Rainbow Dash stumbled out of the library and was immediately hit by a powerful wave of nausea.

"Urp..too much punch..."

She knew flying was a bad idea so she decided, reluctantly, to walk. She walked on and on and wish she hadn't gotten so drunk that night. Everypony looked so blurry, like they were walking ghosts.

She turned around and just saw more blurry things. "How am I supposed to find them like this?"

She turned a corner and bumped into a slightly larger pony, knocking them both down hard.

"Oww..." Said the other pony.

"Uh-oh...sorry about that. I can't see." Said Rainbow Dash.

The larger pony stood up. "It's alright!" Said the familiar voice. The pony was blue, and a little taller than Rainbow Dash. She immediately knew who it was.

"Soarin'?" She said.

"That's me," said Soarin, scratching his head with a hoof, "But why can't you see?"

"I lost my glasses..." Said Rainbow Dash meekly, surprised that she sounded just like Fluttershy.

"Hey..." Said Soarin, "Aren't you that pegasus from the gala? You are! You really saved my pie!"

Rainbow Dash giggled like a schoolfilly, remembering the past event. "Yeah..."

"I didn't know you wear glasses."

"Well they were new, but they broke."

"You can't see a THING?"

Rainbow Dash shook her head.

"Well," Said Soarin, finding the words in his head, "Would you like me to escort you?"

Her heart jumped. Her idol wanted to help her out! HER!

"Yeah, that'd be great, thanks." She smiled.

Soarin' spoke: "Where ya headed?"

"Sugar Cube Corner"

"Alrighty then," said Soarin', "We better get going."

Rainbow Dash nodded and walked with him, off in search of Rainbow Dash's friends.

"So it took THAT long to become a Wonderbolt?" said Rainbow Dash, easing up around him.

"Yeah!" he said, "And I was so psyched when it happened! I was so glad to be able to join Spitfire and the gang and finally earn my title!"

They both walked and talked, Soarin' keeping an eye on her so she wouldn't fall, and Rainbow Dash staying close so she wouldn't lose him.

Just then they arrived at Sugar Cube Corner. Fluttershy was talking quietly to Rarity, and the others were watching Pinkie Pie try to eat a salt shaker for an unknown reason.

"Hey gals," said Rainbow Dash, "I finally arrived!"

They all turned and saw Rainbow Dash with Soarin'.

"Howdy!" said Applejack, "Aren't you gonna introduce us to your friend?"

"Yeah yeah, gals this is Soarin', Soarin' these are my friends. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle." each of them raising a hoof or in Pinkie's case, bouncing, when she said their names.

"Hi," said Soarin', "I was just helping Rainbow Dash get here because her glasses broke."

"Oh, right," said Twilight Sparkle, "Here Rainbow Dash, I fixed them to the best I could."

Twilight used her magic to levitate the pair of glasses over to her. A large piece of tape held the two lens together. Her jaw dropped. Oh Celestia help me, I'll look like a nerd!

Rainbow Dash simply took the glasses and held them there. "I'll put them on later, I gotta rest my eyes."

"But you just got them back." said Twilight.

Rainbow Dash shot Twilight a SHUT UP look.

"Well I should be going," said Soarin', "I wish I could stay and chat but I have mandatory Wonderbolt practice."

Rainbow Dash was crushed inside. "...Will I see you again?"

"Of course!" said Soarin' simply.

Rainbow Dash laughed. "Right. Well, later."

Soarin' waved and took off, turning mid-takeoff and changing direction, heading toward Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash was already sad to have him gone.

Applejack approached her. "Heehee! What was that about? Is Rainbow tryna saddle up and lasso a coltfriend?"

Rainbow Dash reeled "What? Me? Nah"

"I know when you're lying, Rainbow."

Rainbow Dash looked toward them and they all smiled.

"Well," she said, "He is cute."

"I knew it!" said Pinkie Pie. "This calls for a celebration!"

"NO," said Rainbow Dash. " I mean, not now."

"Aww..."

"Oh and Twilight, these glasses make me look like a nerd!"

Twilight spoke up. "What? It's just tape!"

"Can't you mend them with magic or something?"

Twilight glanced at Pinkie Pie. "No...you can ask Pinkie Pie why."

Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie, confused. "Huh?"

Pinkie Pie bounced up really high and came back down 15 seconds later. "Twilight used her magic to make me bounce SUPER DUPER HIGH!"

"And it used ALL of my energy..." said Twilight, shooting a death glare at Pinkie Pie, who looked sheepish.

Rainbow Dash put the glasses on, making her look like a nerd. "See? I look ridiculous!"

Pinkie Pie was laughing hard now. Even Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle.

"Ugh." Groaned Rainbow Dash. This is gonna suck, isn't it?
