“Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!” the mare introduced herself.

“Hi, Pinkie Pie, I'm Hitomi!” I responded.

“Hitomi, what do you want to do now?” Pinkie Pie enquired.

“How about baking? I know you liked to bake where you live. Besides, I have all the ingredients, and feel like having a Muffin or two!” I responded.

“Baking, that sounds like fun. If you have the ingredients, why not get started?” she responded.

“My kitchen is this way!” I pointed out as I lead her to where I had intended for her to help me baking the pastries.

“Okeley dokeley!” she giggled as she bounced after me, she seems to be just as hyper in her more human form.

I opened the door leading her into the kitchen. Pointing out where everything was stored, before she came around. I even demonstrated the book where I had all the recipes in print, ready for her to read, since I assumed she is capable of reading standard English.

If she couldn't read, or if it is English she couldn't grasp enough, I would basically find her useless in her current form. If I could teach her to read, I could still enjoy her. This is the one instance where she needs reading. I wanted her to bake on her own, not for me to explain everything for her every time.

If she could learn, I could teach her to read, to write and to bake and cook for me. If she could already read, I could explain what I wanted, and she would prepare it for me, simple as that. Then I just need to buy all the ingredients, since I can't take her with me outdoors. At least, for as long as she is dependant of the emitter. After that, it is merely my comfort that is in jeopardy.

“Muffins!” Pinkie Pie said, as she opened the book, flipped pages for the list of pastries.

“Yes, Lemon and Cinnamon Muffins would be just right for the day!” I responded.

“Muffins, lemon and cinnamon. There they are!” she then continued, flipping to the page she was looking for.

“I'll pick the ingredients!” I told her as she read the book.

Author's Note

I'm not going to write a manual on baking, with our without Pinkie Pie featured as a baker.

Not that I think anyone is overly interested in reading how to make Muffins either.
