01 Butterflies [Visual]

[strengthinkindness]

[Today's scroll is brought to you by a small brown rabbit, who appears very curious as he looks into it.]

Huh...these things are way weirder than the D-Terminals... [The rabbit clears his throat and smiles.] Hey everyone! ...Pony? ...Pony. Right. Hey everypony! My name's Choco. I'm one of Fluttershy's Digimon!

What are you doing?

[The brown rabbit, Choco, glances behind him before scooting over a bit, revealing a green and red dragon giving him a rather exasperated look.]

That's Sprout. She's Fluttershy's other Digimon.

Seriously? Here too?

She's just grumpy that coming to this world apparently changed our forms too. [He turns to her, though still keeps an eye on the scroll.] At least you're a dragon. I don't think I can do much of anything as a rabbit.

[The dragon known as Sprout rolls her eyes, then reaches for him.] All right, that's enough, bunny boy...

But I'm not done....

[There's not much he can do, though, as the bigger dragon picks him up and carries him off. As she does that, Fluttershy herself appears on the scroll. This close up, one can see the dragonfly clip in her mane, and she looks at the scroll with a puzzled expression, as though she's not quite used to using it.]

I-I, um...I'm sorry...about them. Ch-Choco was just...a little excited about following me home...but, um...

I-Is...something going on in Ponyville? Th-There...There seems to be a lot more ponies than usual, and...i-it feels like...

[She hesitates for a moment, not quite sure how to describe it.]

Has...Has something happened lately?

Comments

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushed a little with a shy smile.] I-I guess so...

Still...you've been very kind so far.

[strawberryredgrave]

Don't mention it. You just worry about getting yourself and your pals situated and I'll be here when I'm needed.

Name's Dante, by the way.

[strengthinkindness]

It's...nice to meet you, Dante. I-I'm...Fluttershy.

O-Oh...but you...might have already known that.

[strawberryredgrave]

I know your counterparts, but don't worry; it's my first time with you.

[strengthinkindness]

[If that was supposed to mean anything, it completely goes over Fluttershy's head.]

W-Well, it's...nice to meet you...

[Meanwhile, the Digi-animals might have caught any implication, and they're giving him a not-so-happy look.]

[strawberryredgrave]

The pleasure's all mine.

(Man, it's as if these animal companions can see through Dante's nonsense. Every time, man...)

So...I take it others have filled you in already, right?

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...a little bit. I'm still picking up things here and there, but everyone says it would be better if I get settled in first before learning all the...serious issues...

[strawberryredgrave]

Might be for the best. It gets pretty crazy around these parts...crazier than I thought a pony world could get. Gotta say, I kinda like it.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...a lot of strange things do happen around here...

[Even back in her own Equestria.]

[strawberryredgrave]

And I happen to like strange things. Kinda make my living off of 'em. Sure, this is more...colorful than what I'm used to, but the excitement's still there.

[strengthinkindness]

W-Well, I'm...glad you can be comfortable here...

[strawberryredgrave]

(He shrugs.)

I'm a fast learner. Hopefully, you're one, too.

[strengthinkindness]

E-Er...m-maybe? I'll...try my best...
