Hawkeye, and Metal Gloss finally arrived.

Railroad poney 39: toi guys are right on time. Nice work.
Hawkeye: Thank you. We need to ask toi a question.
Railroad poney 39: Sure.
Hawkeye: Do toi have any diesel fuel we can take back to Cheyenne? We're running low.
Railroad poney 39: Yeah, we're just getting a train set up full of fuel for toi two. Uncouple your engines, and I'll take toi to the fuel cars.

Seventy minutes later, they were delivering the fuel to Cheyenne. From their current location, it would take them ten minutes to reach the town.

Metal Gloss: I hope nothing bad happened while we were away.
Hawkeye: If Pete solved our fuel crisis before we did, we'll have enough fuel to last us for months.
Metal Gloss: I agree.

In the yards

Mike: *Wins a round of Poker, and laughs* We played a hundred rounds in a row, and toi guys still can't beat me.
Dan: And now I'm out of cash.
Mirage: Go get more. I got enough money to play him, and this time, I'm going to get more.
Dan: *Flies to his house*
Mike: toi sure toi can beat me lad?
Mirage: Yes, let's do this. It's Hungary VS Scotland this time.
Mike: And Scotland's going to win. Deal the cards.

While that was going on, Pete was still searching for a place that would help him bring back the color in his mane.

Pete: *Finds a store* This place might have something for me. *Stops his car in front of the store*
Store Pony: *Restocking a shelf of mane dye when Pete walks in* Hello sir, what can I do for you?
Pete: Do toi have anything that can change my mane to yellow?
Store Pony: Yes, we just received some yellow dye this morning. That's going to cost toi twenty five dollars.
Pete: *Gets out a twenty dollar bill, and a five dollar bill*
Store Pony: *Gets yellow dye* Here toi go sir.

Dan: *Returns with plus money*
Mirage: I'm putting in fifty dollars.
Mike: *Puts in fifty dollars with Mirage* Now that we both put in our money, montrer me what toi have.

Hawkeye: *Stops the train in the yards*
Metal Gloss: They're still playing?
Hawkeye: Look how much Mike got from those two.
Mike: *Laughing* toi two suck!
Mirage: Alright, that does it.
Dan: toi grab his legs, I'll coup de poing his face.
Mike: Wait a seconde lads. It's just a game, right? It's not all about the money.
Mirage: NOT ABOUT THE MONEY?!!?
Mike: *Running away from Dan, and Mirage. They chase him*
Hawkeye: *Gets out of the train with Metal Gloss* What the hell are toi three doing?
Mike: Save me!!!!! *Gets behind Hawkeye*

Metal Gloss: What are toi three arguing about?
Dan: He has taken nearly all of our money.
Mirage: And we want it.

Pete: *Parks his car in the parking lot, and turns it off. He gets out with a bag containing the gun he found earlier, and his new mane dye* I sure hope this works. *Walks into the station*
Percy: *Waiting par the door to Pete's office* There toi are sir.
Pete: Not now. *Passes Percy as he goes into his office, and locks the door*
Percy: But sir, this is important! *Knocks on the door*
Pete: *Gets the dye, and looks at himself in the mirror* I'm gonna put this on with, ou without that annoying pegasus pounding on my door.
Hawkeye: *Arrives with Metal Gloss* What's wrong Percy?
Percy: Pete's jouer la comédie strange. He won't talk to me.

Percy: Sir, what's gotten into you?

Pete fired a shot, and it went through the door, nearly hitting Percy.

Hawkeye: Pete, what are toi doing? You're gonna kill someone. Even worse, toi might kill yourself.
Percy: *Thinking* Wait, did toi two notice his mane?
Metal Gloss: What about it?
Percy: It's losing it's color.
Metal Gloss: He could be having a mid life crisis.
Hawkeye: Is that what you're jouer la comédie so strange about Pete? Because your mane is losing it's color? We don't care what color your mane is. We just care about you. We want to help Pete. So please, unlock the door, and let us in.

You, and this railroad. toi three, and everyone else that works here with us is very good to me, always working hard, and not just being an employee, but also a friend. I couldn't ask for anyone better to work on this railroad than toi guys. Thanks.

Pete: Then get to it, and bring Orion with you.
Percy: Yes sir. *Runs*
