Hawkeye's Party

August 25, 1956

At 6:55 AM, most of the ponies were heading to work at the Cheyenne train station.

Hawkeye: *Walking while looking at station*
Stylo: It seems pretty quiet.
Jeff: Maybe because most ponies don't take the train during this time of the morning.
Passenger: Excuse me. I have to get to my train which is leaving in five minutes.
Hawkeye: What a coincedence, we start work here in five minutes.
Pete: *Opens door to office* Pierce, Stylo, come in here.
Hawkeye: We're on our way father. *Walks to office*
Stylo: *Following Hawkeye*

As the two stallions arrived in Pete's office, they saw Coffee Creme, Gordon, Orion, and Metal Gloss.

Hawkeye: *Sits down 다음 to Gordon* This must be important if Gordon is here.
Gordon: What's that supposed to mean?!
Stylo: *Sits 다음 to Hawkeye* Whatever 당신 want it to mean.
Pete: I called 당신 all here, because you're all engineers, and 또는 fireponies. I have something I want to tell you. We have been replacing 더 많이 steam engines in favor of diesel. As of now, all of our diesel engines have radios in them. 당신 may talk to each other while 당신 drive your trains, but don't let this affect your working performance.
Hawkeye: Sure.
Stylo: Wouldn't think of it.
Coffee Creme: I will be responsible with the radio.
Gordon: Me too.
Orion: There's a first.
Metal Gloss: I won't let 당신 down sir.
Pete: Good, now get to work. Pierce, and Stylo, the both of 당신 will take a freight train into Denver. Coffee Creme, you'll be driving an oil powered steam engine with a passenger train into North Platte. Gordon, I want 당신 to take a GP9 diesel with a short freight over Sherman Hill, and into a gasoline depot. Orion, and Metal Gloss, you'll take engine 3985 with a freight train into Laramie. Get to work.

Then, everypony left Pete's office, and started getting ready for work.

Ike: *Arrives* Hi everypony.
Hawkeye: You're late.
Ike: Yeah, I know. I had to stop to get gas for my car.
Hawkeye: Right, Pete told us that all of our diesels have radios.
Ike: I can listen to 음악 while driving a train?
Stylo: 당신 could, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Ike: Ah, so I can talk to everypony driving other trains.
Hawkeye: Yep.
Ike: Okay, I'm gonna go see Pete. *Walks to Pete's office*
Hawkeye: 당신 know what I was thinking?
Stylo: What?
Hawkeye: I wanted to throw a party at my house. We'll use the radio on our train to invite everypony. Tonight at 8 PM.
Stylo: Looking 앞으로 to it.

When Hawkeye, and Stylo got to their train, they saw Wilson, and Snowflake.

Hawkeye: I'm having a party at my house tonight at 8, and you're invited.
Wilson: Thanks Pierce. I just hope it's better than those parties we had in the Korean War.
Hawkeye: Thankfully I wasn't in the Korean War, so I wouldn't know what 당신 were talking about.
Stylo: Guess what.
Snowflake: What?
Stylo: Party at Hawkeye's at 8 tonight, and you're invited.
Snowflake: Thanks.
Stylo: Make sure 당신 tell Percy, and Jeff when 당신 see them.
Hawkeye: Stylo, Wilson says we can go now.
Stylo: On my way. *Runs to train*
Snowflake: *Sees Percy, and Jeff arriving*
Hawkeye: Wait a minute, Percy, and Jeff-
Stylo: Don't worry, Snowflake is going to tell them.
Percy: Mornin' Snowflake.
Snowflake: Hey. Hawkeye says he has a message for you.
Jeff: Oh yeah? What?
Snowflake: There's a party. (Oh, I forgot!!) Umm
Percy: Where's the party?
Snowflake: At Pierce's house.
Jeff: When is the party?
Snowflake: *Trying to remember* 7!
Percy: Okay
Snowflake: No, 6!
Jeff: *Confused*
Snowflake: 5! 4! 3!
Percy: Make up your mind!
Snowflake: 2! 1! BLASTOFF!!

Then suddenly, Snowflake's yard tower shot up in the air, and had jet engines taking up into space.

Wilson: She meant to say that the party was at 8, tonight.
Jeff: Well, thank 당신 Wilson. At least somepony here can remember things.

Meanwhile, on Hawkeye's train.

Hawkeye: *Talking into radio* Hey, anypony available to have a conversation?
Ike: Hawkeye? It's me, Ike.
Hawkeye: Hello. Listen, I'm having a party at my house tonight at 8. You're invited.
Ike: Oh cool!
Gordon: Hey, did I hear somepony say party at Pierce's?
Hawkeye: Yes, and you're not invited.
Gordon: Why not?!
Stylo: *Talks into radio* Because nopony likes you.
Gordon: *Screaming for no reason*
Mirage: Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but are 당신 having a party?
Hawkeye: Yup, tonight at 8. My house.
Mirage: Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Hawkeye: Thanks a lot. *Puts speaker back on radio*
Stylo: Okay, let's see here. We got Wilson, Snowflake, Ike, Percy, Jeff, and Mirage.
Hawkeye: If only frenchy, Orion, and Metal Gloss were driving diesels. We could talk to them on this radio, and tell them.
Hawkeye: You're right. I need to buy some things for the party. Can 당신 tell them at 7, when we go home.
Stylo: I'll try. Maybe I might get Pete to 가입하기 as well.
Hawkeye: Okay.

So it was arranged. Hawkeye bought food, drinks, decorations, and 음악 for the party, while Stylo told Metal Gloss, Coffee Creme, and Orion about the party.

8 PM, the party just started at Hawkeye's house, and everypony was having a good time.

Hawkeye: *Turns on record player* Okay everypony, let's get some 음악 going on in here.

Coffee Creme: Little Richard!
Hawkeye: Correct. Get some food, and dance!
Stylo: *Eating pretzels*
Jeff: *Eating hotdog*
Mirage: *Dancing with Coffee Creme*
Percy: *Drinking soda*
Gordon: *Enters house* How dare 당신 dance with my special somepony!
Hawkeye: 저기요 Gordon, who invited you?
Stylo: No one.
Hawkeye: So get out of here!
Gordon: No! I'm gonna party, and I'm gonna do it now! *Jumps onto snack table, and eats all of the potato chips*
Stylo: Wow.
Hawkeye: And that's why nopony invited him.

After the party ended, it was 10 O' clock in the night.

Hawkeye: Okay everypony, I got a lot of sleeping bags, so let's grab some shut eye.
Snowflake: What about our work?
Hawkeye: No thank you, I prefer to be awake.
Stylo: *Setting up alarm clock* We'll wake up at 6, I assure you.
Snowflake: Okay.

Two hours later, it was midnight. A thunderstorm started, and nopony could get some sleep.

Metal Gloss: What we need is a story.
Stylo: Yeah. A mysterious story.
Mirage: But, it must have a happy ending.
Hawkeye: I got a good story.
Coffee Creme: Let's hear it.
Hawkeye: Once upon a time in 1935, there were three ponies that lived in Germaneigh, and ran their own railway.

Hawkeye begins to narrate for this part of the episode.

There names were Duke, Richard, and Steven. Duke was the oldest, and was named after his grace, the Duke of Germaneigh. He was proud of this, and loved to keep the other two in order. Whenever the Duke saw the other two doing something wrong, he would say...

Richard: *Driving train*
Steven: *Driving another train*
Richard: *Crashes into Roger's train*
Duke: 당신 really shouldn't do that! It would never suit his grace!

Other ponies came, and went, but Duke outlasted them all. Richard, and Steven used to call him Grandpa. They liked Duke, but they got very tired about hearing the stories of his grace. Sometimes they teased him.

Duke: *Stops train to refuel*
Steven: Ponies come, and ponies go.
Richard: Grandpa goes on forever!
Steven & Richard: *Laughing*
Duke: 당신 little scallywags! Whatever are young ponies coming to?
Steven: Nevermind Grandpa, we're only young once.
Duke: Well 당신 better mind, unless 당신 want to end up like Greaser.
Richard: Oh Grandpa!
Steven: Whatever happened?
Duke: Greaser was British, and very arrogant. He drove his trains fast, and often derailed them. I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice.

A few months ago

Greaser: *Standing 의해 train*
Duke: 당신 constantly drive too fast on sharp turns. 당신 need to go slower.
Greaser: Listen Dukey! In the United Kingdom, we don't care for a few train wrecks.
Duke: We do here.
Greaser: Ha ha ha ha ha!

A few months later

Duke: Then one day, our boss said he was going to be useful at last. Greaser stopped laughing then.
Richard: W-w-why?
Steven: What did he do?
Duke: He fired Greaser, and had him work at a nearby retirement home. He still works there to this very day. He'll never drive a train again.

After that, Richard, and Steven did their work properly, and all three ponies worked together happily for many years.

Then, hard times came. The mines on their railway closed. Then the entire railway shut down. Other ponies came to hire Richard, and Steven, but no one wanted Duke. They thought he was too old.

Duke: *Sitting 의해 shed*
Richard: Don't worry grandpa. We'll find another railroad in the United States, then have 당신 work with us. 당신 can keep us in order there.
Steven: Good idea.

They tried to be brave, and cheerful, but nopony believed it would be true.

Duke was on his own now.

Duke: *Goes in shed* I'm going to miss this place. *Goes out of shed* I better get home.

As he got there, he couldn't find anything to entertain himself.

Duke: Oh well, I'll go to sleep. It'll help to pass the time. *Uses magic to have himself fall asleep without being interrupted*

His house was near a hill. Winter storms washed soil from the hills, to his house. Trees, and bushes grew all around. 당신 wouldn't have known a house was there, let alone an old 조랑말 sleeping inside.

Stylo: That's not a happy ending!
Hawkeye: Oh there will be, but the storm just stopped, and we need some sleep. I'll continue the story later.

The End

On the 다음 episode of Ponies On The Rails

The story of Duke continues.
