Questions and Answers

"Oh man, this is great!" Exclaimed James

James and Gaomon scarfed down the food that they had on their plates.

"I completely agree." Said Gaomon

The two continued to eat the feast that Celestia served for the group of humans and Digimon. She wasn't lying when she meant a feast. Her maids brought out a load of food from the kitchen. It ranged from salads, desserts, and fruits. No meat was present, but that didn't stop the group of eating away.

"Don't you have some manners!" Exclaimed Alice

Alice sat next to James and Renamon next to her. The two had to watch as James and Gaomon stuffed their faces full of food.

"Hey, I need to recover my calories from running from that Manticore, plus I'm starving from yesterday." Said James

"Still doesn't mean you have to be a slob." Said Renamon

April sat next to Renamon and Biyomon next to her. Terriermon and Lopmon shared the seat next to Biyomon, and Abby sat next to them. Matt sat next to his sister with Guilmon and Gomamon next to him. Celestia sat on the other side of the table, smiling as the group ate. There were still eight empty seats around the table.

"The only thing we're missing is meat, but who cares everything here is great." Said James

"Meat, interesting." Murmured Celestia

"Swallow your food before talking! I swear, were you raised in a barn!" Screamed Alice

"I have to agree." Said Renamon

"How is everything?" Asked Celestia

"Excellent, thank you." Said April

"I won't lie, I love your cook's cooking more than my mothers." Said James

Celestia giggled, "I'll make sure to pass that on to my head chef. He works hard to prepare the food around here."

"Please do give him our regards." Said Alice

"So what's with the extra chairs?" Asked Matt

"I decided to invite some guests. I know you have plenty of questions, and so do I." Said Celestia

"How long until they get here?" Asked Matt

"They should be arriving soon." Said Celestia

"I hope after James and Gaomon are done stuffing their faces." Said Alice

After five minutes of eating, everyone had their fill, and Celestia had the maids clean the table. The maids then brought out a bowl of fruit and placed it on the table. Once they left the main doors opened and in stepped a mare. The group turned, and Matt recognized it as Dark Crescent. She was now wearing a plain blue t-shirt that showed off her DD-cup breasts and a black skirt.

"I can see you're impressed." Said Crescent

"I'll be, it has only been an hour or so since I last saw you. I would have thought you would be in the medical wing for at least a few days." Said Matt

"That's magic for you, plus I didn't have to serve wounds thanks to the armor. But," Crescent yawned. "I'm a little tired since I sleep through the morning, but I decided to make an exception for today."

"Welcome, Crescent, do you know if the others are coming?" Asked Celestia

"I think I saw them coming when I was on my way over." Said Crescent

"Great." Said Celestia

Crescent took the seat next to Guilmon and Gomamon. She moved it over, and Guilmon and Gomamon moved over. She set it down next to Matt and sat down. His Digimon didn't seem to mind, nor did Matt. The others paid no attention to it, but Alice did find it a little strange but decided to drop it.

"So who else is coming?" Asked April

"My student, her friends, and my sister." Said Celestia

The door opened, and the group turned, and couldn't believe their eyes and the same went for the ponies. The seven ponies walked over to Princess Celestia and took a seat as the group followed them. Crescent just yawned as tried to fight off her desire to sleep.

The group moved their eyes to the first pony, a lavender pony with a horn coming out of her head. She had a blue, purple and rose mane. She was wearing a blue tank top with a blue star in the middle. She also had a purple skirt and BB-cup breasts. The pony next to her had a white coat, a curled violet mane and a horn on her head. She was wearing an elegant aquamarine dress, and her breast size was a perfect DD-cup that accented her hourglass figure.

Next was a green and purple lizard creature. He had on a plain green t-shirt and cargo shorts. Next to him was a cyan colored pony with wings on her back and a rainbow mane. James knew he would have a hard time not calling the pony Skittles because of her mane. The pony was wearing a warmup jacket and a pair of running shorts. She also had a CC-cup chest. Then there was the pony next to Celestia. She had a dark blue coat and a light blue mane. She had a horn and a pair of wings like Celestia. She had on black jewelry much like Celestia's. She was wearing a dark blue strapless dress that hugged her EE-cup breasts. She seemed not to want to make eye contact with the humans or the Digimon.

Next to Celestia was a butterball pony with a pair of wings and a large pink mane. She was wearing a green sweater and brown pants. Her breasts were easily FF-cup. She seemed to hide her face behind her overly large mane, which the humans and Digimon found cute. The pony did poke her face from her mane and looked at the Digimon. Next to her was an orange pony with neither wings nor a horn. She had a blond mane, which a green tie held together into a ponytail. She was wearing a crosshatched shirt and a pair of jean shorts. On her head was an old brown Stetson. Her breast size was easily E-cup. Next to her was an utterly pink pony with neither a horn or wings. Her mane was all puffy. She was wearing a blue and white striped shirt and a pink skirt. She had DD-cup breasts. A large beaming smile rested on her face.

"I believe everypony is here, so let me introduce them all to you." Celestia started with the purple pony, "My student Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Twilight's assistant, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and my sister Luna." She moved to point at the ponies on her other side, "Here we have Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie."

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Matthew Summer or Matt for short."

"You can call me, Gomamon."

"I'm Guilmon."

"I'm Matt's little sister, Abby Summer."

"I'm Terriermon."

"And I'm her sister, Lopmon."

"I'm April North."

"You can call me Biyomon."

"I'm Renamon."

"The names Alice Johnson."

"I'm James Smith."

"Gaomon is my name."

"Now that we have the pleasantries over with let's begin with why we all came here, answering our burning questions." Said Celestia

"I guess I'll go first. What are you? Ever since I first laid eyes on you back at the Castle of the two sisters, I tried to research you, but I found nothing." Said Twilight

"Well, we're humans." Said Matt

"Not monkeys like that one guard said." Stated James

"Ok, what about the creatures with you?" Asked Twilight

"We're Digimon, Digital Monsters." Said Gomamon

"Digital monsters, what a strange name." Stated Rarity

"Ok, so what are of you?" Asked April

"Well, we are ponies. You see four species make up the pony race. First is the unicorn race, the ponies with horns. Unicorns can use magic. Next is the Pegasus race. They have wings on their backs. The Pegasus race controls the weather. The next race is the earth pony. The earth ponies are the farmers and those who care for the land. Finally, my sister and I are alicorns, the rulers of Equestria. We are a combination of all three races." Said Celestia

"Wait, you're telling me that Pegasus control weather." Said James

"Yes, we control the weather. Isn't that how it's on your planet?" Said Rainbow

"No, the weather is natural." Said James

"That sounds like the Everfree Forest," said Twilight as everypony felt a shiver run down their spines

"Wait," Matt turned to Crescent. "I was wondering what you are? You have wings, but there batwings instead of bird wings."

"I'm a Threstral, a bat pony. My species have always been lunar guards or those that take night shifts thanks to our species being awake during the night and sleeping during the day." Said Crescent

"So what's this about magic?" Asked April

"I agree, magic is a parlor trick to entertain people." Said James

Twilight's horn began to emit a lavender color. An apple started to float from the bowl over to Twilight, who opened her mouth and took a bite before the aura around the fruit disappeared the same time her horn stopped. She caught it in her right hand. She gave James a smug look as she swallowed the piece of apple in her mouth.

"Parlor trick, huh." Said Twilight

The group of humans and Digimon couldn't believe what they saw as they looked between each other. Even though what they seemed impossible to them, they accepted it as reality, since seeing is believing after all.

"Ok, so moving on, can you tell us where we are?." Asked Matt

"You are in Equestria and right now in the city of Canterlot, the capital of Equestria. But we are only one of the few nations that exist in the world of Eques. Examples of others are, the dragons, which Spike is, the Griffons, the zebras, the foxes, the cats and plenty more." Said Luna

"Let's stop right there. You're saying that the planet that we're all currently standing upon is Eques." Said James

"That is correct." Said Celestia

"Why is there something wrong with that?" Asked Luna

"Yes, because we live on Earth!" Exclaimed James

"Yes, we thought somehow we were still on Earth, but in some strange Earth." Said Matt

"I'm sad to say that this planet had always had the name Eques from when the first Alicorn walked upon its surface." Said Celestia

"No way!" Exclaimed James

"James, will you calm down." Said Alice

"Calm down! You want me to calm down! I just learned that we somehow are now on an alien planet, and none of us have any idea what brought us here or if it's possible to go home and you want me to calm down!" Screamed James

"Yelling isn't going to help anything." Matt pulled his Digivice off of his pants and looked at it, "I'm not sure if it's possible, but could you send us back home."

"Yes, I can." Everyone turned their attention to the princess, "As an alicorn, my magic far out rivals any unicorn that has ever lived on the planet. I could send you home, but I sadly can't." Said Celestia

"Why not?" Asked Abby

"For you see, I need to know what part of the multiverse you all reside. I need to know your Earth so that I can safely send you home, but I sense no way to do that on any of you. Whatever brought you here, did not involve magic, which won't allow me to track you back to your home. And since I can't do that, I can't safely return you to your planet or your homes." Said Celestia

"In other words, we're stuck here." Said April

"Yes, since whatever brought you here meant to keep you here." Stated Celestia

The group looked at each other. The ponies could see the weight of everything beginning to come down on them. Celestia wanted to do something, but she couldn't. She had no way to send them home. The Digimon seemed worried about their tamers.

"I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but I do welcome you to my country with open arms." Said Celestia

"Thank you, princess." Said Matt

"Are there any more questions you like to ask?" Asked Celestia

She was hoping to get the five humans from thinking about forever being stuck in a world, not theirs. Luckily, Matt spoke up.

"So since we have no way back, where are we going to live?" He asked

"I'm glad you asked, I plan on having you live in the town of Ponyville. My student and her friends all call that town, home. It's a beautiful and quaint little town that I think you'll enjoy living in, and I believe there is a house on the market big enough for all of you." Said Celestia

"Oh, you'll love Ponyville. It's the best place ever. Plus when we get there, I get to throw all of you a 'Welcome to Eques and Ponyville' party." Said Pinkie

"You're going to throw us a party even though you only met us." Said April

"That's right! I do it for all new ponies or humans, in your case, who move into Ponyville. I did one for Twilight the night we all faced off against Nightmare Moon." Said Pinkie

"Nightmare Moon?" Asked James

"Another side me that wished to plunge Equestria into the everlasting night. It came from my anger that the subjects of Equestria loved my sister's mornings more than my nights. But thanks to the Elements of Harmony, I'm freed of that evil." Said Luna

"I believe that was about the time you all appeared before us." Said Celestia

"Yeah, and when you decided to put us to sleep and put us in that dungeon." Said James

Celestia bit her lip, "I am sorry for the way I treated you, but you can't be too careful when it comes to protecting your subjects."

"It's understandable, Princess Celestia. I think our country would feel the same way." Said Matt

"At least she didn't decide to dissect us." Murmured James

The session of answering and asking question continued as the ponies and humans continued to exchange questions. After a while, Celestia ended the session seeing that both sides had answered plenty of questions. In the end, Twilight was rolling up scrolls from the talk with the humans and Digimon. She had a pair of guards take the humans and their Digimon to a room so they can relax. She told them that tomorrow morning, they would head out to see Ponyville.

The evening sun was beginning to set on the day. Matt stood on the balcony watching as the sun dipped into the horizon, and soon, the moon would rise into the sky. He looked back to see Guilmon and Gomamon snoozing on the couch after another large feast for dinner. Matt turned back to see the sun disappearing and the moon rising. He watched as the stars began to appear in the night sky. He continued to admire the night sky until a knock came to the door.

"Open." He said

The door opened, and he looked to see his sister closing the door behind her. She walked up and stood next to her brother and admired the sky.

"You know, I never saw a night sky like that around our house." Said Abby

"Yeah, not even the night skies we saw when camping compare to this one." Said Matt

"Yeah," Abby looked back at the twinkling stars. "Do you think we'll make it here?"

Matt kept silent as he tried to think of the proper answer for his little sister, "I'm not sure, but people do say humans are an adaptive species. We'll learn to survive here. Sure it might be rough at first, but we'll find our way."

"Do think mom and dad are still looking down at us?" Asked Abby

Matt smiled as he ruffled his sister's hair and pulled her close to him, "I would bet on it. I know they're watching over us no matter where we are."

She laughed as she leaned up against her brother, "You're the best big brother ever, Matt."

"I know Abby, I know." He said

The two siblings held each other tight as they kept looking up at the night sky as the stars twinkled and shined above them.
