Lady's New Cylinder
{theme to shining time station starts}

A few days later, Lady returned to do her work at Edwards branch line. She felt pleased to return, because her job of taking lumber to the mills was a bit unpleasant and Boring, she felt glad of a change. That morning, she had done her passenger runs, and arrived at the sheds to rest. There, Lady found she was the only engine left at the sheds.

Lady: Good. That'll give me time to rest for my afternoon off.

And she closed her eyes to rest, but not for long, when her Driver woke her up.

Driver: Lady! Are you awake?

Lady: {yawns} Yes.

Driver: we have been given three jobs to do, We're going to take coal to the mines, some fruit to the depot, and cargo from the harbor to Wellsworth.

Lady: {stirring} Right-o. {She barely leaves the turntable, when she feels a sharp pain and stops suddenly} What's happened? I feel so weak!

Her Driver and fireman inspected Lady all over. It only took a few minutes.

Driver: You've got a leaking cylinder must of been from hitting the cars of lumber. It's not too bad. We can patch it up tonight.

Lady groaned. She felt tired when she prepared her coal trucks, and saw Dennis taking coal trucks, too.

Lady: Dennis! I've got a leaking cylinder! Can you help me take my coal trucks to the mines?

Dennis: I'm sorry, Lady. I've got a delivery to make.

And Dennis left, leaving Lady very upset. She started off well, but soon the strain on her boiler was beginning to tell when they reached Gordon's hill.

Lady: {out of breath} It's never... been this bad... before!

Lady struggled hard, but at last came to a stop, and her Driver backed the train down. Lady felt pleased after a rest and a drink.

Lady: What will happen if I do that again?

Driver: It won't happen again. We're getting a banker this time.

Soon, Lady's banker arrived, in the shape of a very worried Stirling single. It was Emily.

Emily: Are you okay, Lady?

Lady: No. I've got a leaking cylinder. I need help to get up the hill.

So, Emily pushed and Lady pulled. At last, Lady made it to the coal mines, and there was Rosie.

Rosie: Are you okay, Lady?

Lady: {grunts} I'll be fine.

Rosie: Even so, you do need that left cylinder looking at. They'll probably send you to Crewe, like they did with Henry.

Lady: {grumpily} Bah! I'm fine, I can be fixed at our sheds!

there shed was a big shed, but it's not well equipped to deal with overhauls. When Henry was away for a new shape, he too had been sent to Crewe, but other locomotives like Spencer, Gordon, and Flying Scotsman would also have to be sent to Doncaster or Darlington, the big engine works at the old London and North Eastern Railway. Lady would probably be sent to Crew herself, but she was convinced that her Driver could repair her in the sheds.

Soon, Lady was ready for her second job - taking fruit to the depot, when she saw Neville about to leave.

Lady: Neville, wait! My left cylinder's hurting me bad! Can you help me take the fruit to the depot?

Neville: I'm sorry, Lady. I'm running late and I've no time help!

Lady was more upset than ever, even more by the time she reached the depot, some of the fruit was bad, and could not be sold.

Depot Worker: Some of this fruit's horrible! Lady You need to be sent to Crew for repairs!

Lady simply grimaced, and set off for her third job in the afternoon, taking cargo to Wellsworth yards. When she arrived, Rosie was here, taking side rods on a flat bed.

Lady: Rosie, stop! Can you help me take the cargo to Wellsworth? My cylinder's hurting even more!

Rosie: The ships been delayed because of rough seas, and won't arrive until tomorrow, now i must hurry.

Lady felt pleased, and was glad to have some time off. As she went back to the sheds, she found Percy was pulling an afternoon train, but had broken down.

Percy: Where are you going in such a hurry?

Lady told Percy all about wanting an afternoon off, and all about Dennis, Neville, and Rosie.

Lady: I thought friends helped each other, but they were all too busy to help me!

Percy: That's because they've all been helping me! I broke down, so Dennis brought some coal, Neville took my passengers, and Rosie brought me a new side-rod.

Lady was surprised, and knew she made a mistake. Dennis, Neville, and Rosie had been helping a friend after all.

Lady: They were all helping you? Is there anything I can do to help you, Percy?

Percy: But what about your rest? Your cylinder's leaking!

As by now the damage could be clearly seen.

Lady: It doesn't matter, helping a friend is much more important. What can I do?

Percy: I need you take my coaches back to the main station.

Lady: I don't know if I'll be able to move them, but I must try!

Lady coupled up to the coaches. She pulled as hard as she could. Her cylinder was getting worse, but Lady didn't feel it. Soon, Percy's coaches began to move.

Percy: Thank you, Lady! Sorry about your time off!

But Lady didn't mind. She was helping her friend, and it was better than time off any day. When she returned home, Mr. Jarrow was waiting for her.

Mr. Jarrow: Lady, I heard about your cylinder, and I'm very pleased with your hard work and determination today. I'm sending you to Crewe for an overhaul and a new cylinder.

Lady was doubtful. The next day she went to Crewe for her new cylinder. And when she came back, her paint glistened in the sun, a new cylinder gleaming on her left-hand side, and she was smiling cheerfully.

Rosie: Lady, you do look better!

Lady: {grinning} It was a nice, painless job! I can go back to work now.

And so, she did. Pulling her goods and passenger trains, Lady carried on as normal, and whistled at all the stations. She did her trains so well that James was jealous.

THE END

(end theme to shining time station starts)

Come Out, Emily!
"Once an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain. she went into a tunnel, and squeaked through it's funnel, and wouldn't come out again!"

The engine's name was Emily. Her Driver and Fireman argued with her, but she would not listen.

"This rain will spoil my lovely Dark Green paint and Gold stripes," she said.

The Guard blew his whistle till he had no more breath, and waved his flags till his arms ached; but Emily still stayed in the tunnel, and blew steam at him.

"I am so not going to spoil my lovely Dark Green paint and Gold stripes for you," she said rudely.

Lady comes to Breakfast
One day Lady was shunting in the yards shunting trucks.

"You can almost manage without me!' said her driver.

Lady had become conceited. She didn't realise her Driver was jokeing.

"Driver says i can manage by my self," she said to the others.

"Stop being silly!" snorted Percy.

"I'd never go without my Driver," said Rosie earnestly. "I'd be frightend."

"Pooh!" boasted Lady. "I'm not scared."

It was dark next morning when the Firelighter came. Lady drowsed comfortably as the warmth spread through her boiler. She woke again in daylight. Percy and Rosie were still asleep. Lady suddently rememberd.

"Silly stick-in-the-muds," she chuckeld. "I'll show them! Driver hasn't come yet, so here goes."

She cautiously tried first one piston, then the other.

"They're moving! They're moving!" she whisperd. "I'll just goout, then I'll stop and 'wheeeeesh'. That'll make them jump!"

Lady thought she was being clever; but really she was only moving because a careless cleaner had meddled with her controls. She soon found her mistake. She tried to 'wheeeeesh', but she couldn't. She tried to stop, but she couldn't. She just keept rolling along.

"I'm starting to regret this idea," she said.

A bird flew infront of her.

"The buffers will stop me," she thought hopefully, but that siding had no buffers. It just ended at the road.

Lady's wheels left the rails and crunched the tarmac.

"Horrors!" she exclaimed and shut her eyes, She didn't dare look at what was coming next.

The Stationmaster's family were having breakfest. They were eating ham, bacon, and eggs.

"Breakfest is good dear," he said.

There was a crash - the house rocked - broken glass tinkeld - plaster was everywere. Lady had collected a bush on her travels. She peered into the room through its leaves. She couldn't speak.

The Stationmaster grimly strode out and shut off steam. His whife ppicked up her plate.

"You miserable engine," she scolded. "Just look at what you've done to are breakfest! Now i shall have to cook some more." She banged the door. More plaster fell. This time it fell on Lady.

Lady felt depressed. The plaster was tickly. She wanted to sneeze, but she didn't dare in case the house fell on her. Nobody came for a long time. Everyone was much to busy.

"I'll never get out," she thought sadly.

At last workmen propped up the house with strong poles. They laid rails through the garden. Soon Donald and Douglas arived.

"Look at what we have here!" said Donald.

Both chuckeld, and puffing hard, managed to haul Lady back to the yard. Her funnel was bent, Bits of fencing, the bush, and a broken window-frame festooned her front, which was badly twisted. She looked comic.

"Hey Percy!" said Rosie. "I thought Lady said she could manage running by her self!"

"She did say that, but i don't think this is what she had in mind!" he said. Rosie and Percy laughd.

Then Sir Topham Hatt arived. She was in discrace.

"You are a verry naughty engine."

" I know, Sir. I'm sorry Sir." Lady's voice was muffeld behind her bush.

"You must go to the works, and have your front end mended. It will be a long job."

"Yes, Sir," faultered Lady sadly.

"Meanwhile," said Sir Toppham Hatt, "A diesel shunter will do your work."

"A D-D-Diesel, Sir?" Lady splutterd.

"Yes, Lady. Diesels always stay in their sheds untill they are wanted. Diesels never gallivant off to breakfest in Stationmaster's houses." Sir Topham Hatt turned on his heel, and stearnly walked away.

Lady, Rosie and the fruitful day
It was a lovely day On Sodor. Rosie was pleased with herself. her hair looked sleekly in the sun. she reached the food court just as Lady came by with an army of ninjas attacking her. Rosie was being her self.

Rosie: What are you doing here Lady? Fatty has been waiting for his food for 10 seconds!

Lady: I know. These ninjas have been giving me a problem all morning.

Rosie: That’s no excuse Lady. Ninjas are supposed to give you trouble cause they’re awesome. Now I have to go somewhere.

And Rosie went on her way.

Lady: (Muttering) Narcissistic pansy, I wish I could teach her a lesson.

Rosie arrived at the docks. It was fruit day. There was a lot of fruit to go to markets. Rosie got some crates and went off. On the way, she saw Thomas and Emily, and Flora.

Rosie: Really reliable! That’s me! Pity the same can’t be said for Lady. Goodbye.

And Rosie left.

Emily: Now what was that all about?

Thomas: That was trouble.

Emily: Really? I always thought her name was Rosie.

Thomas: No Emily! That was Rosie about to get into trouble.

Emily: Well why didn’t you say so earlier.

Thomas: I have no idea.

Flora: I hope she dose not get into alot of trouble.

Meanwhile, Lady was in the bathroom. she soon got a phone call.

Lady: So Rosie got stuck in mud. Lady to the rescue.

So Lady ran off soon she saw that Rosie was on the ground in mud. she looked like a midget. Lady laughed.

Lady: (Laughing) Looks like you’re in a bit of a “Jam” eh Rosie? A “Sticky” situation if I do say so myself.

Rosie: (Mad) SHUT UP, It’s not funny.

Lady: And not really reliable either. I’m surprised you let this happen Rosie. Nothing should stop us.

Rosie: Now are you going to deliver this fruit for me or stand there and make fun of me all day?

Lady: Well that last thought sounds like fun. But, I’d better make up for lost time. One more thing.

Rosie: What?

Lady messed up Rosie's’ hair.

Rosie: HEY! YOU MESSED UP MY HAIR!

Lady: I have always wanted to do that. Take that you pansy! Now to leave before I die.

Rosie: When I get out of this mud Lady, you are so dead!

But Lady was long gone. Then she hit a hole in the road

Lady: oh Sh*t.

Narrator: and got covered in fruit. she looked like a snowman made out of fruit.

Lady: aw man, just look at me, I look ugly.

Narrator: she sobbed, Fatty waddled over.

Fatty: Lady, you are not to blame for the hole. But I DON’T run a jam factory.

Lady: Yes sir I mean no sir.

And Lady went home to get clean. That night, Rosie and Lady felt sorry for themselves. And they had no more arguments after that. (For now).

Thomas and the Valentines Day suprise
It was Valentines Day on the Island of sodor. And love was in the air. All the engines were excited. There was going to be a big festival at Great Waterton. And there was also to be a Valentines Day special. All the engines wanted to pull it, but they knew Sir Topham Hatt would chose only one of them to pull it. Thomas and Stanley were drinking some colas. Then Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

Thomas: Hello sir.

Stanley: Would you like some of our cola sir?

STH: No thank you Stanley. I'm going on a diet. Anyway, I've come to tell you both your jobs for the day. You are both to work at the coaling plant getting trains ready for Donald and Douglas. And then later I will chose someone to pull the Valentines Day special.

Thomas was excited. He hoped he would be chosen. Sir Topham Hatt drove away. Just then, Emily puffed up right next to Thomas. She was on her way to the docks to get Henry's train ready for him.

Thomas: Hello Emily!

Emily: (Blushes)

Emily was so nervous she puffed quickly away without a word. Thomas was confused.

Stanley: Come on Thomas. Let's race to the coaling plant. Loser has to do Sir Topham Hatt's laundry for the whole weekend.

Thomas: You're on! And there's no way I'll lose to you and have to mess his undies buddy.

Thomas/Stanley: Ready, GO!

And they set off, Thomas and Stanley were each determined not to lose. Meanwhile, Emily was on her way to the docks. But she couldn't stop thinking about Thomas. Thomas and Emily had been good friends for a while. But lately Emily has begun to really like him. Not just as a friend, but something more. But she didn't know how to explain her feelings for him. Then, an idea flew into her funnel.

Emily: I know. I'll give him a special suprise for Valentines Day. That should prove my love for him.

So Emily didn't go to the docks. Instead, she went down the branch line to get some info. Emily soon found Oliver and Duck playing ping pong. Toad was the score keeper. And the score was tied at 6 points.

Toad: Alright Mr. Oliver and Mr. Duck. Whoever gets this point wins.

Duck/Oliver: Let's do this!

Emily: Hello! What are you doing?

Duck: We're playing ping pong.

Oliver: What are you doing anyway?

Emily: I want to get Thomas a suprise for Valentines Day. Then maybe, he will realize my love for him.

Duck: Well, why not do something fun with him?

Oliver: (hits ball past Duck) I WIN!

Duck: HEY! You cheated!

Oliver: No I didn't.

Toad: It's all over then. Mr. Oliver wins.

Duck: Oh yeah? We'll see about that.

Emily: While you two fight, I'm gonna get more info. Bye

Duck/Oliver/Toad: Bye then.

And Emily puffed away. Soon, she saw Molly. She was having a polishing and she looked grand. Emily and Molly were good friends.

Molly: Hi!

Emily: Oh hey Molly. What you all shiny for?

Molly: I have a hot date with James tonight at the festival. So I want to look my best. What are you up to?

Emily: I want to get Thomas a special suprise for Valentines Day. Then maybe he will realize my love for him. Do you have any thoughts?

Molly: Oh dear, looks like you're in love with him. Well, you could ask him out on a date. Or kiss him or even make a nice poem or give him some fowers. I've seen many people do that when they're in love.

Emily: Hmm. Ask him on a date. Well I hope your date goes well.

Molly: Good luck.

Emily came to a junction. Rosie was there. She and Emily were also good friends.

Rosie: What's the matter Emily? You should be happy since it's Valentines Day.

Emily: I'm in love with Thomas and I want to give him a special suprise for Valentines Day.

At first, Rosie was jelous, but she then saw that Emily was in a desperate need. So, she helped.

Rosie: Why not do a special job with him like the Valentines Day special?

Emily: Job?! Oh no! I was supposed to be at the docks. I'm going to be late!

Emily puffed as fast as she could to the docks. But she didn't pay attention to what she was doing. Then there was trouble. Emily went down a flooded track. And the water put out her fire Emily was stuck.

Emily: Oh dear, now I'll never give Thomas a suprise.

Emily felt terrible, and felt like a silly engine.

Emily: If only I had told Thomas earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Stanley's race had ended with a tie. Now nobody had to do Sir Topham Hatt's laundry. Soon, the trains where ready.

Donald: Now that's what we call good work.

Douglas: Aye. Thank ye wee lads.

Thomas/Stanley: You Wellcome.

Sir Topham Hatt arrived with bad news.

STH: Emily has not arrived at the docks. Herny will be late.

Thomas was worried.

Thomas: We must find her.

Thomas and Stanley went off with Sir Topham Hatt to look for Emily. Soon Thomas came towards the flooded track. And there was Emily.

Thomas: Emily? What are you doing here?

STH: Why weren't you at the docks?

Emily: Thomas. I have to tell you something.

Thomas: What is it?

Emily: Well, Thomas. We've been great friends for a while right?

Thomas: Yeah.

Emily: Well, I really like you. Not just as a friend. But something more.

Thomas: So that's why you blushed this morning when I said hello.

Emily: Yes. I was too nervous to express my love for you, so I wanted to get you a special suprise for Valentines Day. But I ended up in this mess.

Thomas: Well Emily, I too have a confession. For I also had the same feelings for you.

That made Emily very happy.

Emily: So, would like to go out with me?

Thomas: Sure.

Wheel turn by wheel turn, Thomas chuffed into the flood. The water was up to his buffers. But Thomas didn't give up.

Thomas: I'll make it.

Soon Thomas and Emily's buffers were touching.

Emily: (Blushing)

Then Thomas pulled her slowly and carefully out of the water.

STH: Emily, do you want Thomas?

Emily: Yes sir. More than anything in the world.

STH: Then, how would you both like to pull the Valentines Day special?

Emily: Oh thank you sir! But what about my day's jobs?

Stanley: I'll do your jobs for you.

Emily: Thank you Stanley.

Thomas: Yeah thanks man.

STH: Then it will be arranged.

Narrator: So, Stanley did Emily's jobs, and Thomas had Emily restoked with dry coal. Then they collected the Valentines Day special. They were having a wonderful time together. Soon they reached Great Waterton. All the children were pleased to see Thomas and Emily together as a couple.That night, Thomas and Emily watched the fun of the festival by each other's sides with the other engines.

Emily: It's beautiful.

Thomas: So are you.

Emily: (blushes)aww. I love you Thomas.

Thomas: I love you too Emily.

Emily closed her eyes and puckered up her lips. Thomas knew she wanted him to kiss her, so he pressed his lips up to hers. Emily felt a thousand thoughts in her head. She was kissing the engine of her dreams. Thomas thought the same thing she thought. It was there first kiss. And they shared it. All the engines cheered and whistled at the sight of Thomas and Emily kissing. Thomas and Emily didn't want this special love to ever end. The fireworks made a sign that said "ThomasxEmily."

Molly's dream christmas
It was Christmas Eve on the Island of Sodor. Snow had coverd the tracks. Everyone was busy. Henry was collecting the Christmas carolers. Fergus was taking Christmas presents. And Stanley was delivering the Christmas tree. Thomas and Emily were having thier snowplows put on to help the Scotish Twins. Emily was being funny.

Emily: Thomas, does this plow make my wheels look big?

(Looks at the snow plow then at her drive wheels)

Thomas: They are big silly.

Emily: I know. I just like to be funny.

Thomas: Well, you ready?

Emily: Almost.

Emily gave Thomas a big kiss.

Emily: Now I'm ready.

Emily puffed beautifully away.

Thomas: That's my girlfriend. The most beautiful engine in the world.

Emily: (blushes) awww. Thomas you're making me blush (giggles).

Thomas: I know. Now lets go.

Emily: Okay.

So the two love birds set off to help Donald and Douglas on the way, they saw James. He was upset.

Thomas: What's the matter man? It's almost Christmas and here you are down in the dumps.

James: I was playing my favorite game Snake Boxer 5, but I can't find my manual for the game. It has the cheat codes to unlock the super secret forbidden mode.

Emily: Where did you last see it?

James: Last week near the fun machine.

Thomas and Emily went off to do they're job. James went off to continue his search. But Molly had overheard. She was a pretty young tender engine with shiny yellow paint and big wheels like Emily except Emily's were much bigger than Molly's but Molly had twice as many as Emily. Everyone on Sodor knew that Molly had a huge crush on James. She loved him very much. She wanted to have a special christmas with him.

Molly: I wonder where that Snake Boxer 5 manual went. I can find it and give it to my Jamesy for Christmas.

So Molly went on her way. Soon, she saw Toby. He was in a hurry and he looked scared to death.

Toby: (Panicking) Quick! Hide Me!

Molly: From what?

Mavis: (offscreen) Toby-muffin! Where are you?

Toby: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! THAT!

Molly: You're on your own dude. I'm under a mission of Love.

Molly puffed away.

Toby: PLEASE! Don't leave me!

He beggd.

Mavis: There you are!

Toby: Oh No!

Mavis: come on Toby-muffin. Let's make-out under the mistletoe.

Toby: (clawing on ground) Please! Have mercy on me!(cries) I don't wanna go under the mistletoe with Mavis! She scares me!

Meanwhile, Molly was puffing along. Soon, she saw James. James was holding a metal detector.

Molly: hello hottness.

James: What?

Molly: Nothing(face glows) So what are you doing?

James: Well, I'm using this metal detector to find my Snaker Boxer 5 manual.

Molly: But it only works on metal.

James: Not anymore. I had Edward rewire it. Now it can find non-metal items as well as metal ones.

Molly: Cool.

James: So far all I found is this crappy old bottle cap. And this old tuning fork and a piece of an old pot. But I'm still looking. But first I gotta keep Percy from getting drunk on eggnog again. Like what happened last year.

Just then, a green flashing light whooshed past. It was Percy. He had a shirt over his head and was acting crazy.

Percy: I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED EGGNOG FOR MY BUNGHOLE!

James: Oh No! Not again. GET BACK HERE CORNHOLIO!

James chased Percy all around sodor. Molly puffed on. Soon, she was at the sodor mall. Engines were buying presents. Then, she saw something by the ladies room. It was James' Snake Boxer 5 manual.

Molly: I found it! Now James will be pleased.

Soon it was Christmas. Everyone was opening presents. Percy got his own "how to not get drunk on eggnog" novel. Thomas got a check for $100,000 from his cousins. Emily got some beautiful ear rings from Thomas. And Fatty got some coupons for Jenny Craig. James looked at his present.

James: "To: James. Love: Molly."

He opened it slowly and gasped in delight.

James: My Snaker Boxer 5 manual! You found it! Now I can get access to it's secret forbidden mode. Thank you Molly! And here is your present.

James gave Molly a heart shaped golden locket. It had the words "JamesxMolly" carved on it. On the inside was a picture of them together.

Molly: It beautiful.

James: Not as beautiful as your eyes.

Molly: (blushing) Awww.

Molly then gave James the biggest kiss he had ever known. His cheeks were as red as his paint. That night, Molly snuggled with James as he played Snake Boxer 5's secret mode. It was the best christmas Molly ever had.

Thomas and Emily's wedding
It was a beautiful evening on the island of sodor. Thomas and Emily had been going out for a while. But tonight, Thomas wanted this date to be very special. Tonight was the night he was going to ask Emily to marry him. Thomas was at the washdown when Percy came up.

Percy: Hey Thomas! Wanna head to the arcade? They got new games.

Thomas: I can't Percy. I have a date tonight.

Percy: What do you have planned for that?

Thomas: I'm going to ask Emily to marry me.

Percy: Thomas you sly dog.

Thomas: Wish me luck.

Soon, Thomas took Emily on a date to Black Loch. Emily liked going there. She liked to watch the seals play and dance in the water. But she is happier when Thomas is with her.

Thomas: Emily. I have to tell you something.

Emily: What is it Thomas?

Thomas: Emily, ever since that fateful day we met, I was stunned by your beauty. And since then, I have fallen in love with you.

Emily: (blushes)

Thomas: I've decided that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Emily. Will you marry me?

Thomas showed her an Emerald ring. Emily was very happy.

Emily: Yes! Of course I'll marry you! Nothing would make me happier than to be your wife.

Then Emily gave Thomas a big kiss. Duck and Oliver arrived. They were dropping off passengers.

Duck: What are you 2 doing?

Thomas/Emily: We're getting married!

Oliver: That's great! Hope you 2 have a nice wedding.

The news soon spread about Thomas and Emily's engagment. Even Sir Topham Hatt had heard. And he went to see Thomas and Emily right away.

Fatty: Thomas, I'm very proud of you!

Thomas: For what?

Fatty: You are the second engine to pop the question on sodor.

Thomas: Who was the first?

Fatty: Your father.

Thomas: My DAD?!?

Fatty: Yes. He proposed to your mom.

Thomas: I always thought I was special.

Fatty: Also. If you get married, you'll take over the railway once I die. It's even in my will.

Just then, Billy arrived picking his nose.

Emily: (grossed out) EEEEWW!

Billy: What's all the jibberish and jabberish about?

Thmas: I'm getting married!

Billy: Married? Well butter my buffers and call me a biscuit. I never knew you had it in you Thomas.

Thomas: Me neither. Now shoo!

Billy: Can I be the best man?

Thomas/Emily: NO!

Billy: Why not?

Thomas: Cause we saw you picking your nose.

Billy: Aw crap. Well there goes my weekend.

Thomas: Who will be my best man?

Thomas had to choose between his closet friends Percy and Toby. Meanwhile, Emily was getting some bride's maids. So she went to see Molly, Mavis and Daisy.

Emily: Hey girls! You all wanna be my bride's maids?

Molly: Sure.

Mavis: I have nothing better to do.

Daisy: Will Percy be there?

Emily: Yes.

Many people knew Daisy had a crush on Percy since season 2.

Emily: Maybe you can ask him out.

Daisy: But what if he doesn't like me?

Emily: At least you try.

Mavis: I can be with my Toby-muffin.

Molly: Say that again and I'll puke.

Emily: Mavis, why can't you give up on Toby?

Mavis: Never. He's my Toby-Muffin.

Soon, the wedding was planned for Thursday. Thomas finally chose Percy to be his best man. But Toby got to arrange the bacholor party. But Rosie wanted to ruin the wedding. First, she tried to ruin Emily's wedding gown. But she couldn't get past the gaurds. Then, she tried to ruin the cake. But got covered in bird crap and fell down. Then she decided to object at it. Soon, the big day came. As Emily was getting ready, Lady appeared.

Lady: Hello Emily.

Emily: Lady? Why are you here?

Lady: For your wedding. And I brought a friend. Oh Proteus.

Just then, a yellow engine that resembled Sir Handel arrived.

Proteus: Proteus the magical engine at your service. Let us gaze into my magic lamp to see what Thomas is up to.

So They saw Thomas prepare for the wedding.

Thomas: (joyfull) Today is the day. I'm finally getting married. This is a dream come true. (sadly) I wish my parents were here to see this though.

Emily: Is there anything that lamp can't do?

Proteus: It can't make a proper Ice-cream sundae.

Lady: Here is a wedding present to Thomas.

Lady gave her a necklace with a shiny stone on it.

Emily: What's this?

Lady: A special stone. It contains my powers in case he's in danger. And here's your present.

Lady gave her the same necklace.

Soon, the wedding began. The bride's maids partnered with Toby, James and Percy. Thomas wished his parents were here. He had already met Emily's parents. And they were very nice. Fatty was the preist.

Fatty: Deary beloved, we are gathered here today to join together Thomas and Emily in holy wedlock. If there are those who object to this wedding, speak now.

Rosie: I OBJECT!

Thomas: Not again!

Rosie: Thomas please don't marry Emily. Marry me! I'll treat you right.

Fatty: Security! Thomas. Do you take Emily to be your wife?

Thomas: I do!

Fatty: Emily. Do you take Thomas to be you husband?

Emily: I do!

Fatty: By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and ...

Thomas' Parents: Sorry we're late.

Thomas couldn't believe it. It was his parents.

Thomas: MOM! DAD!

Thomas was happy his parents were here.

Thomas: I thought I'd never see you guys again!

Thomas' Mom: We're so proud of you Thomas.

Thomas' Dad: Son, you have done something your old man has been too afraid to do. You stepped up to your enemies. Carry on fatty.

Fatty: I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Thomas and Emily had a deep long kiss. Rosie was taken away. The wedding went off with a bang, and Thomas found his parents. Thomas and Emily went on their honeymoon. But it wasn't the end. Daisy finally told Percy she liked him. James popped the question to Molly and Murdoch finally left them alone. Toby ran from Mavis while Diesel chased him with a sledge hammer. And Lady and Proteus knew this wasn't over.

Lady: Thomas has done well.

Proteus: Yes. But he has an even bigger test ahead.

Lady: That was nice of you to find his parents.

Proteus: Well he DID say "I wish."

Then they vanished. As for Diesel 10. He thought he was too cool for this movie. So he stayed home and watched Adam Sandler movies with Splodge. Thomas and Emily were happy. Now they could always be together. And soon they would have children. But that's another story.

A happy new year for Jack
It was New Year's Eve on the Isand of Sodor. The Pack was talking about their New Year's resolution.

Ned: I'm going to be less clumsy.

Patrick: I'm gonna stop bragging about congrete.

Max: Me and Monty are gonna turn over a new leaf.

Monty: Yeah what he said.

Alfie: Yeah that'll be the day.

Jack: What's your's Isobella?

Isobella: Um to ...

Just then, Miss Jenny arrived with the foreman.

Miss Jenny: Today, you all will have some jobs to do. Now good luck and remember...

The Pack: Safety first.

Miss Jenny: Excellent. After the work is done, we shall celebrate the New Year.

Soon, the Pack had left for work. Except Isobella. She really liked Jack. Ever since the day Jack came to the Pack, she had felt different. Her New Years resolution was to tell Jack she liked him. Later, Percy was taking Jack and Alfie to prepare for the party.

Jack: Hey Percy, what is your New Year's resolution?

Percy: I don't know. It hasn't really been the same since Thomas and Emily left for their honeymoon.

Just then Daisy went by and she tooted at him. Percy whistled back cheerfully.

Jack: Percy I had asked Isobella what hers was but she did not answer me.

Percy: Well Jack why don't you ask her later?

Jack: I will. Oh and Percy, who was that diesel railcar that tooted at you?

Percy: That was my girlfriend Daisy.

Jack: Percy you sly dog!

Soon they got back to the yard where the Party was to take place, when Jack got off the flatbed he saw Isobella, when she saw Jack comeing she sped to some were else.

Isobella: I just can't keep avoiding him, but I am not ready to tell him yet.

Just then Miss Jenny came up.

Miss Jenny: Isobella you are to help Jack prepare for the party.

Isobella: Alright Miss Jenny.

And she left to work with Jack.

Isobella: Hey Jack how has your day been?

Jack: Why did you not answer me this morning?

Isobella: (thinking) Come on Isobella. Think of an excuss. *normal. Hey Jack don't we have work to do?

Jack: Oh yeah that's right. I need to help get the party set.

Isobella: Well Miss Jenny told me to help you out so let's get to work.

So they got to work, the party was only 2 hour's away and Jack had a rest while Isobella went some where else.

Isobella: Well the, party is in 2 hours. I have to tell him.

Then there was trouble. Isobella rolled too far and fell in a big hole left by Alfie. She totted for help, but no one came.

Isobella: I hope someone will come soon.

Jack: I wonder where Isobella is.

Just then he heard Isobella's cry for help and came to her aid.

Jack: What are you doing down there Isobella?

Isobella was in tears that Jack had to see her like this.

Isobella: Jack I need you to go for help.

And he did. Soon he came back with Kelly.

Kelly: I will have you out soon Isobella.

And with Kelly's crane arm and Jack's front loader, they lifted Isobella out of the hole and put her on the ground. Then Kelly left to go take a nap.

Isobella: Jack there is something I have to tell you. Ever since the day you came, I had felt different. And really I like you.

Jack: Well Isobella, I like you as well.

This made Isobella very happy and she kissed Jack. and later they joined the others near the big clock. And after Miss Jenny had a talk with Alfie, he came up to Isobella.

Alfie: Isobella, I just want to say sorry.

Isobella: That's alright Alfie. But I have something to ask you. Why did you leave a big hole in the ground?

Alfie: I made a bet with Max and Monty that I could dig a big hole before midnight. And I WON!

Max: Aw crap! We lost our weeks earnings!

Monty: Well, only one thing left to do.

Max and Monty were on top of a big hill.

Max and Monty: Ready, set, GO!

And they charged down the hill at full speed. They crashed into a tree.

Max and Monty: EXELSEOR!

And the clock struck midnight. It was the new year. Everyone celebrated. Isobella was suggled happily next to Jack. It was the perfect New Years ever for her.

A surprise for Thomas
It was a beautiful day on the Island of Sodor. Thomas and Emily where about to return from their honeymoon. Percy and the other engines were throwing a "Welcome home" party for them at Great Waterton(Except for James and Molly who were too busy making out to care and Mavis who was chasing Toby once again). Percy was just dieing to see his best friend again. Everything was all set up. The food was tasty. The lemonade was lemony. And there was a Welcome Home cake decorated with chocolate frosting. But best of all, Fatty was nowhere to be seen. So the food was saved.

Percy: I think I hear them.

They got set as two engines chuffed into the station.

Engines: Welcome home!

But it wasn't Thomas and Emily who arrived, it was Donald and Douglas.

Donald: This isn't Scotland.

Douglas: Aye. But thank ye anyway.

Just then Thomas and Emily chuffed in from their honeymoon.

Thomas/Emily: We're back!

Engines: Surprise! Welcome home!

Thomas/Emily: Thank you for all you have done!

Percy: THOMAS! I am happy to see you again.

Thomas: Hey Percy! Did you take good care of Annie and Clarabel?

Percy: Yes I did Thomas. They missed you alot.

Thomas: Emily why don't you stay here and party? I have to go and see Annie and Clarabel.

Emily: Alright Thomas.

And he set off. Annie and Clarabel where very pleased to see him.

Annie and Clarabel: THOMAS! We are so happy to see you.

Thomas: Come on let's go for a run and you can tell me all that happened while I was away.

Annie and Clarabel: Well just the other day, Percy got him self covered in flour. It was funny as crap.

Even Thomas thought it was funny.

Annie and Clarabel: And two days ago we were stalled because a tree fell across the line. Percy tried to push it out of the way but got covered in leaves.

Thomas: I think the party is still on. How about we head to Great Waterton?

Annie and Clarabel: Alright Thomas. We'll go to the party.

Soon they were at Great Waterton, but Emily was not there.

Thomas: Where is Emily, Percy?

Percy: Oh she wanted to go to the sheds to sleep. She was very tired.

Thomas: Well then let's party.

So the party went on for three hours. but they ended the party when they saw Fatty coming.

Henry: Oh CRAP! Here comes Fatty and he looks HUNGRY!! Quick hide the food!

And they did.

Fatty: I thought I heard a party going on. Must be all in my head.

he said and left, Later Thomas was heading to the sheds to see Emily.

Thomas: There you are sleepy head.

Emily: Oh. Hi honey.

Thomas: How you feel?

Emily: Lately I've been very tired.*Boiler rumbles". But now I'm very hungry.

Emily went to the fridge that Fatty had installed in the sheds. She made herself the biggest, spiciest burrito Thomas had ever seen. And her beverage was spicy hot sauce.

Thomas: Uh Emily, what is that?

Emily: Oh. It's just a super extra spicy hot fireball burrito.

Thomas: Why do you want to eat that?

Emily: I've been having these strange cravings for really spicy food. Want a bite?

Thomas: No thanks. I don't want to burninate my insides.

Emily: Suit yourself. More for me.

Emily ate the whole burrito under 30 seconds. Then she drank all the hot sauce in one gulp.

Emily:*Burping fire. Whew! That hit the spot.

That night, Thomas couldn't sleep. He was worried about Emily. Next morning, Thomas had to do Emily's jobs while she was sleeping. It was in the afternoon when Emily finally woke up.

Emily: Well now I wonder where Thomas went.

Just then Duke pulled up.

Duke: hey Emily glad to see you back.

Emily: thank's Duke, so how have the other narrow gauge engines been.

Duke: they have been good, and Duncan is in love with Madge.

Emily: he is?

Duke: yes.

he said and left, Thomas was heading back to the shed when he saw Daisy who was sleeping.

Thomas: Hey Daisy, how has things been.

Daisy woke up in surprise.

Daisy: Who said that? OH. Hey Thomas. I am glad to see you back. How has Emily been?

Thomas: She has been good But last night she had a extra spicy hot fireball burrito and her drink was hot sauce.

Daisy:I do not know how anyone could eat that. Well I hope you find out what is wrong with her soon. Oh and Thomas Percy and I have been getting along really well.

Thomas: That is great Daisy.

And Thomas set of to see Emily. Soon he got to the sheds. Emily was happy to see him.

Emily: Hey Thomas, where have you been?

Thomas: I was out doing your work.

Emily: What did Fatty say, was he mad.

Thomas: Oh not at all. After I told him about what you ate he was very calm and understood what I was telling him.

Emily: Oh that's good, Thomas why don't you stay here I am going out for a bit.

Thomas: OK Emily see you later then.

he said, and she puffed off, soon she was at the Docks talking to Molly.

Emily: Hi Molly.

Emily said, Molly was happy to see her again.

Molly: Emily how was your honeymoon, oh you must tell me all about it.

she said happily.

Emily: Sorry Molly. But I don't think the narrator would allow that, So how has James been?

She asked.

Molly: Well he has been good, but he is still boastful and the other day he saved me from some runaway trucks.

Just then Toby came by runing away from Mavis.

Toby: Run away!!!!

Mavis: Come back my Toby-muffin!

At that moment Diesel pulled up holding a flamethrower.

Diesel: Emily have you seen Toby.

Emily: yes i did he just ran past us with Mavis after him.

Diesel: thanks, and i am glad you and Thomas are back on the island.

And Diesel chased off after Toby.

Emily: That was odd, Okay Molly I will see you later and i hope that Diesel does not use that flamethrower.

Molly: See ya.

Emily steamed off. It was around 12:00 when she got back to the sheds.

Emily: I wonder how I am going to tell Thomas that I am pregnant.

The next day Emily got up to do her Jobs, but when she got to Great Waterton the Fat Controller was waiting for her.

Fatty: Emily how was your night out.

Emily: Oh it was fun, there is something I have to tell you sir.

So Fatty listened while he was thinking about McDonalds.

Emily: Well sir, I am pregnant.

Fatty fell over in surprise and since he was fat it took him some time to get up (just think fatty saying, Help! I've fallen and i can't get up).

Fatty: does Thomas know.

Emily: Oh no sir I am trying to find a way to tell him.

Fatty: well you better tell him soon because this story is starting to get long.

He said, and Emily set off to work, Meanwhile Thomas was pulling Annie and Clarabel they where full of children going to the beach.

Annie and Clarabel: Whats wrong Thomas you should be happy to be back.

Thomas: well Emily has been acting strange.

Annie and Clarabel: How strange?

they asked.

Thomas: well she has been eating strange food.

Annie and Clarabel thought, then knew what was going on with Emily.

Annie and Clarabel: Great Balls of Fire, Emily's pregnant!

they said to them self's, once they found out they were dying to tell Tomas, but he was not listening.

Thomas: alright tonight at the sheds I will ask about what's wrong with her.

He said to him self, meanwhile Emily was running down the line when she went through a junction which had faulty points which led her straight to a pile of quicksand that was left over from that movie "Adventures in the Desert Railway".

Emily: Well at least it can't get any worse.

Just then a GIANT SNAKE came out of nowhere.

Emily: HOLY CRAP! Wait a minute, why is there a giant snake on sodor?

Snake: Uh well you see uh. Dave, they're on to us!

Just then a giant Owl (dave) came out of nowhere and picked up the snake.

Dave: Let's get outta here! *Flies off.

Emily: Well that was wierd. Now where were we? Oh yeah I remember. I'm stuck in a giant pile of quick sand. And I'm sinking! Help! Help!

Just then Jim, Sodor's most retarded yard manager, came up.

Emily: Jim, can you go and get help? It feels like I'm sinking in buterscotch pudding.

Jim: mmmmmmm... pudding.

Emily: NOW!

Jim: Okay okay okay! Keep your pants on.

Emily: I'm a train you MORON! I don't wear pants!

So Jim ran down the line as fast as he could to get help. He returned 3 seconds later realising he has no idea where the crap help was at. So he went to the nearest Dairy Queen and had himself some Ice Cream. Then he had to go to the bathroom and got his head stuck in the toilet. By that time he had forgotten what he was suppose to do and by that time Emily was up to her head in quicksand. Soon Jim remembered after Emily whacked him in the head a few hundred times. He decided to go to Great Waterton.

Emily: What an IDIOT!

Thomas was at Great Waterton collecting passengers with Annie and Clarabel when Jm came in.

Jim: Thomas! Man I am glad I found you, Emily is in trouble she crashed into a giant pile of quicksand! And she's sinking fast!

Thomas: HOLY CRAP ON A STICK! I must save her.

Thomas was uncoupled from Annie and Clarabel, and set off to the rescue.

Jim: oh and Thomas just so you know...

But Thomas had already set off to save Emily, when he got there Emily could not speak because her mouth was in the quicksand.

Thomas: I will have you out soon.

Thomas buffered up to Emily and pulled. But she didn't move. The quicksand was making her heavier.

Thomas: Now what will I do?

Just then, Lady the magical engine appeared in a shower of gold dust.

Lady: Thomas use the gift I gave to you it. has some of my magic.

Thomas: How does it work?

Lady: Just tell the rock to make you strong enough to pull Emily out.

Thomas: Okay. Oh magic rock thingy, I want to be strong enough to pull Emily out of the quick sand.

Soon Thomas got all strong from the rock and pulled Emily out. Emily was thankfull she could breath again.

Emily: Thomas, I have to tell you something. I'm Pregnant!

Thomas: *Jaw drops to ground. What?

Emily: I'm gonna have a baby! You're gonna be a dad!

Thomas was so excited that he wheeshed mud on Lady.

Lady: THOMAS!!!

Thomas: Uh, wasn't me. Emily I was worried that something bad was happening to you. Why didn't you tell me?

Emily: I wanted it to be a surprise.

Thomas: Well it was a great surprise honey.

Then Rosie pulled up along side.

Rosie: Well well well. What have we here?

Emily: Go away Rosie.

Lady decided to go back to Muffel Mountain. But not before spaying Rosie with the mud that had sprayed her.

Rosie: Not again!!

Thomas: Can you please leave us alone Rosie.?

Rosie: Thomas just so you know, Fatty is having one of your relatives come soon. Says his name is Mike.

And Rosie went to the wash down.

Thomas: *Standing in trance with Rosie saying the word Mike. NOOOOOOO! Not him! Anything but him!

Emily: Thomas what's wrong?

Thomas: WHY!!!!!!!!!!!

But I must not tell you anymore or I shall spoil the next story.

Thomas and the Obnoxious Engine
Thomas had been in the sheds for 2 hours after he heard the news from last episode and got a note. The other engines were beginning to worry about him.

Percy: What's wrong Thomas?

Emily: And whose that letter from? *takes it.

Emily was surprised to see that on the letter was a picture of another engine. It looked Just like Thomas.

James: Who is that guy?

Thomas: Uh, what guy?

Molly: The engine on the picture.

Thomas: *Takes letter and eats it. Uh, no one?

The other engines stared at him.

Thomas: Oh alright! I give up! *Spits note back out*. His name is Mike. He's my Cousin.

Other Engines: Your Cousin!?

Thomas: Yes. And I hate him!

Emily: Why would you hate your own cousin?

Thomas: You don't know Mike like I do Emily. He's not the kind of engine you'd want to hang around with.

Gordon: I bet he can't be that bad.

Thomas: He is that bad. He's selfish and rude, even when we were kids.

Emily: That's awful. At least he can't take me away from you.

Thomas: I guess you are right.

Just then, Fatty waddled over.

Fatty: Good news everyone, I heard that there's gonna be a new Mc Donalds across the street! And I'm gonna be the first one there!

Nobody cared. So Fatty went to something else.

Fatty: Also, Mike ain't just visiting, he is staying here with us! He will arrive first thing in the morning.

Thomas was not happy.

Thomas: AW CRAP!

Emily: Oh cheer up honey. Just thing instead about our baby coming soon.

Thomas could see Emily's boiler had begun to swell. (That's how engine's conceive.)

Thomas: You're right Emily. Maybe a good night sleep will help me feel better.

But that night, he started to have bad dreams about Mike. In the dream, all the engines were in the sheds when suddenly, an axe started chopping on his door which woke up all the engines.

Mike: Heeeeeeeeeerrrreee's MIKEY!

Thomas:(dreaming) please Mike don't hurt us.

Mike: Time to play hospital! *Laughs like a maniac.

Thomas woke with a fright.

Thomas: What a horrible nightmare!

The next morning Thomas had to get up very early.

Thomas:(yawning) Time to head to the docks.

He had to collect some crates of machinery and take them to the farms. But when Thomas got there, he saw an unpleasant sight.

Thomas: Oh no. It's Mike!

Mike looked exactly like Thomas. But he had his name where Thomas had his number along withj singed Blue paint. Thomas hid behind a line of cars. He hoped Mike hadn't seen him, he did not see Thomas until Jim the yard manager arrived.

Jim: Duuuuuuuuuh, what should I do today?

So he decided to set the cars on fire for no reason. They burnt to a crisp and Thomas was seen.

Mike: Thomas, is that you?

Thomas: Drat! *Sighs. Hello Mike.

Just then, Emily arrived. She was delivering some stones and her boiler was getting bigger.

Emily: Thomas, is that your Cousin? He looks just like you.

Thomas: Yes.

Emily: Can I meet him?

Thomas: Sure.

So they puffed up to him.

Thomas: Mike this is my wife Emily.

Mike: Hi Emily. You're even fatter than I thought you'd be.

Emily: ARE YOU SAYING I'M FAT!?

Mike: Yes. Yes I am.

Emily: I'M NOT FAT! I'm pregnant, you Bastard!.

Mike: Pregnant!? Thomas, why didn't you tell me she's pregnant?

Thomas: Because I hate you.

Mike: Anyway, do you want to hear the time that Thomas ran from a black bear Emily?

Thomas: Please Mike, not that story again.

Mike: I will tell it anyway. So me and Thomas were puffing through the woods when he hit a black bear and boy did he run. the bear had chased him into a tree, I laugh so had I thought my dome would crack.

Thomas: I only hit that bear because you pushed me into him.

Mike: I was really drunk and almost forgot about it.

Then Fatty came up.

Fatty: Thomas, I need Mike to take Annie and Clarabel to have a fresh coat of paint. Go show him where they are.

Thomas: But sir..

Fatty: Really Useful Engine don't argue. Now Go.

Thomas was cross. He didn't want Mike to go anywhere near Annie and Clarabel.

Thomas: Alright. Come on Mike, lets go.

Mike: Right behind you.

Soon they found Annie and Clarabel.

Thomas: Hey girls. This is my Cousin Mike. Fatty says he is to take you to have a fresh coat of paint.

Annie: Hello Mike.

Clarabel: You look like a nice engine.

Mike: well then lets go, you two dont look verry speacial to me.

Annie and Clarabel: That's not nice.

Thomas: Take care of them will you, I know how you are with coaches.

Annie: how is he with coaches.

Mike: Don't worry Thomas. I'll be careful. Plus the only Time I mess up Is when I am drunk so you two don't have to worry.

And with that, Mike puffed away. Soon, they arrived at the works. Annie and Clarabel were repainted, and they were on their way home. It was dark when he got them back to the shed.

Mike: Good night you two. Now to find a place to sleep.

Annie: You could stay with us tonight if you like. Even if you were rude to us, we must treat you like we treat Thomas.

Mike:(yawning) You sure?

Clarabel: Yes we are sure.

Mike: thanks and I am sorry that I was rude ever since a friend of mine was scrapped I have never been the same.

Annie and Clarabel: that is horrible.

they said, the next day he went to work.

Molly: hello you must be Mike.

Mike: yes who are you.

Molly: my name is Molly, do you want to help me with some work.

Mike: sure It will be better than waiting for Thomas.

he said, soon they were working hard just then Gordon rushed up with the Express.

Gordon: you Mike.

Mike: yes I am you look like a galloping sausage I only say that because long ago I was bullied by an engine of your type.

Gordon: Why I outa..... you little!

Mike: bye looser.

he said, this made Gordon very cross.

Gordon: now I understand why Thomas hates him.

he said, latter Mike was making fun of James.

Mike: well James do you like your paint now or when you were painted as a bee.

James: shut up It is not funny, how do you know about that.

said James, Mike thought then he had an idea.

Mike: Thomas told me.

just then Thomas came in.

James: did you tell Mike of the time I was painted as a bee.

Thomas: no I was helping my wife Emily.

James: are you sure?

Thomas: yes I am sure.

He said, and Mike left.

Thomas: now you understand why I hate him.

later that night Mike was staying at Tidmouth sheds, the next day He had to get up early to work.

Mike: what should I do today.

Just then, Fatty waddled over.

Fatty: Mike you are to help Flora the steam tram.

Mike: yes sir.

And he left to find her. Flora was the only girl on Sodor without a boyfriend (besides Lady). And she was beginning to feel lonely as she rolled along the line. Soon Mike arrived at the Docks.

Mike: I wonder where she is.

Just then, Salty pulled up.

Salty: Ahoy Matey, who are ye looking for?

Mike: I am looking for some engine named Flora.

Salty: Oh, ye can find her in one of the warehouses talking to herself. This reminds me of a story...

But Mike got bored after he said that and left. He looked in the first warehouse, then the second, he came to the next warehouse but it was so dark he could not see a thing.

Mike: I say if anyone is in there please come out and show your self.

he said there was no reply.

Mike: alright have it your way then I am coming in.

he said so he lit his lamp and puffed forward soon his light hit Flora.

Mike: are you Flora the steam tram.

Flora:(sadly) yes I am who are you.

she was still upset at the fact that she did not have a boyfriend.

Mike: I am Mike, Thomas' Cousin.

Flora: you do look like him but you have a scar and no number, could you get me to the water tower.

Mike: alright lets go.

he said soon Flora was at the water tower.

Flora: thanks for helping me Mike, now I cant do shunting by my self.

Mike: Don't worry cute Flora ive been told to help you.

Flora: no one has called me cute before, you are the first one to do so.

Mike: thanks now lets get to work.

he said, Meanwhile Thomas was working with Emily on his branch line. Emily's boiler was now the size of a beachball.

Emily: I wonder how Mike is doing.

Thomas:(angry) Who cares about that selfish jerk?

Emily:(angry) Thomas, how can you say that? He's your cousin!

Thomas: I HATE HIM! I remember a time when I came to visit him, he was playing with a knife I told him to give me the knife but instead he tried to hit me with it but missed and cut himself in the face thats how he got the scar after he cut him self he hit into the fire place and got set on fire soon the house was on fire everyone got out but Mike, I thought he died in the fire and that is why I hate him.

Emily: Thomas I did not know, at least that Explains the scorch Marks on him.

Thomas: its alright.

he said, later Mike got done helping Flora and wanted to do something fun.

Mike: what is this place.

he said as he entered the steam works.

Mike: this place is huge.

Victor: thanks.

Mike:(scared) who said that.

Victor: I did, are you Thomas' Cousin.

Mike: yes I am, I cant believe that I am seeing a narrow gauge engine.

he said, then Diesel 10 came in.

Diesel 10: guess who is back, now I am looking for Thomas.

Victor: Diesel 10 what are you doing here.

Mike: Diesel 10 why don't you take that arm and shove it.

He said, and left Diesel 10 was now very cross.

Diesel 10:(very Cross) that engine is dead.

He said and left, just then Thomas came in.

Victor: Thomas your Cousin is marked for death.

Thomas: how?

Victor: he just told Diesel 10 to shove that arm of his.

Thomas: oh dear what will we tell Flora.

he said, later Mike was working when Diesel 10 came up.

Diesel 10: you do know that I will get you.

just then Thomas and Flora came up.

Thomas: Mike is not the one in trouble you are.

said Thomas as pulled out the stone seen in the last episode.

Thomas: Time to call the engine you hate, magic stone we need Lady here.

Diesel 10: anything but her!

he said, then the stone flew into the air and in a shower of gold dust Lady appeared.

Lady: Diesel 10 I have foreseen you return, now with this dust you will lose that arm of yours.

she said, then she blew some gold dust from her funnel and it fell on Diesel 10 his arm then shattered into pieces.

Diesel 10: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!, I am out of here and I will never return.

he said and in a cloud of smog he was gone.

Mike: thanks Thomas.

Thomas: you welcome, you know having you here may not be so bad.

Mike: I am sorry about trying to hit you with that knife long ago, so Thomas want to race.

Thomas: sure.

Lady: I have to go now see you all later.

she said and left in a shower of gold dust, then some trucks of coal were heading for Flora.

Flora: help me.

Mike: Thomas the race is on hold.

Flora shut her eyes when she herd the crash she opened them to see that Mike got into the path of the trucks.

Mike: I got in the way because you remind me of a childhood Friend I use to play with years ago.

Flora: I do?

Mike: yes, but Mink died over the summer.

Flora: how did Mink die?

Mike:(sadly) Mink was scrapped all because of me, I had done something bad and the punishment was to be Ripped apart she was blamed and was scrapped that is why I am sometimes selfish and rude.

Flora: how about I get you to the steam works.

she said soon they got to the steam works.

Mike: thanks.

Flora:(blushes) your welcome.

She said, later she was thinking about Mike.

Flora: he is probably the one for me! he did say I am cute should I try to go for him.

She wondered, meanwhile Mike was talking to Mavis.

Mike: could you give me info on Flora?

Mavis: she is a kind and sensitive engine, and she is the only one with out a boyfriend she can not figure out why.

Mike: thanks for telling me.

Mavis: Your welcome.

she said as Toby entered the quarry, when Mavis saw him Toby got scared.

Mavis: oh Toby want to make out.

Toby: dear god why!.

He said and Mike left, later Toby came up to Mike with kissing marks all over his face.

Toby: so you Mike.

Mike: yes Looks like Mavis got you good.

he said, later Flora was crying.

Flora:(sobbing) WAAAAA! that is it I will never have a boyfriend, no one likes me might as well scrap my self.

she said and left, but she did not know that Hank was listing to what she said.

Hank: I must find help.

he said soon he found Mike and tolled him everything she said.

Mike: quick can you get me to the scrap yard.

he said and they rushed off it was not long before they reached the Scrap yard.

Mike: we are here.

Then he saw Flora heading for some big doors.

Mike:(shouting) FLORA!!!.

he shouted she herd him and stopped.

Flora: Mike how did you get here.

Mike: Hank showed me, now why are you trying to scrap your self.

Flora:(sadly) no one likes me, and I cant seem to find a boyfriend.

Mike: well you can stop looking because I am the one for you.

Flora:(surprised) you would do that for me.

she said, she was so happy that she rang her bell in joy.

Flora:(happily) oh thank you, you don't know how much this means to me I have been feeling so lonely.

she said and gave him a very big and long kiss, then Thomas came up he was pulling some meatel to be scraped.

Mike: Thomas why did you not tell me that Flora was beautiful.

Thomas:I guess it is because I was so mad at you I forgot.

Mike: Annie and Clarabel told me about the time you left there conductor behind, wish I could of been there.

he said later Flora and Mike were heading home together and from then on Flora would never be alone. but wait there is still more to come so see you later.

Emily and the Silly Sterling Single Sisters
Emily was the most beautiful engine on the Island of Sodor. She was an Emerald Green color. And she had very big wheels. She and Thomas had gotten married sometime ago and now Emily was going to have a baby. Her boiler had swollen so big that she was having trouble doing her work. One day, Emily and Thomas were at the Sodor Steamworks.

Victor: Ah Thomas. How are you and Emily doing?

Thomas: Hello Victor.

Emily: We're here for our check-up to see how the baby is doing.

Victor: Alright Emily. Just slide back into the check-up tube.

The Check-up tube was a big tube in the Steamworks. Engines would go in and it would do x-rays of the engines inside their boilers.

Emily: (Laughs). It tickles.

Victor: Alright, scanning is done.

Clunk!

Victor: Steaming Sodor Kevin, what are you doing back there?

Kevin: Sorry Boss. It was a slip of the hook.

Victor: *Sighs*. I know Kevin. Blame everything on the hook. Okay Emily, let see the x-rays.

Soon, Victor came back with good news.

Victor: Well, your baby is looking fine. Just take it easy on work.

Just then, Fatty came in.

Fatty: Emily, I hear that you need to take it easy with your jobs.

Victor: That's right sir. Now make sure that Emily is not to pull any heavy trains for 5 months (it takes 5 months for engines to concieve children).

Fatty: Very well then. Emily, since you will be under foot for a while, I'm going to have some more engines come help out with the work.

On the way back to the sheds, Emily and Thomas were thinking of names for their baby.

Emily: What should we call it if it's a boy?

Thomas: It's kinda early to be thinking about that.

Emily: Your right. Oop. The baby just kicked.

On the way home, they passed Gordon. He was talking to Danni, one of the new engines. Danni was a pretty young engine. She had big wheels like Emily and had the number 26 on her tender. The difference between Emily and Danni was that Danni was painted Dark Blue and had a helmet on her head. Danni was very fond of Gordon. Gordon was telling her about the time Diesel got Duck in trouble.

Gordon: Diesel went to the freight cars and told them lies about Me, James, and Henry. You will never believe what the cars did to get back at Duck for bumping them.

Danni: What did they do?

Gordon: They chased him and made him crash into a barber shop.

Danni: Oh dear.

Gordon: Yeah. Luckily Diesel was found out and sent away. And Duck was able to come home.

Thomas: Hey Gordon.

Gordon: Oh hey Thomas. How was the check-up?

Emily: It was fine. The baby is doing great. But I gotta take it easy with work.

The next day, Thomas, Percy, Bill, Ben, James and Emily were resting at the sheds when they heard a couple of whistles. They were surprised to see 2 engines that looked like Emily chuff towards them. The younger one was painted light navy blue and wore make-up. The older was a purple/pink color. Emily was very happy to see them.

Emily: Guys, these are my sisters. The young blue one is Olivia, and the older purple/pink one is Hanna. Sisters, these are Bill, Ben, Percy and James. And this is my husband Thomas.

Olivia: Hello. It's nice to meet you.

Hanna: Hey Em, how long you been married?

Hanna had a stern voice.

Emily: For a few episodes. I'm gonna have a baby.

Hanna/Olivia: *EXCITED SQUEELS!* WE'RE GONNA BE AUNTS!

Just then Jim the Yard Manager arrived.

Jim: Duuuuuuu! Hi every peoples! Mr. Blobby has put me in charge for this episode. YAY!

Emily: Ah man!

Thomas: well at least Fatty won't bug us for now.

Jim: Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. Now time to give you peoples your jobs for the episode. *Starts picking his nose.* Pickin da nose! Pickin da nose! James, you and Molly gets to go make out and stuff.

James: YES!

Jim: Percy, you must help Daisy take workmen to the new Chocolate Factory.

Percy: Yes Sir!

Jim: Thomas, you must pick my nose!

Thomas: Why??!!!!!!

Jim: Cause I gets lonely when I do it myself.

Hanna: Hope your never to busy to hang out with us your sisters.

Emily: I am never to busy for you two.

Olivia: Yay! The three of us are back together!

All 3: See you Thomas.

and they left, soon they were puffing along the country side.

Hanna: We asked Fatty if we could stay on the Island, so he agreed.

Olivia: Yeah that was after we were brought to help you with your work, we have to stay with you we were bored when you left for here.

Hanna: and also we were kicked out of the house.

Emily: let me guess you did something to piss mom off.

Olivia: she was really pissed with us.

she said, later they saw Rosie.

Emily: Hey Rosie how have you and Oliver been.

Rosie: We are doing fine, so who are the two engines beside you.

Emily: they are my sisters, Olivia and Hanna.

Olivia: hey Rosie.

Rosie: want to be friends.

Olivia: sure.

Rosie: well lets go.

she said, then Olivia had a better Idea.

Olivia: can she puff with us.

Emily: I guess I am just going to show you Black Lock.

Hanna: Well what are we waiting for lets go.

Soon Emily saw a note.

Note: Anyone who reads this note must come and help me, I dont freaken care who comes, I am stuck at the scrap yards and I am starting to rust and be quick the Diesel's are after me, singed Mays.

Emily: Hey guys I found a note, from someone named Mays.

Rosie: I know who this Mays guy is, I have read that over 50 years ago an engine went to the scrap yards and did not come back, no one went to look for him.

Hanna: I guess that is his note for help, it does look old.

Emily: Well lets try to find him.

She said, and they set off, soon they were at the scrap yards it was soon dark and they did not find any thing.

Emily: lets look in the sidings.

Olivia and Rosie were shaking in fear.

Rosie: I dont like it here.

Olivia: nor do i.

Hanna just rolled her eyes.

Hanna: Stop being wimps.

So they left, Emily looked in the shunting yards, Olivia and Rosie sherced the area out side of the smelting room, when Hanna came up to a siding she heard a sound witch scared her to where she raced off to her sister.

Hanna: I herd the noise down this siding.

They looked around the siding, when they heard a voice.

Mays: Scrap dealers! please don't scrap me.

Hanna decided to have a little fun.

Hanna: Your going to be scraped, and no amount of begging will change it.

Mays:(Shakeing) WHY?!!!!!!!!

Emily: Hanna stop fooling around.

Olivia: Are you Mays

Mays: Yes, my name is Mays, are you here to help me?

He asked, they saw he was completely rusted and felt sorry for him.

Hanna: Yes.

Mays: (nervously) I never expected girls would come to my rescue.

Hanna: my name is Hanna.

Rosie: my name is Rosie.

Olivia: My name is Olivia.

Emily: And my name is Emily.

Mays: I can tell that your pregnant, I am telling you girls that i will allways be greatfull to you for saveing me.

She said, soon they were at the sheds Thomas was the only one there.

Thomas: Hello girls, who is that engine behind you.

Mays: My name is mays I had worked with Hiro over 50 years ago, now this turntable here well before my shed use to stand there.

Just then Hiro pulled up.

Hiro: Mays? Is it realy you?

Mays: Yes it is my good friend.

Thomas was surprised, then Jim came up.

Jim:Duuuuuuu! who's this Engine.

Mays: my name is Mays, now could you tell me where Fatty is.

Jim: Mr. Blobby left me in charge.

Mays:(confused) why would he leave a Dumb engine in charge.

Olivia: when did you come here.

Mays: 50 years ago when they were making me the workmen where doing a great job, but all in all I am a steam engine, with a 4-4-4 wheel arrangement.

the next day Mays got up for work, after his gears were up and running.

Mays: What should I do today.

Then Jim came up.

Jim: uhhhhhhh. Mays you must help Flora and Mike. Their at the Docks.

Mays: ok.

so he set off to find them. Soon he did.

Mays: Hello are you Flora

Flora: yes I am, who are you?.

Mays: My name is Mays.

Flora: My Mike should be coming soon.

Mays: I wish someone would fall in love with me.

Then Mays saw Lady puff by.

Mays: I would like to go after her.

Flora: keep dreaming.

Mays: don't start judgeing me yet 50 years ago I was and am a fine charmer with the Ladys.

Flroa: well then.

Just then Thomas stoped next to him witth Annie and Clarabel and Mays eyes went wide.

Mays: Anna? Clara? is it realy you.

Annie and Clarabel looked as if they had heard a ghost, tears started to form in there eyes.

Annie: Oh my god!, *Snifs* Mays?

Clarabel:*Sadly* I thought we'd never see you again!.

After hearing this Thomas was surprised.

Thoams: What are you talking about Annie and Clarabel?

Annie: Well you see Thomas over 50 years ago Mays used to be are engine.

Clarabel: All three of us had verry special paint.

Mays: What happen to the special paint you had on?.

Annie: We were cleaned of the paint just before we were given to Thomas.

Mays: Can you tell me what you two have been up to?

Clarabel: Later we will.

She said, later Mays saw Lady at the water tower.

Mays: My name is Mays.

Lady: Hello Mays. Do you want to help me with some work?.

Mays: Sure and you do look beautiful, your so beautiful i can't take my eyes off of you.

This made Lady giggle and blush red.

Lady:*giggles* Thanks.

Mays: Your welcome lets go.

He said, soon they were biffing trucks.

Lady: This is fun.

Mays: I know.

Just then Jim came up.

Jim: Mays you are to take Annie and Clarabel to have new windows put in.

Mays: Ok Jim jam. HOOOOOOOO. (laughs).

He said. And left soon he found Annie and Clarabel.

Mays: Jim has toled me to take you to get some new windows.

Annie: Oh verry well then lets go, we want to see if you still have the charm and power you did 50 years ago.

So they set off, they told him about when they lost their guard, when they had a great race with Bertie, when they became runnaways, and when they got stuck in snow.

Clarabel: It hurts us to see you in the state your in.

Annie: *Sadly* it does indeed.

They started to cry.

Mays: No need to worry about me you two. i am just fine.

A few weeks later one night Mays was telling Emily and the others a ghost story.

Mays: This story is called "The Tale of Fowler's Ghost". We start are story in London in 1861 on the Metropolitan Railway. It's about a beautiful young engine almost as Beautiful as Emily here, her name was ghost. Her name wasn't really ghost. She was only called Ghost cause she was as mysterious as a ghost. Now Ghost an unusual- and disastrously unsuccessful- locomotive was built to run on the Metropolitan Railway in London. This line was and is just below street level, much of it being built by "cut and cover", but some of it is in open air. There was concern about steam and smoke emissions from the locomotives.

Percy: Why?!!!!

James: Must you realy say why Percy?

Mays: Because there was no way the smoke and steam could get out. So Sir John Fowler, the Metropolitan's Engineer, ordered an experimental locomotive designed to not produce smoke while in the tunnel sections. So Ghost was built and arrived in 1861. She was tried on a few test runs to Hanwell Station, and failed miserably. Fowler was so furious that his engine had failed him that he had her to be sheeted up and hid. Poor Ghost was banished to a disused tunnel underground. Before he banished her, he had some of her parts striped off, manely boiler fittings. Down in her tunnel she was very angry. It was not her fault she failed, but that of her designer. She remained a mystery for many years and in 1869 the roof above her caved in. She shut her eys as she was crushed underneath a ton of rubble. But one night in 1871 about Ten years after she was banished. A runaway engine was spotted in the tunnels heading to Edgeware Road. The workmen went to pull up the rails to stop it, but it never came. This happen night after night until the workmen started to talk to reporters about the Encounters, they told them they thought that the specter was one of Sir John Fowlers ideas, try as he might he could not keep it secret for long and after being pessterd by the press, he soon released photos of her to the public. Even after his death they say her spirit still haunts the underground tunnels wanting to leave the underground tunnels, and they say if you work down in the tunnels you can hear her scream as the roof caves in on her, and they say that if you go near the engines entrance you will see dust fly allover the place then through the dust you see her spirit. And as she starts to puff up to you with fire coming from her stack when you think your done for she disappears.

Henry: What a story.

Mays: But there's more. Before Ghost was banished, she had fallen in love with a visiting engine. He had promised to come back and find her so they could get married at his home land. But he never showed up, she did not know that he was blown up a few days after they met, she was Upset when he did not show up, and This many say is the reason she did not run well.

Hanna/Olivia: We're scared.

Mays: alright now lets all get some sleep.

He said, so they did. the next morning Mays left to find Lady.

Mays: There you are Lady.

Lady: oh hey Mays.

then Jim came up.

Jim: you are to go to the scrap yards today.

Mays: Why!!!!!!

Jim: uhhhhhhhhh!. Because I said so.

Mays: ok I will go.

Lady: see you later.

She said and he left soon he was at the scrap yards.

Mays: I thought I would never see this place again.

He said and set to work.

Mays: I cant beleave that i have to work here. This place is were my Brother was scraped.

He said to a rusted engine next to him. Soon he ran out of Coal in a disused siding.

Mays: WHYYYYYY!!!!!

He said. Lady soon began to worry about him.

Lady: maybe Proteus knows what happen to him.

She said as it has been two days since he was last seen, Gordon and the others started worry so she called him.

Proteus: He has ran out of Coal at the scrap yard, he is in a siding surrounded by rusting Cars. And he is giving up all hope of being found.

Lady: oh no I must find him.

she said and left, when she got there she started to search High and low for him but no luck.

Lady: Were is he.

She soon found him.

Lady:(crying) Mays I am glad I found you.

Mays: You don't need to cry.

Lady: lets just get you back to the sheds.

She said and they set off, the others were happy to see Mays.

Hanna: We are so glad to see you.

Emily: Oop. The baby just kicked again Thomas.

Thomas: So what are you going to do now.

Lady: I am going to show him my home.

she said and they left in gold dust.

Hanna: Hey Thomas what is that on your boiler.

Thomas: What were.

He said and ran forward, Hanna just sat there laughing.

Thomas: ha, ha very funny.

Emily:(sheepishly) sorry Thomas I forgot to tell you that my sister Hanna loves to play tricks.

Thomas: That is alright.

Soon Fatty called.

Thomas: you have returned.

Fatty: yes I am at Grovans Gate. I hear that Mays was found.

Hanna was up to her tricks.

Henry: I cant beleave that Jim put Flour in these old trucks.

Then she came up to him and blew her whistle, Henry shot forward and bashed the Trucks in to the buffers Flour flew all over Henry.

Hanna:(laughing) It is Henry the ghost.

Henry: Thats not funny.

Hanna: It is to me.

she said and left.

Henry: Fatty is not going to like this.

Emily: What happen to you Henry.

Hanna:(angry) your sister Hanna thats what happen, this flour was for Cakes.

He said, and Emily left to find Hanna.

Emily: Hanna there you are.

Hanna: hey Em.

Emily: Henry was not happy with you, the flour he had was to be made into Cakes.

Hanna: Is that bad here on the island.

Emily: yes you can get into big trouble with Fatty.

Hanna:(stuck up) so what?

Emily: SO what, you can get sent away from the island for this.

Hanna:(shocked) better get the flour delivered.

she said and rushed off, meanwhile Rosie and Olivia were having fun.

Olivia: I love running down the line.

Then in shower of gold dust stood Mays.

Rosie: what the...*Jaw drops* Mays you.... you...

Mays: look as good as new, Burnett Stone fixed me up in his workshop.

Olivia: Well lets take you to see the others.

she said, soon they were at the sheds to see Emily and Thomas there.

Mays: Hey Emily, what do you think of me now.

Emily: This what you look like.

Mays: Yep every single piece of metal, my gears, and valves are painted in Gold paint.

Thomas: I've never seen an engine in this paint before.

Mays: Well over 50 years ago your coaches had the same paint as what you are seeing now.

Thomas: Are you jokeing?

Mays: No i am not. Thomas is it alright if i can visit Aniie and Clarabel?

Thomas: Sure.

Then Danni came up.

Danni: Hey can I come and join you guys.

Mays: I don't know.

Danni: oh please! I promise to be good.

Emily: of course you can.

Danni: yay!, I needed something to do while Gordon is away.

Emily: so do you have any feelings for Gordon.

Danni: he does make me blush when he is next to me, so I would have to say.... yes.

Mays: I must go now.

Thomas: yep see you Mays.

Danni: so Thomas tell me a bit about your self.

Jim: Hello every peoples. Thomas you are to shunt trucks on the old branch line near the forest tonight.

Thomas: but that line is haunted.

Thomas' Driver: Thomas some how Mike fell into Bulstrode.

Thomas:(yawning) I am tired let some one else get him.

Thomas' Driver: your the only one free, all the others are busy.

he said, and Thomas left the shed. Meanwhile Mays was on the Magic Railroad looking for Lady.

Emily: hey Thomas i am going to head back to the sheds to watch the Baby.

Narrator: so later that Night Mays got the Steam team together for a Ghost story.

Mays: I will tell you about the Tay Bridge Disaster.

Narrator: The first Tay Bridge was designed by the Civil Engineer Thomas Bouch. It took six years to build. During the construction of the first Tay bridge ten million bricks were used. Other construction materials for the first Tay Bridge included two million rivets, eighty-seven thousand cubic feet of timber and fifteen thousand casks of cement. At the time it was such a major construction and undertaking to build the Tay Bridge that people would travel from afar to see it. This included General Ulysses Grant, the 18th President of the United States of America, in 1877. On September 26 1877 the bridge was offically open. 2 Years later in December of 1879 The disater took place during a storm that took place across central Scotland.

Donald: We baith ken waur thes story is gonnae, dornt we.

Douglas: We dae indeed.

The Edinburgh train had already started its journey across the Tay Bridge, too late for the signalman to stop it. When the train made its way across the middle of the Bridge the high girders collapsed and the train, crew and passengers fell into the icy cold River Tay. The official enquiry into the Tay Bridge disaster found many flaws in the iron superstructure of the Bridge and its maintenance. It found that there was no calculations into the effect of wind pressure on the bridge and its supports. They Estimated that 75 people Died in the colaspe, the Engine was never recoverd and on misty moon lit nights if you listen closely you can still here the passengers screem and The sound of the engines Final woosh of steam, and the engines last whistel before you hear it crash into the Tay River. The Second Tay Bridge was built upstream and parallel to the first Tay Bridge, to a double track bridge design. it open in July of 1887.

Percy: oh man.

Thomas: to beleve that an acedent like that can Happen is Scarry to think of.

Mays: Now lets get some sleep.

Narrator: the next day Gordon was just about to leave the sheds when Danni came to see him.

Danni: hey Gordon going to pull the express.

Gordon: yep.

Narrator: then Fatty arived.

Fatty: Gordon i am giving you the day off.

Gordon: who will pull the express sir.

Fatty: Mays will take the express for today.

(Gordons mouth drops)

Gordon: WHAT!!!, sir there is no way he will be able to pull the Express on record time.

Fatty: I have a good mind to let him try, sides I have seen him pull heavyer trains before.

Narrator: so Gordon was at Tidmouth Station watching Mays geting ready to take the Express.

Gordon: you wont be able to get the train up Gordon's hill.

Mays: I will show you.

Narrator: he said as he pulled away with the express he started to gain speed, Gordon was sort off impressed.

Gordon: he will not be able to get over that hill with out help.

Narrator: so Gordon was waiting at Gordon's Hill when Mays speed by him.

Mays: Losser.

Narrator: he said as he ziped over Gordon's hill like a rocket, Gordon was Cross.

Gordon: I am not a losser.

Narrator: latter mays was resting at the Cement works when Bill and Ben pulled up next to him.

Ben: what is that Bill.

Bill: Look Ben an engine made out of Gold.

Ben: Must be a statue cause it does not look like it can move.

Mays: a statue!, Let me....

Mavis: Bill, Ben, Stop this nonsence.

Mays: who are you 3?

Bill: Im Bill.

Flip takes the plunge
(based off of Percy takes the plunge) Tribute to the Rev. w. Ardway.

SOMETIMES Flip takes stone trucks to the other end of the line. There, she meets engines from the Other Railway.

One Day, Henry wanted to rest in the shed, but Flip was talking to some tank engines.

"Waters nothing to an engine with determination." She said to them.

"What are you engines doing here?" hissed Henry. "This shed is for the Fat controller's Engines. Go away."

"silly things," Henry snorted.

"There not silly." Flip had been enjoying herself. She was cross because henry sent them away.

"They are silly, and so are you. 'Water's nothing to an engine with determination.' Pah!"

"Anyway," said cheeky Flip, "Im not afraid of the water. I like it." She ran away singing. "Once an engine attached to a train

Was afraid of a few drops of rain..."

Flip arrived home feeling pleased with herself. "Silly old Henry," she chuckeld.

Thomas was looking at a board on the Quay. It said "DANGER".

"We mustn't go past it," he said. "That's Orders."

"Why?"

"DANGER' means falling down something," said Thomas. "I went past DANGER' once, and fell down a mine."

Flip looked beyond the board.

"I can't see a mine," she said.

She didn't know that the foundations of the Quay had sunk, and that the rails now sloped downward to the sea.

"Stupid board!" said Flip. For days and days she tryed to sidle past it; but her driveer stopped her every time.

"No you don't," he would say.

Then Flip made a plan. One day at the Top Station she whisperd to the trucks. "Will you give me a bump when we get to the Quay?"

The trucks were surprised. They have never been asked to bump an engine before. They giggeld and chatterd about it all the way down.

"Whoah Flip! Whoah!" said her driver, and Flip checked obediently at the "distant" signal.

"Driver doesn't know my plan," she chuckeld.

"On! On! On!" laughed the trucks. Flip thought they were helping. "I'll pretend to sto at the station; but the trucks will push me past the board. Then I'll make them stop. I can do that whenever i like."

If Flip haden't been so conceited, she would never have been so silly. Every wise engine knows that you cannot trust trucks. They reached the station, and Flip's breaks groaned. That was the signal for the trucks.

"Go on! Go on!" they yelled, and surged forward together.

They gave Flip a fearfull bump, and knocked her Driver and Fireman off the footplate.

"Ow!" said Flip, sliding past the board. The day was misty. The rails were slipery, Her wheels wouldn't grip.

Flip was frantic. "That's enough!" she hissed.

But it was to late. Once on the slope, she robogganed helplessy down, crashed through the buffers, and slitherd into the sea.

"You are a verry disobedient engine."

Flip knew that voice, tears started to roll down her cheaks.

"Please, Sir, get me out Sir, I'm truly sorry Sir."

"No, Flip, we cannot do that till high tide. I hope it will teach you to obey Order's."

"Yes, Sir," Flip shivered miserably. She was cold. Fish were playing hide and seek through her wheels. The tide rose higher and higher

Shw was feeling her position more and more deeply every minute.

It was nearly dark when they brought floating cranes, cleared away the trucks, and lifted Flip out.

She was to cold and stiff to move by herself, so she was sent to the Works next day on Henry's goods train.

"Well! Well! Well!" chuckeld Henry, "Did you like the water?"

"No."

"I am surprised. You need more determination, Flip. 'Waters nothing to an engine with determination' you know. Perhaps you will like it better next time."

But Flip is quite determind that there won't be a "next time".
