Brian looks at me in interest.
Brian: "interesting....." he starts to walk away.
John: "wait! Wait!" Brian fades off to the distance.
John: "Wait!" It was a struggle to get to him at the same speed, the snow kept making me slow and weak.
John: "Agh! This is all a dream!" I put my head in the snow.
John: "wake up Lennon! Wake up!" I put my head back up and get up and see Brian coming back. He had a headlight on and equipment for skiing....SKIING?!
Brian: "wake up kid!" Yes!
Brian: "climb on my shoulders!" He grabs my hand and carries me on his shoulders.
Brian: "we have no time to waste!" He started walking with the help of his equipment.
Brian: "we have to get the train to go down hill so we can get there faster"
John: "down hill?"
Brian: "Yes!" He kept on walking and walking. He stops and notices the train going up.
Brian: "we're getting to the hump kid!" I was nervous as hell. The wind blew hard and made me fall. I grab onto the light for the train.
Brian: "come on kid! We're close!" He gets a stick and I grab it tightly. He moves the stick back to him, making me fly. I screamed. I got on front of him and the equipment underneath made me stay still. The train started going down. We started skiing down each train car. It was fascinating! I kept on screaming. We both notice a pile of coal in the next train car.
Brian: "Alright kid, when I say jump, you JUMP!" Brian started fading away. I did what I was told and jumped on the pile of coal while screaming. I rolled onto the floor from the pile of coal. I fell on my face. I started getting up. I saw Paul sitting on the driver seat of the train.
John: "Paul! I thought you got thrown off the train! Now you're driving it?!"
Paul: "they put me in charge! The engineers are fixing the lights." I look out from the window two men, one with blonde hair and blue eyes. The other with an brown Afro and brown eyes. They both were having trouble with the head lights. The blonde hair guy almost dropped it but catches it without falling from the help of the brown eyed guys puffy hair. The Afro guy yelled. I asked Paul.
John: "How do you know how?!"
Paul: "it's easy!" He showed me all the buttons and controls which made me confused.
Paul: "and that rope on top, is the whistle" I look at him with a grin.
John: "the whistle?" He nods. I pulled the whistle and you could hear it! I giggled. Suddenly I could hear the brown eye guy yell. Paul and I looked and see we're getting close to caribou's!.......
