Dream Toy

[WingSong]

Breezie cantered up towards the toy shop, not bothering to catch her breath along the way. She had caught wind that the new line of My Mini Horsie figures had just come into stock. She screeched to a halt upon realizing she was about to pass the shop in her elation.
She was trying to keep a contained trot as she headed to the door, but caught something out of the corner of her eye that made her stop breathing.
There, standing in the display window for all to see, was Katherine, the toy she had been literally dreaming about ever since she saw her picture in Toy Monthly. She was so much more impressive in person. Immediately, she was no longer a toy. She was a real, live horsie trotting across the countryside, sparks flying up with every step from her horseshoes of real cut diamond.
Katherine's coat was white, but nothing like Breezie's. For it had a grey, dappley patterning beneath the surface. Her mane, white with sandy coloring, was just as spectacular. And when the revolving display stand spun at an angle so that she caught the light, the glossy coat of paint came alive, slicing the rays into all the colors of the rainbow so that they could dance around her in a brilliant light show. Breezie gave a sigh.
"Why can't I look like that?"
As she stared at the figure, her idol, she gave another long, sappy sigh. Breezie was so enthralled with the display she didn't even notice when a small whirlwind made a pile of dry leaves dance around the sidewalk. She finally tore her gaze from the magnificent horse and headed for the toy shop door.

Wing Song angrily walked down the street, blinking her tired eyes. "Disturbing the peace", she grumbled," some people just have no regard for others."
Finally she found the source of all the ruckus. A young white pony with yellow hair was walking towards the door of the toy shop, a big, goofy grin on her face.
"You there! Don't you know some people are trying to sleep at this hour?"
The pony just looked at her, puzzled. "Then why aren't you at home, in bed?"
"Because of all the noise you were making!"
"Oh. I was just a little excited. See, I just had to get down here. They have the brand-new My Mini Horsie line!"
Wing Song glanced at the horizon, figuring out the time like a pro. "It's 12:02!"
"Making it after the release time of the new line!", the young pony countered.
"They didn't mean for you to come here at this hour! What makes you think they'll even be open?"
The other pony looked a little shot down, and went forward to nudge the door. It creaked open, and she shot Wing Song a pleased look.
Wing Song gave an exasperated sigh, knowing she'd get nowhere. "I'll have no part in this!" With that, she whirled around to go home - she really did need to get some sleep!

Breezie watched Wing Song leave.
"She just wishes she was into cool toys like these," she said to herself," She must have had a really dull childhood."
With a smirk, she eased herself into the toy shop, careful not to let the chimes overhead make a sound. She then scolded herself for sneaking around. She was a customer. She was welcome here.
Then she heard someone move somewhere in the building. Why am I so nervous? Breezie took a look around and knew at once. Until now, she hadn't had any doubt in her mind that the whole town would be there buying Katherine. But it was dark inside, and the shop was deserted.
She immediately felt her stomach lurch over, and tensed up again. She tried to remain silent, but a puff of wind set of a distinct tinkling sound in the doorway.
