"You've got your cutie mark!?" Misty yelled as she rushed over, "Yup" said Mill Whistle. Mill's cutie mark was a wrench next to a rail. "Congratulations, now let's get this train to Ponyville" said Sky. They all walked to the lead locomotive and sat waiting for the dispatcher to give them the green light.
"7623 you have permission to proceed on the main over" said a voice over the radio, "Ok, 7623 headed out" replied Sky. "Honk, honk" blared the horn as the train rumbled out of the yard. Once the train started moving Sky set the throttle in the idle notch because the grade between Canterlot and Ponyville was one of the steepest railroad grades in all of Equestria at 3.5%.
"Mill, can I ask you something?" asked Sky the green pegasus with a blue mane, "Sure, what is it?" asked Mill Whistle.
"Can I marry your mother?" asked Sky
"Mom do you want to marry her?" asked Mill
"Yes" answered Misty
"I pronounce you trainmare and wife, you may kiss the bride" said Mill Whistle
Misty and Sky kissed for what seemed like an hour but it was really only a minute or two. "Stop smoochin' and do your damn jobs!" yelled Hotbox, "I'm the damn conductor and this is my Celestia damned train". "Ok, little sis' " said Sky. "Ponyville is in twenty five miles, Mill were almost home" Misty said hugging Mill, "I can't wait!" exclaimed Mill Whistle.
The landscape changed from mountains to farmland slowly but surely as they rolled on. The rocks were replaced by green hayfields, barns, houses, and dirt roads.
"Mom what will our new house be like?" asked Mill Whistle yawning
"It's a surprise but you do get your own room" answered Misty
"I can't wait to see it"
"You'll see it soon enough"
At 8:55 PM the consist pulled into the Ponyville yard. "Shut 'em down" ordered Sky, "Ok, I got it, hey kid come" responded Hotbox. "Ok" said Mill Whistle as she followed Hotbox to the 2nd locomotive, "Press the big red button that says 'Shutdown', then flip the master switch" ordered Hotbox. Under her watchful eye Mill Whistle shut down the two trailing locomotives.
It was a beautiful star filled night that night, the moon shown bright.
"Bye Hotbox" said Sky, Misty, and Mill
"Good night see ya later" replied Hotbox
Hotbox trotted to her home near Ponyville's town square.
"Now let's get you home" said Sky
"Finally" said a groggy Mill Whistle
"Get on my back" said Sky
"Ok" said Mill as she used what little energy she had to fly up onto Sky's back.
"Hold on" Sky said as she spread her wings. With a few flaps she was fifty feet in the air. Meanwhile Misty used a teleportation spell to get home. Mill Whistle slowly drifted to sleep on Sky's back. They arrived to a yellow two story farmhouse with a front porch. Sky tucked in the little green pegasus filly and kissed her on her forehead. Mill Whistle was finally at her new home. Away from that hellish logging town in Northwestern Equestria.

The Next Day
The next day Mill Whistle woke up in a nicely sized bedroom that was painted yellow with empty shelves and a nightstand. She had an extremely soft cloud bed. The few belongings she brought from Vancouver didn't fill the room. She thought to her self "I'm finally home, a place where ponies love me".
"Breakfast is ready!" called Sky
"Coming!" yelled Mill Whistle
At the table there was a light green pegasus with a blue mane, a light blue unicorn with a blue and white mane, and three plates stacked with pancakes. Well it's been a journey for this little filly from logging town to farming town. Her journey has not ended but I'm sorry to end the story here.
THE END
