* Used as the happy ending (!) in the short story "Time In A Bottle", by P. Andrew Miller, published way back in ''[[Dragon]] Magazine''. The genie in question is found by an aspiring scribe. His first wish was to visit a place no human had ever seen before. His second is to hear all the stories she knows, so he may record them. By the time she finally runs out of material, he is an old man, a successful anthology writer, and they are long-time friends. His final wish is to [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|join her in her bottle forever as another genie.]] She's glad to oblige.
* Another "happy ending" example, albeit a variation: ''[[Winni Allfours]]'' wants a pony more than anything. When her parents won't give her one, she eats all her vegetables to turn herself into a horse.

* An episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' featured a magical jewel-eyed skull that was bound to grant a wish to whoever found it. At the end of the episode, Grim found it and wished that both of them could be free of their curses, which the skull did by ''swapping'' their curses - Grim is now a wish-granting skull, and the jewel-eyed skull is now the Grim Reaper.

* A non-genie example occurs in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' with Freakshow, one of the few human villains. Freakshow finds a magic gauntlet and gains the power to [[Reality Warper|warp reality]]. Danny exploits Freakshow's envy of ghosts and tricks him into using the gauntlet to become one. Predictably, Freakshow is promptly captured with the Fenton thermos.
* In one episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'', Timmy wishes Crocker to be a fairy to humiliate him in front of a packed auditorium. The audience tries to attack him, capture him, and bring him to scientists to be examined. He escapes and flies away. It seems to be an actually happy ending in the end for Crocker, as he realizes just how great it is to be a fairy, until the last second, when Timmy remembers to unwish the wish, causing Crocker to fall out of the stratosphere and into the Turners' trashcan.
