In Pete's office at the Cheyenne train station, he was studying for the test he had to pass in order to get his raise, while signing paperwork.
Mirage: *Knocking on door*
Pete: Come in.
Mirage: *Enters office* Hello sir. How's the studying going?
Pete: Terrific. Even though I have to sign these papers while studying, which is actually making things difficult, I'm having the time of my life!
Mirage: I want to let anda know that Gordon, and Coffee Crème are arguing.
Pete: What for?
Mirage: It's best if anda find out for yourself sir.
Pete: Great. *Stands up* First I have to study for a test, just to get a raise, and then I get hundreds of papers to sign, and now this! *Walks out of office*
Gordon: How could get engaged to somepony? We're dating!
Coffee Crème: He actually respects me, and doesn't act like an idiot.
Gordon: I don't act like an idiot.
Ponies: Uhmm. *Clearing throats*
Gordon: *Staring at everypony*
Pete: *Arrives* Alright, what's going on here?
Gordon: Frenchy is cheating on me.
Coffee Crème: I am not!
Gordon: Oh yes anda are. You're dating me, and getting engaged to somepony that doesn't even work here!
Coffee Crème: But he still works on the same railroad that I do.
Gordon: Where is he?
Coffee Crème: Denver, but don't anda dare try to fight him.
Gordon: Why not? I'm tough.
A small leaf lands on Gordon's head from a pohon nearby.
Gordon: AAAAHH!! *Runs to corner, and hides* What was that? What was that?!!?
Pete: It was a leaf anda fool.
Gordon: Oh. *Stands up* I knew that.
Coffee Crème: Sir, when is your test coming up?
Pete: My test is none of your business. But since anda asked, I have to get to Laramie oleh 2 PM.
Mirage: How are anda gonna get there?
Pete: Hawkeye is taking a train there, and it's supposed to arrive at 1:50. That'll give me enough time to find the place that I need to go to for my test, and maybe grab some lunch.
Mirage: His train is going to leave the yard soon if anda wanna catch it.
Pete: Right. I'm going right now. *Runs to trainyard*
Hawkeye didn't leave yet. He was waiting for a caboose to be put on his freight train, and was making sure he had enough fuel for the trip.
Pete: *Arrives* Pierce, let me ride with you.
Hawkeye: Alright, get on.
Pete: *Climbs into locomotive* What are we waiting for?
Hawkeye: A caboose needs to be put on the back of our train.
Pete: Great. Someday, I hope they stop making cabooses mandatory for freight trains.
Hawkeye: Whatever anda say Pete.
Wilson: *Slowly pushing caboose onto train*
Snowflake: *Turns signal green*
Wilson: *Couples caboose to freight train*
Hawkeye: Okay, we are ready for departure. *Blows horn twice*
Pete: *Sits back*
Hawkeye: *Driving train out of yard* Laramie, here we come.
Pete: Raise in my paycheck, here we come.
