Living the dream (Warning Cuteness Overload)
A few ponies had emerged from their homes due to the explosions. Needless to say they were a little unsettled by what they had seen.
"It's alright." Tai said after noticing them "We come in peace. Devimon won't be causing any more trouble. "
To Tai's surpise all of the ponies who had gathered quickly left the scene and went about their usual lives. Tai was surprised at how casually they had brushed it off. "I guess it doesn't take much for these ponies to move on. I guess after all the events Twilight explained to me about though I suppose they've gotten use to unusual things happening. Ah if only my friends lives could be like that."
"Well there's no point in standing around here." Tai said "We'd better go find Twilight and the others."
The digidestined and their partner digimon went looking but it didn't take long. They found Twilight a little less than halfway to her home.
"Oh thank Celestia you're o.k." Twilight said.
"Yeah I'm fine and so is everyone else." Tai replied "Right guys?"
"Right" replied the digidestined and their digimon partners.
"Well good, because you have a lot of explaining to do mister!" Twilight said.
"Explaining?" Tai asked.
"You said you'd explain later and well, it's later!" Twilight said.
"But what do I have to explain?" Tai asked.
"You just told me to leave for no apparent reason!" Twilight said "Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?!"
"Of course." Tai said "But I was just as worried about you. You might have your magic but I doubt that would have helped you against Devimon. If anything you would've likely just made him mad and he would've gone out of his way to attack you. And if anything ever happened to you or any of your friends as a result of my past I'd never forgive myself. In all honesty I really was about to blow my fuse back there but that just proves how worried I was."
"So you were worried too huh?" Twilight said "Well why didn't you just say so you big lug? I'd have understood perfectly." Upon finshing these words Twilight couldn't help but shed a few tears.
To everyone's surprise Tai wept as well and threw his arms around Twilight, refusing to let go. Twilight did the same and the two "lovebirds" became wrapped up in their first hug.
"Daw." was all anyone said and that's all that needed to be said because it was just one of those moments that really melted your heart and made part of you die on the inside. Even fairly quiet Cody and worrywat Joe couldn't resist joining in.
"So Tai and Twilight care about each other huh? Well I'd say that means they're in love. Hm, Tailight, I like the sound of that." Pinkie Pie said to no one in particular.
Anyone watching would have merely said "It's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie." and ignored it.
The hug ended about a moment later and both Tai and Twilight blushed a little as they looked at each other. It was as if though there was something they wanted say but they couldn't. Of course they had no need to do so, their actions had spoken loud enough for the both of them.
The rest of the day passed largely uneventfully for the digidestined and their partner digimon. Nopony in town seemed to be at all alarmed by the fact that there were non equines living in Equestria. As a matter of fact they seemed to openly embrace them, although this didn't make the digidestined instant celebrites.
After a victory dinner at Twilight's house the digidestined and their parnter digimon went their seperate ways again as the sleeping arangements made the night before still stood. Twilight offered to try and make room for Tai to sleep with her but Tai declined. He was still a gentleman, and he would not upset the arrangements he'd already made.
The next morning Applejack decided not to wake up her "guests". "They saved this town yestersday. They deserve a chance to get some extra sleep and get refreshed." Then the cowpony took a look outside. What she saw surprised her.
There was her brother Big Macintosh, he was walking slowly as another pony leaned on him. This pony was an earth pony mare with a purple coat, a light purple mane and tail, and a cuite mark consisting of three flowers with smily faces on them. Applejack knew at once who it was, the school teacher Miss. Cheerilee and Big Macintosh's marefriend. The two of them had gone on another date last night. Big Macintosh had said he'd likely be gone until morning.
Applejack raced outside just as Big Macintosh approached the front gate of Sweet Apple Acres.
"What in the hay happened Big Mac?" Applejack asked "And why is Cheerilee using you as a crutch?"
"Well she got drunk, and after a while she just passed out." Big Macintosh explained.
"How could you let this happen?!" Applejack said "I demand an explanation!"
"I tired to stop her but she said that she was a big pony and she didn't need me telling her what to do." Big Macintosh said.
"What did she drink exactly?" Applejack asked.
"She had some hard cider. About two glasses I believe." Big Macintosh said.
"Well no wonder she's so tired." Applejack said "She can barely stand on her legs after she's had only a cup of our cider. That hard cider's serious stuff."
"I'h know." Big Macintosh said "Needless to say she's not going to be doing much of anything today." He continued his explanation of what had occurred last night as he carried Cheerilee inside and brought her to his bedroom. He wasted no time in placing her on his bed and tucking her in.
"I've gotta get down to the school house so I can take over for her. She's obviously not going to be able to teach like this." Big Macintosh said.
"Not so fast Big Macintosh." Applejack said.
Big Macintosh froze. His sister almost never called him by his full name and when she did she usually did it was because she was about to chew him out.
"Don't think you're going anywhere. Not with Cheerilee the way she is." Applejack said.
"But Applejack I" Big Macintosh said.
"NO BUTS!" Applejack shouted "She's going to have one heck of a hangover when she wakes up and I know for a fact that she's going to want you by her side."
"But who's going to take her place at the school house? School's only two hours away, that's not enough time to file a request for a substitute." Big Macintosh said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Twilight would be more than happy to step in." Applejack said.
"Well then you'd better be on your way." Big Macintosh said "I'll explain the situation to your friends when they wake up. Now go!"
Applejack didn't need to be told twice. She wasted no time in making her way from Sweet Apple Acres to the Ponyvillie Books and Branches library. Upon arriving Applejack knocked on the door, frantically hoping that Twilight was awake. To her relief the door opened, and Twilight came out with no signs of having been rudely awakened by Applejack's knocking.
"Good morning Applejack." Twilight said "What brings you here?"
"It's Cheerilee!" Applejack said "She went out for a date with my brother last night and she got drunk off of hard cider! She's back at Sweet Apple Acres resting and Big Macintosh is going to take care of her when she wakes up! And no, before you ask, I don't mean 'that' kind of taking care of!"
"And you'd like me to teach her in place?" Twilight asked.
"Yep." Applejack said.
"Well gee I'd love to." Twilight said "But I'm afraid today is reshelfing day, it's actually required that the head librarin reorganize the shelfs each month, and if they don't do so the library is closed down until the librarian agrees to pay a fine. The inspector's coming over in about one hour so I haven't got much time. I'm really sorry Applejack, any other day I'd glady do it but today it's just not possible."
"Oh I see." Applejack said, her stentson hat failing to hide her glum looking face.
"Couldn't you just ask one of our other friends to do it?" Twilight asked.
"Well I'd love to but although Pinkie Pie's fairly good with Pound and Pumpkin Cake who knows how good she'd be with school age colts and fillies? Fluttershy would likely be too frightened to even show up and even then she'd likely have a hard time keeping the foals in line. I don't quite know if Rarity has enough patience to deal with all the classroom antics, and I don't think the parents would be pleased to hear that Rainbow Dash is teaching for obvious reasons." Applejack said. "And I know I can't myself because I've got chores at Sweet Apple Acres, and with Big Mac looking after Cheerilee I can't afford to abandon my duties."
"But then who could we possibly find to take Cheerilee's place at this point? Just about everypony in town probably has something they need to be doing." Twilight said
"What's this all about?" Tai asked, descending the stairs.
"Oh hi Tai." Applejack said "Well long story short Cheerilee, the school teacher, got drunk on a date with my brother last night, and she's not going to be able to teach. So I came over here hoping that Twilight could take Cheerilee's place, but she's too busy, and I can't think of anypony else who could be a substitute."
"So you said you can't think of anypony to be a substitue teacher?" Tai asked.
"Yes, why?" Applejack asked.
"Then why not ask someone who's not a pony?" Tai said.
Applejack paused for a moment and then it hit her. "Of course why didn't I'h think of that before? I could ask one of your friends, I'm sure they wouldn't mind."
"Well how about you ask my sister Kari?" Tai said "She said she wanted to grow up to be a kindergarten teacher after all."
"That's a great idea." Agumon chimed in "And I'm sure Kari would agree."
"Then I've got no time to lose." Applejack said "See you guys later." and with that the farmpony took off again. This time her destination was Carousel Boutique. Once again she knocked frantically on the door.
"Oh hello Applejack, what brings you here darling?" Rarity asked after opening the door.
"Is Kari around?" Applejack asked.
"Yes, why?" Rarity asked.
Applejack explained everything.
"Well I'm sure that she'll say yes but just to be sure I'll ask her myself." Rarity said.
"Alright then guess I'll head on back to the farm." Applejack said "I don't see what would make her say no."
Kari was wide awake and she and T.K. had already eaten breakfast. Kari had been glad to see that the lessons she'd given Sweetie Belle were working, although Sweetie Belle still had a long way to go. She and T.K. along with Patamon and Gatomon were simpy relaxing while Sweetie Belle told them all about the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Oh excuse me." Rarity said "Could I talk you in private for a little bit Kari?"
"Sure thing." Kari said "I won't be long guys.".
"I'm glad to see you're getting along so nicely with Sweetie Belle." Rarity said "I try my best to put up with her antics and spend time with her, but sometimes it's so hard."
"What can I say, she's just so adorable." Kari said "And I guess I just have a knack for working with children."
"That's good to hear." Rarity said.
"Why is that?" Kari asked.
Rarity explained what Applejack had just told her a few minutes ago.
"So will you do it?" Rarity asked "There really is no one else that I can think of who might be better qualified than you."
"Of course I'll do it." Kari said "Kids and me are a winning combination."
"Good." Rarity said.
"Just wait unitl I tell Gatomon about this." Kari said.
"Actually I'd rather you not tell her." Rarity said.
"Why?" Kari asked.
"Because I'm not sure how many ponies know about digimon right now. And we have no way of knowing how they'll react. For now it's just best if the digimon stay our little secret." Rarity explained. "I'd be more than happy to look after Gatomon for you. After all I have a cat myself, Opalescence, and she's such a darling, even if at times she can be rather feisty."
"I see your reasoning." Kari said "And if you're sure you can handle Gatomon then by all means you're free to try. Although you might want T.K. nearby just in case. You're not a stranger but I don't know if Gatomon is quite willing to trust you yet. But we'll see I guess."
"Alright then." Rarity said "I take it that means you'll have no troubling escorting Sweetie Belle to school?"
"None whatsoever." Kari said "Although wouldn't it be better if I went down to the school house right now, after all doesn't school start soon?"
"It does.' Rarity said "But you'll have a little time once you escort Sweetie Belle to get inside and get everything ready. Cheerilee should have already set up the lesson plan yesterday. Just look it over and make sure you're comfortable with. Oh and a word to the wise watch out for Diamond Tiara, Sweetie Belle tells me she's always causing trouble. Sometimes she does it on her own and sometimes she has help from her friend Silver Spoon."
"Well don't you worry." Kari said "If Diamond Tiara does cause any trouble I'll make sure to punish her for it. But I really don't think it will come to that."
"Neither do I but considering how often Sweetie Belle complains about her I just thought I should warn you. Now come on you'd best be going Sweetie Belle is likely already packed up by now." Rarity said.
Sure enough as soon as Kari came back Sweetie Belle's saddle bags were already filled with pencils, paper, and all other sorts of school supplies. Rarity gave Sweetie Belle her lunchbox which was packed with all sorts of goodies but she was not to open said box until lunch time.
"Guess we'd better get going. Lead the way Sweetie Belle." Kari said.
"O.k. just follow me. I know the way to school like the back of my hoof, whatever that means." Sweetie Belle replied in her usual cheerful tone.
"She really is a walking bundle of joy." Kari thought as she and Sweetie Belle made their way down to the Ponyvillie school house.
"Hey look there's my fellow crusaders." Sweetie Belle said running over to join Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "See you later Kari."
Kari immediately headed inside. It didn't take her long to find the classroom, there was only one after all. She looked outside and saw all the fillies and colts playing on the playground. They all looked so happy. Turning her attention away from the windows Kari noticed the school day schedule posted near the front row desks. She quickly reviewed it and the lesson plan and then she was ready.
"Oops, forgot one thing." she thought to herself as she remembered something that she'd seen all substitue teachers in her world do. Turning the black board she picked up a piece of chalk and began writing her name.
The school bell rang and all the colts and fillies rushed into the classroom, taking their repsective seats.
"Good morning students." Kari said "Miss Cheerilee is indisposed so she will not be teaching today. I am your substitue teacher. My name is Hikari Yagami Kamiya. But please just call me Miss Kari. I'm sure some of you may already know me but just in case I'd like to begin by asking you all what your names are."
And so the students told Kari their names. She made sure to memorize them so she could tell who was whom although she had no trouble identifying Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Well then since we've all gotten to know each other let's not waste any time and delve right into today's exciting lesson." Kari said "But before we begin I'd like to remind you all that I have a strict no tolerance policy for misbehavior of any sort. If I find you distrupting the classroom atmosphere or if I find you picking on other students you will be going home with a note at the end of the day as well as spending some quality time in the time out corner. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Miss Kari." the colts and fillies replied.
"Good." Kari said "Remember that I want to be your friend not your enemy. Now let us begin today's lesson."
The next few hours passed quickly. Kari was true to her word and made sure that any student that misbehaved was punished accordingly. Needless to say the entire classroom was thrilled when Diamond Tiara was caught picking on Twist and had to spend the last few minutes before lunch time recess in the time out corner.
When the bell rang for lunch recess all the students filed out and raced for the playground. But Diamond Tiara was not allowed to go until she sincerely apologized to Twist and told Kari who her father was so Kari could write him a note explaining what his daughter had done. "I hope you've learned your lesson." Kari said "If you cause any more trouble I'm afraid you'll have to stay after school for detention understand?!"
"Yes Miss Kari." Diamond Tiara said sadly.
Kari watched her go pleased to see that the filly wasn't causing any more trouble. Then she remembered that she'd forgotten to make her own lunch. "What am I gonna do?" she thought to herself.
"Hey Miss Kari over here." called a voice in a southern accent.
"Oh hi Apple Bloom." Kari said "I see you're having lunch with your friends Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle."
"Yup." Apple Bloom said "Why don't you come and join us?"
"Are you sure you want me to? I wouldn't want anypony to get the idea that I'm favorting you three." Kari asked.
"Hey don't worry about that." Scootaloo said "Besides this stuff is delicious. You should really try it out."
"Did all of this come from Sweetie Belle's lunchbox because it smells good." Kari said as she sat down on the bench.
"Most of it." Scootaloo replied "But some of it comes from Apple Bloom's family. All of them are really good cooks so it's impossible to tell who gave her what. And a few of these are from my mom, she's a pretty good cook as well. And she's one of the nicest mom's in all of Equestria. She's even going to see about teaching me how to fly this weekned. Of course Rainbow Dash has been teaching me too but in all honesty although I'd never admit I think my mom's a better flyer than Rainbow Dash. I hear she use to be a Wonderbolt member but she got tired of performing so she decided to settle down and start a family."
"Sounds like you all have wonderful families." Kari said taking some of the food after politely asking of course "But just wait unitl you hear about my family."
After enjyoing a very delicious lunch Kari said goodbye to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and headed back to the school house. Soon the bell rang signling the end of lunch recess. The colts and fillies filled back into the classroom and into their respective seats.
"I hope you all had an enjoyable lunch." Kari said "And now I hope you're all refreshed and ready to get back to learning."
The colts and fillies all noded in approval.
"Good." Kari said "Now then where were we?"
The rest of the school day passed just as quickly as the first few hours of it had. The colts and fillies had learned that Kari was not someone to be taken lightly so none of them bothered to try and disrupt the classroom.
After what only seemed like a few minutes even though the clock showed otherwise the bell rang once again signling the end of the school day. Kari was needless to say very pleased with herself. She had handled an entire group of colts and fillies without any problems or issues. And she had done so all on her own. After making sure to prepare the lesson plan for tomorrow Kari turned off the lights, closed the classroom door, and headed outside to join Sweetie Belle for the return journey to Carousel Boutique.
"I'm just going home so can I drop off my saddle bags really quick then I'm going to join Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. We're going to try and earn our cutie marks in bug catching." Sweetie Belle said.
"I hope you're not going into The Everfree Forest. From what I've heard it's very dangerous even for fully grown ponies." Kari said.
"No we've learned not to venture into there on our own." Sweetie Belle said "But I'd rather not talk about that."
"Well no one ever said you had to." Kari said "Now then let's get going. We don't want your sister to get worried about you now do we?"
"No we don't." Sweetie Belle said.
The rest of the journey passed in silence.
That night Kari wouldn't stop talking about all the things she'd learned about the various colts and fillies living in Ponyville.
"Wow sounds like you had a busy day Kari." T.K. said.
"And I'm glad to hear that you put Diamond Tiara in her place." Rarity said "Hopefully she'll finally learn her lesson."
"Yeah well I guess time will tell." Kari said. "Oh my it's getting late."
"You're right it is." T.K. said "Guess we'd better get washed up and go to bed."
"See you both in the morning." Rarity said. She was just about to head upstairs and slip into her silk pajams when there was a knock on the door.
She opened it and saw Spike standing there out of breath. "Urgent message from Canterlot!" he said handing Rarity a scroll.
Rarity levitated the scroll with her magic and read the message out loud.
Dear Twilight Sparkle my faithful student,
You and your friends are to come to Canterlot tomorrow. Luna and I wish to meet these so called "digidestined" and their "digimon".
Signed,
Princess Celestia, Ruler of Equestria.

Loved the scene where the Tailight was established! Especially with Pinkie Pie calling it that!
And Kari got to live her dream AND catch Diamond Tiara red-hoofed! Although something tells me that DT isn't done being a bully.
My reaction to that ending:
Also:
theritz.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/moses20first20post.jpg?w=395&h=480
1899370 Thanks oh and you do realize that appearantly now you can be banned for saying first.
1900999 I REGRET NOTHING!!!
1901008 I've yet to see anyone actually be banned for it but you might want to refrain from doing it in the future just in case.
Also if this fic had a T.V. tropes page Pinkie Pie would be a "Shipper on Deck" and the Tailight scene would be a "Crowning Moment of Heartwarming". Hm sounds like I'm suggesting this fic should have a T.V. tropes page. Does anyone know if they can make it happen?
1899370 What can I say some ponies just never learn. I guess that's why Hasbro's never even looked into trying to redeem her. They want her to stay a bully so the CMC have a reocurring rival.
And of course as I said earlier Kari is my favorite digidestined. she's sweet, cheerful, funny, kind, gentle, rarely gets angry, and she's just a nice person to hang out with in general. Too bad she's already taken by T.K. for obvious reasons. (Shiping. Shiping everywhere.)
1901021 FELLOW TROPER!!!
Here's an epic brohoof for you!
fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/218/b/e/epic_brohoof_by_mixermike622-d45m32o.gif
1901049 Thank you for that generous gift.
1901030 One bit of advice for Applejack: Instead of butchering the English language with Ih, have her use I or Ah.
1901060 I personally think it comes out as I'h. Then again I've never really had much expierence with southern accents in truth or in fiction so it's kind of hard for me to write.
Also I figured I'd go back and put out a warning about chapter 9, you know so no one is blaiming me for giving them diabetes or heart attacks due to the adorableness.
hmm... they uh.... accepted a human quite easily.....
Kari Being a substitute kindergarden teacher for PONIES!
THE. ABSOLUTE. SINGLE. BEST. IDEA. EVER!!!!!!!!!
You my good sir are a GENIUS! also 
how you had her catch DT in the act in fact for this you get three moustaches 
I just had a jaw dropping realization: what if the reason they never show Scootaloo's mom is because her mom is FIREFLY who they lost the rights to a long time ago?
