Here we go again...

Lightning Droplet felt a pounding in his head. It wasn't strong or pain-infusing, just a gentle, uncertain pounding. almost as if it isn't sure if it's a hoof tap or a pounding. Groaning, Lightning opened his eyes. Light. That was different. Maybe the guards of Limbo had opened a dimensional window or something.... or maybe, now he looked around, his wish had been granted: A second life. An afterlife, if you wish. Suddenly, he heard a rough, female voice. "Umm...you ok?" He turned his head to the voice. A cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane stood proudly in front of him, a concerned look on her face. Her eyes were a rose-like colour, almost as if he was staring into roses themselves. She chuckled. "The name's Dash. Rainbow Dash. I found you on my porch - passed out."

She seemed nice enough.

"Uggh.... my head..."

"You ok?"

"Yeah. Never been better."

"If you say so."

Lightning rubbed a hoof on his eyes. He looked down at his sky-blue hoof. Sky blue...

not grey...

YES! He was finally alive again!

A....live?

Well, he wished for a life AND a family so...

He looked at the picture on the wall.

6 wacky-looking ponies stared back at him.
