Yes, cake! Who doesn't love cake?!
Well probably some ponies don't like cake, but YOU do! You smile and give her a nod, which seemed to ignite some excitement in her.
"Alright, let me get it for you."Quickly she turned and moved into the kitchen, making you wonder what kind of game she was playing. It didn't take her long to come back, with her she carried a small white plate, and when she got over to you she placed it in front of you. "Here you are!"
Looking at the cake you have to admit it looks pretty damn good. You can smell the rich chocolate and a hint of coffee. The frosting is coffee brown and melted chocolate had been zigzagged over the plate a few times to complete the picture. A small heart had been drawn with the chocolate, which made you wonder if this was Rainbow's own personal touch, or if it was just standard.
In any case her eyes were fixed on you, seeming excited to see you try a bite. At any other day you would have been suspicious of that, but you knew even Rainbow was not stupid enough to try and prank you in her own place of work. Besides, there was something exciting that really made you want to try out the cake.
So, taking the fork in your hoof, you slide it down to the cake, cutting through the soft texture beautifully and without making it crumble into a lot of pieces. It really looks great, and as you move the piece closer to your mouth you get more of the delicious scent. You don't waste time, you put it into your muzzle and as soon as you feel the cake hit your tongue your eyes go wide.
"Mmh, wow.. Just.. Wow.."
You mumble while taking your time tasting the coffee cake, letting it almost melt in your mouth as you try to suck every last bit of taste out of it. The coffee gave the sweet chocolate a nice balance, letting it settle and grace it such a nice aroma. You continue to eat it happily, glancing at Rainbow who seems to be beaming with pride. She then looks down, still smiling, but blushing a bit more.
"Do you really think it's good..?"
You smile at her and nod. "Are you kidding, it's the best cake I've had in a long time. My compliments to the chef."
"Well actually," Rainbow says and looks up at you, her eyes looking into yours. "I made it.."
You stop, feeling surprised. Rainbow Dash managed to cook something? Well in this case bake, and it tasted good? Honestly you were surprised, but in a good way, and seeing Rainbow Dash beam with pride made it all the more special.
"Wow, Rainbow, I don't know what to say. This is amazing, where did you learn that?"
Her hoof started to move back and forth, her eyes avoiding yours with a sheepish grin. "Oh well you know, you pick up a thing or two when you're as awesome a maid as me." She grinned. "This one is on me, you're the first to taste my cake!"
"Wow, thank you Rainbow!"
She winks at you and returns to her duties.
You paid for the meal, took a moment to relax a bit before you stood up and made your way towards the door again. Rainbow walked close by. "Well, I can say you gave me quite the scare when you walked through that door. I thought I was going to die.."
You shrug. "I don't see what the big deal is, I'm your friend, you shouldn't have to hide such a thing from me."
Both of you stopped near the door. "You don't get it. I don't want you to think I'm some delicate little flower.. I'm your friend, good old Rainbow Dash, your bro.. Right?"
