hello
Everypony in the house put their hooves in the AIR!
Great story. I loved it on Fimfiction. 5 stars
Gah, gotta' put this in my "Must Read" folder.
story!
This story has all of my attention! *read*
I really want that book that's read to Twilight. Seriously, it would make a great bed time story to read to your family.
I might read this.
Have to read later!!!!
Wait, did that picture inspire this? Seems to fit all too perfectly.
That was my wallpaper for a while lol
Ha, sounds pretty good. I'll have to read it later
I may have to start reading fan-fics every now and then. Might help cheer me back up from my mysterious emotional slum as of late.
Ooo looks promising.
Oh wait, it's by Corejo. It will be awesome! Imma read this now!
Tracked this on Fimfiction and never read it x.x
Time to fix that!
Interesting....
I need some new material until my next Ranger's Apperintice book becomes available
so, is this complete or incomplete?
Only Twilight could get injured from reading books.
Heartwarming story is heartwarming.
It is Complete. And I see they changed the friendshipping tag to normal. What fun!
@Beta-Carotene
Yes. The picture inspired this fic.
I wondered when this would finally show up here. Figure it'll take maybe...two hours to reach six star status?
@Niko
Reading Rainbow... I just knew somepony was going to use that eventually!
Levar Burton is smiling somewhere... probably on Twitter.
What story is the book Rainbow Dash reads based on?
This was a very cute story indeed, and I'd definitely recommend it. I miss reading Shel Silverstein books myself.
And really, Twilight being blinded is a horrible fate for her. I'm glad it was only a temporary thing.
All of my stars! Have all of them!
A story within a story? Storyception! In all seriousness, this is a very nice fan fic. Great work.
Very well done. I really enjoyed reading this.
Aww yeah! Another awesome story from an awesome author.
The only problem is that I'm not sure if I want to slap Corejo for getting sidetracked from Transcendence or hug him for making this amazing fic.
The book reminded me of a Dr.Seuss story. That was very well written, 5 stars.
The story within the story was completely original, though Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, and Julia Donaldson naturally lent inspiration.
TwiDash Friendshipping is best Friendshipping. really brings out the best in both.
Great story just finished reading it and I got to say Dashie is the best narrator I wish she would read bedtime stories to me.... Actually this was kind of like a bedtime story:) goodnight everypony!
Yes! I can finally be the hipster and say I read & favourited it before it got featured! Whoo!
Not twilight nooooo
@Travis Smith the Shadowbolt
Hey, you read the Ranger's Apprentice series too? Which one are you waiting for? The Lost Stories is my favorite book of the series. Right now, I'm waiting for the second book in the Brotherband series to be released (it's a sequel series focusing on Skandia, as opposed to Araluen).
Really enjoyed this story. Not really that surprising how Twilight wound up in the hospital. That was just so awesome of Rainbow to stay with Twilight and read to her. Really gotta love her reading style. Anyway, great story. All my stars!
I definitely feel like this story is less of a "story" and more of an excuse to share a ponified Shel Silverstein-style poem. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. All the little stops and starts in the middle were some nice slice-of-life, realistic-feeling moments, and I had a little daww at the end.
I do feel like the characterization was a little bit off, though; I don't think Twilight would have Smarty Pants with her at the hospital despite what the artist may have thought, and a few of the lines of dialogue struck me as a bit off. Despite this it was still a fun read!
Great story! Really enjoyed it. Very heart warming ^^
Derpy grooves has forever scarred that image for me...
@wackypony
Only you would say that
@YetAnotherBrony
I'm almost done with book 6 Siege of Macindaw
Waiting for book 7 to become available at library
Will read later! I think Twilight strained her eye muscles on that last book!
@Spikely Whiplash
its all based on Indiana Jones
@Corejo
You made that up? That's... impressive.
That bed time story reminded me so much of Dr Seuss type of story. Loved it.
@Travis Smith the Shadowbolt
there's a lot of things only i would say.
It's wonderful, and warmed the cockles of my little heart.
This is not the best friendshipping fic I've ever read but it's among the best.
Everything is very show-canon and the characterizations are spot on.
It's funny and sweet and I was D'Awwwing from Dash's gutcheck reactions to Twi being in hospital all the way to the end.
I'd give this 4.5 stars but I can't so 5 Star.
Freak... reading... accident....
That concept alone deserves all my love.
I really enjoyed this. The only comment I would make was the pacing of the paragraphs describing Rainbow Dash's flight to the arrival was a bit to quick and I'd say... choppy, if that makes sense. Still, that's really my only nitpick. I also really liked the Dr. Seuss like story within the story.
I loved it.
Corejo's "Transcendence" was the first Pony Fanfiction I ever started reading.
His writing has a special place in my heart.

you were 7min off!
I love this little story, the story itself already makes ou smile a little, and then the story within the story addds up to it. Since it is a one-shot, everyone should read it!
Congratz on the 6-stars, Corejo!
I couldn't sleep, so I read this when I found it last night. One of the best freaking stories I've read in a long time. Despite only being a one-shot, it was perfect length, and the writer captured Twilight and Dash's personalities quite well. It's a good, happy story.
Found the time to read this a little while ago. It was a pretty good story, nicely done.
Great read, highly recommended.
Corejo wrote another fic? BOOKMARK BOOKMARK BOOKMARK BOOKMARK. If this is anywhere near as good as Transcndence, I will die.
Though, hopefully Dash will be a bit nicer in this one.
>.>; <.<;...
:D
*sings*
Butterflies in the sky!
I can fly twice as high.
Take a look, it's in a book
Reading Rainbow...
...
*flails and passes out*

Sorry I just had to do that. The title was too tempting not to. Kudos to anyone who knows that show. :)
Forgot to comment after finishing:
This little oneshot was absolutely fantastic and I going to link it to everyone. That is all.
@Corejo
lol, grats man, I knew it was headed that way for sure.
NOW GET BACK TO WORK ON 14.
Absolutely beautiful. Literally pure poetry =P.
The picture caught my eye when I saw it in drawfriend, but this has made it even more incredible. Well done!
picture made me loled
Awr, such a happy story - about reading! Woohoo! Well written, I must say.
just take a look
inside this book
at reading rainbow :D
...and here we have another fanfic written by Corejo and yet another superb 6-Star. Here, have a Cookie of Win, good sir. (::)
I loved it! <3
6star, really? Gratz but I never saw it go above 4.8 myself.
aww hell yeah!! i thank you, corejo. see you in azeroth!
This was really enjoyable to read. It has been a while since I read a story so pitch-perfect with the show's tone and themes. This would make a fantastic sequel story to Read it and Week on the show itself.
5/5.
Awesome, I loved the rhyme.
Wow this fic is really good, when I can switch my user agent back to normal I'll give this 5 stars.
You would probably be capable of writing something including Zecora, you have a good ability to rhyme.
I really enjoyed this fic, although the inclusion of the sub story as a separate chapter seemed unnecessary and made the fic look much longer at first glance. Figuring out what was printed from RD's dialogue wasn't difficult.
You think Twilight getting hurt is funny? You make me sick!
ARGH
WHY IS THE SECOND STORY INCOMPLETE
2/5
I listened to AdventureFlame's reading of this, and I found it absolutely dreary and a chore to get through, despite not being the one reading it.
This story feels like an excuse to get the story within published, like you'd written it, couldn't get it submitted, and so threw on a boring and pointless framing story to pad it out. And I do mean pointless; what's going on here? Twilight's hurt, Rainbow reads her a story, they comment on the story, Twilight falls asleep. The end. That's it. Nothing happens.
Worse, you didn't even make the story within the story relevant to anything. By itself, it just comes off as subpar poetry (and not Shel Silverstein in any way, shape or form) with a fairly trite plot.
I came into this looking for some kind of bonding between Twilight and Rainbow. Instead, I found myself muttering, "Get on with it," as pages of poetry rolled inexorably by. I am most definitely not reading the sequel. And why is this tagged comedy? There's nothing even remotely funny about it. In all, a dull chore of a story.
a part 2? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! luv ya!
