“You will be. I made this one just for you before you got here.

“So, is this like taste testing or something?”

“Sorta,” Pinkie said.

Dash shrugged and took a bite at the cupcake. After a few more bites, she gulped down the cupcake happily.

“Ok, now what?” Dash questioned.

“Now,” Pinkie informed her...

"...We bake cupcakes!"

"Sweet," Rainbow Dash asked with an optimistic smile. Maybe Dash wouldn't screw everything up too much.

"No kidding!" Pinkie joked as they walked into the kitchen. Light poured through from the windows inside, illuminating the room brightly. The had practically been sparkling. How does that pony clean so fast?

"Can you bring me the bag of flour?" asked the earth pony, digging through a cupboard.

Rainbow nodded and threw open the large cupboard. Fortunately, the bag of flour sat on the top shelf. Rainbow Dash flew silent up and grabbed the flour. Pinkie had now brought out the glass bowl and a whisk.

Dash set the flour next to the bowl. "Pinkie, what other ingredients are there?"

"Can you grab me the sugar and vanilla extract." Pinkie swiftly cracked a second egg into the bowl. "This is gonna be the best batch ever, in all of Equestria!"

The cyan pony rolled eyes, grinning, and searched through the cupboards, finding the ingredients. Finally in no more then ten minutes, they now had a bowl of ingredients. Dash had to admit, it wasn't as exciting or awesome as she was used to, but she was having a great time cooking. Good thing she had help too, because she could even make a decent sandwich by herself.

"Want me to get the whisk?" asked Rainbow with a raise of the eyes.

"Okie dokie!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed with great happiness. She mentally pat herself on the back for making an very athletic-centered pony interested in cooking. It was practically a break through for Pinkie. Rarity would absolutely get a kick out of Rainbow cooking. Just as she did when she tried wearing socks. Tacky and unoriginal, she had said.

Rainbow Dash had once cooked spaghetti for her friends, insisting she wanted to impress them with her "awesome cooking" after a bet with Twilight. Let's just say that the noodles ended up on the floor and boiling water on Dash's hoof. Ended up in the infirmary and got it wrapped up. They ended up just fruits and some juice, which Fluttershy had suggested

Dash had whipped out the whisk and tossed it too Pinkie. She gave a little giggle and began to whisk the ingredients.

Pinkie had quickened her pace and now a few drop flew out onto Pinkie's hair. It began to get in Rainbow's hair, too.

"Uh, Pinkie?" Pinkie hadn't listened and only mixed faster. "Pinkie!" Now, more and more mix flew out. Pinkie finally stopped the, now, completely whisked mix. Pinkie had looked over at Rainbow Dash and let out a squeak of a giggle and covered her mouth, cutting it short. Pinkie couldn't help it.

Rainbow's face was now covered with the mix. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Pinkie Pie. Dash guffawed at Pinkie's hair, which had splotches of mix in it. Pinkie looked up into her hair and giggled. She had attempted to rub out the mix from her hair, but had only slicked it back, which resulted in Rainbow Dash laughing harder, while Pinkie join into the laughter.

The both of them had moved to the sink and washed out the cupcake mix. In unison, they both shook their hair dry. While Dash's hair went back to it's original state and Pinkie Pie's hair popped back up, curly and all.

Pinkie pulled out the pan for the cupcakes while Rainbow Dash looked for the cupcake liners.

They finally got the mix in the pan and plopped it into the oven. They stood at the sink, washing up, bubbles covering every inch of their hooves.

"What now?" asked Rainbow Dash impatiently, drying her hooves with a towel. "We wait?"

"Yep, yep, yep!" Pinkie exclaimed, catching the towel, and drying her hooves. "Then we add frosting!"

"Yum," Dash said. "Is it okay that I take a quick flight, Pinkie? Won't be long."

"Ooh! Ooh! Ohh! Can I come?" asked the pink pony.

Rainbow Dash bit her lip. Pinkie coming for a flight? With her? She wasn't sure, but Pinkie did cook with her. And she had so much fun. Why not? That question came to mind a bit too much, she had thought, but thought she deserved a fly in the sky.

"Sure," she said with a grin. "Hop on."

"Hop on..." Pinkie hesitated. She sat on her back and laughed nervously as she wrapped her forelegs around her neck. "Let's do this!"

Dash started of slow, but in no time they were up in the sky, looking down at Ponyville.

"For a pony who eats a lot of sweets," Rainbow informed her. "You're pretty light."

"Heh, thanks," Pinkie said uneasily. The feel of her arms around her neck and the feel of Rainbow's mane. If Rainbow Dash hadn't been looking straight-forward, she would've definitely seen her blush. Pinkie mentally kicked herself as she felt the heat on her cheeks.

Pinkie had never seen Ponyville this high up, other than the slow moving hot-air balloon. Pinkie Pie wasn't much of a poet, but this was beautiful.

"Wow," the word had escaped her lips without knowing it.

"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said. "If only everypony could see the view."

Dash leaned to the left, now circling the town. A few pegasus looked puzzled, but looked away losing interest, having other paths to go. Ponies riding a pegasus didn't happen often. They looked down and saw the town's ponies. They covered the ground in all different colors. Pinkie spotted Fluttershy skipping along, with a bag full of fruits and vegetables. Pinkie Pie had made a note to tell Fluttershy how fun it was to fly.

"Getting pretty tired," Dash said, turning her head slightly, directing the statement to Pinkie.

"The cupcakes are probably ready," Pinkie said somberly, but added in a happy note, not wanting Dash to be worrying. "Frosting the cupcakes will be super-duper delicious!"
