Arc of The Rails

Chapter #2: Another day working

On Earth at the Island of Sodor of Europe of UK

The day was June 25, 2009

Jaune awake after the alarm clock, he stretched his arms, bones, popping and cracking. Stretching them ready for another day of work on the railroad. 

As Jaune Arc was getting one of your first daily routine went to the bathroom of his apartment. Luckily it was clean and tidy brushing his teeth and also rinsing his mouth while also washing his face with soap. 

Jaune: (to himself) another day at working on the island of Sodor...

Jaune Arc finished using the restroom with the kitchen, making his own breakfast. Sunny set up well. Also pouring a glass of orange juice. 

Jaune: (sipping on the glass of juice) I wonder when exactly assignment will be on the railroad...?

After finishing his breakfast, Jaune glanced at the clock on the wall. It was time to get moving. He cleaned up his dishes, an almost automatic act by now, and then grabbed his small backpack. It contained his favorite book about steam engines, a notebook for jotting down ideas or sketches, and a small snack for later.

Jaune: (grinning) Alright, let's see what adventures await today!

Stepping outside, Jaune inhaled the fresh morning air, filled with the scents of grass and blooming flowers. The sun shone brightly over Sodor, casting a warm glow over the island. As he walked toward the railway yard, he couldn't shake the excitement that bubbled within him. Each day was a chance to learn something new, to help others, and to prove that he could be a hero too.

As he approached the yard, he could see Wilbert, the blue Bagnall 0-4-0ST, resting on the tracks, his boiler gently steaming. The little engine looked cheerful as Jaune approached, his blue paint glistening under the sunlight.

Wilbert: (enthusiastically) Morning, Jaune! Ready for another day of work?

Jaune: (beaming) Absolutely! What do we have lined up today?

Justin, the blue car approached the yard out came Sir topham hatt approaching the two ready to give them the assignment for today.

Sir topham hatt: Mr. Arc, it's certainly seems you're finally already for your assignment..

Jaune: (to Sir topham hatt) It's good to see you today, Sir topham hatt.. What is our assignments for today..

Sir topham hatt: Right, your first assignment is going to the docs to get a crate of fish to be delivered to nearby towns, the second assignment is to get cold at Ffarquar station And the final assignment is to deliver scrap to the scrap yard. 

When Sir topham hatt said the final words going to the scrap yard It's made Wilbert uneasy almost made him shake a little bit sheepishly. 

Jaune: (to Sir topham hatt) Well thank you so much for giving us the assignment.

Sir topham hatt: could always be really useful on the railway!!

As Sir topham hatt getting inside of his car and driving off.

Jaune: Okay Wilbert let's get ready..

Wilbert: Yeah sure. as much as we can actually complete our jobs instead of going to that scrap yard..

Jaune: I'm guessing steam engines like you are not fond with the scrap yard..

Wilbert: you have no idea.... it's like more like a terrifying place...

Jaune: (curious) Really? What makes it so scary?

Wilbert: (hesitating) Well, it's not just the sight of old, broken engines lying around. It's the stories, Jaune. They say that some engines never leave the scrap yard. They just... fade away, forgotten.
