Author's notes: Ok, here's part 1 of "Thomas The Tank Engine". And yes, I have added myself into the story too.

Dear Rachel,

I hope you are enjoying your new job. Boy, 1923 has been a very good year. Our Reverend friend from England, Wilbert, has gotten his book published and has just finished another one for his son Christopher and it is due to published. Anyway, remember how Thomas was tired of being cooped up as a station pilot and wanted to see the world? Well, with the team effort of me, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and of course Thomas and you too, his wish has finally been granted. These stories tell you of how we did it. I hope you like them as much as your new job cause you helped me to write them.
Your friend, William James Holden.

Thomas and Gordon

Narrator: Thomas was a tank engine who lived at big station called Vicarstown where he worked as the station pilot engine. He had six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and short stumpy dome. He also had 2 very special friends, two ponies called Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. He was a fussy little engine, always sorting coaches about. He'd would sort them to their proper trains and pull them to the station ready for bigger engines to take on long journeys. And when trains came in and the people had gotten out, he'd always pull the empty coaches away so that the bigger engines could go and have a rest.

Thomas: And that's basically how it works, Miss Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow Thomas. You have the most wonderful job in the world. Sorting trains out kinda reminds me of re organising my bookshelves back home.

Thomas: I see. Boy, you sure like to keep things organize.

Twilight Sparkle: Heheh. Organised is my middle name. Twilight Organised Sparkle, hahahaha.

Thomas: Hahahaha. That's a good one Twilight.

Pinkie Pie: Hahahahaha. Yeah! You could give me a run for my money in jokes.

William: You got that right Pinkie Pie.

Thomas: Oh, here comes Henry with the Flyer Of Vicarstown. We'd better go and sort out that train.

Twilight Sparkle: Right on it, Thomas.

Narrator: And they went back to work. Thomas is a cheeky engine too. He thought that no engine worked as hard as he did, so he used to play tricks on the other engines and ponies. He liked best of all, to come up quietly to a big engine and a pony dozing in the sun and make them jump.

Thomas: (Whisper Snickering) Oy Pinkie Pie, there's Henry, Applejack, Rarity and Simmors.

Pinkie Pie. (Whisper) Alright. Got the confetti cannon ready.

Narrator: They inched forward slowly.

William: Uh, Thomas, Pinkie, what are you 2 doing?

Thomas: (Snickering) Ready? 3.

Pinkie Pie: (Snickering) 2.

Thomas: (Snickering) 1.

Narrator: Pinkie Pie fired her confetti cannon whistle and Thomas whistled loudly.

Henry: AAAHHHHH! WHAT IN THE WORLD!?

Applejack: WHAT IN TARNATION!?

Simmors: WHAT THE DEVIL?!

Rarity: OH MY STARS!

Pinkie Pie/Thomas: WAKE UP LAZY BONES! Why don't you work hard like us.

Narrator: Thomas and Pinkie Pie laughed out loud.

Henry: Thomas! Come on! I just had busy morning today.

Simmors: Yeah. Can't an engine get some sleep round here?

Rarity: Pinkie Pie, you aren't better off!

Applejack: Oh! Thomas, Pinkie Pie, you scared the apples out of me.

Thomas: Calm down Applejack. We're only joking. Don't worry. I'll get your coaches ready for your next trains.

William: That better be the last trick of the day, Thomas and Pinkie.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, don't stretch it too far.

Narrator: They went off to find the coaches. One day, Gordon, Rainbow Dash and Rachel were resting in the siding. They were very tired. Not only did Henry and Applejack break Gordon and Rainbow Dash's record again and got their train to Knapford early, but the Wild Nor Wester had been running late and had they had had to run as fast as they could to make up for lost time. They were just going to sleep again, when Thomas came up in his cheeky way with Pinkie Pie.

Twilight Sparkle: Your not thinking about…

Narrator: Thomas whistled and Pinkie Pie blasted the party canon so loudly that Gordon and Rainbow Dash jumped.

Gordon: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I SURRENEDER SARGENT MAJOR!

Rainbow Dash: SSSSSDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I SURRENEDER SARGENT SPITFIRE!

Rachel: DAHHH! I'M LISTENING MISS MARGARET! I'M AWAKE!

Thomas/Pinkie Pie: Waking up lazy bones! Do some hard work for change!

Rainbow Dash: Oh that. Is so it little Tommy and Pinkie Pie?

Thomas: Uh uh uh! No chasing around the yards. That's against regulations. HAHAHAHA! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!

Narrator: And Thomas ran off laughing.

Pinkie Pie: Best prank yet Thomas!

Thomas: Sure was Pinkie.

Twilight Sparkle: Was that necessary you 2?!

Thomas: I thought it was. I hardly have any fun just being in this yard.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah Twilight, cut in some slack.

William: One of these days Thomas, all those pranks are gonna backfire at you.

Thomas: I doubt.

Narrator: Meanwhile instead of going to sleep again, Gordon and Rainbow Dash were thinking how to get back at Thomas. However, Rachel didn't think that it was a good idea. One morning, Thomas wouldn't wake up. William, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie couldn't make him start. His fire was out and there was not enough steam. It was nearly time for Gordon's morning Wild Nor Wester. The people were waiting, but the coaches weren't ready.

Twilight Sparkle: Come on Thomas. Sober up.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, wakey wakey!

Thomas: (Groan) Alright! Alright already.

Narrator: At last, Thomas started.

Thomas: (Yawn) Oh dear! Oh dear!

Coaches: Come on you! Hurry up!

Thomas: Ah shut up!

Narrator: Thomas gave them a rude bump and made his way to the station.

William: Thomas, calm down will yah?

Thomas: (Graugy) Don't stop dawdling don't stop dawdling.

Pinkie Pie: Don't you mean don't start dawdling Thomas?

Thomas: (sleepy) Whatever.

Coaches (Barring 7 and 8): Where have you been?! Where have you been?!

Thomas: Listen you, one more sass out of you lot and this trip will be your last.

Coaches (Barring 7 and 8): How rude.

Twilight Sparkle: I couldn't agree more. Thomas, what's gotten into you.

Thomas: Well, I've been kept up all night listening to these these engines boasting about how great their journeys are.

Twilight Sparkle: Alright just calm down, we're nearing the station.

Coach 6: You were saying numbers 7 and 8?

Coach 7: He's just tired number 6.

Coach 8: Yeah, he had to listen to the big engines boasting, which could make anyone miserable.

Coach 7: He really needs some more engines his own size, the poor thing.

Narrator: They fused into the station where Gordon, Rainbow Dash and Rachel were waiting.

Rainbow Dash: Well, you took your sweet time.

William: Sorry Rainbow Dash, Thomas was slow to start today.

Gordon: Well hurry up you!

Thomas: Ah! Hurry yourself.

Narrator: Gordon and Rainbow Dash began making their plan.

Gordon: Oh yes we will, won't we Rainbow dash?

Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah.

Rachel: Uh, Gordon, Rainbow, what are you 2 thinking?

Rainbow Dash: Oh, uh, nothing! Come on G, let's get you coupled on.

Gordon: Oh! Right!

Narrator: Almost before the coaches stopped moving, Gordon reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.

Gordon: Get in quickly please.

Narrator: The people got in quickly. The clock struck the hour, the guard blew the whistle, and Gordon was ready to start. Thomas always pushed behind the big trains to help them start. But William always uncoupled him first. That way, when the train was running nicely, he could stop and go back, but this time he was late, and Gordon had started so quickly they forgot to uncouple Thomas. Slowly, the train pulled out of the station.

Gordon: Come on! Come on! Come on!

Rainbow Dash: That's right coaches get a move on we're not going to wait till next spring.

Rachel: Ok, I think we are good.

Thomas: Um Twilight, Pinkie Pie, William! Why aren't we moving back?

Narrator: William looked through the cab window and gasped.

William: Uh oh!

Twilight Sparkle: What do you mean, 'uh oh'? Whats going on?

William: Well um, considering the fact that I forgot to uncouple Thomas from the train, we have no way of communicating to Rainbow Dash, the train is now accelerating at top speed and we just happen to be attached to the back of the Wild Nor Wester which just happens to be the fastest train on the railway... We're in for a wild ride.

Narrator: And William was right. The train was accelerating faster and faster, too fast for Thomas, Twilight and Pinkie Pie's likings. They wanted to stop, but they couldn't.

Thomas: STOP! STOP!

Pinkie: AHAHAHAH! MAKE IT STOP! OH! MAKE IT STOP!

Gordon: HAHAHA! I'M ONLY CRUSING RAINBOW DASH! OPEN THE REGULATOR WIDE OPEN! MWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rainbow Dash: You got it! Gordon. Mwah hahahahahahaha!

Narrator: She opened the regulator wide open. They accelerated to 101 miles per hour.

Thomas/ Twilight Sparkle/William/Pinkie Pie: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Coaches (Barring 7 and 8): you can't get away! You can't get away! HAHAHAHAHA!

Coach 7: You lot be quiet! Poor Thomas has been going through enough pain as it is.

Coach 8: If only there was a way to cheer him up dear sister.

(In Gordon's cab.)

Rachel: Uh, Gordon, Rainbow Dash, what's with the 'evil laughter'?

Gordon: Oh um... You know, because... The B-12s are no longer here, and I'm the only engine strong enough to pull the express on my own.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, and... I'm driving Gordon. So, that's why.

Rachel: Hmm. There is something your not telling me.

Narrator: Poor Thomas was going faster than he had ever gone before. He was out of breath and his wheels hurt him but he had to go on.

Thomas: (Sobbing) I'll shall never be the same engine again. My wheels will be quite worn out.

William: And who's fault do you think that was, hhhhhmmmm!?

Narrator: At last, they stopped at Ballahoo station. Thomas was uncoupled and he felt very silly and exhausted. Then William, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie ran him on to a turntable as everyone laughed at him. Then he ran onto a siding out of the way. Rainbow Dash laughed so hard tears streamed out of her eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Bwahahahah!

Gordon: Well now little Thomas. Now you know what hard work means, don't you?

Rachel: OH! So that explains the evil laughter. You 2 are in so much trouble! I'll see too it that Sir Topham puts you on goods duties for a week Gordon. As for you Dash, maybe Sir Topham will put you with someone else.

Gordon/Rainbow Dash: Uh oh...

Narrator: Poor Thomas couldn't answer. He had no breath. He just puffed slowly away to rest and had long long drink of water.

William: Oh good grief. Now you see what happens when you play tricks on the big engines Thomas…. (Gulp) …Oh horrors. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Thomas: me too… (Gulp)…

Pinkie Pie: me….Three… (Gulp)…

Twilight: me….four…(Gulp)…

Narrator: They went slowly home, and in future, Thomas was careful not to be cheeky to Gordon again.

Right. What did you think of that? Next up is "Thomas' Train". Keep a lookout for that.
