Alice steams out.

kj. Alice where you heading.

no answer.

Noah. weird i know shes shy but at least she could something.

Justin. agreed.

SAM. shes just nervous Rodger will be like brick since brick left a bad look on new engines for her.

Rodger. i'm sure once she calms down shell see new arrivals different.

meanwhile

Alice. why would he bring a new engine here after what happened with brick.

Aldon. something on your mind Alice.

Alice. yeah i'm just a little uh whats the word i'm looking for.

alodn skeptical.

Alice. yes skeptical, im like that around Rodger since hes the newest arrival.

aldon. you weren't like this when i was saved or when Jeff arrived.

Alice. you were saved fro scrap which i always welcome saved engines, and Jeff well im not saying.

aldon. o k.

the next day

(loud american whistle)

every one. what the frick.

Rodger. sorry did i wake y'all.

Alice. yes you did, you probably did it on purpose.

Rodger. no i didn't im just excited for my first day and i could help but whistle, i haven't ran in 12 years.

Alice. yeah right.

Sam. Alice that's enough it was an accident ok, i know you still dont trust him but give him a chance you might like him

alice. fine.

Sam. thank you.

a few days later.

Sam. well Alice hasn't changed much

J.R. at least shes not being rude.

Sam. true.

Rodger. theirs gotta be some way for her to trust me, i dont like being on bad terms

kovac. im sure the time will come

but that time was sooner then expected.

the next morning alice awoke to find her brakes were weak, she didst tell anyone thought which was a big mistake.

she soon was pulling the green rose and was about to stop at the station when CRACK. her brakes broke and she was now a runaway.

Alice. HELP.

luckily Rodger saw this and rushed to save.

Rodger. dont worry Alice i got you.

there was one small problem thought.

Rodger had different couplings. so he would have to go in front

Rodger. Alice i got to go in front.

Alice. why.

Rodger we have different couplings.

Alice. weren't you fitted with new ones.

Rodger. you controller kept them since my carriages have the same couplers as me so switching them out would be pointless.

Alice. well clearly there not pointless.

rodger. oh shoot.

alice. what

rodger. you heading straight for the chocolate facotry.

rodger knew what to do he switched to roses line and braked hard.

BUMP.

Alice. OUCH

Rodger. sorry, brakes driver.

with one final screech they stopped.

Alice. thank you for saveing me Rodger.

Rodger. well if i didn't do something your train would need to be renamed the chocolate rose.

Alice chuckles.

Alice. im sorry for being rude.

Rodger. its fine dont worry about it.

another engine cam to take the train away and roger pushed Alice to the works where the controller was waiting.

the controller. Rodger what you did today showed me why i bought you, an engine who goes out there way to save others it a true engine in my books, as a reward you get the day off tomorrow

rodger. thanks sir.

ffrom then on alice knew that not all engines are bad if you give them a chance

the end
