Author's notes: Ok. We have got or 1st Christopher story up. Now, I must say, after looking over his stories, I've noticed that they are nearly always very simple and don't really take much risks. I've also picked up that he gives characters certain characters like Oliver and Bear some unbalanced 'screen time', but I think that's the publishers fault rather then anything else. That doesn't mean he's a bad writer at all, in fact he handled his father's legacy quite well, but still there is room for improvement in all of us. Anyway, let's get to it.

Dear, Rachel, Mike, Mitch, James and Dustin

It's been years now and boy we still have many good adventures together. First Mike, Twilight and Thomas and even Rainbow Dash and Mitch stopped some thieves. Then James, Pinkie Pie and Percy managed to accidentally to help our friendly local postman at Ffarquhar by accident, then James, Pinkie Pie, Dustin, Fluttershy and Duck along with me Henry and Applejack got a bit of fishy surprise. And then me, Mike James, Rachel, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Percy, Duck and Thomas all tripled headed the wild nor wester, I'm sorry to say that our rev friend Wilbert Awdry has retired from writing his books but I'm glad to inform all of you that his son is now the torch bearer of the his father's books. Well anyway here are the stories of our really useful engines.

Your best friend forever

William James Holden.

Stop Thief!

Narrator: Thomas stood at Ffarquharr the top station of his branchline. He had run round Annie and Clarabel after the morning up journey. He was enjoying a short rest before the run back down the valley. Mr. Hawkins and Twilight sparkle stood by Thomas' cab talking to Mr Thomson, who was acting as guard, whom brought startling news.

Mr Thomson: Did you know that the stationmaster was burgled last night?!

Narrator: Mr. Hawkins and Twilight Sparkle shocked, shook they're heads.

Mr. Hawkins/ Twilight Sparkle: Goodness, you don't say!

Mr. Hawkins: Cripes, and I didn't even know he had anything worth stealing.

Mr Thomson: Well he's one cups for gardening! All stolen and then scoundrels had the cheek to pinch his car to carry them away in.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh my goodness that's horrible!

Mr. Hawkins: Not that new red 1964 Aston Martin DB5 he won at the auction that's he's so proud of?!

Narrator: Mr Thomson nodded and the moment the signal rose to show that the line was clear. Mr. Hawkins and Twilight Sparkle climbed into Thomas' cab, Mr Thomson blew the whistle and waved his green flag, got into Clarabel and Thomas set off. By the time they were through the tunnel, the train was running nicely road and railway were beside each other here with only a stream between them. Thomas remembered his race with Bertie the bus. He had only won because he could go through the hill while Bertie had to go over it. A flash of colour the road ahead caught his eye. He tried to go faster to look more closely.

Annie: Whoa Thomas. Slow down my friend.

Clarabel: Slow down Thomas! You don't want to bump the passengers and Mr Thomson.

Mr. Hawkins: Steady there Thomas. There's plenty of time.

Thomas: Can't we get closer to that car? It looks like stationmaster's red car to me.

Mr. Hawkins: Heheheh lots of cars look like that… (looks closely) but alright.

Narrator: And Mr. Hawkins opened the regulator and they began to draw level. There two men in the car then waved frantically when they saw Thomas and then tried to go faster when they saw Rainbow Dash, whom was in Clarabel but flew out, chasing them.

Twilight Sparkle: Your right Thomas. That's the stolen Aston Martin and those two must be the thiefs.

Narrator: Thomas, Mr Hawkins, Mr Thomson, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash shouted loudly at them.

Thomas/Twilight/Rainbow Dash/Mr Hawkins/Mr Thomson: (To thieves) STOP! HEY YOU STOP! HEY! PULL OVER!

Narrator: But of course the thieves didn't. Twilight began to charge up a magic spell.

Twilight Sparkle: (Charging magic) Stand back everyone! I'm gonna try using a spell to blow the tires out!

Mr. Hawkins: (Holds Twilight back) No Twilight. You might cause the car to turn over and damage its content. Besides we can't stop them here and they'll be long gone before we reach the next station.

Twilight Sparkle: Wait a minute! I got an idea. Mr. Hawkins, we need a pen, some paper and something to put a note in. We'll through a message out at the next signal box.

Mr. Hawkins: Good idea. Here, use my lunch tin. I've already finished my lunch.

Narrator: Quickly Twilight wrote and she put into the Mr. Hawkins empty lunch tin. Then drawing ahead of Rainbow Dash and the Aston Martin, Thomas whistled to attracted the signal man's attention they slowed so Twilight Sparkle could throw the box up to him and as they went passed they shouted at the top of the voices.

Mr. Hawkins/Twilight/Thomas/Mr Thomson: POLICE!

Narrator: By now, the stole Aston Martin DB5 had gone well ahead and Thomas, Twilight, Mr Thomson and Mr. Hawkins didn't see it again. But the signalman had telephone police headquarters at once and the thieves were stopped at road block ten miles further on. They tried to reverse but Rainbow Dash caught up and halted they're retreat.

Rainbow Dash: Officers! Arrest those thieves at once!

Narrator: And the constables quickly arrested thieves.

Constables: Right you two men are under arrest for burglary, Grand Larceny, and Motor vehicle larceny! You two are coming with us!

Narrator: The constables hand cuffed the thieves, placed into one of the patrol cars, and hauled away to prison. That afternoon, The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia traveled in Annie. When they got there they along with station master climbed onto a porters trolley and told the passengers the whole story. And the stationmaster thanked Rainbow Dash, Mr. Hawkins, Mr Thomson, Twilight Sparkle, and Thomas for their prompted action. The passengers cheered loudly and cheered even more when they found that the stationmasters gardening cups had all been found undamaged in a sack in the boot of the car. The fat controller and Princess Celestia held up they're hand and hoof for silence.

Fat Controller: A long time ago, Thomas should how valuable he is to the smooth running of my railway.

Celestia: and for many years my faithful student Twilight Sparkle proved how diligent she is to the land of Equestria and to island of Sodor and Rainbow Dash whom has proven time and time again how loyal she is to both Sodor and Equestria, I am sure you can all agree that these two have proven today that they are really useful ponies indeed.

Fat Controller: I think that we can also agree that Thomas has once again proven to be a really useful engine.

Well, that's part 1 up. Let's get to part 2.
