		"Hey mom!" A excited filly burst through the door yelling at the top of her lungs. She was out of breath, due to the excitement of getting her cutie mark. The cutie mark is a lightning bolt and three stars, the stars are yellow, except the middle one which is a lighter yellow. The filly's wings buzzed with excitement, She looked around for her mother but only heard crying of her baby sister. Lighting ran quickly up the stairs, halfway up the stairs fell out below her. She started, screaming in fear, she flails like a fish out of water. She gives a large thud as she finally lands. She is in a odd place, the sky is a inking crimson red, while the clouds were jet black. This place was all to familiar. Lightning looked around pure panic in her face. Not again, not today, not this. She thought to herself, but at this point it is basically scripted. She looked over to her mother, and there she was same place as always.
"I'm sorry," Her mother, Firefly said just on cue. Lightning bolted to her mother as she slowly gets engulfed into a white blob of what looks like slime. She is almost there she can save her mom this time. With a large smack Lightning grabbed her mothers hoofs, mostly because that is all left to grab. Yet the slime kept pulling Firefly and now Lightning Dust into it. Lightning started to sob. At this point the mutated slime started to grab onto Lightning she only then noticed she was older, about twenty or give or take a year. She started to speak.
"I, I'm sorry." She mumbled. "Mom, I was there I couldn't save you. I'm sorry." Tears kept streaming down the mares face. The blob was engulfing her arms that held her mothers so dear. "The worst part is I want to let go." Lightning chuckled a little. "I want to let you go and move on, I really do but I can't. I want to fight for you, a unwinnable battle, sure. But I won't be a quitter, I will fight for you. So at the least you can be proud of me." The slime started to consume the rest of her, at this point she couldn't get out. "I tried, I tried to help. I tried to do it alone but I can't . I will do everything I can to carry your legacy." What was that legacy, you may ask?  Firefly was great, great grand daughter of the original Firefly. This Firefly was a Wonderbolts coach. "Please, let me let go of you."
A scream comes from a hotel room in Canterlot. It comes from Lightning Dust. She quickly looks around. Its just her hotel room, no nightmares here. Lightning laid back down and started to cry a little bit. 
"I can't let go," Lightning Dust mumbled to herself as she went back to sleep.
