This is a story where Humans have been enslaved by Ponies. To the Social Elites they are a status symbol and, in rare cases, sometimes even bodyguards. To industrial or agricultural communities they are a cheap source of labor.

In Canterlot, the parents of one little filly fear their daughter may not be making any friends. So they choose to go to the market and buy a shy human boy who may grow to be more than a slave to her.

Rated M for future chapters, reasons include Sexual Situations and Violence. But not until much later chapters.
