She looked down at the bowl by Spike's basket. It had a bunch of worms in muffins.
Spike blushed and explained, "Shortly after I first moved to Ponyville AJ kinda... poisoned the town with 'Baked Bads', but since I liked them so much Pinkie makes them for me occasionally,"
Screwball raised an eyebrow, "and you think that's weird?"
Spike blinked, looking up at her, "It's soda and chips baked with worms,"
"... well I don't see why you would put Chips in it but soda is frequently baked into pastries and worms is just part of a basic whelp diet,"
"They are?" Spike blinked.
Screwball groaned, "No wonder you're so small. Don't tell me these ponies feed you all the plant crap they eat,"
Spike blushed again.
A hand suddenly formed at the end of Screwball's tail, seemingly made out of her fur. The fur fingers snapped and a book suddenly appeared floating in front of Spike's face.
"Lizard Gizzards?" Spike blinked, reading the title.
"It's a cook book for Sapient reptiles," Screwball shrugged, "A lot of bug and fish recipes. Figured you wouldn't want a book for typical dragons given they often eat pigs and bunnies, which clash with your pony upbringing. This book is a good, pony approved, substitute,"
Spike awed as he opened the pages. The first thing he saw was a grilled grasshopper dish with cherries and chocolate sauce, "Thanks," Closing the book and hugging it along with the Rarity plush.
"Wanna go try out some of the recipes?" Screwball asked, "It's not bedtime yet?"
"Sure,"

Soon after they found themselves wearing aprons and baking the large bugs Screwball teleported into the kitchen. Strangely Screwball didn't have a problem eating the bug muffins nor the pancakes. She explained that, like Draconequus, she was actually an omnivore.
Pinkie blinked as she wandered in but didn't question Screwballs sudden appearance nor the bug muffins, "Finally decided to step out of the 5th dimension?" Well maybe Pinkie asked one question about it, "I know your dad has been trying to get you out of there for a week,"
Screwball, however, wasn't so pleasant, "Well after you so thoroughly ruined Spike's first ever sleep over I couldn't very well stay there, could I?"
Pinkie's mane instantly exploded and became completely straight as she got a broken expression on her face, "Well I'll leave you to it," as she quickly fled.
"Screwball!" Spike snapped, "You seriously need to learn some tact. Pinkie was only doing what she thought was right,"
"You were sitting in your room crying for 3 hours," Screwball reminded.
"Yeah well adults suck sometimes but they only ever do what they think is best," Spike naively said, "You know, so we grow up right and all that,"
Screwball rolled her eyes but didn't comment. Instead she passed him the books version of the worm muffin. It tasted even better then Pinkie's, probably because it was an actual recipe.
