When Lorelei returned to the scrapyard on the Other Railway, the moment she stepped down from Dennis' cab and saw the twins that had been dumped there, she was simultaneously shocked, disgusted, and angry. When Daniella filled her in on everything they had told her, Lorelei launched into a tirade.

"Those fucking slime-bag good for nothing Hatts! First Sir Topham Fatt pulls that shit on Sodor trying to scrap all the diesels, now this Tiberius fucker does this?! I swear to God I'll find that motherfucking asswipe and give him a taste of his own medicine!" Lorelei said, fuming. She then went on about exactly what she wanted to do to Tiberius Hatt, describing it all in vivid, graphic detail, and loudly at that.

"Um, Daniella…is it just me, or did she just say that she was going to take a blowtorch and cut off that man's private parts?!" Dennis asked quietly.

"Nothin' she hasn't done before," Daniella replied.

"What?!" Dennis exclaimed. "Excuse me, but did you—Lorelei did what?!"

"She neutered a few guys with a blowtorch," Daniella deadpanned.

Dennis stared at her open-mouthed.

"Those fuckers cut up an engine that wasn't dead! Cut his wheels off! Poor fucker was never the same. Never talked again. Died three weeks after," said Daniella.

"And I'll do it again! Cut off these guys parts before they die and I'll cut off some of yours!" said Lorelei.

"Right, remind me to never get on your bad side, miss," Dennis said with a gulp.

"Relax, I'd never be that cruel to an engine," said Lorelei.

"Um, Lorelei, I know you're mad, heck, I am too, but you're scaring those shunters," Aurora said, gesturing at the twins, who were both staring at Lorelei fearfully.

"Sorry guys," Lorelei said with a sigh. Shaking her head, she looked at Mark. "Well, I'm no mechanic, but I might as well take a look," she said.

Mark looked at Lorelei warily as she approached him. He wasn't sure if he could trust her at all, considering the last person who had gone to "take a look" at him had broken him and made his life a living hell. However, Lorelei patted his cheek and assured him she wouldn't harm him. To his surprise, she was quite gentle.

"Jesus Christ!" Lorelei exclaimed, "Everything in here is broken! Ewww! How did that stuff get all over back here?! Fucking hell!" She stepped away from Mark, arms drenched in oil. "Yuck! I'm gonna need about five showers!" she said.

"Sorry…" Mark said quietly.

"You can't help it, don't worry," said Lorelei. "Well, if anything can be done for him, first we gotta drain that shit outta there,"

"Yeah…you do that," said Aurora.

"Go get some hoses," Lorelei said, flicking her oil-soaked hand at Aurora, who recoiled in disgust.

"EW!" Aurora exclaimed as she wiped her face with the back of her hand.

Daniella snickered at the two women, which prompted Lorelei to wipe her hands and arms off on her bufferbeam. "Hey, don't wipe that on me! That's nasty!" Daniella exclaimed.

Moments later, Aurora did as Lorelei requested, and retrieved some hoses. Melvin watched with worry as Lorelei stuck the end of one into the hole where the tip of Mark's nose had been cut off. Noticing Melvin's worried expression, Lorelei said, "Don't worry, I'm not hurting him. Matter of fact I'm trying to help him."

Melvin relaxed slightly, although he still wasn't sure if he could trust the scrapyard owner. After all, he and his twin had been through a lot at the hands of another scrapyard owner and his employees. Mark, however, didn't seem to mind what Lorelei was doing. In part, this was because she was taking great care not to harm him anymore, but also, he really had nothing left to lose by allowing this. Not to mention, he really had no way of stopping her if he wanted to, so he went along with it.

Finally, Lorelei got finished sticking various hoses into Mark, and putting the other ends into an empty barrel. "Right," she muttered, "Time for a shower. The motherfucker who did this," she punched her hand with her fist, "I can't wait to get my hands on that jackass! What kind of a sick fuck would do all this?!"

"Bloody hell," Dennis muttered, "Y'know, she's got a point, why would anyone go out of their way just to make that little guy suffer?"

"I dunno, Dennis. I just really hope what she did makes him feel better, even a tiny bit," Daniella said quietly.

That night, Daniella slept in the sheds next to the twins, or rather, she attempted to sleep. Melvin, once he realized that she would do him no harm, proved to have a rather child-like personality. As a matter of fact, he was starting to get on her nerves, as she found his perky attitude insufferable. As much as Daniella wanted to tell him to shut his freaking trap, she held her tongue, for Melvin was only trying to brighten the mood of his brother, who wasn't doing well at all.

Though what Lorelei had done earlier had provided Mark some relief, he was still quite clearly suffering, and obviously in pain. The near constant whimpering and occasional utterances of "owww!" were a clear indicator of that.

"Hey Mark, hey. I know what'll cheer you up," Melvin said, then proceeded to make a rather ridiculous face. When that failed to brighten his brother's mood, Melvin deflated for a second or two, and then said, "Oh, oh, I know! I'll sing you a song!"

Melvin then proceeded to sing an ear-shatteringly horrible rendition of the Beatles' "Come Together", in which he managed to get nearly all of the words wrong.

"Hush!" Daniella said, unable to take anymore. "You're probably giving your twin a headache! You're certainly giving me a headache!"

Melvin made a sniffling noise. "I'm sorry. I just want Mark to feel better. I don't feel good either," he said sadly.

"I know," Daniella said as her expression softened, "It's to be expected. There's not much I can do,"

"Do…do you know any songs?" Mark asked her.

"Well, I know a few," Daniella said awkwardly.

"Ooh, can you sing?" Melvin asked hopefully.

"Pfft! Not really," Daniella scoffed.

"You probably…sound better than…Melvin does," Mark said with a faint hint of a smile.

"Hey…" Melvin whined.

"Could you…please?" Mark asked quietly.

Daniella let out a sigh. As much as she didn't want to, she just couldn't say no to him. "Alright," she finally said, "but you two gotta let me get some sleep,"

"We will, we promise," Melvin said.

"Mmhmm," Mark agreed.

Daniella paused, thinking of something that might be suitable, then:

In the silence of the forest

The only light comes shining from the moon

I wander further in the dark woods

I will see you soon

Traveling further in the darkness

And it seems that I have lost my way

With no more strength to go on

And so here I stay

Tired and becoming weary

With no hope of ever turning back

I fear not the the cold and the darkness

For I've found my path

Though the end is now upon me

And the time of death is drawing near

I face whatever lays before me

I will have no fear

Daniella looked over, and saw that Mark and Melvin both appeared to be sleeping. "Finally," she muttered, and closed her eye. Quite tired from the day's events, she quickly drifted off, now that she wasn't being kept awake by Melvin's incessant chattering.
