Tai woke up the next morning to an unfamiliar sound. It sounded very happy, perhaps a bit too happy. But he couldn't figure out where it was coming from, or what the source of it was. Then, as if to answer his questions, a plum colored earth pony mare, with a redish purple mane and tail, and a cutie mark depicitng grapes and a strawberry appeared. And she was singing a little song, which went something like this.
"Just who is that mare?" Tai thought to himself.
"I see Berry Punch is at it again." Scootaloo said, waking up.
"Berry Punch?" Tai asked.
"Yup." Scootaloo said "She always seems to be drinking all those weird beverages that the grownups say I'm not allowed to drink."
"Is she always like this?" Tai asked.
Scootaloo nodded. "You'll get use to it though. And most of time she's actually quite nice. In fact she even has a unicorn filly named Ruby Pinch. And she's very overprotective of her." Scootaloo said.
"How can an earth pony have a unicorn daughter?" Tai asked.
"The same way two earth ponies can have twins who are a pegasus and a unicorn." Scootaloo said.
"Who's the father?" Tai asked.
"I don't know." Scootaloo said. She didn't wish to mention to Tai the rumors she'd heard about Berry Punch, and how she'd gotten pregnant with Ruby Pinch as a result of one of her more "personal" moments. Scootaloo's parents always told her it was not nice to talk badly about other ponies.
After breakfast Scootaloo took the time to introduce Tai to her favorite (and only) book series. Daring Do. She alos let slip a very intresting fact that she'd learned about the author, A. K. Yearling.
"So you're telling me that all these stories are true? And that A. K. Yearling is actually Daring Do in disguise?" Tai asked.
"Yeah. Rainbow Dash told me herself. Heck she even got herself featured on the cover of the latest book because of her help!" Scootaloo said "Here I'll show you." She went over to her bookcase and pulled out Daring Do and The Ring of Destiny. Sure enough Rainbow Dash was pictured on the cover, right besides Daring Do.
"That must've been amazing. I can't imagine how awesome it would be discover your favorite book character actually exists!" Tai said.
A little later Twilight arrived. She seemed to be very happy. "Good news Tai." she said "Princess Celestia just contacted me. Your friends have managed to locate you, and they're ready to bring you home."
"Does this mean you have to go away?" Scootaloo asked.
"I'm afraid so Scootaloo." Tai said.
"Aw. There's still so much we haven't gotten the chance to do." Scootaloo said. She was trying not to show how upset she was.
"Cheer up Scootaloo. I promise I'll come back again someday. Hopefully under much better circumstances." Tai said "But for now why don't you and I share one last hug? For the road?"
"Okay." Scootaloo said. Using her wings she hoovered off the ground and embraced Tai in a hug. Tai returned the favor full force.
When that was done Twilight led Tai to the center of town. "He's here. Do your thing." Twilight said.
"Right." Izzy said "We're opening the portal now." A moment later a bright purple portal appeared in the sky.
"Is that it?" Tai asked.
"Yup." Twilight said "It was nice to see you again. Hopefully next time we won't have to wait so long to see each other."
"I can't make any promises. Real life is kicking my plot." Tai said. He quickly realized what he'd just said "Man, being a pony is really starting to change me. Next thing you know I'm going to start thinking I've lived in Equestria all my life or something." He and Twilight shared a good laugh at that.
But just as Tai prepared to take off and enter the portal an unfamiliar voice spoke up. "You fools! You've done exactly what I wanted you to!"
"What's going on here?! Hey what are you doing?!" Izzy asked.
"Izzy, what's going on?!" Tai asked as the portal began to change colors.
"I have no idea!" Izzy said "Someone else is calling the shots around here now!"
"Precisely!" the voice said "I've waited a long time for this! And now I will finally have my revenge on all of you!"
The portal, now completly black expanded rapidly, and began to pull not just Tai, but Twilight, and Spike into the air.
"Tai!" Twilight screamed.
"Twilight!" Tai shouted, barely able to hear himself over the roar of the wind.
"Hold on Twilight we're coming!" a familar voice shouted. A second later Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash all appeared. Applejack quickly threw a lasso around Twilight.
"Oh no you don't!" the voice said "You fools will not ruin my plans! In fact my revenge wouldn't be complete with you! So why don't you all come along for the ride?!"
"What the hay is this guy talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't know." Applejack said "But whoever or whatever it is they're strong. I can't keep my hooves on the ground!"
"A.J.!" Rainbow Dash shouted. She promplty grabbed hold of Applejack's tail. But this only served to start a chain reaction that eventually pulled not only Twilight and Applejack, but also Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie into the portal, alongside Tai.
On the other side of the portal all of the digidestined and their partner digimon fell victim to the same thing.
"At last! All living creatures will bow to me!" the mysterious voice said. A moment later the portal sealed itself shut.
