Episode 1
Nadia and Ponymon
John F. Kennedy airport…
"Flight 447 will be departing momentarily," Rang a woman's voice from the intercom of the airport. "All passengers should board at gate 12B, thank you."
"Well, I guess that's my flight." Said Nadia Sebano, as she picked her black duffle bag up, throwing it around her shoulder. She was fifteen years old with long curly black hair that lay against her back. She wore a blue jean jacket with a white shirt underneath bearing a black nike sign on the front, followed by blue jean Capri's and some black sandals. Right now she was headed to Japan as a foreign exchange student and couldn't wait to get there, just as soon as her mom and dad stopped hugging her to death.
"Nadia," her mother groaned. "I'm going to miss you soooo much!"
"Yeah," Her dad agreed, a tear dripping from his right eye. "My little girl, gone for a whole year…"
Nadia shook her head with a sigh and smiled. "You two, it's not like it's going to be totally quiet without me. Maia and Rueben will still be here."
Both parents cast a dazed look at one another upon hearing those words. A teardrop beside both their heads. "Right, how could we forget the twins?" Laughed her mother as she shut her green eyes. Obviously being sarcastic. Before her dad could say anything more, Nadia kissed him upon the cheek followed by her mother and turned around walking towards the gate.
"I'll call as soon as I get there, I love you!"
"Bye, we love you!" Both parents waved soon watching her get lost in the crowd. "You want to drive home dear?" Her dad asked her mother, his goatee moving up and down with his lips.
"Drive," She sighed. "Sure, why not…"
Flight 447 had been in the air now for a little over six hours and there were plenty more to go. Inside was an in-flight movie that was being played along with small platters of food being distributed to the passengers. Not that it would do anything to satisfy their bellies, but it was the thought that counted. As the stewardess came up to Nadia, the girl looked as if she was talking to her duffle bag. "Um, can I have two trays please?" Nadia smiled. The woman, curious as she was right about now, handed her the two trays wrapped in plastic wrap and walked away.
Nadia eyed the miniature bits of food: a roll, peanuts, applesauce, and a sandwich. Not much, a toddler could tackle this in a matter of three minutes time. Shrugging she sat them down on the vacant seat beside her to the left. Cautiously eyeing all around the plane to make sure everyone was watching the boring black and white movie (Or falling asleep out of boredom), she bent over and unzipped her duffle bag. "Ok," She whispered. "You can come out now." A little pony's head soon peaked out of the bag as told, bearing a light blue colored mane and a peach colored face. She from the looks of it was around 3ft tall or smaller. She looked up at Nadia with her green eyes happily.
"Boy, it was hot in there." The peach colored pony spoke in a slight whisper. "So where's the food?" Indeed this little pony was a Digimon and Nadia, her digidestined.
"Hehe, yeah I figured you would be hungry. Eat up ok Ponymon?" Nadia smiled.
*Little Digimon screen pops up*
Nadia: Ponymon is a cute little Digimon. Always very cheery and just so loveable, she may be small, but don't let that fool you. Her frolicking leap attack can put even the meanest of Digimon on time out, for a long-term basis.

**************************
Nadia sat the tray down beside her Digimon friend and watched her eat. "We should be in Japan in a few hours." She whispered to her. "In the mean time, just try to relax ok?" Ponymon nodded her head and continued to eat up.
Some odd hours later, time shifting had occurred, considering she and Ponymon were flying over seas. In essence there would without a doubt, be some jetlag.
Flight 447 had finally landed and the many passengers, tired and weary as ever, flooded out into the airport where friends and family were waiting.
A girl with auburn colored hair, wearing blue shorts and a matching tank top, stood alongside her mother who was dressed in the same fashion except with brown hair and a jacket on. The girl was holding a sign bearing the name 'Nadia Sebano' on it.
"I hope she can see this thing." The girl said.
"Angel," Responded Isadora, her mother. "I'm pretty sure she'll see it. She can't be that blind considering I wrote in big letters with black marker."
Frowning, Angel turned around looking at her. "She's blind?"
"No, she's not blind, I was just-oh look I think that's her coming this way." Isadora was a rather robust person, who always was on the go. Both she and Angel were always alike in every other way but that one way.
Angel lowered the sign as she saw the girl, holding a black duffle bag stop before her. "Nadia?" She asked.
"Yes, and you must be the Mandari family. How's it going?" Nadia shook both their hands smiling.
"Um, do you have any other bags or suitcases, dear?" Angel asked her, soon noticing out of the corner of her bluish green eyes, the duffle bag begin to move. Nadia noticed too and shook the bag a bit, all the while retaining an innocent grin on her face.
"Stuffed animal." She smiled hoping the two would buy what she was saying. "And yes, I have two other bags with my name tags on them, I can-"
"I'll get them!" Isadora interrupted her and did just that. Walking towards the suit case conveyor waiting a few minutes for Nadia's suitcases to pass by. She grabbed them whirled around swiftly and walked passed the two girls. "Let's go you two."
Nadia was smirking at the look Angel was giving her mother. "She always like this?"
"Who super-mom?" Angel began walking ahead with Nadia following. "Pretty much all the time, but probably by the time you leave, you should get used to it." Both girls laughed as they walked through the airports sliding doors that led to the parking lot.
During the long 2-hour rive on the busy streets of Japan, Nadia had gotten to know quite a bit about Angel and her mother. Her father moved to Okinawa, following the divorce a few years back. They owned a house on a nice street that was pretty quiet around this time of year. Isadora was a television news reporter during the early mornings and weekdays so she was never home, and when she was home she always did the things that a mother would do such as cooking and cleaning etc. It just seemed a bit odd that one woman could do all those things, but as Angel said she definitely was a 'Super mom'
The light switched on to reveal a beautiful house inside. Many pictures and decorations on the walls, loads of plants, not one of them was wilted or wilting. The carpet Nadia stood on was a whitish color so she understood why Mrs. Mandari asked her to remove her sandals. The wall in this area matched the carpet well, lingered upon by two shadows of the windows behind them that were beside the front door, dangling with sparkling white curtains. To the left was a staircase where Nadia and Angel soon found themselves going.
"And this," Angel flipped on the switch beside her. "is my room."
"Wow, pretty cool." Nadia's black charcoal eyes strafed all around the room, painted in a whitish blue color. Fluorescent stars hung upon the ceiling as well as pictures of Angel and her friends on the walls. A computer desk was against the wall to the left with a computer on top, probably a Gateway. A dresser sat next to it. In front were two beds, one on the left and the other on the right. In between sat a small table with a lamp, phone, and an alarm clock. Throw in the window where the lamp sat near, some junk lying here and there, sneakers and shoes under the bed, and there you have it, Angel Sora Mandari's room.
"So," Nadia looked at her new host sister, and friend. "Which bed do I take?"
"The left one's mine, you can take the right." Said Angel as she flopped upon the bed. "Are you hungry or anything?" Nadia opened up one of her suitcases, a white device resembling a watch with a blue trimmed backside, rolled out, hitting Angel's foot. She soon picked it up and eyed it slyly. "What's this? A watch?"
"Uh, yeah something like that, umm do you mind?" Nadia held out her hand, inquiring the girl give it back to her.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Angel dropped it into Nadia's hand, noticing her seem a bit shaky, but what about? "Are you still a bit nervous about being here?"
"No, not really," Nadia unzipped her duffle bag next and pulled out Ponymon, who right now was keeping as still as possible. "Jet lag I –"
"Oh how cute!" Angel interrupted and walked over to what she thought was a stuffed animal. "Is this the stuffed animal that was you were talking about back at the airport?" Not knowing what else to say, Nadia nodded her head repeatedly. "It seems so life like." She stroked Ponymon's light blue mane and then her snout.
"Yeah," Nadia was growing annoyed. "This is her."
Maybe it was the sad news about school being tomorrow and it was already 2 A.M, or maybe it was Angel's constant overlapping womb of being nosey. Either way, right now Nadia was enjoying her nice hot bubble bath with Ponymon sitting on a stepping stool by the sink. "You don't seem happy Nadia." She said sadly.
Nadia fluttered open her eyes and sighed, the hot bath was preciously soothing, with the solemn fizzing of bubbles. "What makes you say that?"
"Is it Angel?" Nadia didn't answer. "It is her, and don't lie to me because when I'm right your left ear wiggles."
Nadia began to giggle. "It does not!" She hated when Ponymon was right. "Ok, fine, you're right." She gave in to the stare down she was getting. "Angel's nice, she's just too-"
"Cheery?" Ponymon interrupted slightly laughing.
"Yes, cheery, but I guess we're going to have to deal with it for the year…considering we have four digidestined to find."
"Hey how do you think I feel about acting like a stuffed animal for a whole year?"
"You do it at home."
"That's true, ok you win with that one, and any how we'll find the other digidestined. In the mean time," Ponymon jumped from the stool and walked towards the bathroom door where a blue towel was hanging. "you should get out of that bath and go straight to bed young lady." Nadia rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement. This was one of those times where Ponymon played the parent role.
"Class, I would like to introduce Nadia Sepino." Said the old teacher, dressed in a scholar uniform. She was very scary looking, with her lips that were a bit chapped and her eyes that were pushed in making her look like a fish. The huge glasses she had on didn't help much either.
"That's Sebano, with an accent mark." Nadia whispered to the teacher.
"Ohhh, I'm so sorry dear, just got ahead and take a seat." The class giggled as Nadia walked in the third row soon plopping down in a seat next to a boy with light brown spiky hair. He was wearing a white button up shirt and some dark blue slacks. In fact it's what all the boys wore. The girls wore plaid blue and green skirts with blue sweaters along with white knee-highs. She didn't really care about the uniform now that is, because she was too busy blushing at this boy next to her, staring into his burgundy colored eyes.
'That's what I call handsome' She thought to her self, not even paying attention to his moving lips.
"Jin." The boy smiled innocently.
Nadia shook her head and looked at him wide eyed. "Excuse me, what'd you say?" She asked, slightly embarrassed that she had just stared him down like that, and probably figured he knew.
"Jin, my name. I was introducing myself. " He smirked while keeping his hand held out.
She slapped her head soon tear dropping. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm uhhh whatever you'd like me to be." She closed her eyes knowing she didn't mean that. "I mean my name is um…Nadia."
"Nice to meet you." His firm hand gripped hers as they shook, she didn't even see that he too was blushing right about now.
The long boring six and a half hours of the first day of school finally let out. Nadia, with her book bag on met up with Angel near the front gate conversing about what her first day was like.
"Soooo, meet any cute boys?" Angel asked soon noticing her blush.
"Well," A sigh of love followed, as her thoughts were on Jin Hikari, the boy in her second period algebra class. "there was this one boy, named Jin."
"Hmmm, Jin, Jin, Jin, Jin…"
Nadia stopped, looking at Angel curiously. "Why are you hmming?"
"His last name wouldn't happen to be Hikari would it?" Dead on just like the wind brushing both their hair that was oddly enough in the same style of two pigtails.
"I…think so."
"Awwww, that's so cute, he and I grew up together. I have his phone number."
"Do you!!" Nadia shrieked. "Err, I mean oh how nice." She said trying to sound less enthused than she already was. Angel could see all through the innocent look, she definitely couldn't wait to set them up. Little horns appeared just above her head.
"Nothing like the first day of school in a new country to spark a love interest." She giggled. Nadia turned red in the face and was about to say something to cover up her love connection when a beeping sound like that of a cell phone or a pager was heard going off in her the pocket of her skirt. She dug her hand in and pulled out the same watch like device from before, since that's what Angel thought it was. In reality it was an S.D.V (Synchrodigivice: to be explained later). Taking a look at it she saw blinking red dots on the screen. That meant only one thing, 'Digimon.' Nadia turned around and looked at the confused Angel.
"Listen, um that's my pager, I can't explain now, think it's a very important call or something. I'll meet you at home, gotta go!" It wasn't much of a way of saying something was up, but it got the job done or so she thought.
"A pager?" Angel frowned as she saw Nadia dash off. "I thought it was a watch?"
"I thought you told her it was a watch?" Ponymon was galloping beside Nadia as they ran up in the grassy field, nearing the dots.
"I did, didn't I? Oops, well maybe she forgot." Nadia kept going.
"Let's hope so, that wont be good if she finds out about me through a slip up."
"Just don't worry about it, because right now we're close to two Digimon or digidestined."
"That can be a bad thing too you know, I just hope it's a digidestined." Said Ponymon in a slight utter.
Stopping Nadia looked down at her S.D.V and then at her friend. "Well I guess we'll find out just over that hill." In her other hand was a purple luminescent tag that she was holding beside her S.D.V. "Ready to kick it up a notch, just to be on the safe side?"
Ponymon nodded her head and ran forward soon looking at her digidestined friend. She cast a glance around to see anyone was near, luckily no one was. "I thought you'd never ask, go for it!"
"Alright," Nadia stuck the tag in a side slot of the digivice and it soon began to glow in her hand. "Digivolve!"
*Digimon Theme plays*Swirls of stars surrounded the pony like Digimon as she twirled around repeatedly, a white spotlight on the ground below her. "Ponymon Digivolve Too…" A purplish orb surrounded her and she now resembled a silhouette that soon began growing in size, to that of a large every day horse that we ride today. The color faded and she now wore a golden mask over her face keeping the same innocent green eyes along with a red bow tie at the end of her light blue tail, matching her mane, and finally golden bangles wrapped around each of her legs. "Tenbamon!!!"
*Digimon Theme Stops*
*Little Digimon screen pops up*
Nadia: Tenbamon, the champion form of Ponymon. She's bigger, meaner, faster, stronger and just plain cuter. One thing's for sure, you don't want to be in the way of her Galloping Quake, Tail Spin, or Bunt Rush attacks. Oh and did I mention that she can synchronize with me for even more powerful attacks just as long as I use the right tags and slide it through my Syncrhodigivice?
~Closes~
**************************
*Song "Hey Digimon" Plays*
Nadia hopped upon Tenbamon's back. "Let's go over that hill, and what'll be waiting? No one knows!"
"I was afraid you'd say that" Tenbamon tear dropped as she swiftly made her way up the hill.
To Be Continued…Is it friend or foe that awaits Nadia and Tenbamon just above the hill? Find out on the next Digimon Digital Monsters.
