The volgende day, the station was all set up for the party. Everypony was there to celebrate, except Jeff. He was on his way back to Cheyenne from St. Foalis.

Zack: *Arrives at station* Hola everypony.
Ponies: Hey. *Cheering*
Metal Gloss: Zack, I'm so glad u could make it. Let me introduce u to some of the ponies I work with.
Zack: Sure.
Metal Gloss: This is Stylo.
Stylo: And if you're wondering, the last name is Bevaria.
Zack: Nice to meet u Stylo.
Metal Gloss: This is my boss Pete.
Pete: I arranged this whole party for u when Metal Gloss told me about u getting out of jail.
Zack: Thank u Pete.
Metal Gloss: This is Orion Stardust.
Orion: *Salutes* At your service sir.
Zack: Thank you.
Metal Gloss: This is one of the ponies that fix track, named Percy.
Percy: There's another pony that works with me, but he's not here.
Metal Gloss: Here's another pony, named Snowflake.
Snowflake: How do u do?
Zack: Fine thank you.
Metal Gloss: And this is my special somepony, Pierce Hawkins.
Hawkeye: But everypony calls me Hawkeye.
Zack: Really? Why is that?
Hawkeye: I don't know. I think it's because my last name sounds so similar to it.
Coffee Crème: Hey, aren't u forgetting two ponies?!
Metal Gloss: Oh yeah, that's Frenchy, and the fat unicorn nopony cares about.
Gordon: Hey! Everypony cares about me!
Hawkeye: The minuut u actually do your work right, let us all know. Then, we'll start to care about you.
Pete: Enough chit chat, let's get this party started. *Turns on record player*

Ponies: *Dancing with each other*
Zack: *Sees Hawkeye, and Metal Gloss dancing, and walks up to the both of them* hallo Metal Gloss.. When you're done, can I talk to you?
Metal Gloss: u can talk to me now. Is that okay Pierce?
Hawkeye: Sure, go ahead. *Walks to get punch*
Zack & Metal Gloss: *Walk outside of station*
Metal Gloss: What's the matter? u look sad.
Zack: I wanted to get a job here, but they zei I couldn't because of my criminal record.
Metal Gloss: That's not fair!
Zack: I know it's not fair, but they won't listen to me.
Metal Gloss: Alright, I'll tell u what. When I'm not busy, u can come here, and we can talk, and have conversations.
Zack: Yeah, okay. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Mirage: *Brings passenger train into station*
Zack: Who was that pony driving the train?
Metal Gloss: That's our newest worker, Nocturnal Mirage. He came all the way from Hungary to work for us.
Zack: He's Hungarian? Cool.
Mirage: *Stops train at station*
Jeff: *Walks off train* Come on Metal Gloss! Stop talking when there's work to be done!
Metal Gloss: Will u excuse me for a minute?
Zack: Sure.
Metal Gloss: *Runs to Jeff* Zack, and I are very good friends, and u two have something in common u know.
Jeff: We do? And what would that be?
Metal Gloss: Jail.
Jeff: *Gasps* Don't mention that word! It makes my legs wobble!
Metal Gloss: It does the same to Zack. He got framed for stealing the police commissioner's car. Now he's trying to work for us, but he can't because of his criminal record. Even so, it's time that we get another pony to help us. Pete needs to hire another pony as an engineer.
Jeff: Yes he does, and quickly. *Checks clock* Well, if you'll excuse me I'm assigned to take a freight train all the way to Portland.
Metal Gloss: Good luck.
