The mare turned off the tv, and sighed. Looking to the arrival she said, “It’s hard to look back on these sometimes. Especially when you know the person on it is no longer here.”
“I mean, I’m not the only one who feels like that,” she said walking awa from the desk and looking at some of the old videos. “You would not believe how many ponies come here and tell me about how these old crystals would show them a classic actor or a person who doesn’t exisist anymore. Thoug, I know of one pony who can tell you that sometimes they come home, in this tale I call...”
One Final Hunt.
Fluttershy had gotten used to the occasioanly strangeness around her little town of Ponyville. After all, it came with the territory. So when she woke up that morning to find some of her animals well fed, she had just wrote it off as Discord being nice that week, or a friend of hers. What she did not expect, was what happened when she walked to the animal preseve and found it well taken care of.
Her eyes went wide in surprise as she walked around, seeing all of the rare animals groomed, fed, and taken care of. Even some of the injured were redressed and fixed, “Oh my, what happeend here?”
Looking around, she began to ask some of her animal friends, “Excuse me, but who did this? Who fixed you all up?”
For aminute, she listened to the random squeaks, roars, and squaks coming from the animals. After pausing to listen to the conversation, she said, “You mean a stallion came in and took care of you, then dissappeared? That was so nice of him. I got to rememebr to leavee him something for later.” she said, smiling as she tended to her morning chores.
The next morning, she awoke to find everything taken care of, and the food that she had left behind eaten. Curiousoity taking over her, she wanted to meet this stranger and waited in the perserve until night had fallen.
As she waited next to a tree for a few minutes, her ears twitched to the sound of branches cracking, “Oh, hello.”
The stallion with khaki shorts said nothing, went on his way and doing work around the field. Fluttershy followed and helped him as he worked, “Um,” she said, “I just want to thank you for taking care of the animals. Some of them are so hard to look after.”
He said nothing, smiling and nodding as he went about his work.
“But, I do try my best. Especially when something really rare comes in. Those are my favorite because I get to learn so many new thing about the animal world,” Fluttershy said, trying to control her enthuasima as she worked. “So, why are you so good with the animal?”
“Just am little missy,” The stallinon said with a smile. “A lot of these guys need love and care. Just glad you are doing your best to watch over them.”
“Oh I do, I do.” Fluttershy said. Smiling, she turned to look and watched as he began to fade a away. “What?”
“A spirit like me only has so much time on this planet before we go back.I just wanted to show my appreciation for someone so kind wiht the animals,” the ghost said. Smiling he faded away.
Fluttershy stumbled back a bit, before gasping, “That was a ghost!”

The mare chuckled, “Yeah, not all of these are scary with dark twists. Some of them are just cute and fun. At least that’s what I found. Kind of cool eh...what was your names again?”
Dean looked to his brother, and then back to the mare, “I’m Dean and he’s Sam, we were kind of researching this place. Think it might be a little haunted.”
“Oh, cool,” the mare said.
“Wendy, I don’t think you understand. There’s werewolves, vampires, and a lot of other supernatural things in this little store of yours. You are going to need to leave,” Sam said.
Wendy rolled her eyes at this, “Fine,” as she walked away, grumbling, she said, “didn’t want to work at a stupid old store anyway.”
An old stallion, wearing a fez that had a fish on it, smiled and waved a the girl, “Hey kid! Feel like working cheap!”
“Eh, might as well. Anything to not go to logging camp,” Wendy said, walking towards the older man.
The stallion smiled, “Good. Neeed some new blood around here, escpecially with my niece and nephew coming this summer. Just callme Stan Pines.”
And thus, Wendy was destined to find a new adventure in...
Gavity Falls.
