"You have to talk to him. I can't for you," Swirls whispered. "I know that," Carrot replied. "Its my bravery quest!" She looked up at Benny and could clearly see he was getting annoyed. "H-hi! I'm, urm, Carrot Top! I see you have some marvelous sword," She said nervously. Benny didn't look amused. "I know I have great swords. Now I am going to ask one last time what do you want?" Benny said beginning to look angry. "I-I just want to ask if I could,uh, buy a sword maybe?" Carrot said. "Maybe?" Benny replied looking more angry by the minute. "Yes, I mean, no, I mean I want the sword yes," she said. "I don't sell items to ponies ," Benny said and he began to go back in his shack. Carrot Top lost it. She has had enough of his sour attitude. "Excuse me?!" Carrot said getting more fed up by the second. "And to think I was going to do you a favor," Carrot said. Benny looked at her. "Yeah that's right! I am going to face the dragon that has been terrorizing you folks. All I wanted was to buy a simple sword asking really politely and you refuse cause I am a pony! What makes otters so special over anyone else huh? Whats so special!?!" Carrot said. She didn't even know this part of her. Normally ponies would walk over her all the time. I guess that bravery was showing! Benny looked at her with a look in his eyes. Not meanness or grumpiness but something else. Guilt? "I am sorry it is just I am tired of ponies thinking they are the smartest when they won't believe something simple as talking animals. I will gladly assist you in picking out a sword,” Benny said. Satisfied Carrot Top excepted the apology. After awhile they picked out a light sword with sleek handle. "You did pretty good back there. I didn't know you had that in you!" Swirls said. "Neither did I!" Carrot said smiling. "What's next on the list of thing we need to get?" she asked. "Carrots." Swirls replied .
