One morning,Twilight was giving Thomas a good wash down when Gordon and Rainbow Dash arrived.The big blue engine was covered in mud.

“Hello,Gordon and Rainbow Dash.”Said Thomas.”It looks like you had a mud bath.”

“Be sensible and have a wash down instead.”Replied Twilight.

“We don’t have time for a wash down when our passengers are waiting for the express.”Said Gordon.

“Let’s move it,Big G.”Said Rainbow Dash.They set off to Knapford station.Gordon splashed through mud puddles spraying mud all over Rainbow Dash.

“Slow down,Gordon!”Called Rainbow Dash.”Your spraying mud on me!”This made Gordon very cross.

“Now,We’ll be dirty and late!”He grumbled.

“Actually,We will be late because we need a wash down.”Said Rainbow Dash pointing at a wash down up ahead.When they arrived,They saw a sign reading ‘All trains must get washed when needed’.Rarity was washing James with a sponge and squeezed the muddy water into a bucket.Soon,James was all clean.

“There you go,Jamesy.”Said Rarity.”Your paintwork is all clean.”James beamed with pride.

“Come on,Big G.Its your turn now.”Said Rainbow Dash.Just then,Henry and Fluttershy puffed by with troublesome trucks.They saw Gordon and Rainbow covered in mud and they laughed.

“Gordon the mud engine!Gordon the mud engine!”They sang.This made Gordon and Rainbow Dash really cross.

“Soaked!?We’ll show you who’s soaked!!!”Scolded Rainbow Dash picking up a bucket.But,She didn’t knew it was the bucket full of muddy water.Gordon then noticed it and gasped.

“Rainbow,Don’t use the...”But,Before he can say anything else,Rainbow Dash threw the bucket.It missed the troublesome trucks and spattered all over James and Rarity.They were very cross.

“What do you have to say for yourself?”Rarity asked angrily.

“Whoops.”Said Rainbow Dash.

“Now,James will need another bath which includes me.”Moaned Rarity.Rainbow dash looked at the clock and gasped.

“Gordon,We’re already late!”She gasped.She flew into Gordon’s cab and sped off to Knapford.

“Like I said.Dirty and late!”Replied Gordon.Finally,They arrived at Knapford station.Sir Tophom Hatt was waiting.So we’re the coaches and passengers.

“Goodness gracious!“Gasped Sir Tophom Hatt.”Gordon and Rainbow Dash,You can’t pull the express like that.Henry and Fluttershy will do it.”

“But,What about us?”Gordon asked.

“You and Rainbow Dash need to get cleaned.Then,You will do Henry’s jobs until he’s done pulling the express.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.

“Is it or he’s or tucks?”Gordon asked again.

“Hate to break it to you.But,It’s trucks.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.Gordon was furious!As Henry and Fluttershy left with the express,Rainbow Dash was giving Gordon a wash down.She then washed the mud off Gordon’s face.

“Mind my eyes!”He grumbled.

“Oh!Sorry.”Said Rainbow Dash washing the soap off with water.Then,They went to work pulling Henry’s goods trains.

“Freight trains!Frieght trains!”Grumbled Gordon.Soon,He was shunting trucks in the yard.”Thats for you and you and you!”He yelled bumping three troublesome trucks.

“Trucks will he trucks.”Laughed James.

“Ha!They won’t with us!”Replied Rainbow Dash as she and Gordon sped off.Next,James and Rarity we’re ready to take passengers as Gordon and Rainbow Dash arrived.

“Be careful.”Warned Gordon.”The hill might be slippery.”

“He’s right.”Said Rainbow Dash.”Leaves might be blown onto the tracks.Your wheels won’t grip on them.”But,James and Rarity ignored them.

“I’m sure me and Jamesy can get through this.”Said Rarity.

“We don’t need any help on hills.”Replied James and they set off.They didn’t know Gordon and Rainbow Dash we’re right.The wind had blown mud and leaves onto the tracks.As soon as they approached Gordon’s Hill,They started to go faster.

“We can do it!We must do it!”Called Rarity.James gripped hard.But,His wheels slipped onto the leaves.

“We’re not doing it!”Whistled James.He pulled as hard as he could.But,The heavy coaches pulled him backwards down the hill.They came to a stop at the bottom.Gordon and Rainbow Dash were there waiting at a signal pulling a goods train.They saw everything and laughed.

“Well well we’ll!”Laughed Rainbow Dash.”Guess you cant do it after all.”

“Ah well.We live and learn.”Said Gordon.”Never mind.We’ll push from behind.”Gordon buffered behind the coaches and they started to climb the hill again.

“We can do it!We can do it!”Huffed James pulling hard.

“We will do it!We will do it!”Puffed Gordon pushing harder.At last,They reached the top and James and Rarity sped down the hill.

“Thanks,Gordon!”Called James.

“Thanks,Rainbow Dash!”Called Rarity.

“Your welcome!”Called Gordon and Rainbow Dash back.That night,Sir Tophom Hatt came to see Gordon and Rainbow Dash at the sheds.

“Well done,You two.”He said with pride.”You helped James and Rarity and avoided confusion and delay.Being clean is sensual to all engines.”

“No prob.”Said Rainbow Dash.”Sorry about the mud at the wash down,Rarity.”

“Apology accepted.”Said Rarity.

“Dirty or clean,I’m a famous machine.”Said Gordon.

“So is everyone else.”Replied Rainbow Dash.
