It has been a few weeks and beside Steven learning to float and Greg becoming a millionaire overnight, thing were pretty normal. With Greg have so much money he decided to take Pearl and Steven to Empire city of a vacation.
Garnet and Amethyst were off on a mission. Leaving Thomas alone by himself ,until. "Hello!" Connie shouted knocking on the door "Steven! Pearl! It's train day remember!" she said continuing to knock. Thomas opened the door.
"Oh hi Thomas." Connie said. "Hello Connie." Thomas greeted "Where's Steven and Pearl? It's training day." she asked Thomas. "Sorry there not here." Thomas said. "Oh." Connie then turn away "See ya later." She then walked away.
"Wait a minute." Thomas said, Connie looked back. "If you have nothing else to do you can come in." Connie smiled and followed Thomas. "Sorry about the the mess." Thomas said picking a snack bag up "I wasn't expecting guest."
Coming picked up some stuff off the ground "Are these… wood chips?" she asked. "Well you can't get good coal around here, and charcoal give me bad indigestion. So wood chips suffice." Thomas said finishing cleaning up.
Connie just looked really confused. "What I'm a steam engine it's what I do." "You're a steam engine!?" Connie shouted confused "You didn't know. I thought it was pretty obvious." Thomas pointed to his funnel.
"I thought that was a weird hat." Connie admitted. "You've never seen my real form. Have you?" Thomas asked. Connie looked confused even more confused. "Follow me" Thomas said waking to the elevator. Connie followed a got on the elevator, she was amazed when she saw the Mountain yard.
"Wooooah!" Connie said amazed "Amazing isn't it?" Thomas said. "Yes sir." Connie said as the elevator came to a stop. "That not even the best part." Thomas the went over to a set of rail's and morphed it train mode.
"Ta da!" he said connie's jaw dropped. "Wow your like a transformer!" Connie said amazed,"I guess you could say that." Thomas said turning back into gem mode. "What else can you do?" she asked.
Thomas spawned his arm cannon "Ooo." Connie said. "That about it." Thomas said turning his arm cannon back to his arm. "How did you end up like this?" Connie asked. "Well it's long story." Thomas admitted "We've got time." Connie said "Well let's start from the beginning."
"And that's pretty much it." Thomas said finishing his story. They had moved back up to the house, him and Connie were sitting on the couch. "Wow…" Connie said trailing off. "I know. It's ruff." they sat it island for a few minutes.
"Any questions?" Thomas asked, breaking the silence. "Did you ever go back to Sodor." Connie asked "I tried to once, but when I did I found out. I sunk" "It sunk?!" "Yes apparently it was a one in a million earthquake." Thomas explained.
"Oh…" Connie trailed off. "Anything else?" Thomas asked again. Connie thought and then remembered something "Where is everyone?" "Well Garnet and Amethyst went on a mission, and Steven and Pearl went with Greg to empire city."
"Empire city!?" Connie shouted "Yes Greg got a lot of money recently. So Steven suggested they go." "You didn't go with them?" "Well I thought it would be good for Greg and Pearl, they've always had a rough relationship."
"Rough relationship?" Connie questioned. "Pearl has always been jealous of Greg sense he decided to say." Thomas explained "Oh." "Plus with Rose… being gong she's she probobly has some badges."
"Do you?" Connie asked. "No I've always been supportive of their relationship. Though I never thought in a hundred homeworld years that Steven would happen." "What are homeworld years." Connie asked.
"It just the time scale of years homeworld time. Long ago home word blew up to a million pieces, stopping the planet's rotation. They decided to make a new yes witch is shorter than earth years."
"Oh." Connie said, "Now." Thomas began "I want to asked you something." "Ok asked me anything." Connie said. "Do you love Steven.
Connie bushed "Well I…" Connie trailed off. Suddenly they was a *HONK-HONK* outside. "That's my mom. Gotta go!" "Goodbuy Connie." Thomas said as Connie ran out. "All you had to say was yes." he said, he then began to chuckle.
