_________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s just after closing time at the Golden Oaks Library and Twilight Sparkle (Resident Librarian and Princess of Equestria) was preparing dinner for her and her marefriend Spitfire. She walked out of the kitchen with a proud smile on her face and a snickering dragon in her shadow. The wonderbolt looked at her smiling marefriend and then to the snickering dragon wondering what could’ve been so funny. Twilight levitated the plates onto the table and sat down ready to eat. Spitfire looked at the plate, puzzled at what she saw.

“Uhhh Twilight. This is a potato.” Said Spitfire still puzzled at the potato

“Yeap, it’s our dinner. I made it myself.” Twilight replied showing obvious pride.

Spitfire looked at it again and gave it a little poke to determine the doneness of said potato. “Twilight this potato is raw.” She deadpanned

Twilight looked at Spitfire with confusion. “But I was told that it’s considered romantic to serve one’s special somepony a whole potato raw.” She said.

“Who told you that?” Spitfire asked.

At this point Spike couldn’t contain his laughter anymore and fell on the floor laughing like a hyena. Twilight gave Spike a look that could rival the Stare. Spike took this as his cue to flee upstairs where he can hide in his basket.

Twilight looked at the floor in shame and was about to start crying. Spitfire walked up to her marefriend and lifted her head to look into her eyes

“It’s ok hun. It was a pretty good prank that he pulled, so don’t be too hard on him.” Spitfire said in a soft voice. “I have an idea. Why don’t we go into the kitchen and i’ll show you what you’re supposed to do with raw potatoes.”

Spitfire gave Twilight a kiss on the cheek and this put a smile on Twilights face.

“Ok, that sounds good.” Twilight replied

When they got into the kitchen Twilight set the potatoes onto the cutting board so Spitfire can show her how to prepare the potatoes.

“Ok so we’re going to be preparing Mashed Potatoes.” Spitfire announced. Twilight sat on the floor and watched with awe has her heroic marefriend taught her how to make mashed potatoes

“First thing we do” Spitfire began “is peel the potatoes. Will my lovely assistant care to assist me.”

Twilight levitated two potato peelers from the top drawer and proceeded to peel the two potatoes. Meanwhile Spitfire filled a pot with cold water.

“Now we cut the potatoes into chunks and put them into the pot of water and wait til their tender.” Spitfire continued

Spitfire picked up a knife cut the potatoes into chunks and put them in the pot of water. She turned the fire on and turned to Twilight. “You see, it’s better to start with a pot of cold water and let it heat up with the potatoes in it because it allows the heat to penetrate the potatoes easier and cook faster.”

Twilight pulled a scroll and quill out of another drawer and wrote down that tidbit of information for later. “Makes sense.” She said to herself.

Spitfire used a fork to check the doneness of the potatoes. Once she confirmed that they were done she poured the pot into a colander in the sink. She placed the potatoes into a bowl and set it on the counter.

“Now is the time to add in the ingredients to flavor the potatoes.” Spitfire said “Personally I prefer cheddar cheese and garlic but i’m open to suggestions.”

“That sounds good.” Twilight replied.

Spitfire pulled out the potato masher and began mashing the potatoes in the bowl. Then she added a cup of shredded cheese, white pepper, salt and garlic. She mixed up the potatoes and put them in a bowl for herself and her marefriend.

“And thats how you make mashed potatoes.” Spitfire announced.

They walked out into the dining room and enjoyed their dinner and each others company.
