The wagon was set up once again at the usual spot between Ponyville and the Everfree Forest. They had just returned from a mission, which hadn't ended as well as planned. Both Miasmic and Stormy had been poisoned and were now in urgent need of a potion to reverse the effect. Horror had managed to gather a sample, and now were they at Ponyville to get an antidote.

Director Cut grabbed the carved wooden box he had and nodded at Mintie. "I need you to make sure nopony enters. If anypony finds these two will our cover be blown."

Inside was Miasmic and Stormy still in their reaper shape, as they were unable to change. They were both looking sick.

Director gathered his coins and then he headed into the Everfree Forest. The only pony he knew who would hold the antidote lived in here.

He left the wagon and looked around. In the distance were ponies busy with their own business, which was a good thing because then wouldn't anypony interrupt him when he entered the forest.

The air was dark around him, and the forest was dense. At times could he hear an owl, or a bird, but he didn't see a lot. He walked for a few minutes before he saw the cottage. There were voices inside, so he stopped for a minute outside the door.

A minute later swung the door open and a light grey bat pony trotted out. He had a quite poofy darker mane and brown eyes, with square glasses, and his cutiemark was an airship.

"'sup." The stranger nodded and took flight, vanishing.

Director shrugged and headed inside. It was dark, and the shelves were filled with stuff on jars and bottles.

"So a reaper has come to see me." It was impossible to not recognize that accent.

Director nodded and dropped the box. His eyes flashed once and he took his reaper shape. "I need an antidote. Two of my teammates are poisoned." He dropped a knife. "Remains of the poison is on that."

A zebra came out and studied the knife. She then looked at him. "You have come a long way, Horror Movie."

Horror stepped back, startled. "How do you know my name."

"Other reapers told tales of whom fought Blood Fang and failed" She nodded. "Yet he has lived and some say he relived"

"So ponies still tell the tale. I'm trying to lay that behind me." Horror sighed. He did not like to talk about the massacre, and how he ha managed to survive.

"If you say so." The zebra looked at the knife again. "Give me a few hours and the remedy will be done."

Horror nodded and changed back, and then headed out.

He returned to the wagon. "Will they be okay for a while longer?"

Mintie nodded. "They'll survive a few more days before they'll be permanently hurt."

He smiled. "Glad to hear. The antidote will be done in a few hours. I'll head into town for a little while now to try to get supplies and some food."

Director then headed into Ponyville, heading to the market. It was crowded, as usual, and he carefully avoided bumping into anypony. He headed over to a stand that was selling apples.

He looked at the wares, thinking a bit.

"Heya. What can I get ya?"

Director almost jumped, startled. "Uhm…" he still hadn't decided. He looked up. The pony behind the counter was Applejack, who worked at the Sweet Apple Acers.

"Ah. I see. You ain't sure on what you want yet." She looked at him.

Director nodded. "Not at all. What can you recommend?"

She got out some items. "How 'bout an apple pie, caramel apple or some freshly picked apples?"

Director looked at them, and nodded. "How much for one pie, four caramel apples and a bag those fresh ones?"

"You'll get them for four bits." She packed them up for him.

Director nodded and put them in his carrying bag.

"Oh. By the way. Aren't you Director Cut?" she looked at him

He nodded. "How did you know?"

"You made that documentary about the aftermath of the events at Hearts and Hooves day. I think the mayor wants to see ya." She pointed at the town hall.

He smiled. "Thanks. I'll drop by on my way back to my wagon."

He then headed off, thinking. This was weird. Why did ponies remember him? The event had happened several months ago, and he would have been forgotten by now. He had to talk with Death about this, but that would have to wait. Somepony wanted to see him so he had to do that first.

He walked into the town hall. There weren't many ponies here now, but he saw that the mayor was talking with some other ponies. They then headed off.

"You wanted to see me?" Director spoke as she turned.

"Oh. You're finally here." She looked at him.

He nodded. "So what do you want to know?"

"Well." She came down from the pavilion. "Firstly do I want to thank you for that documentary. Ponies have come from all around Equestria to see our town, wanting to know more."

Director nodded. "They tend to want to see areas where weird stuff have happened."

"But I want to know if you know anything about those two who appeared that night." She appeared to be curious. "I want to thank them too for saving our town."

Director shrugged. "I have no idea. Sorry."

"Ah don't worry." She smiled. "I have some stuff to take care of now, so I'll leave you to do your stuff. We all hope that you will come back for more events later." She then trotted away to do the usual mayor business.

Director sighed and headed back to the market for more stuff. He then returned to the wagon.

Haze and Blue was sitting outside, both looking dazed. Meanwhile was Mintie talking to the zebra. They then nodded and the zebra headed back into the forest.

"Ah. You're back." Mintie smiled. "You just missed Zecora."

"So that's her name?" Director nodded.

Mintie giggled. "Don't tell me that you didn't ask for her name when you were in there."

He shrugged. "I forgot. But when will the two be all fine?"

"Soon." Mintie giggled a bit more. "So what did you get?"

"A lot of good stuff." He smiled and got the stuff into the food shelf in the wagon. "Tonight will we have a great meal."

She smiled and nudged him playfully. "You look a bit worried."

He nodded. "I am. Ponies here remembered me, and even my name."

Mintie stopped. "What?"

"It shouldn't be possible, but they did. Is the spell wearing off?" He was concerned.

Mintie sighed. "This is bad…"

He shook his head. "We shouldn't worry about it now. We have to get these two back, as they look quite distant right now."

Mintie nodded in agreement and they used the rest of the evening, trying to wake the dazed ones up.
