Arthur and friend's in the Haunted Train
On a warm, spring morning, Arthur and his friends, Buster, Francine, and the Brain, were walking down the street, as they were having fun, goofing around in the warm, humid sun.
" Boy, it is sure nice, and i thought winter would never end!" Arthur shouted, as he pumped his fist in the air.
" Yeah, i thought it was still going to snow in April," joked Buster, always finding a way to make jokes.
As they walked towards the Sugar Bowl, they passed by the Elwood City Train Station, which serviced several thousand trains every day. Looking through the wired fence, the four friends realized there was a black rusty old, train, which had several other black passenger cars connected to the back of it sitting idlely at the back of the train yard. It looked as though the train sat there for a long while, as no one had been driving the train in a long time.
"AWE-SOME!" amazed Francine, " Lets check it out!"
" I dunno," Brain spoke, " It looks like we might get caught."
" Brain is a scaredy-cat," teased Francine, as she threw it into his face, " Scaredy- cat scaredy- cat scaredy cat!"
" Oh yeah?" challenged Brain, " Theoretically, i could than any of you!" Soon, there were challenges, of 'Nuh- uh', or Yeah so! Spreading across the four friends.
" QUIET," Brain shouted, breaking the argument. " Well then, to see who's braver than who, I challenge ALL of you to come with me to check out that black train!"
" Challenge accepted," Francine said arrogantly, as she came almost nose to nose with Brain. Suddenly, without hesitation, Brain and Francine both ducked under the hole in the barbed wire fence, and started dashing towards the abandoned train car.
" Hey wait for us!" shouted Arthur, as he and Buster chased after them in pursuit.
As they made their way to the train car, the group inspected the black exterior of the train.
" Hmm..." Brain examined, " It seems to be totally broken... One of those trains that still ran on burning coal, It's very rusted, as well..." Francine the noticed the door to the first passenger car was unlocked. She slipped inside.
" Hey wait!" Brain warned, "It might be dangerous!"
" Scaredy-cat." Francine shrewdly replied from inside.
" YOUR ON!" As the four of them climbed into the passenger car, they began to look around the exterior, plopping down on the seats near them. However, with one swift slide, the door shut with a ' clam!' Arthur rushed to the front and tried to slide the door back open, but to no avail.
" It won't budge!" Arthur panicked. Then the train began to move forward slowly as if it were still in mint condition,, and began to gain velocity.
" Very... funny..." stammered Brain, " Who's drr... dr... drii...ving... the train...?"
" None of us are." Buster replied, his face in shock. The for kids screamed realizing what was happening.
" Maybe..." Francine stupidly theorized, " It,s a haunted train!" A slither of fright and angst came down everyone's spines as Francine slapped her mouth shut. : WHY'D I JUST SAY THAT!"
Their faces changed to fear as the train began to run out of the station.
