Chapter 7

Snowy mountainside.

"So, what are you two planning on doing when we get to the Canadian Express?" asked Lilly.

"Saying farewell." said Gadget.

"Farewell?" asked Lilly in disappointment. "You two aren't coming?"

"We're not used to the wild." said Sheba.

"Try something new." Lilly said angrily.

"I... can't." said Sheba.

"Then I can't either." said Gadget.

"Then you can't?" asked Sheba with a smile. "Was your decision based on mine?"

"Yes." said Gadget. "I uh... love you, Sheba."

"Oh, Gadget." said Sheba. "I love you too."

"Sheba, Gadget, can you get ahead of us and watch the train?" asked Humphrey. "I've got an idea. A fun one. Ready, Kate?"

"You betcha!" said Kate.

So, Sheba and Gadget rushed ahead while Humphrey, Garth, Lilly and Kate went up to a tree.

Humphrey then punch a tree and a huge piece of bark collapsed onto the ground.

"Oooh, I remember this!" said Kate in excitement.

"The train's coming!" yelled Sheba. "Get ready!"

"Alright." said Humphrey. "All aboard."

Everyone got on the bark. Lilly was in the front, Garth was behind her, Kate was behind him and Humphrey was behind her.

Humphrey kicked at the ground, making them go down the hill.

As they went down the hill, Gadget yelled "Good luck!"

"Thanks for the help!" Lilly yelled.

"You're welcome!" Sheba yelled.

So, the two watched as the train went by.

"So, I've been thinking about becoming your girlfriend." said Sheba. "What do you say?"

"I say they sounds perfect." Gadget said and kissed Sheba.

Night on the Canadian Express.

Lilly and Kate were asleep while Humphrey sat in the doorway staring down at the water near the train in sorrow.

"What's wrong, coyote?" Garth asked, walked over to him and sat down beside him.

"It's just my dad." said Humphrey. "He ran away when I was a very little pup. We had so much fun together though. I don't understand why he would've left. Wherever he is, I miss him. You know, I've payed attention before about how sweet he was to mom and the way you are with Lilly, you uh... remind me of him. I'm sorry I had to take it out on you for my dad leaving."

"At least you probably still have one." said Garth.

"I'm sorry about your dad." said Humphrey.

"It's alright." said Garth. "You didn't really cause his death."

Boyse. Gadget's house. He was watching the live news while Sheba played God Of Thunder by KISS on the game God Of Guitar. Hours earlier, they'd built a military chopper.

News: Earlier tonight, a train that was supposed to take a turn was not stopped in time. It appears that miles away in the Canadian Express. A head-on collision is inevitable.

"Oh my god!" Gadget yelled in terror and ran into the room where Sheba was playing God Of Guitar. "Sheba, we need the track the train down and get Lilly, Garth, Kate and Humphrey off as soon as possible!"

"Why?" asked Sheba. "What's wrong?"

"There's gonna be a head-on collision with another train!" Gadget panicked.

"Oh my god!" cried Sheba. "We need to get in the chopper!"

The two ran outside, climbed in the chopper, started it and flew off.
