Vinyl Scratch, or, as she is known by millions, DJ-Pon3, has always tried to bring her fans into a musical trance. After a string of overdoses at her shows, however, she begins to wonder if her dream is worth trying for.
Much to her surprise, though, something else has decided to deal with the problem in its own way.

AN: This is my entry into the 2013 Equestria Daily Nightmare Night Contest. I went in a new direction for sure- if you're a fan of Citizenship (or not, of course!) any critiques are very welcome. Thanks!

AN 10/21: The story didn't place, but that's okay. I had fun writing it, and 5 more likes than dislikes (so far) is worth it. I will throw this into some groups after I clean it up a bit if I get time. Thanks all!

Applejack had always dreamed of serving the Princesses and earning her citizenship- even if that desire required her enlistment in the Equestrian Military. When her friends put pen to paper on their own enlistment orders, her future was made even more clear.
Unfortunately for Applejack, nothing is as simple as it seems, and as Equestria is plunged into an interstellar war against a merciless foe, she will see just how far one needs to be willing to go in order to save everything they know and love.
