Author's Notes: Not much changed with this one, but I did add a slight edit in here.

Gordon's Whistle

Narrator: Nearly 5 months had passed since Henry's return from the crewe and everyone was happy to see him. All except Gordon and Rainbow Dash.

Gordon: Why should Henry have a new shape?! A shape good enough for me is good enough for him. He goes gallivanting off to crewe, leaving us to do his work, then comes back telling us how happy he feels. It's disgraceful!

Rainbow Dash: Not only that, he's been pulling the WildNorWester now too.

Gordon: And there's another thing. Henry whistles too much! No respectable engine ever whistles loudly in stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it.

Applejack: Oh put an apple it you 2. Henry had to have that rebuild at crewe in order to run properly. You should be more grateful that Jenry is back to help out with the work load.

Narrator: Poor Henry didn't feel happy anymore.

Percy: Never mind. I'm glad your home again, and I like your happy whistle.

Pinkie Pie: I like your happy whistle too Henry.

Henry: Oh thanks at least someone and somepony are happy to have me home.

Gordon: Goodbye Henry! We are glad to have you back, but remember what I said about whistling

Applejack: Don't pay any attention to them. They're just jealous, that's all

Henry: Your right. Well we'd better get our stopping train.

Narrator: Later that day, Henry, Rachel, and Applejack stopped by at Wellsworth where Edward Fluttershy and William were waiting.

Edward: Why Hullo Henry. You do look splendid. I was pleased to hear your happy whistle yesterday.

Fluttershy: So did I. I'm so glad that your feeling better then ever.

William: Indeed Fluttershy. We are glad to have you back. And Thomas, Simmors, James, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are too.

Henry: Why thank you Fluttershy, William, and everyone else as well.

Narrator: At that moment, they heard an ear piercing racket from the downline.

William: Shoosh! Guys do you hear that?

Narrator: Far away but getting louder and closer they heard an engine's whistle.

Rachel: Hmmm… If I'm not mistaken that whistle belongs to Gordon.

Edward: Your right Rachel. It's sounds like Gordon, and ought'a be Gordon, But I've never heard Gordon whistle like that.

Narrator: It was Gordon with Rainbow Dash driving him. He was thundering down the line at a tremendous pace and they didn't look at Henry, Rachel or Applejack, and they didn't look at Edward, William or Fluttershy. Gordon was purple in the boiler and whistling fit to burst whilst Rainbow Dash was covering her ears. He screamed loudly through Wellsworth and disappeared. Rachel had gotten ear plugs for her, William, Applejack and Fluttershy.

Edward: Well I must say. In all my years I've never heard a racket like that. Um… you can take those ear plugs out now.

Rachel: (Can't hear Edward properly) What?! There is rain coming now? We've got to get our umbrellas then.

Henry: No Rachel! Edward said 'you can take those ear plugs out now'!

Applejack: (Can't hear Henry properly) You see a cow? Where is it?

Guard: No Applejack. (Pretends to pull out ear plugs.)

William: Oh! We can take the ear plugs out now.

(The 2 ponies and the humans do so.)

Rachel: Heh, sorry you 2.

Edward: Yeah. Without hands, it's kind of hard to show what we mean.

Fluttershy: That's ok Edward.

Narrator: Applejack and Henry winked at each other and chuckled.

Applejack: Well Henry, It ain't wrong.

Henry: But we just don't do it.

Fluttershy: What do you mean by that?

Narrator: And so Applejack and Henry told Edward, Rachel, William and Fluttershy what Gordon and Rainbow Dash had said and they all laughed loudly. Meanwhile Gordon was still screeching along the line. People came out of their house's, air raid sirens rang out, five fire brigades were dispatched, shire horses upset their carts, and old ladies dropped their parcels. At Knapford station, the noise was awful. Porters and passengers held the ears, the fat controller held his ears too. He gave lots of orders but no one could hear him. Gordon went on whistling. The Fat Controller then climbed into the footplate and spoke to Rainbow Dash.

Fat Controller: ?

Rainbow Dash: What?! I can't hear you… Can you speak up?

Fat controller: ?

Rainbow Dash: Louder!

Fat controller : ?

Rainbow Dash: Louder!

Fat Controller: ?

Rainbow Dash: (At the top of her lungs) LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!

Fat controller: I SAID TAKE HIM AWAY AND STOP THAT NOSIE!

Narrator: Still whistling, Gordon puffed sadly away. He whistled as he crossed points, he was whistling when he reached the siding, and he was still whistling as the last deafened passenger left the station. At last, two fitters climbed up and knocked his whistle back into place. There was absolute beautiful silence. That evening, Gordon slunk into the sheds. He was glad it was empty, the engines arrived back later.

Henry: It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash went back to Knapford hotel and she was glad it was empty, but soon everyone came in and heard about the whole thing from Rachel.

Rachel: Hullo Rainbow Dash, I saw you and Gordon were quite musical.

William: But take our tip. Teach Gordon to stay in tune.

Applejack: Or maybe give him organ pipes.

Rainbow dash: Ha ha ha… Very funny guys.

Narrator: No one from the sheds or from the hotel mentioned whistles.

So, what did you think? Next up is a story that should have been in a book about Percy. I honestly don't know why it was thrown in here, but whatever.
