A/N: Well, seeing as I haven't done a LukeXMillie fanfic in a while, here's a little oneshot! It's a parody of a kiss from a Disney movie...I'll see if any of you Disney fans get it!
...
"It was good of your Grace to let me work here," Said Duke graciously, as he and Millie stopped outside the castle platform. They were working together on maintenance at the Dinosaur Park and the narrow gauge tourist line around Ulfstead Estate.
"I'm glad you joined us today, Duke- you've worked very hard!" Then, the three paused as they heard a familiar whistle in the distance. "Ah, here's Luke now!" The Earl exclaimed in delight, throwing his arms up in the air in triumph.
Sure enough, Luke steamed into the castle courtyard- puffed out but still smiling from buffer to buffer. His smile grew as he saw his friends waiting for him, particularly Millie. "Hello, sir! Hello Duke! Hey, Millie!"
"Bonjour, Luke!" Millie called out in her lilting French accent.
"Hello there, young 'un!" Duke added.
"Ah, hello, Luke! How kind of you to bring me some gravel!" Sir Robert exclaimed. "Thank you so much! Millie can take it from here."
"Okay, sir!" Luke replied cheerily as he started to apply his brakes.
But the trucks behind him were sniggering mischievously- Sir Handel and Duncan had let slip that Luke had a crush on Millie, and they were determined to use this to their advantage.
"On three, lads!" Sniggered the truck behind Luke, getting into optimum position. "One, two...three!"
"On, on!" Yelled the trucks, and they surged forward, causing Geoffrey to lose control over Luke's brakes in surprise.
"Hang on Luke!" He yelled, stumbling in the cab as he tried to reach the brakes.
"Woah!" Luke was surprised- he fought for control over the trucks, but failed miserably.
Richard threw aside his shovel and managed to seize hold of the brakes and applied them, whilst Luke's guard tried to slow the trucks down from the brakevan.
Fortunately, the train was slowed down enough to avoid an accident. Unfortunately, Luke ended up buffering into Millie.
Worse still, he accidentally caught her in a kiss.
"OOOH!" Giggled the trucks, as Luke slowly backed away, before bursting out laughing.
"Oh...uh...um..." Luke flustered, his face going as red as Rheneas' livery- but Millie just grinned.
"Well, that was an unexpected hello, Luke- but not unwelcome!" She said cheekily.
Luke blushed at the blue French engine, who merely smiled at him.
Duke just sighed, as the Earl looked over at his engine.
"Young love...it's such a beautiful thing!" Sir Robert said. Duke said nothing, but when they got back to work on the line, he saw that Millie had become more radiant and cheerful, humming as she worked.
"Love...it is indeed beautiful," Thought Duke, with a smile- but this, he kept to himself.
