//------------------------------// // Muffins! (Uncensored) // Story: My Little Digimon, Courage is Magic // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// Izzy wasted no time in booting up his laptop again. He was amazed that it had survied its fall intact and without any signs of damage. Just after he had booted it up however a voice called out to him. "Digidestined, are you there? Hello?" "Is that you Gennai?!" Izzy asked. "The one and only." Gennai said. "Who's that?" Twilight asked "I can't see anyone." "That's Gennai." Tai said "He's kind of like our mentor. Gennai we can hear you but we can't see you." "Of course you can't." Gennai said "Right now I can only speak to you through Izzy's laptop. Now listen carefully. I can't quite pinpoint your current location on any of my charts or maps but I do know that you are not in either Earth or the digital world. You are in some sort of alternative universe." "You are right about that." Izzy said "We're in the land of Equestria." "Hm Equestria you say? Well I'll have to check the charts and maps again. If I can find your exact location I might be able to find a way to bring you back. However it may take some time." Gennai said. "Well good luck." Izzy said "If you need an exact location we're in the town of Ponyville." "Ponyville huh?" Gennai said "I take it that means the dominant species are horses?" "Well actually the dominant species are ponies but that's a good guess." Izzy said. "Ponyville does sound familar to me somehow but I can't quite put my finger on it." Gennai said "I'll see what I can find. Oh and I should warn you, that mysterious portal that brought you guys here has appeared again and has brought back some of your old foes." "We know Gennai." Davis said "We've already dealt with them!" "Not all of them Davis." Gennai said "As I'm sure MaloMyotismon told you there is still one more evil digimon you have to defeat. But be warned this evil force despite having been defeated just recently has gotten more powerful. Be careful." "We will Gennai." Izzy said "Contact us if you manage to find out anything." "I will." Gennai said "Goodbye for now digidestined." The rest of the day passed uneventfully for the digidestined. They did take the time to do some more training but they found that Trixie had already packed up and left. "I believe she mentioned something about starting a gameshow in Los Pegasus." Rarity told them. "Any word from Gennai yet?" Tai asked Izzy the next morning. "No not yet." Izzy said "But if he does find anything out I'll let you know." "I hope you're not going to leave that thing on all day." Tentomon said. "Of course not." Izzy said as he shut off his laptop "Since I don't have my charger with me I'm not going to waste my battery life. It's a good thing my laptop has a really long battery life though." "I hear ya." Tai said. "Now come on breakfast is ready and it sure smells good." Tai, Izzy, Agumon, and Tentomon joined Twilight and Spike for breakfast. They enjoyed every moment of it. "Hey did you remember to make some muffins?" Spike asked Twilight once breakfast was over. "Of course." Twilight said "I know how much she loves muffins." "Who are you talking about?" Tai asked. Before either Twilight or Spike could answer there was a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" Agumon asked. Tai, Izzy, Agumon, and Tentomon watched as Twilight opened the door. And there stood a grey wall eyed pegasus with a blond mane. She was carrying a mail delivery sack on her shoulders and had a mail carrier hat on. "Hello Twilight." the wall eyed pegasus said in a bubbly voice "I brought you a letter." "Hello Derpy." Twilight said "Here I made sure to whip up a basket of muffins for you." "Thanks Twilight." Derpy said "Say is that your coltfriend Tai over there?" "Um yes." Tai said. "Oh hello there." Derpy said "I've heard good things about you and your friends." "You have?" Tai asked. "Yes." Derpy said. "Oh but look at the time. I'm such a silly pony I really must be going. This mail isn't going to deilver itself you know. Hey maybe you guys could drop by my house later and we can hang out." "Well I don't see why not." Tai said. "Then it's a deal." Derpy said "See you in a little while." "So who exactly was that?" Izzy asked. "That's our local mailmare Derpy Hooves." Twilight said "Even though the post office has recently added more workers Derpy is still the only one with a perfect track record. She's never lost a single package or letter in her entire career." "Wow that's incredible." Izzy said "But um if you don't mind me asking why are her eyes like that?" "I don't really know. In fact nopony does." Twilight said "I think it might be a disease of some sort but I don't know. Sadly some ponies like to tease Derpy. They constantly say she's a walking disaster and a disgrace to society that should be locked away and never allowed to see the light of day." "Wow I never knew ponies could be so cruel." Tai said. "Yes well they can. And it's really sad because Derpy doesn't mean any harm." Twilight said "Fortunately Derpy has many friends who stick up for her. Including Rainbow Dash. In fact when Derpy accidentally damaged town hall almost a year ago Rainbow Dash defended her and said that Derpy never meant to cause any harm. Plus Derpy herself said she was more than happy to fix up town hall all by herself." A little later all of the digidestined had gathered at the place which Rainbow Dash had told them was Derpy's home. Tai knocked on the door. He was surprised when a brown earth pony stallion answered it. "I don't know why but somehow he seems familar. Like thought I've seen him before in some other sort of form." Tai thought. "Oh um hello please do come in." the stallion said nervously "Oh and don't mind my voice it might seem a little odd but I had to master it in order to blend in." "Who are you exactly?" Izzy asked. "Oh I'm uh, I'm, T-T-Time Turner. I'm a master of all things timey-wimey, but that's because I work as a clock maker. Some ponies call me the lord of time." the earth pony stallion replied "And what are you doing here?" Tai asked "After all this is Derpy's house." "I know it is." Time Turner said "I was just going. I came by to visit with Derpy for a little bit." "Oh o.k." Tai said. "Yes so now I'll be on my way." Time Turner said. Once Time Turner left the digidestined and their partner digimon got a good look at their surroundings. Like with Trixie's home it seemed to be rather simple but it also seemed to have a slightly different feel to it. As if though there was something special about this. "Oh hello." Derpy said "So nice of you to drop by." "Say who's that hiding behind you?" Kari asked when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. "Why that's Dinky Doo Hooves." Derpy said "She's my little muffin. Say hello Dinky." "H-Hello." replied Dinky. She had the same mane and coat as Derpy but she had a horn on her forehead which indicated that she was a unicorn and not a pegasus. "It's alright Dinky." Derpy Hooves "They won't hurt you. These are the digidestined. You know the ones who beat those big scary monsters." Dinky immediately warmed up to the digidestined and their parnter digimon. "Well ain't she a cutie." Kari said. "I know." Derpy said "I can't imagine life without her." "Who's the father?" Joe asked. "I don't want to talk about that." Derpy said, a tear forming in her eye as she looked up to the sky, a single star streaked across "All you need to know is that he's not around anymore." "Oh I see." Joe said picking up the hint "I'm sorry, I didn't know." "It's okay." Derpy said, wiping away her tear "I still have Dinky and I know he wouldn't want me to be sad." "Well to change the subject." Mimi said "Can you tell us about Time Turner. He said he was visiting you earlier." "Ah yes Time Turner. He's a really sweet stallion. He was there for me when my husband well you know. I really don't know what I would've done without him." Derpy said. "I see." Mimi said. "Yes well anyway ever since that time he's come around to help on occasion." Derpy said "In fact I have him to thank for my job. He also sometimes looks after Dinky if I have to work over time at the post office. So in a way he's kind of like a father to her." "He seems like a nice stallion." Mimi said. "Indeed." Derpy said "And if you're wondering why I haven't married him yet it's because he told he's already married." "Mommy I'm hungry." Dinky said. "Guess it's time to eat huh?" T.K. asked. "Yep." Derpy said. "Would you like some help in the kitchen?" Kari asked. "Sure." Derpy said "I'm a pretty good cook myself but the more the merrier." A few minutes later the digidestimed, their partner digimon, Derpy, and Dinky had a delicious picnic lunch outside. The sun shone and birds chirped happily. For the rest of the day the digidestined spent time getting to know Derpy and played with Dinky. "Thanks for coming over." Derpy said as she carried Dinky to bed. The little filly was starting to fall asleep after her exciting afternoon. "I think Dinky really had fun today." "I think so too." Kari said "You're one of the nicest ponies I've ever seen." "Ah shucks it's nothing really." Derpy said as she tucked Dinky in and kissed her little muffin good night. She then began to sing Dinky a song. "That voice it's so beautiful." Matt said. "It's like the voice of an angel." Kari said. "It's so soothing." Unknown to any of the digidestined Ken was trying to hold back tears. He'd never admit it but the song reminded him of his brother Sam. "I sure wish you were alive to see this Sam." Ken thought to himself. "Do you guys need help getting back?" Derpy asked after she had finished singing. By now Dinky was fast asleep "No we know the way." Gabumon said "But thanks anyway. Bye now." "Goodbye." Derpy said "I hope we meet again soon." And with that the digidestined split up and went their seperate ways for the night. Just before Izzy went to bed he checked his laptop. He was surprised to find an e-mail from Gennai. "I wonder what it could be?" he said to himself. He clicked on it. What he saw gave him quite a shock. "This changes everything!" Izzy said "I just hope Twilight can explain why she never told us this."
