Nia was one of the new members to join the Steam Team. Thomas ended up meeting her when he went to Africa and she ended up joining him on his adventure around the world, and it eventually lead to her moving to Sodor. Nia has enjoyed living on Sodor way more than in Africa, she had so many new friends to be with, especially her boyfriend Henry.

Nia's driver was Natalia. She was brought in and hired once Nia officially became a member. The two have known each other for over a year now, and have started to gain a close bond. Natalia likes to talk about girl stuff with Nia, and also likes to doll her up. Natalia was very good with makeup and she likes to make Nia look this, but Nia just prefers being herself.

Today Nia was chosen to bring supplies over to a building that was setting up for a modeling party. Natalia was very excited about that.

Nia waited at the station for the first set of supplies, and Natalia wanted to look at them, cause she was crazy for this kind of stuff.

" Hey Natalia. You know that stuff's not for you. " - Nia

" I know. But I just wanna make sure they're all safe. " - Natalia

" I'm sure they will. Let's get going ok. " - Nia

" Of course. " - Natalia

However, before she went to her cab, Natalia quickly snooped some supplies out. She took some makeup, some lights, and also an orange dress, without anyone noticing.

Nia was set to go and she whistles and headed out towards the building.

Inside, Natalia looked the makeup she took and tried some on, she had a mirror that she always carried with her and looker at herself.

" Wow! I look fancy. " - Natalia

" What's that? " - Nia

" Oh nothing. I just think this party is going to be very fancy. " - Natalia

" It should be, I do enjoy some parties. " - Nia

" Yeah. If only this party could have engines join. I would totally sign you up, cause you have some great looks. " - Natalia

Nia blushed and appreciated the compliment.

" Thanks Nat. But I don't think I would want to enter, I'd get pretty nervous with a lot of people looking at me and taking pictures. " - Nia

" Yeah. But they'll be admiring your beauty. And hey, I think many people would agree that you're the most beautiful engine on the team. " - Natalia

" Thank you Natalia. You're very sweet, but I think I'd be fine just the way I am. " - Nia

" Whatever you say. But trust me, you might change your mind. " - Natalia

" Yeah. Maybe. " - Nia

" Well, I would love to enter the contest. " - Natalia

" I mean, you should, but you're probably too young for it. " - Nia

" Believe me. No girl is too young for beauty. " - Natalia

" Then you should enter then once we're done here. " - Nia

Nia was being sarcastic on that, but Natalia thought she was being serious about it.

Nia soon arrived at the building, and people started taking the supplies inside. Natalia looked and saw the stand to sign up. She wanted to sign up now. She then looked at the orange dress she took and thought it was perfect for her. She stepped down.

" Nat? Where are you going? " - Nia

" Just getting some exercise. " - Natalia

" OK. You should hurry though. We have to get the rest of the stuff. " - Nia

" No problem girl. " - Natalia

She started to move away, and then went to the stand.

" Hi. Can I help you? " - stand man

" Yes. Is this where we sign up? " - Natalia

" What else would it be? " - stand man

" Right. Is their any spots left? " - Natalia

" Yes. 1 actually. Are you Tiffany Schoon? " - stand man

" Huh? " - Natalia

" You're the one who will wear the orange dress right? " - stand man

" Uh yes. That's me. " - Natalia

" Great. Sign here then. " - stand man

She took the pen and signed her "name". Natalia thought she was being stupid, but she wanted to enter, and she also had the dress.

" Their you go. " - Natalia

" Thank you Tiffany" - stand man

Natalia smiled and thought she was good, then came Nia.

" Natalia? Hurry up, we're gonna be late. " - Nia

" Nia, I..." - Natalia

" Natalia? " - stand man

" Yes. That's my nickname. " - Natalia

She then quickly went inside Nia's cab.

" Go. " - Natalia

" Why are you..." - Nia

" Just go ok, we don't wanna be late. " - Natalia

Nia just shrugged and started to move, until she stopped and saw a woman yelling.

" What's up Nia? " - Natalia

She then saw the woman as well.

" Has anyone seen my dress? It's orange and about my size. " - woman

Natalia was freaked out now, the dress she took must of been that woman's.

" Should we help? " - Nia

" Yeah, but let me..." - Natalia

She grabbed the dress and dropped down and hid it behind her back and tried to sneak away so she could put the dress somewhere for someone to find.

As she started to sneak, the guy at the stand saw her.

" Hey Tiffany? " - stand man

Natalia saw him and yelled back, and so did someone else.

" What? " - Natalia and the woman

Natalia turned and looked at the woman.

She must of been the real Tiffany Schoon.

" Is that my dress? " - Tiffany

" Um, yeah. I was just gonna give it to you. " - Natalia

" Are you sure? Why do I feel like you were trying to steal it? " - Tiffany

" No I wasn't. I was keeping it safe. " - Natalia

" So wait, who's the real Tiffany? " - stand man

" I am. " - Tiffany

" Then why did she sign up as you? " - stand man

Natalia smiled at Tiffany and she was not happy at all. Nia was watching the whole thing and her attention rised when the stand man said Natalia had signed up.

" OK kid. I don't know who you are, but if you're trying to steal something out of me I will gladly call the cops. " - Tiffany

" Hey. I am 24. " - Natalia

" I don't give 2 damns. " - Tiffany

" 2 damns? " - Natalia

Tiffany took her dress back.

" You better back off right now. " - Tiffany

" Oh really. Is that a threat? " - Natalia

Nia had enough now.

" OK Natalia, that's enough! " - Nia

The two girls looked at her.

" Tiffany, I'm sorry for the problem. Can you just let it go? " - Nia

" Of course. But I better not see you again. " - Tiffany

" Don't plan on it. " - Natalia

Tiffany walked away and Natalia grumbled.

" Thanks Nia. " - Natalia

" Yeah, but I am not very happy with you. " - Nia

" What did I do? " - Natalia

" You took that lady's dress and tried to steal her identity. " - Nia

" Yeah, but I..." - Natalia

" Also you signed up, and you should also know that I wasn't serious about you signing up. " - Nia

" You weren't? " - Natalia

" No, I was trying to make you feel more confident than you already were. " - Nia

Natalia really felt dumb and walked towards Nia and sat on her buffer.

" I'm sorry Nia. For being stupid. " - Natalia

" Hey, you're not stupid. I know you really wanted to join. Maybe I pushed it a little too. " - Nia

" No you didn't. It was really my fault. Because you know that I'm just so obessed with beauty, and you probably are sick of it. " - Natalia

" No I'm not Nat. I like it a lot, and I love when you call me beautiful. " - Nia

" Oh of course Ni, cause you really are. " - Natalia

" Thank you. " - Nia

" So, do you forgive me for what I did? " - Natalia

" Yes i do. I'm sorry it happened too. " - Nia

Natalia smiled and kissed Nia's cheek and she giggled.

" Sorry, you're just very cute. " - Natalia

" Thanks Nat. And hey, if their ever is a modeling contest for engines here, I will gladly sign up. " - Nia

" That's great. And you would beat everyone by a mile. " - Natalia

" I'm not so sure on that, but thanks for the enthusiasm. " - Nia

" Of course my beauty star. " - Natalia

The two laughed and hugged. Despite them only working together for about a year, the two really were that close already.

Sometimes it can take even a few months to get very close with someone. It happens a lot more often than you think.

The end.


Next: Rebecca and Ruby


Only 3 to go. Sorry this one was a little late, this one took me the longest to think, cause I don't write a lot about these two, same goes with the next two, so next chapter could be a while as well.

Either way, I'll see you all next time. Bye. Love, Ethan and stay safe.
