Location Ponyville

Time 7:02 A.M

Walking through the night turned out to be a stupid idea, sure I'm now at a hill overlooking Ponyville but I'm now exhausted. I sit down with my back against the cart and look at the town. The town is a decent size for a little cottage village you would see in Europe along time ago minus the really bright colors and way less pink. Not to many ponies walking about yet except ponies that work at stalls that are down a street leading towards the middle of town with a water fountain. I lay forward onto my belly and unsling my rifle so I can use the scope. I need binoculars now so I'm not always pointing a gun at some one. Yeah the list of items I need keeps growing bigger and bigger, hell might as well ad a house to that list since I'm going to have a lot of stuff. God I hope I don't become a pack rat. Looking through the scope let's me get more detail of what the town looks like. Really all it did was make my brain hurt. There's a huge tree close to the center of town that has windows and a door. So some one lives in a tree, I'm avoiding them than since people who live in trees are either hippies or some one that is evil. But what really blows my mind is the house made out of I assume ginger bread. Just why just why. Wait the door just opened. A pink pony with a poofy mane and tail walks out and shudders. I stare at her shuddering than all of a sudden she stops and turns toward my direction with a huge smile and waves. I stop staring at her through the scope to see how far away she is. Yeah she's just a dot, how does she see me? *Yawn* I stare at the cart where the yawn came from. So I get up to go greet Misty.

"Good morning Misty." I say as I walked to the front of the cart to get the left over firewood.

Misty slowly opens her eyes. "Morning Wolf." *Yawn* She yawns again while I set up to start cooking. She suddenly looks around confused. "Where are we? Did we move?" She looks at me.

"Yeah I walked through out the night to get here." I start a fire and start shaking up the pancake mix.

"Why would you do that? Aren't you tired?" She gets up and walks to the front of the cart.

"Because I'm stupid and thought I'd be fine, but yesterday was a very taxing day." I put a pan on the fire and pour the mix onto it. There is a sudden thud against the side of my helmet.

"Don't say things like that!" Misty shakes her head at me and does a serious face. Its just to cute to be taken seriously. I boop her on the noose. Her face scrunches up and she swats her hove at my hand. "Hey don't do that!" She retorts back,

"Misty can you get a plate, this flap jack is almost done." I ask her as I take the pan off the fire. She gets a plate and I put the huge pancake on it. She stares at it in awe. Looks like a found another of her weakness beside being petted. She digs in into like a savage animal. I back up as pancake crumbs start flying. I turn around and kick out the fire and wash the pan out.

"How come you aren't eating to?" I turn around and see Misty staring at me. I walk up to her and brush some crumbs off her muzzle.

"I snacked through out the night. I'm just tired but I wont sleep until I get you into safety." I take her plate and wash it up to. "Speaking of that I'll have to give you over to the right authority's when we get into town."

"But you said you would take care of me." She starts to sniffle. I dry off the plates and walk over to her. When I get to her I start to pet her to calm her down.

"Hey I will but, I can't just keep you. The government needs to know of what happened and needs to deal with the situation to." I stop petting her and start to pull the cart.

"But what will happen to me?" She softly asks still a little sad.

"You'll most likely go to an orphanage but I'll still be with you even if you do go to a new family." I look back at her. "Believe me Misty if I could I would take you in as my own but all I have is my gear and about three thousand bits."

"So I'll still see you?" She questions me.

"Yes as long as you wish to see me I'll still check up on you." I answered back as we continue on to the town in silence.

Time 8:13 A.M

We arrive at the town to see that more ponies have woken up. As we enter they all stop and stare at me for a moment. Feeling nervous I just wave to them as friendly I could make it seem while I tense up. They wave back and smile and continue about there day. What was that all about? I continue through the town to the market stalls and approach a orange pony in a cowboy hat selling apples. I walk up to her.

"Howdy there partner would you like to by some apples?" She kindly smile up to me.

"Maybe later ma'am. I'm looking for the authorities. I saved Misty Dew here from some wooden wolves but they got her father." I point at Misty who shrinks back into the cart.

Her face pales. "Shucks I'm sorry Misty. Here I'll take you to the police. There right this way." She puts up a closed sign and leaves from behind her counter.

"Ma'am you don't have to do that." She holds up her hove to stop me from talking.

"Its alright Its going to be a slow day any way. I'm Applejack by the way and your outfit sure seems similar from some where." I follow her as she walks down the street.

"Ranger Wolf and you wouldn't happen to know of a Breaburn would you?" I ask her as we get to the station.

Her eyes light up with recognition. "That was you than? He wrote about you saving the town, so thanks for that." I nod my head at her as I walk inside.

"Come on Misty." I wave her to follow and she gets up to follow.

"Come by the farm outside of town we can talk more there." Applejack says as we get inside. Inside is just a small police station with an cream mare in a police uniform that has a red mane manning the counter.

The mares eyes light up when we approach her. "Are you that Wolf pony who saved Appaloosa?" Her name on her tag was Rosy Law.

"Yes ma'am but I here on an important issue." She gives me her attention. I point down to Misty. "Her father and her where traveling when they got attacked by wooden wolves. I was able to save her but not the father." I sadly say.

Rosy's eyes light up like dinner plates and comes out from the counter to get onto Misty's level. "Is this true little one?"

Misty starts bawling. "Yes the timberwovles got my dad and where about to get me when but Wolf saved me." Misty keeps crying while the mare stands up.

"OFFICER SPRINKLES GET IN HERE WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!" Rosy yells and a door opens and out rushes another police mare. She was brown with a chocolate mane and the minute she saw Misty she ran up to her and hugged her. "Take her over there so I can talk to Wolf please." She shake her head and brings Misty to a couch and tries to comfort her.

"What happens now?" I ask her.

Rosy sighs. "We'll take her to ponyville orphanage under Tender Care until we can find her file from the government and decide from there. What was the fathers name?" Law asks me.

"Tater Tot. He was a potato farmer." I reply back.

"Okay well Can you sign out a statement and we'll start the process of getting this sorted out." She goes behind the counter and starts writing a report. Five minutes later she hand it to me to sign. I look over to Misty after I sign it.

"Can I be updated on what happens to her?" I ask law.

Rosy sadly smile at me. "Of course you can. Come back tomorrow afternoon we'll have something by then, but I hate to say it but say good bye for now code says we have to get her to the hospital as quick as we can."

I nod my head and walk over to Misty and kneel down to her level. "I guess this is good bye for now." She hugs me and I hug her back.

"I'll see you again right?" She sniffles out.

I end the hugs and stand up. "Of course. Take care of her please."

"We will." Sprinkles says as she puts Misty on her back and walks away with law to the hospital.

As they walk away Misty says one last thing. "Thank you Wolf for saving me. your my hero!" My softly cry and walk out the police station and start to walk out of town. I silently cry to myself as I reach the outskirts. Calm down Wolf if you want to do what your thinking of you need a plan. I pull out my bit bag and stare at it.

"You know what screw it. My old life is slowly going away and is being replaced but today I make it my own again!" I stand up and start planning out what to do. No matter what happens I made a Promise to Misty and I'll keep it as long as I breath.
