With the reception over, everyone went to relax, rest or returning to their duties.
Mays was resting when Molly came in.
Molly: Hey Mays you want to do something fun?
Mays knew what she had ment.
Mays: Of course I would.
While they did that that Thomas and Lady were planning their Honeymoon in their room for when the war was over.
Thomas: We could head to the mainland?
Lady: I was thinking somewhere more sunny.
Thomas: Like where?
Lady: Oh, nowhere special, just the Carrabian.
Thomas: Woah. Don't forget I have to sort out a lot of things here and don't forget, your pregnant.
Lady: Aww, but I got something very 'special' for you on our honeymoon, and we can wait for our child before we leave.
Thomas: Fine, you win. Now lets sleep.
Lady: Thank you, but I was thinking of doing 'something' else.

D10: Excellent. Have it deployed tomorrow night.
Technician: Yes, my lord.

Little Barford: Hopefully it stays that way.
[Outside]
Rosie: Percy can we have a talk?
Percy: Sure Rosie.
Rosie: Percy, do you like me?
Percy: Well...yeah, but you were always trying after Thomas. When he asked Lady to marry him, I hoped that you would move on, but you didn't and whe...
He was interrupted when Rosie pressed her lips against his. When she broke away, Percy was speechless.

Albert, 13, City of Truro, Mallard and Flying Scotsman were in the Control Room. They were checking the reports from all of the Steam bases and Diesel activity.
Flying Scotsman: Everything seems to be quite, for once.
Albert: Yes. Thank god.
Then Thomas walked in.
Thomas: What is the status?
13: All steam bases are quite for once.
Thomas: They are still to remain on guard.
Mallard: Yes sir.
Thomas: Good. Tell all of the commanders to meet me in the briefing room.
13: On it.
Soon all the comanders were in the breifing room.
Sir Handel: Why have we been called here?
Thomas: To disscuss tactics on how to reclaim more of the island. Since we took back the Power Station and Central Island Quarry, we now control 32% of the Island, now we should push the Diesels back further.
Mays: How? We would not be able to carry out something like that very quickly.
Thomas: I have a plan, but first you will all be told to attack certain targets, Fergus you can try to reclaim the Cement Works. Everyone else, you will recieve a list of who is attacking where.
Commanders: Yes Sir.
Thomas: Good, this is part of Operation Strike-Back, which will start tomorrrow.
Soon the list was ready.

Toby: Maithwaite is where I'm going.
Mays: Looks like I got the coaling plant.
