Author's Note: I decided to shake things up and come up with a Digimon twist on basic fairy tales. I've been writing on one of my fics, How I Met Your Mother, and decided I could use some outlet for some fresh, lighthearted fluff (I mean fluff as in just fun garbage, not in the typical fanfiction context). Anyways, since I would consider this under humor/mindless fun garbage, this will have a bunch of rude language and behavior, so if you're all about etiquette and being polite, this collection of stories is not for you. No lemons, limes, or citrus trees here, unless we're talking about the literal fruits- so sorry to disappoint. I'm trying to keep it at a T rating so that most people can enjoy it. But if possible, maybe add some explosions and unnecessary car races...I dunno. I'll think about it...oh, and since this is a collection of stories, there will be characters from Adventure all the way through Data Squad, and possibly Fusion, because they were all dubbed. I can't read fast enough for subs, okay? Anyways, I think I covered everything...oh, and if you're reading this j8919, hi! And thank you to everyone who's been reading, following, faving, and reviewing! It's wicked awesome, you have no idea! Lots of love and candy,

A Cinderella Story
In a land not far, far away lived a young girl named Yolei. She was the youngest of four children, and although both her parents were alive and still happily married to each other, and despite the fact that Yolei was their biological kid and her hair was naturally a lovely shade of violet, that did not stop her parents from treating her like a redheaded stepchild. It simply wasn't fair. Most kids who were the baby in the family got to do whatever they want, they were spoiled with more presents on the holidays and birthdays, but Yolei? Pfft, she had to work at the stupid convenience store since she was 9 years old, because all of her older siblings had too many "responsibilities" at school. And forget about getting any brand new clothes, if the hand-me-downs weren't so raggedy by the time they made it to her. On one hand, it was a good thing the school implemented a uniform dress code, but what was Yolei supposed to do outside of school? She didn't want to look like a Holly Hobbie doll, but you can only shoplift at so many places before people question it. Would you say Yolei is the tragic heroine of this story? Tragic, yes. Heroine... that's your call.
Anyways, it was another stupid day at school when her friends approached her in homeroom.
"Oh my God, did you hear Tai's gonna throw a massive rager at our place? He told me to invite you if he didn't see you first," Kari leaned over Yolei's desk.
"Thanks, but you know I can't go," Yolei crossed her arms and rested her back against the chair.
"Come on! It's the biggest party of the year so far!" Zoe whined.
"Please don't remind me," Yolei sighed. "Besides, even if I did show up, my stupid sisters will probably be there and they'll rat me out to my parents because they're bitch faces. Look what Momoe did with this jacket before she decided it 'didn't fit' her anymore," Yolei held up a hoodie with a smiley face cut out in the back.
"Really? She took the time out to do that?" Kari frowned.
"Yeah," Yolei huffed.
"You know, you can always go through our stuff," Zoe bit her lip.
"Hah! You guys are cute, little fairies and I'm a freaking basketball player! I'm too tall," Yolei groaned.
"Aww...hey, we can go to Harajuku in two weeks! I think that's enough time for them to forget our faces, right?" Kari asked.
"Yeah! We can use our special 'discount' again then, as long as we're careful," Zoe nodded.
"You guys are the best," Yolei grinned.
"Yeah. Just remember to wear the best outfit you have. Oh, and keep the party in mind just in case!" Kari winked.
"Okay, whatever...," Yolei sighed.
Later that night...
"Hey, you're friends with Kamiya, right?" Yolei's older sister, Chizu grabbed a stick of gum from the display and opened it. Chizu was one of those girls who tried to be artsy and whimsical, even though she had the personality and blandness of milk. She thought she looked 1960's chic with her rose-colored glasses and strawberry blonde hair cut in a short bob, but let's just call it as we see it. Chizu looked like a colorblind coconut head with dyslexia glasses on. Yolei couldn't stand her, especially since Chizu would complain about how overwhelmed she was with schoolwork, but yet, here she was standing in the convenience store, doing nothing but annoying Yolei with her presence.
"What's it to you?" Yolei grunted.
"Oh, could you put in a good word for me? I think he's cute," Chizu put all the pieces of gum in her mouth and chewed it up into an ungodly wad.
"No. Tai likes pretty girls," Yolei grabbed a broom.
"Hey! That's rude! I'm telling Mom and Dad you're not working!" Chizu said, her mouth full of chewed up gum and spit.
"Why don't you go do that homework that you bitch so much about and leave me alone?" Yolei grunted.
"I'm telling!" Chizu gargled under her spit and stomped out of the store.
"Bye!" Yolei snarled. "Stupid bitch..."
"Which one? Chizu or Momoe?" an older boy walked out from behind a shelf.
"Mantarou! What are you doing here?" Yolei went up to hug the boy. His curly brown hair was almost the same caramel shade as his skin. He was the darkest (and oldest) kid in the family, and if anyone was to be a stepchild- or love child, it should have been him, but yet, Yolei's parents treated him just as well as they treated the other two sisters. For some reason, they just didn't like Yolei. But at least Mantarou was cool. He was the only sibling Yolei liked. It just sucked because he was away at college now.
"Don't tell the family I'm here. Just grabbing some stuff I need," Mantarou said.
"You're so lucky you get to be away for all of this. I can't wait until I get to go to college too," Yolei sighed.
"About that...the parents aren't planning on letting you go to college. They need someone to run the store and since Momoe and Chizu will be going off in the next couple of years, that leaves you...here," Mantarou winced.
"That's not fair!" Yolei stomped her foot.
"Hate to break it to you, but first come, first serve?" Mantarou shrugged.
"What? How?! They were born first! How is that remotely fair?" Yolei gasped.
"You know our parents. They're not exactly the most logical people. I told them to stop after Momoe...and then Chizu came along," Mantarou gagged. "Look, I wish I could help out but I'm just a college kid. Here's a little something though that might help. I was gonna use it for myself, but I decided why not give it to you?" Mantarou handed Yolei a pill in a tiny Ziploc bag.
"What's this?" Yolei raised an eyebrow.
"My friend gave it to me. I don't remember the official name, but the street name is called the Fairy Godmother. It's a nice trip that's supposed to last for a couple of hours, and I hear it feels so good, it's like you took a trip to Disney or something. Like all your dreams came true. I'd say save it for a really shitty day when you're by yourself, cause I never tried this drug before so I don't know what it's like," Mantarou wagged his finger at her.
"Hmm. Okay...thanks," Yolei nodded.
"No problem. Anyways, I'm gonna go before any of them see me. Good luck. And tell me how it is!" Mantarou waved and left the store.
"Fairy godmother. Hmm," Yolei hummed to herself as she tucked the pill in her pocket.
"Miyako! What's this I hear about you slacking off?" Yolei's mom strolled into the store.
"What?! I came here straight after school! And my name is Yolei, remember?" Yolei crossed her arms.
"Don't care," Yolei's mom yawned in boredom. "Look, Chizu told us you were opening up candy and eating it without paying for it. Do you know how bad that looks on us?"
"She's the one who-"
"You're gonna have to work that pack of gum off now, plus interest," Yolei's dad frowned.
"What? You guys don't even pay me anything! And she was the one who took the gum! Check the cameras!" Yolei pointed to the security camera in the corner.
"We're not going to look at a bunch of footage for something as petty as that! We're just gonna have you work Friday until late night to pay it off. After all, who's word is more reliable? A nice-looking girl like Chizu or a girl who...dresses like she doesn't know how to take care of her things? Why are you so irresponsible?" Yolei's mom reached for Yolei's torn-up sweater and sighed.
"I think it's because we spoiled her too much," Yolei's dad shook his head. "Some children need more discipline. I guess we're doing something wrong with this one."
"I could write a whole Harry Potter series on it," Yolei muttered.
"See? She's being smart with us! Just for that, you're working all weekend!" Yolei's dad snapped his fingers.
"What?! That's not fair! I've already worked every day this week! How come Momoe or Chizu don't have to work at the store?" Yolei protested.
"Because they have schoolwork," Yolei's mom said.
"And I don't?" Yolei huffed.
"We never see you doing any," Yolei's dad shrugged.
"Because I'm always working and cleaning up here!" Yolei grunted.
"Oh. Sucks for you! Anyways, once you close up shop, go straight home and clean the kitchen! Goodnight!" Yolei's mom said and walked away.
"Ugh, I hate you guys...," Yolei muttered under her breath.
"You're the reason I finally got a vasectomy! Don't forget to Windex the glass doors! We'll be watching!" Yolei's dad sang and left the shop.
"Ugh, you'll watch the cameras to make sure I do my work but you won't look back to see that Chizu was the one who's been eating candy on the house? Assholes," Yolei grumbled as she grabbed a bottle of window cleaner and a room of paper towels.
Friday Night...
The convenience store was at its busiest point so far in the week. Students were being let out for the weekend, adults were heading home from a 60-hour workweek (hey, it's Japan, remember?), and young adults were stocking up on shitty beers to wind down from a long week of classes and minimum wage jobs. And yet, it was another week where Yolei wouldn't be able to partake in any weekend warrior festivities. She felt like a princess locked in a tower guarded by fire-breathing dragons, except that tower just happened to be the register, and the dragons were just her ugly ass sisters with Spicy Chili Doritos breath.
"Hey, Yolei! Am I gonna see you at my party?" Tai walked up to the register and placed a huge pack of root beer on the counter.
"Fat chance. It's pretty busy tonight," Yolei sighed.
"Bummer. Why can't one of your sisters cover? It's not like they have any friends, right?" Tai snorted.
"There's Jun," Yolei smirked.
"We all know she doesn't count. They're all fucking annoying," Tai laughed.
"True," Yolei nodded.
"Well, I still hope you can make it. Keeping my fingers crossed!" Tai nodded.
"Thanks for that," Yolei sighed. "Anyways, that'll be $15."
"Here ya go! Peace!" Tai gave her the cash and walked off.
"Bye," Yolei waved.
"Ahem!" a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and glasses marched up to Yolei and crossed her arms. Although she was a high-school senior, she looked like she bought all of her clothes from the mom section of the J. Crew catalog. No, not the maternity section. I'm talking about the legit section where your mother would pick her clothes out. This girl dressed plainer than Jane. But alas, she was not Jane. She was Momoe...
"What do you want?" Yolei sighed.
"Did Tai just say I was annoying?" Momoe tapped her foot.
"Yes. And he also said you dress like a virgin," Yolei said.
"At least I don't dress like a hobo!" Momoe snapped.
"This is your fault, you know that, right?" Yolei stretched her arms to the side.
"Hmph," Momoe smirked.
"You're wasting my time. What's up?" Yolei snapped her fingers.
"I was wondering if you could set me up with Tai...but-"
"Sorry, Chizu asked first," Yolei interrupted.
"What?! I told her I liked him first! Besides, he's too old for her! Oh, she's gonna get it!" Momoe stomped out of the store.
"Okay, this is ridiculous. I need to take a break," Yolei looked around the store. Luckily no one was around, so she locked the door and walked to the bathroom. She was going to pull her phone out of her apron until she felt something small in her pocket.
"Hey, I forgot about this...," she held up the small packet. She peeked her head out of the bathroom. What was the worst that was going to happen? But then again, this drug seemed to be so experimental, that even Mantarou didn't even know how it worked and he tried every drug in the name of "science". As daring as Yolei could be, there are some things even she could be scared of. She decided to grab a can of Arizona and hydrate herself while she thought about what to do. "You know what? I'll just pour some juice in a cup and drop the pill in and see what happens. If anything, I'll just say it felt like an Alka-Seltzer," Yolei reasoned to herself. She walked over to the slushie machine and grabbed a foam cup. As she poured the Arizona on top of the pill, she shrugged. "Well, that was a dud. Guess back to my regularly scheduled programming...," Yolei shrugged and walked away.
*hisssssss* the concoction began to bubble and glow.
"What the hell?!" Yolei gasped.
*BOOM*
"Greetings! Hawkmon at your assistance!" a bird-like creature appeared from the smoke. It kind of looked like a miniature bald eagle who got tangled up in the overpriced, culturally-appropriated accesories at Urban Outfitters.
"Huh? I can't be tripping! I didn't even take the drug!" Yolei looked at the creature in disbelief.
"No, I'm not a figment of your imagination! I am a guardian sent to you from the universe!" Hawkmon said.
"Huh?" Yolei pushed her glasses up.
"I see that look on your face and I assume you're a bit perplexed, so let me explain myself. I was sent here to accompany and assist you for a couple of hours!" Hawkmon said in pride.
"What?" Yolei raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, that's right. I'm talking to humans...okay, so I have the ability to grant you a couple of wishes, within reason of course. I don't have enough power to for example cure cancer, raise people from the dead, kill people, make you Kylie Jenner rich, things like that. But small wishes I can do. So what would you like to do?" Hawkmon asked.
"Man, I want to party and shit!" Yolei put her hands on her hips.
"That's seriously what you want to do for the next couple of hours?" Hawkmon asked.
"Hey, do you know my life? All I do is work. And my clothes are always such a mess because my sisters purposely ruin them before handing them down to me, and my parents call me by the wrong name... I don't even know if they do it on purpose or not- you sure I can't kill anyone?" Yolei asked.
"Yolei...," Hawkmon sighed.
"Alright, alright! Can I at least wish to be adopted into a nice, loving family?" Yolei asked.
"Unfortunately no. All wishes are temporary and last a couple of hours. I'll be here by your side, but after midnight I have to go back so we better make it count," Hawkmon said.
"Alright! I just gotta text a couple people back. In the meantime, I wish someone would come break into the store, empty out the register, and then they can meet me in the back alley and give me the money. Oh, before that, I wish that security camera broke," Yolei said.
"Your wish is my command...," Hawkmon sighed. He was in for a long night.
At Marshall's...
"Aww, he's so cute!" Kari petted Hawkmon.
"See, he's real! And he helped me rob the convenience store!" Yolei said in pride.
"Please don't give me any credit for that," Hawkmon groaned.
"Oooh, now that you have money, you can go shopping for clothes the honest way!" Zoe smiled.
"Psh, are you serious? Why would I do that when I have Hawkmon with me? I have bigger plans!" Yolei grinned.
"What are you thinking?" Kari's eyes grew large.
"What if I told you we can use our five-finger discount now that we have an invisibility cloak?" Yolei smirked.
"Yolei, I don't grant invisibility wishes. And even if I did, I wouldn't be able to cover your friends. I'm only appointed to you," Hawkmon said.
"Fine, fine, fine...," Yolei sighed. "Alright, let's just browse around and look at all the stuff we like, okay girls?"
"Why are you winking at us?" Zoe whispered.
"I have a plan...just pick out whatever you like and give it to me. And I mean whatever you like," Yolei winked.
"Uh...okay," Kari bit her lip and shrugged.
"Alright. Are you guys done here? I think I am," Yolei filled up a couple of tote bags with clothes.
"Yeah, I found a couple of things...," Zoe handed Yolei some stuff.
"Same!" Kari said.
"Alright Hawkmon! I wish there was a distraction big enough for me to leave the store with all this stuff without anyone noticing," Yolei said.
"Your wish is unfortunately my command...," Hawkmon groaned and paddled after her. Suddenly a fight broke out at the checkout lane and customers were filming each other and jumping in.
"Sweet," the girls said and swiftly left the store.
At Zoe's house...
"Wow, I can't believe how many places we managed to hit up! I feel like it's too good to be true...," Zoe said in awe.
"I want to wear something to the party, but I don't know what to choose from," Kari sorted through all of her new clothes.
"Shoot, I forgot my sensor remover at home," Yolei huffed.
"Why don't you just wish up a new outfit?" Zoe asked.
"Good idea! Hawkmon! I wish I had a fly ass outfit to wear to the party!" Yolei said.
"Your wish is my command," Hawkmon sighed.
"Whoa... that's an interesting get-up," Zoe remarked.
"You like?" Yolei grinned.
"It sure looks fly...as in you could fly an airplane, Amelia Earhart," Kari raised an eyebrow.
"It looks good, right?" Yolei looked at herself in the mirror. She wore red puffy pants, a light blue long-sleeved shirt underneath a tan vest, ugly brown boots that made her large feet look even larger, white gloves, and a weird helmet that kinda looked like a snail shell.
"It's sure unique," Zoe nervously smiled.
"I just realized we could have wished to pop all the tags out!" Kari said.
"Oh, let me do that right now-"
"Already on it...," Hawkmon groaned.
"Thanks Hawkmon! You're the best!" all the girls smiled.
"Really? Cause I feel particularly criminal right now," Hawkmon heaved.
At the party!
"Whoo hoo! Who's ready to fuck shit up?!" Yolei screamed.
"Chill girl!" Tai snuck up behind her. "Besides, no alcohol here. I got in trouble last time. You already drunk though?"
"No! I'm just high on a little something called life!" Yolei laughed.
"Well glad you could make it!" Tai gave her a high five.
"Wow, it's more crowded than I thought it was going to be," Kari said.
"What do you mean by that? It's Tai! He's the most popular guy in the school- everyone's gonna want to show up, and he's too nice to tell party crashers to buzz off," Yolei said.
"She's right," Zoe said.
"So what should we do?" Kari said.
"I don't know about you, but I'm gonna kiss all the boys! All the boys...except Tai cause that's your brother and that's kinda weird," Yolei said.
"I appreciate that," Kari made a face.
"Shit! Hawkmon... I wish I could see without glasses. These things are gonna get in the way when I make out with someone!" Yolei huffed.
"I think I can make that work... unfortunately," Hawkmon cried to himself.
"Perfecto! Here I go!" Yolei handed her glasses to Kari and marched through the crowd.
"Oh my...God bless her soul," Zoe dropped her mouth.
"I should probably follow her," Hawkmon trudged along, still crying.
"Hello hot stuff!" Yolei batted her eyelashes at Matt.
"I feel like I know you from somewhere, but I-"
"Just shut up and kiss me!" Yolei grabbed him by his head and stuck her tongue in his mouth.
"Whoa...," Matt turned red.
"What's going on here?" TK walked over to them.
"I have some for you too!" Yolei pinned him against the wall and started making out with him.
"What on Earth?" Matt muttered to himself.
"Okay, gotta go!" Yolei stopped kissing TK and skipped away. She passed by a group of kids playing a card game and lingered for a second. "So, who's winning?"
"We're just getting started," Ken said.
"Oh...well, so am I," Yolei approached him and sat on his lap.
"Hello...?" Ken nervously smiled.
"Hello to you too," Yolei grinned and kissed him.
"Oh my God, I don't believe what's going on right now," Izzy looked in shock.
"Don't worry, there's enough for everyone!" Yolei got up and made out with Izzy.
"Hey, what's the big idea, you slut? We're all trying to play a game here!" Mimi whined.
"Did someone feel left out?" Yolei let go of Izzy and tackled Mimi.
"No, get away from me!" Mimi screamed.
"No, I want you too," Yolei smirked as she kissed Mimi.
"Oooh, check out the chicks making out!" a muscly guy with shoulder-length hair chuckled.
"Hey, I know you want in on the fun too Marcus!" Yolei said.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" the guy asked.
"Whatever, just shut up!" Yolei grabbed Marcus by his hair and gave him a passionate kiss. "Goodbye!" she said and walked over to the snack table. Man, making out all night was definitely making her thirsty. She saw Davis at the other end of the table and paused...nah. She'll pass. She grabbed a can of root beer and kept scanning the room.
"Yolei, you need to get in my room now!" Kari said.
"Whoa girl! I'd say yes, but I think it would make our friendship really weird," Yolei frowned.
"I'm just warning you that your outfit is slowly disintegrating. What are you talking about?" Kari raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing! Wait, what?!" Yolei gasped.
"You haven't noticed?" Zoe looked at her.
"No, I can't even...see...oh my God! I'm going blind again! Hawkmon! What the heck is going on?!" Yolei gasped.
"In my room, now!" Kari ushered everyone inside her room.
"Here's your glasses," Zoe handed Yolei her glasses back.
"It's 11:45... everything's wearing off. That means I have to go in a couple of minutes," Hawkmon gasped.
"Noooo! You can't leave!" Yolei grabbed onto Hawkmon. "I was having so much fun! Stay!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't. I just don't have the ability...," Hawkmon gasped under Yolei's tight grip.
"Yolei, take it easy!" Zoe tried to pry Yolei's arms apart.
"But why are my clothes fading apart?" Yolei sobbed.
"All of the wishes are temporary, including the clothes that you wished up," Hawkmon shook his head.
"So all those clothes we 'bought' today are gonna disappear too?" Kari asked.
"Actually, she found a loophole around that. But if you don't make it back to the convenience store before the cameras fix themselves at midnight...I can't believe I'm saying this, but your parents are going to wonder why you were gone for so long, along with the money," Hawkmon sighed.
"He's right! We have to make it look like you were held hostage or something!" Zoe said.
"Not a bad idea! But first, I need to cover up somehow...," Yolei looked down at herself.
"Uh...this is the biggest dress I have," Kari pulled out a loose, floor-length sundress.
"Cool. It'll look like a minidress on me," Yolei slipped it on. She adjusted her glasses and the girls headed back out to the party.
"Hey, it's a good thing you guys were hiding out there. You missed it. This total fashion mistake was making out with all of the boys at the party, talk about total sleaze! I don't even know if she even goes here," Mimi huffed.
"Hey, she wasn't making out with just all the boys. I heard through the grapevine she had a taste of the Mimi too," Matt heckled.
"What?!" Zoe and Kari shrieked and looked at Yolei.
"Shut up! It was disgusting! You big jerk!" Mimi shoved Matt and stomped away.
"Yeah, you guys definitely missed it! No idea who the girl was but damn. Didn't know she went around like that. If I knew, I'd slip her my number," Matt winked.
"Matt, remember I'm like a baby sister to you...save the locker room talk for everyone else," Kari pouted.
"That's right. Well, see ya later," Matt turned red and walked off.
"Yolei...," Zoe gasped.
"I might have gotten carried away. Oops...," Yolei coyly shrugged.
Back at the convenience store!
"Alright, does this look legit enough?" Kari held up a rope.
"Give that to me!" Zoe took the rope and tied it around in a knot. "Perfetto!"
"Wow, love the craftsmanship," Yolei nodded.
"Thanks. I was in Eagle Scouts. They taught us 326 ways of tying a knot," Zoe said.
"Alright...well, my time is up. I hope you had a night to remember. Maybe we'll meet again one day. Best of wishes to you, Yolei. Farewell," Hawkmon said and disintegrated away.
"Goodbye Hawkmon. Thank you for everything," Yolei sniffled.
"Aww, sucks he had to leave. He was cute," Kari frowned.
"That was a fun night though," Zoe smiled.
"Hey, I got a quick question," Kari asked.
"What's up?" Yolei asked.
"You didn't kiss Davis, did you?" Kari asked.
"Oh God no! Hell no!" Yolei scoffed.
"Aww, thank you for being such a good friend! You know how much I like him," Kari hugged Yolei.
"Yeah totally...has nothing to do with how gross I think he is," Yolei muttered to herself.
"Kari, if you like him, then why don't you make a move already?" Zoe asked.
"I feel like that might be a story for another day," Kari sighed.
"Oh my God, what the hell happened here?" Yolei's parents walked into the store.
"I got robbed?" Yolei nervously said.
"By these two?" Yolei's mom pointed at Zoe and Kari.
"No! By some random guy! He was wearing black everything! And he took the money and ran. And I was tied up for hours!" Yolei dramatically said.
"I guess we'll have to check the cameras!" Yolei's dad pulled out his phone and made a face. "Uh...honey? I think the camera app is broken."
"Why?" Yolei's mom asked.
"Because instead of the store footage for the past couple of hours, I'm getting episodes of Jackie Chan Adventures... that's a good show. Hey, you want to see if we can Chromecast it to our TV in the bedroom?" Yolei's dad asked.
"That sounds nice!" Yolei's mom smiled. "Okay kids, goodnight! And Miyako, clean up this mess and lock up! Bye!"
"Wow...unbelievable. And I thought my parents sucked," Zoe looked in disbelief.
"Nope. Total assholes," Yolei sighed. "At least tonight was a night to remember."
The end!
