A young Twilight Sparkle is saddened to learn that her brother, Shining Armor, couldn't make it for Hearth's Warming Eve with the rest of her family. She receives a gift from her brother as a way for not making it - a toy unicorn soldier. She takes a liking to her toy, but what happens when her toy comes to life, and more importantly, what happens when she finds herself no bigger than the toy soldier?

Inspired by The Nutcracker and The Steadfast Tin Soldier
