Anon is enjoying a cup of coffee and a great book in Twilight's library, but the arrival of a pegasus turns his life upside down.

It might also be a response to that, or it might not. (Not intended, but things click.)

Everything was going well in Carrot Top's carrot patch. The carrots were growing in good health, and she tended to them earnestly. She was retired from her old painful life, and things were finally looking up for her. Then, without any reason in particular, everything started to go wrong.

Chaos erupts across the land. On her small farm at the outskirts of town, Carrot Top finds that her carrots are sick of being farmed. Granted life, they are out for her blood with a vengeance.

Little do those devils know, she used to do a whole lot more than farm carrots....

Luna is a strange mare. Cadance is only now just starting to see how strange she is when Luna mentions the unthinkable. Maybe she'll learn something new in the process.

"C'mon! It'll be fun!"

"I mean- Are we really sure we should be headin' into the Everfree forest?"

"Yeah... Rarity told me to not go snooping around places like that..."

"Oh come on! Don't be a bunch of chickens! It'll be fun! And plus, we could even get a cutie mark in archaeology maybe!"

"What's Ar...charcoal or, whatever the hays that name."

"The study of cool castles full of mysterious secrets, like Daring Do does in her book: Daring Do and the Secret of the Sphinx!"

"Right."

"I mean, sure, if we can do anythin' to get our cutie marks faster, I'm in!"

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ARCHAEOLOGISTS!"

A short story made for the dialogue only contest. I had fun making this, and I think it turned out well.
