Rarity goes blind.

(the first of 3 stories that lead up to 'The Second Tartarus War'.) One day, in a freak accident, Rarity is blinded. Finally able to leave the hospital, she tries to catch a taxi cab, but actually ends up in a police carriage. The officer doesn't have the heart to tell her her mistake, so he takes her home and drops her off. The next day, the same thing occurs, and the officer, Officer Blue, decides to be her personal chauffeur. He takes her anywhere she wants to go, describing the scenery she can no longer see. Eventually, they fall in love. But can his simple deception about being a cab driver break them apart? Inspired by a contact lens commercial.
