“Doll, I think I’m dying.”
Greaseball has been in recovery for maybe a day, and Dinah doesn’t think she’s ever seen someone be quite so dramatic about a few blown valves.
Unsurprisingly, this isn’t even the first time Greaseball has been hurt in such a way; if she doesn’t blow something, break a coupler, or misalign a wheel after a particularly intense race it’s a miracle, and without a doubt she will complain. Today, she’s propped up in her bunk, breath rattling through new, too-clean pipes following her chest having taken the brunt of a head on collision with another engine and having to have most of her ventilation system replaced.
It’s not that Dinah doesn’t enjoy waiting on her hand and wheel, it’s just that, well, Greaseball isn’t the best patient; she knows she can’t really take care of herself, but the last thing she wants to do is show physical weakness, so just spends her time being miserable.
“I’m sure you’re not, sugar,” Dinah repeats for what is maybe the fourth time in the past half an hour, “didn’t the repair truck fix you up good and proper?”
“I don’t think they did a very good job,” Greaseball mutters, crossing her arms over her chest with a hiss before unfolding them again, “this sucks, everything hurts-“
“The mechanics said it would hurt for a bit, remember?” Dinah says with a sigh, unable to help the creeping smile across her face, “just whilst the connecting points ease, yeah?”
“I know,” Greaseball grumbles, frown deeply set on her face, and holds her hand out to take Dinah’s as Dinah perches on the edge of the bunk, “‘just sucks, I can’t even go and train like this, if I fuck up a leg I can at least still do arms, but I can’t even-“
As if to demonstrate, she attempts weakly to raise her arms above her shoulders, and the creaking of fresh joints cracks through the silence of the shed like an earthquake. After a second her arms collapse again into her lap and she lets out a groan of frustration, chest heaving slightly as the new fixings settle.
“See?”
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound good at all; Dinah’s seen and heard her share of Greaseball’s injuries, and this is definitely one of the worse ones judging by the crunch of metal upon metal that screeches as she shifts. Dinah knows it hurts - damage that severe would hurt any member of the rolling stock, not just an engine - but bless, Greaseball has such a way of letting the world know.
“I see,” Dinah confirms gently, and wraps her hands delicately around Greaseball’s, as if squeezing too hard could shatter her, “it’ll pass soon, honey, I promise.”
The resounding whine of impatience from Greaseball is both expected and painful, and Dinah can but smile supportively as Greaseball slips down the bed. Like this, she looks so small, not like the big, tough image of a champion engine she presents usually, and if Dinah wasn’t afraid of hurting her further she would happily scoop Greaseball up into her arms; her old yardmaster used to say that everything was easier with a warm pair of arms around you, but the last thing she wanted to do was make it worse.
Then Greaseball looks up at her through her long lashes, dark circles from exhaustion sickly in the poor lighting, and Dinah’s resolve threatens to break just that little bit more-
“Can- uh, doll, can I-?” Greaseball stutters, eyes darting away as a dandelion flush settles on pallid cheeks, “could you like, I dunno, hold me?”
How is she meant to say no?
Without saying anything, she kicks off her wheels and wiggles out of her skirt, Greaseball weakly throwing back the corner of the duvet for Dinah to clamber in next to her. Almost immediately she crumples against Dinah’s side, eyebrows furrowed and mouth fixed in a deep pout, but as Dinah wraps her arms gently around her shoulders she exhales deeply, features easing just the slightest bit.
“I’ve got you, sugar,” Dinah whispers gently, and presses a kiss into the crown of Greaseball’s head, “you don’t have to be tough if you don’t want to.”
The responding mutter from Greaseball is inaudible, but the way she relaxes into Dinah’s arms tells her all she needs to know.

have been going on a huge art spree these past few days...many C.B. drawings and.timothy.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY RRARAAAAGGHHH
time for rambling
the for the costumes I did forr the different years of C.B....some of the costumes are based on specific caboose costumes from other versions
1963 is based on NZ caboose, 1973 is loosely based on the C.B. from that one really old Indian amateur production..and 1993 is just based on the later C.B. costumes 1990-92..makeup too
I also have a hc that before C.B. was converted to a caboose and also got his staple radio, his name was Rover... I don't know why,but I feel like it really fits I love it(technically, it's still his name but he just calls himself C.B. and everyone rolls with it.it's kind of a radio handle basically)
I ALSO have a hc for timothy since his death was the only one that was not outright stated among the three original ghosts, and in the later seasons him talking about queen matilda beheading people,and him being reasonably scared of her...I thought it would be a cool idea to make his cause of death getting beheaded.could cause like funny moments and stuff with his head falling off or shit like that idk,,thats just why i drew him with his neck kinda split looking like that
I’ve been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D!!
I love them and I love Dinah I love you Dinah I love you Dinah I love you Dinah

I had the idea of slick’s tank completely blowing up after they crash and I really like that idea lol
Greaseball’s right eye got bruised horridly and her nose is broken
Electra’s front chest thing tore open exposing a ton of wires, they also broke their nose yuh
Slick got a ton of scratches and bruises over her whole body, she got tons of burns on her body, she’s also really sad so yeah
(Also idk why slick looks so big in her drawing 😭, like her head looks massive)
Tag yourself which one are you lmao
And yes my design for every character has changed again lmaoo I’m most proud of Greaseball, Pearl, Electra and Slick!!!
