Author's notes: Ok then! Let's get to the final part of Flora, The Old Tram Engine. This story is another one of those 'feel good' stories, and another happy ending to a wonderful saga.

A Happy Reunion

Narrator: The ponies and drivers were as good as there word. When they arrived back to the inn, Miss Ravens quickly telephoned The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia.

Fat Controller: Hhhmmm. Rebuilding an engine from the ground up along with a luggage van and GER bogie wheeled balcony coach? Well, I've never heard of it being done but… We will definitely do it.

Miss Ravens: Really? Oh thank you sir! And to you too Princess Celestia.

Princess Celestia: Heheheh. That's alright. If there's one thing that me and the Fat Controller have learned, is that nothing is impossible. Have lorry come by and pick them up and take them to the transfer station at East Anglia and we'll have train take them from there. Good day too you all.

Miss Ravens: Uh yes yes. Good day to you too Malady and to you too Sir.

Narrator: Mr. Holden and Mr. Hawkins and the ponies all waited anxiously, when Miss Ravens came out smiling.

Miss Ravens: We've got a green light to save. We're going to restore them!

Narrator: Everyone was delighted! Pinkie Pie was so happy that she shot up into the air like a rocket.

Pinkie Pie: WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOO! THAT'S FANTASTIC!

Mr. Holden/Mr. Hawkins: ALRIGHT! YES!

Narrator: Applejack, Mr. Holden, Twilight Sparkle, Mr. Hawkins, Miss Ravens and Pinkie Pie were so happy they all jumped up and hugged each other. Rarity and Rainbow Dash joined in too.

Applejack: YYYEEEEHAAAWWW! Boy is Toby gonna be one happy tram!

Twilight Sparkle: And Henrietta is gonna be one happy coach too.

Pinkie Pie: And we'll be getting 3 brand new friends to help us out.

Mr. Hawkins: Your right there. Come on. Lets go inform Fluttershy, Flora Fiona and Elsie.

Mr. Holden: Righto.

Narrator: Soon they all went outside. Twilight told the drivers' horses about the good news and even Hobbit behaved well and let Mr. Holden mount him easily.

Mr. Holden: Alright now. Race guys down to the spot!

Rainbow Dash/Applejack: Oh you are so on!

Narrator: And soon all of them took off a like flash! Miss Ravens with Strawberry was leading followed closely by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Mr. Hawkins with Darby and Mr. Holden with Hobbit. All racing neck to neck with Rarity and Twilight side by side. They were so happy and having so much fun. At last, they reached Flora, Fiona, Elsie and Fluttershy.

Twilight: Girls! We've done it! We've done it!

Narrator: Fluttershy jumped and hid behind a stump.

Flora: What what is it?

Miss Ravens: Flora, Fiona, Elsie! We've talked to the Fat Controller and Princess Celestia.

Mr. Holden: We've just called for a lorry to come pick you, Fiona and Elsie up.

Twilight: We're gonna take you to junction at East Anglia put you three on flatbeds bound for Sodor.

Mr. Hawkins: So that all three of you will get rebuilt from top to bottom!

Narrator: All the ponies and drivers grinned with delight. Fluttershy was so delighted she was excitingly speaking really fast.

Fluttershy: (Excited beyond words) OOH! THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! THEY'RE GONNA REPAIR YOU GIRLS AND NOW YOU CAN RUN ON THE RAILS AGAIN.

Narrator: But she wasn't nearly delighted as Fiona, Flora and Elsie

Flora/Fiona/Elsie: Rebuilt? OH HORRAH! HOW FANTASTIC!

Flora: Oh thank you so much. This is so wonderful.

Fiona: We'll see to it that neither Sir Charles Topham Hatt nor Princess Celestia ever regrets this.

Elsie: Indeed. We are forever in your debt.

Fluttershy: Oh, you don't have to be Elsie. We are just happy to help.

Narrator: And so it was arranged. A lorry and steam crane came by to to lift Elsie, Fiona and Flora onto the lorry and then they took them down the road to the junction station where an old Great Eastern Railway D56 Claud Hamilton 4-4-0 Tender engine was waiting to pick them up. Flora, Fiona and Elsie were soon lifted on to the flatbeds, the ponies and drivers got in the brake van, the guard blew the whistle and then they started off on their journey home. The old D56 smiled.

D56: Nice to see you again Flora, Fiona and you too Elsie.

Flora: (Smiling) It's good to see you again as well Molly.

Molly: Sorry about the tramway. Petty, it was such a lovely line too. But at least you'll be going to a new home where Toby and Henrietta are.

Fiona: That's absolutely right Molly. We can't wait to see them again.

Molly: Indeed. I bet Toby will be pleased to see you 3 again. When you see Toby tell him that me Alexander and Claud all said hullo.

Flora: We will. Not to worry Molly.

Narrator: And they sped off into countryside. The brake van wasn't really a first class ride for the ponies or the 3 drivers, but they didn't mind, not even Rarity. They just felt so good about there good deed that they did.

Rarity: (Sigh) What a wonderful holiday. After helping poor Flora, Fiona and Elsie, I don't even mind riding in this brake van.

Applejack: Well heheh, that's first I heard of that.

Twilight: You know Mr. Hawkins, this has been such an amazing holiday. Thank you for letting us come.

Mr. Hawkins: Thank you for coming with us. Thanks to you and Fluttershy, we may have not have rescued Flora, Elsie and Fiona.

Fluttershy: Oh, it was nothing really.

Rainbow Dash: Oh come Fluttershy. It was you that found them. You deserve that much credit.

Rarity: Rainbow Dash is right. You should be very proud of yourself.

Mr. Holden: Rachel, 'he' would be so proud of us. Wouldn't he?

Miss Ravens: He sure would, William. He sure would.

Narrator: Miss Ravens and Mr. Holden smiled at each other. James was waiting at Burrow-In–Furness with some flatbeds, when he heard an unfamiliar whistle.

James: Oy! What was that? That's not an LMS engine's nor standard engine's whistle?

Mr Bernett the 2nd: Your right there James. If anything, that was an LNER whistle of a D56.

Miss Smith: Indeed. I wonder what brings an engine like that to the North Western Railway.

Narrator: Then James saw coming into the junction was the most beautiful engine he had ever seen carrying 2 flatbeds along with a goods train.

James: (Nervously) Uh, hullo there um… uh….

Molly: (Shyly) Oh um, hullo there… I'm Molly. Um, nice to meet you, uh… um…

James: (Nervously) Uh… it's J…James…. I heard that you have some trucks for me to take to Crovans Gate I believe … um is that right.

Narrator: Then James looked up and grinned and so did Molly. Their eyes sparkled happily. Soon, James was coupled up to Molly's flatbeds with Fiona Flora and Elsie on it just as Molly pulled out of the station.

Molly: Goodbye James. I hope we see each other real soon in the future.

James: So do I. Goodbye Molly!

Narrator: With that Rarity and Miss Ravens climbed aboard James' footplate as Mrs Smith and Mr Bernett climbed into the break van and began they're journey back to Sodor. The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia met them at the platform.

Celestia: Welcome back my little ponies, Mr. Holden, Miss Ravens and Mr. Hawkins. Did you all have a nice holiday?

Narrator: She winked as the ponies and the 3 drivers smiled broadly.

Mane 6/3 drivers: We sure did your majesty. We definitely did.

Fat Controller: I see you definitely did. Princess Celestia and I are very pleased with all of you. What you did was a very selfless act and act of merit, generosity and kindness.

Narrator: He then turned to Flora.

Fat Controller: Flora, Fiona, Elsie, I shall have all 3 of you restored good as new and paint you in the same colours as Toby and Henrietta.

Flora: Oh thank you Sir. We are all honoured to meet you and Princess Celestia at last.

Celestia: The honour is all ours.

Narrator: Soon, Flora, Fiona and Elsie were placed inside the workshops be repaired from top to bottom. It took at least 3 years to accomplish. Thomas often mentioned rumours to Toby about another steam tram being built and Toby thought Thomas was just trying to peel his bell. Until at last, a few days later in early 1959 Toby, was waiting at the Knapford Junction with Henrietta when he heard a bell.

Toby: Oy! Did you hear that Applejack, Henrietta? That's sounds like a tram bell.

Henrietta: Yeah I heard it too Toby. But that's impossible.

Applejack: Your the only steam tram on this island, let alone the only one on a British Railway left.

Flora: Not anymore Toby, my younger brother.

Narrator: Toby gasped and blinked. There was Flora, Fiona and Elsie standing there, gleaming in the sunlight good as new. Toby felt happier than had been when he was saved.

Toby: I don't believe it! Flora your back! And in great shape too! (Tears of happiness) Oh I've missed you so much old sister!

Flora: (Tears of happiness) I've missed you too younger brother.

Henrietta: Oh Elsie! Fiona! Me and Toby missed you so much!

Fiona: We've missed you too older sister.

Elsie: Same here. It's great to be reunited as one great eastern tramway family

Flora: You took the words right out of my mouth.

Narrator: Now, Flora, Fiona, Elsie, Henrietta and Toby are now happily back together again. Fiona and Flora help Toby and Henrietta with passenger work along the tramway on Thomas' branchline. Flora and Fiona often help Toby and Henrietta take the quarrymen to and from the quarry if the work load gets too heavy for Toby and Henrietta on their own. Flora sometimes gives passenger services for residences along the quarry tramline with Fiona and Elsie. She also often allows Toby to borrow Elsie on his journey up to quarry and back down just like old times. And long after a good days work, you can see the two tram engines shutting there eyes smiling remembering the happy days of the past and now of the bright future ahead of them. For now, Fiona, Elsie and Flora know that if you make an impression on youngsters or seniors, they will support you even in your most desperate of hours.

The End…

...Of this saga. Well, what's next? Ooh, the next saga is about Molly. Look out for that.
