My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

After saving the galaxy from the evil Mareran, Commander Shepard and the crew of the Pormanda have stopped to resupply on a recently colonized world. While there, the Commander and her team learn of a strange alien creature hunting the locals. Fearing that it could be one of the dreaded Collectors come to kidnap the planets pony populace, the heroic mare sets out to hunt it down, and stop its reign of terror.

Note: This is my submission for the 300 members story contest for the Fallout Equestria group here on FimFiction. We were suppose to pick a theme for it and I choose, 'Why would you do that?' This stands on it's own I think, but goes along with my current story, Fallout Equestria: Fall of Hope. Hope you enjoy it!

Cover Art: While its not completely relevant to the story, it's still Pinkie Pie in N7 armor! Come on!! Also, I am unsure of who drew the picture, but it belongs to them and them alone.

She’s the loyalest of friends and most dependable of ponies; how could anypony not fall in love with Applejack? In fact, so much of the town has found themselves under her seductive spell, they’ve formed a secret society to help each other cope with their unbridled lust. Operating in seclusion, this group has been an unseen staple of Ponyville. Surely, though, nothing good can come of the mare herself discovering the existence of Applejack Anonymous.
