This story is a sequel to Apple Bloom Brings a Paring Knife to School

Reading the prequel is recommended.

Hearth's Warming Day is approaching, and Luna is finally getting settled in to Ponyville so she can start to guide Sweetie Belle in her new magic. But with Discord's antics grating on everypony's nerves, the unprecedented return of the Nightmare Paring Knife, the sudden appearance of the extremely annoying but also oddly endearing Cor Cantae Amoris, and Sweetie Belle's increasingly uncontrollable magic, will this perfect Hearth's Warming be all it's shaped up to be?

Probably not.

This story takes place post-S4. Twilight Time does not exist in this universe.

Art by me.

Apple Bloom brings a blunt paring knife to school to share an apple with her friends. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

"It's the evil Nightmare Paring Knife! Run!"

Oops?

Some elements of Twilight Time are ignored in this story. This story is post-S4.
