As Roger, and Anthony were leaving the station, Anthony had an idea.

Anthony: Why don't we get Nikki to come with us? She's still on vacation, and it doesn't end until the 2nd of January.
Roger: January? Which January?
Anthony: Ugh... 1957!
Roger: What 년 is it now?
Anthony: Are 당신 serious?
Roger: No. I want to know.
Anthony: *Sighs* Okay, as 당신 know, Nikki has a four 월 vacation, which started a few days ago. I told 당신 it would end in January the second, 1957. Does this help you?
Roger: So this 년 is....
Anthony: 1956!!
Roger: Okay, 당신 didn't have to shout! Anyway, why do we need Nikki with us? We're the only ones that know about Duke's whereabouts.
Anthony: Two reasons. It would be easier to find him, and.. The More, The Merrier.
Roger: Fine, let's get her. Only 질문 is, where could she be?

To answer their question, Nikki was buying new tires for Meadow's Lightningbird. She wanted to take care of Meadow's car while she was away.

A song was playing: link

Nikki: So, how much is this gonna cost?
Mechanic: About $90.
Nikki: Ninety dollars? That's too much for me.
Roger: *Arrives with Anthony* But we'll help pay for it.
Nikki: All I have is fifty.
Anthony: And we have forty.
Mechanic: Very well. Hand it over.
Nikki: Thanks 당신 two. *Takes forty dollars, and gives mechanic fifty dollars*
Mechanic: Thanks. I'll get them installed soon.
Anthony: Take your time, because the three of us are going on a vacation.
Mechanic: Okay, have fun.

The three ponies left the bodyshop.

Nikki: What did 당신 mean 의해 vacation?
Roger: We need your help.
Anthony: 당신 see, there's an old stallion that worked on a railway with us twenty one years 이전 in Germaneigh.
Roger: And we want to bring him back here to work with us on our railway.
Anthony: Can 당신 help us?
Nikki: Well, I might as well since 당신 helped pay for the tires on my sister's car.
Anthony: Splendid.
Roger: Let's get going. First, we will take a plane to London. From there, we'll take the eurotrain going underground, into Maris France. Then, we get on another plane, and we get to Duke's house in Oden.
Nikki: Oden?
Anthony: Our old railway wasn't that big, but we brought goods to other ponies living there.
Roger: As well as giving them rides.
Nikki: Interesting. Let's go.
