patamon and Gatomon with a start because both of them had very senesitive hearing. "What was that?" they asked. Both of them were more frightened than upset at being woken up. As if to answer their question a small female pony, or a filly as they were called trotted into view. She looked almost exactly like Rarity, except she had a light purple mane and tail that were not done up in a curl. "Aw. who's this cutie?" Kari asked. "This is my little sister Sweetie Belle." Rarity said "Now Sweetie Belle how many do I have to tell you not to shout so loudly in the morning?" "Sorry Rarity." Sweetie Belle "I'm just so excited." she looked at T.K., Kari, Patamon, and Gatomon. "Hey who are those weird creatures, and what are they doing in your house Rarity?" "These are our new friends Sweetie Belle." Rarity said "The two tall ones are called T.K. and Kari, and the two smaller ones are called Patamon and Gatomon." "They're really funny looking for ponies sis." Sweetie Belle said. "Actually we're not ponies." T.K. said. "Kari and I are human beings. And Patamon and Gatomon are digimon which stands for digital monster." "M-monster?" Sweetie Belle said her usual cheerful tone replaced with a more fearful one. "Don't worry these so called 'monsters' are friendly Sweetie Belle." Rarity assured her. "They won't hurt you." "Yeah but you sure hurt our ears." Patamon said. "Sorry." Sweetie Belle said. "Well now, as I was saying before why don't I make us all breakfast?" Rarity asked. "Are you sure you can handle making food for all six of us?" Kari asked. "I'm pretty sure." Rarity said "But you're more than welcome to help out if you'd like." "Well then I'd be glad to assist you Rarity." Kari said "I'm a pretty good cook myself." "Are you?" Rarity asked "Because if you are then perhaps later today you could give Sweetie Belle some cooking lessons. She's been improving a little bit, but she could really use some help. And I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to teach her myself." "I'm sure she can't be as bad as my mom." Kari said "And to be fair she's not really that bad of a cook. She just insists on trying all these new recipes. The less said about those the better." Inside Sugarcube Corner Sora awoke to the sound of random noises coming from upstairs. "It must be Pinkie Pie." she thought to herself. She could see Yolei was waking up too as were their partners. "What's all that noise?" Yolei asked. "I don't know but we're going to find out." Sora said. And with that she, Yolei, Biyomon, and Hawkmon made their way upstairs. They found the noise was coming from the nursery. They remembered last night that Pinkie Pie had introduced them to the Cakes Mr. and Mrs., and had then told them, after showing them to their room, to keep the noise to a minimum so that Pound and Pumpkin Cake could sleep. When they had asked who Pound and Pumpkin Cake were Pinkie Pie had said, they were the cutest foals she'd ever met. Needless to say Sora and Yolei had not expected to meet the foals so soon. Pinkie Pie had just finished up her daily morning funny face exercises on the twins when Sora, Yolei, Biyomon and Hawkmon came in. "What are you doing?" Yolei asked. "I'm just practicing my funny faces on Pound and Pumpkin Cake, trust me they like it. Isn't that right?" Pinkie Pie asked. Pound and Pumpkin Cake giggled in response. Pinkie Pie smiled as well but it faded as she moved to pick them up. "What's wrong Pinkie Pie?" Yolei asked. Before Pinkie Pie could answer Sora scopped the foals up in her arms. "I'll bet I know." she said "It's changing time isn't it?" Pinkie Pie nodded in response. "Leave it to me." Sora said. She carried Pound and Pumpkin Cake over to the changing table. She undid their diapers and threw them into the trash. After carefully wiping and powdering them, she slid new diapers under them and strapped them up. "There we go." Sora said as she lifted the foals off the changing tables. "Wow, that fast!" Pinkie Pie said "Even Mr. and Mrs. Cake could never move as fast as you did." "That's because Sora is a babysitting pro." Biyomon said. "Yep." Sora said "I use to babysit a lot back on Earth. And it looks like I haven't lost my touch." "Glad to hear that." Pinkie Pie said "When I have to foalsit these two again I'll make sure to keep you close by." "Thanks Pinkie Pie." Sora said. "Now waddya say we all go downstairs and eat breakfast?" Pinkie Pie said. "You go on ahead and get everything ready, I'll join you after I wash my hands." Sora said as she left the nursery . Applejack, Matt, and Gabumon were already wide awake. Applejack had woken up Matt with little trouble. Matt was a little unhappy at being woken up earlier than he would've liked, but he quickly got over it once Applejack explained that the Apple Family as a whole was use to waking up with the sun. They entered the barn and found that aside from Davis everyone was already awake. "Davis always was a heavy sleeper." Armadillomon said. "Yeah and he snores too." Wormmon said. "Guess it's up to us to wake him up." Cody said. "Just leave it to me." Veemon said "Davish never really likes being woken up but I'm sure he won't mind too much if I'm the one doing it." "Actually I've a got a better idea." Applejack said, she whispered it to the others. "Are you sure that's safe?" Ken asked. "Of course it's safe." Applejack said "The hay will give him a nice soft landing." "Couldn't you just poke him until he wakes up?" Matt asked. "I could, but this way is a lot more fun for me. Plus it gives me a chance to practice my lassoing skills." Applejack said. And with that the farmpony hurled her trusty lasso that had never failed her. Sure enough it hit its target. Applejack pulled hard and Davis slowly began to be dragged out of his sleeping bag. Applejack kept pulling until Davis was close to the edge of the second floor. "O.k. here goes. One, two, three!" Applejack said and pulled one last time on her lasso. Davis fell into the haybale with a light thud. "Hey!" he said "Why did you have to do that?!" "Sorry sugarcube." Applejack said trying to contain her laughter "But would you rather have slept in and missed breakfast?" "O.k. you got me there." Davis said "But don't ever do that again." "I'll try not to sugarcube." Applejack said "Now come on I've got to introduce you all to my family." The guys and their digimon didn't need to be told twice and they filed out of the barn. Applejack paused for a moment once outside. The barn held sentimental value to her even though it had only just now been built. She had accidentally demolished the old barn during the last Apple Family reunion, and that had been the point where she realize she'd been trying too hard to make the the reunion memorable for all the Apples who attended. So in order to make up for it she had proposed that all the Apples pitch in to help raise the barn. She'd even made up a little song that she had sung with all the Apples to help make the work more fun. A tear formed in her eye as she thought back to that fond memory which was still recent. As a matter of fact it had taken place the day before Twilight had accidentally brought the digidestined and their partner digimon to Equestria. Looking up to the sky she said to no one in particular "I sure do miss ya ma and pa. I wish you could be here to see this. I just hope that wherever you are now that you're proud of me." "Yo Applejack! You coming?" Davis asked. "Yeah I'm coming." Applejack said "I just had some 'family business' to take care of." Fluttershy, Mimi, and Joe had already woken up and had eaten breakfast. Mimi and Joe were impressed at all the animals that Fluttershy was currently looking after. They ranged from tiny little animals like birds and squirrels to big behemoths like a grizzly bear. Fluttershy reassured them that he was harmless and that he was only here for his weekly massage therapy. Gomamon found himself quickly befriending the seals and otters that swam in the pond that went around and under Fluttershy's house. Palmon on the other hand was not so lucky. "Mimi, a little help here please!" she said. Mimi came rushing over. Palmon was being pulled by her roots by a couple of Fluttershy's smaller animals. Apparently they mistook her for an actual plant. "Come on now leave Palmon alone." Mimi said kindly "She's a living being too you know. She has feelings and right now she's not feeling very happy so please leave her alone." The animals only had to take one look at Mimi's face and they instantly abandoned any ideas that involved Palmon. They all went to go do what they normally did. Joe and Fluttershy had watched the whole thing. Fluttershy was surprised that her animals had been so quick to obey a stranger, but Joe had known Mimi for a long time and he knew that her pretty looks were capable of bending anyone or anything she wanted. Fortunately she often used it for the good of others, and not for herself. Joe sighed. "What's the matter Joe?" Fluttershy asked "Do you want to talk about it. If you don't want to you don't have to." "It's Mimi." Joe said "I mean just look at her. She's so sweet, she beautiful on the outside and the inside, she's got such a lovely voice both in singing and in general, and she's always sincere. Any guy would be luckly to have her." "Are you crushing on her?" Fluttershy asked "Oh sorry, I probably shouldn’t have asked." "No it's fine." Joe said "But the thing is Mimi and I are childhood friends. I was even the camp counselor at a summer camp she attended once. For a time I thought she and I might actually have something but after our first visit to the digital world I started becoming intrested in being a doctor, and my studies gave me very little free time. And in the meantime Mimi's folks had to move to New York and she had to go with them. And well we just kind of drifited apart. I hear she's been seeing this American digidestined boy named Michael a lot lately and I'm happy for her. But I guess a part of me just isn't willing to accept that she's moved on." "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that." Fluttershy said "If it makes you feel any better my first relationship ended on a relatively similar note. I became intrested in Applejack's brother Big Macintosh and for a time I thought we were really going to be together forever, I mean we had a lot in common. But as time passed Big Macintosh and I started seeing each other less and less, until finally Big Macintosh said things wouldn't work out between us, but that we could still be friends. I've heard that he's currently dating Cheerilee the school teacher. And I'm happy for him, believe me it took a long time for me to accept that Big Macintosh had moved on. Luckly my friends were able to cheer me up and help me get over it and I'm sure your friends will help you do the same." "Thanks Fluttershy." Joe said "Gomamon was the only other being I'd trust with something like this but I know he'd never understand." "Don't mention it." Fluttershy said "By the way you said you were studying to become a doctor right?" "Yes. why do you ask?" Joe said. "Because I think I might have a task that I'll need your help with. And Mimi could help too." Fluttershy said. Fluttershy led Joe and Mimi up to her bedroom. "The patient is right over there." Fluttershy said. The "patient " was a rabbit. Fluttershy's pet rabbit Angel Bunny to be exact. "Um I really don't think I can help you out Fluttershy." Joe said "I'm studying to become a human doctor not a veterinarian." "Oh I know." Fluttershy said "And I think I already know what the problem is but I figured I'd get a second opinion from a professional before I did anything. You see Angel has been walking funny lately and wimpers whenever he moves his right foot. I think it might be broken but I want to be sure before I do anything." "Well I'll see what I can do." Joe said as he approached Angel. Angel hid under Fluttershy's bed. "Hey it's o.k., don't be shy little guy. I'm not gonna hurt ya." Angel refused to move. "Here let me try." Mimi said "It's o.k. Angel, Joe's not going to hurt you. He's going to make you feel better. But he can't do that unless he gets a good look at your leg. Now come on, your leg certainly won't get any better hiding under the bed." To Joe's surprise Angel came out from hiding and walked as best as he good towards Joe. Joe scooped Angel up in his arms and throughly examined Angel's right leg. "Well I can't do any sort of x-ray to confirm but from what I can see this leg is definatly broken no mistake about that. I'd recommend an operation to fix the bone. And then avoid putting too much presure on that right foot until it heels." "I'll be sure to do that right away." Fluttershy said "As a matter of fact I can probably fix Angel's bunny leg myself. But thanks for your help." "It was nothing." Mimi and Joe said at the same time. There was an akward silence between the two. Joe broke the silence "Right. Well I'd better go see what Gomamon's been up to in my abscene. I hope he hasn't gotten himself into trouble." And with that Joe left the cottage. To his relief he found Gomamon resting on the surface of the pond. "Well that's got to be the longest Gomamon has gone without causing any trouble." he thought to himself. What about Rainbow Dash you ask, well without any digiestined around her morning was nothing out of the ordinary, although she longed to show her new friends just what she could do. But of course she knew that would have to wait until after the party Pinkie Pie was surely going to throw for their new friends.
