I think we'd better eat out (Edited)

The full moon shone on Equestria. In the sky were several stars, formed constellations. Twilight Sparkle was decorating the Golden Oka’s Tree Library for the holiday, she was gracing the tree with embellishments. Twilight sang the same song that she and her friends sang at the end of a play that took place at Hearth’s Warming Eve last year. When Twilight was done, the unicorn watched the mounted tree, until she heard a knock on the door. Twilight approached the door. “I’m going. I’m going.”

Twilight Sparkle opened the door and she smiled when saw Luna. “Hi, Luna. What are you doing here?”

“Hi Twilight. I intend to spend the Hearth’s Warming Eve with you,” Luna replied. “You wouldn’t mind, right?”

Twilight Sparkle was surprised, but then smiled. “Of course not, Luna. You may come in.”

Luna entered the house while Twilight closed the door with her magic. Luna saw the tree and smiled. “I see you already decorated the tree.”

Twilight Sparkle approached Luna. “Yes, Luna. I just didn’t expect you to spend Hearth’s Warming Eve with me.”

“Love, did you really think I won’t spend this special night with the mare I love the most?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle smiled nervously as she blushed. “Hm… maybe…?”

“Love, we are marefriends,” said Luna. “I can’t let you celebrate alone tonight without me.”

Twilight Sparkle looked to the side. “Thank you, Luna.”

“And now, Twilight?” asked Luna. “What will we do?”

“I’ll let Spike know that you’re here,” answered Twilight, before shouting. “Spike! Could you come here?”

But Spike didn’t come.

“Spike!”

No one said anything. Twilight Sparkle was already starting to get impatient.

“Spike! If this is your game, I’m not enjoying it.”

But Spike didn’t answer. Twilight Sparkle was annoyed.

“Spike! Show up right now!”

Luna hugged Twilight with a wing. “Love, calm down. We’ll find him.”

Twilight Sparkle stopped being annoyed and looked at Luna in surprise. “Will you help me, Luna?”

“Of course, Twilight,” replied Luna with a smile.

“Wow. Thank you, Luna,” Twilight smiled. “I thought I had to turn around on my own.”

“Love, we are marefriend,” said Luna. “As a couple, we help each other.”

Twilight Sparkle blushed at the word “couple” before getting confused. “Wait, couple? But Luna, we’re just dating. We’re not married yet.”

“But I see us as a couple,” said Luna, before kissing Twilight Sparkle’s cheek. Twilight blushed.

“Well, I’ll start searching for Spike,” Luna stood upstairs to start searching.

Twilight was still paralyzed by the kiss she received. She touched the kiss spot before climbing the stairs to see if Spike was upstairs. “Spike. Spike! Are you here?”

But Spike didn’t answer Twilight. She was beginning to think that Spike wasn’t home. Twilight looked around and saw no sign of the dragon. She decided to climb the stairs that led up to her bedroom. The unicorn expected Spike to be in the room, but he wasn’t. Suddenly, she heard a scream.

“Love! I found something in the kitchen!”

Twilight Sparkle descended the stairs with more carefully until she reached the kitchen. “Luna, what happened?”

Luna looked at Twilight. “I found this message on the kitchen table.”

“Can I read, Luna?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Of course, love.” Luna handed the paper to Twilight. Twilight picked up the paper before she started reading.

“Dear Twilight, if you are reading this, I want to inform you that I will not return tonight. I’ll be spending tonight with Rarity at Carousel Boutique and won’t be back until tomorrow. I know you can’t cook, so I left the cookbook on the table next to the paper. I hope nothing bad happens to you while I’m gone. Signed Spike.”

When Twilight Sparkle finished reading her ears lowered, she panicked, released the paper and began to circle. “My Celestia! My Celestia!”

Luna was confused and took the paper with your magic. “Twilight, what happened?”

“Spike won’t be returning tonight, Luna,” replied Twilight. “And now? He makes the food for me! I never cooked in my life!”

Luna got nervous too. “And me then, love? I can’t cook either. Celestia is the one who makes the pancakes for her and me to eat.”

Twilight Sparkle stopped circling, but began to hyperventilate. “What if I burn my house as a result of cooking? What if I do something wrong in the kitchen?”

“Love, calm down,” Luna approached Twilight. “Let’s try it once or twice. I’m sure if we follow the steps of the book’s recipe, we will do something very tasty.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna more calmly. “I’m so sorry, Luna. But it’s because that I never cooked in my life.”

“No problem, love,” said Luna. “It’s the castle cooks who make lunch and dinner at the castle, not me and Celestia.”

Twilight Sparkle was surprised. “Really, Luna?”

Luna smiled. “Really, Twilight.”

“Now, should we start choosing what to prepare, love?” asked Luna.

“Yes, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle picked up the cookbook and went looking for food to eat at the Hearth’s Warming Eve. Luna stood by Twilight watching the food figures.

“Do you have any idea what we should eat, Twilight?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle stopped searching and looked at Luna. “No, Luna. I think it would be better if we do something quick and easy to do.”

“You’re right, love,” agreed Luna, because if they did something difficult like stroganoff, they would possibly set the oak house on fire.

“I found something that sounds easy, Luna,” said Twilight Sparkle.

Luna came out of her thoughts. “What food did you find, love?”

“Rice with nuts.”

Luna seemed to like the sound of that, she was drooling. “How do we do it?”

Twilight Sparkle started reading. “To make it takes two cups of rice, four cups of water, oil, onion, salt, half a cup of ground nuts, half a cup of seedless white raisins and a spoon of butter.”

Luna looked confused and understood nothing. “It’s a too much Ingredients, love. Are you sure this is the easiest recipe?”

“Well, Luna. This is the easiest recipe to make at the Hearth’s Warming Eve,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“Can’t we do something normal to eat, love?” asked Luna.

“But Luna, it’s Hearth’s Warming Eve,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“But can’t we vary and eat something normal, Twilight?”

“But who eats normal food on a holiday?”

Luna tried to agree to her marefriend’s terms. “You’re right, love. But what if we can’t do what we want?”

“So, I think we can do something normal that we eat every day,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Luna was happy with that. “Hazam!”

Twilight Sparkle smiled at the joy of her marefriend. She took the book from the table, climbed the stairs to the second floor, Luna followed her. Arriving on the second floor, Twilight placed the cookbook on the table and reread the recipe to review what ingredients were needed to make walnut rice.

Twilight looked at Luna. “Luna, could you bring the ingredients to me while I’m reading the recipe again?”

“Of course, love,” replied Luna.

Twilight Sparkle smiled before looking back at the book. “Two cups of rice.”

Luna went looking for two cups and found it in a cupboard and looked at Twilight. “Love, I found two cups, now what?”

Twilight looked at Luna. “Now put the rice in both cups.”

Luna looked back in the cupboard and found rice, she took the rice with her magic and put some rice in both cups. When she was done, Luna wondered if she was right because she didn’t put so much into the cups. But Luna decided to believe the amount was right.

“Love, I’ve already filled two cups,” replied Luna.

Twilight Sparkle smiled. “Great. Now put both cups on the table.”

Luna walked over to the table and set both cups on the table before looking at Twilight. “And now, love? What is the next?”

“Four cups of water.”

Luna went to the same spot and grabbed four cups and grabbed a bottle of water and half filled them. She didn’t know if that was the right amount of water, but she hoped so. “And now?”

“Oil,” read Twilight Sparkle.

Luna went looking for oil but didn’t know where she had it until she found it in the same cupboard that found the cups and set the cookbook on the table.

“What’s the next ingredient, love?” asked Luna.

“Onion.”

Luna went looking for onion in the closet and found several onions in a basket in the closet. She took an onion and placed it where the book was.

“And now?” asked Luna.

“Salt.”

Luna didn’t know why but it looked like all they needed was in the closet. She found the salt and set it on the table.

“And then?”

“Half a cup of ground nuts.”

Luna went again was where she had cups and took one that was white with a yellow sun design, then looked for nuts but when found, the nuts weren’t ground. But there was a problem: She didn’t know how to grind nuts. “Love.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Yes?”

“How should we grind nuts?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle panicked. “My Celestia! I don’t know either! I never did it in my life!”

“Don’t you think we should eat something normal, love?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle was no longer panicking. “No, Luna. We’ll eat something normal if we can’t cook something for this special night”

Twilight took the nuts and carried them to a blender and turned it on. The noise the blender made was very loud. Luna’s ears dropped and she decided to cover her ears with both front hooves. Her eyes were closed and her teeth chattered. While Twilight didn’t seem so bothered by the noise the blender made. But since Twilight didn’t hold the blender with a hull, the device began to move like crazy before the slap came out and the nuts flew to every corner.

Twilight Sparkle was startled by what she had done before realizing that the nuts were all scattered on the second floor of the house. “Oh no. Now we have to take all the nuts.”

Luna was beginning to think it would be impossible to make this food. But she helped Twilight get the nuts.

After a few minutes, Twilight and Luna retrieved the nuts and put them back in the blender. But this time, Twilight decided to hold the blender with a front hull.

After a minute, Twilight turned off the blender. “I think it’s good already.”

Twilight grabbed a small bowl, opened the blender, grabbed the nuts, set them on the floor and began crushing the nut shells with a front hoof.

Luna was confused. “Baby, what are you doing?”

Twilight Sparkle stopped what she was doing and looked at Luna. “I’m grinding the nut shells.”

“Are you sure that’s how you grind walnut shells, baby?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle said, “Yes, Luna. I’m sure.”

Luna decided to believe in the words of Twilight.

After finishing grinding the nut shells, Twilight tried to remove the shells with her magic, but couldn’t. After so much effort, she put the walnuts on the floor and started jumping on them, but after so much effort, she got tired. Her tongue was sticking out and she was sweating a little.

Luna went to Twilight Sparkle. “Love, are you sure you don’t want to make something easier for us to eat?”

“I’m sure, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle, no longer tired.

“Can I try, Twilight?” asked Luna.

“Yes, Luna. But it’s very hard,” replied Twilight Sparkle, handing over the nuts she was trying to get.

Luna took the nuts with her magic as she thought of a way to break them. Until she had an idea. Luna popped a large wooden hammer, put all the nuts on the floor, and started madly hitting it in hopes of breaking the shell. Twilight had to cover her ears because the sound was so loud.

After a few minutes of pounding the nuts, the shells broke. Luna was sweating a lot, but still holding the hammer with her magic. Luna looked at Twilight.

“I did it, love,” said Luna. “And now?”

Although Twilight Sparkle was surprised, she picked up the book to see the other ingredients. “Half a cup of seedless white raisins.”

Luna went looking for raisins, she saw a white fridge, opened it and saw a bowl of grapes. The grapes had seeds, but they weren’t passed. Luna was worried. Did leaving a raisin grape have to wet it? She never cooked in her life. Who always made the food was the castle cooks. She had to ask Twilight Sparkle.

“Love,” begin Luna.

Twilight Sparkle took her eyes off the book. “Yes?”

“How do you leave a raisin grape, Twilight?” asked Luna.

“There is no way to leave a grape raisin, Luna,” replied Twilight. “There is a type of grape that is passed.”

“So baby, I looked in the fridge and there was no grape, just normal,” said Luna.

“And now, Luna?” asked Twilight Sparkle. “What do we do? In the recipe doesn’t say normal grape.”

“Why don’t we buy this kind of grape, honey?” asked Luna.

“The stores should all be closed already, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Luna was sad about that. “Wow. And now?”

Twilight didn’t want to give up. She looked at the normal seedless grapes in front of her. Twilight started thinking about using these grapes.

Suddenly, an angel version of her appeared and said, “Twilight, don’t use these grapes in the recipe. In the recipe it says nothing about using normal grapes.”

Twilight Sparkle was about to agree, but a devilish version of her appeared and said, “Don’t listen to her, Twilight. Why follow a part if you can replace it?”

The good version of Twilight Sparkle spoke almost desperately. “Twilight, listen to me. If you don’t follow and replace just one ingredient it won’t go as you expect.”

The bad version of Twilight Sparkle fired a spell and made the good version disappear. “Forget what that angel says, Twilight. Listen to me and it will be very good. It will look better than raisin grapes.”

Twilight Sparkle decided to agree and looked at Luna. “Let’s use these grapes.”

Luna looked at Twilight confusedly. “What?”

“Let’s use these grapes, Luna,” repeated Twilight Sparkle.

“Are you sure, love?” asked Luna. “Won’t it spoil the recipe or the food?”

“But Luna, these are the only types of grapes we have in my house,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“I don’t know, love,” said Luna uncertainly and worried. “What if you get sick?”

“If I don’t like it, I’ll spit it out, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Don’t worry.”

Luna decided to trust the words of Twilight. “Ok, love. It’s just because I care about you.”

Twilight Sparkle picked up the book with her magic to see what the next ingredient was. “And finally, a spoonful of butter.”

Luna went to the fridge again looking for the butter. When she found it, she picked it up and set it on the table before she went looking for a spoon. Luna opened a drawer that had knives, forks and spoons. The alicorn took a spoon with her magic before going to Twilight Sparkle.

“I already found the spoon and the butter is on the table,” said Luna.

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “That’s good, Luna. Now we can start.”

“What’s the first step, Twilight?”

Twilight Sparkle looked back at the book to read how it was preparing. “Saute onion in oil, put rice in water and salt.”

Luna was confused. “Wait. I didn’t get it right. Do we have to put oil on onion? Wouldn’t we have to cut it first?”

“I didn’t understand what the recipe meant either, Luna,” said Twilight Sparkle. “And look that I’m very smart.”

“And now, love?” asked Luna.

“Let’s cut some of the onion, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “I just hope this is part of the recipe.”

“Can I cut the onion, Twilight?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle looked at her marefriend. “Of course, Luna,” she handed a knife, so Luna could cut the onions.

Luna started chopping small pieces of onion, but she began to cry. She didn’t know why she was crying. Was it something she felt? Was it from your past? Was it just worry or was it sweat?

Twilight Sparkle realized that Luna was crying. “Luna, why are you crying?”

Luna stopped chopping the onion and looked at Twilight. “I don’t know, honey.”

Twilight Sparkle made a handkerchief appear with its magic and wiped Luna’s tears. Luna smiled. “Thank you, honey.”

Twilight Sparkle smiled back. “You’re welcome, Luna.”

Luna stopped mowing and saw how it went. It had little pieces of onion. Luna took the onion pieces and intended to put them in the pan, but she realized it had no pan. “Twilight, where do you keep your pans?”

“I don’t know, Luna. Who uses the pans is usually Spike,” Twilight replied. “But I’m pretty sure they’re in the closet.”

Luna went to the cupboard and didn’t see the frying pan on the first and second floor, but on the third and last floor of the cupboard. She took the frying pan and drove it to Twilight.

“Where is the stove?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle looked around the second floor they were on and saw a stove on the left. “There’s a stove over there.”

Luna went to the stove, set the skillet on the right side and put the few sliced onion pieces, before taking the oil and putting some. Then he took the two cups of rice and put four cups of water in the pan. But Luna didn’t know where the salt was. “Honey, could you hand me the salt?”

Twilight Sparkle took the salt from the table and went to Luna to deliver it. “Here it is.”

“Thank you, love.” Luna kissed Twilight’s forehead. Twilight blushed a little.

Luna poured some salt before looking at Twilight. “What should we do next?”

Twilight brought the book very close to read. “Here it says turn off the heat, put the butter, nuts, grapes and mix well.”

Luna turned off the heat, took a little butter with a spoon and put it in the pan. Then she put the nuts and grapes and began to mix well.

“Does the book say what is the preparation time, love?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle read in the book before looking at Luna with a smile. “Yes, Luna. It says here it’s thirty minutes.”

Luna was worried. “How do we know it’s been thirty minutes? Do you have a stopwatch?”

“I don’t know, Luna,” Twilight replied in a panic. “And I have no timer.”

Luna got nervous. What if the food burns or becomes raw? There was only one thing she could think of to say. “My Faust...”

After a few minutes, Luna thought it was fine and looked at Twilight, who had the cookbook. “And now, Twilight? Are there any more steps?”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna before looking at the book. “Yes, Luna. Let it get some rest.”

“But for how long, love?” Asked Luna

Twilight Sparkle checked the book before possibly worrying. “In the book it says nothing about how long food has to be left to rest.”

“Let’s bet it must be five minutes?” asked Luna.

“Okay, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

After five minutes had passed, Twilight grabbed two plates, two forks and knives, a glass and water and set them on the table before going over to the stove, picking up the pan with her magic and putting some for her and Luna. Twilight put the pan on the stove again before sitting down and waiting for Luna to come. She heard footsteps and saw Luna coming down the stairs that led to the bedroom. As Luna descended, she smelled of food and sat on the left while Twilight sat on the right.

“Let’s try it at the same time.”

“I support.”

The two took a small amount before both put in their mouth and…

“Blagh!!” Twilight Sparkle scowled as she spat. Luna did the same, just said nothing and scowled as she spat.

“This is awful!” Twilight Sparkle drank water to get the bad taste out of her mouth.

“I agree, love,” Luna did the same as Twilight.

When they had finished drinking, Twilight Sparkle said, “I don’t understand. Where did we go wrong?”

“Let’s see: Maybe we don’t grind the walnuts right, we use normal grapes instead of raisins, we cut the onion that should have been whole or else, the preparation time has gone thirty minutes,” replied Luna.

Twilight Sparkle’s jaw dropped before recovering and she gets nervous. “And now, Luna? What will we do? I won’t be able to eat this. It’s horrible.”

“How about we cook something normal, Twilight?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle wanted to accept it, but the unicorn didn’t know if she should.

“Come on, love,” Luna smiled. “I’m sure it won’t make any difference eating something normal on a holiday.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “You think?”

“Yes, Twilight,” replied Luna.

“Okay, Luna,” said Twilight. “But what will we do? It has to be something that is quick and easy to do.”

“How about pasta in tomato sauce?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, searched for this food and found it. “I found!”

“What are the ingredients, love?” asked Luna.

“Five hundred grams of pasta, a packet of tomato sauce, a trickle of oil, salt to taste, spices to taste, and eight hundred milligrams of water.” Twilight Sparkle read.

The alicorn was looking for the ingredients to make pasta with tomato sauce.

Twilight looked back. “Want some help?”

Luna stopped searching and looked at Twilight Sparkle. “Yes. Please, Twilight.”

Twilight Sparkle dropped the book on the table to help Luna find the ingredients.

It took about two minutes, but they could find everything that they need. Twilight Sparkle had found the noodle package, a trickle of oil and salt to taste. While Luna found spices to taste, water and tomato sauce package. They both put the ingredients on the table.

Twilight Sparkle picked up the book to read how it was done. “Put the pasta and water in a pan and wait for it to boil.”

Luna took a pan, but it wasn’t the frying pan, it was an ordinary pan without being a pressure cooker. Luna put the pasta first, then water, turned on the stove, and waited for it to boil. Twilight Sparkle approached Luna and did the same as her marefriend. Luna was curious about something. “Twilight.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Yes, Luna?”

“What’s boiling, Twilight?” asked Luna.

“That’s when the water starts to bubble.”

Luna smiled. “Is it when it blow bubbles?”

Twilight Sparkle smiled back. “That’s right.”

After two minutes, the water boiled and came out bubbles is a smoke. Luna looked at Twilight Sparkle. “And now love? What should we do next?”

Twilight Sparkle brought the book close to read. “When you’re done, put it in a bumpy container.”

“Do you have a bumpy container in your house, Twilight?” asked Luna.

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “I believe so. And I even know where it should be.” She went to the same cupboard that held the pots and found a bumpy container. “I found it, Luna!” Twilight Sparkle went to the sink, put the noodles in the container and began to shake off the water.

When Luna saw that Twilight had finished shaking, she went to her marefriend. “And now, love? What should we do next?”

Twilight Sparkle brought the book to read the next step. “Put the tomato sauce with the oil and bring it to a boil.”

Luna took a glass and half-filled it with water before putting the tomato sauce in the pan with the oil and waited for it to boil. She looked at Twilight Sparkle. “Love.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Yes, Luna?

“What if we can’t make pasta too?” asked Luna. “What if it gets bad like walnut rice?”

“Well, I’m sure it won’t get bad, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “But if you say, I have an idea.”

“What’s your idea?” asked Luna.

“We could eat out tonight,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Luna smiled. “Is a good idea!”

After two minutes had passed, the water finally boiled and they could do the last step. Twilight looked in the cookbook. “Now one more step to go and then we can eat.”

Luna smiled before using the Royal Canterlot Voice. “We can’t wait to eat!!”

Twilight Sparkle was pushed to the wall, but she smiled. “Luna, the voice.”

Luna realized what she did and apologized. “Sorry, Twilight.”

“No problem, Luna,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“So what’s the last step, love?” asked Luna.

“With the sauce already boiled, put the dried noodles, salt and seasoning and bring to a boil.” Twilight Sparkle read before placing the book where it was.

Luna was confused. “Wait. Will we have to put water in the pan again?”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “I think so.”

Luna tried to not show irritation at the recipe.

Twilight Sparkle took the same glass he used and filled it with water and put the pasta in the pan. Again. Then she added some salt and seasoning and waited for it to boil.

After boiling, Twilight Sparkle turned off the stove, smelled it and couldn’t deny that it was good. She was confident now was fine. Luna saw Twilight Sparkle placing the pasta on the plate and slicing before placing it on another plate. Twilight carried both plates to the table and handed each one the pasta and a fork for her and the other for her marefriend.

Luna sat back on the left side and Twilight on the right side. They smelled the food before grabbing some pasta with a fork, putting it in their mouth, chewing and…

“Blagh!” Twilight Sparkle spat the piece of pasta out of her mouth and Luna did the same.

Twilight Sparkle was nothing, but confused. “But what did we do wrong, Luna? We follow the recipe right,”

The unicorn took the cookbook to check. “From what I’m seeing, we did everything according to what was sent, so why did it still get bad?”

“Don’t be discouraged, love,” said Luna. “Did you forget what we were going to do if we couldn’t cook a second time?”

Twilight Sparkle remembered. Luna smiled. “That’s right, honey. We were going to eat out tonight.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “How could I forget, Luna?”

“Love, don’t blame yourself,” Luna went to Twilight and hugged her with one wing. “You were just busy trying everything to make the food perfect.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Are we really going to eat out, Luna? Even if I forgot?”

“Of course, love,” Luna replied.

“But can we clean the kitchen and the table first, Luna?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes, Twilight,” replied Luna.

After clearing the kitchen and the table, Twilight Sparkle and Luna left the Golden Oka’s Tree Library. Luna looked around and saw some ponies awake, but what made her happier was seeing some foals playing. This made her happy because in the past no one stayed up during her night.

Luna looked at Twilight Sparkle. “Love, do you know any restaurants that stay open at night?”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Yes, Luna.”

“When night comes, is the restaurant usually full, Twilight?” asked Luna.

“I don’t know, Luna,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “I usually have dinner at home and not in restaurants”

“Okay, Twilight,” said Luna.

Arriving at the restaurant, they sat on a hay stack, grabbed a menu and began choosing what to eat.

“Have you chosen, ma’am?” asked the waiter.

Twilight Sparkle dropped the menu and looked at the waiter. “Yes. I’d like a pasta with tomato sauce.”

The waiter looked at Luna and bowed. “And you, princess? Have you chosen?”

Luna took her eyes off the menu. “Yes, subject. I’d like the same as Twilight Sparkle.”

The waiter left where he was to talk to the cook.

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Luna, could you promise me something?”

Luna smiled. “Of course, love. What do you want me to promise?”

“That starting today, whenever Spike isn’t home, we only eat in restaurants,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“I promise, Twilight,” said Luna. “Because only us in the kitchen, we would set your house on fire.”
