《Steam of Britain》Chapter 60: Best Dressed Engine
Advertisement
It was a bright day on British Railways. Today was the 55th anniversary of the official creation of the Steam of Britain Fleet. King's Cross was being decorated, and the engines were told they could be as well!
"I'm going to have streamers and flags on my sides!!" said Max.
"I'm going to have a big red banner on my tanks, and the royal crest on my buffer beam!" said Crovan.
"I'm going to have ribbons on my smoke deflectors!!" said Evening Star.
"What about you Scotsman?" asked Tornado.
"Decorations aren't dignified for express engines like us, Tornado," said Scotsman.
Just then, Mallard puffed in, "I'll be wearing lovely, medallions on my smokebox!!"
"Not you too Mallard!" said Scotsman, and he puffed away.
Flying Scotsman puffed down the line, thinking to himself, Silly things!
Soon, the engines were all getting ready for the celebration. Max had flags and streamers wrapped around his funnel. Crovan had a big red banner on his tanks, and the royal crest on his buffer beam. Mallard was having his medallions put his smokebox lamp irons. Evening Star had lovely ribbons on her smoke deflectors. Even Barrow was being decorated, but he was shy about it.
"We could have a competition!" said Mallard, "It could be for the best dressed engine!"
Just then, Flying Scotsman came in, and puffed, "A competition? I'm bound to win any competition."
"You'll have to be decorated first," said Mallard, "This is the best dressed engine competition."
"Not me!" said Scotsman, "You'd never catch me looking so ridiculous!"
And he puffed away.
Soon, the engines went about their work, and were feeling very splendid. But not Scotsman. He was cross.
"Decorations aren't dignified!" he said, "Hmph, who cares about a stupid competition anyway?"

On his way back to King's Cross, a banner from a station came loose, and wrapped around Scotman's firebox, and blocked his eyes.
"STOP!!" cried Scotsman, "I CAN'T SEE!!!"
"You can't stop!!" said his driver, "You're an express!!!"
Scotsman raced through all the stations, and soon, the wind blew the banner off his eyes, and was now stuck to his funnel.
Tornado was the last engine to be judged for the competition. Or so she thought. It was then, Scotsman came in, and he looked very cross.
"I thought you didn't want to be decorated," chuckled Max.
"I didn't!!" snapped Scotsman.
Just then, a metal was placed on his buffer.
"What's this?" he asked.
"It's the reward," said the judge, "You were unexpected, and your decorations bring the meaning of this celebration."
While he wouldn't admit it, Scotsman was secretly pleased. Silly Scotsman.

8 1981To Be Heard: A MHA Fan-fic
Why were they so cruel ? Why did they have to treat her differently just because she was different? It wasn't her fault. She didn't choose to be this way. She didn't choose to be different. It wasn't her choice. So why? Why was she being treated as if she brought this on herself? Why was she treated as if she did something wrong? She never hurt anyone. She never did any wrong. So why? Simple. She came to realize that the word was a cruel place no matter how much they tried to disguise it. If the world didn't care about her, why should she care about the world? No mater what she did, no one would hear her anyway. She was voiceless ~~~~~~~~~~ Soooo, I have this story posted on webnovel by the same name and image, feel free to check it out over there if you wish. I also have the same user name and profile pic.

Many people wish to restart their lives, for a myriad of different reasons, but what's better than restarting from scratch? Why that's to restart in a place filled with fantastic elements, or so that would be the answer for most people. However, as enticing as that may have sounded to a lot of people, HE didn't want that, for HIM, his life was perfect. He was one of the richest and most powerful man in the world, he had loving friends and families and he was about to be married to his beautiful childhood friend. With his wedding due in just a few hours he boards a plan to return for the ceremony with his fiance waiting at the altar in a beautiful white dress. However, destiny did not permit their relationship and he was tragically killed in a plane crash. At the whim of mystical forces, he is forced to be reincarnated as [Morgant Fallon], the son of a lesser noble, in a world where the rules of physics are regularly broken by the fantastic. Though destiny may not have permitted it, but he wasn't just going to take it lying down, he was going to force his way back to his old life. It didn't matter how long it would take, a year, 2 years, 10 years, he will find a way back... or will he?Of course things don't go his way, myriads of distractions force him to take his mind off returning, from finding the secrets of the universe to curious visits ranging from the demon lord to the fabled hero, he is dragged into various events to the epicenter. With the mind of a fully grown adult and the body of a mere child, life only throws more and more problems at him. How will he deal with the ongoing problem? Find out!
8 399Lawman.
Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
