	Twilight Sparkle was now finished with the letter and just sent it to her former teacher, Princess Celestia. Now that she had finished with the letter, she was heading downstairs so she could try to see if she could help Hope Shine in some way with her memory problem.
“Well Miss Shine, I-” and then Twilight saw her on the floor. Twilight rushed over to her now in a frantic state, “Oh no, oh no. Miss Shine, please wake up! Come on Twilight think, think! There must have been a book on this!”
The panicked alicorn was running around the library in search of something that might help. A book or a manual of some sort, just about anything that might help at this point would do. Then she had an idea of what to do.
“SPIKE!” she yelled out in a panic.
“What’s the problem Twilight?” said the purple dragon, worried about what had happened. And then he noticed Hope Shine on the floor, “Oh, never mind.”
“Quick Spike, THINK!” said Twilight in a frantic state, beginning to look like she did in ‘Lesson Zero’, “WHAT DO WE DO!”
Spike was now thoroughly and utterly confused with Twilight’s behavior, “Look Twilight, she’s probably just dehydrated and needs water.”
“Right. Water. On it,” replied the disgruntled Twilight.
Twilight then teleported out and came back with a glass full of water. She then proceeded to splash the water on Hope Shine, who then woke up. Now that everything was getting normal again, Twilight was calming down.
“Wha-What happened?” asked Hope, now awake due to the splash.
“It seems that you fainted for some reason,” Twilight responded.
“Oh,” Hope Shine replied.
“Maybe we should take you to a doctor,” Twilight thought out loud.
“Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” Spike added.
“Okay, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to find out if I’m alright,” Hope giggled.
“Let’s go then,” Twilight said.

Twilight, Hope Shine, and Spike were in the checkup room waiting for the doctor to show up. The nurse at the front had explained that the doctor here was running a little late today, and that he’d be here in a little while.
About twenty minutes later, a pony ran into the checkup room. He was out of breath when he came in; he looked as if he was running from something, or someone. He was a tan pony with a brown mane. He was wearing a lab coat, and what looked like might be a fake mustache, kind of like he was in disguise.
“Uh, Hello,” He started, “I’m the Doctor.”
“Hello. Are you alright?” asked Twilight.
“I’m fine,” the Doctor responded, “Er, let’s see what’s wrong then shall we? So, uh, what were the symptoms that she experienced?”
“She fainted,” Twilight answered.
“Hmm, interesting,” Mumbled the Doctor.
He then began to point a pen with a light at the end of it, or maybe it was a screwdriver. He shined it all over her and tried just about every angle to point it with. After he was done, he looked at the side of the thing which was now beeping.
“I see,” He smiled, “Excuse me Miss, uh, what was your name?”
“Hope Shine,” she answered.
“Right,” he replied, “Miss Shine, would you mind reading the words on the eye test board for me?”
"Of course,” she started, “E F P T O Z L P E D P E C F D E D F C Z P F E L O P Z D E R F O R E C L X Y O Z P O Q.”
“Hmm, quite interesting,” the Doctor said.
“Okay, first off, what is that pen thing?” asked the confused purple alicorn princess, “Second off, what is so interesting?”
The Doctor took her aside so that Spike and Hope Shine wouldn’t be able to hear them, what he was about to say was mind blowing, hard to comprehend, and a bit unbelievable.
“Well,” he was whispered, “She did faint due to some type of dehydration, but most likely not water, but she’ll be fine. But what really intrigues me is that she should be blind due to the lack of corneas and pupils in her eyes, but she seems to see just as well as me and you, maybe even better. And,-what was the other question that you had?”
“What is that pen- or screwdriver thing that you scanned her with,” restated Twilight Sparkle.
“Ah, yes. Well, um, hehe,” stuttered the Doctor in a nervous tone, “i-it’s a scanner, yeah, a portable scanning device. It’s an experimental idea for the new doctors, so not everyone will have one.”
Twilight was about to ask some more questions that would have had him elaborate on the scanner, when suddenly Ditsy Doo, the town mailmare ran into the checkup room with an expression of great emergency on her face.
“D-Doctor, w-we need t-to go!” said Ditsy Doo with urgency, “H-He’s here.”
“Oh, um, okay,” the Doctor began, “well, that’s that I guess. Well, I’m off. I hope I was able to help in some way. Amorriba!”
And with that, they were out of the room. And Twilight’s suspicions were confirmed, when he went out, he had left his mustache behind in the commotion. Twilight, Hope Shine, and Spike all stood there in total confusion. They had no idea what had just happened, or how. Hope was the first to come out of the daze.
“Um, so, what did he say? Am I okay?” asked Hope Shine.
“Oh, um, he said that it was definitely dehydration of some sort,” Twilight Sparkle replied, “but that you would be perfectly fine.”
“Oh, well,” Hope started, “that’s good news. So, um, what should we do now?”
“Well,” Twilight Sparkle thought aloud, “I guess we could see if my friends know anything.”
“Great, I like that idea,” Spike said enthusiastically, “let’s do that!” 
“Okay, why not” Hope Shine added.
“Alright, I guess were headed off to see my friends!” Twilight finished the conversation enthusiastically, “LET’S GO!”
