The trains were roaring in the station. A young man walks along with the flow. He highly doubts anyone in this station paid any money to get on the train. All people getting on the train right now must be rich. Soon, the steam on the train came out like a silky, white cloth. To them, it's the signal of the start of a race.
The train was galloping on the top of the tracks, while a herd of people run after it, trying to grab the bar on the luggage cart. Some people fell down on the train track, while the others rush through them like a tsunami. The young man dashed and grabbed the cold iron bar at the back of the train, and he grabbed it so hard like he was going to pull the train back. He got into the luggage cart. The cart was already occupied.
There was a man about his age. He had a green jacket on, and a belt with gun holsters. He just hopes the guns aren't loaded. There is also someone that seems to be his sister, who is also about his age, she wore a light green dress and had a hat on her lap. A knapsack was on the back of both of them.
The train traveled along. The man's sister took out a knapsack. Inside, there was food, water, and everything in order to survive. She took out a bottle of water and shared it with her brother. She also offered it to the young man. The young man rejected her. "You sure?" she said, "You know, you will need plenty of water for your adventure." He took the bottle of water and took a big gulp out of it. His thirst had never been quenched this much. He returned it to the girl, "Thank you very much." He said, "I never been this quenched before."
The girl's brother took out a sandwich from the knapsack. He got one for everyone in the cart. The young man bit into the sandwich to fill his stomach. This was the best dinner he ever had. "Thanks", he told the girl's brother, "I've been hungry for days." The girl's brother smiled, "Name's Jake English, what's yours?" the young man took a big bite from the sandwich, "Karkat Vantas." The girl took her hand out, "Jade Harley." Karkat took out his hand awkwardly and shook Jade's hands. "Train's going out into the city, huh?" Jake said, "Another adventure to follow." Jake put his sandwich back in his knapsack, "What was your previous job?" Jade asked Karkat, trying to be friendly. Karkat put down his sandwich, "It's a car factory. I didn't get a lot of money from it. It shut down last year." "Aww, shucks," Jade said, "I worked at a flower shop. I heard about my…brother…I guess…is going on adventures. I didn't have any money, so I decided to go with him as soon as he comes back from Britain." Jade stared at Jake, they grinned at each other.
It was night time. There was only a candle to light up the baggage cart. The train will arrive at the station tomorrow, Karkat thought. "We should have a sleep," Jake said, "Better prepare for a new adventure!" "Good idea!" Jade said, "Karkat, are you sleeping?" Karkat shrugged, "Eh…later…" He actually wants to pull an all-nighter today. "All righty then! Night, Jade." Jake said, "I'll keep the candle there, by the way." "Night!" Jade replied, as they went into deep sleep.
Karkat opened his eyes in the sunlight. "So I really did went to sleep?" he whispered, "Wow." Jade cheered, "Karkat, look, we're almost there!" Jake stretched, "I never thought the city will be this huge." He packed up, "Oh well, looks like it's time to go. Pack up, Jade!" Jade packed up along with Jake, "Are you sure you're not coming with us?" She asked Karkat, "You know, we can go watch a movie together or something!" Karkat sighed, "Sure, I guess we can go watch a film together." The truth is, he never watched a movie before. He spent most of his life in the country.
Jade, Jake, and Karkat got off the cart. The city was massive. There were cars everywhere. "Come on," Jake whispered to the others, "We better sneak in fast to get a good seat."
Karkat sat in the front seat. They didn't pay for the movie, but he doesn't think anyone else paid, either. On the left, Jake and Jade were talking about the movie. He bets that Jade never watched a movie either with the fact of she being so curious about it. On the right, there was another person. She was a woman, but she was wearing men's clothes. Her red hair was covered by a white fedora hat. Then, the lights went off. The movie started playing.
