《Steam of Britain》Chapter 30: Fame is not Everything
Advertisement
Duchess was finishing with her run on the Wild North Western. She was looking forward for a rest, but when she looked at the sheds, there seemed to be a commotion going on. When Duchess looked in, she frowned to see who was in the sheds. Alivia the LMS Compound was back. "What's she doing here?" asked Duchess. "She's here for a rail tour," said Crovan, "I've never met her before!!"
Duchess then rolled out of the shed, and she found the rest of her fleet at the station. "Alivia is back hauling rail tours," she said. "Oh scrap!!" said Perry, "Not her!!!" "What's wrong with her?" asked John. He and Crovan have never met Alivia. The engines then told him about how it went last time. John was furious!! "How dare she say that about you all!!" Gordon then came, and said, "Have you heard that there's a rail tour? I heard the engine is beautiful!" "Yes," said Jack, "She's nice to look at, but that's it. The rest of her is horrible! Just take what she said about Scotsman before he came into King's Cross." "What did she say?" asked Gordon, "I'm sure she respected him very much." "Actually Gordon, she..... um..... she said, uh........" "She said that I was scrapped by the Americans on my tour, and was an old kettle that got what was coming to me!!"
"SHE SAID WHAT!?!?" screamed Gordon. "She doesn't take too kindly to other engines that are famous like us, so the Sudrian engines, they're on the list. She probably has them all under her spell." Gordon was furious!!! "How dare she say my brother deserves scrap!!" "We all despise her," said Mallard.
For the time Alivia was at Sodor, Gordon and the Steam of Britain fleet would hiss steam at her, and blow fumes at her rudely. Henry and James looked at them, and they asked her what was wrong. "Those engines don't know how to treat an engine properly," said Alivia. Thomas then came with his coaches, Annie and Clarabel. "Don't mind him," said Thomas, "He doesn't like famous visitors." "Oh shut up, you blue teapot," said Alivia, "You and your book series are not fit for fame. You're only good for scrap." James and Henry were shocked at Alivia. They soon erupted into angry whistles! "HOW DARE YOU!!!" said Henry. "THOMAS MAY NOT BE THE MOST WELL BEHAVED ENGINE!!(Hey!) BUT HE DOESN'T DESERVE SCRAP!!!" Alivia just snorted, and said, "Oh, are we jealous? See, I'm one of the chosen ones. Even when you're long gone, I'll still be here!" Henry and James just wheeshed steam at her, and puffed off. Thomas then followed.

Not everyone believed what the other said about Alivia. But it soon came into view, when they saw her with Mallard. "I don't care if you're perserved, I can expose you for who you are!!" "I'll have you know, I can get you scrapped, and get away with it. After all, that's how I was preserved in the first place. Many engines were gone because I said that they were past it!" Unknown, Crovan, Edward, and Toby were listening. The three engines headed off, to tell the other engines about what they heard.
When Alivia had arrived back at the sheds, she wasn't welcomed with praise. Instead, it was filled with angry whistles and horns!
"TRAITOR!!/MONSTER!!!/MURDERER!!!/HOOLAGINE!!!/SHE WOULD JUST KILL OFF ONE OF HER OWN BROTHERS AND SISTERS JUST TO SAVE HER OWN HIDE!!!!" "SILENCE!!" snapped the Fat Controller. The Rail Tour Manager was there as well. Alivia thought she was saved. "Alivia," said the manager, "I am ashamed of you!! If this is how you treat other engines at their end, then maybe it's best if you stay in the museum!! There were many engines we wanted to preserve are gone because of you! You will never pull rail tours again!" "What are you talking about?" "You betrayed your own family!!!" boomed the Fat Controller, "You helped send them to their deaths!! Engines who do that are NOT welcome on MY railway!! You will be take out of service, and put in a shed in the museum, where no one will ever admire you!!" Alivia was shocked, "B-b-b-b-b-but sir, I............ I'm sorry." "YOU'RE SORRY!?!?!" thundered Silver Link. "SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT THIS TIME ALIVIA!!!" yelled Crovan. "GET OFF OUR ISLAND!!!" yelled Percy. "Alivia, go!" Alivia was sent away in disgrace, and she was never seen on the main line again.

She sat all the way in the corner of the museum. No one really noticed her. She collected dust, wasn't polished, and her paint started to rust off. She now felt like she was mistreated. One day, Mallard came to the museum for a special event. He saw Alivia in the corner, and just snorted, "Fame, is not everything!" He then puffed off, not even giving her a second glance.
