Today, down at the Josephine Railway, Liliana was taking both her new coaches Susan and Maryellen with a school excursion group, Claire's class with them for today. Liliana was happy to help out the class, and she was excited to see Claire again.

For Gwen, Austin, Johnny, and Belle, they had a lot of work to do, especially with shunting heavy goods and shunting passenger carriages for the other engines to take on their way. They didn't mind the shunting, but were getting tired more often than normal. It was a lot of work for them all.

Madeline, Shadow, Braedey, and Anna were handling the express trains and fast goods trains, with many passengers and goods coming and going, heading back and forth, all of them smiling and whistling to one another, as they pass by one another. Charlotte also helped out with the passenger services.

Down at Marion Station, Braedey and Charlotte were both taking on water after their long run earlier today. Charlotte also needed her large drive wheels to cool them down after her long runs back and forth.

Just then, Mr. Franklin drove up in his car. He stepped out, and he made his way over to the two engines. "Charlotte. Braedey. I need you two to go and collect someone important down on the Fairy Tail Railway" He began to explain.

"Someone? Who?" Braedey asked in surprise.

"You two will have to wait and see." Mr. Franklin replied back. "I'll also be travelling with you." With that, he walked up and climbed into Braedey's cab.

The two engines looked to one another with curiosity, then with the two whistling in unison, and they headed out of the yards towards the Fairy Tail Railway. It was gonna be a bit of a long run, but for Charlotte, it wasn't too strenuous for her, and she was able to keep up with Braedey.

~*~*~

Down on the Fairy Tail Railway , Kieron sat alone in the workshop, feeling miserable and in pain from what occurred to him. First off, he had broken his safety valve, which had been fixed. Next, he had been talked down by Croghan. And now, his fire bars, steam pipes, and safety valve had burst, as well as his water pipes, and this happened after he pulled Adam down the line.

Kieron stared down at his buffers, still feeling in pain from what had happened. Unfortunately, due to the funds of the railway being utilised to repair the sheds, he wasn't being repaired for now. He did feel bad for what had happened to him.

"Kieron." The GWR 1400 Class 0-4-2T tank engine looked up from his buffers, and he saw lisanna walking up to him.

"Hey, Lisanna  ." Kieron muttered softly. He still wasn't feeling like himself.

"Kieron." Lisanna gently patted the tank engine's buffer-beam. "I know that you aren't feeling the best, but don't worry. Angelise will make sure you are back to steam in no time." She reassured you him. Kieron showed a tiny smile to his driver.

Just then, the sound of two unfamiliar whistles could be heard approaching the railway workshop. Kieron and Blake looked over to see two engines slowly approach the workshop, coming to a stop to reveal Braedey the red GWR 4900 locomotive, and an unfamiliar feminine LB&SCR B1 Class 0-4-2 red tender engine. The two engines smiled at Kieron and lisanna , as they pulled up next to them.

"Greetings." Braedey announced. "I am Braedey, and this is Charlotte. We are of the Josephine Railway."

"Hello, there." Charlotte greeted to them. "You look kinda down."

"Well, Kieron here has had a number of broken parts and such, and unfortunately, the finances have been sent to repair the engine sheds." lisanna explained to the two engines. "So, he won't he repaired."

"Not today." Lisanna  and Kieron watched as Mr. Franklin climbed down from Braedey's cab, and made his way over to the two. He eyed the GWR 1400 Class 0-4-2T engine, taking note of the damage sustained. "Hmm... I see. Broken fire bars, burst safety valve and steam pipes, and burst water pipes." He deduced.

"Oh, there you are, Mr. Franklin." Braedey, Charlotte, Lisanna  , and Kieron looked to see Angelise walking up to them.

"Angelise. Good to see you again." Mr. Franklin smiled, shaking hands with the blonde manager of the Fairy Tail Railway.

"Agreed. It's been some time." Angelise agreed with a nod. She looked to Kieron. "Now, Kieron. Since the money has gone off to repair the sheds, it means I cannot afford to repair you here." She began. "But, on the other hand, I'll be sending you to the Josephine Railway to get repaired and back into steam."

Kieron's eyes widened. "You... you mean it, ma'am?" He asked in surprise.

"Of course, Kieron. I can't have one of my best engines not in service." Angelise nodded. She turned to Lisanna . "And in addition, Lisanna with travel with you as well to the railway. You will be helping out on the Josephine, and after you've gone through some trials, you can come back home."

"Thank you, ma'am. And thank you, sir." Kieron said to Angelise and Mr. Franklin, smiling a bigger smile than before.

"Anything to help out anyone, dear engine." Mr. Franklin turned to Braedey and Charlotte. "You two, you best couple up Kieron, and prepare for the journey ahead. Charlotte, you couple up to Kieron, and Braedey will couple up to Kieron's behind. He will pull, while you push."

Braedey whistled and steamed forward to be turned around, as Charlotte chuffed forward, then reversed up to the GWR 1400 tank engine, her tender coupling up to his front buffers. Once done that, Charlotte pulled Kieron out of the shed, just as Braedey pulled up, now facing the other direction. He switched onto their track, now coupling up to Kieron from behind.

With that, Lisanna climbed into Kieron's cab, with Mr. Franklin jumping up into Braedey's cab. Charlotte and Braedey whistled in unison, with Angelise waving to Kieron and Blake, as the three red locomotives left the yards, heading off to the Josephine Railway.

'I will have to work to juggle the other engines about with Kieron's absence.' Angelise thought to herself.

~*~*~

Back on the Josephine Railway, Braedey and Charlotte arrived with their two passengers, coming to a gentle stop with a hiss of their brakes. Once done so, Braedey was uncoupled from Kieron, with Mr. Franklin jumping down from his cab, and the GWR 4900 locomotive pulled away to get one of his trains ready. Once he was out of the way, Charlotte began to push Kieron down into the workshop.

Mr. Franklin watched as the GWR 1400 tank engine was placed into the workshop, with Blake climbing out of his cab, Charlotte now heading off to get her next train. "Okay, Kieron. While you're here, you'll undergo a heavy overhaul to make sure you're at 100%, with new parts and components, even a new firebox and cab." He explained to Kieron.

Kieron smiled gently to Mr. Franklin, happy that he was getting fixed. "Thank you so much, sir." He said.

"Yes. Thank you." Lisanna bowed her head to the railway controller. "But, what should I do while Kieron is in the workshop?" She asked.

"Since you are Kieron's driver, you can work with some of the other engines here on my railway." Mr. Franklin said to Blake. "I'm sure they won't mind. And it'll be for the week."

"Very well. But, how long for Kieron until he's finished and fixed?" Lisanna asked in concern.

"It could be for a while. But please, don't worry, Miss Lisanna ." Mr. Franklin reassured to Lisanna . "Your engine is in great hands. The mechanics here are the best of their caliber."

Lisanna nodded slowly, then turned to Kieron. He smiled gently to her, and she smiled back. With that, Mr. Franklin lead the woman down to his office to explain about operations of the Josephine Railway, as well as the locomotives. Kieron then decided to get some sleep, best to pass the time while being restored and fixed up.

So, Lisanna decided she would travel about with Charlotte, Liliana, maybe even Diana, when she can get the chance, so she could talk with most of the girl engines. So, Mr. Franklin understood her reasoning, and hoped that Blake meets the other engines. 

The first engine happened to be Diana, the blue Caledonian Railway 812 Class engine. Diana was more than happy to have a new friend, and Blake soon got along with the blue engine. The cat-girl got used to the controls, and she was rather gentle with Diana's levers and controls, much to Diana's surprise, but smiled.

Later on, Lisanna  met Austin, Max, as well as Belle and Johnny, and she made good friends with them all. Braedey and Charlotte were happy to make friends with her, as well as Shadow, Madeline, and Anna. Lisanna  was more than happy to see new faces.

Just then, the stationmaster walked up to Blake and Diana. "Liliana has gone and done it. She's stalled on a hillside. The train of schoolchildren need to get back home before the day is done." He said to them.

Diana smiled in acknowledgement. "We'll do what we can." She looked to Blake. "Come on, Lisanna  . We can't keep them waiting." She said to her.

Lisanna  nodded, and she jumped into Diana's cab. Once onboard, the Caledonian engine steamed out of the yards, heading off down the line. As they went down the line, Blake had to admit, the railway was very lush and green, almost vibrant in colour and calmness. Diana was happy to know Blake was enjoying herself.

Soon, Diana arrived at what was a picnic site, down on a 3% incline. It was a little bit steep, but for Diana, who has sandboxes installed, she's able to cope. Diana pulls up next to Liliana, her coaches Susan and Maryellen coupled behind her, Liliana looking annoyed.

"What's happened?" Diana asked, Lisanna  going to check on the children and the teachers.

"I tried to get going, but I lost traction. The coaches felt too heavy for me, and I couldn't go forward." Liliana explained with a huff. "Man, I should've just stayed home today."

"Well, don't worry. I'll get you down the line." Diana pulled forward, in order to switch tracks and couple up with Liliana.

Lisanna  , meanwhile, talked to the teachers and the students about how she and Diana will help get them home safely. Claire and her friends were happy to hear about the news, and the teachers thankedLisanna  Blake for what she and the railway were doing for them.

Lisanna  then noticed one of her old friends  from her Travellers nearby, much to her surprise. The person was none other than the blonde brawler, Yang Xiao Long.

Yang is a young woman around 20 years of age, with a height of 5ft 8" (1.73 metres). She has fair-skin, with lilac eyes, and bright golden hair that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. Her attire primarily consists of khaki overalls, the gold zipper of which is unzipped just below the breast to reveal a white low-cut cropped tube top. Around the thighs of the overalls is a gold zipper and buckled strap that allows for the pants leg to be detached. The right leg is unzipped but still strapped to the overalls but the lower part is partially folded over. Overtop the coveralls, she has on a baggy, dark brown crop aviator-style jacket with fur trim around the neck, and black-and-orange straps along the sleeves. Around her waist is a black-and-orange belt with black-and-yellow folded fabric on the sides, which runs behind her with a pouch attached to it and a golden buckle of her emblem. She also has on dark brown knee-high boots with black laces and top trim. For accessories, she has an orange scarf around her neck, and a purple scarf around her right leg. She also has a black/brown strap with golden trim and a pouch wrapped around her left thigh. Yang also has yellow and black socks with her emblem on them. 

"Lisanna  ..." Yang spoke out in surprise. She didn't expect to come across her friend out here.

"Yang..." Lisanna  spoke softly, the blonde looking to her.

Yang, who's staring at Lisanna  , looked side to side. Now realising that she is the one Blake is looking at, Yang posed awkwardly and waved to her. "Uh, sorry. Just not used to the new hair yet." She apologised.

Lisanna   self-consciously brushed her hair back. "Is it... bad?"

"No! No. It's good. Great, even!" Yang reassured to her friend. She then walked up to her. "So, what brings you out here?" She asked.

Lisanna  soon explained about what had happened to Kieron, and that he's being repaired at the workshop on the Josephine Railway. "So, what brings you out here, exactly?" She asked to her blonde friend.

"Well, I got a call from one of the teachers saying they needed someone to help watch over the kids." Yang explained to her. "So, I took the opportunity, and I was more than happy to help."

"Well, we'd best get the children onboard." Lisanna  said to her friend.

So, Lisanna  and Yang began to help out the teachers with getting the children onboard the coaches. As this happened, Diana pulled up in front of Liliana, coupling up to the green tank engine. Once done that, Blake and Yang climbed onboard Diana's cab, the blue engine whistling out, Liliana whistling after her, and Diana began to pull away, pulling her friend and the coaches down the line.

The children onboard were more than happy to be heading back home, Claire smiling with her friends. Yang and Lisanna  were working together in Diana's cab, the two of them working well as a duo, especially since their time at Beacon Academy, and they were making their way down the line at speed, the engines going along at speed.

Soon enough, the two engines pulled up at the main station. Lisanna  and Yang were happy to be working together again, the blonde brawler going to take care of the kids. Lisanna  then saw Claire, and she waved to her, Claire waving back to her.

Penny the Bus was down at the station carpark, planning to take the kids to town to take them home.

Penny is an AEC Regal "T Class" London Country Area bus. The bus is painted in the common red livery of buses in the United Kingdom, mostly famously used by London Transport. Her number plate read JXC288.

She honked her horn happily seeing Diana and Liliana, as well as the schoolchildren. Blake was happy to see her friend again, and she hoped to see her again.

All the while, with Kieron, he was undergoing the repairs, although it was going to take a while for the repairs to be finished. So, Lisanna  will be working with the other engines, but every now and then, she'd go and check and see how he's going. She did feel bad seeing Kieron in this state, but she is sure that Kieron will be back in steam in no time.
