One Page Scene #1 (Pancakes)

The smell of pancakes filled the Apple family’s household, it was around 6:30 a.m that morning as the sun slowly began to rise. The sounds of sizzling were heard by the pan, as the butter instantly melted by the heat, and the sounds of chatting were heard within the kitchen.

Applejack decided to make the pancakes that Saturday, she felt like Granny or Big Macintosh needed a break, especially from work this week. Zephyr was a bit tired, he wasn’t used to waking up this early, his usual time was around 10:20 max. But since he had to help around, it still didn’t make up for it.

He leaned his body against the counter, his head against his hand while his arm balanced him. He gave a few loud, yet tiresome yawns, stretching his other arm as he heard a single crack from it, before it felt to his side. He looked at the pancake slowly bubbling up. The bright side from all of this, is that the warmth of the stove was felt on his skin, which made him have a sense of warmth deep down. But he knew that the best part was. It was spending time with his girlfriend, Applejack.

“Alrighty,” Applejack responded happily, she took a whole of the spatula. “I think this pancake is ready; like a roast chicken on a barbecue.” Making sure, she slowly put the spatula underneath the breakfast food, she didn’t want any batter to spill out ruining the pancake in the process. Luckily it wasn’t, as it was ready on it's other side. Her spatula took a whole of the breakfast food, flipping it as it fell straight in the pan.

The pancake’s batter splattered a bit, making it spread out just a bit out of the pancake but it didn't look too bad. Zephyr saw this before he nodded, a smile slowly formed on his lips. “Not bad apple,” he said, his tone still sounding tired but still his usual confident self, making Applejack gaze her head to the tiresome breeze. “not bad.”

She lifted a brow at him, a smirk formed on her lips, and her cheeks slowly turned warm. “Haha, thanks Zeph. I could’ve done better, but hey, it’s better than no bad pancakes.”

The prideful male gave a warm chuckle. “True. But, I do admit that you look quite mighty lovely today, and you’re better than other pancakes.”

A groan came from the farmer, her cheeks slowly turning more warm than before. She turned her head at the food, knowing that it was ready. She took a whole of the pan handle, using her spatula to scoop her pancake. She placed it on top of the other two pancakes that sat upon a white plate.

She put the pan upon the stove top again, her head turned to Zephyr once again, her eyes now seeing a playful smirk on his lips, one his brows were lifted while the other stayed down. He felt his cheeks turn warm, the same way like his dear AJ. The farmer rolled her eyes, playfully pushing him by using her free hand. “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood, Breezy.”

A laugh arose from his throat, while he maintained his balance. “Well, I could make your mood better. After breakfast.” he flirtatiously responded, causing Applejack to sigh softly. She ended up placing a hand on her face, shaking her head slightly as she could feel her face warm up more.

"Just yap it, and take your pancakes! Ya mood giver." she playfully said.

The End.
