This story is a sequel to Rarity Gets Jealous

It's Hearth's Warming in Ponyville again, a season characterized by joy, merrymaking, and love. Spike is currently toeing the line between Rarity's and Flitter's interest in him, but a strange occurrence in Ponyville soon after the arrival of Princesses Luna and Cadence turns the whole crazy love triangle on its head.

This is a sequel to the smash hit "Rarity Gets Jealous"...I suppose it's not completely necessary to read the first story to understand this one (as most of the plot can be gleaned from context), but I would recommend reading it prior to this one, to get the most fulfillment out of it.
Rated Teen for some suggestive passages.

Merry Christmas!
