Ghost Studies look all over the map of Haunted Tower still try to find the Key to the passage way inside Hollow Tree. Apple Bloom told everypony how Fluttershy handle three ghost and caught them. Even asking Fluttershy if she can teach her. Applejack was quick on answering no, which case the filly to pout.

"AGH!, I can't find it any where!" Ghost Studies shouted.

"You can find the key?" Rarity ask a bit surprise.

"Sadly no, I don't have any clue on where it is." Ghost Studies admitted.

Apple Bloom look away before pulling a picture out of her bow that she was holding on to.

"Maybe this will help? I found it when a ghost was dragging me around try to figure out what to do with me." She said and hand the picture over to Ghost Studies.

Ghost Studies took the picture and look it over.

"AH HA!" He shouted and turn to the Princesses. "Can you make this bigger so everypony can see it?" He ask them.

"Of course." Celestia said and made the picture grow.

Soon everypony could see the picture and made out the Shadowbolts Ghosts, a Greenie and some new purple ghosts they never seen before.

"Here!", Ghost Studies said pointing at a Shadowbolt handing a key to a purple ghost, "The Key, That Shadowbolt is giving that key to that ghost."

"Hey what are those Shadowbolts carrying?" Rainbow Dash ask pointing at two Shadowbolts holding a shack with a picture fame and what look like hooves coming out of it.

"Don't know, I can't make it out, but look at those Shadowbolts! They are encouraging their bad ways. Fluttershy you must get that key." Ghost Studies said.

Is that a pool?" Pinkie ask looking closer at the picture.

"Yes it is! It at the top on the Towers, Celestia, Luna if you be so kind?" Ghost Studies said and ask.

"Of course, but we didn't forget about the tools." Celestia said making Ghost Studies flinch.

"Good Luck Fluttershy! Keep an eye out for Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo while ye're there." Apple Bloom said as Fluttershy was teleport to the Haunted Towers.



Fluttershy appear in the air and notice once more she wasn't going to land on her hooves again.

"Uh oh! Ow! Wooh!" She said as she fell to the ground. Fluttershy roll on her flank and stood up and look at the gate.

Fluttershy walk forward and saw the same grass like from Gloomy Manor replacing the flowers she be seeing. She move the grass around and bits came out. Fluttershy grab them and walk over to the tree that had dirt around it. Fluttershy shuck all the dirt away and check the tree. This time a Greenie appear but it was golden instead of Green and instead of attacking her, it try to get away. Fluttershy act by stunning it and catching it quickly. After she did, some bits shot out of the Ghost Seeker.

Fluttershy grab them and walk though the gate and saw two eating flowers in the Courtyard. Fluttershy walk pass them and into the Tower Lobby and saw a flower on the ceiling. Fluttershy walk up close to it and jump back as the flower try to slam on her. It ball up as it rise from the ground.

Fluttershy suck it up and yank to remove it and a bit drop down. After grabbing it she walk across the wooden bridge and up to the Plant Nursery Room. She saw vine but couldn't shake she was forgetting something. She walk pass the vine and goes though the door and back out to the Skybridge where more of the red flowers appear.

Fluttershy dodge the first one and suck it and got a bit. She did the same to the second one and the third. The third drop out a Gem that Fluttershy grab. Fluttershy walk back to the Tower Lobby and sign in relief. She was glad to be out of there. Fluttershy enter the Plant Nursery room and saw a handle. She use the Ghost Seeker to turn the handle and the water turn on.

Fluttershy spotted a bucket and grab it. She walk over to the water pouring out of a pipe and full the bucket up. She walk over to the vine and water it. The vine grew and broke though the ceiling as Fluttershy flinch at the damage. She set the bucket down and climb up the vines leafs to the Rumpus Room.

There Fluttershy felt scare, not just plain scare, but scare of off her wits. She didn't like the feeling in the room and couldn't shake that she was being watch in the room. She walk forward and notices a few jack-in-the-boxes and a Doll that was looking at her. Fluttershy thought this room was familiar to her. Back at the Mansion she won, she went through a room that had Jack-in-the-boxes and another room had dolls in it.

Still she believe that there was something odd about the room and look around. She started one of the Jacks-in-the-box and waited. The Jack pop out early and Fluttershy jump and land on her Flank. She pick herself up and saw a doll house with a window that was lit. Fluttershy walk up and look in it.

Fluttershy was surprise that she could see herself inside looking through the same window of the same doll house in the same room. She turn to see one of the Jack-in-the-box move as if something was try to get out. Fluttershy move away and walk to the same box and play it. Instead of a jack, a Greenie pop out scaring her. It laugh and move out of the way for two more Greenies.

Fluttershy stun and caught them and saw two more Greenies that appear out of the box. Fluttershy stun and caught both of them. The lights and Fluttershy felt a lot better then when she enter the room, but the doll just kept looking at her and Fluttershy walk around it and the head follow her. Fluttershy kept going around and the head kept following her until it pop off and a Gem came out.

"Oh! That was a bit scary." Fluttershy said now fully relaxing as she grab the Gem.

She left the room and enter the Family Room. The place look like it was trash on the side of the kitchen when a tree branch broke though. Then Fluttershy her a familiar creepy laugh. A Shadowbolt was in the room. Fluttershy turn on her Dark-Light and look around the room. She made a drawer appear and caught the Sprit Orbs. She open it and fond bits inside. She collect them and enter the next part of the room.

Fluttershy saw a strange box on the wall and turn it on. It play some music and bits came out at it finish. Fluttershy jump as lighting flash and show a picture the was on the wall before fading away. Fluttershy relax and walk to the spot and shine her Dark-Light. The Spirit Orbs appear and Fluttershy caught them and move the picture back in place. She jump as she heard the Shadowbolt appear.

"I knew you fall for it, Shadow B. Trap strikes again!" He said and turn invisible.

Fluttershy switch to the Dark-Light and shine it around until she found and stun the Shadowbolt Ghost. She stunk up it tail and yank back. The Shadowbolt boucle around the living room for a few seconds and boucle in the kitchen until he stop himself. Fluttershy collect the bits and ran into the Kitchen and shine her Dark-Light again. The Shadowbolt appear stun and Fluttershy yank in his tail. This time he boucle around the kitchen and into the Living room and hit of the music box and fell to the ground and lay still.

Fluttershy ran into the room and suck him up. She jump on the hose to get it in fully. Fluttershy smiles and the lights turn on. She walk through the door and enter Solarium Room. Fluttershy felt something was missing and shine her Dark-Light around and fond a crest. After she caught the Spirit Orbs, she open the crest and found a Gem inside. Fluttershy saw that the stairs were gone but a chain was on the side.

Fluttershy pull the chain and the stairs appear. Fluttershy walk up them and spotted a hole in the wall. She look in it and saw three Hiders in three beds. One Hider got up and grab it pillow and flew to another Hider and smack it before quickly flying back to it bed and lay down. The Hider that was hit turn to the third and grab it pillow and smack it hard. It flew back to it bed and lay back down as the third Hider look confuse on what just happen.

Fluttershy turn from the wall and enter the West Bedroom. Fluttershy was surprise when she enter, where were the beds and the Hiders? She look all over the room and only fond a fan and a lock door. Fluttershy look up and started to blow at the fan. Soon the wall move back and the beds appear.

Two of the Hiders gang up on the third and whack it with their pillows. One spotted Fluttershy and warn the others. They turn and flew into each bed they were in. Fluttershy try to knock on the beds to make the Hiders appear but no luck this time. She suck off one of the blankets and a Hider appear. Fluttershy stun and caught it. The other two appear and hid back in the beds. Then to beds move around.

Fluttershy had a hard time keeping up with the beds and when the stop, Fluttershy didn't know which beds had what. She move to the first bed and pull the blanket off and a Hider appear. Fluttershy stun and caught it. The last Hider peek out and hid itself again and the beds move around again.

Fluttershy knew this was harder because there was only one Hider this time, She walk to the middle bed and pull the blanket off. She choose the wrong bed. The Hider pop out of the first bed and said, "Nah, Nah!" and hid once more. The beds move again but this time Fluttershy kept her eye on the bed with the Hider. She walk to the third bed and pull the blanket off. The Hider appear and Fluttershy stun and caught it.

"Nah, Nah, yourself." Fluttershy taunted as the key pop out.

Fluttershy grab the key and unlock the door and step into the West Hall. There were two doors but the top one was lock and Fluttershy had to go out the door to Crow Nest. It did live up to it name as there were Crows everywhere. Fluttershy walk across the bridge and renter the Conservatory room. This time, the plants has over grown the room and Fluttershy saw the purple Balloon plants again.

She suck one up and floated to the top floor and landed on the east side of the room. Fluttershy step on the rug and fell through hole. Luckily she still had the Purple Balloon and floated back up. She move pass the hole and suck the balloon up and went to the door and enter back to the Crow Nest. There was a portrait of a key and Fluttershy use her Dark-Light to get it out.

She walk through the door again and could now see the west side of the room. Fluttershy suck up and purple balloon pant and floated over there. She land and saw a golden balloon plant and suck it up and a trail of Bits appear. Fluttershy blew air into the plant and floated to the bits. After getting all of them, the balloon turn purple and Fluttershy floated back up to the upper floor and landed were the Golden balloon plant was. This time there was a normal purple plant and Fluttershy spotted that a door was missing.

She suck the balloon up and shine her Dark-Light and a door appear. She caught the Spirit Orbs and open the door, she was suck inside and saw she was now in a room with Red Bits again. She saw a map showing the top view again and saw she had 15 second once again. She ran to the closer red bit and follow the trail and drop down. She saw the red bit from the side of her and grab it and ran up the stairs. Her time was running short but she grab the last bit and a crest appear. Fluttershy walk over to it and open it. A Gem appear and Fluttershy grab it. Then was suck into the air.

The door open and Fluttershy walk out. She suck up a purple balloon plant and floated slowly to the ground level. She suck it in and walk back out to the Crows Nest. She cross the bridge and enter the west hall again. She walk up to the lock door and unlock it. She enter the West Bathroom and saw a Slammer checking himself out in the mirrors. It reminding her of Spike was doing the same thing.

Fluttershy stun the Slammer and started to suck it up and two Greenies appear. One had Glasses and the other was a plain that hit her. "Ow!" Fluttershy said as she was knock away and lost her grab on the Slammer. She saw the Glasses Greenie and suck the glasses off. Fluttershy then ran as the Slammer try to attack her. She charge her flashlight and release the Bright Flash that sun all three ghosts. Fluttershy caught all three a once and saw a purple puddle. Fluttershy got closer and step in it. Then she was cover in the puddle as a Purple Ghost appear. It laugh and started to punch her.

Fluttershy shook herself and broke free. She look at the smaller puddle and try to sunk them up, instead the turn into the ghost that caught her. She shine her Bright Flash to stun all of them. She suck them up and saw no health to be show. She yank and caught them all. The purple gates rise and Fluttershy look around and saw some old paper. Fluttershy saw something glowing in it and suck it off and a Gem appear. Fluttershy grab it and went to a chair.

Fluttershy walk up to the chair and sat in it. She was a bit tried and lay down on the chair. Then it folded up with her in it and the chair rise up. The chair stop and unfolded making Fluttershy fall off. Fluttershy has reach Rooftop Pool. She rub her flank and saw the pool and started to look around. As she look, she notices one of the frog statues was missing, She shine her Dark-Light and the Spirit Orbs appear. Fluttershy suck them open and the key appear out of the statue and in the pool.

Fluttershy jump in the pool and pick up the key. Now she can get the door in the Hollow Tree unlock. But sudden laughing was heard. Fluttershy move her flashlight to see some hanging pots moves. Fluttershy then turn and saw the dive board move and water was splash. Fluttershy watch water as the water move around. Fluttershy look around again and didn't notice a ghost that appear behind her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" the ghost shouted and Fluttershy scream and threw the key in the air. The Ghost caught it and laugh before disappearing.

Fluttershy stood up and saw the water move again. She shine her Bright Flash and stun the ghost. She shuck it up and saw the water move around, this time with two trails. Fluttershy shine her Bright Flash and stun one of them. Before she could sunk it up, the other appear and scare her. They both disappear and Fluttershy ready her Flashlight again. This she stun both of them and caught them. A fourth trail appear and Fluttershy let her Bright Flash out again. She caught it and the key drop in the dive board.

Fluttershy climb out of the pool and head to the dive board. She grab the key and held it in the air, only for it to get grab by the Ghost Dog from the Gloomy Manor! It started to play with it and crew on it as well. Fluttershy was surprise to see the Ghost dog and notice that it took the key.

"No!, No!, No! Bad Doggie!" Fluttershy said try to stop the ghost dog.

The ghost dog turn to Fluttershy and bark happily. It threw the key out the window and turn back to Fluttershy. It bark again and jump after it. Fluttershy just stood there not believing what just happen. She sign and heard her Ghost Looker theme play. "Hello?"

"Fluttershy did you get the key?" Ghost Studies ask.

"Yes, but a Ghost Dog took it." Fluttershy said sadly.

"Wait a Ghost Dog? I thought you can handle any type of Animal?" Rainbow voice was heard.

"RAINBOW DASH!" The rest was heard.

"It true." Rainbow voice said again.

"Well, let bring you back, I might be able to find the ghost dog." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off.

Fluttershy sign as her mission was some-what complete. She open her Ghost Looker and saw her score. Then she was brought back to the shack.



Fluttershy appear in the shack and land in her flank. She sign again.

"Lady Fluttershy, it is ok. No pony are always successful." Luna assure her.

"Yes, remember our first meeting? I was trying to catch the Shadowbolt Ghost, but it over power me and knock me away." Ghost Studies explain.

"Yeah, remember watching me practice for the Fastest Flyer title? I couldn't do the Sonic Rainboom then." Rainbow Dash agree.

"And I too was unsuccessful.", Celestia said, "I try to reason with Luna when she wouldn't lower the Moon for the Sun and she became Nightmare Moon."

Fluttershy smile, she was feeling a lot better now.

"Yes, I guess I'm not alone." she smile.

"Yeah! No pony is successful every if they try." Pinkie said.

"All right Pinkie, I think she got the idea." Applejack said, pulling Pinkie away.

Well let's empty the Ghost Seeker 5000 and look for that ghost dog." Ghost Studies said and the tube appear.

Fluttershy place the hose in the tube and all the Ghosts, Bits, Gems, and Shadowbolt went to the Vault. Fluttershy pull the hose off and waited for Ghost Studies to find the Ghost Dog.

Before he could steamers pop out again and Ghost Studies was surprise.

"You collect enough Bits for me to upgrade the Ghost Seeker 5000 again!" He said.

"Really? That was fast and it took her two missions." Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy took off the Ghost Seeker 5000 and hand it to Ghost Studies.

"The Upgrade won't take too long. Just wait and I'll have both the Ghost Seeker and the Ghost Dog done and fond." Ghost Studies said as he got to work.
