A.J. stepped up onto the wooden porch and came to the door. With one hand he lifted the latch and with the other knocked. Slowly he opened the door and its iron hinges creaked.

“Hello?”

He said calmly. A.J. opened the door wider and stepped into his cabin.

“Shhh.”

Came a voice in the corner. It was Sakura; she was tending to Mirra who was napping. Sakura stood up and turned around. She smiled and quietly walked over to her Husband.

“We’ve missed you.”

She said softly with open arms. The couple embraced and kissed.

“I missed you guys too.”

A.J. replied. Quietly he set down his effects on the couch and then walked over to the crib where Mirra slept. She stirred a little under the blanket as she dreamed but was sleeping well. A.J. smiled and rubbed his thumb across her fuzzy cheek. Then he stood up and stepped back. Sakura came up and held A.J. by his left arm and smiled. Then the pair quietly walked out side. Despite the squeaky floor boards Mirra continued to sleep.

A.J. and Sakura stepped outside and sat on the porch swing, which A.J. got shortly after their marriage. A.J. took a deep breath and let out a big sigh of relief. Sakura edged closer and A.J. put an arm around his wife. Sakura rested her head on his shoulder and the two looked out over the town below and the trains passing by.

“Its good to finally have you home. This place just seems so lonesome without you.”

She said nudging closer. A.J. smiled and kisser atop her head.

“Yeah, I know. But someone needs to make an income to support us.”

Said A.J. lovingly rubbing Sakura’s left shoulder.

“Ya’ know, it’s never been quite the same on Comanche after Mirra came. I miss you being my Ashcat.”
“A.J., I’ll always be you Ashcat!”

Replied Sakura smiling. Then a shrill whistle was heard. The couple casually looked towards the depot and there they could see the GFRR “Twins” double heading an East Bound freight. At the head was #5 “Gold King”, coupled behind was #6 “Gold Queen”. They were the railroad’s only 2 C-16 class 2-8-0’s.

A.J. sat and recollected on days past and the adventures they had on the GFRR. How A.J. and Sakura first met, how A.J. pulled Sakura out from a pit of poverty and abuse. And how A.J. got her a job working on the Railroad. Even though there were bad times the two stuck together and were inseparable. Those events only strengthened their bond.

Mean while back in town, Leach and Fiesta sat on a bench outside a hotel. Leach was widdleing a piece of wood and Fiesta was doing nothing. Then Leach sighed.

“Well, what do ya’ wanna do?”

Leach asked. Fiesta turned his head and paused.

“I don’t know. What do you want to do?”

“I dunno…”

Replied Leach, then the two sighed together.

“I’m bored.”

They said in unison.

In Wolf Creek Aleu lay in her bed in the Hotel. Her legs were crossed and her knees raised. She bobbed one leg up and down lazily as she stared towards the ceiling. Then she sighed.

“I’m so friggin bored.”

I'm smack in the middle of another one shot story that shows Aleu working helper service in between those weeks! So I'm sure I'll find something to keep her busy.
