Chapter 29: Double Date

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or Digimon, I do own Takuma and his Digimon Goldmon, also my pony OC's Christmas Gift, Harvest Leaf, and Pumpkin Spice from my other fanfic Equestria will make appearances as well.

Night had arrived in Ponyville. Now while all of the Tamers and their Digimon went to their pony's houses, one Unicorn was finishing up the finishing touches in her pumpkin patch. Pumpkin Spice knew harvesting season was about to start soon. So she had to spend every morning and parts of the night attending to her crops. The the pumpkins in her pumpkin patch weren't quite ready to pick yet. Perhaps in a week they would. They were still a bit green. Suddenly as she is scanning her pumpkin patch her expert eye catches a gopher "Oh-no! Not in my patch!"

She chases after it. Seeing her the gopher runs for it's life. Pumpkin Spic ehad to regularly run off animals on her pumpkin patch. She had to remember to speak to Fluttershy about this. The Unicorn was growing quite angry at this. This was the twentieth gopher that day and she was getting annoyed. Not only this but she had to chase at least ten rabbits out of her patch. She wanted to desperately go to Fluttershy to see if she could help solve this problem.

The Gopher finally finds it's hole and hides in it. Pumpkin Spice was in full pursuit "There you are!"

She eyes the gopher's hole keeping a safe distance away from it no telling what a cornered animal would do "If you can't stop coming into my pumpkin patch or Harvest Leaf's garden I wouldn't have to run you out!"

She didn't know what happened next for she smelled the breathe of an certain creature that every pony feared. She looks up to see Three Timber Wolves. Seeing this she gulp then tears off towards her house terrified. The wolves were on her tail but they hunted he rlike they were hutning a dedf. She is about to go to safety when she misses a tree root and trips over it. She slides on the ground and swiftly tries to get up but the Timber Wolves had surrounded her in a triangle path.

"Uh-oh" Pumpkin Spice muttered knowing this could be her end.

One lunges at her and she quickly closes her own eyes waiting for death to take her. When nothing happened she heard the sounds of battle then a male's voice "It's okay miss, their gone now."

She opens her eyes to see a Unicorn Stallion slightly bigger then she was about perhaps at least one foot taller wearing dark blue armor. He had dark Grey fur, his main and tail were blue. Pumpkin Spice's eyes widened as she made him out "Lancerhorn?"

Hearing his name the Unicorn turns over to her his yellow eyes making her out "Yes, it's me Pumpkin Spice...How's it going?"

"Uh, fine!" Pumpkin Spice told him finding it hard for her to speak for some odd reason "Where did the Timber Wolves go?"

Lancerhorn turns over to her "I drove them away back to the Everfree Forest. You're safe now."

Pumpkin Spice stood up "Thank you, you saved my life...But aren't you supposed to be guarding Princess Luna?"

Lancerhorn gives her a nod "Yes, yes I was but Princess Luna but she's given me the night off somehow. I saw you in trouble so I figured to save you."

Pumpkin Spice gives him a smile "Well I thank you again."

She turns to her house "I was just wrapping up my duties for tonight when I chased out the twentieth gopher...So want to come in?"

"Sure" Lancerhorn said.

The two ponies walked into Pumpkin Spice's house where her two sisters waited nervously. They had heard the Timber Wolves's growl and had no idea that Pumpkin Spice was the one they were hunting.

"Sis!" Harvest Leaf shouted "Did you hear the Timber Wolves? They were almost on our grounds."

"I did her them" Pumpkin Spice admitted "And I was chased by them."

This got her two sisters to gasp "Pumpkin Spice!"

Christmas Gift flew to her oldest sister "Are you okay sis?"

"I will be now" Pumpkin Spice told her youngest sister she smiles "And it's all thanks to my old friend."

She steps aside and Lancerhorn walks in besides her causing the two sisters to shout out hit with Harvest Leaf being the only one of the two younger sisters to recognize him "Lancerhorn!"

Lancerhorn smiles at Harvest Leaf "Hey Harvest Leaf," he eyes Christmas Gift whom looks up at him "And my you've grown Christmas Gift."

"I'm sorry" Christmas Gift admitted "But do I know you?"

Lancerhorn shook his head "I'm afraid not, you were just a little foal when I we first met. I'm Lancerhorn."

"Oh sorry," Christmas Gift spoke.

Pumpkin Spice turns to her youngest sister "He used to live in Ponyville and even though we went to school , he is a good two years older then me, he graduated then trained under Shining Armor after he graduated."

"Wow!" Christmas Gift spoke "Trained under Princess Celestia's Captain of the Royal Guard...That's amazing! So Lancerhorn, are you second-in-command of Celestia's Royal Guard?"

"No" Lancerhorn said "Even better, I'm Princess Luna's Royal Guard Captain. Once Twilight Sparkle and her friends turned her back from being Nightmare Moon."

"Princess Luna's captain?" Christmas Gift asked "Wow!"

"He also had the biggest crush on our big sister if I recall" Harvest Leaf teased.

This caused both Pumpkin Spice to and Lancerhorn to blush bright red as Christmas Gift turned to her older sister and the older Stallion "Really? Now? Please tell me she didn't turn him down."

"We were just friends!" Pumpkin Spice and Lancerhorn pleaded.

"Oh really?" Christmas Gift teased "Then why are you and her blushing?"

"Well wouldn't any pony get like this even if it's being teased?" Pumpkin Spice asked.

"Good point" Harvest Leaf admitted she turns her attention to Lancerhorn "So how long will you be staying?"

"Well not very long really even though I have the night off I still have to report to Princess Luna during the day" Lancerhorn spoke.

"Well we hope you enjoy the rest of your night Lancehorn" Harvest Leaf said waving to him "And I bet Pumpkin Spice thanked you for saving her."

"Of course I did" Pumpkin Spice admitted "Why wouldn't I thank the one that saved my life?"

"True" Harvest Leaf admitted she turns to Lancerhorn "Thanks for saving her."

"No problem" Lancerhorn told the two sisters whom were still quiet in disbelief that it was their sister that was attacked by the Timber Wolves "I was happy to help...Besides I wasn't about to let those wolves kill one of my friends sense we were a young filly and colt."

Pumpkin Spice gives him a small smile, he even helped her bring in pumpkins for her to make into her pumpkin products. She then frowns remembering how Takuma now helped Applejack out on almost everything. Getting the apples, to sometimes even helping bake the products of the Apple Family. This wasn't anything Lancerhorn did. Perhaps it was that he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of her but the much needed help she needed for her products was well needed. Still something about his presence made her feel well something she had never felt before and that was protection herself. She had always been the oldest amongst her siblings and protected them ever sense the three took over their family's businesses.

"Well" Lancerhorn spoke getting up to go "I'll be taking my leave."

Pumpkin Spice finds herself smiling "Well if your ever in town, please feel free to visit."

"Thanks Pumpkin Spice, I certainly will" Lancerhorn spoke.

She opens the door for him using her telekinesis and he walks out. She finds herself waving to him as she left even smiling. Right at each side of her were her two younger sisters whom were also smiling. After a while it is Christmas Gift that gets Harvest Leaf to laugh "So, Pumpkin Spice, so that's your Stallion friend."

This causes Harvest Leaf to break down into uncontrollable laughter at her younger sister's joke and her older sister's reaction which was a very, very, deep red blush "He and I are just friends! Just friends sense we were a filly and colt."

Harvest Leaf and Christmas Gift are now laughing but Pumpkin Spice finally admits out getting that Christmas Gift was just playfully teasing her as she closes the door "Very funny."

Lancerhorn had returned to Princess Luna's side. The Princess of the Night turns over to him "You're back so soon Lancerhorn? I said you can have the whole night off."

Lancerhorn respectfully bows before the Princess her was protecting "Sorry your highness, I am grateful for your offer but, I'm not sure what to do, I just saved a childhood friend of mine-"

"Pumpkin Spice is her name right?" Princess Luna asked him.

"Why yes, that's her name" Lancerhorn admitted.

Princess Luna smiles "I'll tell you what. I want you to spend a week around her."

This caught Lancerhorn off guard "My Princess, I'm honored to hear such a thing but shouldn't I be protecting you?"

Princess Luna gives him a smile "Yeah, but even Royal Guards need some time off, plus I know she's one of your fewest friends. I'm ordering you to spend some quality time with her. Some time you need to be with her. I'm sure she misses one of her friends."

"You sure?" He asks the Princess.

"Of course" Princess Luna spoke "I want you to be happy not that you aren't in your assighment protecting me. But I want you to spend time with your friends."

"Well thank you your highness" Lancerhorn said bowing to her.

She gives him a smile "Don't worry Lancerhorn, have fun with her. You and her do need the break. Both of you work hard."

"Pumpkin Spice can be a bit stubborn" Lancerhorn admitted "But I've been wanting to ask her out for sometime, even as a Colt, but I didn't know how to ask her."

Princess Luna smiles "Ask Takuma Sparkle. He's dating Fluttershy."

Lancerhorn gives her a nod "Thank you, I'll certainly ask Takuma."

Princess Luna smiles as he walks off. Princess Celestia was watching her younger sister "You sure are picking a risky gamble Luna after what happened to you last time with a Deva."

Princess Luna turns to her older sister "I know my sister, but the Devas seem to be after the Tamers. Besides like I said, every pony deserves a break. I want him to spend some time with Pumpkin Spice. The two haven't seen each other since he graduated from school."

Princess Celestia finds herself smiling at her younger sister "You're right. That is how it should be with everypony. Everypony deserves a day or a long time off."

Princess Luna and her older sister share smiles at each other.

The next morning came by and Takuma along with Goldmon on his shoulder were making their way towards Fluttershy.

"Nice day isn't it?" Goldmon asked.

"It certainly is" Takuma admitted.

As the two were walking the two met Jeri. The young girl turns to them "Hey Takuma, Hey Goldmon! You are up earlier then most of my friends."

Takuma smiles "Indeed, it's very common for me."

"Where ever he goes I go" Goldmon admitted.

Jeri gives them a small smile "Oh how cute! Where are you going?"

"To visit Fluttershy" Takuma answered.

"Wow" Jeri said smiling at Takuma "You really like her."

"He sure does" Pumpkin Spice said walking towards the two humans and one Digimon "And the two make a great couple!"

"Pumpkin Spice!" Takuma shouts to her "Good morning!"

"Morning Takuma!" Pumpkin Spice says back to him "Morning Goldmon, Good morning Jeri."

"Good morning Pumpkin Spice" Jeri told the unicorn that was letting her stay with them.

She wasn't exactly there during the night to meet Lancerhorn, she was hanging out with Takato and his Digimon Guilmon at the time of the Timber Wolf attack on Pumpkin Spice and meeting Lancerhorn.

"What's up?" Takuma asked her.

"I was on my way to Fluttershy's house as well. I need to ask her for her help with a gopher problem."

"Gopher problem?" Jeri asked for Takuma.

"Yeah, I've been recently having to chase them off" Pumpkin Spice explains "I've chased at least twenty of them yesterday. That last one might've gotten to the death of me had Lancerhorn not shown up."

"Where are you getting at?" Goldmon asked.

"I was chased and almost eaten by Timber Wolves last night" Pumpkin Spice told the two.

Takuma blinks at this "Thank goodness you were saved by Lancerhorn but do I know him?"

"You probably were probably at Canterlot with Twilight Sparkle at that time" Pumpkin Spice answers "Neither you or Twilight have met him. So may I follow you Takuma?"

"Sure" Takuma told her.

Jeri smiles "Have fun you three, I'm off to see what Takato is up to."

Takuma waves to her "See you."

Jeri smiles walking away "Alright!"

Takuma with Goldmon on his shoulder made their way to Fluttershy's cottage. Behind them was Pumpkin Spice. When they had gotten to the cottage Takuma knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Fluttershy's gentle voice asked.

"It's me and Goldmon, Fluttershy!" Takuma said "And Pumpkin Spice is with us."

"Coming!" was the soft reply.

She slowly and carefully opened the door making the three out"Hello Goldmon, Pumpkin Spice and Takuma" she steps aside "Please come in."

The three do as she requested. Fluttershy smiles at Takuma "I can understand why Takuma's here to spend time with me, but why are you here Pumpkin Spice?"

Pumpkin Spice answers "I need your help."

Fluttershy blinks as Henry and Terriermon walk into the room "Certainly how can I help?"

Pumpkin Spice responds "I'm having trouble with gophers Fluttershy, they are constantly in my pumpkin patch and even Harvest Leaf's garden. As you know I'm forced to chase them out of the areas but don't really like doing it rapidly."

"How many did you have to chase out?" Fluttershy asked in a concerned tone for both parties involved.

"Twenty" Pumpkin Spice answers.

"Ouch" Fluttershy and Henry admitted.

Goldmon blinks at this allowing Pumpkin Spice to continue her explanation "So the last one I chased out last night nearly cost me my life almost at the jaws of the Timber Wolves."

"Oh, I'm sorry" Fluttershy told Pumpkin Spice "I'll help you out today. They just need some pony to talk to them."

"And I believe that pony is you" Pumpkin Spice said "I just want them to understand the reason why I'm chasing them out, I wouldn't have to if they weren't in my sister's garden or my pumpkin patch."

Fluttershy agrees "Right, well you've got my help."

"And I'll join you two" Takuma said.

Goldmon agrees "Any chance to be with the girl he loves is a chance we'll take."

Terriermon smirks "Hey Goldmon perhaps you'll need to be away from Takuma for a while."

"Perhaps" Goldmon admitted "But with the knowledge that Devas can attack at any time is well unsettling. I need to be with Takuma."

Henry gives Takuma a wink "Well have fun with Fluttershy, Takuma. Takato, Rika and I will be setting up a patrol later on."

"I'll meet you there" Takuma admitted.

Henry and Terriermon waved good-bye to the three as they went outside.

"Well" Fluttershy spoke getting up with Takuma at her side "We'd better be off now."

Takuma gives her an assuring nod with Goldmon smiling. Pumpkin Spice opens the door for the two using her own telekinesis "Alright...And thank you Fluttershy."

Fluttershy smiles as she and Takuma stepped out of her house "Oh, don't thank me just yet but you are welcome."

A good five minutes later the four were at Pumpkin Spice's house where Pumpkin Spice immediately had to chase another gopher out "OUT! OUT! OUT!"

The three Gophers do what Pumpkin Spice orders and runs over towards Fluttershy for protection. Pumpkin Spice stops what she's doing. Fluttershy calmly looks at the gophers "Listen you three. You've been giving my friend here quite a hard time. Her sister Harvest Leaf's garden and her pumpkin patch is off limits. One of you nearly cost my friend her life last night."

This was the first Takuma had ever seen Fluttershy talking to the animals she cared for. Her gentle ways towards them just kept drawing him closer to her. The three gophers looked at Fluttershy trying to explain things to her. As this was going down Fluttershy kept on saying "Uh hugh! Uh hugh, Oh I understand."

Takuma then spoke "So Fluttershy, what's going on?"

Fluttershy turns to both Pumpkin Spice and her boyfriend "Well first of all they would like to say they are sorry about trespassing onto both your sister's garden and your pumpkin patch."

Pumpkin Spice eyes the gophers even she suspected there was a catch. Fluttershy noticed this "There is no catch, he even agrees it's time to let this differences between you two and his people aside. He promises to tell the other gophers your house and it's areas are not theirs."

"Thank you" Pumpkin Spice admitted "I don't like chasing them out but I need to care for my pumpkins and sometimes my sister's garden. It is the same with the rabbits too."

"I'll make sure I'll talk to them" Fluttershy admitted.

Takuma finds himself smiling at how Fluttershy worked around animals. Pumpkin Spice smiles as the gopher ran off. Fluttershy turns to her friend "Well let me know if you run into any more trouble with them."

"Alright" Pumpkin Spice said "Well I better get to work."

"Right, see you later Pumpkin Spice" Takuma said as the orange Unicorn walks off to go back to work.

Fluttershy, Goldmon, and Takuma met up with the other Tamers.

"Hey Takuma" Takato said with a wave "How's it going?"

"Fine" Takuma answered smiling "I just got to see how Fluttershy works."

Fluttershy blushes "It was no big deal Takuma,"

"No big deal?" Takuma repeats her question "I found myself admiring what you did back there."

Goldmon agreed "So did I! You understood what the problem is and you solved it."

Fluttershy smiles "Well then I thank you two for your support."

"He loves you Fluttershy" Takato told her "He's always going to support you. Even if you have arguments-"

"Which he and she haven't" Rika interrupted.

"Yeah, I know" Takato admitted "But just saying even if they do have an argument, Takuma will always support her."

Fluttershy allows Takuma to hold her hand "Well I know one day Takuma and I may have an argument but he'll always support me, and I'll always support him."

Takuma, with his Tamer friends prepare themselves to go to school. Henry turns "Well Fluttershy, have fun with the Digimon."

"You bet!" Fluttershy said with a smile.

Eight hours later after school the Tamers were all going over to Fluttershy's cottage but it was Lancerhorn whom had approached them. He sees the Tamers having been all over Ponyville looking for Takuma. He had met Twilight Sparkle earlier and she was with him.

"Takuma!" Twilight shouts over to the Tamers.

Takuma sees her "Mother Twilight? Whose your friend?"

Twilight Sparkle approached "I just met him a few hours ago, this is Princess Luna's Captain of the Royal Guard, Lancerhorn. He requested specifically to meet and talk to you personally."

Something about Lancerhorn wanting to speak to Takuma personally was uncomfortable with the other Tamers for some odd reason. Also the mention that he was Princess Luna's Royal Guard captain just made it worse.

"Well Takuma...Old buddy" Takato said stepping away from Takuma.

He was followed by the other Tamers minus Takuma. He finally admits out "Nice knowing you! Good luck!"

With this he and the other Tamer run off leaving Takuma confused. This left Lancerhorn and even Twilight Sparkle confused "What was that all about?"

Takuma shrugs at this "Lancerhorn? Sorry about it but what is it that you wanted to talk to me?"

"It's nothing bad" Lancerhorn said "If that's what your friends were thinking, it's just that I want to ask you for help."

Takuma blinks "Alright, but what's the problem?"

Lancerhorn sighs as Twilight Sparkle walks back to her house "I'll leave you two alone."

Takuma looks at Lancerhorn "So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

Lancerhorn answers "It's about Pumpkin Spice."

Takuma blinks concerned for Pumpkin Spice only because of how he had just said it "Is she in any danger?"

Lancerhorn holds up his hoof to calm down Takuma "She's not in any danger...You see Princess Luna gave me one week off and has asked me to well hang around Pumpkin Spice...Problem is I don't know how it's best to do that."

Takuma immediately figured out that perhaps Lancerhorn had a little crush of Pumpkin Spice "So you want me to help you...Ask Pumpkin Spice out?"

Lancerhorn gives him a nod "Yes, it's been so long but it's not like I like her, I just want to spend some time with her...And I figured going out on a date with her maybe the key."

Takuma thinks on this "Very well, you have to be yourself and gather up your courage to ask a girl out."

Lanerhorn blinks a bit and Takuma takes this as a sigh that he needed to show Lancerhorn how it was done "Well I suppose a date with Fluttershy is the right course of action."

Lancerhorn gives Takuma an understanding nod. The two went to Fluttershy's cottage "Lancerhorn, it's easy to ask a girl out. The worse they can say is no."

He knocks on Fluttershy's door which Fluttershy answers by opening the door "Hello Takuma!" She eyes Lancerhorn "And who is that?"

Takuma answers her "He's Lancerhorn, Princess Luna's Royal Guard Captain."

"Are we in trouble?" Fluttershy asked.

"No" Lancerhorn said "I'm just visiting trying to spend a week off."

"Oh" Fluttershy admitted "Then that's different. Sorry for my earlier comment. Just that we never get visited by Royal Guards of any Princess. Well we have met Shining Armor a few times."

Lancerhorn gives her a smile "That would be why the other Tamers took off."

"They misinterpreted the meaning of your visit and words" Takuma admitted remembering the other Tamers ran away at what they heard "Any Fluttershy if you aren't busy, I was wondering if you'd like to go out-"

Hearing this Fluttershy smiles running over to the boy she loved and wrapped her arms around him taking him down "I'd love to go out with you!" She blushes a bit "Just name the day."

Takuma looks at her "Well, how about tomorrow after school? And, what do you say we go out on a Double Date?"

"Double Date?" Fluttershy "As in two girls and two guys?"

Takuma gives her a nod "You and me with Lancerhorn and his date."

"Who is he going to bring?" Fluttershy asked.

Lancerhorn answers "Pumpkin Spice. She and I have been friends sense we were a filly and colt."

"I see" Fluttershy admitted "We'll it's alright with me. But does Pumpkin Spice know about it?"

"No" Takuma tells her "That's why I've came here to teach Lancerhorn how to ask a girl out. As he wants to spend time with her."

Fluttershy smiles "Then a Double Date is an answer. I'll accept."

She eyes Lancerhorn "Just build up your courage Lancerhorn, the worse Pumpkin Spice can say is no."

Lancerhorn agrees "Well it's that I'm afraid of." he turns to Takuma "Having a girl reject you can be painful."

"True" Takuma said "But it's the worse they can do. Besides I'm sure Pumpkin Spice will like to go out with you. You'll never know unless you try."

"He's right" Fluttershy admits she turns to the Digimon that were at her side "You all may go to your Tamers now."

"Thanks Fluttershy" was the response as they went to find their Tamers.

Goldmon was the only one staying at her side seeing as Takuma was here "Shall we see what Pumpkin Spice does say?"

"We should" Takuma admitted "Just in case I need to comfort him with the rejection."

Lancerhorn walks ahead with Fluttershy and Takuma with Goldmon at their side to Pumpkin's house. The Orange Unicorn's mood seemed to be better now that she didn't have to deal with rabbits and gophers.

"Pumpkin Spice!" Lancerhorn shouts.

Pumpkin Spice hears this and stops what she was doing "Lancerhorn! What are you doing here?"

"When I left yesterday I went to Princess Luna whom gave me the week off" Lancerhorn explained.

"Interesting!" Pumpkin Spice admitted then she turns smiling "That's good for her and you! So what are you going to do for that time?"

Lancerhorn looks at Goldmon, Fluttershy and Goldmon for support. The the two human and the scorpion Digimon give him a nod. He tries to buster up his courage and eventually does "Well I was wondering if tomorrow, you'd like to go out with me."

Pumpkin Spice wasn't expecting this and was left with her mouth opened in surprise. Sure one day she did plan to go out with a Stallion just not the one she known sense she and him were young. Lancerhorn watches the mare closely. Finally Pumpkin Spice agrees "Well alright, I'll go out with you, but you said tomorrow right?'

"I did" Lancerhorn tells her "And is it okay if we Double Date?"

"With whom?" Pumpkin Spice asked.

"Us" Fluttershy said "Well me and Takuma."

Pumpkin Spice smiles "Well you get to spend time with the one you love and, I get to spend a bit more time with Lancerhorn."

Fluttershy gives her friend a nod.

Pumpkin Spice turns to Lancerhorn "Yes, I'll go out with you. It shall be a double date."

Fluttershy just gives out an excited squeal and hugs Takuma a bit too tight and he lets it out "Uh, Fluttershy, can't breathe!"

Fluttershy lets him go "Sorry."

"No problem" Takuma tells her with Goldmon nodding then he turns to Takuma "Shall I come with you two?"

Takuma turns "It's for the best. Never know what Trixie is planning."

Lancerhorn agrees "Right, she better not show her face tomorrow."

"Never know" Takuma tells him.

Unknown to them Trixie was watching from her vantage point. She even overheard this. She sits down trying to come up with a plan "This is the perfect time for me to strike. Takuma and his Digimon Goldmon are the ones that totally interfere in our plan."

The Raging Flames agreed "This is totally your plan Trixie, I can't spare any other Deva against this boy and his Digimon. Perhaps another Wild One...No I know the one."

"And I'll formulate a plan" Trixie admitted "Tomorrow the Guardian will fall."

"As will the girl he likes" the Raging Flames agreed.

Trixie gets right to work formulating an evil plan.

The next afternoon comes and the Tamers with the other three humans from Earth all head of the school.

"Man" Kazu muttered "I would've thought we'd be able to escape school when we were here."

Takuma looks at Kazu "Sadly it wasn't like this until my father asked Twilight to take school books here."

"Darn it!" Kento snapped "So that's why you were visiting Earth."

"Not really" Takato said "Takuma was visiting his father...Then I guess his father had a different idea."

"So" Rika said to Takuma "What did Lancerhorn want from you?"

Takuma answered her "He just wanted to know how to ask a girl out."

"What?" Takato asked "Why would he be asking you for that advise."

"He has Fluttershy" Henry pointed out.

"Good point" Takato admitted he then looks as the Digimon were with the Tamers "Why were our Digimon with us today? Isn't it Fluttershy that looks after them?"

"She's preparing for her date with Takuma" Terriermon said.

"Wow Takuma" Rika said smiling "Didn't know you and her would go out when the Devas are coming."

"Wasn't originally in the plan" Takuma admitted to her "But it was the only way I could show Lancerhorn how to ask a girl out. The only one I knew was Fluttershy but Fluttershy did say yes to it. So...Now..."

Takato gets it "It has to be official."

"You got it" Takuma admitted.

"But what about Goldmon?" Guilmon asked.

"He's tagging along" Takuma answers "I'm not going to be caught off guard."

"Good idea" Rika admitted "Don't worry, we've got it covered here."

"Thanks" Takuma admitted to them "Well Goldmon let's go."

"He's so in love with her" Renamon said with a smile "But he also knows when he's gotta do what he asked her."

"He did ask her out and she said yes" Rika admitted "Well it's good for him."

Guilmon agrees "Let Takuma go out with the girl he loves. Fluttershy deserves it and so does he."

The Tamers all went to patrol. Takuma arrived at Fluttershy's cottage and knocked on it "Fluttershy, are you ready?"

Fluttershy greets him "Of course I am Takuma but now where too?"

"That was Lancerhorn's decision" Takuma admitted "Shall we meet him and Pumpkin Spice halfway?"

"Sure!" was the cheerful response.

He lets her leave first then when she gets out of her house he closes the door "Angel, be a good bunny while I'm away."

The white Rabbit gives her a fury salute as she closes her door. Then both she, Goldmon and Takuma headed off to meet Pumpkin Spice and Lancerhorn. They meet the two halfway.

"Hey Takuma!" Lancerhorn spoke.

"Hello Lancerhorn and Pumpkin Spice" Takuma said to them.

"So where too?" Goldmon asked.

Lancerhorn answers "Well, there is a nice meadow not too far from here, and a restaurant."

"That is a start" Takuma admitted with Fluttershy agreeing "Yeah it is."

Lancerhorn leads the way to the meadow. It seemed there were a lot of meadows that were secretive. Not even Fluttershy seemed to have discovered this one. By the time they arrived it was night.

"This meadow is beautiful" Goldmon found himself saying.

"Yes, especially in the night sky" Pumpkin Spice said looking at the stars.

Trixie just watches from afar "Time for me to put the plan into action only a little bit more."

An Earth Pony Waiter went to get the two couple's orders. Trixie eyes the night sky "Now the fun begins!"

Just as the Earth Pony waiter was getting the order for her guests Trixie's plan hit dead on. It all started with a green breathe like fog.

"Timber Wolf!" the waitress shouted running for her life.

Takuma, and Lancerhorn stood up it was as if they knew Trixie was behind it. Then both boys shouted her name "TRIXIE!"

Sure enough Timber Wolves surrounded the group of four.

"Why is Trixie doing this to us?" Pumpkin Spice asked "I was looking forward to this Double Date."

"With her around" Takuma mutters dryly "Fluttershy and I really never had a normal date."

"True" Fluttershy admitted sadly "When we go on dates she always seems to attack us. I mean I just wish for once we could have a normal date even if it was a Double Date, which I liked because I get to spend time with the one I love."

The Timber Wolves surrounded the group of four.

"Great" Pumpkin Spice admitted "Now what do we do?"

"We need to fight them off" Lancerhorn said he turns to Takuma "Unless you disagree with me."

Takuma blinks "I have no way of fighting them off...Except for Goldmon but we do have to protect the girls."

Goldmon blinks as Takuma takes out his card "Goldmon ready?"

"Ready when you are!" Goldmon said.

Takuma took out his D-Arch and his Digivolution Card "Digi-Modify, Digivoluition Activate!"

The words Digivolution appeared on his D-Arch and the process began "Goldmon, Digivolve too...Scorpionmon!"

Scorpionmon appears with Takuma turning to Fluttershy and Pumpkin Spice "Ladies! I need you to hide under Scorpionmon. He'll protect you."

Scorpionmon gives the two a nod which allows Pumpkin Spice and Fluttershy to hide underhim. The Timber Wolves charge Takuma but Scorpionmon uses his tail to bat them backwards "Back to the Everfree Forest!"

The tail simply slices the Timber Wolves in half and they fall to the ground exploding in twigs.

Lancerhorn uses his telekinesis to force the Timber Wolves to slam into each other. Takuma made sure to stay very close to Scorpionmon. Even when Six of the Timber Wolves were destroyed they came back only as two giant Timber Wolves.

"That's new" Takuma and Lancerhorn muttered.

"No worries!" Scorpionmon "I got these two."

He opens his claws "Eat lasers!Laser Claws!"

Scorpionmon shoots out his lasers at the giant Timber Wolves obliterating them.

"Nice one" Fluttershy tells the giant Scorpion.

Suddenly the group of four see Trixie.

"TRIXIE!" the four shout.

Trixie looks at them "Why the sour faces?"

"Only you would try to mess with our date" Lancerhorn spoke.

Trixie acted like she was doing a good thing for them "Why shouldn't have the Great and Powerful Trixie have intervened? The Great and Powerful Trixie is trying to eliminate Takuma and Fluttershy!"

"W-W-W-Why me?" Fluttershy asked "I have nothing to do with your anger."

"You do now!" Trixie shouted "Equestria should NEVER have humans in it!"

Fluttershy looked shocked but Pumpkin Spice came to her friend's defence even coming out from under Scorpionmon in plain view " You were responsible for turning Fluttershy into a human!"

Trixie shout Pumpkin Spice a look "Silence!"

She fires a blue magical beam at Pumpkin Spice's mouth sending the orange Unicorn onto her back stunned, her mouth a zipper and her hooves hogged tied.

"Pumpkin Spice!" Lancerhorn shouted.

Pumpkin Spice stares at Trixie eyes narrowing. She had heard stories about Trixie being this mean to her cousin and her friends. Even going as far as tying Rainbow Dash up nearly the same way with a rope.

He eyes Trixie "I won't let you hurt my friend."

Trixie eyes him "Oh really?"

He gathers up a dark blue magical beam and fires it at Trixie whom counters his own blast after speaking out a challenge "Fine then! Let's see who's magic is stronger!"

The magical blast collide but it soon became apparent that both were even. That was until Trixie growls "I am the most powerful Unicorn! Princess Luna's guard is nothing to me!"

"Not really" Takuma told Trixie, "I'm no bragger but Mother Twilight's is stronger and is smarter due to the fact that she never uses it to harm others."

Trixie is caught off guard that Takuma had said and paid the price for Lancerhorn's magic over powered hers and continues it's path towards her. It rockets her off her hooves but she recovers glaring at Takuma and Scorpionmon "So, your mother's warmed up on you!" she glares at the human boy "NOW BLOSSOMON!"

Scorpionmon was caught off guard by thorny vines and is thrown backwards. He skillfully recovers but it leaves Fluttershy vulnerable. Takuma sees the vines coming at her and jumps towards her "Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy watches as Takuma jumps at her and pushes her out of the way just in time for the vines wrap around him and brings him upward "TAKUMA!"

Lancerhorn eyes the area as he makes out a huge plant like monster. It had blue pedals around a big yellow head. It had lots of thorny vines that it used to walk around and had at least four other flowers on it with teeth.

"I'm fine" Takuma answered.

"Not for long" The Digimon spoke.

Takuma's D-Arch activated "Blossomon, Ultimate Level Data Plant Type Digimon..."

Blossomon looks at it's captive "No one insults the one that helps us Wild Ones and Deva's escape."

Takuma looks at the Digimon "Figures..."

Trixie orders Blossomon "Kill him!"

"Takuma!" Fluttershy shouted with worry at this.

Blossomon tightens her grip but Lancerhorn shoots a magical beam cutting Takuma lose. Scorpionmon dove for Takuma saving him.

Blossomon turns shouting "Spiral Flower!"

Scorpionmon eyes this coming at him and uses his claws to protect himself. He used his tail to catch Takuma then lower him. Sadly the Spiral Flowers were able to do extreme amount of damage to Scorpionmon. He lowers his claws.

"Scorpionmon!" Takuma shouted.

"I'm fine" Scorpionmon spoke gettingup "Just that those Spiral Flowers do have the power to slice threw anything."

"And our trouble just got worse" Pumpkin Spice admitted as more Timber Wolves were approaching.

"Great" Takuma said.

Lancerhorn looks around "This isn't good."

Trixie looks over the area and feels Pumpkin Spice glaring at her. Her glare was matched by Fluttershy wondering what was going on. Trixie answers "I set this trap up mostly for Takuma."

Fluttershy eyes Trixie "Why? Because Takuma stops you?"

Trixie smiles "Actually it's because Takuma is the only one that seems to know the plan and come up with a counter plan...So this Double Date idea is going to be his last plus with Blossomon the end is near."

Blossomon laughs "Too right it is."

Three Timber Wolves lunged themselves at Takuma but Scorpionmon lifts up a tail and swats them back "Not while I'm around."

"You'll live no longer!" Blossomon shouted aiming it's whips out with her thorny vines "Thorn Whip!"

Scorpionmon growls as Takuma and Fluttershy were the Digimon's target and rushes in catching the whips in his claws to save them while Lancerhorn tries to deal with the Timber Wolves that tried to hurt Pumpkin Spice whom was unable to do anything being tied up. She still felt protected by Lancerhorn whom done everything he could think of to protect one of his friends.

"Hmph!" Pumpkin Spice managed to speak out, she wanted to use her hoof to ask him to unzip her mouth and perhaps untie her.

He eyes her "I'd be glad too when I get the chance. Hang in there please...If I let my mind wander off the battlefield you could be killed, and I don't want that."

Pumpkin Spice swore to herself that she could feel her heart skip a few beats. Were her sisters right that she was in love with Lancerhorn? She supposed that was why her heart skipped a beat but it also could've been the fact that she was caught in a damsel in distress moment. A moment only two times including last night happened twice. She could only give him an understanding nod.

Lancerhorn easily holds off the Timber Wolves from hurting Pumpkin Spice but Scorpionmon had stopped Blossomon's throns.

"Why do you fight to protect those two humans?" Blossomon demanded.

Scorpionmon answers "They are my friends! Takuma is like the best friend I've never had and I hate to say it but Fluttershy's like my only mother I've ever had."

Hearing this Fluttershy blushes. Blossomon looks at Scorpionmon "Fool! Spiral Flower!"

The attack was so close that Scorpionmon had no chance in fighting it off and is flung backwards slumping onto the ground.

"Now that he's done for" Blossomon said "I'll eat you two!"

Trixie spoke "I don't think you'll be able to have any of them! Because six Timber Wolves are closing in on them.

Takuma looks at Trixie "That's what you think!" he takes out a card "Digi-Modify, Matrix Digivolution Activate!"

The words MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION is seen on Takuma's D-Arch causing Scorpionmon gets up "Right! Scorpionmon, Digivolve too...SamuraiScorpionmon!"

Trixie looks at SamuariScorpionmon using a nail trimmer to trim her right front hoof "So you can go to Ultimate, big deal against Blossomon."

The Timber Wolves advanced on Lancerhorn that is when SamuraiScorpionmon grabs hold of the two ponies, Fluttershy and Takuma and placed them on his shoulders "Now what are you going to do?"

Trixie sees this "Blossomon! Knock those four off so the Timber Wolves can have their dinner!"

"It shall be my honor!" Blossomon shouted "Thorn Whip!"

He unleashes his thorns aiming them at SamuraiScorpionmon's shoulders. SamuraiScorpionmon draws his Katanas and counters the whips expertly "You aren't getting them."

Trixie growls "She may not but I can!" She fires a spell specifically at Takuma and Fluttershy but Lancerhorn took the time to free Pumpkin Spice from her binds and undoes the zipper Spell. They see the spell fired from Trixie and together gathered up enough magic in their own horns to counter Trixie's spell.

"What?!" Trixie asked.

"Sorry Trixie!" Pumpkin Spice said "I don't know what your boss has told you about humans, but we'll stop you!"

Trixie growls "Taking sides hugh? I'll show you two!"

She fires another beam but Pumpkin Spice and Lancerhorn were ready they pressed their horns together then let loose a orange dark blue blast of magic at the spell Trixie fired. Their combined spell did more then counter Trixie's it also gave Trixie a face full of magic that sent her flying into the sky disappearing into the night.

Lancerhorn wanted to go after Trixie but getting off of SamuraiScorpionmon would've been fatal as he would've landed on a very hungry Timber Wolf.

"You'll get her next time" Pumpkin Spice told him smiling she turns to Takuma "Now it's all up to Takuma."

Blossmon sees that Trixie had been defeated "Spiral Flower!"

"Let's see your Flower slice threw this!" SamuraiScorpionmon shouted "Acid Spray!"

He flicks his tail in a curving motion spraying out acid at the flowers which were dissolved seeing this Blossmon gasped "No way! They've been stopped, that has never happened before!"

"It's over for these Timber Wolves, and you as well Blossomon!" Takuma says he takes out a card "Digi-Modify! Thousand Clones Activate!"

Thousands of SamuraiScorpionmon surrounded the group of enemies giving Blossomon a fright "What is this? Which is the real one?"

"Doesn't really matter" SamuraiScorpionmon shouted "Because I will always protect Takuma, and Fluttershy! Double Venom Slash!"

All of the SamuraiScorpionmon drew their Katanas, filled them up with the venom then with both slashed out at the Timber Wolves and Blossomon. This proves too much for the Timber Wolves as they are sliced apart by the swords. Blossomon herself was defeated by the many blades and burst into data particles. It nearly looked like a snow shower except with a mixture of wood falling down too.

"That has ended it" Takuma said.

SamuraiScorpionmon puts the four down. Fluttershy, Lancerhorn, Pumpkin Spice and Takuma turn to the giant Ultimate Level "Thanks."

"Don't mention it" SamuraiScorpionmon said "Another plan has been stopped."

"It has" Takuma said "And I'm glad I decided to take you along with us."

"We are too" was the response from Fluttershy and the two ponies.

Lancerhorn turns to Pumpkin Spice "Sorry about that."

Pumpkin Spice smiles actually walking towards him "Not your fault. No pony was to guess this might've happened, besides this was the best date of my life."

This puzzled Fluttershy, SamuraiScorpionmon, Takuma and Lancerhorn. Now while Fluttershy, SamuraiScorpionmon and Takuma were exchanging "Hugh?" Lancerhorn asked "What do you mean?"

Pumpkin Spice answers him "I was hoping to see you in action Lancerhorn, I wanted to not only go out with you as your date, but I also wanted to see how well Shining Armor taught you." She blushes a bit "And he's trained you well."

Lancerhorn speaks up "Thank you Pumpkin-"

He is caught off guard as Pumpkin Spice kisses him, he blushes "Pumpkin Spice?"

She eyes him blushing herself then tried to come up with a good excuse "Sorry, it's the only way I can think of for saving me again."

He looks at her as she speaks "Well our date isn't over yet is it?"

"No" Lancerhorn admitted he eyes Fluttershy, SamuraiScorpionmon and Takuma "Right?

"Right" was Fluttershy's response "We haven't got to eat."

The workers in the restaurant arrived back once the threat was stopped. The manager pony walks up to the four "Sorry about that, your dinners will be on the house tonight."

This gets the five to smile "Thank you!"

"It's the least I can do" The manager pony tells them "You four stopped the Timber Wolves and that giant flower."

The Manager pony gets right back to work letting the waitress retake their orders.

End of Chapter

Another one of Trixie's plans has been thwarted. She has failed to kill Takuma. Now the next chapter will be Chapter 30: Jeri's Quest: Jeri decides that she wants to be a Digimon Tamer, and unfortunately for Leomon, her affection is directed towards him.

Also bonus points to those that can guess what Nicktoon Show reference, Takato, Henry, and Rika running away from Lancerhorn is from.
