The Shopping Spree and The Hero Chapter 6: The Heros, a little house on the prairie fanfic

The ladies are all still at gunpoint on the train.

Meanwhile husbands are waiting at the recently new Train station in Tracy Mn. They are anticipating their wives return home and thinking, "There will be a good homecooked meal tonight."

The train approached the Train depot but it did not stop but continues to ride down the track and it looks like it's barely in control, shaking and rocking along the tracks.

Some of the ladies managed to yell, "HELP!" to the men before Bob the leader of the gang made them to be quiet.

Almanzo, Mr. Edwards, Nels and Albert who just happened to have rifles strapped to their saddled horses begins to ride fast toward the train. Reverend Alden also gets on his buggy and goes as fast as he can after the train in love for Anna, his wife.

Approaching the train Almanzo grabs his rifle, jumps off his horse and jumps on the train and goes in the back door surprising Bob and Bill. A minute later Nels comes in the other door of the Presidential car and gets the drop on Grat and Emmett. Just to have them all covered Mr. Edwards is on the roof looking down with a shotgun and says to the Dalton Gang, "I wouldn't try anything unless you want your bellies to look like a donut with a big hole in the middle of it."

The train is still shaking and rocking along the tracks. Reverend Alden is coming up fast trying to get to his wife especially and says to himself, "Hold on Anna, I'm coming!"

Albert on a fast horse knowing he has to do something to help his Sylvia rides faster and harder as he thinks, "Sylvia, My Sylvia. I love you, hold on, we are going to be together real soon, I'm coming!

Lewis Dalton who is trying to engineer the train is coming up on a sharp turn on the tracks and will crash unless it can get under control. Albert must get up there or everyone on the train will die. Albert thinks again, "Sylvia, I love you and I won't let you die!"

Sylvia looking out the window of the train and seeing what Albert is doing she yells out to him, "Go Albert go! I love you you can do it, you can do it! You can make it!"

Albert hears Sylvia cheering him and slaps the side of his horse to make it go even faster. Then Sylvia whispers a prayer, "Please God give him the ability, God help him!"

Albert is just up to the engine he leaps off his horse to the engine and makes it.

Lewis being in shock asks, "Who are you?"

Albert answers, "Albert Ingalls, now let me take over I know a little something about engineering a train."

Lewis is scared of his own driving so he lets Albert take over and he is able to stop the train about a half mile away from certain doom. The trains shakes. Some of the ladies fall out of their seats in the shake up. The Dalton Gang escapes into a wooded area.

The train is stopped and everyone is ok. The ladies get back into their seats. Mr. Edwards however is hanging midway into the overhead hatch. The ladies are giggling a bit as Almanzo and Nels helps him down into the car.

Reverend Alden arrives and embraces and kisses his wife Anna.

Albert doctors the engineer which is now going to be ok. Then Albert goes back to Sylvia he is weeping when he sees her. She is weeping too but also laughing at the sametime they both smile as Albert says, "Sylvia, I love you!"

Sylvia responds and embracing him, "Albert, my man, my hero! I love you too!"

Meanwhile out in the woods Bob asked his brothers, "Did anyone get the gold bars?"

Emmett answers, "Oh man, NO!"

Bob replies, "After all that and we didn't get the gold and Lewis you could have done a better job driving the train, big dummies!"

Lewis says, "Bob I did my best, you know I never engineered a train before."

Bob replies, "Yeah, it shows you never did." Then they head on their way.

Back on the train before the engineer started the train back up Albert and Almanzo says to Laura and Sylvia, "Get on our horses and we will ride back together to the depot. We can get your packages loaded off when we get there."

Rev. Alden also says to Anna, "Ride with me in the buggy."

The rest of the ladies ride back to the depot in the train as the engineer gets the train turned around

At the train depot they all unload their packages and puts them into different wagons and head back to Walnut Grove.

The Gold bars where shipped to Fort Knox Ky.

A couple of days later Mr. Hollingsworth, the Train President. The Mayor of Chicago along with Mr. Richard Sears comes into Walnut Grove with William Hurst a newspaper man and a ceremony is held and Albert is declared a hero for saving the train from crashing and all the lives on board.

After declaring Albert a hero Laura speaks up and says, "I don't want to take anything away from Albert, my brother for he did a great job engineering the train but also Almanzo, Nels and Mr. Edwards are heroes for helping us with the Dalton Gang in the Presidential car."

Then Anna looks at her husband, Robert and says, "You are my hero!"

All the men were declared heros to their wives.

That evening in different homes the celebration continued. At the old ladies home that brought long underwear for their husbands their husbands modeled them for their wives. At Reverend Alden's home they had a romantic candlelight dinner.

At the Wilder's boarding house Albert and Sylvia, Laura and Almanzo also had a romantic candlelight dinner and afterwards Laura and Sylvia made up a nice hot bath in two separate tubs and says to their husbands, "This is for our heroes!"

Then remembering back to when their wives saved them from the outlaws who robbed the bank in Sleepyeye says, "You both are also our heros. Remember when you both took care of those outlaws who robbed the bank in Sleepyeye?"
