Carrot Top's best friend crashes a balloon into her garden.

Originally written as an entry for Everfree Northwest 2021's Iron Author speed writing contest, where it won an honorable mention. I recommend checking out everyone's entries, they were all amazing.

The original draft was shorter than the word limit for FIMFiction, so consider this version an "extended cut" of sorts. Some additional dialogue was added, and some lines were rearranged, but it's as close to the original draft as possible. I've added the original, shorter draft -- which is the one I prefer -- as the second chapter.
