Pteron had disappeared around breakfast time.
His mama hadn't seemed too concerned, though she'd tutted as he remained invisible during lunch and stretched a wing over him during his noon nap to ensure he didn't slip away unseen. She knows he can't control it yet, his gift, but she had also seemed quite relieved when he appeared beside her the moment his eye blinked back to wakefulness.
She'd sent him off to find Papa, like she does most afternoons, and Pteron had intended to follow her directions. He really had.
But then the wind buffeted his mane and he caught the scent of a stranger, and the little pegasus is suddenly filled with the images of Mama and Papa being so proud of him for finding a friend (and of course, the stranger must be a friend because everyone is a friend), and he leaves the path.
The idea of surprising his new friend is a fun one, so the dun colt is as quiet as he can be (this is probably not quiet at all) as he approaches the tussock he can smell she is behind.
"Boo!" He shouts, leaping forward with his pale wings spread wide to land splayed-legged directly in front of the apricot filly. Unfortunately, the moment he lands, he disappears once more leaving only the small indents of hooves and the fading echo of his shout.
Change tactics.
"Oooooh. I am a scary ghost." He says, because he likes ghost stories and so this girl must too. His soft voice is not at all terrifying, but given that it is utterly disembodied, perhaps it will have the effect he hopes for. "Ooooooh."
