As a new dawn crested upon the small town of Ponyville, everything seemed to indicate that it would be just another ordinary day for the inhabitants. Ponies strolled outside, ready to go about their daily routines without a care in the world. However, anypony who was looking up at the skies above Ponyville would soon realize that today wouldn't be completely normal. As the small average town right next to the Everfree Forest had recently received a few extraordinary visitors. And today, it was poised to host yet another one.

Princess Celestia looked over the side of her chariot as the pegasi guards continued to pull it toward their destination. She could clearly see Ponyville through the clouds as they approached and couldn't help but feel her heart sing at the sight. The peaceful, harmonious town with all of her little ponies enjoying their wonderful lives. Along with this came a feeling of relief. After what happened with the Elements Of Harmony yesterday, she was worried that trouble had descended upon her student's new home. The letter said student had sent her an hour or so after that event didn't ease her worries either.

Digimon? Gazimon? Eggs hatching into "Digital Monsters"? Small brown rabbits evolving into two-legged wizards?

She would never consider the idea that Twilight would lie or exaggerate in one of her letters. But even she found some of the things in the letter hard to believe. She had seen many, many, many strange things in her long existence as Equestria's Princess. And she could not think of a single instance of any creature like these "Digimon" Twilight wrote about. The closest comparison she could find was Discord. Their evolutions certainly seemed rather chaotic. What other word could you use to describe a little pink pig evolving into a pink bunny with a scarf, which then evolves into a walking strawberry shortcake?

But even he didn't create entirely new monsters when she and Luna had faced him. She wasn't sure he could. And she thanked her lucky stars for that. Though perhaps it would've been better if he had made that one hostile Digimon Twilight mentioned in her letter.

Celestia focused her gaze on the boundary between Ponyville and the Everfree Forest. There, she saw three earth ponies quickly filling in a pit to the east of the town. It didn't take them long to finish, and soon any hints of something having been there were completely gone. She let out a small sigh at the sight. It was good to see that the damage done by those Gazimon had been repaired. And that the "MadLeomon" the last one had turned into hadn't managed to hurt any pony. All thanks to the Digimon that helped Twilight and her friends.

She was certainly looking forward to meeting those "Digimon". Twilight had made them sound so pleasant.

Either way, all these events happening only a few hours apart confirmed that this was no coincidence. Whatever happened to the Elements Of Harmony had to connect back to these "Digimon" somehow. Considering this was only a day or so after her sister was healed, she couldn't simply ignore this event. She had to see the truth with her own two eyes. While it might make the nobles in Canterlot a bit upset with her, they could stand to sit on their concerns a bit longer. She would get to them in due time. Besides, this shouldn't take too long. Just a simple visit and-

"...Hmm?" she raised one of her eyebrows as her chariot dived below the cloud cover. As they did, she swore she could feel a large amount of magical power gathered in one area. Enough that, if she didn't know better, she would've mistaken it for a particularly prodigal unicorn. Or perhaps a pack of timberwolves all gathered in one place. However, it felt...different from either of those. Wild, yet controlled. A strange combination for sure. And one that piqued her interest enough to look for it. Glancing over the right side of her chariot, she found her gaze falling upon the familiar Apple Trees of Sweet Apple Acres. Specifically near the left side of the farm where their barn sat. That was where she saw...

...Huh.

"Guards, please drop me off at Sweet Apple Acres," Celestia's voice was sweet and calm as she spoke. The guards grunted in acknowledgement before banking to the right and heading towards the entrance of the famous farmstead. They made one more pass in front of the entrance before landing outside the archway that led into the farm. As the pegasi touched down, a small yellow filly ran down the dirt road to meet them. Her bright red mane and tail were complemented by the large pink bow tied on the back of her head. She opened her mouth to greet the visitors, but stopped short when she saw exactly who had arrived at her home.

"P-P-Princess Celestia!" the young filly, Apple Bloom, was so surprised she didn't pay attention to where she was going. She tripped over her own hooves and fell forward. She rolled across the ground until she slid to a stop in front of Celestia, as the latter stepped out of her chariot. Apple Bloom shook her fall off and got to her hooves. Then she bowed to the Princess while saying, "W-Welcome to Sweet Apple Arces, Princess! Ma-Mah name's Bloom Apple-ah-Ah mean Apple Bloom! Ta what do we owe the honor of, ah mean what do we-"

Celestia chuckled as she trotted over to the bowing filly. She gently lifted her up with her front hoof until Apple Bloom was back on her hooves, "Be at ease, Apple Bloom. I apologize for the abrupt visit, but there is a matter in Ponyville that I felt the need to investigate personally. But before that, I wanted to come see something I spotted on your farm as I flew over."

"O-Oh! R-Really?!" Apple Bloom hopped up and down, youthful excitement overcoming her desire to be respectful, "What didya see?"

"A large, furry creature laying down to the left of your barn. Do you know anything about that?"

Apple Bloom's face lit up at Celestia's words, "Oh! Yer talkin' 'bout Big Loo! He's my sister's new Digimon friend! He's real nice and even bigger than mah brother. Ya want to come see 'em?!"

Humming to herself at being correct, she nodded to the filly, "Yes, I would. Could you please lead the way?"

Apple Bloom nodded and turned to lead Celestia to the west of the farm. Celestia casually ordered her guards to stay put until she came back. The pegasi all saluted then took up position around the entrance to Sweet Apple Acres. Apple Bloom bounced around as she led the Princess into the farm, talking about all the ways she had helped out on the farm. Celestia listened intently while making sure to reply to Apple Bloom whenever she wanted an answer. It was foal's play for her to split her attention between the filly and looking for "Big Loo". It didn't take long for them to come up to the Apple Family's Homestead. Big Macintosh was in the fields, pulling their plow without much difficulty. Granny Smith sat in a rocking chair on the porch, eyes closed as she snored the day away. Apple Bloom greeted her family members before leading Celestia to the barn. Once they arrived, Celestia got a good look at "Big Loo".

And the moment she saw him, she had no doubt that these Digimon weren't native to Equestria. She was almost certain that she'd remember a dragon-sized, four-legged, purple-furred wolf with the amount of latent magical power this one possessed.

Applejack stood nearby, bucking an apple tree and letting the apples fall into the buckets around her. "Big Loo" was lying down a bit behind the orange mare. His head was resting on his large paws, the muzzle over his mouth making his breath come out as steam. His tail rested behind him as he kept his sharp eyes on Applejack. Applejack sighed and turned around, revealing to Celestia a strange device tied to her left hoof by an immaculately made bright red cloth. The device was rectangular and as large as an apple. It was the same color as Applejack's mane and had her cutie mark emblazoned across its sides and back. A blank greenish board was on the front of it, sparkling in the morning sun.

Celestia could hear the frustration in Applejack's tone as she spoke, "Loo, ah already told ya I'm fine! Ya'll don't have ta laze 'round watchin' me all day long."

"You say that," "Loo" said, his voice deep and rumbling, "but I distinctly remember you nearly passing out yesterday from pushing yourself too hard."

"That's only cause ah had been buckin' apple trees, an' doin' a buncha other things without any sleep!" Applejack asserted while stepping over to the large wolf-like creature, "But ah got better after Twi an' 'em came to lend me a hoof!"

"And it takes more than one good night's sleep to overcome the fatigue of multiple nights with no sleep," Loo said, his tone stoic and matter-of-fact.

Applejack smiled and puffed her chest, "Maybe fer any other mare, but ah'm an Apple! One good wink, and ah'll be ready to go quick as ya like!"

Loo hummed, "I wouldn't doubt it. But all the same, I would still rather watch over you just in case."

Applejack hung her head and sighed at Loo's answer. She turned to go back to her apple bucking but stopped as Apple Bloom ran up to her. She smiled and looked down at her sister, "Hey, lil' sis. Aren't ya'll supposed to be helping Big Mac with the fields?"

"Ah was, but ah saw somepony flying over the farm! They landed in the front, so ah went to greet 'em! An' guess who it was?! Go on, guess!" Apple Bloom could barely contain her excitement as she spoke to her sister. She was hopping from hoof to hoof while staring up at Applejack with a sparkle in her big eyes.

Applejack rolled her eyes, but the smile remained on her face, "Oh, just tell me, sugarcube. Yer actin' like the Princess fell from the sky or something."

"Funny you should say that, Applejack," Applejack nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of Celestia's voice. The ruler of Equestria stepped forward so she could be seen by everypony in attendance. Applejack said her name and quickly bowed to her. Loo, meanwhile, lifted himself to his paws with his eyes on Celestia. Said Princess greeted Applejack before turning her attention to the large wolf in the room. Looking up to meet the Digimon's eyes, she said to him, "Greetings. I've been told you were called 'Big Loo'. I am Princess Celestia. I don't mean to be rude, but would you happen to be a 'Digimon'?"

"That I am," he responded. At his full height, he had to lower his head to be level with Celestia. Then he bowed his head in respect, "Salutations, Princess Celestia. I am Loogarmon, the Champion form of Loogamon. Though, as such things are subject to change in the future, Applejack and her family have taken to calling me Loo or Big Loo. The second was suggested by Apple Bloom when she saw me."

"Because ya'll are bigger than Big Mac! An' the Princess!" Apple Bloom shouted as Applejack got up from her bow.

"What are ya'll doin' out here, Princess?" Applejack asked Celestia, "Didya stop by to visit? Maybe try some of Granny's famous Apple Family Pie?"

Celestia chuckled, "While that certainly sounds amazing, Applejack, I'm afraid not. I came due to the letter Twilight Sparkle sent me. Both because of what she wrote about your Digimon friends and due to a matter regarding the Elements Of Harmony."

"What?! Is somethin' wrong with the Elements?"

Celestia shook her head, "I don't believe so. But yesterday, bright lights shot out of them and headed in the direction of Ponyville. Along with a few strange objects that came with them."

"Ah," Loo got everypony's attention as he spoke. He lifted his head and said, "I believe I may know what that was, Princess. Applejack, do you remember what happened when the other Digimon and I evolved during the fight with MadLeomon?"

Applejack took a moment to think about what Loo was talking about. Then her eyes widened as she sat back on her haunches and lifted her left hoof up for all to see, "Ah right! Those Digivice things we all got!"

"Digivice?" Celestia asked, looking at the object on Applejack's left hoof.

AJ nodded and pointed at the Digivice, "These little things showed up on 'round our necks when the Digimon changed to Champion. They were 'ttached to these chains, but Rarity said they looked 'horrid'. So, she spent all of yesterday makin' these scarves we can wear on our hooves. Turned out that was the better idea. Watch this."

AJ lowered her hoof and tapped the screen of the device with her right hoof. The sound of a cowbell rang through the air before the object glowed with a bright blue light. A moment later, a large, rectangular, moving image appeared in front of Applejack's face. The image displayed a picture of Loogarmon on the left, while on the right were numerous strange numbers and words. Apple Bloom crooned with awe as she moved to look over her sister's shoulder. Celestia tilted her head, sensing the magic in the Digivice as it projected the image, "Fascinating. What exactly is it doing?"

"Not entirely sure. But ah can do some stuff with it. Like make the stuff here move," she put her hoof on the center of the image and swiped to the left. When she did, the image changed to a floating egg, then another image of words, before stopping on the first image again. AJ looked up at Celestia, "An' ah can use it ta change Big Loo back to his Rookie Form."

"Truly? May I please see that?" Celestia asked, turning her eyes to Loo.

Loo nodded, "It is for the best. It would make it easier for you to look at me. Whenever you're ready, Applejack."

"Got it, Loo. Now let me see here," she stuck her tongue out as she pressed her hoof onto the image of Loo. A second later, it split into two images. His current form was on the left, and his Rookie Form was on the right. Applejack smiled, then tapped the image of the Rookie. The Digivice beeped three times before a white beam of light shot out of the top toward Loogarmon. It hit him, made him glow a bright white, and then his body began to shrink. After a few moments, he reverted back to his Loogamon stage.

No longer towering over Celestia, he looked up at the Princess and bowed his head, "As you are no doubt wondering, yes, this is something that can be done with all of us...well...almost all of us."

"Almost?" Celestia asked, clearly curious about this exception.

"Lucey, Fluttershy's Digimon, can't change back," AJ explained while standing up. She adjusted her hat and said, "Twilight's lookin' into why along with Cornelius. They'll probably figure it out soon enough."

"Hmm, I see," Celestia smiled, then bowed her head to Loogamon, "Well, thank you for letting me see this, Applejack, Loogamon. And thank you for leading me here, Apple Bloom. It warms my heart to see my little ponies making new friends. Especially with those not native to our lands."

"You flatter me, Princess," Loo said, his tail wagging behind him, "If anypony here should be thankful, it should be me. After all, your subjects are the ones who-"

Loo was unable to finish as he was suddenly tackled by a brown and white blur. Surprised by the sudden tackle, he was unable to brace himself and was sent to the ground by the blur. When he stopped moving and looked up, he came face to face with Winona. The brown and white dog barked in Loo's face before starting to excitedly lick his face. Loo tried to avoid the licks by turning his head to the side. He sounded nervous as he spoke, "I-I am well aware you are fond of this form, Winona! But, please! Don't do this in front of the Princess!"

The three ponies all giggled as they watched Loo's predicament. Celestia spoke up, "There is no need to be embarrassed, Loo. If anything, I apologize for intruding on your time with her. I would assume that she's been this friendly with Loo since he arrived?"

"You betcha!" Applejack confirmed, "She's been happier than a pig in a mud bath since Loo came around. She was a might bit nervous 'round his bigger form, but that went away the moment he got smaller."

"Since then, she's been all over 'im whenever he is. Ain't that right, Winona?" Apple Bloom asked the dog. Winona barked in agreement, looking up and panting while her tail wagged behind her.

Loo groaned and gently lifted Winona off him. Once she was off, he rolled to his paws and shook his fur to get the wetness off. He looked over at Winona and said, "I appreciate you enjoying my company, Winona. However, please maintain decorum in front of the Princess and others. I'd rather not appear in such a state before other ponies."

"Oh, really? So you'd rather have Winona lick you all over when the two of you are alone?" the Princess' words made Applejack and Apple Bloom snort out of both surprise and elation. Neither could hold back their laughter as they fell to the ground, holding their stomachs while laughing up a storm. Somehow, the fur on Loo's face turned red as he rapidly tried to deny what the Princess had said, while Winona just stood behind him and continued to pant. Celestia was the picture of innocence as she smiled at his reaction.

Inwardly, she was happy about the turn of events.

It was good to see that these Digimon weren't very different from ponies.

After bidding farewell to the Apple Family and Loo, Celestia returned to her chariot and took to the skies once more. She didn't stay in it for long, as Ponyville was close by. Parking the chariot near the entrance, Celestia stepped out close to the northern edge of the town. Various ponies stopped to bow or greet her, and she made sure to take some time to greet them. While always make some headway toward her destination: Twilight's Library. Although she might not see all the Digimon today, she hoped to at least encounter a few on her way to her student's home. But when she reached the bright white walls of Carousel Boutique, she thought that perhaps destiny intended for her to see at least a few of them.

Standing outside the front door of the boutique were two familiar ponies and one baby dragon. Rarity stood between Rainbow Dash and Spike, her horn glowing as she held up two Digivices using her magic. One was a multi-colored Digivice with a lightning bolt along its back, while the other had the texture of a purple gem with green spikes on top. Another Digivice was wrapped around her left hoof, its pure white color accentuated by the blue gems painted on the sides.

Rainbow Dash was flapping her wings with her front hooves crossed over her chest. She rolled her eyes, then shouted, "Come on, Rarity! How long does it take to loop some cloth through a hole?!"

"Yeah!" a second voice from below RD shouted. Said voice belonged to "Squirt", now back in his V-mon Stage, standing right under RD. He, too, had his arms crossed and was tapping his right foot against the ground, "Rainbow needs that so I can evolve, and we can get started on our race!"

Rarity didn't seem to mind the interruptions. Her eyes were fully focused on the two Digivices held in her magic, "You cannot rush perfection, darlings. Now, shush. I need full concentration here. Ampurley! Spike! Be dears and bring the scarves, please."

"Right away, Rarity!" Spike said, rushing into the boutique to fetch what Rarity needed. He was soon followed by an orange, cat-like Digimon that easily outpaced the baby dragon while running on all fours. The Meicoomon opened the door for Spike before darting inside with him. In just a few seconds, the door was flung open again, and the two dashed out of the building. They both worked together to carry two long cloth scarves in their hands and halted next to Rarity. One was a long, rainbow-colored sash, while the other was a vibrant violet hue.

"Thank you both. Ampurley? If you would," Rarity waved her hoof through the air while releasing Rainbow Dash's Digivice from her magic. As the rectangular device fell, Meicoomon dashed up with the rainbow sash trailing behind her. She quickly grabbed the Digivice out of the air, took the sash in her claws, and swiftly looped it through the back hole in the device. Her claws were orange blurs, executing quick but precise movements to cut, fold, and tie the sash into the Digivice. Rarity did the same with Spike's Digivice, the violet sash moving in her magic until it was securely tied in place.

Ampurley landed in front of V-mon, then jumped up until she was in front of Rainbow Dash. She quickly grabbed Rainbow's left front hoof. She wrapped the sash around Rainbow's hoof before she could say anything, then used her left tail ribbon to pat Rainbow Dash's head. When she landed, V-mon walked up and whistled at Meicoomon, "Those were some nice moves, Ampurley! When you get a chance, the two of us should take some time to train together. It'll be fun, right?"

Ampurley looked at V-mon with an indifferent expression. Then, she gently hit him in the face with her ribbon while walking back to Rarity. V-mon backed up, shock evident on his face. He looked up at Rainbow Dash and asked, "What was that for? Was it something I said?"

Rainbow Dash shrugged, "Don't know. Who cares? Let's get you transformed, Squirt!"

The pegasus smiled and then held up her Digivice. V-mon smiled and readied himself for what was coming. Rainbow tapped her hoof against the screen a few times until she found what she was looking for. She smacked the screen, and a bright light shot out from the device toward V-mon. The sound of thunder rumbled despite the clear sky above as it engulfed V-Mon. The small blue Digimon rapidly grew as the light engulfed him until he was as tall and wide as a teenage dragon. When his evolution was finished, Squirt clapped his hands together and grinned up at Rainbow Dash, "Alright! You ready to lose, RD?!"

"As if, Squirt! You're still missing your wings, aren'tcha?" Rainbow said, flapping her own wings with pride.

"I-I don't need wings to match you in speed! Go on, I'll even give you a five-second head start," V-dramon waved at Rainbow while getting into a runner's stance.

Rainbow chuckled before doing the same, "Oh, I'm not gonna need that! You'd be better off taking it for yourself. Ready?"

"Always. Go!" and with Squirt's declaration, the two took off, V-dramon kicking up dust, while Rainbow Dash left a rainbow streak behind her. Ampurley used her tail to clear the dust away from Rarity and herself, shooting a glare in V-dramon's direction as she did.

She let out a yawn as she stopped next to Rarity's front left hoof. She reached up and gently touched the unicorn's leg with a claw. Rarity reached over and patted her Meicoomon's head while finishing up with Spike's Digivice, "Yes, yes, Ampurley. I haven't forgotten about your daily grooming session. Just give me a few more...there!"

She held up the finished Digivice, the sash looped through the hole in the back. She floated the object over to Spike and gently tied the Digivice to his wrist, saying, "Here you are, Spikey Wikey. Oh, it looks wonderful on you. A perfect match for your scales and eyes. Don't you agree?"

"S-Sure, Rarity," Spike said, his eyes fluttering as he stared at Rarity. He put his other claw over the Digivice, taking special care to rub the sash with his fingers, "Thanks you so much. I'll treasure it forever."

"I'm happy to hear that. Oh, and before I forget, here," Rarity used her horn to levitate a book out of her door and into Spike's hands, "Please return this to Twilight. As promised, she shall have 'Color Correction and Coordination' back before she knows it."

Spike took the book and saluted Rarity as she stood up and turned around. She called Ampurley while trotting back toward her store's door. Ampurley walked with her, looking back and waving goodbye to Spike. Once Rarity was gone, Spike took the book in both his claws and started heading towards Twilight's home. He had just reached Ponyville's main road when he saw a familiar white Alicorn standing nearby. His eyes widened, and he smiled while rushing over, "Oh! Princess Celestia! What are you doing here?"

"Hello, Spike," Celestia responded while falling into a steady pace alongside the baby dragon, "It is good to see you're doing well. I'm simply here to follow up on the letter Twilight sent me the other day."

"Oh, right. The one we sent about our Digimon and stuff," Spike looked at the Digivice on his wrist before looking back at the Princess. He smiled as he said, "So, have you met any of them already? I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"I have personally spoken to one. Loo, I believe his name was. I also saw the dark blue one that transformed into a teenage dragon accompanying Rainbow Dash, and the orange cat-like one with Rarity. However, I don't think I got their names."

"Ah! That's Squirt and Ampurely. Ampurely is a Meicoomon and is pretty much Rarity's second cat. Squirt's a V-mon that can turn into V-dramon. I was honestly surprised when we found that out. But I'm also happy. Now I've got two more dragon friends I can hang out with. Oh, that reminds me, I need to introduce you to Babs! He's a Coredramon and is back at the library with Twilight right now. You'll love him. When you meet him, make sure to rub his belly; he really likes that."

Celestia smiled softly at the baby dragon, "Hmm, if somepony could make such a great impression on you, Spike, then I certainly do want to meet them. And how has Twilight Sparkle been doing with her own Digimon? Cornelius, I think?"

Spike flinched at the mention of Cornelius. Celestia noticed and raised a worried eyebrow. Spike rubbed the back of his neck, "Ah, well, um, about that. Ya see...Cornelius...well...he gets along well with Twilight. Maybe a bit...too well."

"Hmm?" Celestia hummed questioningly. But before she could speak, the two were interrupted by the sound of wings flapping above them. Looking up, they saw that they had reached their destination: Twilight's Treehouse. Sounds came from within and above the building. One being the wing flaps they had heard as they approached. A large shadow fell over both of them as whatever was above them made a second pass over their heads. Then the owner of the wings landed in front of them, kicking up a bit of dust as they hit the ground. Celestia looked up and immediately assumed she was looking at a strange young adult dragon. It was large enough to be one, dwarfing her in size and nearly as tall as some of the buildings in Ponyville. It stared down at the two of them with its sharp red eyes, its dark blue scales flexing with its movements.

Celestia briefly considered asking it what it was doing here, but Spike beat her to it. He stepped forward and smiled up at the dragon, "Babs! I'm back! And, say hello to the ruler of Equestria and Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia!"

Spike held out both his hands towards the Princess as he introduced her. Babs' eyes widened in realization. He waved his arms in panic before getting down on his knees and bowing deeply to Celestia. He spoke with nervousness in his voice, "Sorry. Princess. Didn't. Know. Please. Forgive!"

Celestia felt an invisible weight lift from her shoulders. Her smile widened as she reached out and tapped Babs on his snout, "It is quite alright, Babs. There is no need for any formalities here. You may stand."

Babs did as asked and got to his feet. He looked Celestia up and down, his eyes sparkling as he spoke, "Wow. You so pretty and tall. Mane is so beautiful."

"Why thank you, Babs. I think your scales are rather rugged myself," she reached out and rubbed his smooth underbelly. The dragon's tail and wings shot up as a dopey expression came over his face. He started to laugh as Celestia rubbed up and down his soft yellow scales. She stopped after a few seconds before looking to Spike, "You were right, he does like that."

"Told you. Babs! I've got my Digivice all ready. So we can turn you back into, uh, what'd ya call your Rookie Form?" Spike asked while holding up his Digivice.

"Dracomon X," Babs said while moving to stand by Spike, "This mean. I can. Go inside?"

Spike nodded and tapped away at his Digivice, "Uh huh. You're too big to get in there right now. You couldn't get through the front door, and would probably put holes in the floor. Just give me a second to...here!"

As before, a bright light shot from Spike's device and onto Babs. A low dragon growl echoed through the air. Within a moment, Babs shrank and transformed back into his bright blue Dracomon X form. The dragon happily flapped his wings and swiftly ran over to the door. Now that he was the same size as Spike, such a thing didn't seem that unfeasible. Sharing a knowing glance, Spike and Celestia walked over to the door as well. Spike spoke up, "You'll see what I meant when we get inside, Princess. Twilight and Cornelius got along so well, that I don't think they've stopped talking to each other the whole day."

Babs suddenly turned and spoke up, "Oh. Remembered! Other. Ponies. Came. Today! Fluttershy and Pinkie!"

"How wonderful," Celestia said as Spike opened the door to the library. She stepped through, keeping her eye on Spike and Babs, "If they're with their Digimon, then that means I can speak with them as we-"

"Lucey! Look out!"

The sound of multiple wings spreading out to stop something reached Celestia's ears. She quickly turned around, magic already prepared to halt whatever was flying at her in its tracks. However, the flying creature, which she assumed was a Digimon, halted just before it collided with her. She came face to face with one of the strangest creatures she had ever seen. It was bipedal like a minotaur, but had no fur or horns. Its pink skin was exposed to the open air with only a strange white sheet covering its torso and lower half. The appendages on the ends of its legs and arms weren't claws or paws. Yet, it had six pairs of wings that were as large and white as hers.

"Lucey", she assumed, floated just before her with its wings outstretched. It started flapping them, its bright blue eyes meeting her bright violet ones. The two continued to stare at each other, seemingly ignoring Pinkie Pie, Cutie, Twilight Sparkle, and Cornelius who were staring at them.

Celestia tilted her head to the left.

Lucey copied her.

She tilted her head to the right.

Lucey copied her.

She straightened her head.

Lucey copied her.

She raised an eyebrow, and Lucey copied her. When she hummed in thought, Lucey's lips curled into a smile. Then he reached out his arm, lifted the things on his appendage up, and placed them underneath Celestia's chin. Before she could say anything, he did something even she wasn't expecting.

He started scratching her chin.

And, shockingly, it felt good.

"So, you're Princess Celestia?" she barely heard him, his voice was certainly masculine, as she tried to keep her composure, despite the way his appendage somehow managed to hit all the hard-to-reach spots under her chin, "Twilight said you were beautiful. But she didn't say you were cute too.~"

"Lucemon!" Twilight and Fluttershy shouted at the Digimon. He quickly flew away from Celestia, one hand over his mouth to stifle his giggles. Celestia gave a nonchalant smile to maintain appearances, while secretly plotting to see if she could get Lucemon to do that again.

And cementing in her mind that these Digimon were definitely staying with Twilight and her friends.

Author's Note

Okay. Done. Hope you all enjoy! Sorry if not a lot happened this Chapter. I wanted to finish it this weekend while also giving looks at each of the Digimon's personalities...for the most part. Hopefully, next chapter has a bit more meet.

Also, I have now finished Season 3 of the show.
