The two had finally gotten to the train station after a while of wandering around. Their train was yet to arrive so they had to wait there for a while. She inspected her surroundings hoping to find something that'd take her home quickly. She didn't find anything. She looked a little disappointed. "Is that really what you're looking for right now? If this is not enough then that's fine. This is only the beginning! It'll be better, I promise." Said Finn as he smiled at her.
The noise of a vehicle on the tracks grew closer. "That must be our train." Said Finn as the two walked towards the train to get on. Finn pulled out two tickets from his pocket and gave them to the driver who took them not acknowledging the two's existence. The two wandered around the train looking for a seat. Everyone there was dressed up in colorful dresses with gemstones on them or elegant suits accessorized with ruffles and gold or silver. Not even the hats they wore or the bags they carried were plain. Each person on the train was talking to one another but none acknowledged Finn or Eliza's existence which was strange to her.
"Miss Eliza I found seats for us!" Finn called out to her, he seemed to be way ahead of her. Eliza caught up to him and sat down in her seat which was facing towards his. "We don't really know each other yet we're traveling together, so why don't you tell me about yourself? I mean your life before you got here." He said. "Well, my parents keep bothering me about my grades but it's not too bad, I lost almost all my friends when I moved and had to start over completely. My mom has been pretty sad ever since my aunt died, she's the reason we moved. She had an illness and my mom made us move so we could see her more often. But my mom is trying to get better, we have this stupid family movie night on Fridays which is pretty annoying and stuff." She said. Finn stared at her blankly. "Oh, family movie night. That sounds quite fun. I'd like to try something like that out." Said Finn, his voice less cheerful than before.
"Well, what about your life? I'd like to learn a bit about you." She said. "Oh, my life? Well, I had a friend who I'd hang out with almost every day, I also went to the store for my parents. But I guess I wanted something different." Finn said. "Something different?" She replied. "Like what?" She stared at him. "I mean, what other people had." Said Finn. "Oh, look! It seems the sun is coming out." Finn pointed at the window. The sky which was previously full of stars was now a pinkish color as the stars seemed to fade away slowly.
The train suddenly picked up pace "Don't worry! The trains just getting ready to drop us off." Said Finn as the train started to lift off the ground. The bottom of the trains started to crack and fall apart. "Wait. Actually drop us off?!" She exclaimed as she immediately stood on top of her seat. Finn hopped over to her seat. "Well, what did you think I meant by drop off?" Finn said as the floor beneath them broke off completely but somehow the seats were still in place.
Finn looked up at a hole in the ceiling of the train. "If you don't want to jump out yet we'll have to get on top of the train." Finn picked her up and braced himself to get her to the top of the train.
