Ghost Studies was looking over the map trying to find the Dark Moon piece that was hidden in the Manor. He turn to Fluttershy who was also looking at the map. He knew that Fluttershy was scare but was able to handle it pretty well, after all she went through a Mansion before.

"You know, that the Ghost Seeker 5000 looks just like the Ghost Seeker 3000." Rainbow couldn't stop pointing out.

"WE KNOW, RAINBOW DASH!" All but Fluttershy and the Princesses shouted. Rainbow back off and Fluttershy turn to Ghost Studies.

"So what now?" She ask.

"I'm having a little trouble finding the Dark Moon piece, I need you to go back in and catch some more ghosts. It might help find it faster." He said.

"We'll keep looking and send you updates on what we find." Twilight said and both her and Ghost Studies went back to looking.

"Lady Fluttershy, we know you are scare but you will be able to find the Dark Moon Pieces, yes?" Luna ask.

"I'll...try." Fluttershy said quietly.

"That good to hear, we'll send you back now." Celestia said and Fluttershy was once again send to Gloomy Manor.



Fluttershy appear in the manor and wave her flashlight around. Once she notice she was alone, she relax.

She stood up and look around. She decide to check all the places she been in at first, incase she miss something.

Fluttershy went back outside and started looking around the front yard. She shook some of the tall grass and some bits came out of them. Then she notices that there were flowers there too, but they were close up.

Fluttershy guess they needed some light and try out her new Bright Flash. It work, the flowers open and bits fell out. One flower had something different. Instead of bits falling out, a gem appear.

Fluttershy grab it knowing Rarity would love it when her Ghost Looker theme pay again.

"Hello?" Fluttershy said once s pull it out of her saddlebags.

"What do we have here? That some good Gem Hunting Fluttershy." Ghost Studies said before Rarity cut in.

"Gems? Did you just say Fluttershy found some Gems?!" She ask.

"Yes, I only found one right now." Fluttershy answer, remembering her last Mansion that had bits inside and a few gems she found during that adventure.

"Well don't forget you have a job to do. Any Gem you find when you get back will be pace in the vault for safe keep." Ghost Studies said once more and the view turn off.

Fluttershy went back inside and head to the door on her right. Enter the mudroom once more and notices something white coming from the window. She look out it and saw a ghost dog that was digging. It soon pull out a gem and started pay with it before it threw it into the tree. Then it ran off, hoping to find something else to play with. Fluttershy turn away from the window and notice another door that had an green bulb on it.

Using the Bright Flash, she unlock it and back outside. Fluttershy look around and shuck the gem out of the tree. She went back inside and back into the hallway with the armors and ran past them as they try to attack her.

Fluttershy enter the foyer once more and saw a red ghost that was ripping four gear out and giving them to his friends. One Red Ghost had two until a fourth one appear and hit the other, grabbing the last gear. The two fought for a bit until the first flew up and hit them both. Then spit up, two went on the floor above and the last two flew into the next room.

The lights turn on and Fluttershy sign in a bit of relief, before her Ghost Looker went off again. Fluttershy pull it out and said,"Hello?".

"DARN GHOSTS!", Ghost Studies call out, "Fluttershy the sole the gears that lower the fish tank. You need to get them back."

"There four in all, two in the past the door on your floor and two more above you." Twilight said looking at the map.

"Find those gears, Fluttershy! You can't move on until you do." Ghost Studies said again before the view turn off.

Fluttershy walk up to the door that was wide open, However to slam shut and lock itself. Fluttershy jump in surprise then a Greenie appear holding the key. It laugh and flew off back to the Hallway.

The Lights turn back on and Fluttershy caught her breath. She follow the Greenie ghost back through the hallway, dodging the Armors again until she reach the entrance and saw the Greenie ghost hanging off the Chandelier. Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and caught it.

The Key drop down and she pick it up. She went back through the Armor hallway and into the foyer. She went to the lock door and open it. Inside she saw she was in another hallway and there were two doors this time. She look at her Ghost Looker and saw they were both unlock and there was a door in between them.

Fluttershy look in the spot between them and notice that a piece of the wallpaper was rip off. She remove the wall paper and saw that the wall now look more of a door. She open and step into a hidden hallway. A pile of dirt lay in her way and she clean it up. She look though a hole and saw two new ghost.

They were longer than the rest and blue this time. One blue ghost was painting the other, it kept moving to different positions and flew up to check on the Picture. The first blue ghost shoo it away and they did the same thing again. Fluttershy spotted another pile of dirt that block the door. So instead of locking it they block it.

Fluttershy turn away and spotted a key at the end of the hallway. Using her Ghost Seeker 5000, she pull it down. She left the hallway and walk to the door that was unlock. She enter and saw she was in a lab.

This must be where Ghost Studies was staying before the ghosts attack. Fluttershy thought. The Lab didn't look like it was thrash at all. All the paper that was there were rip up, but that was it.

If Twilight was here, she would like this. Fluttershy thought again. She laugh, the image of Twilight seeing the lab and Rainbow Dash calling her and Ghost Studies eggheads was funny to her. Then she heard something move.

She turn and saw a billboard. It move a little, but all Fluttershy need to know. She knew there were ghosts in here and use the Ghost Seeker 5000 to spin the board and a Greenie came out. It was join by another one and Fluttershy move to a wider place and charge her flashlight. Using the Bright Flash, she stun both ghost and caught them with out any problems.

Then one of the Red Ghost appears. It was angry and flew up to Fluttershy. Fluttershy dodge it hands and charge up her Bright Flash again. Once it was stun, Fluttershy notices this one had a lot more heath then the Greenies she be catching. She then remember something else. The last time she caught a ghost with tons of heath she pull back on the hose and it heath went down faster. She did just that and the ghost heath drop by ten and Fluttershy did it again.

Finally the Red Ghost was caught and one of the gears flew on the table. Fluttershy pick it up and let out a small cheer. Boy was she glad she remember her old tricks. These ghost were almost just like the Shadowbolts ghosts she caught in the past.

Fluttershy left the lab and went back to the foyer. Since the another door was block off she decide to head upstairs to the next floor. Fluttershy was almost to the top when some lighting flash and the stairs become flat. She slid down and a Blue Ghost appear and laugh at her, before flying off to hide.

Fluttershy pick herself up and follow the ghost. It disappear and Fluttershy started to look around. She spotted the Blue Ghost hiding in and vase and threw a banana peel on the ground. Fluttershy roll her eyes. The Green Shadowbolts she caught in the past did the same thing. She walk around it and knock on the vase. The Blue Ghost jump out of the vase surprise it was found.

Fluttershy charge up her Bright Flash and let the Ghost have it. She stun and then caught it. She walk back to the stairs and saw the purple gate rise. She walk back up stairs and to the lock door. She unlock it and enter the upper hallway.

She saw two doors again and the rest of the Hallway was blocked off by a large spider web. She check her Ghost Looker and saw this time there was no door in between the two doors she sees. Fluttershy enter the first door and came to a room that had a two chairs, a table, a fireplace, some pictures on the wall, and many other stuff she knew of.

She saw a music box and play it. The music sound soft and smooth, She was started to relax a bit when a Greenies appear out of it. Another appear and Fluttershy did the same as the last time. Move to a wider place waited for the Greenies to get close and charge her flashlight. Even when they turn invisible, Fluttershy stun and caught them.

Then the Red Ghost appear...well try to appear. It look like it was stuck inside the music box, using it hands it finally pull itself out. During all that Fluttershy charge her flashlight again and stun the Red Ghost. Like the first one, she pull back and the ghost heath drop by ten and caught it. The second gear appear and Fluttershy grab it and look around.

Fluttershy notice a grandfather clock that look different than the ones she seen before. At the top was green bulb, so Fluttershy use her Bright Flash again. It open and a Gem fell out. Fluttershy grab it and left the room.

Fluttershy enter the second door and saw she was in the Master Bedroom. She walk up to the coat rack and remove the coats to see and hole behind them. She peek through and saw the third gear in plain sight. Fluttershy smile and move away. She saw the door and reach out to open it. As soon as she touch it, the door slam her on the wall and close shut.

Fluttershy growl. She had forgot about fake doors. The were made to look like real doors, only to be a trap for anypony unluckily to come across them. She shook it off and look around. She spotted a rope on the wall and pull it down with her Ghost Seeker 5000. A bed came out of the wall and Fluttershy felt it. It was soft and she then sat on it.

Just as Fluttershy was getting use to it, the bed started to move and Fluttershy was throw on the bed and then the bed when back in to the wall taking Fluttershy with it.

Fluttershy was throw off the bed and crash into a wall. She slid down and stood back up. She shook her mane and saw she was now in the room that held the gear. She walk up to it and as soon as she reach it. A Greenie slam the picture shut and laugh. Like the last two times, another Greenie appear and Fluttershy caught them like before. A Red Ghost appear and Fluttershy caught him just like his friends.

That when she notices that there was no door in the room. Fluttershy relax, she knew that had to be another way out. After all the she found a way out the last time she was trap inside a room with no doors. She grab the gear and started to look around. She notice that the rug on the floor was roll up and finish it. Underneath was a switch which Fluttershy step on.

The fire in the fireplace went out and Fluttershy step in.

"Hello!" Fluttershy call out to see if any ghost was hiding. Then the fireplace floor open and Fluttershy fell right through it.

Fluttershy landed in the room with the two Blue Ghosts. They both jump in surprise to see Fluttershy come crash down into the room they block off. They both flew away and hind.

Fluttershy pick herself up and shook her mane again. She was doing a lot of crashes in this manor. If she kept that up, everypony would started call her Fluttercrash, instead of Fluttershy. Still she notices the two Blue Ghosts and waited for them to come out of hiding. They did and Fluttershy caught one and waited for the other one.

After catching the second Blue Ghost, the Last Red Ghost appear and Fluttershy caught him as well. These ghost were started to get easy to catch. She grab the last gear and look around the room. She heard her Ghost Looker theme play and pull it out of her saddlebags.

"Fluttershy! How it going my dear?" Ghost Studies ask.

"I got all four gears." She answer.

"Really? That was fast." Rainbow voice was heard.

"Yes, anyway now you can lower the fish tank to explore the rest of the manor. Good Luck!" Twilight said before the view was turn off.

Fluttershy check out the camera in the room and saw off a mirror that there was a gem at the window. She went to it and stuck the web off it and grab the Gem.

She left the room and walk back to the foyer. She walk up to the spot to where the Red Ghost had rip the gears out. Fluttershy took out all four gears when she came to a problem. She doesn't know how to work them!

Still she had to try. Taking the first gear she try to place it into the spot, but it won't go in. Fluttershy try the others before she notice that they were bend up, making it impossible to make them fit. Her Ghost Looker theme play again and Fluttershy answer it.

"Why the sad face Fluttershy? Should have guess you know nothing about machines." Ghost Studies said.

"Not just that, the Gears are bend up." Fluttershy told him.

"What?! Oh! I knew those ghost were strong, but never thought of them as brute." Ghost Studies said angrily.

"Why do you bring them back Fluttershy, maybe we can fix them." Celestia said as she walk in her view.

"Sure Princess Celestia." Fluttershy said and the view turn off.

Fluttershy jump for joy as her mission was complete. She open her Ghost Looker to see her score. Fluttershy smile as she saw she had collected 4 out of 13 gems that was hidden in the manor. She was sent back to Ghost Studies sack.



Fluttershy appear and land on her flank again.

"Really Fluttershy? Can you just use your wings for once?" Rainbow ask as Fluttershy pick herself up.

"The Ghost Seeker has my wings block so I can't use them." Fluttershy answer.

"Well I am sorry about that. I made the Ghost Seeker 3000 and 5000 only for earth ponies like myself to wear." Ghost Studies said.

"Let empty the Ghost Seeker then tell Fluttershy what we found." Twilight said reminding him why she was brought back.

"Oh yes! Silly me." He said and the tube appear again. Fluttershy put the hose on the tube and all the ghosts, bits, and gems she found was send to the vault.

"Now that out of the way let have a look at those gears, shell we?" Ghost Studies said.

Fluttershy nods and pulls out all four gears and hands them to him.

"Hm, this will take some time, of course I do have help this time." Ghost Studies said as he took the Gears.

"While you were find the gears, me and Ghost Studies found the Dark Moon piece.", Twilight said, "It in the manor but we can't pinpoint where it is."

"Yes, it look like a power ghost is blocking our power read of the Dark Moon piece. However why don't you take you friend Rarity down to the vault so she can see your gems?" Ghost Studies said.

"Yes please!", Rarity said happily, "I been wanting to see them ever since I hear Fluttershy found one."

"I found four of them now." Fluttershy said and Rarity gasp.

"You are started to get my talent Fluttershy." she said.

"Not really, I just look around until I found them." Fluttershy said meekly.

"Even so, let go to the vault so Rarity can relax. I'll take you there." Celestia said as she step forward.

Ghost Studies nods. "While you all doing that I'll fix these gears show you can get though the manor." Ghost Studies agree and starts to work on the gears.

Celestia then lead Fluttershy and Rarity to the vault.
