You stopped before the grand door, a sign engraved in Gold above indicated that it was compartment A10.

Taking the envelope out of your pocket, you took the letter out. The wax seal had already been broken a few days ago when you had opened it in your room.

Carefully unfolding the paper, you read it again, which felt like the 100th time.

+INVITATION+

Dear (Y/n),

Ms. Lipstickjungle has formally requested your company for her tea party, hosted exclusively on the 'Elm Express'  The passenger car A10, for you and many of her readers. It would be a tremendous honor if we could be able to have your audience, and we shall eagerly await your arrival should you decide to come.

You looked up at the golden sign again. It gleamed from the lights of the chandelier behind you, richly adorned with golden leaves and vines.

A10, there was no doubt about it.

Stretching out a hand, you knocked on the dark mahogony door twice. After a short pause, you decided to open the door yourself when it suddenly slid open, revealing Scout.

"(Y/n)?? You're here!"

Quickly making way for you, he hollared out.

"Yo guys! (Y/n)'s here!"

A rather tired voice called out.

"Scout, I've already told you-"

"Oh shit! Right!"

The entire passenger car was filled with a round of giggles, and collective sighs from 8 men could be heard as Scout fumbled to show you inside.

"I.. uh.. hey grab a seat!"

Hastily Scout pulled you inside, and you couldn't help but gasp when you took a look around.

The entire passenger car was lavishly decorated. Several chandilers gently swayed as the train kept rushing on. Giant glass vases were filled with an assortment of flowers with petals that looked as soft as icecream.

Many of the furniture, walls and decorations had gold frames or accents on them, creating a luxrious atmosphere. And the scent of coffee and tea mixed in with the honeyed fragnance from the flowers, creating a welcoming feeling.

Large windows on both sides of the train showed a snowy landscape passing in a flasht blur of white, blue and black in the cloudy daylight.

Along with the other passengers, you saw 9 men dressed up, with red ties and sleek well fitted suits.

It was then you noticed that several people were giggling at your awestruck face.

Spy walked up to you and smiled warmly.

"Ms. (L/n), we are so glad to 'ave 'ou today. May I take 'our coat?"

You turned dark red and let the Frenchman take your coat, and Pyro suddenly popped up from behind the counter with his chef's hat swaying. He stretched his arm out, handing you a menu.

"Hudda hudda hudda!!"

You nodded, and Soldier led you towards an empty seat.

"Take a seat magg- I mean miss"

Everyone laughed, and you took an empty seat across a girl dressed in a lacey black dress, with a matching black lace collar.

Several girls around you waved hello, to which you smiled and waved back
All the girls were seated in comfortable chairs with flower patterns, a beverage put before them, with a table overwhelmed with all kinds of treats and snacks.

The girl in black spoke.

"Hello (Y/n), so glad you could make it! How was your journey here?"

"Huh? It was.."

You were thinking deeply, trying to remember how you got here.

The girls giggled, looking at your slightly confused face, all quite aware of Lipstick's question.

"I'm just teasing dear, it was hardly a journey at all! We all just logged onto wattpad to get here right?"

She gave a tinkling laugh and continued.

"It's wonderful to finally see you in person (Y/n)! I'm LipstickJungle222, but just call me Lipstick. Now, how about we get you a little something to eat?"

She reached out for some tongs on a 3 story silver platter, and picked out your favorite desserts (How did she know?) And placed it in front of you while the others went on talking with each other and kept a light buzz of chatter.

You recieved the platter, and smiled.

"Thanks...! Uh.. Lipstick.."

You felt strange for calling someone by their username, (and a cosmetic product at that!) But you smiled at the familiar name.

Looking around you, you began to slowly chew your plate of (dessert) when Pyro came up with a silver platter with your drink.

"Hudda hudda-"

Pyro ended up accidently spilling the drink onto the floor, earning a shriek for anyone who sat close. Pyro's shoulders slumped as he gave a sad groan.

Lipstick gave a laugh.

"Another one Pyro?"

He grumbled, when Heavy and Soldier came up to clean the rest of it.

You gave a reassuring smile towards the firebug.

"Hey, it's okay I don't need a drink anyways"

Pyro lit up at your kind words and started hugging you, (well, more like smothering you to death)

Lipstick started pouring some tea for you instead, adding milk and sugar, whilst slowly stirring the spoon.

"Well darling, you can have this while Pyro makes another one for you. Now, it's a little dull, why don't we have some music on?"

Lipstick gently gave a nod as she took a sip of her coffee, and Engineer stepped out, a guitar in his hands, and sat next to Demoman. They started playing the guitar and Piano together, starting a nice soothing song.

Handing you the cup of tea, Lipstick smiled as you thanked her again.

"So uh, this is really different from what you usually write"

Lipstick gave a giggle as she continued loading the plates for the others.

"Ah yes, this one is quite different is it not? I'm not quite used to breaking the fourth wall but I suppose I shall get accustomed to it soon enough"

Sniper was passing by when he handed you a clear glass of water in a wine glass and your beverage Pyro spilt a while ago.

He flashed a grin.

"Here, give a holla if you want anythin' else miss"

You blushed, and Sniper grinned at your cute flustered face and winked, which earned a few jealous glares from the others.

Lipstick gave a stern look.

"Sniper! You know the rules.."

Quickly putting his hands up in mock defeat, he ran away, much like he would do in his many battles.

"Sorry about that (Y/n), since we have so many readers here today we made it a rule that none of the mercenaries can interact anyone so personally"

"But Pyro-"

"He's too cuddlely to apply to the rules"

You turned your head to see Pyro rolling around on the ground like a happy puppy, gladly being petted on the head by the other readers.

The other readers then continued with their conversations and went on chatting.

"So (Y/n),"

Lipstick spoke.

"Tell me about yourself, I always love to talk with my readers!"

You spoke about yourself, and Lipstick listened attendively.

"Ah.. I see! Quite interesting!"

Lipstick also introduced herself.

"I'm a student, majoring in art and of the sorts. I personally enjoy writing one shots, drawing, sleeping and eating. I hate the sunlight in my room (what? It's bright!) And I have been preoccupied with Skyrim these days"

You smiled and asked her another question.

"So.. how have you been Lipstick? We haven't heard from you for a while"

Lipstick gave a dry laugh as she poured some more coffee for herself in the small porcelian cup.

"Oh.. I've been rather busy as of late. Friends, family, graduation projects, jobs, finances and being a Dovahkkin can wear one down a bit"

You murmured a word of agreement, and continued.

"Well this is a really nice party! Is.. there a certain occassion?"

Lipstick smiled warmly as she locked eyes with you.

"No my dear, I've simply just lost my mind"

She gave a sip from her coffee, and you couldn't help but get weirded out from her kind, yet serious face.

"Uh.. what?"

Putting the cup down daintly on the saucer, Lipstick continued as if nothing happened.

"Well (Y/n), truth be told, I was going to give an announcement about my current status. I'm afraid there aren't any new stories coming out soon!"

You gave a confused look.

"But why'd you write this? I mean look! I'm holding a (beverage), here with all the other readers!"

Giving a small smile, Lipstick continued.

"Well, I have been thinking. I could upload a simple A/N, but then you and all my readers would find an update in your wattpad libraries;  your cellphone starts blinking orange lights (unless you are on the computer?) Only to find nothing to read!"

Lipstick gave a mischievous grin.

"So I thought, why not write a entire story instead of a simple A/N? Wouldn't you rather read a story about all 9 mercenaries serving you in an exclusive party?"

Just then, all 9 mercenaries looked up from what they were doing, and waved at you grinning, and Scout wolf whistled, earning a slap behind the head from Medic.

Lipstick leaned back in her chair.

"Well (Y/n), I know it's quite upsetting to come all this way without a treat! So let me tell you a little bit about the upcoming stories"

At this you grinned, hoping your favorite mercenary would be the star of Lipstick's next story.

"Now, the first story is of a jealous Sniper, and a Sneaky Spy! Jealously certainly brings out the spark of excitement doesn't it?"

Sniper and Spy just then turned around and gave a silly fancy bow, making you giggle.

Spy leaned in and kissed the back of your hand.

"We will be seeing 'ou soon mon amour!"

Lipstick then whipped out a water spray and sprayed Spy.

"No! Bad boy! This is the third time today!"

Spy hissed and retreated.

"Now then, now that that's settled.."

Lipstick cleared her throat,and glared at Spy.

"Now, the second story is also about Spy"

A sudden uproar shook the entire car.

"DA FUCK?!"

"HEAVY OBJECTS!!!"

*AGRESSIVE PYRO SOUNDS*

"Now hold up just a dog gone minute!"

"NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN!!!"

"SUN TZU WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS!"

"WHADDYA MEAN THE WANKA GETS ANOTHER ONE?!"

"Tha' weasel gets two moarr stories and all I git is a hobo in mine!!!"

Lipstick gave a dangerous glare, silencing everyone.

"I'm going to write about you all, just be patient. And Demo, don't kid yourself,  the readers loved the hobo"

A murmer of agreement sounded among the readers.

Lipstick gave an annoyed look.

"Unfortunately, they will be out of order, because wattpad updated again and now I can't seem to switch the orders between chapters"

Lipstick clapped her hands together and smiled.

"Now! That's all for today's announcements-"

"Vait, is zhe party over zhen?" Medic gave a worried glance.

"Why, no! The party will go on for as long as the readers want! There's no stopping imagination now it there?"

Soldier cut in.

"That's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard"

Lisptick sighed.

"I know.."

Pyro came over with some more desserts, and many readers started laughing and giggling with joy.

"Well then! There's much more to eat! Why don't we carry on then?"

Everyone cheered, and started digging into the mountain of macarons, sandwiches, cake, cream puffs and other sweets Pyro had made for them.

You laughed and were about to dig in when Sniper and Spy gestured you to follow them into the next car.

You stared, but gave a nod and said you had to use the restroom. And after hearing Lipstick's intructions, you went to the 'bath room'

Shutting the door behind you, Spy and Sniper walked up from behind the walls, and slowly closed onto you.

Sniper gave a low raspy drawl.

"So, it's gonna be you and me sheila eh?"

"And me" Interupted Spy.

Sniper scowled.

"Anyways, Lipstick told me tha' Oi'm gonna be yer boyfriend in the next story, can't wait"

Spy leaned in towards you.

"You'll be completely mine zhough, so don't be too disappointed"

You flushed deep red, wondering when Lipstick finally start writing her next stories.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Asia, Lipstick is waiting in line for the bus and wants to hurry up and get home.
