The Misadventures of Carrot Top and Roseluck
Roseluck walked through the streets of Ponyville, a town inside the magical land of Equestria. Rose was an Earth Pony, also known as a pony which couldn't use magic or fly. She had light green eyes and a pale yellow coat. Her mane was long and swishy, and her tail too. It was a raspberry colour, with light raspberry streaks.
She walked through the streets, rather bored. Her friends Daisy and Lily were chatting up Big Macintosh, and he didn't really intrest Rose so much so she just left them to be. She betted they hadn't even noticed, even then.
She passed ponies who she didn't see very often, or maybe that's because she was walking in a part of town she didn't go to very often.
She was bored and looked at the sky to see if she could spot anything interesting. Some birds, a few pegasi, an bird with an orange for a body.
Why is there a bird with an orange for a body? she thought to herself as she bumped into somepony.
It was another earth pony, with a curly orange mane and a light yellow coat. Her green eyes shimmered with joy. Near the top of her legs was a symbol, a symbol which contained three delicious-looking carrots. That symbol was a cutie mark, which every pony had and it showed there talents. Roseluck's cutie mark was a dark red rose.
"Scuse me," Roseluck told the orange-maned pony.
"It's okay, I mean, it's not like we know each other! Wait! Now we know each other, which means I have to care! Ooh! Sorry and Excuse me!" the mare had a concerned expression.
"No, no, it's okay."
"No! It's not okay! My name is Carrot Top, and yours is?"
"My name is Roseluck, but you can just call me Rose."
"Okay Rose, nice to meet ya!"
Roseluck smiled at the energetic pony filled with joy who was Carrot Top. She was a nice pony who knew how to make people get a smile on their face, unlike Daisy and Lily who only really talked of boys and there problems.
"Anyways, see you around," Rose said, unsure if she had just made a friendship or not.
"Yeah! See ya!" Carrot Top laughed as she bounced away.

It had been a day since Rose had met Carrot Top, and her life was settling fine. Daisy and Lily told Roseluck how they almost wooed Big Mac until Applejack told him to get back to the farm. However, Rose found this hard to believe.
"And then, that Applejack told Mac that they had to leave, and we were just like, Aww!" Daisy was telling Rose as she was eating some salad.
"Yeah!" Lily agreed with Daisy.
"Mmh-hmm," Rose continued to chew her sallad.
They kept on chatting, until Rose had finished and they were ready to get back to handling flowers.
How boring, Rose thought as she watered the orchids, I wish there was something interesting happening.
She thought of things more fun which she could be doing right now. Helping Cheerilee, reading a Daring Do book. Heck, talking to Twilight was more interesting than this.
"Rose, are you even listening?" One of them asked, Rose couldn't honestly tell the difference.
"No, I am not. This is boring and I don't care of what guys you like," Rose shouted angrily.
Daisy and Lily looked at Rose mouth open, until they started laughing.
"Hahaha! Good one, Roseluck, good one!" They laughed, falling on the floor.
Roseluck got angry and stamped away, her face full with anger and tears. She couldn't believe those two! How in Celestia's name could she possibly have become friends with them in the first place.
Anyways, what now? she thought for a while, sitting on a bench.
She then saw a familiar looking orange maned mare, jumping around, stopping occasionally to talk to some people.
"Carrot Top!" Roseluck shouted at the top of her lungs. She knew this sounded crazy, even to her, but she would give it a try anyways.
"Huh?" Carrot Top turned her head around to see Rose running towards her, "Oh! Its you! Rose! Hey!"
"Hey Carrot Top,"Rose tried to say it as casually as possible, but it just got out awkward.
"Ooh!" She bounced up and down, going in circles, making Roseluck dizzy.
"What is it?"
"I just had a wonderful idea!"
"Which is?"
"Let's have a adventure!"
An adventure. This was what Carrot Top wanted to do with her. Rose was just shocked at this. More like misadventures, to be in exact.
"Well," Carrot asked Roseluck, "You wanna go?"
Roseluck thought of it for a while, and eventually decided.
"Yes, let's get going," She answered Carrot Top.
"What do you think we'll see?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe we'll see large dragons!"
"I doubt that."
"Maybe we'll have to get inside the changeling hive!"
"Zero to none chance."
"Maybe we'll meet Princess Celestia herself!"
"Probably not."
"Maybe we'll..."
"Shouldn't we, pack up on supplies first? And maybe know where were going to."
Carrot Top stopped. Then she stared at Roseluck seriously and said, "Om my gosh! I hadn't thought of that! Well, let's go tomorrow!"
With that, Carrot Top hopped away, humming a tune which sound similar to the song which Lyra kepton insisting was a human song called 'Friday'.
Then she walked home, got herself a bowl of salad, thought a bit about the day and then listened to some of that fancy Canterlot and Manehattan music by that girl called Octavia.
What have I gotten myself into? Rose thought as she plopped a tomato in her mouth, sucking the juices out of it until it was dry.
The Misadventures of Carrot Top and Roseluck
Roseluck had everything ready in her bags. A whole bunch of salad (her favourite meal), a compass, a map, some books for her to read while travel. She put her bag on her back, and herd a knock on her door. She opened it, expecting to see the happy, orange-maned pony, but instead she saw Daisy and Lily.
"Hey Rosey! Whats with all the get-go?" Daisy said, confused yet seemingly happy.
"I'm going travelling," Rose tried to close the door, but Daisy held the door open.
"Are we going travelling? I didn't know that!"
"No, you aren't travelling, I am going with someone else."
"Huh? But we do everything together!"
"Not anymore," Rose shut the door in their faces. There was a loud screech followed by some 'OW OW OW OW!'s This made Rose grin as she sat down on her sofa, waiting for Carrot Top to arrive.
Finally, after about an hour, she heard a knock. She opened it and saw Carrot Top, having a backpack and smiling gleefully.
"Let's go!" She said cheerfully.
"If you want," Rose sighed.
"So where are we going?"
"Well, I was thinking of Manehattan or something."
"Manehattan! Why there!"
"Octavia is performing there, and we could maybe watch it as it's going to be in Manehattan Center Park. No tickets or anything."
"How are we going to get there?"
"Train."
"But that's no fun!"
"Well, we'll have to do with that," Rose saw the train station, gaurded by some ponies.
"Halt!" One said, rather officially.
"What's the matter?" Rose asked the guard pony.
"The trains were wrecked last night by an unknown culprit, probably a pegasus called Rainbow Dash," The gaurd pony showed them a picture of the rainbow-maned pegasus.
"But we're going to Manehattan!"
"You will have to postpone you're visit then."
"C'mon Carrot Top, we'll be going by foot," Rose shrugged as she pulled Carrot Top away.
"Bye!" She waved at the guard pony, who couldn't help smile.
Roseluck and Carrot Top went to the park, and Rose took out their map. She looked at it carefully, regretting slightly that she had actually agreed to go on a adventure. She looked at it. The train would go through Canterlot, and then on for a few hours to Manehattan. At least, it would.
Roseluck cursed under her breath. They would have to walk all the way there. In two weeks. How in the whole of Equestria would they be able to do that. Or maybe they could walk to Canterlot, and then get on a train to Manehattan. Yes, that would do, Rose thought as she rolled up the map and put it in the bag.
"We will be walking to Canterlot, and then we will catch a train there!" Rose said enthusiastically.
"But that is still no fun," Carrot Top argued.
"Silence. I have the map, your argument is invalid."
They walked on, out of Ponyville, and Rose could not help but notice Lily and Daisy smirking as they saw her with Carrot Top.
"Your travelling with that pony? She's worse than Pinkie!" they laughed.
"I happen to like Pinkie!" Roseluck protested, and she heard them laughing as they passed the gates, and Carrot Top looking back.
The feilds where vast, large and very green. There where trees in some parts, but not many. A straight, hilly road was ahead. They passed some farms, and some meadows full of flowers. It was very pretty. They walked on for a day, and it was fairly straightforward.
After the day, they had to camp in a cave for the middle of the day. It was cold, and wet, yet Carrot Top was cheering up the mood, like a bright light.
"And then, Applejack, me and Rainbow Dash all went to Rarity's Boutique and we flooded it with water. It was so fun! I don't even know how we managed to carry all those buckets of water with out magic," She told her stories, looking at the stars.
"You told me Pinkie was there to," Roseluck said, putting her hooves near the fireplace to warm them.
"Oh yeah! She started mumbling something about breaking the laws of physics and then the buckets appeared to float, regenerate water by themselves, and throw water in the boutique! She said she would show me how to do it after we come back!"
"Oh, well. Let the end of bad hairspray products sold by Rarity cometh!"
They both laughed, and continued looking at the starry night, until both of them fell asleep, in the cold, cave which was kind of wet. After a while it smelled to, but that was probably because it was a parasprite cave. The buzzing noise woke them up.
"What is that noise?" Rose shouted, holding her hooves at her ears.
"I have no idea, sounds kind of familiar though!" Carrot shouted, confused.
"Oh My Celestia! Parasprites!" Roseluck cried as she found on in her mane.
It was a round creature, with a blue body. It had wings, four legs and huge, green glistening eyes. It had a happy face, and seemed happy. It then burped out a identical copy, only red.
"There multiplying! What is the song, what is it!" Roseluck stomped her head, trying to remember it. Lyra played it on her harp, Pinkie played it all the time, Daisy and Lily complained about it.
"All aboard! All aboard!" Carrot Top shreiked.
"This is no time for pretending to be a train conductor!" Yet it hit her that was in the tune of Pinkie's Parasprite song.
"All Aboard! All aboard, the Rainbow Dash Express!"
She sang a song in the tune, about trains and Rainbow Dash breaking them, and two sad ponies who needed to go on to see nice, pretty, old music in a big city. It was surprisingly realistic to what had happened to them that day. Even to the former best-friends laughing at one of them.
After Carrot Top had finished, the Parasprites went down in a hole, and the last one pushed a rock, so that they could sleep in peace.
"That...was...amazing!" Rose shouted, but Carrot Top hushed her.
"The parasprites are sleeping, learn some manners," she said, stroking the rock.
Roseluck grinned and rolled her eyes. "We better get on the road, we don't want to interrupt them."
"Great idea! Carrot Top shouted at the top of her lungs, walking out.
