Pancakes!
Sunset nudged one the main supports to the book fort. The structure quaked, and Sunset dived to save the column, forgetting for a moment that the hut was made out of books, not stone. A muffled yelp and hiss came from within as the roof came down with the rest of it. Ever so slowly, Twilight floated out with crossed front hooves. “What was that for?”
Sunset blushed slightly and swallowed hard. “Look, I’m not good at this, so, can we drop the home destruction and have you simply…” She stopped talking as a black aura came over all the books and they came over Sunset before promptly being released. “Mmf!”
“Okay, now I have dropped it.” Twilight simply giggled as Sunset threw a book through her.
“Do you want to make pancakes?”
Twilight tilted her head. “What is a pancake?”
Sunset blinked a few times before grabbing Twilight with her magic. “You are coming with me, now!”
Twilight leaned back and brought a book to herself as she was taken to the royal kitchens. She immediately sought out a cookbook to find this treat while staying invisible from the chefs around the place. Sunset picked up the milk and flour before pointing to the eggs and mouthing three. Twilight nodded, focused real hard to keep her invisibility up while grabbing the three eggs, and rushed back.
Crack
The head chef pony stared at the yolk on his face, glanced at the other ponies in the kitchen, and acted like nothing had happened. It was better to have yoke on his face than be called insane, or at least in his mind. Sunset and Twilight on the other hand couldn’t stop snickering. They eventually were able to focus on the pancakes again, and Twilight stirred while Sunset got the condiments. Many chefs followed their leader’s example and simply ignored the whisk that was moving itself.
Celestia soon entered the early morning kitchen, there for what she always was there for. A quick scan of the room caused her to weakly waved to Sunset, mumble something to a chef, and to dump a whole bag of chocolate chips into the pancake batter. Twilight looked at Sunset who shook her head and walked over to Celestia.
“Coffee?” She watched as Celestia groaned and waved a hoof at the air before letting it lazily fall back to her side. Sunset nodded, and gave the princess her very much so needed caffeine. The kitchen staff put on their regular blinders and Sunset shut her eyes and added a layer of magical protection in preparation for what was to come. Twilight, only got closer.
Gulp, gulp, gulp. “Ahh.” Celestia smiled and let her body relax for a moment, just as she had every morning before finding this wonderful nectar of the gods. There was one drawback, but Twilight’s screams of agony as her retinas were seared by Celestia’s burst of magic as it woke up were well worth the benefit of being able to move for the first half of the day. “So, pancakes?”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to read again!”
Sunset grabbed Twilight with her magic and helped her to rest in the dining hall. “Give it half an hour while I finish up the pancakes. It hurts, but if it actually caused a problem, Celestia would have stopped drinking coffee a long time ago. Besides, it’s well worth it for those days where someone accidentally makes decaf.”
Twilight chuckled, having seen the almost dead Celestia and imagining what that might be like for an extended period of time. Sunset, content with her friend being okay, moved back into the kitchen. Upon coming out with Celestia and three plates of chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream coming out, a giggle escaped her and the princess as Twilight was already back to reading. “You ready to hear the praise for your wonderful stirring skills?”
Twilight floated upward and did a small curtsy with the edges of her cloak. “Shower me with your praise.”
Sunset and Celestia both bit into their light, fluffy treats and moaned in pleasure. Celestia knew Sunset could make some of the best pancakes in Equestria, even if she normally lit everything else on fire and still demanded that it was amazing, and these were no exception. Twilight squirmed in the air as two continued to eat and exclaim. She focused and sniffed, being able to just for a moment get a whiff of the delectable entrees.
She floated down and put her hooves into the table as she stared at the pancakes. She leaned forward and bit at it, but only got a chuckle as half of her head simply vanished into the food. Twilight came out and glared at the fellow unicorn before focusing and turning tangible again, only this time she took a large bit and pulled. The piece fell out of her as the pancakes crashed to the ground.
Celestia jumped at the sudden disturbance to the peace and sighed. “I’m sorry Twilight if we’re causing you a problem. Sunset, perhaps you could clean that up for her?”
Sunset hopped down from her chair and gave Twilight a brief sile. “Well, I guess my pancakes just can’t beat thousand year old recipes, can they?”
Twilight rubbed her hooves. She didn’t want Sunset to think she didn’t like the pancakes. The mare had worked hard on those and deserved praise, just like she had for her phenomenal whisk skills. She thought for a few moments, and just as Sunset went to eat more of her pancakes, they were chucked into the fireplace.
“Wh-wha? Why did you?”
“I’m hoping that now their spirits will come up and I’ll be able to sample them then.”
Sunset watched as Twilight simply continued to float there. Her horn started to spark and arc electricity as she bent low. “They were my pancakes! Only I burn my pancakes!”
Celestia threw up a protective spell to combat her student’s angry outburst, giving herself a quick reminder that it had been some time since the two of them had talked about controlling one’s emotions, at least in coordination with their emotions. At least, that was until she opened her eyes. “Sunset?”
She turned around and stomped on the floor. “What is i-ah, ah, um.” She swallowed hard as Celestia got down from her chair and the away from the burnt pile that was left of her pancakes.
“Are there anymore left?”
“Hey, you at least got some!”
“Twilight, you aren’t helping.” Sunset turned back to Celestia and swallowed hard. “No?”
The janitor later would be quite perplexed how the dining room had come to be so thoroughly scarred by magical radiation, ice, and fire. So much fire. He would always have his theories though, the most commonly ridiculed being: pancakes.

Twilight, attempting to make a surprise for Celestia and Sunset, accidentally brings a toaster to (un)life. ... ... Bonus points if Luna is eventually subjected to said toaster.
5901461 What do you mean by subjected?
How about a day when they accidentally drink the coffee (Fully Caffeinated) when Celestia meant to give them Decaf, but get decaf herself?
I wanna see Twaith interact with the rest of the Mane Six, as well as come to terms withe her age.
5901473
"Sister! We hath discovered this most odd of appliances! It radiates EVIL!"
"That's the toaster Luna."
"It threatened to devour mine breakfast!"
"....*sigh* I'll talk to it."
"Sister we feel as if we are not being taken seriously."
What about a sleepover? Twaiht, Celestia & Sunset. In the end they battle for the blanket because Twilight without knowing make the room very cold.
chapter idea; two words: instant popsicles, specifically, made by Twaith.
5901660
"Twilight this was very thoughtful of you! And at this time of year most welcome."
"Yeah Twilight, this is really good but I can't really place the flavor."
"Oh it was nothing really! I just took some mixed fruit juices from the kitchens and froze them onto sticks with my magic!"
A moment of comfortable silence in which the two living ponies continue licking their popsicles, then pause at the same time and peer at each other.
"What?"
"Didn't your magic result in an arguably undead dragon being born right out of the shell?"
"Well... yeah? So? This is just ice. I do that without even trying."
"I will destroy you all!"
"..."
"..."
"Did the popsicle just--"
"OK. Fine. I get it. My magic does weird things OK?!"
"...."
"Why are you still licking it?"
"Because it's the tastiest villain I've ever defeated in my life."
"...."
And so they resumed eating the evil popsicles that promised them death, torment, suffering, and garishly contrasting clothing for the rest of eternity.
5901617 That'd be cute!
5901513 5901660 5901694 Good suggestions right here
5901513
The Amityville toaster makes breakfast spooky.... yum, yum, yum... human hand...
5901965
"What the hay is that?!"
"I don't know! I just tried to toast waffles!"
"It looks like a monkey's paw!"
"It's GROSS! It's all... toasty!"
"Ugh Sunset get rid of it!"
"Me?!"
"I'm not touching it!"
"Uuugghhewww... Fine! No more using this toaster."
"But it gives blueberry muffins if you put in pumpernickle."
"... OK fine but no more waffles."
great with everybody's evil inatimate things now i can't help but imagine sunset and twilight playing chess and everytime twilight moves a peice it comes to life with a protoss or eldrich demon voice and starts sprouting random things,
WHY IMAGINATION? WHY? WHY IS THE KING TELLING HER TO CONTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE! I'VE BEEN BETRAYED BY MY OWN IMAGINATION!
Hey how about twaith getting clothes with sunset and celestia
Spirits of theclothes be with them
5901965 Is it wrong that my mind thinks of Dragon Fable when I hear Amityvale?
5901461
5902144 You know, as much as I love these suggestions, I really do, you expect WAY too much out of Twilight at this point. Nonetheless, I will consider.
Might be interesting if Twilight performs a Possession and THEN samples food...and then proceeds to devour large amounts of it until her Host gets sick...which could be the origin of that picture Featherweight got his mits on with Celestia stuffing her face. (I know that this is taking place before he was born, but it could have been an older photograph that one of his relatives had *Shrugs*)
5905075 Why do you say before he was born?
5905123
Because in the show, Featherweight is a colt when Twilight goes to Ponyville, and Twilight was taken on as Celestia's student in the show as a foal. In this fic, SS is still young (I don't remember if she's a child or teen or young adult for the purpose of your fic) which means that had Twilight NOT been undead and this canon according to the original storyline, then Twilight would have come along a few years later, a foal herself. IOW, Featherweight would not have been born yet, and likely his folks not even together yet as a couple.
I suppose for purpose of your story, Twilight could enact that plan later on in life after being somewhat jealous of watching Sunset get her mouth overstuffed with the Apple family products during the impending-evening arrival of Nightmare Moon and it being obvious before becoming over-stuffed that it was all quite tasty. Yeah...that could work!
5906958 I wasn't doubting the comment, just the fact that they are canon ages, which puts both SS and Twi as young adults, though of course it depends on your opinion.
I want to see Twilight and Sunset geeking out together on thier favorite books/stories! Maybe Sunset could introduce her to Daring Do?
This is a hard one to catch on a good day, but this is the wrong instance of the 'then/than' pair.
"Then" is used when referencing time and/or order of events while "Than" is used for comparisons. Whenever you go back to fix minor mistakes, you need to change your instance to 'than'.
5924257
...and you missed the yoke/yolk homophone error.
It was better to have yoke on his face
caused her to weakly waved to Sunset
1. Yolk.
2. Wave.
5924257 Bringing up what
5952812 said again. I guess the... Yolks on you.
One of these is too much.
5906965
yolk?
Will add comments with whatever I perceive as incorrect after each chapter I read.
Also added a correction to the first chapter.
*reads fic while eating breakfast, reaches chapter*
What the fuck?
5902144 [youtube=tEJd838oNp4]
5902144
That... would actually be pretty funny.
