The unruly mob



“What do you mean you won’t retract the story?”
Those words came from Applejack as she slammed the newspaper on the table.  On the cover it said “Twilight Sparkle responsible for the School of Friendship Magic debacle.”  Neigh Nanners looked up at Applejack and Rarity, who were in total disgust.
“The ponies of Equestria need to know the truth of what happened when the magic disappeared that day.  And don’t tell me it’s because of some snot-nosed kid.  From what I can tell, she was nothing more than a puppet working for Twilight Sparkle.”
“It’s not the darn truth,” Applejack said, pounding her hoof on the floor.  “Rarity and I knew what happened when Tirek confessed to his plan of planting Cozy Glow into the School of Friendship to carry out that awful deed.”
“How exactly was Twilight Sparkle responsible for carrying that out when she, along with the rest of us, were locked away in Tartarus with Tirek?” Rarity said.
“Am I supposed to believe what you said?”  Neigh Nanners said.  “You two could be lying just to cover for that disgrace of a princess, just like what Princess Celestia has done many times in her life.”
“That’s no excuse for your news program to send out a mob mentality across the nation,” Applejack said as she pulled open the blinds.  “Especially with the protest going on outside your building.”
Neigh Nanners walked from his desk and looked down at the streets of Manehattan.  Thousands of ponies flooded the streets holding signs in protests as they chanted “Down with Twilight.  Down with Twilight.”
“I don’t see anything wrong with the people protesting on the streets,” Neigh Nanners said.  “They’re fed up with Princess Twilight Sparkle and her incompetence.  The moment they see her face, they will run her out of town and out of sight.”
“But that doesn’t give them any excuse to harass younglings,” Rarity said.  
“What the people of Equestria are protesting, they have every right to do so,” Neigh Nanners said.  “If innocents are caught up in the crossfire, then that’s the price they pay for getting in their way.  That is the judgement of Equestria.  Now get out of my news service right this instant, before I have you both arrested for trespassing.”
Applejack looked like she was about to pop a blood vessel.  Her face turned bright red and her teeth were bare.  But before Applejack could say anything, Rarity stopped her by placing her hoof on Applejack’s back.
“Let’s go,” Rarity said.  “We’re better than this uncouth garbage heap.”
“You’re right,” Applejack said as her face turned back to her normal color.  “The last thing I need is to see the face of this jerk again.”
Applejack and Rarity walked out of the room with their heads turned away.  Neigh Nanners walked back to his seat, sat down and looked out the window.
“What do those ponies know about Twilight Sparkle?” Neigh Nanners said.  “As far as I’m concerned, I’m glad she screwed up at the Summer Sun Celebration and revealed her true colors.  Now the whole world will know that they are dealing with an incompetent fool who should be locked up.”

Meanwhile, outside the School of Friendship, ponies gathered as they held signs that said words like “Get lost Twilight Sparkle,” “Down with Twilight,” “Friendship is not magic,” and “Disgraceful princess.”  The protesters chanted and threw rotten tomatoes at the walls of the School.  A number of Canterlot Guards held back the protesters from entering the school.
Inside the head mare’s office, Starlight Glimmer sat there, holding her arms over her head, chanting “Please let it all go away.  Please let it go away.”
Suddenly, the door opens and Trixie runs in, covered in smashed tomatoes.  She closed the door and held her back on it, panting heavily.  Starlight lifted her head to see Trixie holding back the door.
“Trixie,” Starlight said.  “What happened?”
“I’ll tell you what happened,” Trixie said as she got down on her four hooves.  “The moment I stepped near the School of Friendship, these self-centered freaks decided to use my flank for target practice.  I barely got into the school and came up here to hide myself from those maniacs.  And it’s been two days since Neigh Nanners put out that piece.”
“I have not seen any pony act like this in my entire lifetime,” Starlight Glimmer said as she got out of her seat.  “Not even when I was a power-hungry tyrant using equality as a mask.  And it’s been driving me mad.”
“Don’t say that,” Trixie said as she grabbed Starlight and held her up  “We’re better than those buffoons.  We have friendship on our side, and all they have is hot air.  What’s the worst thing that can happen?”
But before Starlight could speak, she overheard a knock on the door.
“Trixie,” Starlight said.  “I’d wish you never said that.”
Trixie blushes as she lets go of Starlight Glimmer.  The light purple unicorn walked up to the door and opened it.
“How may I help…” Starlight said before she paused with complete disgust.  Outside the office, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona and Silverstream stood there, covered in tomato bits and dust.  They ran into the office in a hurry before Starlight closed the door.
“Gangway,” Yona yelled as she ran alongside her friends.  “Yona need to hide from bad ponies.”
But just as the Student Six approached the desk, Starlight froze them in place with her magic before turning them around, face-to-face.  Starlight walked up to Sandbar, and saw a bruise on her arm.
“How did this happen?” Starlight asked.  “I thought the guards kept them out.”
“They did,” Sandbar said.  “But some of the protesters had the idea of using their magic to hit us with either that rotten produce or worse.”
“That’s horrible,” Trixie said.
“I thought being at school would be the best thing ever,” Silverstream said as she held herself in a cradle and began to rock herself.  “But now, I’m beginning to miss Mount Aris and Seaquestria.”
“I’d never thought I would say this,” Smolder said.  “But even Cozy Glow was not as malicious as those creeps.”
“Don’t say that,” Starlight said.  “We don’t have to sink down to Cozy Glow’s level to prove a point.  Heck. even I know that  my actions in the past were wrong and silly.  We have each other, and that’s what matters the most.”
“But how do we do that when there are more nasty ponies that make King Sombra look like a melting pot of friendship?” Gallus asked.
“We’re not going to let those goons get the best of us,” Trixie said.  “We need to tune them out and focus on what friendship is all about.”
“But how do we do that?” Ocellus asked.  “And what if the leaders of the world found out that we were being harassed by these bad ponies?”
“Then we’ll have to let you back into your respective nations,” Starlight said.  “The Changeling hive, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, the Dragon Lands, Mount Aris.  It may mean that you may have to say good-bye.  But as long as they don’t go anywhere near your lands, then you’ll be safe.”
“Starlight,” Yona said.  “Yona don’t wanna leave you.  Yona like being in Ponyville, but Yona afraid of bad ponies.”
“Don’t you worry, Yona,” Starlight said as she kissed Yona on the forehead.  “I won’t let those bad ponies get you.”
Suddenly, they heard another knock on the door.  Starlight turned around and opened the door to see Diamond Tiara enter.  Her tiara was hanging from her mane as she was covered in tomato bits.  Diamond looked like she was about to break out in tears.
“Diamond Tiara?”  Starlight said.  “What happened?”
Diamond Tiara barely walked into the room, shaking nervously.  As soon as she stepped in, she started to fall towards the floor.  Starlight quickly used her magic to stop her in her place before pulling her over to her.
“Are you alright?” Starlight said.  “You look like a complete mess.”
Diamond Tiara looked at Starlight Glimmer as her tiara dropped to the floor.  She bursted into tears and cried into Starlight’s chest.
“Poor kid,” Smolder said.  “What happened to her?”
“Looks like those self-centered protesters decided attacking a filly was okay,” Trixie said.  “I am beyond disgusted.”
“You and me, both,” Starlight said as she comforted Diamond Tiara.  
Diamond Tiara looked up at Starlight’s face as tears rolled from her eyes.  Starlight looked down at her with a gentle smile.
“Are you okay?” Starlight asked.
“N..no,” Diamond Tiara said.  “I woke up this morning and I was on my way to the Ponyville Schoolhouse, when there were all these bad ponies chanting ‘Down with Twilight.’  To make matters worse, they started attacking all of us with rotten produce.  Even mom and dad were hit when I made a run for it.”
“That’s horrible,” Starlight said.  
“They even went as far as to vandalize our mansion,” Diamond Tiara said.  “That why I ran here….BECAUSE I WANT THIS NIGHTMARE TO END!”
And thus, Diamond Tiara cried into Starlight’s chest again.  Starlight could do nothing, but hold Diamond close to her as the filly weeped.
“This is more serious than I thought,” Trixie said.
“I know,” Starlight said.  “We better get the others in here, and fast.”

Later that day, Starlight Glimmer sat in the chair of the head mare’s office.  Sitting in front of her were Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Trixie and Spike.  Next to Starlight was Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, all while Smolder held Diamond Tiara in her arms.
“You all know why I called you all to my office, correct?” Starlight said.
“I sure am,” Applejack said.  “It’s about all those protesters chanting ‘Down with Twilight.’  You can thank Neigh Nanners for that.”
“We tried to tell Neigh Nanners to retract his hate-filled article about Twilight Sparkle,” Rarity said.  “But he wouldn’t budge, even threatening to have us arrested for trespassing.”
“So we’re stuck right now, are we?”  Starlight said.
“I’m afraid so,” Applejack said as she took off her hat and held it to her chest.  “Never have I seen this many crazed protesters in my life.  And worse off, their anger towards Twilight Sparkle felt unjustified.  What has gotten with those ponies?”
“They won’t listen to reason, whatsoever,” Rainbow Dash said.  “Thanks to those buffoons, the Wonderbolts had to close up shop until further notice.  Even Spitfire’s had it with those morons.”
“Because of what those party crashers did,” Pinkie Pie said.  “Mr and Mrs Cake had to close up shop and move out of Ponyville.  And now how is Ponyville going to have their bestest best parties ever?  And I also miss Pound and Pumpkin.”
With that, Pinkie Pie cried to the point where tears poured out of her eyes like twin waterfalls.  Rainbow Dash and Rarity were getting soaked by Pinkie Pie’s tears.
“And the animal sanctuary’s been abandoned,” Fluttershy said.  “Dr Fauna had to get those poor critters out of there before the whole place was trashed by those meanies.”
“And those morons had the nerve to destroy my wagon,” Trixie said.  “I spent memories in that wagon of mine and it’s all gone.  They really peeve me off.”
As much as I want you to watch your language,” Applejack said.  “Even that’s not enough to describe them.  In fact, Granny Smith was thinking of moving out of Ponyville with Big Mac, Apple Bloom, Grand Pear and Sugar Belle.”
Starlight breathed a sigh of disappointment.  She turned to the students with a sad look on her face.
“Students,” Starlight said.  “I may have to pull out the ultimatum.  Do any of you object?”
Gallus walked up to Starlight Glimmer and said “Speaking on behalf of my fellow students, I see no objection.  Do what you think is right.”
“Then it’s agreed,” Starlight said as she turned back to her friends.  “Effective immediately, I will be shutting down the School of Friendship until further notice.”
“That’s great and all,” Spike said.  “But where are the students going to go to?  It’s too dangerous, here in Ponyville.”
“It’s simple,” Starlight said.  “We’re leaving Ponyville for Canterlot.  In fact, I called on a friend to help us out and she said she’ll go out of her way to help out.”
“I really didn’t want this to happen,” Applejack said.  “But these creeps left us with no choice.”
“Starlight,” Rarity said.  “It’s your call to make the announcement.”
Starlight nodded.  She scooted her chair up to the intercom system and had her hoof over the button.
Suddenly, the door to the Head Mare’s office flew right open with a violent kick as Juno made her way in, catching everyone by surprise.
“Juno,” Starlight said.  “What happened?  You looked like you'd seen a ghost.”
“It’s worse than that,” Juno said.  “The School of Friendship has been breached.  The guards have been knocked aside and those bullies have entered the school grounds.”
“Oh no,” Applejack said.  “This is worse than we thought.”
Starlight was quick to reach down towards a metal box underneath the desk.  She looked at everyone in the office and said “Twilight never thought about using this.  But she kept it for an emergency ever since Cozy Glow’s little rampage.  And now because of how many students are in danger, I’m left with no choice.”
“Then make it so,” Spike said.
Starlight nodded.  She reached down and used her magic to pry the metal box open, revealing a button.  With a slam of her hoof, Starlight pressed the button.  
Immediately, the alarm went off  and the lights flashed red as a voice stated “EMERGENCY!  EMERGENCY!  SCHOOL OF FRIENDSHIP BREACHED!  EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!”
“Come on,” Starlight said.  “Let’s go.”
Starlight got out of her chair and ran towards the doorway, with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike, Juno, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream, Yona and Smolder with Diamond Tiara in her arms following right behind her.  Rarity and Applejack stood there, looking at each other.
“We better find the other students and make sure they get out,” Rarity said.
“Roger roger,” Applejack said as she and Rarity ran out the doorway.

In the halls of the School of Friendship, every student was running through in a complete panic as the alarm repeated “EMERGENCY!  EMERGENCY!  SCHOOL OF FRIENDSHIP BREACHED!  EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!”  Applejack and Rarity ran down the hallway before they caught up to some of the students.  Rarity fired a flash bang from her horn, getting the attention of the students in the hallway.
“This way,” Applejack yelled.  “We’re getting you outta here.”
Applejack and Rarity ran the opposite way as a number of students followed from behind.  One pegasus student called Huckleberry ran up to Rarity and Applejack.
“What’s going on?” Huckleberry said as the saddlebags on his back rattled from the running.
“We’ve had a breach, coming from the mob of protesters,” Rarity said.  “So Starlight has issued an emergency evacuation notice.”
“But why are they protesting us?” Huckleberry asked.  “What did we do to them?”
“It’s because of Neigh Nanners’ decision to bad mouth Twilight Sparkle,” Applejack said.  “And he’s riled up a crazed base of fans to go after everyone in Ponyville.”
“That’s despicable,” Huckleberry said.  “We have to suffer because of one bigot’s opinion on Princess Twilight Sparkle?”
“Opinion ain’t a strong enough word,” Applejack said.  “What he said was…”
But as the group continued to run down, they came to a stop, as a group of protesters blocked their way forward. 
“What in tarnations?” Applejack said as the protesters marched towards them.
“You’re not going anywhere,” One of the protesters said.
“Yeah,” Another mob member said.  “You’re going to pay for supporting Twilight Sparkle.”
Rarity looked to her left and saw an empty hallway.  She tapped Applejack’s shoulder and said.  “This way.”
Applejack nodded and followed Rarity down the hallway with Huckleberry and the other students right behind them.  
“After them,” one of the members of the mob yelled.  “They mustn't get away.”

In another part of the school, Starlight Glimmer lead Juno, Trixie, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Silverstream, and Smolder who was carrying Diamond Tiara through the hallway with a number of students following right behind them.  The group was running as fast as possible as another mob of protesters chased after them.
“Headmare Starlight,” Juno said.  “Where are we going?”
“Trying to find a way out of here,” Starlight said. “And making sure every student gets out safely.”
“I wonder if it was a good idea for Rarity and Applejack to separate from us,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Those two know how to wrangle up a crowd and steer them in the right direction,” Pinkie Pie yelled.
“Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said.  “Can you chill it with the rodeo puns?”
“I didn’t mean to,” Pinkie Pie said.  “I just wanted to prove a point.”
“Point taken,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Enough of the arguing,” Trixie yelled.  “Our focus is to get our butts out of here.”
“Trixie’s right,” Starlight said as she saw an exit in front of her.  “We’re almost out of here.  So hang on.”
Starlight ran as fast as possible with the rest of the gang right behind them.  She bolted through the doorway, winding up in the garden area of the School of Friendship.
“We’re almost there,” Starlight yelled.
“Bout time,” Smolder said.  “I can fly some of us out of here.”
But as the entire group made it out into the garden, a number of protesters blocked the exit of the School of Friendship, with some flying in from above.  The entire group stopped in their tracks, and stood there helplessly.
“What in the world?” Gallus said.  “That’s not fair.”
Starlight looked to her left to see Rarity and Applejack emerge from another entrance with Huckleberry by their side.  Behind them was a bigger group of students running from behind.
“Applejack, Rarity,” Starlight said.  “Over here.”
Both groups ran up to the center of the garden as Applejack and Starlight approached.
“Sorry we had to separate on such short notice,” Applejack said.
“Yeah,” Rarity said.  “We had to make sure that every student was accounted for.
“You did the right thing, you two,” Starlight said.  “What matters is that we’re all together.”
“Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news,” Spike said as the mob began to spill out from the doorway behind them.  “But we got company.”
The faculty and students of the School of Friendship crowded together as the mob began to approach the group with extreme prejudice.
“Starlight Glimmer,” One mob member yelled.  “You are charged and convicted of aiding and abetting Twilight Sparkle, along with the rest of these parasites.”
“The punishment,” another mob member said.  “Is the rest of your miserable lives in Tartarus.  This is the will of Neigh Nanners.”
The combined members of the mob group inched closer towards the students and teachers, aiming to get their hooves on them.
“Starlight,” Diamond Tiara cried.  “Where’s your friend when we need 'em the most?”
“She said she was on her way,” Starlight said.  “But now, I'm not so sure about that.  Only a miracle can save us now.”
As one member of the mob was about to lay his hoof on Sandbar, a flash of light emitted from out of nowhere, blasting the mob away from the students and teachers.
“Woah,” Rainbow Dash said.  “Whoever your friend is, he sure knows how to show up.”
“Not a he, Rainbow Dash,” Starlight Glimmer said.  “A she.  And someone I told you and the others about.”
“Wait,” Fluttershy said.  “You don’t mean to tell me.”
When the flash of light disappeared, a figure emerged in the form of Sunset Shimmer, who stood down the mob.
“YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” Sunset Shimmer yelled as her horn glowed.  She smashed her hoof on the ground, creating a shockwave that knocked the mob group that was blocking the entrance aside.
“So this is the Sunset Shimmer that you told us about,” Sandbar said.
“She used to be a villain like me, until Twilight Sparkle turned her life around,” Starlight said.  “Glad this hero’s on our side.”
Sunset turned to the group and said “This way,” as she ran towards the entrance of the School of Friendship, with Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, Juno, Huckleberry, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder holding Diamond Tiara, Yona, Silverstream and the rest of the students following right behind them.  Sunset knocked aside the many mob members as they all ran out of the School of Friendship and towards Ponyville.
“They’re getting away,” one of the Mob members yelled.
But as he was about to run after them, another mob member stopped him.
“Another time,” the mob member said.  “They’ll gather at the castle, and that’s where we’ll take them out.  It is the way of Neigh Nanners.”
“You’re right,” the mobster said.  “It is the way of Neigh Nanners.”

Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer led Starlight Glimmer and the rest of the teachers and students of the School of Friendship through Ponyville.  Though the crowd was huge, the town looked deserted.  Not another soul was present through the entire village.
“Wow,” Gallus said.  “I’ve heard about the problems going on in Ponyville.  But this is something else.”
“Many ponies who enjoyed the peace of Ponyville just got up and left after the mob took over,” Pinkie Pie said.  “We hesitated on getting you all out because we didn’t want you to miss out.  But we were foolish not to end the party sooner.”
“First Cozy Glow turn School of Friendship into her own fortress,” Yona said.  “Then King Sombra returned, and now worst ponies turn Ponyville into ghost town.”
“There’s no use crying over spilled chocolate milk,” Trixie said.  “Getting you all to the train station is our important goal.”
“Are you sure about that?” Ocellus said.  “What if the trains haven’t arrived?  What if they’re gone?”
“Oh I made sure that would happen,” Sunset said.
“Wait,” Silverstream said.  “What do you mean by that?”
Sunset Shimmer gave a wink to Silverstream as the group ran closer to the train station.  Ocellus flew away from the group and into the air.
“Ocellus,” Fluttershy yelled.
“It’s okay,” Sunset said.  “The mad ponies are behind us for now.”
As Ocellus ascended into the air, she looked down and noticed a train sitting on the rails.  Her face beamed with excitement as she flew down towards the rest of the group.
“Sunset,” Ocellus said.  “Did you call for a train to come down here?”
“Actually,” Sunset Shimmer said.  “When I arrived, I had to make sure there was one train left that was about to leave the station, and I convinced the conductor to wait some time before departing.  Even more so, no one has boarded yet.  We’re the last ones out of Ponyville.”
“Smart move, Sunset,” Rainbow Dash said.  “At least we’ll all be out of their hair for the time being.”
The students and teachers ran as fast as they could, all the way up to the train station.  The conductor looked up and saw the entire group before turning his head towards Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer.
“Is that everyone?” The conductor asked.
“It sure is,” Starlight Glimmer said.  “Every student, every teacher from the School of Friendship.”
“Thanks for waiting on all of us,” Sunset Shimmer said.  
“Normally I wouldn’t wait that long for customers,” The conductor said.  “But considering the scenario we’re all in, I’d say it’s fully justified to evacuate the School of Friendship from Ponyville.”
The conductor stepped aside as he turned to the group of students and teachers before he yelled out “ALL ABOARD!”  In a straight and orderly fashion, the students entered the train one by one as the teachers, the Student Six, Juno, Huckleberry, Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer looked back at the School of Friendship and Twilight’s Castle.
“I can’t believe we have to leave Ponyville,” Pinkie Pie said.  “We’ve known this place for a long time, and it’s going to feel sad to be away from home.”
“Don't worry,” Rarity said.  “At least we’ll be safe in Canterlot.”
“Hey, that reminds me,” Rainbow Dash said.  “Applejack, where are your folks?”
But before Applejack could say anything, she heard a voice call out her name.  She turned to her left and saw Big Mac, Granny Smith, Grand Pear, Sugar Belle, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo run up to them.
“Granny Smith?  Big Mac?”  Applejack said.  “I thought yall were outta town by now.”
“We weren’t going to leave you behind, thank you very much,” Granny Smith said.  “After all, we are a family, one hundred percent.”
“Eeyup,” Big Mac said.
As Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo approach the group, they notice Smolder holding a bruised Diamond Tiara in her arms.
“Diamond Tiara?” Apple Bloom said.   “What happened to you?”
Diamond Tiara nodded at Smolder, who released the filly from her grip.  Diamond Tiara landed on her hooves as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo approached her.
“Let’s just say,” Diamond Tiara said.  “I lost my parents in the crowd.”
“Oh no,” Sweetie Belle said.  “And we saw what happened to your home as we were arriving at the train station.”
“Diamond,” Scootaloo said.  “If it makes you feel better, we’ll sit next to you on the train ride to Canterlot.”
Diamond Tiara barely cracked a smile as she said “Thanks you guys.  I’ve been such a rotten pony since we first met.  Had you three not made me realize how wrong I was, I don’t know where I would have been.”
Apple Bloom reached out to Diamond Tiara and gave the little filly a big hug.  Diamond said nothing as she held Apple Bloom close to her.
“Last call,” the conductor yelled.  “All aboard for Canterlot City.”
Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara let go of each other as they, along with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo walked towards the train doorway and got on.
“Big Mac,” Sugar Belle said.  “Do you think we’ll get through these hard times?”
“I don’t know,” Big Mac said.  “I haven’t felt this much despair since ma and pa died.”
“Then we’ll get through this together,” Sugar Belle said.  “As long as I’m by your side, we’ll get through this.”  She then kissed Big Mac on the cheek.
“Thanks Sugar Belle,” Big Mac said.  “I’m glad to have had you by my side.”
With that, Sugar Belle and Big Mac got on the train with Granny Smith and Grand Pear right behind them.
Sunset Shimmer directed her gaze towards the rest of the students along with the teachers and said “It’s time.  Let’s get going.”
With that, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, Juno, Huckleberry, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona and Silverstream got onto the train, one by one, until only the conductor was outside. 
“It’s time,” The conductor said as he walked through the doorway of the train before it shut behind him.
With a small chug, the train began to depart from Ponyville, inching away from the now deserted town.  Starlight Glimmer stuck her head out as she looked back at the village that once welcomed her and gave her a second chance.
“Good bye….Ponyville,” Starlight Glimmer said as a tear fell from her eye.
The train picked up speed, chugging away as fast as possible as it departed Ponyville, making its way towards Canterlot as the sun began to set in the distance.
