One day,Thomas and Twilight were taking Annie and Clarabel down their branch line.

“Good morning!”Thomas called to some cows.But,The cows didn’t reply.

“Don’t worry.”Said Twilight.”They’re just eating grass for breakfast.”Later,They met Bertie and Cheerilee heading for Wellsworth station.

“Hey,Bertie!Hey,Cheerilee!”Thomas called.Suddenly,Bertie hit a pothole in the road.

“Ouch!Thats another hole in the road!”Groaned Bertie.

“That’s the third hole,This day.“Replied Cheerilee.

“What’s wrong?”Twilight asked.

“Our road has holes in them and we can’t find the tar we need to fix it.”Said Cheerilee.

“Don’t worry.”Sid Thomas.”We can find that tar for you.You can trust us.”And he and Twilight left to the shunting yard.There,James and Rarity were angrily shunting trucks.

“This is simply no fair!No fair at all!”Growled Rarity.

“You can say that again!”Replied James.”Duck and Trixie work at the docks and we shunt in the yards here,There,And everywhere!”Later,They met Gordon and Rainbow Dash.

“I suppose you’re having truck trouble.”Said Rainbow Dash.

“If I were you,I’d pretend to be sick and won’t do any work.”Said Gordon.

“Sounds like a plan.”Sais James.He stated pretending as Thomas and Twilight arrived.

“What’s with him?”Thomas asked.

“He’s sick.”Said Rarity.”Could you please help us?”

“Sure.”Said Thomas as he coupled to some of James’ trucks and set off to the quarry.The trucks were cross.

“If we can’t yeah James and Rarity a lesson for bumping us,We’ll play ticks on Thomas and Twilight instead.”They grunted.Thomas and Twilight collected the stone and ate off to the docks.When they eased a set of points,The trucks surged forward.”On!On!On!”They pushed Thomas onto the wrong track and into a siding.

“Look out!”Cried Twilight as she applied the brakes.But,It was too late!Thomas smashed through the buffers and splashed into a muddy pond.A toad eyed them suspiciously.

“Bust my buffers!”Huffed Thomas crossly.”James and Rarity tricked us!”Later,Duck and Trixie took the trucks away as Edward and Applejack took Thomas and Twilight back to the yard on a flatbed.When they arrived,James and Rarity spoke to them.

“Twilight,Thomas,We are terribly sorry about your accident.”Said Rarity sadly.Just then,Sir Tophom Hatt arrived.

“You should be.”He said crossly.”You have caused confusion and delay!You will shunt trucks in the yards until I can trust you again.”

“Gordon and Rainbow Dash gave me the idea to pretend to be sick.”Said James.But,They noticed Gordon and Rainbow Dash we’re gone.”Hey!Where is Gordon?”

“And Wheres Rainbow Dash?”Rarity asked.Unknown to the,Gordon and Rainbow Dash had left the yard before Sir Tophom Hatt arrived.

“Now,If only we can find the missing tar to fix Bertie’s road.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.Suddenly,As James started shunting trucks again,There was the missing tanker in a siding.

“There it is!”Cried Thomas excited.”James shunted so many trucks,We didn’t see it when we arrived.”

“We’ll make sure that tar gets to Bertie and Cheerilee.”Said Edward.”They’ll be very happy.”

“Guess days start with surprises,Too.”Said Twilight.She and Thomas were happy.So was the toad hoping for a ride home.
