Star Guardian!
This all seems rather cool, even if this thread is sort of dead. Here's a little thing I worked on
Well, there you do. Not my best work, I'll admit. But since this was done an hour before I leave for college, I'm a bit rushed and tired. XD Anywho! Some story notes!
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" The gentle voice of the Mayor seemed worried above all else that she could have felt. But, I couldn't see why. She tried hard for me and I know she liked having me around.
"I promise you, Rarity, everything will be fine. I know you tried hard and it's kinda fun to go to a mystery place instead." I replied, watching Porter pick up my last box of items.
"I feel like I could have done more..." She trailed off and her gaze was kept firmly at the ground. I know she wouldn't let me see, but I still knew she was close to crying.
"Don't fret over it, alright? With any luck, I may end up in the same town as Fang or maybe Nibbles and Mira!" That attempt at cheering her up seemed to work for a moment before the frown appeared on her pretty face once more.
"Fang's started to show up in Main Street." She mumbled.
"Shouldn't you be happy?" I asked, confused.
"I am. It's just he seems..." She trailed off as she couldn't find the word to use.
"Off?" I asked. She snapped her fingers and nodded.
"Off! Like, he'll talk to me and be happy to see me, but it's like I'm not talking to the Fang I knew. He says he misses Konoha, but I feel like that's only a half-truth." Her normal cheery face was replaced with a look of confusion or hurt. Finally looking at me, she gave me a small smile, "If you do happen to come across him, ask him about it for me please." She requested. I nodded quickly, knowing how fond she was of the wolf she let slip. Everyone in this village that knew Fang would know the two were close and our poor mayor was heartbroken when she returned from being ill to find he'd moved.
"I promise I will ask him about it if I see him." The train gave a ring of it's bells to signify it was leaving and she looked sad once more. Hastily, she pulled me into a tight hug and I immediately hugged back for the last time in a long while.
"I'll miss you." She whispered. I didn't reply back and hugged her a little tighter before I pulled away.
"Look after Vesta for me." I told her with my usual cheerful smile before I stepped onto the train. Taking my seat at the window closest to the platform, I waved at Mayor Miku until the train station and Konoha were out of sight. Then, I sat back in my seat and wondered about where I'll go.
All I know for certain is that by any means I must keep my promise to Miku. I will find Fang and I will send him back to Konoha. Even if it means I can never return. She's happiest with him like I was happiest with Vesta. And I want her to keep that happiness. So, if it's Fang she needs, it's Fang she'll get.

So I wasn't intending on using Shep for this since he was never actually voided in my town. However, he came close to it and I was worried I'd have to void him. So this kind of take place if my worries became reality and he was voided. Hence why the mayor is upset about him leaving without any idea as to where he'll go.
It was originally going to be a story about Fang and he is still part of the main focus and will probably be a main character for my story. But since so many others have started with the notion of them moving away because they didn't see the mayor for a while (which is exactly what happened to Fang in my case. I was ill for a week and when I came back, he was gone.), so I wanted to go for a different approach where the mayor let the villager move, but tried hard first to find them a new home but failed to do so.
I remembered the mention of main street in other stories and how animals from the void will be allowed there, but not all of them is technically there. And how each of us kind of have particular animals we are extremely close with that they feel personal to us than the same one in a different town (as shown by the Marshal fic a few pages back). I figured, if you're really close to a particular villager and you accidentally let them leave, if they were to return to main street from the void, they'd seem a little off. You wouldn't know why they seemed off and they wouldn't be able to tell you regardless, so you'd be left suspicious or curious as to why they act like that. Also, Fang does actually say he misses the town when you see him on Main Street (first thing he said when I first saw him there)
Oh, and for those of you wondering; my mayor is called Miku, but I had Shep give her the nickname of Rarity. I actually got the small idea (though it's invisible in this as I couldn't really find a way to make it more known or at least subtly known. Maybe if I do think of a way, I'll edit this post to include it) that when Shep stepped on the train, that was when he first starts to 'lose' or 'forget' himself as he doesn't call the mayor by her given nickname like he normally would. Just something I thought of because I've never heard any animals I've gotten from other towns call they're mayors by given nicknames, so it's like a small bit of themselves is erased for the new town once they step on the train. That's my idea anyway. XD
Currently now debating if I have Fang be somewhat crazy and have Shep try to 'bring him back to reality' or have Fang just 'give up' on returning home and try to have Shep accept his fate of being in the void. So, not quite sure where this will, so we'll see.
