Lelouch's Hall.

*smiles* this is nice

It sure is Sweetie. Our destination is a nice hot springs resort in the mountains. This train will snake its way up the side, since the grades had to be blasted to a percentage of 2%.

Sounds great

I'm glad you think so Sweetie.

I had a really nasty case of love sickness as you know, and the pain from it was way to much to bare, and I didn't want to take anymore of that pain and took action, and I'm sorry Sweetie. I made you worry in the process, and also made my sisters come out here, and I'm sorry. This year has been the worst year ever, and I hope I never have another year like this again.

Being with you, helps me drop it, and enjoy life, and open up again.

Oh it's fine sweeite.

I love you more than anything My Sweet Little Princess Alexis, with all my heart, and always will.

And i love you just as much My prince

*strokes your face and cuddles you*

*cuddles back*

*The engine begins to slow down as she climbs the grade*

*places your hand on the J-Bar aka reverser, and places my hand next to yours* Just move with my hand Sweetie.

*Slowly slides the reverse forward a couple slots* Now we just shortened the valve stroke, and the reason being is we are allowing more steam to flow into the cylinders to give us more power to climb.

*Places your hand on the throttle, and places my hand next to yours and gently opens the throttle a little more* Now we opened a valve in the steam dome to allow more steam to flow into the cylinders.

We are using more steam to give us more power to climb, we are also using a little more water, but that air compressor has to work even harder to continue air-rating the water and have a nice powerful flow of water go into the boiler.

Doug has the valve for the air compressor opened up at 66% to maintain the water's air-ration, and at the same time he has opened up his injector on his side to make sure enough water goes in the boiler.

*Opens a valve to the crosshead pump* This crosshead pump is like a 3rd injector, but it's main purpose is to prevent excessive air from entering the pipes so water hammer won't occur and the boiler won't pull over, kind of like a water shock absorber.

I know it's a lot to think about at first but it all becomes pretty simple.

This is so fun! *smiling*

I am so glad you are enjoying your first time. My first time wore me out and was a disappointment, but over time it got better, now it's awesome. To operate a steam engine you mostly need to play it by ear, and with your engine, any type of rod it can be played by ear. Geared engines you need to really feel and know them. We don't really need to make any other changes since it's pretty much the Same for the next 4 miles

Well it's because you're teaching me and because im with you.

And I also get the joy out of deflowering your virginity in operating a steam engine, and want to ensure your first time is enjoyable. *kisses you*

*kisses back* it's very enjoyable with you baby

And I am really enjoying my time with you my love

*smiles*

*gently strokes your face*

*kisses you*

*kisses you back*

Will you be my bride? *slides a $500 million dollar ring on your finger* This ring is the rarest and most beautiful ring in existance and it belongs on the hand of the most wonderful girl.

Yes,yes YES omg YES!!!!!

You are my whole universe my love.

And you're mine.
