19 Cooking

Phoenix's point of view
Griffin kingdom guest room

"Whelp," I said, clapping my hands together and turning to the rest of the group. "Time to explore."

We found four bedrooms -one being a master bedroom- in the apartment, along with three toilets, multiple walk-in closets, a kitchen, and a hot tub on the overly sized balcony. In short, we were in paradise.

"So," I began, once we had all met back up in the main room. "Who's sleep in the master bedroom?" The men looked at each other, sparkles in their eyes, slowly adjusting there feet. And suddenly they were off.

Snipe and Spike were the closest to the room, but Spike tripped up the griffin to give him an edge. However, Snipe retaliated by pulling Spike down to the ground with him. Shining then jumped over the two, but was cut short by a large gust of wind blowing him back. I turned to see Thunderlane with a smirk on his face. The lieutenant began his way to the room in a light triumphant jog, but was promptly stopped by a tug to the leg. He turned down to see Spike and Snipe had finished wrestling and the dragon had grabbed a hold of him. This gave Crusty the opportunity to make a bee line for the bedroom.

Everyone's faces turned to ones of shock as the old captain ran. Spike and Snipe were too far away (and on the floor) to stop him, Thunderlane was trying to release Spikes grip on him, and Shining was still attempting to escape his prison of wind. Meanwhile I stood still, watching as the events played out.

Deciding to ruin my friendship will Crusty, I sprinted into the room after grabbing my luggage off the ground, but to everyone else it looked like I straight up just teleported. Once there, I quickly unzipped my suitcase and began unloading it into the nearest dresser, as if I had been there the entire time. Crusty soon bounded in with a large smirk on his face. One that instantly fell upon seeing me.

"Phoenix you bastard!" Crusty shouted in annoyance, but with a wide grin on his face.

"God speed my friend." We both chuckled to ourselves before the rest walked in.

They all looked surprised for a moment, before sighing. "Shoulda seen that coming." Snipe noted, turning out of the room in defeat along with Spike.

"Toodals!" I waved goodbye to add insult to injury. The other three left soon after, but I gave a Crusty a quick heads up. "Gimme a sec to unpack and I'll whip us up something to eat, sound good?"

"Works for me," He placed a hand on his stomach and rubbed. "I'm starving." He turned around to leave as he spoke. "I'll go tell the others, and your cooking better be good!" He had already left the room as he finished, so I just smiled and got to unpacking.

"Feels like the good old days...."

Once I had finished unpacking I made my way to the kitchen, where I found Shining lounging on a sofa with his head on the end facing me. He tilted his head so that he was looking at me upside down; he was holding an ice pack to his forehead. "Oh hey Phoenix."

"Headache?"

"Yeah, after getting used to swaying around on the air ship, my body feels weird stood on solid ground." He sighed. "Anyways, Crusty said something about you cooking?"

"Indeed," I confirmed, walking behind the counter and opening the fridge. "What we feeling today? Looks like was got a variety of veg, and a bit of corn meat." I continued to rummage through, though I decided against mentioning the turkey in the freezer.

"Anything's good, soldiers can't be picky!"

"How about..... Roquefort and caramelized Onion Tart?" I asked, before pulling out some potatoes. "I could also make some fries and a salad to go with it."

"What's a, rockfour?" He asked, getting off the sofa and making his way towards the other side of the counter.

"Roquefort, Shining, it's a type of blue cheese. There seems to be quite the some in here." I opened the fridge further so he could see, he squinted his eyes.

"Are you sure that's not just mouldy cheese?"

Chuckling to myself, I waved off his question and began preparing the counter top. "This shouldn't take long, could you set up the table?"

A while little later

We were all sat together, our food dotted around the the large rectangular table. I had prepared two bowls of chips, one spicy one not, two bowls of salad, and three large tarts; each of the tarts had a different variation of herbs. "Bon apatite!" We all dug in, before everyone began dishing out their compliments to the chef. All in all I think I did well, and it was a wonderful meal.

Twilight's point of view
Griffin kingdom guest room

We were all sat around in Pinkie's room, except Rainbow who was still unpacking the many weights that she felt the need to bring along. Pinkie had the master room because she had won the race there; I still have no idea how she managed to outrun RD. "So uhhh, anyone here know how to cook?" I asked, worried that we were going to have to rely on Pinkies baking abilities.

"Nope."
"Nu uh."
"Not me."

"Applejack? You cook a lot, right?" I asked, a glimmer of hope in my eye.

"Uhhh, sorry Twi, but if it ain't got nothing to do with apples, then I can't help yer there." She finished with a weak chuckle, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Cadence? You used to cook for Spike when you babysat him, surely you remember something." I practically pleaded, my hope quickly fading.

The princess slightly blushed at my question, and started looking everywhere but at me. "Yeah....... I kinda just uhhh, bought premade meals and heated them up I your microwave.... hehe."

"So....... none of us can cook?" They all shook there heads. "Seriously?! At least one of us should be able to!"

"I'm afraid not Darling." Rarity began. "Sweetie Belle usually does the cooking around the house, Fluttershy likes that one café down her road, Granny cooks for AJ, Cadence has her butlers, poor Blossom has army rations, you have Spike, and Pinkie.... well, she's Pinkie." The pink haired ball of energy beamed at Rarity's remark. "I'm afraid none of us have ever had the need to learn how to cook." She looked down slightly ashamed.

"Well that changes today!" I got up from my position on the bed, and stood up on it as I spoke. "Today, we shall overcome this challenge! With our hard work and combined knowledge, we shall make ourselves a meal! And show everyone how independent we can be as woman! Who's with me?!"

"Yeah!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
"Yeah!!!"

All the girls were now stood up, and pumped to get started. "Now to the kitchen!" We all left the room and made our way down the corridor with determined grins on our faces. We were going to prove to the world how reliable us girls could be!

However, we entered the kitchen to see something that shocked us all. "Hey guys! Found some noodles in a cabinet so I decided to whip us up something to eat!" Rainbow was stood at the oven, apron on and dreidel in hand. She was slowly mixing something in a metal pot over the stove that was emitting the most heavenly aroma. "Guys? You okay?"

All of us simply stared at RD, stunned, with our mouths open wide. Shortly after, Pinkie bounded to the floor in a bow.

"Our saviour!!"
