Couples –A Dinosaur Train Fanfic
Chapter 2-The Date
Mr. Conductor stood on the platform in the train station of Troodon Town, waiting for Erma's train to arrive. It was around 6:30pm.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Mr. Conductor heard the sound of a train whistle and within minutes a train stopped just at the platform. A dozen passengers got off, including Erma. When she saw the conductor, she smiled. He smiled back.
Erma walked up to him.
Mr. Conductor held his hand down to her. "Evenin', ma'am."
Erma blushed and turned her face away while still looking at him. "Oh, you charmer."
Mr. Conductor led Erma towards the restaurant where they'd be eating.
"You sure it'll be okay with my uniform on?"
"Ah, shoot. Of course it will be. After all," Erma batted her eyelashes at the conductor. "I just love a man in uniform."
Mr. Conductor chuckled. "Oh, Erma. Thank you."
"You're mighty welcome." Erma said with a warm smile.
They arrived at the restaurant Terry Troodon's just in time and were shown to their table. They both sat down across from each other and looked through their menus. After ordering their drinks and meals, the waiter took their meus away.
Erma rested her head on her hands and smiled at the Conductor. "Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?"
Mr. Conductor took a sip of his drink and smiled at Erma. "I'd be delighted to. What do you want to know?"
"You live here in Troodon Town?"
"Sure do, ma'am. Was born and raised here too."
"So what do you do when your day on the Dinosaur Train is done?" Erma asked.
"I walk around town sometimes, looking at places. But usually I just go home and read." He blushed a little. "I know, sounds a little boring don't it?"
"Why, not at all." Erma said, placing her small hand on top of the Conductor's. "Knowing what I know about you so far, it sounds mighty appropriate of an intellectual fella like yourself."
Mr. Conductor blushed. "Why thank you kindly."
Erma smiled.
They talked some more about what they did with their days. The Conductor learned of how Erma loved to go for walks back home and watch the sunset.
Mr. Conductor looked at the dark blue sky. "Too bad the sun's already set; otherwise we could've watched it set together."
"Oh, that's alright. Another time we can do that. Maybe a second date, perhaps?"
"Yeah." Mr. Conductor said smiling at Erma.
He thought that she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his life. He wondered if she knew that.
Then the food arrived.
Mr. Conductor and Erma talked while they ate, taking time to speak in between eating the food. It was a wonderful dinner.
After dessert, the Conductor announced that he had a surprise for Erma.
"A surprise, what kind of a surprise?"
Mr. Conductor smiled at her. "You'll find out soon enough."
After the meal was paid for by the Conductor, he and Erma walked away with her hand in his. They both smiled at each other. Both were a little shy, but felt strangely comfortable with holding each other's hand.
Mr. Conductor led Erma onto a train that had pulled up to the station. They both sat down together and the train soon moved out of the station.
It traveled for a little bit and eventually stopped at another station.
"Geyser Gulch! Geyser Gulch station!" The conductor of the night train said.
Erma looked up at Mr. Conductor in a surprised manner. He smiled at her.
"Care to join me for a dip in the hot springs?"
Erma smiled at him. "I would love to. Especially with you, Mr. Conductor."
Mr. Conductor stood up and held his hand out to Erma. "Like me to escort you?"
"Why not, you've done a good job of it all evening."
Mr. Conductor and Erma both smiled as he led her off of the train and toward the hot springs.
They found the pool that the Conductor used and hung their towels on the small tree nearby. The two split up into different bushes. Erma came out wearing a flower on her head as a bathing hat. She looked at the bush the Conductor was behind and waited patiently for him to come out.
After a moment, Mr. Conductor came out wearing only his flower bathing hat. Erma held her hand up to her mouth and gasped lightly. Then she smiled and walked up to him.
"Did I ever tell you what a charming and handsome creature you look like? Especially in that bathing hat of yours."
Mr. Conductor smiled and blushed. "Shucks, Erma. You're making me blush."
"But it's true. You really are that good-looking."
"Thank you. So are you."
"You're mighty welcome. And thanks."
Both Mr. Conductor and Erma got into the hot spring. The water felt warm and just right. The two dinosaurs sighed happily.
They sat in the pool for a bit.
"Mr. Conductor?"
"Yes, Erma?"
"You mind if I sit up real close to you, rest my head against you?"
"Not at all." He said smiling.
Erma rested her head on Mr. Conductor's chest and wrapped her arms around his body. Her right arm across his back and her left across his stomach. His body felt warm, probably because of the water. But Erma liked that feeling. She hugged the Conductor more, as if wanting all the body warmth she could get from him.
The two starred up at the stars for a bit.
Then Mr. Conductor stood up.
Erma looked at him and smiled. Knowing what he wanted to do at that moment. She stood up on a rock and placed both hands on Mr. Conductor's big, wet hips. They kissed and Erma was necking him. He moaned pleasantly and kissed her face.
"This has been a wonderful and romantic night." Erma said.
"Me too." Mr. Conductor smiled.
"I don't want it to end so soon."
"Let's stay for the night. We can catch the dinosaur train tomorrow." Mr. Conductor suggested with a smile.
So Mr. Conductor and Erma got out of the pool, dried themselves off, picked up their belongings, and laid themselves down in a clearing. Their things placed in the bushes. They said goodnight to each other.
"And Erma?"
"Yes?" Erma asked, raising her head up off his chest.
Mr. Conductor smiled." I love you."
Erma smiled and kissed him.
"I love you a mighty bunch too."
Mr. Conductor smiled and kissed Erma back.
Erma rested her head on the Conductor's chest again and fell asleep while listening to his heartbeat. He smiled as he covered them with a blanket he had brought and stared up at the stars. Soon, he too fell asleep.
