Thomas And The Missing Christmas Tree.

Narrator: At Christmas time, British Railways sends over a Christmas tree to the Island of Sodor. Each year, it stands at the platform at Tidmouth Station where there is carol concert where people and ponies sing carols around it and the town band plays. Afterwards there is always a special treat for the children and foals.

Mane 6 ponies/Main 6 drivers and several pony/Human Carollers: (Singing) Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!
Hear the joyous music play!
Bells are ringing
Choirs singing
Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!

Sharing a season of good cheer
With the ones we hold so dear
Friendly faces
Warm embraces
Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!

Snowflake covered country lanes
Jack Frost painted window panes
Twinkling stars on Christmas trees
Oh, what happy memories.

Gathered 'round the fireplace
Families filled with love and grace
'Round the peaceful embers glow
Blessed yuletide spirits grow
Grow and grow
Grow and grow

Joy to the children far and near
What a wond'rous time of year
Isn't it just grand to say
Merry Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Christmas
Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!

Narrator: It was a week before Christmas and many children and foals were expected on the Island of Sodor for there first Christmas. Since this was also going to be Princess Celestia's, Princess Luna's and Princess Cadence's first ever official Christmas on the Island of Sodor, let alone in there lives, the Fat Controller wanted this year's carol concert party to be an extra special occasion giving orders for everywhere to be scrubbed and polished ready for the special night. All the engines and ponies were very excited a busy with the final preparations. James took a train decorations to Tidmouth station where Rarity and Miss Ravens would help to decorate the station, Pinkie pie with the help of Mr. and Mrs. Cake and Mr. Holden helped to bake several cakes pies, cookies and puddings and Pinkie Pie and Mr. Roberts and Percy would help to deliver to the refreshment stand ready for the big night. Oliver, Duck, Donald and Douglas worked with Soarin, Big Macintosh, Applejack, Braeburn, Mr. Holden, Mr Thompson, Miss Ravens and Mr. Hawkins bringing the apple families baked apple goods and warm apple cider as well as passengers along their line. Edward, Mr. Hoskins and Fluttershy would help bring Reverend Charles Laxey the vicar of wellsworth, and his church's choir, whilst Bo-Co brought trevor the traction engine. Thomas, Twilight, Toby and Applejack along with Daisy, Flora, Fancy Pants, Fleur De Les and Fluttershy would help bring passengers along their branchline. Brush would usually bring the Christmas tree from the other railway too. One afternoon, Thomas came into Tidmouth station with Mr. Hawkins, Twilight Sparkle and Annie and Clarabel. Gordon, Rainbow Dash, Mr Thomson, Applejack, Henry and Mr Holden were their too. The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia were arranging the Carol party.

Fat Controller: You all have important jobs to do this year. Thomas Princess Celestia and I want you Mr. Hawkins and Twilight sparkle to fetch the Christmas tree. Brush the works diesel has failed and won't be ready in time to pick it up, so I need you to fill in for him.

Ceslestia: Gordon, you, Mr. Thompson, and Rainbow Dash shall bring Mayor Mare of Ponyville and the Mayor of Sodor.

Fat Controller: And Henry, you, Applejack and Mr. Holden will be in charge of cards, letters and parcels.

Narrator: Thomas, Twilight and Mr. Hawkins beamed with pride.

Thomas/Twilight Sparkle/Mr. Hawkins: Yes sir!

Thomas: Um, will we be able to join in and sing in the carol's too?

Fat Controller: Hmhmhmhmhm. We'll see.

Narrator: Thomas sighed.

Thomas: (Sigh) It would be nice to sing carols again.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't you worry Thomas. I'm sure we will.

Narrator: 2 days before Christmas, the Fat Controller and Princess Celestia came to see him.

Celestia: Alright. Thomas, Twilight and Mr. Hawkins, it is now time for you to collect the Christmas tree.

Fat Controller: Duck here will look after Annie and Clarabel until you get back. Don't worry about the Little Western, Duck. Donald and Douglas will help Oliver and Billy. You shall be working with Applejack and Mr. Holden whilst you are here.

Duck/Thomas/Twilight/Mr. Hawkins/Mr. Holden/Applejack: Yes Sir and Malady!

Narrator: With that, Thomas puffed happily on his way to collect the Christmas tree. At Tidmouth Sheds, Henry, Gordon and Rainbow Dash sulked.

Henry: Why should Thomas go?! He can't do anything that a splendid green engine like me couldn't do.

Gordon: Nor me as a splendid blue engine.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah! Anyone would think that Thomas was special or something.

Donald: Och, well yer stop complainin' lads and lass?

Douglas: Di ne bother with them Donal'. Come on. Let's go help Oliver and Billy instead. (Starts puffing off)

Donald: Right behind yer Duggie. (Follows his twin out of the shed)

Narrator: Thomas had to go down the line through Edward's station to Crovans gate to pick up the tree. The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia had to be back by tea time. Thomas arrived at Crovans Gate safely and Twilight Sparkle coupled him up to a flat bed and brake van just as Sir Handel arrived with Pipsqueak, back with empty trucks from, they had been doing ballast work. They want to see Thomas, Twilight and Mr. Hawkins off.

Sir Handel: Merry Christmas Thomas, Twilight and too you too Mr. Hawkins. And happy Hearths Warming.

Pipsqueak: Same here. Merry Christmas and happy Hearths Warming to all of you. Good luck on your journey. We'll all be cheering you on for a safe journey.

Thomas: Thank you Sir Handel, Pipsqueak. And merry Christmas and happy Hearths Warming to you and your friends too.

Twilight Sparkle: Yes indeed. Thank you very much and merry Christmas and happy Hearths Warming to you and your friends.

Mr. Hawkins: Oh thanks Pipsqueak and you too Sir Handel. Merry Christmas and happy Hearths Warming to you too and all of your friends.

Sir Handel/Pipsqueak: Thank you guys, and good luck.

Narrator: With that, Thomas set off for the return journey back to Tidmouth and Sir Handel went back for a rest in the sheds where the other Skarloey engines and little foals would be waiting.

Thomas: We mustn't be late. The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia are relying on us.

Twilight Sparkle: You got that right. I don't plan to be late for this carol party, especially since this will be Princess Celestia's Princess Luna's and Princess Cadence's first official Christmas on Sodor, Mr. Hawkins .

Mr. Hawkins: Don't worry guys. We'll make there before any of you can say eggnog.

Twilight Sparkle/Thomas: Eggnog!

Narrator: Thomas and Twilight laughed, but Mr Hawkins looked slightly embarrassed.

Mr Hawkins: Heh, maybe not that quickly, but we will get there on time.

Narrator: But it had been snowing again large snow drifts lay ahead and unfortunately Thomas wasn't wearing his snowplough. He whistled bravely and tried to force his way through.

Thomas: Come on! Come on! This is snow storm is dreadful!

Twilight Sparkle: I know what you mean.

Narrator: But there was worse to come. As they crested Gordon's hill and began to head down the hill, suddenly the saw a large snow drift ahead in their path.

Thomas: STOP! STOP! THERES A SNOW DRIFT AHEAD!

Twilight Sparkle: QUICK MR. HAWKINS! BRAKE!

Mr. Hawkins: Oh Jiminey Christmas! (Applies the brakes) BRAKE! BRAKE!

Narrator: Mr. Hawkins set his reverse hard over full steam and applied the brakes hard on! But the rails were frosty and icy. and the tree was heavy they couldn't stop in time. They ran, smack into the snow drift with a loud ker splat!

Twilight Sparkle: Get him out! Get him out!

Narrator : Thomas tried hard to reverse out of the drift but it was no use he was stuck fast and couldn't move. Then came more trouble suddenly a mighty gust of wind blew all around him and the result in the gust of wind loosened a large clump of snow on the cutting side. And Thomas and twilight and Mr. Hawkins saw to their horror a large clump of snow starting to fall off the cutting above them.

Thomas/ Twilight/ Mr. Hawkins: AVALANCHE !

Narrator: Thomas shut his eyes as Twilight and Mr. Hawkins bundled their scarfs tightly, shut the cab doors and crouched in the cab. And before you could say jack frost. Poor Twilight Sparkle, Mr. Hawkins and Thomas were snowed under. Back at Tidmouth it had been snowing too the workmen had to work extra hard digging with spades to clear path for the visitors. The other engines ponies all waited for Thomas to comeback they waited and waited. The next morning on the day of Christmas eve, they were still waiting.

Donald: Och. I wonder what's happened to the poor wee engine, pony and driver. They've been gone for a whole day.

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Mr Holden: I hope they're alright. This storm is strong.

Douglas: Och! Me Tae Mr Holden. Me Tae.

Braeburn: Same here partners.

Mr. Roberts: Me too. I tried calling Wellsworth but got no answer. I even tried telegraphing a message, but still nothing.

Rainbow Dash: I know it's like them to be this late especially twilight .

Gordon: Perhaps they're stuck in tunnel…

Mr. Thompson: Ugh! Now you've done it!

Narrator: Henry let of steam indignantly.

Henry: POOH! They've most likely have been turned onto a branchline!

Applejack: Henry, knock it off! we don't need you to add to further disruption.

Gordon: Well, Thomas is a branch line engine after all, so that's not far from possible. He might have been turned in at Knaphord to go down his own.

Henry: (To self) Guess that wasn't my best choice.

Mr Holden: You have to admit, Gordon does have a point.

Donald/Douglas/Braeburn: They've could have run into a cow.

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Henry: Oh, poor little Thomas afraid of a cow. Ha!

Mr Roberts: Says one of the engines who was afraid of a cow once.

Henry: Why you…

Narrator: The engines argued with there drivers and ponies loudly!

Fat Controller/Celestia: SILENCE! They've done nothing of the kind!

Narrator: The ponies, engines and drivers stopped arguing and turned to face the Fat Controller and Princess Celestia whom were look serious.

Celestia: We all know from my sister, Princess Luna, that Thomas had collected the tree and has left Crovans Gate safely yesterday. But we've had a massive heavy snowfall lately since that day

Fat Controller: Princess Celestia and I have tried to send a message to find out what has happened to them but now the snow has forced the telephone wires down and were unable to call relay a message to them. So it seems that we must assume that Thomas is stranded somewhere near Edward's station at Wellsworth.

Narrator: The ponies, drivers and engines all felt sorry for Poor Thomas, Twilight Sparkle and Mr. Hawkins.

Douglas: We're not gonna tae leave them there are we Sir and Malady?

Celestia: Why certainly not. We will need two volunteers to …

Narrator: All the engines whistled loudly at once and all the ponies and drivers raised there hands and hooves up into the air! The noise was deafening. They all wanted to rescue Thomas, Twilight and Mr. Hawkins. Donald and Douglas were chosen for the job.

Fat Controller: You two are far more experienced in working in snow, so, you will have to do it.

Donald/Douglas: Och! Aye, Sir!

Celestia: Braeburn, Big Macintosh, Mr Holden and Mr. Thompson, We need you 4 will be working with Donald and Douglas in the rescue.

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Braeburn/Mr Holden/Mr. Thompson: YES MAM!

Narrator: Quickly, Mr Holden and Mr. Thompson fetched the snowploughs and Braeburn and Big Macintosh checked them carefully to make sure that they were all ready for the rescue journey. Then, they were coupled at once back to back with a tool van in between and the snowploughs at each end. Cold but confident, they set off out of the yards and off to the rescue.

Ponies/engines/drivers/Fat Controller/Princess Celestia: GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!

Narrator: At Knapford junction, they found Daisy, Fleur De Les, Fancy Pants, Mavis, Trixie, Percy, Pinkie Pie, Mr Roberts, Toby, Duck, Flora and Fluttershy.

Duck: Princess Celestia and The Fat Controller has cancelled all trains and has order that all engines to try and reach Tidmouth.

Mr. Roberts: Yeah, so take care.

Toby: Come back safely with Thomas and the missing Christmas tree!

Pinkie Pie: And Twilight sparkle as well.

Trixie: And don't forget Mr. Hawkins.

Fluttershy: Oh, I hope they aren't hurt.

Narrator: They all gave them a cheer of good luck. Donald and Douglas puffed bravely on. The snow was getting thicker now as they struggled through Wellsworth station towards Gordon's hill. Donald wanted to stop for rest but Douglas, Braeburn, Mr. Thompson, Mr Holden and Big Macintosh wouldn't let him.

Donald: (Panting) I'm getting knackered! Can't we stop for a wee rest?

Mr Holden: No we can't Donald. Look, I'm as tired as you, but we can't give in now!

Braeburn: Princess Celestia and the Fat Controller are depending on us to save Thomas, Twilight and Mr Hawkins.

Douglas: Braeburn's right, and what if Thomas Twilight and Mr. Hawkins are lying hurt somewhere.

Mr. Thompson: We must get through! We must rescue them at all costs!

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Donald: Och, aye. Yer right there. Let's go.

Narrator: So they bravely struggled on. Great drifts of snow lay across Gordon's hill. Again and again they forced the snowploughs into the snow with all their might. Each time moving slowly forward, then they drew back and paused for breath and charged again rinse and repeat.

(Donald/Douglas charging drifts )

Donald: Ready?!

Douglas: Ready!

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Braeburn: Ready!

Mr Holden/Mr Thompson: Ready!

Donald: NOW!

(Donald and Douglas charge the drift. )

Mr Holden: Alright. Good charge, good charge. Alright. Lets draw back for another attack!

Muffled voices: Help!

Douglas: Hullo? What was that?

Braeburn: Beats me. What are….

Muffled voices: Heelp!

Douglas: Hussh everyone! I can hear something!

Narrator: Very faintly there came a muffled cry for help.

Muffled voices: Help! Help!

Donald: Och. It's probably the wind. Now, we must keep lookin' for Thomas, Twilight and Mr Hawkins and clear te line.

Big Macintosh: Eeeyup!

Muffled voices: Help!

Douglas: Nae. Listen!

Muffled voices: Help! Help! Over here!

Donald: OCH! IT'S THOMAS!

Big Macintosh: EEEYUP!

Braeburn: Your right Douglas. There he is! Completely covered!

Douglas: Pff. Told ye so… Now come on! Let's get him oot. He must be frozen tae his frames in there!

Mr Holden/Mr. Thompson: Wait a minute. Where's twilight sparkle and Mr. Hawkins?!

Mr. Hawkins/Twilight: HERE WE ARE! WE'RE ALRIGHT!

Narrator: The two driver and ponies quickly turned to where they heard the voices and there to their relief was Twilight Sparkle and Mr. Hawkins. They had taken shelter in a nearby cottage and were not hurt at all. As the two ponies the drivers and the workmen all came out to dig the heavy drifts of snow away Twilight Sparkle and Mr. Hawkins came down to help to. Before long, Fluttershy, Mr. Hoskins, Rarity, Miss Ravens Edward and James arrived with more help. The men clambered down from there van, Fluttershy, Rarity, Miss Ravens and Mr. Hoskins quickly clambered down and set to work digging away the snow and Thomas was soon clear. And at last, Edward and James pulled Thomas and the precious Christmas tree out of the snow and back to a crossover. Thomas was pleased to see Edward, James, Donald, Douglas the ponies and other drivers but he felt cold and miserable, his fire was out and he no steam at all. So Big macintosh and Fluttershy coupled him up in between Donald and James. Mr. Hawkins and Twilight joined Big Macintosh and Mr. Holden aboard Donald and they all set off back to Tidmouth along the line.

Thomas: (Shivering) Thank you so much for saving us.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah same here. We owe all big time.

Mr. Hawkins: Indeed. We thought we were going to be stranded there forever, but thanks to you guys we aren't anymore. God bless you all.

Edward: Oh that's quite alright Thomas. All in a day's work.

James: That's right, especially in this time of the year.

Fluttershy: We're just glad your safe.

Miss Ravens: Yeah and once we get you back to Tidmouth. We'll give you a good servicing and you feel much better.

Thomas: Awe, thanks guys

Rarity: Oh nothing to it Thomas dear. Tis the season after all.

Narrator: When they reached Tidmouth, the waiting engines and ponies all cheered and gave Thomas such a warm welcome that he began to feel warm and cheerful again. There was great rush to get things ready for the carol party. The Christmas tree was quickly unload, Twilight Sparkle levitated it into its tub and with Rarity quickly decorated it to perfection just before the Mayor Mare, the Mayor of Sodor, the alicorn princess and the rest of the people and ponies began to crowd into the station. The Fat Controller spoke to the engines and ponies.

Fat Controller: As reward for all your hard work, you may all stay and enjoy the carols .

Narrator: James was so pleased that he let of steam suddenly. The Fat Controller paused.

Rarity: James, darling, remember your boiler pressure!

Fat Controller: But kindly remember this is a very special occasion. Be on your best behaviours and I want no em…. wheeshing, please.

Narrator: James blushed and looked at his buffers.

Molly: (Quietly) It's alright James. Everyone gets excited at some point.

James: (Smiles) Heh, thanks Molly.

(Molly and James quietly exchange a kiss.)

Rarity and Coco Pommel: (Sees them) Aww.

Coco Pommel: That's so sweet.

Narrator: The engines, ponies and the drivers all took there places at the carol concert. Then….

Fat Controller: ONE…. TWO….. THREE..!

Narrator: Suddenly like magic, the station was flooded with lights and there was the Christmas tree decorated with coloured lamps stars and lights. And there, standing on a podium was the Fat Controller, Mayor Mare, the mayor of Sodor, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence with Prince Shining Armor.

Fat Controller: Ladies, gentlemen, children, fillies, colts and foals. I would like to present to you the three Alicorn Princess of Equestria Princess Cadence, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia.

Narrator: The three princess took the podium.

Celestia: Thank you, Sir Stephen Topham Hatt and all of you. This really means a lot to all us. We are all very honoured to be celebrating this holiday with all of you. For we have learned that your holiday of Christmas is not as different as our holiday back in Equestria called Hearth Warming Eve.

Luna: We have learned that Christmas, like thy hearth warming eve, demonstrates that it is not just a mere holiday here it is tis a holiday that is a symbolisation of unity, and love to one and all

Cadence: Indeed, a holiday where everyone and everypony is family

Celestia: We all are proud to be part united together as one big loving family we have our famous ponies and Sir Topham Hatt's famous engines to thank for that. So from all of us we would like to say.

Celestia/Luna/Cadence: Merry Christmas and Happy Hearts Warming.

Fat Controller: So, without further a due, we would like to give three cheers for Twilight Sparkle, Mike Hawkins and Thomas the tank engine and all of their friends for making this occasion possible.

Narrator: And everyone cheered and clapped and stamped there hooves. The engines were delighted . James was so excited he let out a great wwhhheseesh and everyone laughed even the Fat Controller and the princess alicorns. As the cheer died down, there was a strange whirring noise and the sound of pegasi wings. It seemed to come from the sky. Everyone looked up and Percy, Toby, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Flora, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash smiled. They knew who it was. With landing lights shining brightly, Harold the Helicopter touched down gently in the snow followed by the Wonderbolts and out stepped a figure wearing a red cloak and hood. Everyone and everypony cheered. It was Father Christmas! He handed out presents to all the children and foals and the carol party began. Then, Father Christmas thanked James, Rarity, Edward, Fluttershy, Mr. Hoskins, Miss Ravens , Mr. Holden, Braeburn, Big Macintosh, Donald and Douglas for rescuing Thomas Twilight and Mr. Hawkins and saving the missing Christmas tree.

Father Christmas: Happy Christmas Thomas, Twilight Sparkle, and Mr. Hawkins. And to all your friends from the land of equestria and the Island of Sodor.

Narrator: Then, joining the carollers the mane 6 ponies, the main 6 drivers and Father Christmas went to join the in on the Christmas carol concert.

(First carol)

Every engine/ every pony / everybody : ( singing ) The first Nowell the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep:Refrain Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. They lookèd up and saw a star, Shining in the east, beyond them far: And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night:

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star whersoever it went: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the north-west; O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with his blood mankind hath bought: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel.

(Second Carol)

Every engine/ every pony / everybody : ( singing ) The fire of friendship lives in our hearts As long as it burns we cannot drift apart Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few Laughter and singing will see us through (will see us through) We are a circle of many friends A circle of friends we'll be to the very end

( final number )

Every engine/ every pony / everybody : ( singing ) We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas And a Happy New Year We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas And a Happy New Year

Narrator: Everyone was very happy and the carol party was great success. Afterwards, Thomas, Percy, Toby, Flora, Daisy and Mavis went back to the sheds together. When the ponies and drivers went to Knapford hotel to rest, Thomas whispered to Percy.

Thomas: It's no fun getting stuck in the snow but it was worth it for that party, (yawn) merry Christmas and happy Hearts Warming everyone and everypony.

Narrator: He, Percy and the others went happily to sleep. Back at Knapford Hotel, everyone was resting by the fireplace in the lounge room and all were tired out but happy. It was Mr. Hawkins and Twilight Sparkle whom broke the silence.

Mr. Hawkins: You know guys, me and Twilight want to say thank you for saving us and Thomas from the snow. I couldn't as for a better gift than all of you.

Twilight Sparkle: You guys are the best Christmas and hearth warming presents a pony could ever ask for.

Mr. Hawkins: Merry Christmas eve guys,

Twilight Sparkle: Happy hearth warming eve guys

Mr. Hawkins/Twilight Sparkle: Merry Christmas and happy Hearth Warming eve everyone.

Narrator: They all went cheerfully to sleep.

Heh, I had to get that done before I realised it was too late. Let's get to 'Gordon The High Speed Engine'. That one is going to be a fun one for sure.
