Lava Cakes

CHAPTER 6: LAVA CAKES

“Well I’ve got to hand to you, this looks pretty cool but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to eat everything.” I said as I sat down in the kitchen table.
This time Fluttershy had woken up before me and I guess she had some time so she made breakfast for the both of us.

“It’s the least I could do after what you’ve done for me.” She said finishing up what seemed like a batch of French toast with daisies.

“Are those…flowers on the bread?” I asked, it seemed a bit odd but I did say no meat, well at least afterwards she said it was fine if I wanted to eat it.

“Yeah it’s a recipe I read from a book Twilight gave me.” She said sitting down, she made quite a few plates of food but I was decided to try everything out, at least for her.

“Wow…this tastes… quite good actually.” I said as I took a bite of the French toast and some eggs with some kind of pepper.

“Oh, um thanks.” She blushing and smiling at the same time. “So are you always by yourself everyday? Because your family rarely seems to be here.” She asked cleaning her mouth with a napkin.

“Yeah, everybody except me goes out most of the day, I mean I do have an occasional get-together with my friends but not as much as before.” I answered eating some more French toast, got to admit that tasted good.

“Don’t you get lonely or sad?”

“No.” I responded in a heartbeat.

“Why?” She asked again.

“Cause you’re here and I’m not alone.” I said smiling at her causing her to instantly smile and blush again. “Well anyway I’ll tell you now, tomorrow I have school so I’ll be home at around maybe 3:30pm so in case you wake up and I’m not here.” I explained.

“Oh that’s fine.” She was almost done with her breakfast while I on the other hand already finished.

‘Damn this laundry is heavy.’ I thought as I walked up the stairs from the basement towards my room, I had to do my own laundry most of the time and also some of my family’s but I didn’t mind.
At least I had something to do,
“Peter!” I heard Fluttershy call me from upstairs.
“Coming!” It was almost time for launch and by the looks of it only Fluttershy and I were going to be eating here.
“What is it?” I asked setting the basket with clothes beside me.

“This thing has been vibrating for a while now.” She pointed at my cellphone that was receiving a text message
“What happened? Aren’t you going to stop by?” It was Pamela, I had totally forgotten about going.

“Oh sh- Are you going to be okay if I leave for like maybe 20 minutes?” I asked turning around to look at Fluttershy.

“Well yeah I guess.” She said thinking for a second.

“Okay I’m just going over there to pick a few things up, anyways want me to put on the videogame on so you can play?” I asked, might as well have her entertained for the time being.

“Oh yes please that would be great!” An instant smile appeared on her face.
“You know these are way different from the ones in Equestria.” She added

“Oh yeah we also have that type of videogames here in this world, anyway be right back, if anybody calls or knocks on the door don’t answer.” I instructed her before leaving.

“Okay, what if your parents or brother come?” She asked.

“Don’t mind them, unless you know they start talking to you.” I said

“Okay then, take care.” She replied before starting to play, I should teach her how to use the controller so she can play some other games.

“You too.” I said before walking downstairs and grabbing the car keys, good thing my mom didn’t take it today.

“Geez what took you so long?” Pamela said as I walked in the store, it was her uncles shop so naturally as a family member she could work there.

“Sorry I have some ‘company’ and I was a tad bit busy, anyways how have you been?” I asked her giving her a friendly kiss In the cheek, I have a crush on her but naturally I wouldn’t dare tell her.

“Oh yeah? Who might that be that you have visiting?” She said rather teasing me.

“Just a friend.” I said looking around to what they had.

“Is this friend a girl?” She asked again with the same teasing tone.

“Yes…” I know what’s coming.

“So she’s your ‘girlfriend’?” She said it as a single word on purpose I just knew it.

“Yes, she’s a girl and she’s my friend, anyway what do you have to eat today?” I asked know that Fluttershy was probably going to be hungry as well.

“Let’s see we have some salads like always, hamburgers with fries and sushi.” She said, man those were all good options.

“I guess I’ll be taking two sushi rolls please.” I said while grabbing some chips and other goodies.

“Okay then, anyway how has your family been?” She said as she started to mark all of the stuff I was buying.

“They’re fine, same old routine of going to work and coming back.” I said while placing the rest of the stuff on the counter.

“That’s good, tell I said hi, anyway the total will be $24.50.” She replied finishing marking all of my products.

“Did you bring what I asked you?” I asked while giving her the money.

“Oh yeah! Almost forgot, here they are, freshly made and ready to serve.” She handed me the lava cakes I asked her to make, I really loved them but she never gave me the recipe.

“All right, they look delicious, can’t wait to eat them, have I ever told you how much I love these things?” I complimented as I took the bags and searched for the car keys.

“Yeah like every time I make them you tell me.” She said chuckling; it’s true I did say that the whole time.

“Well I guess I’ll see you tomorrow at school then.” I said before leaving.

“I guess, see you tomorrow then, and take care.” She waved goodbye from behind the counter.

“You too.”

The drive back home was rather peaceful, not too much traffic which was a good thing, I didn’t want to leave Fluttershy alone too long, not that I didn’t trust her but I didn’t want nothing to happen to her.
“Fluttershy I’m back!” I said while walking into the house, I could hear her upstairs playing still, I went into the kitchen to leave the bags, there was no response but I guess she just didn’t hear me.
“Are you up here?” I said walking into my room, and as I suspected there she was only thing is she wasn’t playing.

“Oh you’re back, I hope you don’t mind but I took the time to fold all this clothes for you.” She answered finishing folding the last piece of cloth left in the basket.

“Oh, um thanks you didn’t have to.” I said shrugging a bit.

“I just thought I could help out, you sure do have a lot of chores to do don’t you? She asked getting up from the bed and walking closer to me.

“Yup well that’s what happens when you stay alone at home like me, anyway I brought us some food, I mean if you’re hungry that is.” I told her while pointing towards downstairs.

“Well I am kind of hungry so yeah I guess I do want to eat.” She said smiling before walking out of the room, me following her.

“Well I bought sushi, I don’t know if you have this in Equestria but it taste good, it fish with rice and other stuff.” I told her setting down the sushi on the table.

“We do actually, I like it a lot.” She said a smile forming on her face.
We sat down and started eating, we were about half way done when I thought of a question.
“Hey, not to be mean or anything but do you think that they’re looking for you?” I asked her after finishing eating a piece of sushi.

“Well I mean I’m sure they are, after all that’s what I would do if it happened to any of them, I would go looking for them no matter what…” She stayed silent for a brief second before continuing eating.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure they won’t take long.” I said grabbing her hoof. She seemed to get a bit happier, after this we were done with the sushi and ready for dessert.
“I hope you have some room in your stomach still cause I brought some dessert too.” I said bringing in two plates with a lava cake on each.

“What are those?” She said looking at her plate as I sat down in front of her.

“They’re called lava cakes, y friend makes them and they taste wonderful.” I said before taking a bite of my cake, I was just really waiting for this moment.

“Hmm… Thmy dom tastme good dom’t themy?” I said forgetting my mouth was full with the chocolate pastry.

“They are.” She responded after swallowing a piece of it.
“I wanted to ask you, I mean if it’s okay with you but was that thing that was vibrating this morning?” She asked me about my cell phone, I almost forgot they didn’t have them in Equestria.

“Oh sure no problem, they called phones, we use them to communicate with other people who aren’t here or that we can’t go visit and just want to chat or remind them something.” I gave her a brief explanation of how they were somewhat used for.

“Oh that sounds like a good way to talk to your friends when you can’t visit them.” She said after analyzing the use of this artifact.

“Yup!” I said imitating Big Macintosh, I wonder how long she’ll be living here with me? Hopefully a good while, just enough for her to enjoy some of the good things this world has to offer.
