- >*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
- "Alright alright, hold on, I'm coming!"
- >You drop the wooden utensil in your mouth and leave your pot to stop the oven timer.
- >Just as you turn off the timer, you hear a loud explosion coming from the pot you just left on the range.
- >You turn around just in time to see the aftermath of a sauce explosion, spanning across the entire countertop.
- >You throw your hooves up in exasperation.
- "Sweet Celestia, gimme a break, would ya?"
- >You are the "best" chef in Equstria, Rainbow Dash.
- >Today is the 11 month anniversary of your and Anon's first date.
- >Every month, the two of you stay at home for the night, and Anon cooks a huge meal.
- >He's a great cook, and he knows all of your favorite foods, so he usually ends up cooking everything.
- >Ok fine, he ALWAYS cooks the dinner.
- >And cleans up afterwards.
- >Not this month though!
- >You got Fleetfoot to cover your shift for todays usual cloud clearing over Ponyville, so you've been home for about an hour.
- >While Anon was at work, you thought you'd surprise him by cooking tonight's dinner for a change.
- >The look on his face when he finds out I'm even better at cooking then he is will be priceless!
- >However, you forgot one tiny issue.
- >You have no idea how to cook anything outside of a sandwich or a protein shake.
- >Remembering the food, you reach into the oven and pull out a very burnt chicken breast, served with a side of char.
- >After you turn off the oven, you turn your attention to the sauce massacre on your counter.
- "How the buck does Anon do this? He makes it look so easy!"
- >You pull the pot of sauce off the range quickly to prevent more mess.
- >The pot of pasta right next to it is long past the point of boiling, and looks close to boiling over.
- "That means it's done, right?"
- >You remove it from the pot from the burner, but forget to put on your oven mitts, and burn your hoof on the hot metal.
- "OWW!"
- >In your pain, you drop the pot of water on the floor, causing it to splash everywhere.
- >You internally facepalm as you get some ice from the freezer for your hoof.
- "Come on Rainbow, you can do this. Anon can do it, and you're wayyy more awesome then he is!"
- >Out of pure habit, you follow up with:
- "No offence Anon."
- >As you pick up the pot from the floor (with mitts on this time), you glance up at the clock on the wall.
- >It reads 5:20 on the nose.
- "Ah buck, Anon's going to be home soon! I can't let him see this mess, or I'll never hear the end of it!"
- >You rush to the closet and grab the mop to clean up the water mess on the floor.
- >You scramble into the dining room to finish plateing dinner before moving onto the mess in the kitchen.
- >Just as you finish hiding the dirty towels, you can hear the front door swing open.
- >"Dashie, I'm home! You ready for some of my world famous cooki-"
- ..........
- >You are Anon.
- >You just got home from a long day at work, and are ready to start cooking dinner.
- >But it looks like diner's already done and the table's already set.
- >What the hell?
- >As if on cue, your favorite mare rounds the corner from the kitchen into the dining room.
- >"Surprise!"
- "Wow Dash,.... What's all this?"
- >She motions to the food on the table.
- >"I got home early, so I went ahead and made dinner! I hope you're hungry, because you're gonna want a lot of this."
- >After taking off your shoes, you pull out a chair and sit down at the table.
- "Oh, is that so?"
- >"You bet! I made it myself, so its gonna be awesome, right? Just try not to feel bad knowing I'm the better chef."
- >She flashes you a smug smile as she takes her seat across from you.
- >You look down at the food infront of you.
- >Everything on this plate looks like it just went ten rounds with a flamethrower.
- >You didn't even know it was possible to burn pasta.
- >You look up from your plate to see Dash staring at you expectantly.
- >Well, no backing out now.
- >You place the forkful in your mouth and chew.
- >You're pretty sure that this kind of food is what they serve to violent prisoners.
- >Everything is horribly burnt, and the chicken is as dry as Marco Rubios mouth.
- >As you swallow you first bite with a loud gulp, Dash is still staring at you intensely.
- >"Well? How was it? Pretty great, huh?"
- >As "non-positive" your actual feelings are, you could never even imagine saying anything to hurt Rainbows feelings.
- "Damn, this is delicious Dash. Who know how great of a cook you were?"
- >You eat another mouthful, backing up your statement.
- >Dash beams at your complement, her entire face lighting up and splitting with a huge smile.
- >She grabs a mouthful of the food on her fork.
- >"Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Im awesome at everything else, so why not cooking?"
- >You chuckle at her boastfulness as she puts the food in her mouth.
- >After holding it in her mouth for a while, she instantly spits it back out on her plate, and her entire face shrivels up.
- >Doing your best to stifle a giggle, you down another mouthful.
- "What's wrong Dash?"
- >Not wanting to admit her minimal culinary skills, she quickly makes something up.
- >"N-nothing, I'm just..... Not in the mood for chicken! Yea, that's it."
- >You put your fork back down on the plate and smile at her.
- "Well, do you want me to cook you something else then?"
- >"You could do that, or..... We could order a pizza."
- >She has an almost pleading smile on her face, which is way to cute to resist.
- "Alright, but I expect to be repayed in full with cuddles."
- >The usual pinkish hue creeps its way back onto her face and she crosses her forelegs.
- >"Fine, deal. But I get to pick the toppings!"
- >Dash stands from the table and starts clearing it while you contact the pizza place.
- >Just as you go to place your order, you're caught off guard by a hug.
- >You look down to see Rainbow around your chest, looking up at you with two adorable eyes.
- >"Thanks for not making fun of the food Nonny. I guess I'm not a very good chef, huh?"
- >You return the warm embrace, wrapping your long arms around her, holding her tight.
- "If you made it Dash, then I think it was great, no matter what."
- >She nuzzles your chest slightly with her chin.
- >"Happy 11th anniversary Anon, I love you."
- "Happy 11th Dash, I love you too."
- >Almost instantaneously, she puts back on her usual attitude after breaking the embrace.
- >"You know, I think I might just stick around for another month."
- "Is that right?"
- >She gives you a light tap on the shoulder.
- >"Well yea, so long as I'm getting free pizza out of it."
