Carrot Top stomped in the silent library. She paused when she saw Lyra and Bonbon. “You! I never wanted to see you again!” Lyra snarled like a dog and glared her in the face. “Well, I wrote the song for you, bimbo!” Carrot Top was stung. Lyra was right. All she’d done is complain when they’d tried their best to help. Sudden realization swamped over her when she realized how greedy she was. “Sorry. Alright? If you don’t want to be famous, it’s okay with me. I won’t put your name in the video if you don’t want me to. You too, Bonbon.”
“Good. Thanks, Carrot Top. I’m sorry too, for not wanting what you want.” Carrot Top glanced behind her. “It’s okay. Not everypony has the same hobbies.”
Bonbon slouched down. “And I have terrible stage fright, anyway!” Lyra nodded. “She’s right.”
Trixie walked in now. “I’m so sorry.” She gasped. Apparently she’d ran here. “I realized how selfish I was being! You five are the only ones who forgave me for being so…me.” She put her head down and said the last words sadly. Carrot Top walked over to her. “No, I was the selfish one! You were right.” Trixie looked surprised. “Really? Thanks!”
Vinyl broke in. “I’m tired of this mushy stuff. Let’s do the video now!”
Bonbon started recording and Carrot Top, who’d memorized the words, sung: I’m the C-to the A-to the double R-O-T-T-O-P, and Friendship is the only thing that matters to me! I’m Carrotlicious.” Bonbon stopped the video. “Okay I’ll put it on the internet and call you in 10 days to tell you how many views it has. And thank you so much for keeping Lyra and me out of it.”
“No problem. And sorry again for being a selfish monster. Especially in here.” Vinyl Scratch’s laugh interrupted them. “Octavia! You have to stop being a goody-goody! You don’t have to leave and money!” Octavia blushed. “Well, I feel bad about using the quiet library to record music.”






Carrot Top opened her door ten days later to find Four of her friends. “Bonbon is checking the views. She’ll be over in a few minutes to tell.” Lyra said. Vinyl and Octavia tipped their heads to the sides. “All I have to say is I’m surprised to say how it turned out” Octavia murmured and Vinyl muttered, “I wasn’t expecting this.” Trixie looked happy and bouncy. “I know how many views too! I wasn’t expecting it either! OHMYGOSHCARROTTOPISGOINGTOBESOHAPPY.” 
Carrot Top didn’t have a computer, so she didn’t know what her friends meant. She knew that if she asked, they’d want to save it for a surprise though. “Bonbon is here!” Bonbon ran up and gave them a hug. “Oh My, Carrot Top! 3 million ponies have seen it! There’s already remixes, fan art, and other stuff!” Carrot Top’s jaw dropped open. “What? Well, you know I couldn’t have done it without you all!” Her blood was rushing quickly and her heart was beating fast with excitement. Her mind was just so happy. “You are all my best friend sin the entire world and I’m sorry about all of our fights!” She hugged her friends and a single tear shed down her cheek.
