Sending A Letter, again

January 1, 1953

At Hawkeye's house near the Cheyenne Union Station

Hawkeye: *Writing* Dear Father, I know it's been nearly two weeks since I sent you my last letter, but I want to wish you a happy new year. Did you enjoy christmas? I sure did. In case you want to hear about it.....

December 24, 1952

....Here's how it went. Metal Gloss, and I were talking to each other when Pete came for a meeting.

Pete: Gather around everypony.
Workers: *Gather around*
Pete: Tomorrow is a special day. I want Pierce, and Coffee Creme to go to Denver to get a freight to bring here.
Hawkeye: What's in the train?
Pete: Wait, and see. It's a surprise.
Coffee Creme: Ooh. I amor surprises.
Pete: Honey, you go with Metal Gloss to St. Foalis, and deliver a passenger train.
Metal Gloss: I won't let you down.
Honey: *Salutes*
Pete: Percy, and Jeff. I need you two to maintain our engines in the servicing facility.
Percy: We'll do our best.
Pete: Bartholomew, I'll let you try to be conductor again. You can be on Metal Gloss' train to St. Foalis.
Bartholomew: With pleasure sir.
Pete: Orion, you're going all the way to Chicagoat. The Pennsylvania railroad needs mais fuel for their engines, and we're to deliver it to them.
Orion: Ok.
Pete: Snowflake, you know what you're doing.
Snowflake: Yup.
Pete: Gordon, I got a special job for you.
Gordon: Yes?
Pete: Work in the yards.
Gordon: No. I want to get that special train that Hawkeye is supposed to get.
Pete: Hawkeye, is that alright with you?
Hawkeye: No, I don't want natal to be ruined por the scrooge here.
Gordon: Hey, who are you calling a scrooge?
Pete: That's enough. Gordon, go work in the yards.
Gordon: *Sighs* Yes sir. *walks to train yard*
Hawkeye: Well, this is going good so far.

Near the yards

Gordon: I cannot let Hawkeye take that train. It should be my job.

Hawkeye, and Coffee Creme got to their train, while Gordon was planning to sneak in.

Coffee Creme: *Shoveling coal*
Snowflake: *Turns signal green*
Gordon: *Climbs into cab*
Coffee Creme: What are you doing?
Gordon: Taking over.
Hawkeye: You're supposed to work in the yards.
Gordon: Not anymore *Pushes Hawkeye out of engine* natal is my favorito time of day, but I never get anything special. That will all change. *Drives engine*
Coffee Creme: Hawkeye, run!
Hawkeye: *Runs towards engine* I don't think I'll make it!
Coffee Creme: You gotta make it!
Hawkeye: *Sighs* Ok. I will *gets on ladder to freight car*
Gordon: Who were you talking to?
Coffee Creme: No one.
Gordon: Good, now keep shoveling.
Coffee Creme: *Shoveling coal* I hope this doesn't go as bad as your thanksgiving with Honey.
Gordon: Thanksgiving was great. I shot a turkey's head off.
Coffee Creme: *Looks out to scenery* I wonder if this train would be moving fast enough for me to jump off, and die.

Meanwhile at the station

Snowflake: Pete, we got a problem.
Pete: What is it?
Snowflake: It's Gordon. He took off in Hawkeye's train.
Pete: What the fuck? I told him not too.
Snowflake: Well, he did anyway.
Pete: We better find a way to get Gordon out.
Snowflake: I think I saw Pierce climb on one of the cars.
Pete: That's good. Now he just needs to get into the locomotive. From there he can stop the train, and get Gordon out. Then, from there Percy, and Jeff will arrive in a truck. Then, from there, Percy, and Jeff can take Gordon back to the train yard.
Snowflake: Then what happens.
Pete: Then, from there Gordon can get back to work, and get suspended until new year's day.
Snowflake: An interesting way of putting things.

Back to the train

Hawkeye: *Climbs onto tender*
Coffee Creme: *sees Hawkeye*
Gordon: What are you looking at?
Coffee Creme: The coal supply. I just want to make sure we have enough.
Gordon: We have enough you fool. Watch for any red signals. *goes towards tender*
Coffee Creme: Where do you think you're going.
Gordon: That isn't your concern. *Gets to topo, início of train* Alright Hawkeye. Jump off.
Hawkeye: No.
Gordon: I'm sure you'd be mais comfortable on the ground, then on here freezing your bunda off.
Hawkeye: Well, if you think you could freeze your bunda off on here, why don't you jump off?
Gordon: Because I have to drive the train.
Hawkeye: Oh no, that's my job. Don't worry, I'll help you off the train *Pushes Gordon off*
Gordon: No!! *Falls on ground* Uuuugh *Moving legs* I'm alive? I'm alive!! Woo hoo!! *Standing up* I'm alive- ow, ok that hurts *Lays down on ground* Well, so much for getting that special from Denver. I wonder what it is anyway.

Percy, and Jeff were driving alongside the tracks in a truck. They soon saw Gordon.

Percy: Of course. Napping on the job.
Gordon: No, I broke my legs.
Jeff: Too bad. We're taking you back to the station.
Gordon: Aw, damnit!

Two hours later in Denver

Workers: *Loading train*
Hawkeye: *Looking at boxes getting loaded into train* What are in the boxes?
Workers: You'll find out tomorrow at the Cheyenne train station.
Hawkeye: Ok.
Coffee Creme: *Waiting in cab*
Hawkeye: I better get going. *returns to engine*

Meanwhile in Cheyenne

Pete: That was a very retarded thing for you to do.
Gordon: I don't give a fuck.
Pete: You are suspended from work until new year's day.
Gordon: Whatever. *walks away*
Percy: He's always getting suspended, isn't he?
Pete: Yep.
Jeff: Well, we're going to get back to the servicing facility, and work on the engines.
Pete: Good for you. At least somepony actually cares about their work.

Two mais hours later

Hawkeye: *Stops train at station*
Pete: How did it go?
Hawkeye: Good. Everything you asked for is all set.
Pete: Alright. Let's get everything out of the train then.
Workers: *Getting boxes out of train*
Pete: Are you excited to know what's in there?
Hawkeye: Yeah, I really want to know.
Pete: Well, I'll tell you guys tomorrow.
Coffee Creme: Ok.
Pete: You've got no mais work to do for now, why don't we play poker?
Hawkeye: Sounds good to me.
Pete: I'll make an announcement. *Walks to his office*
Hawkeye: *Sits on bench*
Pete: *Speaking in microphone* Attention, anypony that wishes to play poker may meet me in my office.

8 minutos later, Pete, Hawkeye, Coffee Creme, Percy, and Jeff were playing poker. So far, Percy had mais money then anyone.

Percy: Ok, one mais round.
Hawkeye: How about mais then one round? I'm nearly bankrupt here.
Percy: Maybe you guys can play mais then one round, but I'm not. I am tired, and want to go home.
Pete: Alright, I'll deal this time *dealing cards*
Coffee Creme: *Counting money* Percy has fifteen dollars, Pete has fifty bits, I have four dollars, Pierce has eight dollars, and Jeff has one dollar, and fifty bits.
Pete: *Finishes dealing cards* Alright, who's going to take cards?
Coffee Creme: trois s'il vous plaît
Pete: What?
Coffee Creme: Don't you speak french? I said three please.
Pete: My mistake *Gives Coffee creme three cards*
Hawkeye: Dos por favor.
Pete: Si. *gives Hawkeye two cards*
Coffee Creme: Oh, you understand spanish, but not french?
Pete: I know a lot of languages.
Percy: Keine Karten
Pete: No cards for Percy.
Coffee Creme: What was that?
Percy: German.
Pete: Jeff, how many?
Jeff: Just one.
Pete: Ok, *gives Jeff one card* And I will take three *takes three cards* Let's start betting.
Coffee Creme: I'll go all in.
Hawkeye: All in? She put in four dollars, so I might as well too *Put in four dollars*
Jeff: I'll have to go all in as well *Puts $1.50 in*
Percy: You're going to regret doing that *Puts four dollars in*
Pete: *Puts fifty bits in* Alright, show your cards.
Coffee Creme: Full house of tens, and queens.
Hawkeye: Full house of kings, and queens.
Jeff: Aw fiddlesticks. Only three of a kind.
Percy: Four of a kind, and they're all aces.
Pete: You might've won every round so far, but this one is all mine. Royal flush.
Hawkeye: How is that possible?
Pete: Good instincts. Now, it's time for us to go home.

seguinte morning, when everypony arrived at the station, it was decorated in natal lights, and a sign hung from the roof saying Merry Christmas.

Hawkeye: Oh, I get it. Those decorations were in the boxes that we brought over here.
Coffee Creme: They're so magnificent.
Pete: What do you think?
Hawkeye: It's beautiful sir. It really is.

January 1, 1953

Hawkeye: *Finishing up letter* None of us got any presents, but we didn't care. Those decorations were amazing, we were together, and Gordon was suspended from work.

Your son, Pierce Hawkins.
