Pete, and Hawkeye told their friends about the auction. Hawkeye also told the other ponies that worked with him.

By the time it was time to go home, Hawkeye stopped in Pete's office.

Hawkeye: How many ponies did you get to join the auction with us?
Pete: Seven.
Hawkeye: I talked to everyone else. Metal Gloss, Mirage, and Dan have a few items to put up for auction.
Pete: Okay. The auction takes place on the 17th. Remember, we need to make over ten thousand dollars.

And on the day the auction took place, it was off to a lousy start. Pete's friends all put their things up for auction, but it only got them to $300.

Hawkeye: Sir, are you sure you didn't have any other friends that had valuable stuff to put up for auction?
Pete: Hey, I did everything I could. Which reminds me, what car did you and Metal Gloss decide to put up for auction?
Pierce: My car. We're keeping her station wagon, and the Cord.
Auction Pony: Okay, up next is Orion Stardust.
Orion: *Arrives, and is wearing a brown dress* Okay ladies, I got fifty five dresses, just like this one.
Pete: Holy shit. I can't look.
Hawkeye: How come no one booed him away yet?
Mare: I'll bid a hundred dollars.
Orion: A hundred dollars for fifty five dresses. Good choice.
Hawkeye: Wait, I thought-
Pete: I told him that if he didn't get rid of those dresses, he would not be fired.
Mare 3: $250!
Orion: Two hundred and fifty! Anyone else? These are from Pakistan.
Mares: *Silent*
Mare 3: Fuck.
Orion: Going once, twice, sold to the mare with the blond mane for two hundred and fifty dollars.
Mare 3: Low quality shit at a high price. *Walks to get the dresses*
Hawkeye: We could have gone higher if he didn't mention where those dresses came from.

Mirage and Dan sold their things, and they did great. They were now up to $5,158

Auction Pony: And last, but not least, a 1936 Auburn 851 Speedster, and the pony selling the car to one of you lucky ponies, Pierce Hawkins!
Hawkeye: *Walks onto stage, and speaks into the microphone* Thank you. You're all probably wondering why I'm giving away a unique car like this. Well, for one thing, I got another car like this from my uncle who passed away, so I decided to give this car away, so I could keep the car my uncle gave me. Also, this railroad needs more money. If we don't make ten thousand dollars, we may go bankrupt. Now let the bidding begin.

Just then, a Rolls Royce, and a BMW pulled into the parking lot. Coming out of the Rolls Royce was Louis Bodine.

Pete: Louis?
Louis: Yes, it's me. When I heard about your auction, and the car you were giving away, I knew I had to get here as soon as possible. I hope I'm not too late.
Hawkeye: You're just in time.
Louis: I want that car a lot, so I'm going to start the auction with six thousand dollars, to make sure I can get it instead of anyone else.
Hawkeye: That's greedy for a therapist, but okay. Six thousand dollars, going once. Twice. Sold, to Louis Bodine.

After Louis left with the rest of his friends in the BMW, and Rolls Royce, Hawkeye talked to Pete in his office.

Hawkeye: Did I tell you it would work or what?
Pete: I'm just surprised Louis appeared out of nowhere.
Hawkeye: I called him. I knew he would help us out.
Pete: Good for you. Now, we have more than enough money to stay in business.
