Chapter 1: Time Has Passed.

Edward adjusted his glasses and continued writing. His pre school exams had been grueling. But then again, he did choose all of the so called 'hard' subjects. He finished his 10 page essay with 20 minutes to spare, and read over it multiple times. When he was happy, he looked back at the clock. 30 seconds to spare.

When dismissed, he grabbed his things and walked down to the train station. He grabbed his phone and made a call. The voice he loved so dearly came on the other end.

"Hey Eddie," Said James. "How was your nerd test?"

"It was fine James, i'm just going home did you want me to grab anything?"

"No, no i'm all good. I'll see you when you get here."

Edward hung up the phone and began to waited for the train, tonight he really wanted to relax.

James slyly danced around the kitchen as he listened to his jazz music. He continued to cook until he heard the door open.

"Hey Eddie."

"Hello James," Edward sighed as he kissed his partner.

"Nerded out?" James mocked.

"Least I didn't leave school."

"And who's paying for the rent?" James asked sarcastically as he looked at his lover.

"Alright, You are." Edward caved, as he took of hs coat and glasses. "How's the bar?"

"It's good, Gordon's new marketing strategy seems to be working."

"Yea i bet he's rubbing it in your face."

"Of course he is, its Gordon."

Edward turned on the tv, and turned on the six o'clock news. He relaxed as he looked at their humble apartment. Modern, but mostly red and black. Edward didn't even try to convince James of getting some more "old looking" furniture.

Life was good for him, well… as good as i could be. His friends were still taken aback from what happened to Percy.

"I have to go to work soon eddie."

"Then why are you cooking?" Edward asked laughing at his partners stupidity.

"I was cooking for you, so you didn't have to." James said as he finished plating up his dish.

"Thank you James, have fun at work." Edward said giving James a kiss.

James used his key to open the bar, and when he went inside he noticed Gordon still doing taxes at his little desk.

"Evening Gordo."

"Don't call me Gordo." Gordon grunted taking of his glasses.

"Hey, James." Henry said coming out of the bathroom.

"Afternoon." James said as he hung up his coat, showing his black shirt and pants, and bright red vest. Henry dressed similar but with a green apron instead. James went behind the bar and sorted the different drinks apart.

"How's Percy?" James asked.

"He's getting better, Gator leaving was a big shock. But he's almost back to his old self."

"I'm glad…" James said, feeling guilty. It was him that exposed gator and percy to the public. He was likely the reason Gator ran away in the first place. It was one of his biggest regrets. The room fell into an awkward silence, bug gordon was the one to break it.

"James, can you perform tonight?"

"I thought we were getting someone in."

"We were, but they canceled last minute due to illness."

"Ok… Well it should be fine. Do we still have the backings?"

"Yes, and your suit is in the closet with your gitar." Henry said as he flipped the open sign on the door. "I'll will take over bar duties while you're performing."

"Sounds fun." James said pouring himself a drink.

It was showtime. James breathed heavily from behind the little stage in the corner. He adjusted his suit and bowtie, and grabbed the microphone. He then heard Gordon introduce him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Gordon welcomed. "Thank you for coming to 'The Railyard' tonight." The crowd cut him off with applause. "Tonight's performer works for us as a bartender, but has more talent then throwing a few liquids together… Please welcome, JAMES HUGHES!"

The crowd erupted in applause and the curtains flung open.

James started of with one of his own songs. He sung to the smooth jazz and moved around the room, fakely flirting with guests like it was part of the song. His Charisma flew off on everyone and lightened up the bar. When he got neer the door, he saw someone that nearly made him freeze. Edward was sitting in at the bar watching him. He continued his song until the end. And finished with an extranet dance.

Everyone in the bar erupted in wondrous applause. James put the microphone on the stand and grabbed his guitar.

"Hello everyone. I've noticed something so I'm going to be a pain. If you look to the back corner, my boyfriend has decided to come and see me."

The crowd awed as Edward raised an awkward hand.

"So I thought I'd sing his favorite song. Some of you might know it. It's called… if you're happy and you know it."

The crowd started to laugh, but James began to play the song on his guitar.

Everyone began to sing and clap along, even Gordon joined in.

This was definitely a moment for them all to remember.

Hey Guys, Chapter 1 done. I plan to have 5 relationships/points of view. And soon I will put up a "Timeline" Incase anyone wants to read these in Chronological order after they come out.

The idea however is you should be able to read one characters perspective and see how most of the story pans out. But reading the others will show you other parts in detail, as well as the whole story. (There may be some lying eventually).

Chapter 2 Coming soon, along with two other couples. Sodor's Future has never been brighter.
