Breakfast.





If there's one thing that Rarity absolutely cannot do without, it's her beauty rest. But a close second is a good breakfast.

Of course, when your sister is Sweetie Belle, that's not always possible. In fact, Rarity was more than used to waking up to the smell of smoke. No matter how much she tried to tactfully inform Sweetie Belle that she had less chance of earning a cooking cutie mark than walking on the moon, but still Sweetie tried. It was adorable... in a rather acrid sort of way.

So when Rarity awoke to the smells of fresh hay, fried eggs, and warm buttered toast, she snuggled deeper into the covers, sure that it was still just a dream.

At least, until she heard the unmistakable squeaky tones of her sister's voice. It was too muffled to pick out any words, but it was unmistakably her.

And that meant that there was only one possible explanation.

Rarity tore her sleeping mask off. "My kitchen is on fire!" she shrieked.

Still in her nightgown and curlers, she sprinted down the stairs, crashing into the wall in her great hurry to save her kitchen.

She skidded to a stop, knocking over a chair, arriving in a distinctly not-burned kitchen. Sweetie Belle stood ready as Applejac-
"Applejack?!" she squealed, suddenly painfully aware of just how disheveled her mane and tail and all-around general appearance must have looked.

"Well, hey there, sugarcube," Applejack said around the pan in her mouth. "Sweetie Belle said you'd been looking a bit stressed, so I figured I'd pop by and do somethin' to help you out."

"And I helped, too!" Sweetie said brightly.

Applejack took a slight step to one side, and Rarity could see a scorch mark on the floor that she was trying to hide. "Yeah. She did." She grinned widely. "So how about you get dressed and we can all have breakfast together?"
Rarity blushed. "I- I'd like that."
