After getting kicked out of the Wonderbolt Academy, Lightning Dust wastes her days at the bar and her nights on the streets of Cloudsdale. One night she finds herself in trouble when she is drunkenly dragged into a dark alley by a stallion with even darker intentions. Luckily a familiar face, Thunderlane, arrives in just in time to save her. However, as her former classmate and a permanent reminder of her failure at the Academy, Dust isn't too happy to see him, but accepts a walk home anyway. Upon seeing that to her, 'home' was a decrepit, abandoned junkie's den, Thunderlane offers her a place to stay until she gets back on her hooves: an offer that would change both of their lives forever.

Heavily inspired by the music and lyrics of Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, Art of Anarchy, and The Wildabouts.
In honor of my favorite singer, Scott Weiland, 1967-2015
