Author's notes: Ok, this story has a bit of a different feel to it. It's more about the drivers and ponies then the engines.

Gordon, Rainbow Dash And The Skyer.

Narrator: One summer day in 1921, Rachel and William were playing Cricket in William's backyard.

Wiliam: Alright, ready Rachel?

Rachel: Give me your best shot.

Narrator: William threw the ball and Rachel successfully nailed it, scoring a century.

William: Wow. Nice century there. You win Rachel. (Wipes his brow) Whew, what a game. How bout some cool lemonade?

Narrator: Rachel smiled.

Rachel: Ah, the perfect drink on a hot day such as this.

Narrator: The two friends soon sat down and had nearly finished when Rainbow Dash flew in.

Rainbow Dash: Heya guys. Oooh! Lemonade. Mind if I have some?

Rachel: No not at all. Help yourself Rainbow Dash. It's a family recipe.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash took a sip and immediately loved it.

Rainbow Dash: Wow! This is so awesome.

Narrator: Rachel smiled.

Rachel: I'm glad you like it.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash then noticed the cricket gear.

Rainbow Dash: Now what's all that for?

William: It's our Cricket gear.

Rainbow: (Confused) Huh? Why do need such big stuff for a little bug?

Narrator: William laughed.

William: No. Cricket is a type English sport. Would you like to play?

Rainbow Dash: Ah yeah. Sports are my specialty.

Narrator: So after laying down the rules and how to play, William played as bowler as Rainbow Dash was the batter. Rachel was a fielder.

William: Ready Rainbow Dash? Give me everything you got!

Rainbow Dash: You know it.

Narrator: William through the ball and Rainbow Dash gave a mighty swing, but the ball accidentally went straight instead of up. Then, the ball hit poor William right in the eye.

William: (As he falls backwards.) UGH! OW! Oh my gosh.

Narrator: Rachel and Rainbow Dash ran over to see if was alright.

Rainbow Dash: Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry.

Rachel: Oh my! Are you alrigh…

Narrator: They got no further as William picked himself up revealing a black eye. Rachel and Rainbow Dash stared. Rainbow Dash tried hard not to laugh but failed miserably. And eventually, Rachel caught her laugh and the two of them had a laugh riot as tears of laughter streamed from their eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Oh Will, this is just too funny. You should see the look on your face.

Rachel: You can say that again Rainbow.

Narrator: Rachel pulled out a mirror to show William his black eye.

William: Oh good grief, not a black eye. Oh! This just had to happen, didn't it?

Narrator: Rachel could help but feel a little sorry for him.

Rachel: Hey Will, I'm sorry I laughed. It just looked so funny. You reminded me of Charlie Chaplin. (To self) Hmm, I wonder how he's doing in America? (Outloud) Anyway, come Will, let's put some ice on that eye.

Will: Thanks Rachel, oooh… blimey that really hurt, I just hope I this doesn't become a joke at yards.

Narrator: Although he tried to cover it up with eye patch, it didn't work entirely. The following day, he arrived to work and to his dismay everyone, everyengine and everypony was there.

Twilight: Good morning Willam…. Oh dear, what happened to you, here let me check it out.

William: Uh, no thank you. It's fine, I….

Narrator: But before he could stop her, Twilight levitated the patch off his eye revealing his black eye.

Fluttershy: Oh my. What happened to your eye.

William: (Sigh) I was playing cricket when I got hit the eye by the cricket ball by accident.

Narrator: Everypony and engine barring Edward and Fluttershy all stared and then began to laugh. Fluttershy was still greatful for William for letting someone else take her place on 98462 and Edward knew better then to start laughing. Twilight and Applejack felt sorry for him and tried hard not to laugh, but Gordon, Henry, Simmons, Thomas, 98462, 87546, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie didn't even made effort while William just rolled his eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Oh I bet next time before you play, you might want to stretch your eye muscles, hahahahaha! Get it? Eye muscles?

Rarity: Hahahahahaha! Too rich! Hahahahahahaha!

Pinkie Pie: Hahahahahahaha! You know you look like a cute little panda bear.

William: (Sarcastic) AHA! AHAHA! You're all as funny as Arthur Askey…. Sheesh.

Narrator: The teasing went on and on until Edward told them to stop.

Edward: Come on boys and girls, just leave the poor man alone. Can't you all see he's had a rough day.

Applejack: Sorry bout that Will, me and Twi didn't mean too….

William: Say no more, at least you tried not to laugh.

Narrator: To add more insult to injury, Gordon laughed too as William, Rainbow Dash and Rachel took him to pull the Wild Nor Wester.

Gordon: Hit by a skyer did you young William? HAHAHA! What a Lark!

William: (Groan) Oh just put a piece of coal will ya Gordon!

Rachel: Oh Gordon, quit making things worse and leave William alone!

Narrator: William seethed angrily, but was grateful for Rachel standing up for him. The guard gave the all clear and they started off sharply. They were making good time, the coaches ran nicely, still Rainbow Dash and Gordon would stop teasing William, and every minute he grew more and more frustrated.

Rachel: Just ignore them William. They will get their comeuppance.

William: (Sighs) I suppose your right Rach.

Narrator: All railways have special area where road vehicles can use to crossover to another section safely. There are gates on each side that can be closed by switch in a signal box to ensure that Automobile driver will be able to cross over the railway safely and then it is opened so that trains can cross over. This is a called a level crossing. At Maron, the Fat Director was feeling flustered his brand new blue rolls Royce 1921. It was having teething troubles.

Fat Director: Oh botheration! I thought that these new fangled rolls Royce were the more superior automobiles in the world.

Narrator: As he was crossing over the level crossing, the car's exhaust pipe made aloud bang as it backfired, the motor spluttered, and stopped with the radiator steaming.

Fat Director: Oh bother! That's the last time I buy a rolls Royce.

Narrator: He had just gotten out and had just told a brand new signalman what had happened. They went to push the car, but unluckily for them, the new signalman forgot to switch the signal to danger. Meanwhile, Gordon was thundering along the rails with time spare, whilst unfortunately Rainbow Dash was still teasing William.

William: You know the way play cricket, they should call you "Rainbow Danger Prone".

Rainbow dash: What was that!?

William: Oh nothing at all except that (sneezing insult) Ah..AH…AH you suck at play cricket!

Narrator: Now Rainbow Dash got cross.

William: Ha! Now, we're even…

Rainbow Dash: Oh mighty big words for a bowler who thinks he's a duck target!

William: Okay I've heard a lot of bad insults in my day but this just takes the cake.

Narrator: The two of them were so busy insulting each other, they failed to notice the danger lying ahead but Gordon and Rachel did.

Gordon: Uh Guys…

Rainbow Dash: Why, the way you play cricket, you couldn't even make an entry into the iron pony contest!

Rachel: Uh guys…. (Tries to figure out the controls on her own, but doesn't know too much at this stage.) William, do you know which control is the break?

William: Well for crying out loud! At least I can play cricket without injuring anyone.

Rainbow Dash: OH YOU WANT TO DO THIS THE HARD WAY?! WILL DO THIS THE HARD WAY!

Narrator: They soon approached the level crossing, and to Gordon and Rachel's horror they saw the Fat Director and his new car broken on the crossing.

Gordon/Rachel: GUYS!

Rainbow Dash/William: WHAT!

Gordon/Rachel: STOP! THERE'S A CAR ON THE CROSSING!

Rainbow Dash and William: HUH?!

(Both looked out the cab windows.)

Rainbow Dash: (In alarm) SSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOPPPPPPPP!

William: HORRORS! BRAKE! BBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEE!

Narrator: William blasted Gordon's whistle desperately! He pulled the reverser hard over full steam, and brakes hard on. But the train was too heavy and they were going much to fast to avoid disaster. They hit the car with a loud crash! Luckily, no one was hurt and Gordon was still on the rails and Gordon was not damaged. But the car sailed into their and landed into field, the crossing gate was damaged. William put detonators along the line to protect the train, and then he, Rainbow Dash and Rachel went to inspect the damage.

Rainbow Dash: Oh my goodness! Do you think he was in there?

Rachel: Uh, Dash...

The Fat Director: Ahem!

William: Does that answer your question?

The Fat Director: I will talk with you later.

Narrator: The Fat Director turned on his heel and climbed into the train.

William: Oh good grief. We are in trouble now.

Narrator: When they reached the end of the line, The Fat Director spoke severely to them.

Fat Director: My railway is not cricket field. I am very disappointed in all of you…

Narrator: The three friends looked ashamed, but then Gordon spoke up.

Gordon: Sir, it was not their fault as we came into maron. The signal was down as we approached so we couldn't have known that the line was blocked sir. We are sorry for the damage the to car, but I must say that the accident is not Rainbow Dash's fault nor is it Williams' or Rachel's. Plus, Rachel is still only just learning about how to operate us and forgot which controls to use to stop me, and she was trying to stop the arguing, sir.

Narrator: The Fat Director Stared.

Fat Director: Oh I see. Well then, with this evidence I am going to let you off the hook for this... um... skyer. But just let me just remind you to be a little more careful next time in future.

Rainbow Dash, William and Rachel: Yes Sir we understand Sir.

Fat Director: Good now let's get this train home.

Narrator: At the end of the day, Rainbow Dash and William soon made up for their quarrel.

Rainbow Dash: I'm sorry hit you in the eye in that game cricket and I'm sorry I teased you about your black eye, it was very uncool of me. Just for the record though, I didn't mean to hit you the eye, you do realize that don't you.

Narrator: William smiled.

William: Of course Rainbow Dash, and I'm sorry I was rude to you too. I'm just glad we can be friends again.

Rainbow Dash: Heheheh: I'll second to that.

Narrator: And in no time the two of them were laughing like old friends as they both drank their tea. Rachel smiled happily and drank her tea too.

Yeah. I updated the one on DA by getting me into the story a bit more. What did you think?
