It’s was a beautiful morning at the docks and all the engines and ponies were working hard pushing and pulling trucks.One day,Percy and Spike were late.Cranky the crane was cross.

“These ships can’t be kept waiting.They have important cargo.If they miss the tides,They will be delayed in the docks!You should look up to the ships and show more respect!”

“It’s not our fault!”Called Spike.

“It’s just that we’ve got too much work to do!”Called Percy.

“Then,Perhaps a lorry will do the extra work.”Cranky thought.Percy and Spike were shocked and they left.”Ugh...Was it something I said?”Later at the sheds,They told the others what Cranky had said.

“Stuff and nonsense!”Snorted James.

“No way we would be replaced by a horrid lorry!”Replied Rarity.

“We engines run this island.”Sniffed Henry.

“Ponies,Too.”Said Fluttershy.

“What is a lorry does arrive?”Said Spike in his head.Tomarrow,It did along with two more.

“Hey,Percy!I think those trucks of coal are too heavy.Let the lorries take some.”Called Cranky from above.”And I think one of them wants to talk to you.”The first lorry spoke rudely to Percy.

“What’s that hump of steaming scrap iron?”He asked.

“Scrap iron?Steaming scrap iron!?”Scolded Spike.Percy puffed away in a huff.Later,The second lorry teased Twilight,Thomas,Rarity,And James.Then,He saw Percy and Spike.

“Oh!look.Its a purple goblin in a green goblin on wheels!”He teased.”You’ll be scraped.Just you wait and see.”And he left filling the air with black exhaust smoke.The engines and ponies were covered in it.

“Bust my buffers!”Cried Thomas.

“What a horrid lorry.”Groaned Twilight.

“Disgusting!”Grunted Rarity.

“Despicable!”Agreed James.When Rosie,Pinkie Pie,Stepney,And Flitter arrived at the bakery,They found the second lorry doing their work.

“What do you think you’re doing!?”Demanded Pinkie.

“Sorry.I got here fist.So,Back off!”Groaned the lorry.

“Well next time,We be here before you!”Replied Rosie as she puffed away.The next engines to meet a lorry was Edward and Toby along with Applejack.This time,It was the first lorry.

“Well well well.No wonder this railway is a mess.”The lorry teased Edward and Toby.”You two belong in a museum.Not working in a quarry.”

“We may look old.But,We’re useful.”Said Edward.

“Useful?Ha!Just toddle.”Laughed the lorry.

“Toddle!?”Spluttered Toby.

“Now,Calm down,You two.This is no time to argue.”Said Applejack.When Henry and Fluttershy arrived at the docks to collect the flying kipper,There was the third lorry taking the fish.

“Guess the flying kipper is now the rolling kipper.Rollin on me.”He said and he left.

“These lorries annoy me to no end!”Growled Fluttershy.

“That goes double for me.”Agreed Henry.Gordon and Rainbow Dash were cross,Too.

“What nonsense!”Snorted Gordon.

“Yeah!Even though they don’t take passengers,They tease us,Too!”Said Rainbow Dash.Sir Tophom Hatt spoke to Spike and Percy.

“Sorry.I hate to say it.But,One of the lorries are taking the mail.”Percy was sad.

“Don’t worry.We’ll go to the mills.”Said Spike.But they arrived,Spike and Percy were shocked to see the second lorry taking the flour.

“What are you doing here?”Spike asked.

“We six are doing your work,Now.You’re too slow!”Grumbled the lorry.

“I hate those lorries more than the troublesome trucks!”Growled Spike.He and Percy were cross and worried as they left.

“Where ever we go,There are lorries!”Said Percy worried.But when they arrived at the quarry,Spike and Percy didn’t see a lorry.

“Ha!Maybe the lorry is late.”Laughed Spike.Percy backed up to their trucks of rocks and stone and they set off to the docks.The quickest way to the docks was through a narrow gorge.Road veichles had to tackle a steep and dangerous road.When Spike and Percy arrived,They saw the first lorry again.It was loaded with rock and was out of control.

“That lorry is in trouble!”Gasped Spike.The lorry hit a curve too fast and slid down the hill.He was getting bumped and bounced until he stopped on the tracks.

“Phew!”Said the lorry.But,Percy didn’t stop in time.

“Watch out,Lorry!We can’t stop!”Cried Percy.He smashed into the lorry and came off the tracks.Rocks and stone flew everywhere.Luckily,No one was hurt.But,The lorry was in pieces.

“Rotten roads.”He muttered.Soon,The wrecked lorry was taken to the docks to be loaded onto a ship.Percy and Spike looked at the lorry.

“Who’s the hump of steaming scrap iron,Now?”Spike asked.

“I’ll be back!”Replied the lorry.“So,You can wipe that silly smile off your smoke box.

“Ha!”Laughed Percy as he whether him loudly.Then,Rosie,Pinkie,Stepney,And Flitter arrived with the second lorry on a flatbed.

“What happened?”Spike asked.

“He was overloaded with flour and cake and he broke down.”Said Rosie.

“Not very useful ,Now.Are you?”Laughed Pinkie.The lorries grumbled angrily.Then,James whistled happily.

“They’re bringing in the the third lorry on a barge!”He Laughed.

“What happened to that one?”Rarity asked Henry and Fluttershy.

“Stupid lorry was reversing and fell straight into the sea.”Said Henry.Later,Thomas and Twilight arrived.They look3d at the three lorries and Laughed.

“Well well well!The brothers grim!”Laughed Twilight.

“Smashed,Broken,And sunk!”Replied Thomas.The lorries never returned and the engines and ponies worked har making sure they will be really useful.
