A Dream Comes True
Narrator: James puffed off to London. He along with Rarity and Mr. Holden felt sorry for Molly and wanted to all they could to save her before it was too late.
James: How disgusting of them to break up one of the last engines of her kind.
Rarity: I know James darling. It's just down right disgusting!
Mr. Holden: I agree, and if she goes, than the her entire engine class legacy will fade into oblivion with her. We cannot allow that.
James: We must rescue Molly! We must!
Rarity: That's the spirit James darling. We'll rescue her. No matter.
Narrator: At last they reached S.T Pancras Station at London and Mr. Holden and Rarity went to telephone the Fat Controller.
Fat Controller: Hullo there Mr. Holden.
Celestia: Hullo there Rarity. You two sound sad. What's the matter?
Mr. Holden: There's a Claud Hamilton named Molly in a scrapyard sir. She's going to cut up this month and it's and it's a heartbreaker especially since she's the last of her kind. Her driver, Rex Cooper, says he's never driven a finer Great Eastern Engine. We were thinking about having her rescued by the Sodor Railway Trust Society?
Celestia: Hmmm. I see. So she's the last of her kind?
Rarity: Oh please do save her. Your our only chance! If she goes, than the Claud Hamilton legacy will fade away with her. Please do save her.
Narrator: The Fat Controller and Princess Celestia pondered.
Celestia: Well, what do you think Sir Charles Topham Hatt?
Fat Controller: Well… I… Wait a minute. That's it! I nearly forgot the newly restored Kirk Ronan Branchline. That'll be perfect. Yes! It can be done.
Celestia: Good think Sir Charles.
Narrator: The Fat Controller and Celestia returned to the telephone
Celestia: Mr. Holden, Rarity… I am pleased to inform you that the Claud Hamilton will be ours, thanks to both of you and James. Sir Charles Topham Hatt and I are very proud of all 3 of you.
Fat Controller: Indeed we are. Molly is just what we need for the new restored Kirk Ronan Branch line. Princess Celestia and the Sodor Railway Trust Society will arrive tomorrow morning.
Narrator: Mr. Holden and Rarity were so delighted that they hugged each other.
Mr. Holden/Rarity: (Jumping up and hugging ) Yyyyyeessss! Hahaha! We've done it! We've done it! Molly is no safe!
Narrator: They so happy that both Rarity and Mr. Hoden nearly tripped as they ran back to James.
James: What's the word.
Mr. Holden: Mission accomplished! Hahaha!
Rarity: Oh darling, the mission is accomplished. Molly is going to be part of the NWR Family!
James: (Whistling happily) HAHAHA! YES! God bless you Sir and Malady! God bless you both!
Narrator: The following morning, a train came to the breakers yard carrying 2 flatbed trucks. Molly was scared.
Molly: Oh dear… what's going to happen to me?
Narrator: To her surprise a regal, Alicorn princess and smartly dressed man, several men, women, mares and stallions walked to scarpyard merchants office. Molly was very very surprised. Molly heard a debate, the diesel pulling the flatbeds left the train and went off. To her bewilderment, she saw right behind the flatbeds, a coach.
Molly: What's all this? I've never seen a train like this before.
Narrator: Just then, the alicorn princess and the smartly dressed man and the stallions, mares, men and women walked over to her smiling.
Fat Contrroller: Hullo there Molly. My name is Sir Charles Topham Hatt, founder of the Sodor Railway Trust Society and the controller of the North Western railway on the Island of Sodor.
Princess Celestia: And I am Princess Celestia, the alicorn princess of all of Equestria and pony princess helper of Sir Charles Topham Hatt of the North Western Railway on the island of Sodor.
Molly: Well hullo there. It is quite an honour to meet you two, but mind you, may I ask what brings you here?
Fat Controller: Well isn't obvious? The Sodor Railway Trust Society, Princess Celestia and I are here to rescue you.
Molly: (Surprised) Did I just hear you right?
Celestia: Indeed you did. The Sodor Railway Trust Society, Sir Charles Topham Hatt and I are here to take you to your new home on the Island of Sodor.
Fat Controller: You are to be taken to Crovans Gate where you shall be mended into full operating service and repainted into your former Great Eastern Railway dark blue livery.
Narrator: Molly could not believe what she heard. I was like a dream come true.
Molly: Rescued? Mended? Repainted in the old GER livery?
Fat Controller: That is absolutely correct. You are just the engine we need to help run the newly restored Kirk Ronan branch line.
Molly: (Delighted) OH HORRAY! HOW WONDERFUL! Oh god bless you Sir, Malady, to your society and to James, Rarity and Mr. Holden. I'll see to it that you won't be disappointed.
Celestia: That's alright Molly. We're glad to have saved an endangered steam locomotive class. Now then, where are James, Rarity and Mr. Holden?
Narrator: Soon James arrived on another siding close to the scrapyard with two cranes to lift Molly and her tender onto the flatbeds Then once he backed down onto the flatbeds and Rarity coupled him up behind the coach and Molly's flatbeds, he took the train and very delighted Molly to her new home. A few years later in 1963, Toby, Applejack, Miss Ravens, Fluttershy, Mr. Holden, Mr. Hawkins, Flora, Rarity and James were waiting at Crovans Gate for what they heard was wonderful surprise. Soon they all heard steam coming out of the workshop and the sound puffing, steadily getting louder and louder until at last they saw her smiled joyfully.
Toby/Flora: Oh my word! Molly, is that really you?
Narrator: Molly smiled
Molly: Yes Toby and Flora. It's me. I missed both of you so much.
Toby: We've missed you too.
Miss Ravens: I don't believe it. The last of the Claud Hamiltons (Smiling) It's an honour. How on earth did you?
Molly: James, Rarity and Mr. Holden were the ones that saved me.
Narrator: James blushed modestly, then he looked at Molly. She was blushing too and both there eyes were sparkling just like each other.
James: You look marvellous Molly. I'm so glad to have you back with us.
Molly: It's great to be back.
Narrator: And the two engines bestowed there first kiss.
Flora/Fluttershy/Miss Ravens/Mr. Holden/Mr. Hawkins/Toby/Applejack/ Rarity/Peter Sam/Sweetie Belle/Sir Handel/Apple Bloom/Rachel/Babs Seed: Awwwww.
Narrator: Peter Sam and Rachel were so adored that they too kissed each other happily.
Duncan/Scootaloo: Ugh! For the love of pete!
Duncan: First Rachel and Peter Sam
Scootaloo: And now James and Molly
Duncan/Scootaloo: Blargh!
Sir Handel/Apple Bloom/Sweetie Belle/Babs Seed: Oh shut up Duncan and Scootaloo.
Narrator: Molly is now happy as can be and is good friends with every engine, pony and driver. She is mostly worked by Miss Ravens and a pony by the name of Coco Pommel, or nicknamed 'Coco' for short. Fluttershy sometimes works with her when she is not busy working with Edward or Flora. She works mainly on the Kirk Ronan Branch Line but also works the mainline and on other branch lines along the NWR. She primarily takes stopping passengers and sometimes goods and she even share's the Tidmouth Thunderbird with James when he is away or being repaired. Molly is very proud and grateful to be part of the NWR family, for thanks to the help of James the red engine, Molly the Great Eastern Railway Engine now knows that dreams can really come true.
Ok, put it on the list.
Couples of Sodor in chronological order (When they got together):
Rachel X Peter Sam (1958)
James X Molly (Started developing 1956, got together 1963)
Edward X Emily (Started developing 1915, got together 1970)
Yeah, the stories are out of order, deal with it. Anyway, these couples are adorable! Back on track though, it is a crying shame that these Claud Hamiltions are completely gone. I would have loved to have seen at least one or two in preservation. Ah well, at least Molly is on the NWR. Next story is about the C1 atlantic sisters, Sally and Bridget. I'll see you then.
