Pinkie Pie bakes a Pie

"Alright. I have twice of each ingredient needed to bake this pie. So let's get baking!"
"Uh, Pinkie Pie, what is it you're exactly doing?" Rarity asks, concerned.
Pinkie is just about to start baking the biggest pie all everyone has ever seen. A pie so big, they'd have to give it its' own page in the newest, latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
"I'm baking a pie."
"Yes, but why. And why are you doing it in the school's cooking classroom? Why not at Sugarcube corner?"
"That's simple. So everyone can see, once I'm done, the biggest pie they've all ever seen!" Pinkie exclaims. "And why? It's definitely not to kickstart my legacy as a professional baker/world record holder, nope."
Rarity's about to speak before new student at CHS, Cheese Sandwich, slams open the door and walks into the room.
"Hi Pinkie Pie. Ya ask if I wanted to help. So, here I am!" Cheese Sandwich makes himself known to the pink haired girl wearing her usual baking apron.
"Wait. You actually want to help me. But earlier when I asked you, you just played me off and said, in a totally fake, cool guy voice," Pinkie leans on the counter, talking in a 'cool guy' voice, "'maybe next time'."
Cheese's cheeks blush an embarrassing red, looking nervous, thinking of what to say.
"Well I..., that was, like, an hour ago. But I'm totally willing to help now!"
"Well in that case," Pinkie pulls out an extra apron somewhere out from her puffy hair, throwing it over to him, "put that on and we can begin."

(Four Hours Later)

"Miss Pie. It's seven o'clock p.m.. How much longer will this take?" Vice Principal Luna asks impatiently, hoping that she (and Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich) may head home soon.
"Oh, don't worry. The pie should be done in, three... two... one..." With perfect timing, the timer goes off, signifying that the world's biggest pie is finally done baking.
"We would've gotten done sooner if my trusty assistance didn't keep looking my way every once in a while while he was cutting the apple slices," Pinkie says, putting on her oven mitts, "We've probably would've been done, by my calculations, an hour ago."
Cheese's cheeks blush another embarrassing red. "Well I, I just wanted to make sure everything was perfect," Cheese looks Pinkie's way again, "And it was perfect." Cheese feels a 'lovey-dovey' grin come over his face.
"Huh, I guess that makes sense." Pinkie says, her entire upper body completely inside the oven.
"Right." Vice Principal Luna says to herself, standing in the background.
"Okay, on three. One... two... three!"
With one strong pull, Pinkie brings the big pie out of the oven, and immediately sets it down (calmly) on the counter.
"Wow Pinkie! It's... It's amazing!!"
"Thanks..., I couldn't have done it without ya..." Pinkie says, panting for air.
"Wow! It really is amazing." Vice Principal Luna compliments their (mostly Pinkie's) work, taking her phone out to snap a pic of the new world record for the biggest pie.
"I'll just be in the hall waiting for you two. Congrats on the record."
"Thanks..."
After a minute of silence, Pinkie immediately sharpens back up, walking herself over to the sink to wash up all the bowls, measuring cups, and everything else they used.
"Say Pinkie," Cheese Sandwich shyly says to her, bringing a large bowl over to her, setting it in the sink, "if you plan on baking anymore big pastries, you can ask me to help once again. I..."
"Sure! And you can ask me if I wanna get ice cream with you sometime, but it's totally not a date, nope." Pinkie somehow guesses what Cheese's about to say next (and by somehow meaning it's just her being well, her) while she wipes a measuring cup clean.
"Uh... what... I, uh..." Cheese can't quite figure out what to say about that.
"Just kidding." Pinkie clears all that up, but not before giving a wink his way.
