Hawkeye: *Sitting によって the tracks on Archer 丘, ヒル with a クーラー full of beer, watching trains pass him* Here's to あなた Percy. *Grabs a bottle of beer, smashes the 上, ページのトップへ open, and drinks out of it* I don't know if you'll survive または not, but I really hope あなた do. *Grabs another ビール bottle, smashes the 上, ページのトップへ of that one open, and drinks out of it*

次 morning at the train station, Pete walked into his office at 6:55 AM.

Pete: *Sees Hawkeye sleeping on his desk* Pierce!
Hawkeye: *Wakes up, and gets off the desk* Yes?
Pete: How did あなた get into my office?
Hawkeye: あなた left the door unlocked.
Pete: Why did あなた lock yourself in here?
Hawkeye: I needed a place to sleep.
Pete: What's wrong with your home?
Hawkeye: Too far away. *Walks out of the office, and walks to the train yard*

Hawkeye's first job for the 日 was to drive a freight train to Denver with Mirage. No one knew that Hawkeye was drunk from all of the beers he drank last night.

Hawkeye: *Starts to feel queasy* I have to get out.
Mirage: What for?
Hawkeye: *Getting ready to throw up*
Mirage: Sorry I asked. *Stops the train*
Hawkeye: *Gets out, and vomits*
Mirage: Forgive me for asking, but are あなた drunk?
Hawkeye: Uh.... maybe? I forgot to study for that.
Mirage: *Gets on the radio* Train 923, we stopped on the mainline, the engineer is drunk.
Snowflake: Drunk? Who?
Mirage: Hawkeye.
Snowflake: *Shocked* Are あなた sure it's him?
Mirage: I'm staring right at him, and it's not a pretty sight!!
Hawkeye: *Angry at Mirage* I may not be the Mona Lisa, but I got good locks!
Mirage: あなた mean looks!
Hawkeye: That's what I 発言しました あなた Ford loving son of a bitch!
Mirage: I don't even own a Ford.
Hawkeye: eh, up yours. *Walks away*

At the station, Pete saw Hawkeye walking towards him.

Pete: Pierce, what's going on?
Hawkeye: Going on what? I don't see anything on anything.
Pete: Are あなた drunk?
Hawkeye: According to Mirage I am. *Falls down on the floor*
Pete: Get up.
Hawkeye: *Gets up*
Pete: And go home. I don't know what's gotten into you, but あなた need to get your act together! You're suspended from work for a week.
Hawkeye: *Walks out of the station*

Two days later. Hawkeye went to the hospital to see Percy.

Hawkeye: *Enters Percy's room* Hey. How are you?
Percy: Good. *Looks at his clock* But it's 8 o' clock. Aren't あなた supposed to be at work?
Hawkeye: Pete suspended me from work for a week.
Percy: What for?
Hawkeye: I got drunk, because I was worried about you.
Percy: あなた got drunk?
Hawkeye: *Nods*
Percy: But you're not supposed to do that. あなた have an important job, and a big reputation. Lots of ponies are depending on あなた to-
Hawkeye: *Angry* Okay, あなた know what? I was feeling miserable about あなた being in that train wreck, but now that you're being annoying, I don't give a shit. Fuck reputations, fuck those ponies that depend on me to do a good job, and fuck my job as well! *Goes to the door, but before he leaves, he stares at Percy* And while I'm at it, fuck you!! It's all your fault that Ike is dead! Why don't あなた just grow up, and stop being so careless?! *Leaves the room*

A week later at the train station, Hawkeye arrived at the station with Metal Gloss.

Hawkeye: *Parks his car in the parking lot によって the station*
Orion: *Staring at him*
Metal Gloss: Why is he staring at あなた like that?
Hawkeye: I'm not sure. It might be another way for him to get fired. *Gets out of his car, and walks to the station*
Orion: Percy told me about what あなた 発言しました to him yesterday.
Hawkeye: And?
Orion: あなた should be ashamed of yourself! あなた just shouted at him for no reason. How would あなた like it if someone told あなた that it was your fault for somepony's death when it wasn't?
Hawkeye: *Passes Orion, and walks into the station*
Pete: Pierce, welcome back.
Hawkeye: Thanks-
Pete: Now leave!
Hawkeye: What?
Pete: You're suspended for an entire week! Again!
Hawkeye: *Sighs, and walks out of the station*
Jeff: Hawkeye, may I ask あなた a question?
Hawkeye: Sure, as long as it has nothing to do with-
Jeff: WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!!? Percy gets involved in a train crash, breaks three of his legs, and あなた shout at him like he's nothing!!
Hawkeye: *Walks back to his car*
Metal Gloss: What are あなた going to do Pierce?
Hawkeye: I have no idea. Everypony hates me.
Metal Gloss: Not everypony. There's one ポニー that still likes you, but あなた need to apologize to him.
Pierce: *Sighs* I doubt he'll accept it.

Back at the hospital

Percy: *With a nurse*
Nurse: The doctor says you'll be out tomorrow, and that your legs will be perfectly fine.
Percy: That's excellent news.
Hawkeye: *Walks into the room* May I speak to Percy?
Nurse: He needs to rest.
Percy: It's alright. This won't take long.
Nurse: *Walks out of the room*
Hawkeye: Percy, I just wanna-
Percy: Look. Remember last time あなた were here, and あなた 発言しました fuck あなた to my face?
Hawkeye: Yeah, but I wanna-
Percy: Well fuck あなた too.
Hawkeye: I came here to apologize.
Percy: I don't care. Just leave.
Hawkeye: *Leaves the hospital*

On the 日 that Percy returned to work from the hospital, he saw Pete standing in front of the station.

Percy: Hi sir.
Pete: Hello Percy. Come with me to my office. *Walks into his office with Percy, and sits at his desk*
Percy: What's going on?
Pete: I want あなた to listen to this voice mail that Pierce left me. *Plays the voice mail*
Hawkeye: こんにちは Pete, it's me Pierce. Uh, I went to apologize to Percy about what I said, but he wouldn't accept it. Nopony likes me around this area anymore, so I was thinking about quitting, and moving into Laramie. Metal Gloss is going to stay here, we didn't get divorced, but I don't deserve to be here after what I've done. I'll come によって after my suspension is over, and uh, say goodbye to あなた before I go. It was great working here, but... nothing lasts forever. *Ends his call*
Percy: *Stunned*
Pete: He's been going through a lot, and was very worried about you.
Percy: i don't know what to say.
Pete: あなた know how they say time heals all wounds? It's true. Hawkeye really cares for you, and when he comes here, I want あなた to talk to him.

After Hawkeye's suspension, he came to the station to say good bye to Pete.

Hawkeye: *Walks into the station, and goes into Pete's office, but sees Percy there instead* Where's Pete?
Percy: In the yards. He's trying to find someone to take over your job.
Hawkeye: Well, tell him I 発言しました hi, and that I'm going to miss him.
Percy: Wait, before あなた go, I wanna tell あなた something.
Hawkeye: If it's another fuck you, I deserve it.
Percy: No, it's not that. I was just thinking that I was a little hard on あなた when あなた tried to apologize to me.
Hawkeye: And I was too hard on あなた when I was shouting at you. I didn't mean any of that.
Percy: I know あなた didn't.
Hawkeye: Are we still friends?
Percy: Absolutely.
Hawkeye: *Sees Pete's phone. The phone is not on the dial* How long has-
Percy: *Grabs the phone* Did あなた get all of that?
Pete: We sure did.
Hawkeye: What's going on here?
Pete: *Walks into the station with Mirage, Orion, Snowflake, Stylo, Nikki, Jeff, and Metal Gloss. They're all cheering*
Hawkeye: *Smiles* Let me see if I got this right. あなた guys went to a phone booth outside of the station, and called the phone in this office.
Pete: Yep. It was a little hard to hear, but we heard the entire conversation.
Stylo: And we all forgive you.
Hawkeye: Well then, let's celebrate after work!
Everyone: *Cheers*

After work, they all went to a restaurant, ordered hot イヌ with root ビール floats, while listening to Rock & Roll.
