"..You're serious?" James squeaked out.

"..I'm serious."

   Every engine let out a whistle in celebration. They were happy for their friends. Who wouldn't be? The two dorks were best friends.

"..Oh..Maddy..!"

"You tackle me again and I'll throw hands."

"Worth it!"

   James then proceeded to tackle her onto the tracks in a bear hug. No matter how much she struggled, Maddy couldn't escape his grasp. Not that she wanted to, anyway. Though, her back hurt now.

"James..! Get off me..!" she giggled. "I can't breathe..!"

"Noooope. You're the second most splendid thing in my life and I don't want to let go!"

"I'm not the first?"

"No, that's reserved for me. You come close, though."

   Maddy kissed her teeth and flicked him in the forehead.

"Ow!"

"You're always so vain!"

"But you love that about me."

"..I do. Now get off, my back hurts-"

"Nah." he said, picking her up. "I'm the happiest engine on the island. No way I'm letting you go now."

"..Fine."

"..Hey Duck, you lost the bet!"

"..I'm aware."

"You gotta move snow for us in the winter!"

"I know, Thomas."

"I still can't believe you idiots made a bet on this.."

"Like we said, nothing interesting happens here."

"I can cause chaos and fix that, Percy."

"..What kind of chaos?" inquired Thomas.

"Do NOT encourage her." Henry, Gordon and Edward bellowed.

"Aaaaw.." the three little ones whined.

"Now now..the fun is over..time for bed."

"..Your bed big enough for two, Mad?"

"I don't fuckin' know. Why are you-...........oooooh." she blushed. "That's not how this works-"

"But I've always wanted to try a bed and yours is the only one here!"

"Maybe later-" she squeaked. "Put me down so I can get changed-"

   James pouted and reluctantly set her down. So what if he wanted to cuddle a little? Oh well, she's just shy.

"..Go to bed, James."

"Can't I kiss my new girl goodnight?"

"..I mean- Yeah- But- Hhhhh...just wait-" she stammered out. It wasn't long before she was in her pajamas. Same as it always was. Bra and comfy pants. "..Okay. C'mere."

"Goodniiiiight.." he purred out, giving her a peck on the cheek. "..Is that how I do it?"

".....yeah-"

"Good! Sleep tight, Mad!"

"....I will-"

"You're going to kill her, James.." Edward chuckled.

"Not my fault she can barely handle how awesome I am."

   Everyone just rolled their eyes and went to sleep.
