Ah. Is this based on the monkey paw that grants wishes but in a very twisted manner?:applecry:
Those three are going to be in a whole lot of trouble, that's for sure...

It's Discord's disembodied claw, isn't it?

Wow, another Crusaders adventure - it is look really interesting!

While the answer is no, I like the way you think.

Don't wish for a turkey sandwich.

“Ah’m thinkin’ of wishin’ for unlimited cheesecake!” Apple Bloom happily answered.

And this just in: we have the latest reports on the expanding cheesecake ocean. The tide of dessert has now overtaken Las Pegasus, meaning the cheesecake now covers over thirty percent of Equestria's surface and doesn't look to be slowing down or stopping any time soon. Experts are baffled as to what could be causing it. One professor of advanced conjuration was quoted as saying: "All we can say for certain is that this apocalypse will be delicious."

Reminds me of that story by WW Jacobs, The Monkey's Paw

Here we go again. This time with the young six.

Respect your experienced neighborhood dragon!:moustache:

“At least you didn’t take her livelihood like Sweetie Belle did ta her sister,” Apple Bloom said before correcting herself, “Wait, wait no, ya did. Nevermind.”

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Fantastic monkey paw adaptation.

“Should have been more specific.” - A genie, after removing all humans from planet Earth in response to a wish for “peace on Earth.”

Apple Bloom x Cheesecake. I ship it.

Apple Bloom really needs to learn when to keep her mouth closed.

It’s very adorable and refreshing to see Apple Bloom’s transformation be treated as a comedic thing.

Spike comes in to save the day.

It was a good read, good work
