Rusty's Arrival

This is part of my Human TTTE stories, which is set in an English-type boarding school.

This image revolves around Rusty, whom since hearing to the Rusty _1/2 audio episode by  on YouTube, I have always associated Rusty as being a tomboy, since there aren't any female engines on the Skarloey Railway - that is until Millie came along. (But since she's own by Sir Robert, that doesn't really count)

This is a prequel to what happens here; Captive Rusty. Basically, the Fat Controller found Rusty on the streets (or rather she found him after colliding with him on a motorized skateboard with scooter handlebars that went out of control) when he was out shopping.

He quickly assumed Rusty was a boy, and after hearing his story about living on the streets after running away from school, TFC takes Rusty in and introduces him the dorm where the humanized Skarloey engines (minus Duke, Freddie & Bertrum as they're teachers) reside. Rusty's a bit nervous here, as she's the only girl in a room full of boys, and doesn't do things with them at the same time, like going swimming or the washrooms...they just put it down to shyness, or previous life from "his" old school.

At first, no one is the wiser about Rusty, but as time passes, Rusty's real identity comes out...and eventually, Rusty is happy that it did.
