Breakfast With Friends

Sugar Cube Corner.  The best bakery in town is now serving breakfast (limited time only).

“Awe, you mean they’re only doing this for a little while?”  Whined Spike.

“That’s what the sign says.”  Twilight confirmed.

“Good thing we’re doing this now.  If we had waited any longer then we might’ve missed this glorious opportunity.  I can’t wait to sink my teeth into those sweet, moist, buttermilk pancakes.”  Spike’s eyes lit up and he began to drool.

“Spike, stop that!  You’re getting drool on me, and it’s gross.” Scolded Twilight.

“Sorry Twilight.  I can’t help it.  It’s just that they’re so good!”

“Well, try to control yourself.  We don’t even know what they’re serving.”

“Only one way to find out.  CHARGE!”  Spike jumped off of Twilights back and ran through the open door.  Twilight giggled and walked in after him.  A wall of delicious smells struck Twilight’s nose as she walked into the room.  Ponies from all over Ponyville were seated at tables and booths eating various breakfast foods.  Twilight caught up with Spike who was standing by the counter.  Mrs. Cake trotted up to them.  Her apron was smudged with flower, eggs, and a plethora of other things.  

“Oh, hello Twilight!  Hello Spike!  You two here for breakfast?”

“Why yes we are.  How long have you and Mr. Cake been serving breakfast?”  Twilight asked.

“Oh, not for very long.  This is just a trial.  We wanted to see if adding a breakfast buffet would be good for business, and if things keep going like today then we just might make it permanent.”   Exclaimed Mrs. Cake.  

“That would be awesome!”  Spike was getting a little excited.  He was looking around at all the ponies eating and began to drool again.  

“What can I get for you two today?”  Asked Mrs. Cake.

“I’d like some buttermilk pancakes, please.”  Replied Twilight.

“Make that two.”  Spike added.

“All righty then.  You can take a seat anywhere.  You’re pancakes will be out shortly.”  Said Mrs. Cake as she walked into the kitchen.  

As Mrs. Cake left, Twilight and Spike heard somepony calling out to them.  They looked around the room, trying to find the source of the voice.  Finally they noticed Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash sitting in a booth in the far corner of the room.  Twilight and Spike sat down with them.

“Hey guys, have you eaten yet?”  Asked Twilight as she sat down next to Rarity.  

“Not yet.  We all just got here.  What’r y’all doin’ round here?”  Replied Applejack.

“We’re here for the pancakes.” Said Spike.

“I hear these pancakes are to die for.  I gonna get a huge stack of em’.”  Proclaimed Rainbow Dash.  

“Wanna see who can eat ‘em the fastest”  Spike asked her.

“Challenge accepted.”  Said Rainbow Dash.

“Come now, you two.  Show some manners.  Not only will you make yourselves sick, you’ll also make complete fools of yourselves.”  Rarity Stated.  She glanced at Twilight who nodded in agreement.  “Twilight, you look positively exhausted.”  She exclaimed.

“Who me?”  Twilight responded.

“Of course.  Did you get enough sleep last night?”

“I’m fine.  I just had a strange dream, that’s all.”

“What was yer dream about?”  Asked Applejack.

Twilight told her friends of her strange dream and how it left her totally confused.  Her friends looked a little confused themselves.  

“That is one strange dream.”  Said Applejack.  “Ah don’t think Ah’ve ever heard of the weird monkey thingies.  What do you think RD?”

“I don’t know.  It might just be something you ate.”  Replied Rainbow Dash.

“That’s what I said.”  Announced Spike.

“Well, anyway.  It’s alright now.  I’m going to ask the princess about it later.  What are your plans for today?”  Inquired Twilight.

“Well, I have an order to fill with a client out in Canterlot.  She has ordered six dresses for her six daughters for a party of some sort, and she needs them by the end of the week.”  Rarity responded.

“Sounds like a big order.  Think you can manage?”  Asked Twilight.  

“I’ve had bigger orders.  I can usually make two dresses in a day so this shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.”  Replied Rarity.

“Ah’ve got ta go fertilize the west and south fields today.”  Added Applejack.

“And I’m gonna be napping.” Rainbow Dash boasted.

“Sounds like everypony’s got their hooves full today.”  Said Twilight.

A few minutes later, breakfast was served.  Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight engaged in idle conversation while Spike and Rainbow Dash commenced their contest only to have Spike almost choke on a piece of pancake.
