based on the Disney movie, "Beauty and the Beast"
Prologue:
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a young digidestined named Yamato "Matt" Ishida. Although he had everything his heart desired, he was spoiled, selfish and unkind to others.
Then one day, an old woman came to Matt's door to ask for shelter in exchange for an enchanted rose. Disgusted the the old woman's looks, Matt turned her away. The woman warned Matt not to be deceived by looks, but Matt still turned her away. Then the woman's ugliness vanished and was replaced by Queen Grimhilde (of Snow White fame). Matt realized who he just talked to and tried to apologize, but the Queen said it was too late, and that he had no good in his heart.
As punishment, the queen turned Matt into a hideous Digimon. The rose she offered really was an enchanted rose, which would bloom until Matt's next birthday. If he could fall in love with someone by the time the rose lost its last pedal, he would be human again. If not, he will remain a digimon for all eternity.
Ashamed of his ugly appearance, Matt hid himself in his castle. The only way he could look into the outside world was through the aid of a magic digivice. Weeks have passed, and Matt still couldn't find true love. He began to feel pessimistic, for who would learn to love a digimon?
