Episode 18: Speed VS Power

Juliette is the strongest engine on the Eastwood & Mossberg Railway. She can pull really long trains with no difficulty at all. She often boasts about this to other engines, and they get annoyed about it from time to time.

The fastest engine on the Eastwood & Mossberg Railway is Mily. Juliette has tried to beat her in many races, but has not succeeded.

One day, both engines were stationed in Hunterdon. They were talking to each other.

Juliette: You think you're better then me just because you go faster.
Mily: *Feeling worried, and insulted* I never said that.
Juliette: Yeah well you think about it.
Mily: No I don't.
Juliette: At least I got more power then you. You don't have the strength to move two cars.
Mily: *Angry* That's it. I don't usually get angry, but you just crossed the line. I challenge you to a race to Impala Station.
Juliette: You're on.

The news soon spread around the island, and posters were set up reading Mily versus Juliette.

Brenna, Alinah, and Holly were at Hunterdon Station where the race would begin. A large crowd of people were watching the race. Both Mily, and Juliette would be pulling eight coaches.

Race Official: Everyone, welcome to Hunterdon Station. This race is between Mily & Juliette, to determine whether power, or speed is more important.
Brenna: Juliette, I've got total confidence in you to win this race.
Juliette: Thanks a lot.
Alinah: Are you sure you should be racing? What if you hurt someone?
Holly: Take it easy Alinah. Ms. Scarlett gave them permission, and will make sure no one crashes into anyone.
Alinah: But what if you lose?
Mily: Me? Lose? Come on, I'm faster then Juliette. I got this race in the bag.
Alinah: Just be careful, and don't crash.
Mily: I'll do my best.
Juliette: And what if you're best ain't enough?
Mily: Haha, no.
Race Official: Clear the track. It's time for the race to start.

Brenna, Alinah, and Holly went onto another track out of the way, leaving the line clear for Mily, and Juliette.

Race Official: Okay ladies. On your marks.
Mily: *Blows whistle*
Race Official: Get set.
Juliette: *Blows whistle*
Race Official: Go!
Mily: *Pulls her train, and gets ahead of Juliette* I'm off to a good start.
Juliette: You may be winning so far, but I'll catch up!
Mily: *Looks behind her* Juliette is far behind me now. *Closes her eyes* That breeze feels really good.
Juliette: *Looking in front of her* That blue pain in the butt maybe winning so far, but I'll beat her. I will beat her.
Teresa: *Pulling her train back to Eastwood, and sees Mily racing Juliette* Go Mily!!
Mily: Thanks!
Juliette: So far, the only engine wishing me good luck is Brenna.

Eventually Mily got into Mossberg. She was far ahead of Juliette, but knew she would catch up sooner or later.

Mily: *Stops at Mossberg station* I'll get a quick refuel while my passengers are boarding, then dash right out of here. *Starts refueling on coal, and water*
Alyssa: *Pulls into the station* What's happening Mily?
Mily: I'm winning a race against Juliette.
Alyssa: I was hoping she would win.
Mily: Ah well. We all got different opinions. I'll probably have to go soon, so I better stop refueling.

Right as soon as she stopped, Juliette entered the station.

Mily's Conductor: All aboard!
Mily: *Blows her whistle twice, and pulls her train out of the station*
Juliette: Come on, I just got here!
Alyssa: You'll still win Juliette. Remember, the hill further up the line will give you an advantage.
Juliette: Hey, you're absolutely right. I got more power then Mily, so I can just go right up that hill, and pass her. *Laughs*

At the hill, Mily was finding it tough to get her train to the top.

Mily: *Moves slowly as she struggles to pull her train up the hill* Why does this hill have to be so steep?
Juliette: *Passes Mily quickly* See ya at Impala Station!
Mily: Not on my watch, *Slips* Ah! *Stops her wheels from slipping*

Mily was moving as slow as a snail. Her train felt heavier now that she was going uphill. Then Sarah, and Megan passed by on a double header.

Sarah: Come on Mily. You can do it.
Megan: You can do it.
Mily: *Watches Sarah, and Megan pass by with their train* They're right. I can do this. *Moves slightly faster* I got to. I have a race to win. *Sees herself getting to the top of the hill* I'm gonna make it. *Her wheels slip, but she keeps moving forward* almost... *Gets to the top of the hill* There!

Mily was really tired, and felt relieved to go downhill.

Mily: Now I can just relax while my train pushes me downhill. *Passing Sarah, and Megan* Thanks for your help you two.
Sarah: No problem Mily.
Megan: Go Mily!
Mily: *Sees Juliette at Angler station* Hahahaha. I'm catching up.
Juliette: *Refueling while waiting for her signal to turn green* What is taking so long?
Station Master: Marisa is leaking oil on your track, and workmen are cleaning it up.
Juliette: Good thing I don't leak oil.
Mily: *Stops at station, and smiles* Did you miss me?
Juliette: *Surprised* You?! How did you get here so quickly?
Mily: Motivation. Sarah, and Megan said some nice things to me.
Juliette: i don't get it.
Mily: They just said I could get up the hill, and I did. *Hears her conductor shout out All Aboard* Well, time for me to go. *Blows whistle twice, rings her bell, pulls her train, and blows steam*
Juliette: *Smells steam* Oh come on, that smells bad!
Mily: Whoops. *Giggles*
Juliette: For crying out loud. When am I gonna leave this station?
Conductor: All aboard!
Juliette: Thank you. *Blows her whistle as she pulls out of the station*

North from where Juliette, and Mily were located, the Eastern Pacific engines could see the race on their line. Jeff, Bryce, and Andrew were at Cadillac station watching the race.

Andrew: I can barely see them, because they're so far away.
Bryce: I think I see blue. It could be either Mily, or Jazlin.
Jeff: Nah, it seems to be moving too fast to be Jazlin. It must be Mily.
Andrew: What about the other engine?
Jeff: Good question. I'd say it's Juliette. Bryce, what do you think?
Bryce: I can't tell, she's too far away.
Andrew: Fonzi is heading to Impala Station. Maybe he can tell us about those two engines.

Back to the race.

Mily: *Far ahead of Juliette*
Juliette: *Shouts* It's not over yet. We have one more station to stop at before we reach Impala.
Mily: I'll still win!

Mily got to Porsche Station first. Ten minutes after she left, Juliette arrived.

Juliette: Did anyone see a blue engine here?
Passenger: Yeah, she left about ten minutes ago.
Juliette: That's just great. Now she's probably already at Impala Station.

Five minutes later, Juliette was in for a surprise. She left Porsche Station, but a few miles up the line, she saw Mily refueling.

Juliette: Ha! I'm gonna win now!
Mily: Oh no you won't! *Finishes refueling, then starts to pull her train* I'll get back in front, just you watch me.
Juliette: *Getting close to Impala Station*
Mily: *Catching up*

The two engines saw the finish line. They both had to apply their brakes so they could stop in time, but as they did this, it looked like both of them passed the finish line at the exact same time.

Mike: Heeey. What took you so long?
Juliette: Try racing against us, and find out?
Judge: Well done girls, you did a fantastic job getting here. Now let's look at the replay, and see who won.

The replay was being viewed very slowly to make it easier to see who won.

Judge: It appears that the winner is....
Mily & Juliette: *Very excited*
Judge: Juliette!
Mily: What?!
Juliette: Yee haw! I won!
Crowd: *Clapping, and cheering*
Mily: Congrats on winning.
Juliette: Thanks.
Mily: Maybe I was wrong. Power is more important.
Juliette: Speed is also a good thing to have, and you got it. No doubt about it.
Mike: You are, without a doubt, the fastest steam engine on this island.
Mily: *Blushes* You guys are so kind.

Later, everyone celebrated for Juliette winning the race.
