Rarity groggily walked down the stairs to the kitchen, wiping the remaining gunk from her eyes. She could hear the ticking of an oven and a viscous bubbling coming from where the tea kettle usually was as she sat down on the table.
“Cooking again aren’t we, Sweetie Belle?” Rarity asked with her eyes still closed.
“Yeah! I know you spent all night doing that panic order that Sapphire Shores ordered so I thought some of my super delicious breakfast could help you go through your day!” Sweetie sang, her little hooves running to the oven after it gave a delightful “ting.”
“Hmm, yes, that does sound nice. You can’t even begin to believe what I had to go through to finish that line for her upcoming tour, I almost ran out of gold sil-” her words were cut off short as a cast-iron skillet was dropped before her. Rarity’s eyes cracked open in fear as the stench wafted to her nostrils, using her hair and her hooves to cover her muzzle.
“S-Sweetie… may I ask you what this is?” Rarity muffled out from her hair.
“It’s my triple blueberry scrambled potato surprise!” Sweetie Belle jumped, her smile reaching ear to ear.
Rarity gagged at the sight of the food, it was still bubbling and it ate the fork that she tried to prod the chowder-like mixture with. She nervously laughed and pulled on her hair a bit with her hoof.
“Oh, well uhm, well you see! I had a big... meal! A big meal just before going to sleep, oh yes I’m too full to even have a bite. Hah hah ha…” Rarity excused, her faux smile falling apart as she saw Sweetie Belle look to the ground and sigh.
Rarity sighed herself and fought back to get her fork, “Fine, I’ll give it a bite.” Her words making Sweetie beam in excitement.
“Oh! You forgot your drink!” Sweetie Belle took the tea kettle and poured a big helping of the thick mystery liquid onto Rarity’s favorite cup, she then took a chair and sat beside her.
Rarity then took a very small itty-bitty tiny piece of the breakfast and hastily took a bite, she couldn’t help but gag as the food assaulted her taste buds. Seeing Sweetie Belle’s eyes wide in anticipation, she chewed the food and swallowed heavily, taking a big gulp from her cup and held her hoof before her mouth before she burped loudly. She didn’t know which was worse, the Eldritch horror of a breakfast she had before her or the beverage that screamed death.
“So?” Sweetie asked.
“It’s… oh dear Celestia… delicious!” Rarity smiled.
“Yes! I knew you’d love it! You’re the best sister ever!” Sweetie Belle squealed and hugged her tightly. Rarity smiled and returned the hug, knowing that her sister’s happiness is worth more than any upset stomach.
“Ah, Sweetie Belle, what was the surprise in there?” She questioned, her eyes closing as she enjoyed her little hug.
“Oh! It’s shrimp!” Sweetie giggled and squeezed Rarity harder.
Rarity felt her insides rumble.
“Oh, dear.”
