Twilight,Thomas,Spike,And Percy love working at the docks.They love the fresh air of the sea.But one day,A crane was causing trouble.His name is Cranky and this was his first time at the docks.

“You’re useless little bugs!”He called from above.”If you put these freight cars on the inside lines,I wouldn’t have far to travel.”

“Take it easy up there!”Called Thomas.

“Yeah!No crane has complained this annoying.”Replied Twilight.

“Well,I’m complaining,Now!”Grunted Cranky as he banged his load on the key side.The engines and ponies were shocked.Later,They told Rainbow Dash,Gordon,Rarity,And James all about Cranky.

“Cranes are very ferry towers.”Said Rainbow Dash.

“They needs proper attention like me,Perhaps.”Said Gordon.

“You should see the point of danger from Cranky’s view.”Said Rarity.

“He’s high up in the air with the coping wind and baking sun.Then,He looks down and see you all annoying.”Teased James.”No wonder he calls you bugs.”Rarity was cross.

“Spike is not a bug!”She scolded.

“Just saying why Cranky was teasing them.”Said James.When Cranky overheard the big engines,He grew bossier still and came up with a plan when Percy and Spike arrived to pick up a load of sugar.

“Ugh...Push those trucks a little closer.”He said.So,Percy did.“A little more.”Percy and Spike were so cross about Cranky bossing them,They pushed the trucks too far.

“Like this?”Spike asked.

“Perfect.”Said Cranky as he released his cable crashing the sugar all over Percy and Spike.”Oops.”Then,He played a trick on Thomas and Twilight who were gonna collect oil drums.”Maybe it’ll be best if you shunt your trucks on the other track.Its easier for my crane arm to reach.”So,Thomas did.But,Thomas and Twilight were so cross about Cranky,They pushed their trucks on a track too far.The oil drums smashed beside the trucks splashing oil all over Thomas and Twilight.That afternoon,Sir Tophom Hatt arrived.He was concerned.

“These delays weren’t your fault.”He said.

“You’re right.That big meany got us covered in super and oil!”Groaned Twilight.

“I suppose you should stay in the sheds until I can get to the bottom of this.”Said Sir Tophom Hat.

“Yes,Sir.”They said as they went back to the sheds.Later,They were having a complication about Cranky.

“I can’t believe Cranky did all this.”Moaned Spike washing the sugar off his tail.

“No kidding.”Replied Percy.

“If only we can prove it was Cranky.”Said Twilight.Their chance came sooner than expected.That night,A big storm blew across the island.The other engines and ponies didn’t had enough time to leave the docks.So,They had to stay in an old shed.

“I’m scared!”Whimpered Fluttershy.

“Don’t worry.”Said Henry.”This storm will be over soon and we’ll be safe in this shed.”But,Henry was wrong.No one realized they were about to be in great danger by an old steam ship.Its propeller had been damaged by the rough waters.With no control,The ship was steered towards the docks by the waves.It ran a ground straight into the sheds.Everyone was scared.

“Lets get out of here!”Cried Stepney.But,It was too late!The ship tore down the sheds and rammed Cranky causing him to tip over.

“Hey!Hey!Hey!Whoooooaaa!”He screamed.He crashed onto a warehouse causing it to collapse.It was a terrible mess.

“HELP!!!”Cried the engine and ponies from the sheds.

“Sorry.But,I can’t.”Groaned Cranky.When the storm ended,Sir Tophom Hatt arrived at the scene of disaster.

“Twilight,Thomas,Spike,And Percy will help you and then,You can help the engines and ponies.”He said to Cranky.

“Please,Sir!Tell them that I’m sorry for being rude to them,Yesterday!!”Wailed Cranky.But,He stopped revealing what he did.Sir Tophom Hatt was very cross.

“So,It was you who was causing confusion and delay,Yesterday!I’m very disappointed with you!”He scolded.The two engines arrived with Twilight and Spike.

“I guess that taught you a lesson you’ll never forget.”Said Spike.Thomas and Percy were attached to chains and they pulled Cranky back up.Soon,Cranky was working hard cleaning the mess.He started by rescuing the others.

“Thanks,Cranky.”Called Gordon.

“What couldn’t we do without you?”Rainbow Dash asked.

“Oh,It’s nothing because being rescued by some little bu..bu..bu...”He was about to say bugs.But,He quickly corrected himself.”Small engines.”Spike and Percy were cross still.

“He’s back to bugging us!!!”Scolded Spike as he reversed Percy.

“Don’t move!”Cried Twilight.

“You’re still attached to Cranky!”Cried Thomas.But,It was too late.Crank fell on his side again.

“Not again.”He moaned.Soon,He was back on his legs.Ever since the storm,He never called the little engines,Twilight,And Spike bugs,Again.
