Safety Film's First, Actual Safety Second

January 2, 1953

Pete was playing poker with a few other ponies. He had fifteen dollars, while Hawkeye had ten dollars. Coffee Creme had six dollars. Percy, and Jeff each had five dollars. Gordon had twenty five dollars. Pete had eleven dollars, and Metal Gloss had eight dollars.

Pete: Ok everypony, the work day is going to start soon, let's make this round our last.
Hawkeye: Very well. Whoever is the dealer, give me four cards.
Jeff: You've got an ace, right?
Hawkeye: *Shows ace* Here, and accounted for.
Jeff: Ok. Coffee Creme, what about you?
Coffee Creme: Just two.
Jeff: Percy?
Percy: Three please.
Jeff: Alright, I will take one card. What about you Gordon?
Gordon: I don't want any.
Jeff: Metal Gloss, how many cards would you like?
Metal Gloss: I think one would be nice.
Jeff: Alright. Last, but not least our boss.
Pete: Only three cards, Jeffery.
Jeff: Ok, *Gives cards to ponies*

When the cards were recieved, the betting began.

Hawkeye: I'll go for two dollars.
Coffee Creme: Going in.
Percy: I'll raise it a quarter.
Jeff: *Puts in money*
Gordon: All in *Puts all his money in pot*
Hawkeye: You must be joking.
Gordon: I never joke around. With Celestia as my witness, I will win this round.
Metal Gloss: Anything you say Gordon. *goes all in*
Pete: *Goes all in*

Soon, eighty five dollars were in the pot.

Hawkeye: Alrighty then. *Shows cards* Five kings.
Percy: How did you get five kings?
Hawkeye: I don't know, Jeff was dealing not me.
Coffee Creme: Four of a kind, aces.
Percy: Aw man I have only three of a kind.
Jeff: Alas, so do I.
Gordon: Royal flush.
Hawkeye: Well, there's no point in seeing what everyone else has, Gordon wins.
Everypony except Hawkeye, and Gordon: Aww!
Gordon: *Takes eighty five dollars* Haha! Could today get any better?
Pete: No, but tomorrow will.
Hawkeye: What makes you say that?
Pete: Tomorrow, a film company is going to come here, and make a railway safety video.
Percy: Awesome. Me, and Jeff will show everypony what we can do when it comes to fixing track.
Pete: You all gotta show what you can do. This is very serious. So no slacking off, especially you Gordon.
Gordon: *Sticks out tongue*
Pete: I'm not kidding. One foul up, and you're fired.

When Gordon heard what Pete said, he went to work right away. His job was very easy, pushing freight cars very slowly in a train yard.

Worker: *Uncoupling freight cars*
Gordon: *Going slowly*
Red Rose: *sees chemical car* Oh jeez. Everytime a chemical car is in this yard, things always go wrong.
Worker: *Sees Chemical car* I'm going to put the brakes on this thing before uncoupling it. *sets brakes on*
Gordon: *Notices something* Why are we going slower? *Pushes lever to go faster*
Worker: *Falls off chemical car*
Red Rose: Gordon, slow down!
Gordon: Shut the fuck up, you worthless prick.
Worker: *Runs to coupling*
Red Rose: This is going to count as a foul up.
Gordon: You know what, if you think I can't do this, why don't you do it?
Red Rose: Fine, at least I won't mess up like you.
Gordon: *stops engine*

the chemical car was moving too much, and soon exploded, hurting Red Rose, and the other worker trying to uncouple it.

Later at Pete's office

Pete: Who's fault was it?
Gordon: Red Rose.
Pete: Why?
Gordon: She told me to stop very quickly which caused the chemical car to explode.
Pete: I see. Red Rose, your side of the story.
Red Rose: Gordon was going too fast, and I told him to slow down, but he called me a worthless prick.
Gordon: I was only going ten miles an hour.
Pete: That's not too fast at all. Red Rose, you're fired.
Red Rose: You can't fire me, I quit! I'm going to work for the Southern Pacific. *Leaves*
Pete: Well, that sure was interesting.
Gordon: Yes it was.
Percy: *runs in* Sir, we've got bad news.
Pete: What happened this time?
Percy: Somepony crashed into Metal Gloss' train, and Honey Bee is dead.
Pete: Oooh. Gordon, you're a unicorn. Can you teleport us to the crash?
Gordon: I don't know where it is, so I can't teleport there.
Percy: It's in Council Bluffs.
Gordon: Alright, *teleports to Council Bluffs*

The ponies that ran into Metal Gloss' train wisely skipped town.

Pete: How are you holding up there?
Metal Gloss: Good.
Pete: What happened?
Metal Gloss: We stopped at a red signal, then all of a sudden, this train comes ramming us from the front.
Pete: Whoever crashed into your train must not have wanted to deal with the consequences. Tomorrow is the day that the film company starts filming that safety video. We gotta stop with the crashes here.
Gordon: What if that's what they want us to do?
Pete: Then let's just pray that nopony gets hurt.

The next day, the film crew arrived to make the safety video.

Pete: Hello. What's your name?
Director: It's Jordan, now we gotta shoot a movie here, so let's get to work.
Pete: Right away Jordan.
Film Crew: *Setting up cameras*
Jordan: OK. I want a passenger train to stop at this station.
Pete: Well you're in luck. A passenger train will be stopping here in three minutes, and it's filled with passengers.
Jordan: Excellent. Please stand by the tracks, and tell us when it's coming.
Pete: You got it, but may I ask you a question.
Jordan: Shoot.
Pete: Wouldn't you be able to hear the train come in?
Jordan: Yeah, but I want to take very special precautions in making this film. I want to make it the best Railway Safety Film anypony has ever watched.
Pete: And when you're filming on this railway, it will be the best Railway Safety Film anypony can ever watch.
Jordan: Good to know.

Two minutes passed, and Pete saw the passenger train coming.

Pete: Get ready, the train will be here soon.
Jordan: Those cameras are rolling, right.
Camerapony: *Filming* Yes.
Jordan: Good.
Orion: *Getting towards platform*
Jordan: *Waiting for train*
Camerapony: *Continues filming*
Orion: *slows train down*
Jordan: *Very happy*
Camerapony: *Filming train*
Orion: *stops train*
Passengers: *Walk out of train*
Jordan: Ok, we got enough film. Good work.
Camerapony: Alright. *Packing things up*
Pete: Where would you like to go next?
Jordan: Oh, we're finished.
Pete: What?
Jordan: Yeah, you provided us with a very perfect intro. Now we're going into Portland Oregon to film the rest of the video, but don't worry. We'll still be filming your trains. *Leaves*
Camerapony: *Follows*
Pete: *Walks to bench* Fucking liars.
Orion: What's the matter sir?
Pete: The film crew arrived, and only wanted to film you arriving with a passenger train.
Orion: Am I going to be famous?! *Hovering in air*
Pete: Yeah, sure whatever.
Orion: Don't be like that Pete. Look, I know you wanted that filming guy, or whatever his name was to film an entire video around here, but look on the bright side. Being in the beginning of a video is better then not being in one at all.
Pete: You know what? You're right. When that video gets released in theatres, I'm going to invite all of you guys.
Orion: Even Gordon?
Pete: Maybe not him. He'd get cross about not being in the video.
Orion: He gets cross about everything. What does being cross mean anyway?
Pete: It's a British saying, for pissed off.
Orion: *Laughing*
Pete: *Laughs too*

Later with Hawkeye, and Coffee Creme at the station

Hawkeye: All that extra work for nothing?
Pete: Yeah, pretty much.
Hawkeye: *sighs* What do you think about this Coffee Creme?
Coffee Creme: I say, let's buy Pete a drink.
Pete: I thought you didn't drink Coffee Creme.
Coffee Creme: I don't, but I want to get you a drink anyway.
Hawkeye: We, want to get you a drink.
Pete: That's very nice of you. A drink, for the both of us then.
Hawkeye: I'll drink to that.
