Stella listened and nodded her heads as Ariel explained her knowledge on the weather. "Oh err yes, that would be perfect thanks!" She blushed and looked over at her bags. She grinned at the stallion who was helping out. She couldn't wait to move in! It was definitely going to be fun...

 

"Ahem... er, right...  Excellent, the Town Hall is this way."  He then began to lead the two into the center of town.

 

 

She frowned and turned to the stallion, "Uh, do you hear something?"

 

"I tend to hear a lot of somethings at any given moment," Plagal responded without thinking.  "Er... though that's probably not what you meant..."

 

Wings, behind us, his consciousness told him, I'm guessing that's what she meant.

 

Right... thanks.

 

 

As Corkscrew was Scheming his plan high upon his cloud, he hears a familiar voice and two new ones. He pokes his head down to see whats going on. He sees Plagal and two mares he had never seen before in Ponyville. He keeps to himself, fallowing the group in the direction of town hall. Corkscrew was going to ask Plagal for his advice on romance once he had a moment. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the mares that where with him. He was hoping by hovering behind them he wouldn't be noticed, but it may have been too late.

 

He turned around to see a familiar face.  "Oh, hello Mr. Corkscrew!  I was just showing these two mares to the Town Hall.  Do you... er... do you need anything?"

As Aerial turned round to see what the noise was, Stella grinned sheepishly and waved with her hoof. She set herself on the floor and tucked her wings in, to then begin walking. The sound stopped. But she couldn't stand walking, flying was so much better and fun. She took off from the ground and began doing a couple of small tricks in the sky every now and then.

"Corkscrew landed behind the group and began to approach them. Good afternoon Plagal."

 

Corkscrew turns his head to the two mares. "Nice to meet you, I'm Corkscrew."

 

He looks back to Plagal. "This may sound weird coming from me, but I need your advice. I'm a little stresses. I just came from the library and had a talk with Twilight. I can't seem to shake these feelings I'm having for somepony. Do you remember back a month ago when we first moved to Ponyville and I told you about my crush? I don't know if it is just a crush or something more. I need to find the way to work up the courage to talk to her about it and was hoping you could give me some advice."

 

Corkscrew takes a deep breath.

 

"Pagal, when you get a chance, I need to talk to you about something"

 

Corkscrew turns his attention to the two mares again. "Just a quick question. Do you two plan on participating in the annual Ponyville Pegasi Race? I hear the defending champion, Rainbow Dash will be in it again this year."

Dogboots knew that having the root around was illegal in all of equestria and he also saw the hilarity at the situation. Here he was standing in front of a princess with an illegal substance for potion making and he needed to get rid of it. The stallion kept composed and took a deep breath. "Listen I need help getting rid of this...root. I don't want to explain it but I can't burn it cause it will attract too much attention and burying it isn't going to help either. So....I was thinking that since your an alicorn who specializes in magic. Would there be anyway you could just make this stuff disappear?" He asked Twilight. Dogboots had no idea which was worse. Going to Royalty to help get rid of an illegal substance or the idea behind it all.

Twilight look at Dogboots and turn her head to look at the saddle bag full of those roots. When she look at them it look familiar she turn her head and ask him " Are those root illegal if so why do you have them" Twilihgt look confused at him. "And yes I can help you but you have to tell me why you have them in the first place" Twilight ask Dogboots.

Plagal looked absolutely puzzled by this.  He had expected to have new experiences while in Ponyville, but never had he thought that somepony would ask him for relationship advice!  He found it almost comical.  "Are... are you serious...?  Er, I mean... um... yes, yes I do vaguely remember you mentioning that.  Wasn't it concerning the yellow peg-" He stopped himself before he said any more, remembering that the two of them were in public and Corkscrew was obviously taking measures to avoid the mare's identity getting out.

Understatement of the century, his consciousness added.

 

"-but, well... I...

Yet, his consciousness reminded him.  It hasn't happened yet.  Plagal could almost pick out an evil, scheming tone in that thought.

"Thank you kindly and though I do agree that he should admit himself to the hospital I can't let him do that. It would end up ruining his business selling pain relief potions to the hospital and it's his only way of making a living. Not only that, but I want to give him the chance to redeem himself. After all he's gone through a lot this past month. Anyways, I appreciate you not reporting this to Celestia. Now I got to get back home and check up on Max to make sure he's okay." Dogboots said before leaving the library. The stallion had another reason for going to Twilight though. He needed to test her to see if everypony in royalty was the same. "Perhaps...perhaps she's not like the others. Still, it's way too early to make any assumptions." He thought to himself about the new alicorn princess.

On the way back, Dogboots had noticed a pegasi wobbling around the town. He soon bumped into the pegasi and nearly fell back.

Max, flying home after failing to find the sign-up sheet, heads up to his secret lab, not bothering to close the hatch. He saw on one of his desks, a RS potion hangs from a rack. The last potion made with the root. Max promptly throws it against the wall, shattering it to pieces. He nailed the bottom portion of the formula for making them. The potion smudged away the root compound, the runniness dripping down to the floor. Suddenly it hit him.

"Wait a minute..." He flew over to the wall. clearing away the smudge and drying it with his wings.

"The chemicals in the root gave it the novelty effect, but what if..." Max starts writing down new pieces in the formula, checking cabinets to make sure the ingredients were present.

"If I mix that with that with the fluid found in the orange dragon flower...the properties pony made supplements would react violently with naturally occurring elements...if I add that here to blend with the regeneration chromosome...keep at aboooouuut...75^oF..." Max stood back, looking at the new formula. He rushed to one of his many work benches to create this potion. He worked with more care than ever before. After finally completing it, Max took the potion in hoof, admiring the white liquid.

"If this works as predicted, this should restore the ability to see color to color blind ponies!" He rushed out, keeping the potion strapped to the belt he attached around his waist. He headed straight to Canterlot, thinking who he could tell of his discovery. The thought hit him immediately.

"Dogboots' brother! He is high up in the scientific community!" He rushed to his home, getting their in 35 minutes flat. After taking time to regain his breath, Max knocked on the door.

"Believe it or not, but the formula for this originated from the Rainbow Sight formula. I...had a bit of an addiction to these potion. I got rid of the key ingredient though, I assure you. Anyway, when I saw the formula, and removed the Everfree root from the equation, I had an epiphany of sorts. I began experimenting with this, adding elements from natural supplements like the orange dragon, and mixing it together with different medicinal components, like the draconian regeneration chromosome, making sure one doesn't overpower the other." Max didn't realize that he was at a whiteboard, writing down the EXACT formula that he had discovered as he spoke. A month ago, this would be gibberish to him, but it made perfect sense now. After finishing, he sat back down, looking between the potion and Neutron.
"So the properties that gave the user the rainbow tinted view, when not being affected by the root, will work with the subjects retinas to mend the damaged portions and use the color elements to 'kickstart' his vision. The potion, in theory, should allow the subject to see color for at least 7 years, at which point they need to take another potion. It should have little effect on ponies with healthy vision. I need a test subject for this, and if it works, then we are one step closer to curing total blindness."
