At The Big Station, a carnival had arrived. The engines found passenger traffic increasing, and the weather grew hotter.

It was rare for the crews to do something as a group, but with the carnival, The Fat Controller organised for all his workers to go one evening, for a relaxing night of fun. The crews all liked this.

"It's a good way to unwind!"

Douglas' driver smiled.

"Plus, it's bringing people together."

Donald's driver added.


One of the stands was a bottle throwing game. It was simple, yet difficult, you'd have to throw some small rings around the bottles, and the more you got, the better your prizes would be. The holy grail of them all was a gigantic stuffed teddy bear, one that you could practically get inside off... wait no.

Evelyn, Kermit's engineer, just so happened to spot it. Her eyes lit up like a christmas tree!

"I want that one!"

She almost bubbled over with excitement, at the idea of having this random stuffed bear she'd inevitably make into a dorm joke.

"You're twenty-one."

Velvet, Rodger's guard grumbled.

"Why would you need something so... unsightly?"

"Why do you have so much Pokemon merch then!"

Evelyn replied, before turning back to the stand.

"And anyway! I'll make him my son... Plus, it would be very funny."

She stowled over, without much thought. Everyone else watched, as she tired to win it. But she failed. She tried again, and again, and again. But she never won it. By the time the carnival was closing, she was no closer to winning the prize of her new obsession.

"But I've played so much!"

She pouted to the grumpy employee.

"Can't I just have it."

"You have to win it fair and square."

The employee replied, without a care for anyone else but himself.

"Those are the rules."

"Can't you make an exception?"

Douglas driver asked.

"She has been here for hours. She could've brought it by now."

But the prick wouldn't budge. Evelyn left, feeling defeated.


She was still unhappy the next morning.

"Can't I go back and try to win it?"

She begged her co-workers.

"I'm sorry, but not with the workload we've got."

Lola, the driver replied. This only made Evelyn feel worse. She tried her hardest to make it each day, but either she was too busy, or the park was closer. She became very upset.

"She's never been like this."

Douglas driver sighed.

"I know it's just a short fixation, but it's still sad to watch."

Jevin's stoker considered the case.

"I mean, not like we could win it. The place is a trap for cash."

"That's true... if only..."

Suddenly, Douglas' driver had an idea.

"Hey, Itsuka. Can I ask a favour?"

Jevin's stoker nodded in agreement.

"If we go up ourselves, and play for a while, we should get it, right?"

"It's the best chance you've got, I suppose."

She admitted. Thankfully, when Evelyn returned home, Kermit was sent to cover the Condor, leaving the two engine crews the perfect chance to sneak away.


They played for hours, until, at last.

"Got it!"

Douglas' driver shouted! The very stoned worker groggily handed over the now very sought-after bear, and the two quickly retreated for home.


The next morning. Evelyn awoke, to find someone sat at her desk.

"Who the fuck?"

She yawned, before rubbing her eyes. When she opened them again, she couldn't believe it! The stuffed bear she had been dreaming about was now sat in her reach! A small note was stuck to the bear's oversized head, reading.

"Hope this makes your beautiful smile return. ~Hunter."

Evelyn beamed!

"I'll treasure it forever!"

And so, she did. Or at least currently is. The bear has become a mascot of the dorms we live in. it's very soft, and everyone loves to have it around, even if it's a joke prop. Evelyn treats it very well, and always makes sure it's clean. Although, I must say, last night, I did see it sat in a way where it looked like it was sucking its own dick... Yes, we do all think it's very funny.
