One day, while sipping tea with her friends in Futaba's home, Ryoko came up with another dumb idea, "What if we transform into the train cars?"

  Ryoko continued, "Well, we can transform into an E129 B-series 4-car train on the one of local lines in Niigata. At the night, when the workers are out for the night dinner, we can sneak into the Niigata depot and take place as a complete train! Who comes with me?"

  Everyone looked at each other with a mixture of amusement and surprise. It was not the first time Ryoko had come up with an odd idea, but this one seemed particularly outrageous.

  Fumi chuckled and said, "Well, I think I can make that happen with my nanomachines."

  Hayami and Chiaki chimed in, "Count us in too! It sounds like a fun adventure."

  Ryoko laughed, "Good, four train cars found. Now we need just prepare and ride from our home in Tokyo to the depot in Niigata."

  Kana, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, finally spoke up. "I'm in as well, but we need to make sure we're not caught. We don't want to cause any trouble or get into any accidents."

  Futaba nodded in agreement. "Yes, we have to be careful. But it does sound like a fun challenge."

  Alice, who had been cooking in the kitchen, suddenly walked in with a big smile on her face. "I just remembered, I have my driver's license! I can rent us a van and drive us to Niigata."

  Everyone cheered, excited to embark on this new adventure. They spent the rest of the afternoon planning and preparing for their train transformation and journey to Niigata.

  As the sun began to set, the group of friends set out on their road trip to the Niigata depot, ready to transform into a train and embark on a wild and daring adventure.

  The next day, in the dark night, Ryoko, Fumi, Hayami, and Chiaki sneaked into the train depot in Niigata.

  The girls cautiously made their way towards the free rails. Once they were sure that no one was around, they activated Fumi's nanomachines and began transforming into train cars.

  Fumi transformed into a gooey blob and engulfed her friends. Four girls started to transform, becoming squarish and increasing in size. Fumi's nanomachines goo stretched several meters, with four train cars forming inside. They were looking just like typical E129 train cars, with yellow and pink stripes livery.

  Once the transformation was complete, the girls found themselves standing on the depot rails. Ryoko and Hayami were front cars, with Fumi and Chiaki in the middle.

  Kana used her magic and registered them in JR East databases as just another E129 train for Naoetsu–Niigata line.

  Just then other girls decided to wait for the morning shift of railway workers.

  As the sun began to rise, the girls heard the sounds of the workers arriving for their morning shift. They remained still, hoping to blend in with the other trains in the depot.

  To their relief, no one seemed to notice anything unusual. The girls began to relax and enjoy the view from their new perspective as train cars.

  Suddenly Ryoko felt her door opening, and panicked, wondering if they had been caught. But it turned out to be the train conductor, who entered the train car to begin his daily check-up.

  The girls held their breath, hoping he wouldn't notice anything unusual. To their surprise, the conductor didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.

  Ryoko felt, as the conductor started to power up their systems. Hayami and Ryoko's pantographs rose, and they could feel the electricity flowing through their bodies. The other train cars, Fumi and Chiaki, also began to hum with the energy of the train's systems coming online.

  The girls were ecstatic. They had successfully transformed into a train and were now fully functional. They waited patiently for the depot's gates to open, and soon enough, they were on their way out, rolling along the tracks, feeling steel rails with their wheels.

  Soon they arrived at their first station - Niigata station, and opened their doors.

  As the train began to move, the girls could feel the wind in their faces and the vibration of the tracks under their wheels. It was an exhilarating feeling, unlike anything they had ever experienced before.

  Ryoko felt the conductor's presence in her cabin. He was a young man in the JR uniform, named Kenta. She couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, wondering if he would discover their secret.

  But Kenta simply smiled at her and said, "It's a beautiful day for a train ride, isn't it?"

  Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Kenta had no idea that the train cars were actually her and her friends.

  Suddenly Fumi felt as someone pressed her intercom button. "Hello? Is anyone there? This is me, Futaba." a voice crackled through the intercom.

  Fumi quickly responded through the intercom, "Futaba! It's us, we transformed into a train and we're currently on the Naoetsu-Niigata line!"

  Futaba replied, "I know. We, with Kana, Haruka, and Alice, have 5-day pass tickets, so we can ride you all any time we want."

  The girls couldn't help but laugh with excitement and joy. They had successfully pulled off their daring train transformation and were now on their way to new adventures.

  After the magic was over, Futaba picked them up and put them into a cushioned box with a fancy printout: "The E129 Train Cars - A Journey Through Niigata".

  She smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction and excitement at the thought of adding these train cars to her collection of model trains. She knew that they would always remind her of the incredible journey she had experienced, and the skilled and dedicated team of train cars that had made it possible.

  Futaba and her friends said their goodbyes and left the depot, feeling grateful for the experience and excited for the adventures that lay ahead. As they walked into the night, they knew that they would always remember the E129 train cars and the magic of their journey through the Niigata countryside.

  Futaba, Alice, Haruka, and Kana returned to their home in Tokyo. Futaba put the box on the desk in the guest room.

  As Futaba placed the box on the desk, her friends gathered around to take a closer look at the miniature train cars. They marveled at the intricate details and the perfect replica of the E129 train that they had ridden earlier that day.

  Alice pointed at Ryoko and said, "Look at the tiny windows and the perfectly replicated paint job. It's amazing how much attention to detail they put into these model trains."

  Haruka nodded in agreement, "And the undercarriage is just as detailed as the rest of the train. It's clear that a lot of time and effort went into making this."

  Kana added, "And now we have a permanent reminder of our adventure on the E129 train. It's like we can relive the experience anytime we want."

  Futaba smiled, feeling proud of their souvenir. "Yes, and it's a great addition to our collection of model trains. It's amazing how much these little trains can capture the essence of a real train journey."

  They spent the rest of the evening admiring the miniature train cars, discussing their day's adventure, and planning their next railway trip. The E129 train and its train cars had left a lasting impression on them, and they couldn't wait for their next journey.

  Early in the morning, Futaba carefully placed Ryoko, Fumi, Chiaki, and Hayami on the N-gauge model rails, arranging them to match the layout of the tracks they had traveled the previous day. She positioned small buildings and model trees around them, creating a miniature landscape that resembled the Niigata countryside.

  As she admired her handiwork, Futaba smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. She was amazed at how realistic the train cars looked on the tiny rails, and she knew that she had captured the essence of the E129 train perfectly.

  Futaba's passion for trains had been ignited at a young age, and now she felt that she had found a new way to express her love for them. She knew that she would spend countless hours building and expanding her model train layout, always striving to make it more realistic and detailed.

  As she sat back and admired her creation, she imagined herself as a conductor, expertly navigating the tracks and providing a safe and comfortable ride for her passengers, just like Kenta and Takumi had done on the E129 train. And with her imagination, she knew that anything was possible.

  But then she remembered her mission. Futaba smiled and began her session, "Dear E129 model train cars. I'm talking with you."

  The miniature train cars on the N-gauge model rails appeared to come to life, as if they could hear Futaba speaking to them. They looked up at her with their tiny headlights and awaited her words.

  "I hope you all had a good rest, and thank you for your service yesterday," Futaba continued. "But now, I have a special task for you. I want to remember you, that you are not train cars at all."

  The miniature train cars looked at Futaba in confusion. "What do you mean, we are not train cars?" Hayami asked, her voice tinier than before.

  Futaba smiled and explained, "You are not train cars. You have your own souls, thoughts, and consciousness. You should just remember, who you are really. And I will help you with this task."

  The miniature train cars looked at each other in amazement, as if they were hearing this for the first time. It was a concept that was new and foreign to them.

  "But how can we remember who we really are?" Ryoko asked, her voice just as small as the others.

  Futaba leaned closer to the train cars and spoke softly, "Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Listen to the sound of your engines and feel the warmth of the tracks beneath you. Imagine yourself traveling across the countryside, carrying passengers safely and efficiently to their destinations."

  Futaba continued, "Remember that night when we all sneaked into the Niigata depot. And you became four train cars."

  The miniature train cars closed their tiny eyes and took a deep breath, as instructed by Futaba. They listened to the sound of their engines and felt the warmth of the tracks beneath them. They imagined themselves traveling across the Niigata countryside, carrying passengers safely and efficiently to their destinations.

  As they remembered that night at the Niigata depot, the train cars felt a strange sensation. It was as if a fog had lifted from their minds, and they suddenly had a new awareness of their existence.

  "We remember now," Hayami said, her voice filled with wonder. "We are not just train cars. We are more than that."

  Futaba smiled, "Yes, you are more than that. You all are my friends. Now remember your form, before you become train cars at that night. You were humans!"

  The miniature train cars opened their tiny eyes, looking up at Futaba in surprise. "Humans?" Chiaki repeated, her voice sounding amazed. "What do you mean?"

  Futaba chuckled softly, "Before that night at the Niigata depot, you were all human. Fumi used her nanomachines to transform herself and you into a complete train, a replica of E129 train, so that we could sneak past the guards and explore the depot. But now, it's time to transform back into your human forms."

  The miniature train cars looked at each other in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that they were once human beings. But as they closed their eyes again and tried to remember, they felt something stir within them.

  Futaba continued, "Chiaki is a schoolgirl and my classmate, she is a magical user. Fumi is my little sister, also a schoolgirl, two years younger than me, she is a nanomachines user. And Ryoko with Hayami is schoolgirls too, they are Fumi's classmates."

  The miniature train cars took another deep breath and tried to concentrate on their human forms. Slowly but surely, they began to interact with Fumi’s nanomachines. They felt a shift in their consciousness. The metal of their train bodies began to soften, and they could feel their limbs and fingers forming once again.

  One by one, the train cars transformed back into their human forms. Ryoko and Hayami became schoolgirls, their train bodies replaced with human bodies dressed in school uniforms. Fumi appeared as a younger girl, her nanomachines now forming part of her clothes and accessories. Chiaki stood taller than the rest, a confident and powerful magical user.

  The four girls looked at each other in amazement, still trying to adjust to their new human forms. But Futaba was there to guide them, to help them remember their true selves and the adventure they had shared the night before.

  "Welcome back," Futaba said with a smile. "Now, we can have more adventures together, both as train cars and as humans. And who knows, maybe one day we'll find a way to bring your train forms to life permanently."

  The newly transformed girls smiled at Futaba, feeling grateful for her guidance and excited for the adventures that lay ahead. They had discovered a new side of themselves, one that they never knew existed, and they were eager to explore it further.

  Chiaki said, "Whew, that was a unique experience! Thank you, Futaba to remember us, who we are really."

  Ryoko agreed, "It sure was. I never thought I would transform into a train car and back into a human again."

  Futaba chuckled, "Ryoko, this was your crazy idea to transform into that particular E129 train. You choose it because it has 4 car configuration?"

  Ryoko blushed a little and nodded, "Yes, that's right. I thought it would be fun to have all of us transform into a different car and explore the depot as a complete train. And there was a nice countryside scenery in the rural areas, even with the coastal part."

  Fumi added, "And I thought it would be more convincing if we were an exact replica of the E129 train, so I used my nanomachines to make it happen."

  Hayami chimed in, "And I helped with the propulsion systems and made sure we moved smoothly and efficiently."

  The next moment Alice came into the room, with the tea and a plate full of homemade cookies, followed by Kana, Haruka, and Kana's cat familiar Kuro.

  Alice smiled, "Good morning, everyone! I see you're all back to your human forms."

  Kana added, "I hope you all had a good rest, we have some tea and cookies for you to enjoy."

  Kuro immediately checked the small N-gauge rails on the desk, complete with buildings, trees, and other miniature scenery.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' support and companionship. "Thank you, everyone. It's great to have such wonderful friends who share my passion for trains and adventures."

  As they all sat down to enjoy their tea and cookies, they chatted excitedly about their experiences the day before, reminiscing about the stunning landscapes they had seen and the unique adventure of transforming into train cars.

  Futaba knew that this was just the beginning of their adventures together, and she couldn't wait to see where their passion for trains and magic would take them next.

  With Ryoko, Hayami, Fumi, and Chiaki fully returned to their human selves, the group were enjoying tea and joked about their train experience.

  Alice served the tea and cookies to everyone, and they all sat around the table, enjoying the warm drinks and delicious treats.

  Kuro jumped onto the table and meowed as if asking for a cookie. The group laughed and Alice offered him a small piece of cookie, which he happily accepted.

  Futaba chuckled, "I noticed, how Ryoko and Hayami enjoyed being under full control. The strong Kenta's hand was pressing all their buttons and turning their handles."

  Ryoko blushed and replied, "Well, it was definitely a unique experience. I never thought I would enjoy being controlled like that, but it was a thrill to be a part of such a seamless operation."

  Hayami nodded in agreement, "Yes, it was quite exciting. Takumi is a skilled driver, and it was a pleasure to work with him and the other train cars."

  Fumi smiled, "This suits your submissive nature very well, Ryoko."

  Ryoko playfully rolled her eyes at Fumi's comment, "Hey now, let's not get too carried away with assumptions. It was just a fun experience, that's all."

  Chiaki chimed in, "And it was so handy to have personal air conditioning units integrated into the body, allowing us to stay cool and comfortable even in the heat of the day."

  The group continued to chat and laugh, enjoying each other's company and reminiscing about their train adventure. They all agreed that it was a day they would never forget and looked forward to many more adventures together in the future.

  Kana asked them, "And you even don't feel embarrassed when station workers looked under your undercarriages?"

  The group laughed at Kana's question, and Hayami replied, "Well, it was necessary for the workers to check our undercarriages and brake systems to ensure that we were safe to ride. It's just a part of being a train car, so we didn't feel embarrassed about it."

  Ryoko added, "Besides, we knew that we were built for function over form. So as long as we were able to provide a safe and comfortable ride for our passengers, that was all that mattered."

  Futaba nodded in agreement, "And speaking of providing a safe and comfortable ride, I think we should plan our next adventure. What do you say, my friends?"

  The group eagerly agreed, and they began to brainstorm ideas for their next adventure, with the excitement of what might come next filling the room.

  They continued to munch on their cookies and sip the tea, laughing and chatting as they enjoyed each other's company. The room was filled with warmth and happiness, and they felt grateful for the bond that they shared.

  As the evening wore on, the group said their goodbyes and went to their separate rooms and homes, looking forward to their next adventure together.

  Futaba sat in her room, reflecting on the day's events. She smiled, knowing that her friends were more than just train cars or airplanes, but unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings.

  She also felt grateful for the magic that allowed her to connect with them on a deeper level and help them remember who they truly were.

  As she drifted off to sleep, Futaba thought about all the possibilities that lay ahead for her and her friends, and she felt excited for the adventures that awaited them.
