The Grand Galloping Gala! An event that six mares had looked forward to for a long time, only to be met with disappointment when their dreams failed to come true. But what if they had gotten everything they had wanted?

Well, that would leave poor Spike all alone for the rest of the night, with only bad vibes and Pony Joe to keep him company. That is, until a certain Princess makes her royal return....

This story is a sequel to Fancy Pants and The Phantom of Canterlot

It has been one month since the "Phantom of Canterlot" incident. Fancy Pants has developed the reputation as an amateur but brilliant detective, much to his chagrin. On a normal morning of cleaning out his "mystery" filled mailbox, he and his apprentice discover an ominous letter from an old friend in Ponyville.

The pair set out for the small town and learn that three little ponies have seemingly vanished from the face of Equestria. This leads the duo down a path of conundrums and puzzles that will push them to their limits and reveal horrors that should have remained hidden.

(Takes place between seasons 2 and 3. Inspired by the Professor Layton series)

NOTE: Completed!
