Essence yawned as she walked alongside Night to their first class; Digimon 101.

"Why are you here again?" She whined at Night.

"To protect you." He said, sternly.

Essence sighed as she pushed the door to the classroom open. Inside was ponies and digimon of different types. She reconized some from the cafeteria but she had no idea what the names were.

"Welcome! Come take a seat!" Said a cheery voice from behind the desk.

It was a red unicorn mare with brown oval glasses. She had an orange mane that was cut down to the start of her thigh. It had a light streak of peach in it as well. her tail was the same colors but it was more wavy than straight. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a rainbow tailing behind it, with a sun just emerging behind it.

"I'll be your teacher for this class, My name is sunset storm. But you can call me Mrs. storm, sunny or anything else. I don't really mind." Sunset said, welcoming the two pegasi into the class.

They nodded and sat down in the only two available seats. Essence looked to her left and saw Crescent was sitting there beside her. She blushed a bit and waved. Crescent did the same, his cheeks growing a deeper shade of red.

"Who is that?" Night whispered to Essence.

"Just... a friend..." she whipered in reply, her cheeks still full glow.

"Then why are you blushing?" He whispered back.

She quicky turned away and decided to focus on the teacher.

"Now who would like to tell us what their digimon partner's attribute is?" She asked.

One pony raised her hoof.

"Would anypony besides Rainy days like to tell us what their partner's attribute is?" She asked again, ignoring the hoof.

Again the hoof was still up but this time a claw came out of the sea of ponies, griffons and a few dragon hybrids.

"Ah Gilda! So nice for you to volunteer." Sunset said, clapping her hooves together.

"Psh. Whatever." She said, walking up with a very strange digimon behind her.

"This is Stryke. He's a Strikedramon " She said, turning torward the class.

"He's a vaccine attribute, but in my opinion he's better at being a virus Attribute." She said, the last part under her breath.

Stryke roared as to demonstrate her point. They both turned around and went back to their seats.  Stryke was a bit too big to fit so he stood at the back.

"All right, Thank you gilda, This brings us to our lesson of the day: Digimon Attributes." Sunset said, levitating a piece of chalk in a chocolate brown aura.

She wrote the word Attributes on the board.

"Now who can tell me the three main attributes?" She asked.

It seemed like Rainy got the message and kept her hoof down this time. A grey hoof shot into the air.

"Lucky Clover?"

The stallion it was attached to stood up.

"The three main attributes are Vaccine, Virus and Data... Right?" He said, his voice wavering with worry.

"Don't worry Lucky, You got it right. Take a seat please."

Lucky sat down, relieved. Essence silently applauded him, she felt like it was the right thing to do. Sunset proceeded to write the attributes on the board.

"As you may or may not know, these attributes counter each other in a way. Vaccine attribute digimon are weaker against data digimon than they are against virus. Virus digimon are weaker to vaccine digimon than they are to data. Data is weaker to virus than to vaccine. The most dangerous of the bunch would be virus digimon. There are some that are nice, like Guilmon for instance, but all virus digimon share the same trait: When they get angry, nothing will stop them until they get their prize. Or they're defeated, which ever comes first." Sunset explained.

Essence wrote this down with fascination.

"But, there are some digimon that are classified as virus, but are harmless as a data type. Such as, FanBeemon. These digimon are scavengers, they are the same as worker bees when called on by a queen. Except when a tamer has one. They are classified as virus because to repair a hive, they use natural and stolen data. That mean's they will get it by any means nessesary." Sunset said, writing a few points on the chalkboard.

"Unfortunately... No one in this school has seen a tamed FanBeemon." She ended.

When FanBeemon heard this he zoomed out of Essence's saddlebags.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE TAKE IT BY ANY MEANS NESSESARY!?" He screamed at sunset.

"Oh no... FanBeemon..." Essence groaned and slammed her head repeatedly into the desk.

"Essence is my tamer and I may have not been in a hive for long... or ever for that fact but..." He said, not having anything to counter with.

"Oh... My..." Sunset gasped.

Fanbeemon hovered back to Essence and landed on her desk. All eyes turned toward Essence.

"FanBeemon..." Essence groaned.

"What?" He chirped.

"You're name is Essence right?" Sunset asked.

Essence nodded and said "Essence Wing, Sister to Night Wing."

"Don't get me Involved." Night said, roughly.

"Right, Essence, can you step up to the front, please?" Sunset said.

Essence followed her instructions.

"Please tell us how you managed to tame a FanBeemon. If you don't mind of course." Sunset Storm asked.

"Uh, Sure. He came to me as an egg. End of story. May I sit down?" Essence said.

Sunset nodded.
