Jesse is the narrator

Song: link

Narrator: Trainz was filmed in high definition before a live studio audience. Which, honestly, doesn't sound like a good idea.
Audience: *Quietly laughing*
Hilary: *Going 90 miles an hour with her two passenger cars, and caboose*
Narrator: You see? You really want the audience to move around the island, following you while you film high speed trains? They have more important things to do.
Audience: *Laughing*
Narrator: Let them watch on their TV's from home.

The song fades away as Hilary stops at Mossberg station. Alyssa stops next to her on the other side of the platform.

Alyssa: You're early.
Hilary: I don't believe in being late. Plus, with only two coaches, and a caboose, I can go very fast.
Alyssa: Even on hills?
Hilary: Well....hills are a problem, but only if my coaches are fully loaded.

Episode 125: Expansion

Hilary: *Going 80 miles an hour*
Passengers: *Looking at the scenery*
Conductor: We're almost at the station. Would you like anything before getting off?
Passenger 64: No thanks.
Passenger 13: I'm good.
Hilary: *Stops at Impala Station*

The song fades away as Ms. Scarlett appears in one of the station windows.

Ms. Scarlett: The Eastern Pacific is in need of an engine to pull mixed trains for a couple of days. Mr. Baldwin and I would like you to go over there to help out.
Hilary: As you wish ma'am.
Ms. Scarlett: You must be at the roundhouse by 8:30 AM, tomorrow.
Narrator: Hilary left early, and arrived ahead of schedule. I was just waking up when she arrived.
Hilary: *Arrives with her two coaches and caboose*
Jesse: *Yawns as he wakes up*
Hilary: *Stops in front of everyone, and blows her whistle*
Andrew: *Wakes up* A bit too loud for my liking, but I guess you didn't know we were still asleep.
Hilary: *Slightly blushing*
Mily: *Yawns* What time is it?
Jesse: Mr. Baldwin said he wouldn't have anything for us until 8:30. I'm guessing it's somewhere before that.
Mily: Hilary, it's good to see you again, but Andrew is right. You were too loud.
Hilary: My bad.
Narrator: Hilary continued talking with Mily until Mr. Baldwin arrived. She didn't pay much attention to me, or Andrew, and that made me feel a little concerned.

Mirage Station, 10:25 AM

Mily: *Waiting for her passengers*
Jesse: *Stops next to her with a freight train*
Mily: Hi.
Jesse: Did me and Andrew upset Hilary this morning? She didn't seem to notice us.
Mily: Oh. It had nothing to do with this morning's incident. Hilary's just like that with diesels. She thinks they're not worth her time.
Jesse: Was she worried that me, or Andrew would hit on her?
Mily: Long story short, yes.
Jesse: I guess she had some bad experiences in the past.
Mily: Yeah, it's because of her big cylinders.
Jesse: Oh, now I understand.
Narrator: When I heard about that, I thought of a way to be friends with her. I couldn't think of any good ideas, until later in the afternoon, when I saw her just outside of Nova Station.
Hilary: *Coupled up to a flatcar, along with her two coaches, and caboose* I made it this far. I can do it. *Blows her whistle twice, and tries to pull her train, but her wheels slip*

Narrator: She was having trouble with her train. The flatcar was making it too heavy.
Jesse: *Stops at Nova Station, and uncouples from his train* I gotta help out Hilary, quickly.
Station Master: Knock yourself out.
Conductor: Come on Hilary, you can do it.
Hilary: I'm trying my hardest. *Slips, not moving at all* Can't, go any further. *Grunts*
Jesse: *Stops next to Hilary* You need help?
Hilary: No thank you. *Her wheels continue to slip*
Jesse: Do you mean yes?
Hilary: No!
Jesse: Fine. Have fun breaking down.
Hilary: Wait, Jesse! *Stops her wheels from slipping* I'm sorry. Please help me. Just get me to the top of the hill, and I can take it from there.
Jesse: Not a problem.
Narrator: I helped Hilary to the top, and from there, she got her train going.
Hilary: *Smiles at Jesse as she goes down the hill*
Narrator: I didn't think I'd see her until tomorrow, but by the time the sun was setting, we saw each other again in the yards.
Hilary: *Uncouples from her train*
Jesse: You're still pulling that flatcar?
Hilary: Well, yeah. I gotta pull a mixed train to help you guys out.
Jesse: You probably don't wanna hear this, but you can't pull your train with that flatcar providing extra weight. Let me take it off your hands for you.
Hilary: Are you sure?
Jesse: I usually pull up to 25 cars by myself, but tomorrow, I'm only pulling a few trains with less than 15 cars. One extra flatcar won't be a problem for me.
Hilary: You're very sweet Jesse. I must admit, I didn't think we'd get along at first, but since you're helping me out, I think we got something good going on.
Jesse: There are some diesels that are polite you know. Not all of us hit on steam engines because of their body parts.
Hilary: Mily told you about that, huh?
Jesse: You're pretty smart.
Narrator: She was in for a surprise when the two of us returned.
Hilary: *Laughing as she backs into the roundhouse with Jesse*
Mily: *Watching the two engines* Wow, Hilary, I'm actually seeing you get along with a diesel for once.
Jesse: Surprised?
Hilary: Jesse knows how to treat a lady.
Mily: I'm just glad you two are getting along.
Narrator: But the next morning, there was another surprise from Hilary. As I was passing the repairs, I saw her pulling out with bigger cylinders.

Jesse: Hilary?
Hilary: *Blushing as she looks at Jesse, then winks*
Jesse: *Confused* Huh. I wonder why she made her cylinders bigger.
Narrator: I found out soon enough at Mossberg Harbor.
Jesse: *In front of Adam, and Marcus, awaiting containers for their train*
Marcus: Just a few more, and we'll be good to go.
Adam: Right.
Jesse: *Sees Hilary coming towards him*
Hilary: *Blushing* Hi Jesse.
Jesse: Hello.
Hilary: I made some expansions. Do you like them?
Jesse: *Looks at Hilary's cylinders* Out of curiosity, why did you make them bigger?
Hilary: Just for you. *Pulls forward, passing Jesse*
Jesse: Thanks?
Marcus: Jesse & Hilary, sittin' in a tree.
Adam: K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Jesse: That's not even possible!
Audience: *Laughing*
Jesse: Hilary and I are just friends.
Marcus: Not in Hilary's opinion.
Adam: I don't know what you did, but she loves you.
Jesse: I don't know what I did either.
Narrator: I didn't find out that day, because a few hours later, she had to go back to the Eastwood & Mossberg. She made a quick stop at Weaver Station to pick up passengers to take to Impala.
Hilary: *Coupled up to her two coaches, and caboose* Finally, I don't have to worry about that flatcar making things difficult for me to pull my train.
Narrator: However, something else would make it difficult for Hilary to pull her train.

Song: link

Conductor: All aboard!
Hilary: Okay, time to go. *Blows her whistle twice*
Narrator: Then, it happened.



Hilary: *Slipping* I can't move the train at all!
Narrator: With bigger cylinders, Hilary had lower tractive effort.
Hilary: *Blushing as her wheels slip*
Passengers: *Listening to Hilary's wheel slip*
Passenger 47: How long is this going to take?
Passenger 86: I just wanna get to Impala.
Narrator: But Hilary's wheels continued to slip.
Hilary: *Blowing steam out of her cylinders*
Mily: *Stops next to Hilary with her passenger train* Uh, Hilary?
Hilary: What?! Can't you see I'm pulling out of this station?
Mily: You've been slipping there ever since your departure time.
Hilary: *Slipping faster* I have not!
Mily: Okay, I'm helping you out whether you like it or not.
Hilary: No!! *Brakes down* Ah phooey!

The song fades away as Mily pushes Hilary, and her train, while pulling her own train.

Hilary: *Annoyed*
Narrator: Ms. Scarlett wasn't pleased as Hilary arrived at Impala.
Ms. Scarlett: Hilary, what have you done to yourself?!
Hilary: Expansions?
Ms. Scarlett: Thank you for your help Mily.
Mily: No trouble at all. *Uncouples from Hilary's train, and goes backwards*
Ms. Scarlett: Now, I'm taking you to Eastwood to be repaired, and you will get your cylinders back to their original size.
Hilary: Whatever.
Narrator: Hilary's response infuriated Ms. Scarlett. She never talked back to her like that before. When Jessica arrived to take Hilary to Eastwood, she had Mr. Baldwin come over to Impala to talk.
Ms. Scarlett: Did anything happen to Hilary while she was on your railroad?
Mr. Baldwin: Well she did have difficulty pulling her train with the extra flatcar. Jesse offered to help her, but I don't know about what she did.
Ms. Scarlett: Maybe Jesse knows.
Mr. Baldwin: I'll talk to him, and see what I can get. I'm really sorry this happened.
Ms. Scarlett: No apology necessary.
Jessica: *Pulling Hilary to Eastwood*
Hilary: Hey, a hundred bucks says you forget about all this, and take me back to Jesse.
Jessica: What, on the Eastern Pacific?
Hilary: Yes.
Jessica: No chance. I'm taking you straight to Eastwood.
Hilary: Not even if I find another diesel to make love with you?
Jessica: Can you make that two diesels?
Hilary: I don't know.
Jessica: Then I can't help you. Sorry.
Narrator: Hilary gave up on trying to stop Jessica from getting her to Eastwood. However, another plan came to her when she was fully repaired.
Worker 63: We'll decrease your cylinder size later. The girls and I need a break.
Worker 79: Come on Natasha, we're playing cards.
Worker 63: See you later. *Walks away*
Narrator: When the ladies left the roundhouse where Hilary was being repaired, the blue steam engine took this opportunity to sneak out, unseen.
Hilary: *Going up the hill*
Jessica: *Waiting at Angler Station*
Narrator: At least until she got to the other side of the hill.
Hilary: *Going faster*
Jessica: Hilary!
Hilary: So long. I'm off to see Jesse.
Jessica: *Angry*
Narrator: Luck was on Hilary's side as I arrived with a freight train on Weaver Station.
Hilary: *Leaving Impala Station as she enters the Eastern Pacific tracks*
Jesse: *Stops at Weaver Station*
Hilary: *Going towards Weaver Station*
Jesse: *Sees Hilary* You're back already?
Hilary: Yep *Stops in front of Jesse* Just to see you.
Jesse: I'm glad to see you again, but shouldn't you be back on your own railroad?
Hilary: Nope, I should be here, making love with you.
Jesse: I think, you're taking this a bit too far.
Hilary: What?
Jesse: When we first met, I was hoping we could be friends. Now I find out that you have a crush on me.
Hilary: Don't you love me?
Jesse: No. I'm sorry, but you just don't rush into things like that. It takes time. Months even. I'd like to love you, but at this point in time, I feel like we should just be friends.
Hilary: That's why I don't date diesels.
Jesse: Huh?
Hilary: Mily said that I don't date diesels because of a bad experience where they taunted me and my...*Looks down at her cylinders* You know. The truth is, I rush things too quickly. When I first laid my eyes on you, I thought to myself, don't make the same mistake you did two years ago.
Jesse: And I'm guessing that didn't work out in your favor.
Hilary: *Laughing*
Jesse: You should head back to your railroad. You're gonna get in trouble.
Hilary: That's right. I'm needed in Eastwood. *Puffs away from Jesse* Good seeing you again.
Jesse: Likewise.
Hilary: Come see me at Impala Station if you ever get the chance.
Jesse: I don't usually go there, but I'll think of something.
Narrator: After visiting me, Hilary went back to Eastwood, and Ms. Scarlett was waiting for her.
Hilary: *Stops in the roundhouse, looking at several workers standing my Ms. Scarlett in her car*
Ms. Scarlett: I don't know what's gotten into you Hilary, but this needs to stop.
Hilary: It already has. I'm ready to get my original cylinder size back.
Ms. Scarlett: Alright ladies, get back to work.
Workers: *Walking towards Hilary*
Ms. Scarlett: *Starts her car, and drives away*

Next morning, Hilary was back to normal.

Ms. Scarlett: Are you ready for work?
Hilary: Yes I am.
Ms. Scarlett: Good, because I added a third passenger car to your usual train. Think you can handle the extra weight?
Hilary: I'll try.
Ms. Scarlett: Good. Your train is already at the station.
Hilary: *Puffs out of the roundhouse to collect her train*

She made it to the station, and looked at the passengers boarding her train.

Hilary: The passenger cars are fully loaded. I hope this won't be like that flatcar incident I had. *Passes a switch, then backs up to her train*
Conductor: *Walks onto the station platform*
Hilary: You're not my usual conductor.
Conductor: She has the flu. I'm her substitute. *Walks towards the caboose*
Hilary: She's heavier than my usual conductor. *Takes a deep breath* You can do this. *Pouring sand onto the rails* This train maybe heavier than usual, but you can do this.

Song: link

Conductor: All aboard!
Hilary: Here I go. *Blows her whistle twice, and slips her wheels*

The train is heavy, and Hilary can't pull it.

Hilary: *Blushing as her wheels continue to slip* Ah!
Passenger 53: This service is terrible
Passenger 86: You're telling me. She had the same problem yesterday at Weaver.
Passenger 90: How long will it take us to leave?
Passenger 86: We aren't going anywhere. Not in this train anyway. The little blue engine's wheels are just gonna continue slipping until she breaks down.
Passenger 53: Well, one thing's for sure. We're going to be late.
Audience: *Quietly laughing*
Hilary: Ah! *Making her wheels slip faster* Ah! *Blows steam out of her cylinders*
Conductor: *Banging her head on a table three times* I don't believe this!
Hilary: iiiiih! *Breaks down*

The song fades away as the conductor steps off the train.

Hilary: *Sighs* Not again.
Conductor: What, was that?!?!
Hilary: Oh, now you step off the train.
Audience: *Laughing*

Hilary was taken back to the roundhouse for repairs, by Jessica, again.

Jessica: I wish I was there to see you wheel slip. It sounded fantastic.
Hilary: Uh, sure.
Jessica: Were you thinking about Jesse again?
Hilary: Actually, I wasn't.
Jessica: *Pushes Hilary into the roundhouse* Just don't pleasure yourself like that again when pulling a train. *Winks as she backs away*
Hilary: Right, I'll remember that. *Thinking about Jesse* Now I'm thinking about him.
Audience: *Quietly laughing*
