A Quicker Way Back

"Left for Ponyville!"
"SHORTCUT!!!"

My take on what happened after "The Last Roundup", inspired by a scene from "The Titfield Thunderbolt". Who knows, maybe I should do a follow up piece of the engine smashing into the Carousel Boutique!

No, I don't know where Pinkie would get the 14XX from either, just go with it!

It was only when I had neary completed this that someone pointed out that Pinkie & Rarity look like glove puppets! *Prepares for glove puppets to appear as licensed merchandise*

The last panel looked quite different in the first draft. Initially Pinkie was where Rarity is and Rarity was seen desperatley clinging to the of the engine screaming whilst both were persude by a group of Pony Policemen. That draft was far to cluttered so I simplified it down to what it now looks like. It was at this point that the "Celestios" poster was also drawn onto the wooden fence. I never intended for it to be there, but strangely, it works quite well!
