# THE FIRST AGT AUDITION
## Sheldon, Where Are Your Goggles?
Everyone knew the choreography.
They went to *America’s Got Talent*.
They performed.
And they were killing it.
They were synchronized.
They were entertaining.
They were actually good.
Even Simon was reaching for the:
# GOLDEN BUZZER.
And then things began looking…
wrong.
Sheldon moved another.
Turn right?
Sheldon went left.
Move forward?
Sheldon went backward.
Formation change?
Sheldon headed the opposite way.
There was a reason.
Sheldon had learned the choreography:
# BACKWARDS.
He wasn’t wearing his updated prescription *Racing Goggles™*.
Sheldon had therefore watched the choreography incorrectly, learned it incorrectly and proceeded to perform it incorrectly with the confidence of a turtle absolutely certain he was nailing it.
Then came the fatal decision.
The rest of DTO followed him.
What resulted was, technically:
### enthusiastically synchronized…
### but entirely incorrect.
The Golden Buzzer got away.
They lost.
And from that moment forward, one of the most important operational rules in the entire Ryanna Rogue Universe became:
# MAKE SURE SHELDON IS WEARING THE CORRECT GOGGLES.
Not similar goggles.
Not old goggles.
Not racing goggles with the wrong prescription.
### THE CORRECT PRESCRIPTION GOGGLES.
There are reasons for policies.
This one has witnesses.
