Doctor Whooves looked at Rainbow Dash's eye chart score. "Well, you got the lowest possible score I've ever given anypony." I didn't know you can get negative numbers, thought Dr. Whooves. "So you definitely need glasses. How did you impair your vision?"

"It might have been when Applejack hit me in the face by accident."

"Not likely. You lose your vision with a blow to the skull, not the face."

Rainbow thought for a second and groaned. "Can't I get contacts instead?"

"Of course. Would you like to see our selection chart?"

The Doctor pulled out a small chart with his mouth and lay it on the table in front of Rainbow Dash. She squinted as hard as she could until The Doctor held it up in front of her face. "Sorry, heh..."

Rainbow Dash saw the best looking pair of contacts that were also colored yellow. "Ooh, these look cool! How much for them?"

Doctor Whooves told her the price of the contacts.


Rainbow Dash stepped out with her new glasses, and prayed nopony she knew would see her like this. But who doesn't know Rainbow Dash? She took a few steps out of the Doctor's office before she suddenly saw Fluttershy herding some ducks. Rainbow Dash jumped up and hid behind a fruit stand.

Fluttershy eventually walked passed and Rainbow Dash flew away. Everything looked huge and clearer with glasses, like everything was sharper than her previous vision before it was messed up. She decided to tell her friends about them. They were bound to find out anyway. She first went to Twilight Sparkle.


When she got there, Twilight and Spike were working on a new spell. Rainbow entered and just looked at them, not knowing what to say. They all stared at each other until Spike spoke up. "When did you get glasses?"

"Just now."

"Oh, that's cool. Hey Twilight, I'm gonna take a break and get something to drink, be right back."

Spike left the room. Moments later both Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle heard Spike laugh extremely loudly.

"Don't mind him," said Twilight, "Do the other ponies know?"

"No, you're the first pony I told."

"Then let's go tell everyone!"

Rainbow Dash sighed.

They left the library and met up with Pinkie Pie, who noticed Rainbow Dash's glasses.

"Hey Twilight! Hey Rainbow Dash! What's with the glasses?

Rainbow Dash said "I need them now."

"But why? Or are you just holding them for a friend?"

Both Rainbow Dash and Twilight facehooved.

"Nevermind," said Twilight, "Just do another one of your Pinkie Pie parties in celebration of Dash's glasses."

Twilight glanced at Rainbow Dash and said "It was bound to happen anyway."

"Oooooh," said Pinkie Pie, "I have the perfect balloons for this!"


Pinkie Pie invited the entire town over for the "celebration". Rainbow Dash felt ashamed that her glasses were causing such a fuss. She just wanted to get used to them and be left alone. Why did Pinkie Pie really need to throw a party?

Because she's Pinkie Pie, thought Rainbow Dash. She may as well try to enjoy herself. She danced around and drank a lot of punch until she was feeling woozy.

"Hey Rainbow Dash, you ok?" Said Twilight.

"'Coursh I amf! Nows the time to celebrate!" Said Rainbow Dash slurring.

"I think you had a little too much punch."

"Nawnsense! I feel fine!"

Rainbow Dash stumbled around a bit before hitting her head on a table and blacking out.


When she awoke, the place was empty. Pinkie Pie was gone and so was Twilight. Her body was moved to a nearby couch. On the table next to her lie a note:

"Rainbow Dash, you blacked out and hit the ground hard. I don't know how it happened but your glasses broke. Not to worry, you took insurance on them, right? We're by Sugar Cube Corner if you want to meet us. -Twilight."

Rainbow Dash felt her face. "Horseshoes! They're gone!"

She did take insurance on the glasses, and another pair would return to her in a week's time.

How Twilight expected her to get to Sugar Cube Corner without glasses, she had no idea.
