Lightning was just clocking out from work, "Later fellas! I'm off for the day" chuckling a little to himself as he left the weather factory, his co-workers really knew how to throw a curveball at him. "Hey!" said a Purple mare, "Hey Lily!" said lightning, "I hear that a new band is hanging around canterlot, thought you might be interested.", "Thanks for the info, I've been meaning to find some new music to listen to, Later!" Lightning broke into a gallop and leaped from the ground, wings spreading wide as he took off for his home, "I should probably grab some gear before I head off to canterlot, maybe I could jam with this new group." He made a loop and skidded to a halt outside his home, pulling out his keys to get inside, almost dropping them in excitement. "alright, I'll need my guitar, a notepad, maybe a couple pics....." he continued to ramble on as he collected his belongings and locked up his home. "Time to see what I can REALLY do." as he pulled his keys from the lock, he broke into his fastest sprint yet and jumped off his cloud, diving to gather speed before opening his wings and rocketing off towards canterlot. "This is gonna be great, hear some new music, make a couple new friends, I can't wait!" As he flew he began to hum a little tune to himself "Soarin through the sky, watching the clouds as the ground rockets by........" Some time passed and he got carried away in his little tune and didn't notice a small group of fruit bats rocketing up from the ground (WHAM!) Lightning collided with the group and began spiraling toward the ground, managing to pull up, he hit the street and made a loud thud. "Man, I've really need to stop getting so carried away when I sing." He laughed a little and scratched the back of his neck, stretching his wings as he made sure he was ok. "Didn't think I'd get here this fast, its a new record for me" Laughing again as he looked around.
