Dudley had gotten a lot of toys for Christmas. All Harry had gotten were a pair of Dudley's old socks. Yuck!

Dudley was currently unwrapping a gift from some old aunt who had Alzheimer's. She had apparently forgotten that Dudley was a boy, and had bought him a gigantic box of My Little Pony toys.

"Eugh! Why would I want these?!" Dudley complained. His mother, Petunia, immediately rushed to his side and hugged him, cooing over the boy and promising to buy him something more 'manly'.

The box was then shoved in Harry's direction, while his uncle Vernon muttered something along the lines of 'let the freak have the freakish horses'.

Harry was glad to get something new, and he wasn't about to let it go to waste! He carefully snuck into his cupboard, his supposed 'bedroom', with the box. Opening it up, he found seven ponies inside, all came with outfits, except for the last one.

He pulled them out one by one.

First there was a purple one labeled 'Princess Twilight Sparkle', and she had both wings and a horn! She was wearing a beautiful blue starry dress and had a tiara with a big fake crystal in it in the shape of a six-pointed star. 'Wow! A royal pony!' Harry thought.

The second was named 'Pinkie Pie'. She had neither wings nor a horn, but had the most vibrant pink hair that Harry had ever seen! She was wearing a light blue dress with candy all over it, and had on a necklace with a blue balloon crystal on it. 'She looks like she'd be very hyper and silly'.

The third pony was orange with a beautiful blonde mane, and was called 'Applejack'. She too had no horn or wings. She was wearing a green western style dress with a rather fancy looking cowboy hat. She also had a necklace, this time with an orange apple in its center. 'I wonder why only she has a hat?'.

The fourth one had just a horn, and was labeled 'Rarity'. Rarity was a pure white with a perfectly styled mane, and was wearing a stunning purple dress. She had on a necklace with a purple diamond on it. 'Ooh, this one's pretty!'.

The fifth was named 'Fluttershy' and had an almost bashful look about her. She was wearing a summery green dress with flowers in her hair. Her necklace was a pink butterfly. 'Aww, what a sweet little thing!'

The sixth pony had a rainbow mane, and was called 'Rainbow Dash'. She had on a sky blue dress with white lining that looked like clouds. Her necklace had a red lightning bolt. 'She looks totally awesome!'

And finally there was the seventh pony. This one didn't have a name or accessories, just a tattoo of bubbles on her flank. Her eyes were pointing in separate directions as well. 'Is this one a factory defect or something?'

Harry checked to see if all of the other ponies had a tattoo as well. They all did, and their tattoos sort of matched their jewelry.

Harry then settled down to play with them. He played all throughout the day with them, creating stories and adventures and dialogue for them.

Eventually, though, he had to go to sleep. He positioned himself on his little cot, and surrounded himself with his seven new friends. As he slept, he wished. Harry only wished for one thing, the same thing that he had been wishing for every night since he could remember. He wished for friends. True friends, that would help him when he was in need. Friends that he could play with and talk to, who would understand him and love him back.

Little did Harry realise, tonight his dream would come true.

A soft purple glow enveloped all of his little ponies. Soon it died down, and left in their places were miniature live ponies. Both the ponies and the boy continued to sleep on in peace.
