After waking up from quite possibly the most restful sleep I've ever gotten in my entire life, let my eyes adjust to the bright lighting around me. I glanced around, looking for a clock or something to tell me the time. Directly across from the couch was a circular clock with roman numerals. Assuming it was the same here as it was on earth, it was around 5:30. 

Shifting my body to put my feet on the ground, I sat up. Taking a second to stretch, I stood up. Wobbling toward where I thought the kitchen was I rounded the corner. I was right in my thinking and smiled. I made my way to the fridge and opened it. I searched its contents for the prize I was looking for. Not finding the bacon I had hoped for, I grabbed the next best thing; eggs and hashbrowns. Walking over to the cabinets, I opened them one after another until I found a bowl.

Back on earth, this had been one of my favorite breakfast foods, so I figured I would cook some for me and Fluttershy. Taking the bowl and cracking four eggs into it, I went back into the fridge and grabbed the milk. Pouring a little bit into the eggs, I sealed it back up and placed it back where it was. Looking around for a spice drawer or cabinet, I found what I was looking for above the stove. Taking the crushed red pepper, garlic, and a little bit of onion powder I put a bit of each into the eggs before mixing them.

Taking some scissors I had found, I cut open the bag that housed the delicious thin cut pieces of potatoes. Heating up the pan that I had placed on the stove top, I poured enough vegetable oil in it to cover the bottom, then poured in the hashbrowns. Placing the cap over the pan and letting them cook, I wandered over to the pantry and looked for tortillas. I found what I was looking for on the bottom rack of the well stocked pantry. Opening the package, I placed four of them on a plate I had gotten from the cabinet, I resealed it and placed it back inside the pantry.

Lost amongst myself I didn't hear the dainty footsteps of the pony that had just awoken approaching me. "Jay?" She called to me, " what smells so wonderful?" Turning around, I saw her, still wrapped in the blanket I had tucked her in, in. Her mane, a mess but somehow still looked flowing and gorgeous. I gave her a smile and a wave.

"Oh hey Fluttershy, I'm just cooking us some breakfast, I hope you don't mind, I used some eggs and hashbrowns." I gave her a somewhat sheepish look when I realised I was using her food. But my fears were melted away when she gave me a smile and shook her head.

"I don't mind at all. I'm actually really hungry, what are you making?" She looked at the pan curiously. I just gave her a smirk and told her she would have to wait. While the eggs cooked, me and her made small talk about whatever came to mind and it was nice.

After everything was cooked, I turned off the stove top, moved the pan off the burner and got two plates. One for me and one for Fluttershy. Placing two tortillas on each plate, I grabbed the spatula I had been using to flip the hash browns and stir the eggs and put a portion of the mix on each tortilla. Grabbing some cheese from the fridge I asked if Fluttershy would like some on hers and she said yes. Sprinkling some on each, I resealed it and put it back in the fridge, not shutting the door before I grabbed the ketchup. Again I asked I Fluttershy if she wanted some and again she said yes.

After squirting some ketchup on the breakfast burritos, I wrapped them up. Taking one plate, I placed it in front of Fluttershy and took the other for myself. I sat beside her and took a bite of my burrito before motioning for her to do the same. She seemed a bit apprehensive but once she took her first bite, her eyes lit up and she was hooked. We both ate in silence but it was fine with me. It let me think about what I was going to do next.

After breakfast, I washed the dishes and cleaned up the mess I had made.  Fluttershy tried to help me a couple times but I told her it was fine and she didn't have to worry about anything. She complimented my cooking, and I thanked her for letting me stay in her home.

"Oh it was no problem at all, though I don't remember going to sleep in my bed." She looked confused. I let out a small chuckle.

"You didn't." The look on her face was freaking adorable and damn near gave me diabeetus. "When I got out of the bath, I saw you sleeping on the couch, you looked cold and uncomfortable. I wasn't about to let you freeze in your own home. So I carried you to your bed and tucked you in." I smiled at her.

"Y-you carried me t-to bed?" She looked surprised but I was taking it as a good kind of surprised. So I nodded. She got up and flew over to me to hug me. "Thank you." She whispered in my ear. When she pulled back she looked slightly flushed but happy. I said you're welcome. We talked for a short while afterward before the topic of what I was going to do next came up. Fluttershy suggested going to see Twilight and I thought it over. It was probably my best plan of action but she lived in the middle of town and it probably wasn't the best idea to just go strolling through main street by myself. I brought this up to Fluttershy and she had agreed and offered to walk me there. I accepted her offer and we shortly there after left to go talk to Twilight.
