This story is a prequel to All-American Girl

It's been a few years since first contact between Equestria and Human Earth. Both worlds have desperately tried to push aside the ugliness of the inter-dimentional custody battle for the "Lost Foal" in the interest of pursuing better relations. The two worlds have grown more comfortable over the years, but things are far from perfect.

Shining Badge, the Sheriff of the small, backwater Equestrian town of Dodge Junction finds himself dealing with the murder of two ponies from his town at the hands of human "big game hunters." The traditional, principled old stallion soon gets caught up in a battle for jurisdiction between ponies from Equestria's Mage Guild and a strange human agency. With corruption and bigotry on all sides, Shining Badge is faced with choosing between his own sense of morality and that of the Law.

Written as an entry for the March Story Challenge over at the All-American Girl Saga
