World Escaper

Chapter 5; Chef eh?

Only living in Ponyville for a week now, shifting places to sleep, meeting new people, fixing up the whole mob mess, and finding many ponys to be obsessed with me. Twilight, Fluttershy, and a mint-colored Unicorn named Lyra. Twilight wanted information about me, from my anatomy, to my life-style, to my history, and so forth. Fluttershy was just as curious, yet treated me as if I were one of her animals, which she treated like babies. Lyra was curious and fascinated by everything I did, from holding a cup with my two fingers, to how I write.

Curiosity didn't stop some people, or ponys in this case, to see my sheer endurance and physical-self. Rainbow Dash brags of her speed, I on the other hand, run a longer time than her running, I had done several marathons, including the 2013 Boston marathon bombing. Applejack wanted to see if I were fit to help out her family apple farm. I could easily climb a tree and chuck the apples farther than Applejack could buck, but she shook me right out of a tree landing a faceplant on me.

Not to forget my tastes, Rarity was curious on how she would ever make a dress for me, poor pony worried sick, as if she would be jailed if she couldn't make a suit for me. Even if I tried leaving she'd shut the door in my face, even when sneaking out. Her cat, Opal, found an interest into me, and will easily cuddle with me, Rarity found it annoying as I see it cute. Pinkie Pie was the type finding a prank or surprise to get me, I blankly took each joke, I've always had a stone face people say bout me.

Tonight, I go to Twilight's to sleep the night, as I was jumping house after house. She decided to have a talk with me about it after I got settled in. "I understand why you're jumping between houses, but you should consider buying a house yet?"

I thought for a little, and finally said "I have thought of that, but I might just make a house instead, right where it was before. The pit will serve as my basement as I'll square it out. I am an inventor after all, and I haven't gotten to a career here in Ponyville, so why not continue as my old position?" I think its foolproof.

"Build a House by yourself?! Hah! Tell me when it's done, that'll take awhile." Spike went and harrassed on.

Barking back "Not when you consent to your work, taking pride in it. But as I was saying, I've already started collecting parts I need, I got blueprints at the ready, all I gotta do is cut some trees from probably the Everfree forest." I said.

Twilight on the other hand thought of it better, "I think we can get our friends to help too!"

"True, Fluttershy can move the wildlife. Applejack and Pinkie Pie could cut the tree down. Rainbow Dash could cut the branches and leaves out. Spike could burn the bark to crack it for peeling, and Twilight you could remove the bark. Rarity could help put a finish coat and polish on the wood as I set it up for my house. We could make it by a day's end if we're quick and diligent." I added.

"Seems like a great plan! Tomorrow, we'll inform them about it. Now its late and we'd best get Spike tucked in before he drifts off on the latter again." She said while walking up the stairs with Spike. "If you hadn't made such a mess that day..."

They went on about that as I followed them shortly after a strange feeling occurred... Something I've never felt.

In concern, I asked "Twilight! Did you feel anything strange for a second there?" "No? Why?" She responded.

I never felt anything like it, and it passed quite quickly, "Guess I'm just tired myself then..."

I fell asleep rather faster than usual that night. I had a very lucid dream, I was walking through Ponyville, though I was slowly transforming from a Human to a Pony. Freaky as it was everybody didn't seem to notice any change at all. I went to the sight of my house, only to see my newly found friends as humans. Things got swept away and things turn white. From that point on, the blue pony again appeared, similar appearances to Celestia, I spoke out first, "Who are you? You look awfully similar to Celestia.".

Nodding, she said; "I am Princess Luna, youthful Sister of Celestia. I visit dreams of those who are troubled, I can see that you are worried about the appearance of you compared to your friends."

I thought about it, an agreed saying; "Yah, now that you said so, it makes sense. Just it seemed real."

"Dreams are visions we have seen or created within our heads, some are lucid where it tells you something as you have control to find the message. Vivid Dreams are a flight through a message through riddles. And others are simple dreams of past experiences. At times it'll be a sign of the near future." Luna stated in her strong accent, a little harder to understand, but thats just me.

I tried not to be rude, I held my manners out "Thanks for the advise Luna, hope to speak with you in person soon."

"We have been arranging a meeting for your arrival, we will send word as soon as we schedule it." She had concluded on that note. "Alright cool, cya soon." I said, thinking more about this meeting with royalty rather than manners now.

"I bid you farewell, foreign one." Luna concluded.

Things began to fade black, and I had awoken. The sun just below the horizon. Spike and Twilight were still asleep, so I figured I'd make a breakfest for them. I waddled down the stairs still fogged with tiredness, normal morning head. Opening the cabinet, I found a few Eggs, flour, measuring cup, and bread. I took a couple eggs, started up the open-flame pan-grill and started making scrambled eggs. With the remaining eggs, I made pancakes with the flour and water.

Just as I was finishing up, Twilight and Spike wandered down, my pancakes were best in the family. Not flaky, about 3/4 cm thick and golden-browned crust topped with a butter square. To go was scrambled eggs and another breakfest secret for toast. Twilight wandering in as I was about to serve up. "Why up so early cooking breakfest? It smell good too!" Twilight said while still half asleep.

"Twilight, don't eat them all, I'm hungry too." Spike said, sounding just as tired as Twilight. "Theres plenty Spike, I was talking with Luna after having a wierd dream." I said.

I set the plates down as me and Twilight conversed. "Oh boy!" Spike said as he began to chow-down his share of breakfest.

"What was it about?" Twilight asked as she began to eat more mannerly than Spike.

I began telling my tale to Twilight; "I was just minding my own business in Ponyville, walking as I slowly transformed into a pony, odd thing is, I went towards my house site to find ya'll as humans." We all took a few bites out of breakfest as Spike continued eating out of control.

"I'd say weird indeed." Twilight said agreement.

Spike swallowed his food "Say Mike, where'd you learn to cook like this?! Its the best pancake I've ever had!" He asked as he began to eat once more. "This is good, were you a chef too?" Twilight added to the compliment.

"If I were, Its a thing I'm just good at, I made best in the family, I have my inventing of food too!" I said truthfully as we finished up.

"I'd guess so, Thanks for the Breakfest." Twilight concluded. "Can I get more Please???" Spike begged with what I guess is a sympathetic face.

"I could use a chicken farm and wheat farm then, mind provision Spike?" I asked in a joking tone, soon we began laughing altogether.

We cleaned up and got ready to go. I checked myself over for any Pony features none at all, still human. "Ready to go?" Twilight hallored.

"Yah, just a little frightened about that dream so I'm keeping my procautions just incase." I paused as I walked towards the front door. "You go get Applejack and Rarity, look for Rainbow Dash, I'll get Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, and look for Dash as well. We'll meet at noon at the build site." I finished.

"Sounds like a plan." Twilight said.

"Meet at the site just a wink before noon." I finished, she nodded in agreement and began walking off. I began my way as well.

Going off towards Sugar Cube Corner, I look for signs of being a pony, and Rainbow Dash. No sign of anything, I walk into the candy house to be greet Mrs. Cake." Welcome Mike, what can get you today?"

"Hey there Mrs. Cake I'm looking for Pinkie Pie, do know where she is?" I asked.

Looking kind of nervous she responded, "No not since earlier this morning. Why do you ask?"

"Alright, if you do see her, tell her to go my old basement, that ok with you? I'm invite the gang over for a little job." I said, not bothering with her worriedness.

I began to walk out when, with a nervous tone and slightly sweating, Mrs. Cake said "We could actually use your help, are you any good at cooking?"

Curious to what she meant, "Eh, I'd guess so after th-"

"Splendid! We have to make a cake by the top of the hour, Good luck!" She interrupted while pushing me into the kitchen.

The kitchen with lots of ingredients all over the counters, and a book opened to a cake recipe. I walked over to the book, and thought to myself, there should be less egg, less sugar, more flour and milk. With out much of a choice, I begun getting ready, keeping the design and icing. I preheated the oven while mixing the ingredients together, but in the same pace I used for my Pancakes. I got putting the cake in, I pulled a chair, sat and watched it bake. Once it was good, I turned the oven out, pull the cake out, and got to icing. I finished as the Cakes walked in. Mrs.Cake began; "Its wonderful Mike, thank you, we would of never made this order without you!"

Just barely noticing them, I began to walk towards them "I changed up the recipe a little, I made little test cakes for ya'll to try." Showing them a pan with two miniature cakes. I watched them taste it, that seemed surprised, it seemed to put a punch across the face to them.

Mr.Cake then began to speak his face; "Mike, Where did you ever learn to cook? That was delicious!"

"Family thing, this is the second time somebody complemented on my cooking and asked that same question." I responded taking pride in with the compliment.

"Well they should be asking, that was the greatest piece of cake I've ever tasted!" Mrs.Cake furthered added.

Remembering the task of the day, I broke the news to them, "Well sorry to be creeping out so early, I gotta go. If I'm getting paid, leave on my paycheck."

I left and and checked my body over frantically, still good. I looked around the sky for Rainbow Dash once more, still no sign. So I started off to Fluttershy's Cottage. No sign of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie, where they may be, I'm not certain. How Twilight and Spike maybe doing, not a clue.
