Author's notes: Ok, here's our 1st proper story with Percy and Pinkie Pie. This should be fun. Let's go.

Percy Runs Away

Narrator: Henry, Gordon and James were shut up for several days, and longed to be let out again. At last, The Fat Controller accompanied by Rainbow dash, Applejack and Rarity arrived.

Fat Controller: I hope you are sorry and understand that you are not so important after all. Thomas, Edward, Simmors and our new tank engine Percy have worked the line nicely and they need a change. I will let you out if you promise to be good.

All three engines: Yes Sir! We will!

Fat Controller: That's good, but please remember that this no shunting nonsense must stop. Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack I entrust you that you can keep this in check.

Applejack: You can count on me sir.

Rarity: Certainly Sir.

Rainbow dash: No problem. They didn't give me the element of loyalty for nothing.

Narrator: He then told Percy, Pinkie Pie, Edward, Fluttershy, Thomas, Twilight Sparkle, Rachel and William that they could work on Ffarqhuar branchline for a few days and they ran off happily. Simmors was also allowed to have his old trains back. Annie and Clarabel were so pleased to see Thomas again that he Twilight and William took them for a run at once on the morning passenger train to Ffarquhar.

William: Alright Thomas, Annie and Clarabel. Let's go take our morning train to Ffarquhar.

Thomas: Righto William. Tata my friends!

Twilight Sparkle: See you later guys.

Annie: Bye everyone.

Clarabel: See you later. Thanks for taking care of us Rachel, Pinkie Pie and Percy. Thank Applejack for us too.

Pinkie Pie/Rachel/Percy/Edward/Fluttershy: See you later!

Narrator: Percy, Rachel, Pinkie Pie, Edward and Fluttershy were play with trucks.

Trucks: STOP! STOP! STOP!

Narrator: But the two engines, ponies and Rachel laughed and continued shunting until the trucks were tidily arranged.

Edward: And there we go.

Fluttershy: (Giggle)

Pinkie Pie: ( Giggle) This is fun. WEEE!

Narrator: Next, Edward and Fluttershy took some empty trucks up to quarry. Percy, Rachel and Pinkie Pie were left alone. Percy didn't mind it a bit. He liked watching trains and being cheeky to the other engines.

Percy: Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Pinkie Pie: Hurry along now Henry!

Henry: (Sarcastic) Ha ha ha! Very funny.

Applejack: Heh, you have ta admit, it is a little funny.

Narrator: And the big engines got very cross, the ponies driving them… not so much. After awhile, they took two fruit vans across the mainline and on to another siding.

Pinkie Pie: There. That's the last of them.

Rachel: Right now. Let's get back to the yard.

Narrator: Percy then crossed over back to mainline and waited for the signalman to switch him back to yards. He was eager to work, but he was being rather careless and not paying attention. Edward had warned Percy.

(Flashback)

Edward: Be careful on the mainline young Percy. Whistle to the signalman or signalwoman to let you know that you are there.

(Flashback end)

Narrator: But Percy didn't remember to whistle and the signalman was so busy and forgot Percy. Bells rang in the signal box. The man answered saying that the line was clear and set the signals for the next train. Percy waited…

Pinkie: Hmmm… I wonder what's taking that signalman so long to set the points.

Rachel: Search me. But he's got to set them soon.

Narrator: And waited…..

Pinkie Pie: (Yawn) Boy I'm starting to get feel tired. Percy, when's that signal guy going to switch us back to yards?

Percy: I don't know, but he's taking a while isn't he? He's been up their for at least 12 minutes.

Narrator: The points were still against him so he couldn't move.

Rachel: 25 minutes already. He hasn't even changed on switch.

Pinkie Pie: Geez! What's up with the signalman.

Narrator: Suddenly, Pinkie began to shudder violently.

Percy: WHOA! Pinkie, are you alright?

Rachel: What happened?

Pinkie: Oh don't worry. I'm okay. This is normal. I get these strange twitches that I call my pinkie sense.

Narrator: Pinkie then began to shudder violently again.

Percy: So what does that twitch mean?

Rachel: Uhhh Guys…

Pinkie Pie: Don't know! I have gotten something like that before, but that was a long time ago.

Rachel: …Guys…

Percy: Well, whatever it is, it must be a doozy.

Rachel: …Guys…

Pinkie Pie: Hey, that was what I was about to say.

Rachel: GUYS!

Percy/Pinkie Pie: WHAT ?

Rachel: WE'VE GOT TO GET OFF THE MAINLINE, QUICK!

Narrator: She pointed forward, and they looked along the mainline. Percy whistled in horror, for rushing straight towards them, was Gordon and Rainbow Dash with the express. Gordon whistled in horror too. Gordon's driver Ross, and Rainbow Dash shut off steam and applied the brakes. Rachel turned on full steam and reverser hard over in reverse.

Rachel: BACK PERCY! BACK!

Narrator: But Percy's wheels wouldn't turn quickly enough. Gordon was coming at him so fast that it seemed he couldn't stop. With shut eyes, Percy waited for the crash. Rachel jumped clear but Pinkie Pie crouched in his cab.

Rachel: PINKIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET OUT OF THERE!

Narrator: But Pinkie Pie was too surprised with fear to hear her.

Gordon: OOOOEERRRR!

Pinkie: Oh no no no no! Not good! Not good! Not good!

Rainbow Dash: SSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Gordon: Get out of my way!

Narrator: Percy opened his eyes. Gordon had stopped with his buffers of just a few inches from Percy's.

Rainbow dash: Phew! That was a close. Are you guys alright?

Pinkie: I dunno Dashie.

Rainbow Dash: Why's that.

Narrator: But before anyone could answer, Percy had begun to move.

Pinkie Pie: Hey Percy, are you pinkie sensing too?

Percy: No I'm not, Pinkie! I won't stay here. I'll run away!

Narrator: And Percy darted away in terror.

Pinkie Pie: Uh… Percy!

Percy: Yes Pinkie?

Pinkie Pie: You forgot Rachel!

Percy: Oh, oops!

Rainbow Dash: (Sigh) I Should have known that was going to happen. (She flies off to find the signalman.)

Narrator: Just then, Rachel finally calmed down after her panic.

Rachel: (To self) Oh good, Gordon stopped just in time. (She turns to him) Hey Gordon, where's Pinkie Pie and Percy?

Narrator: Before the express engine could reply, Rainbow Dash returned and did it for him.

Rainbow Dash: (Flies back to Rachel) That way… (She pointed to the little green engine running bunker first down the mainline uncontrollably.)

Narrator: Rachel stared in horror.

Rachel: (GASP) HE'S ROLLING DOWN THE MAINLINE!

Rainbow Dash: Calm down Rachel. I talked to the signalman and me and Gordon are going to go rescue Percy. Jump in the cab.

Narrator: Rachel jumped frantically into the cab, Rainbow Dash opened the regulator and they went to the rescue. Meanwhile, Percy was now clear of the signalbox. He went through Edward's station whistling loudly and was so frightened that ran right up Gordon's hill without stopping.

Pinkie Pie: Percy… STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!

Percy: I'M TRYIN! I'M TRYIN!

Narrator: They then passed a lonely manor.

Pinkie Pie: Hey, I wonder who lives there.

Percy: Hmmm…. Good question Pinkie…WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!

Narrator: Percy shrieked loudly as he and Pinkie swerved violently along the downward slope almost derailing them. After that, he was tired. He couldn't stop though. He had no driver to shut off steam or apply the brakes, and Pinkie Pie was still new to the job, having Twilight, Rachel and William being the ones usually handling the controls on Thomas.

Percy: (Sobbing) I'll shall have to keep going till my wheels wear out. Oh dear! Oh dear! I… Want… To.. Stop! I… Want… To… Stop!

Narrator: The man in the signalbox heard that Percy was in trouble.

Signalbox: Don't worry, I know just what you want little Percy.

Narrator: And so he kindly set the points. Percy puffed wearily on to nice empty siding ending in big bank of earth.

(Record scratch)

Pinkie Pie: Um… I think that's, dirt Mr. Narrator.

Narrator: Well, it's a scientifically proven that Earth is also another word that describes the land surface of our planet earth and… HEY! Who said you could tell the story.

Pinkie Pie: Uh… oopsie.

Narrator: Yes, now please could you get back into Percy's cab and the story

Pinkie Pie: Okie doki loki. (Jumps back into the 'Percy Running Away' page).

Narrator: Anyway, Percy was too tired to care where he went as Percy's bunker buried itself into the bank.

Percy: I want to stop! I want to stop!… Oh. I have stopped.

Pinkie Pie: Phew! I'm glad that's over with. You alright Percy?

Percy: Yeah. Just a little winded, but I'm glad we stopped. Thanks for asking Pinkie Pie.

Workmen: Nevermind little Percy. You shall have a drink and some coal and then you'll feel as right as rain.

Pinkie Pie: Oh and look who's here to save us.

Narrator: Presently, Gordon arrived. He had also left the coaches at the nearest station so that the passengers could get out.

Rachel: Percy. Oh thank goodness your okay.

Gordon: Well done Percy. Your started so quickly that you stopped a nasty accident.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah that's true Gordon. Who'd have thought that a little green shorty like you could do something like that.

Percy: I'm sorry I was cheeky earlier.

Rainbow Dash: No worries sport. We're just glad that you and Pinkie are all alright.

Gordon: Sorry for giving you a scare back there.

Pinkie Pie: Oh it's alright Gordon. We should have whistled to the signalman.

Percy: You were clever to stop.

Narrator: Then Pinkie Pie shuttered again.

Pinkie Pie: Hey! That was it! That's the doozey!

Percy: What do you mean Pinkie Pie?

Pinkie: Us running into Gordon, crashing into a pile of dir… um I mean Earth… and him helping us out. I never expected that to happen! That was the doozy! And, oh what doozy of doozy it was. La la la la la la.

Narrator: And Pinkie Pie trotted over to help Rainbow Dash and Rachel attach a cable to Gordon to get Percy out. Percy chuckled.

Percy: I may be new here and am just getting to know everyone, but I think I like Pinkie Pie already.

Narrator: And they all laughed. Then, Gordon helped Percy out of the bank. Percy and Gordon are now good friends. Percy is still cheeky because he is that kind of engine, but he is most careful when he goes on the main line.

Percy: Hey Pinkie. There's one more thing I'd like to know.

Pinkie Pie: What's that?

Percy: Who does live in that manor along Gordon's Hill?

Pinkie Pie: I haven't a single clue.

Narrator: And the two friends laughed and laughed.

Yeah, there was a random joke about the manor there. And we also see Pinkie Pie break into the Narrator's studio for the 1st time. She has done this in the letter segments before, but I love this a tiny bit more. Next up, Henry tries to overcome an illness. See you there.
