A\N: There's not much to say, other than Mike The Red Engine's characters rightfully belong to him. Let's begin shall we?

Hailey looked around, not sure if she was going the right direction. This port was much bigger than the one she used to live in. There were so many new smells and sounds. It was an overload for her sharp senses. The humans fled and hid when they saw her, leaving her feeling a little hurt. She wouldn't even dream about even injuring a human.

Ten Cents was towing a barge when he suddenly caught an unfamiliar scent in the air. He curiously sniffed the air, clearly this was a stranger. He was so focused on pin pointing the source of the new smell that he literally bumped into Hailey.

"Oop! Sorry!" Ten Cents smiled, and that was when he saw her. He was in awe. She was perfect. Before Hailey could even apologize, Wolf, her Rider and a wolf were-cat and human hybrid, lifted her hat and poked his head out to see what was going on.

"What the-? What happened?" Wolf clearly wasn't happy about this. Ten Cents wasn't quite sure what he was. He had the eyes of a were-cat, but had the ears, and tail of a wolf.

"Sorry sir, I wasn't paying much attention, and I accidentally bumped into her." Ten Cents swallowed nervously.

"You didn't hurt her did you?" Wolf narrowed his eyes.

"No Wolf, I'm fine. Are you okay? You look a little dazed." Hailey asked Ten Cents. Ten Cents blinked and shook his head.

"Huh? Oh yeah," Ten Cents cleared his throat. "I'm fine. My name's Ten Cents." Ten Cents' cheeks started to turn red.

"My name's Hailey, and that's Wolf, my Rider," Hailey glanced up at Wolf. "Are you hot? You're cheeks are turning red." she raised an eyebrow.

"No I'm not." Ten Cents' heart was pounding.

"You sure? If you need to tell me something, then tell me." Hailey giggled. "I'm looking for the Star Marine Corporation. I need to speak with the captain."

Ten Cents suddenly realized that Hailey was the tug Captain Star told him about. It would be best to just hurry and take her there before he gets angry. "Yeah, I'll take you there."

I can't believe it. She's going to work with me. Ten Cents thought.

A/N: I think I unintentionally made a dirty joke. Oh well. It happens I guess...XD
