//------------------------------// // The Return // Story: Cooking with the Author and OC // by Blue Breeze //------------------------------// Author's Note: Damn, been a while since I've done this, huh? Hehe.... well, it's not like you guys care about this anyway, right? But I'm so bored to the point where coming back to this sounds like fun. As you can expect from this story, things will get crazy. Now, on to the craziness. I get home from a day a fun filled day of going to the movies with some of my friends and seeing The Amazing Spiderman. ..Okay, I lied. I went to the movies by myself. ...I lied again. I actually just went to the theater, but I didn't have enough money to buy a ticket. So I tried sneaking in, but got caught and was kicked out. Okay, FINE. I stayed at home all day and didn't go anywhere special. HAPPY?! *sigh* Anyway, I log onto fimfiction to check for any updates as of late, whether it be story updates, PM's, or notifications from fans. "Okay, more crappy clopfics posted on the front. Nothing of interest updated. No announcements from anyone. Some stories added to groups. OC submissions. Few comments from people about my fics." I say as I nonchalantly surf the internet. I raise an eyebrow while looking at comments. "Still don't know why everyone's lying to me about my fics being awesome, but whatever. How are the stories themselves doing?" I click the stories tab and look through my fics. I know this is incredibly exciting, but don't ruin your pants just yet. I raise an eyebrow as I spot one fic in particular. "Cooking with the Author and OC?" I think over for a few moments before my brain clicks into place and my eyes widen. I facepalm in epic failure. "Oh, shit. I completely forgot about this one. How long has it been since the last time I updated this anyway?" I click on it and facepalm once again as I look at the date of the last chapter. "Damn, two months?" a smile grows on my face as I crack my knuckles in preparation. "We'll just have to fix that then, won't we?" I hope Blue is ready for a surprise visit. I know he's not, but a guy can hope anyway. In Equestria Blue Breeze sits in a chair on the opposite side of a table from Rainbow Dash, the two of them being on a daytime date at the Olive's Garden restaurant and sitting at the outside of the restaurant. They're about to regret not taking a table inside, I promise you that. Blue and Dash smile as they gaze at each other with their hooves on the table. Blue grabs a hay fry from off the plate on the table and looks at Dash knowingly. "Would you like a fry, ma' lady?" he takes it and sticks it between his teeth while pointing the other end at her. She giggles before giving him a seductive look. "Oh, I'd love a fry." Then lean closer together as Dash bites down at the other end. With each holding one end, they start inching their mouths closer and closer. While that... I don't even know what to call it is going on, I appear in the middle of town and dust myself off as I stand up from my crouching position. As I dust off myself, I look around to see ponies looking at my sudden appearance, but shrug as they go on about their business. I smirk as I think to myself. 'Good, they all remember still. I did NOT want to go through all that nonsense again.' I quit my smirking as I narrow my eyes and look around the area for a sign of Blue. 'Now, where could he be?' "Hey, Tim. What's up?" a voice I recognize as Zephyr's says out of nowhere. "Jesus Christ!" I say as I jump back and grab my chest. He raises an eyebrow at me as I breath heavily. "Who?" I stop as I glare up at him. "Don't freakin' do that, man! Nearly gave me a heart attack!" "Sorry. Just saw that you showed up and, with me loving speed, I wanted to say hi as quickly as I could." I sigh heavily. "Well, hey to you too." my eyes light up as I get the most obvious idea in the world. "Actually, it's a good thing you showed up when you did. Can you tell me where Blue is right now?" "Sure. He's over at the Olive's Garden with Dash right now. Cooking show again, right?" "You bet. Thanks a lot, Zeph." With my destination found, I dash off to go find Blue as fast as possible so we can get this show back on the road... or I guess the air in this case. Air, get it? Because it's his power? It's also my failed attempt at comedy. ...I am so alone. I run around town for a bit until I eventually spot the yellow and blue pegasus munching on a fry with Rainbow Dash. "Got ya." Blue and Dash, completely oblivious to their surroundings, continue to inch closer with the fry still in each other's mouths. But right before their lips meet, I grab Blue by the scruff of his neck and pull him back, making him choke. "There you are, you lazy ass. Do you know how long I've been trying to find you?" He coughs as bits of fry spew out from his mouth. "What the buck, Tim?! *cough* I was eating something!" "No shit, Sherclop. It's nice to see you again too, by the way." He finishes coughing as he glares at me. "What the buck are you doing here?!" "I noticed it's been a long time since we did the cooking show, so I figured I'd drop by to do an episode." I explain, smirking at how much this is pissing him off. He facehoofs. "I was REALLY hoping you forgot about that." "Nope, just didn't feel like doing it, but now I do." "But what about Dash?" he asks, motioning to the grumpy mare. She growls. "You know what? Just go! i need my space anyway." she gets up from her chair and marches off in the other direction. "See you later, Blue." "No! Dash, wait!" he sulks in exasperation before looking at me, his red eyes almost blazing in anger. "Dude, not cool! Do know what I'll have to do to make up for that?!" I shrug. "Eh, she'll get over it. Now come on, we've got no time to waste. To Sugarcube Corner!" He crosses his forelegs. "Like I'm gonna ju-WOAH!" I cut him off as I grab him by the scruff of his neck again and drag him down the street as I run to the giant gingerbread goodie shop. We get there and I let Blue go as I go in to knock the door, but it flies open with Pinkie Pie standing there and smiling. "Oh, hey, Pinkie." I say, a bit surprised to see her. She grins at me before grabbing me in a big hug. "Timmy! It's been WAY too long since the last time you showed up. You really should do it more. Oh, we have so much to catch up on." I break out of the hug as I smile at her. "Yeah, Pinkie, sounds great, but not right now. We actually came here to-" "Host the next episode of your cooking show?" "Yeah, how did you-" I stop as I realize the answer. "Let me guess. Jittery back left leg combined with head shaking and eyes winking back and forth?" "Yeppers, you got it." "Wha?" Blue says as he looks at the both of us like we're crazy, which we are. "Her Pinkie Sense, duh." "Yep. It means another world that I haven't seen in a long time is coming to visit." "That's... oddly specific." "Hey, it's Pinkie Pie. We ain't gotta explain shit." "Come in, come in. I made sure the Cakes were out of the house and I even got all the equipment set up for you." Pinkie says as she pushes us inside. I look inside at the kitchen to see that indeed our lights and camera are all prepped and ready. I smile in satisfaction. "Well, looks like you've got no choice but to help now, Blue." He facehoofs and groans. "Ugh, fine. What were you going to have us make anyway?" "Well, we did your favorite food already, so I figured it's time we did my favorite food: pizza." "Oh, joy." he says sarcastically as he rolls his eyes. "You bet your flank. Now let's get this party started!"
