Cooking for Sunbutt [INTRO]

>You are Anonymous.

>You made your way to Equestria through the competitive sport of bleach guzzling.

>On account of you having died, it was obvious you lost to whoever you were facing off against.

>You had arrived in Canterlot.

>Though you were feared at first, you were eventually accepted into pony society.

>Afterwards, you got to meet several celebrities, on account of you being somewhat of one yourself, being a human and all.

>Said celebrities included the Canterlot Royalty.

>Luna had actually met you in your dreams, but noted that she was interested in talking to you IRL.

>Celestia was interested in interviewing a member of a newly discovered species, asking about customs and whatnot.

>Your invitation to meet Sunbutt was sent in the form of a letter to your mailbox.

>She wished to meet you for lunch in her castle, and noted that she had informed her guards ahead of time to let you through.

>Eventually, the time came to go, and you made your way to Sunbutt's residence.

>When you arrived, there was an escort waiting to take you to the dining room.

>"Mr. Anonymous, I presume? Right this way."

>He led you through several hallways and corridors, with tons of rooms on either side of you.

>After what seemed like hours, you reached the dining room.

>It was large and ornate, with huge windows that had a good view of the entirety of Canterlot.

>"Her majesty will be with you shortly," the escort told you before scooting away.

>Food was set everywhere on the table, and you picked out your fill and ate.

>All the while there was no sign of Celestia.

>As you continued eating, you wondered where she could've been.

>Time passed, and eventually, the food was taken off of the table to places unknown.

>You had been here about an hour, and there was no sign of Princess Celestia.

>There was no way that bitch would stand you up, was there?

>The escort from earlier arrived in the dining room.

>"Her majesty would like to apologize for her absence. She was hit with an unexpected bout of extra paperwork. However, she would still like to speak with you. So, I shall take you to her chambers."

>Her chambers?

>Your mind couldn't help forming a dirty thought or two.

>Nonetheless, you were taken to Celestia's room, and after the escort bid you farewell, you opened the door.

>Inside was Celestia, sitting at her desk and writing on several sheets of paper.

>She was extremely focused on her work, not even noticing you come in.

"Um...hello?"

>She looked up and turned her head to you.

>"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't notice you Anonymous!"

>She moved away from her desk to greet you.

>"It is a pleasure to finally meet you!"

>She held her hoof out to you.

>You took her hoof in your hand and shook it.

"The feeling's mutual."

>She motioned to a cushioned seat next to her desk, having apparently had it set up for you.

>"Please, take a seat."

>You sat down in the chair as Celestia grabbed a clean sheet of paper and the inkwell and quill she was using moments ago.

>She sat in front of you, quill at the ready to write down anything she found of interest.

>"Now, before we begin, I feel I should properly introduce myself. I am Princess Celestia of Equestria. I raise and lower the sun every day and co-rule this nation alongside my sister Princess Luna."

"And I'm Anonymous the uh...human..."

>Smooth.

>She smiled at you.

>"Very well. Let's begin the interview shall we?"

>She cleared her throat.

>And before she could speak, she was interrupted by her stomach growling loudly.

>Her cheeks sligtly reddened, and she gave you a sheepish grin.

>"Oops, was that me?"

>She chuckles lightly.

"You hungry?"

>Of course she was. She didn't show up to lunch.

>"Absolutely. Unfortunately I'm sure the lunch period is over by now."

"But what about leftovers? Couldn't you go and take some?"

>"Leftovers are never saved. My subjects don't like the idea of me eating old food, so they always throw away anything that's left."

>There was a shit-ton of food left at lunch time.

>Jesus, what a waste.

"Well, can't you just call for someone to make you something?"

>"I wish, but the chefs stick to a tight schedule to have all dishes washed to be used for the next meal, and by the time they finish, they're already preparing dinner. They simply have no time."

"Don't they get breaks?"

>"They're on one right now. After all the food from a meal is taken back, they get one hour before they come back to wash dishes."

>That left the kitchen empty right now.

>An idea went through your head.

"Princess, I can go and cook something up for you."

>She had a look of mild surprise.

>"Oh, you don't have to do that for me, Anonymous. I can wait for dinner."

>Her stomach growled again. She put a hoof to her stomach and began to pat it in an attempt to quiet the beast.

>You get up from your chair.

"I insist. Could you show me where the kitchen is?"

>Celestia looked like she wanted to argue, but her stomach didn't.

>She sighed and got up, giving in to her hunger.

>"Very well. If you'll follow me..."

>She led you back to the dining room you ate in before pointing you towards the kitchen.

>"I honestly don't know what you might find in there to use for ingredients, but I guarantee the selection will be varied."

>You nod.

"Alright Princess, wait out here at the table. I'll be back out with something delicious."

>You enter the kitchen as you realize something: you're not exactly a Gordon Ramsay-tier chef, who were no doubt the kinds of ponies that made the Princess' food.

>The kitchen had marble tile and shiny, silver counters and ovens for cooking on, which was about what you expected.

>You look through the various food storages and find an almost limitless amount of ingredients and foods.

What are you going to make her?
