Another average rainstorm marks another average day in Ponyville. Creatures predictably flee to their shelter of choice to escape the cold drizzle. A predictable routine in this microcosm of Equestrian. Yet, even amongst the mundane, each day is unique for its own reasons... In Carrot Top's case, she just happens to find herself sitting across from an actual fire breath, a mass of scales and muscles, that could crush a pony easily, dragon. No need to panic, hopfeully...
Just another average day...

While this is technically a follow-up to That time Carrot Top fell into a rut it is not needed to read this story.

Life is full of all sorts of potholes. Some bigger than other, some deeper than other. Some potholes' falls hurt, other might even completely break you. Some potholes, however, can change your life.
So, what is a mare to do when she finds herself falling into one?
