Thomas and Twilight love going down their branch line.One day,They stopped at a station where some children were waiting.

“They’ve closed our playground.”Said one of the kids.

“Teacher says the sand was too dirty to play in.”Grumbled a second.”Can you help us?”

“We’ll see what we can do.”Said Twilight as she and Thomas went for the school.When they arrived,They saw a sign reading ‘Playground closed until further notice.’

“The children were right.”Said Thomas sadly.That evening,Thomas and Twilight returned to the sheds and were just about to tell the others when James and Rarity rushed in.

“Harold is taking an inspector across the island instead of using us.”Said Rarity.

“Despicable!”Snorted Henry.

“That’s horrible!”Gasped Fluttershy.

“Disgraceful!”Grunted Gordon.

“Unbelievable!”Said Rainbow Dash.

“We are more important than helicopters.”Said Percy.The next day,The first two to meet Harold was Gordon and Rainbow Dash.

“I know Harold is taking the inspector instead of us taking him.”Said Rainbow Dash.”But,I’m not mad about Spitfire.”

“Ha!We’ll show them how fast I can go!”Laughed Gordon.Next,It was Henry and Fluttershy’s turn.

“Harold thinks he’s important.”Said Henry.”But,He isn’t.”

“I think you’re right.”Replied Fluttershy.”He can’t fly through tunnels.”Henry puffed into a tunnel as Harold and Spitfire flew above it.Then,It was Percy and Spike who met Harold and Spitfire hovering above a field of sheep.Then,They flew away.

“I get it,Now.”Said Spike.”They’re counting sheep.”And they set off to stop the rumors.At the sheds,The engines and ponies were all talking about Harold.

“Harold wants to get rid of us.”Grunted Gordon.

“No way!No how!”Said Rainbow Dash angrily.“Still,I’m not mad about Spitfire.”

“He doesn’t need tunnels.”Said Fluttershy.

“Don’t worry.”Said Percy.”He and Spitfire are counting sheep.”

“Ha!Hes counting how many engine he can get rid of.”Grunted Gordon.Thomas,Twilight,Percy,And Spike know they weren’t gonna be replaced.Thomas and Twilight wanted to help the kids.But,Solving the mystery of Harold and the inspector comes first.The next day,Gordon and Rainbow Dash were going to collect the express when they saw Harold and Spitfire flying above them.

“We’ll show that whirly bird how fast I can go.”Said Rainbow Dash.Gordon agreed and started to speed up.But,They were so carried away with Harold and Spitfire,They didn’t know they went onto the wrong track.Gordon and Rainbow Dash we’re traveling to trouble.Ahead was a small tunnel under repair.

“Oh no!”Cried Gordon.Rainbow Dash applied the brakes.But,It was stop late!Gordon knocked away the poles that were holding the ceiling up.Then,There was a huge rumbling noise.

“Uh oh.”Moaned Rainbow Dash as the ceiling of the tunnel collapsed on top of them.Luckily,No one was hurt.Thomas and Twilight arrived with the breakdown train and Sir Topham Hatt.He was very cross.

“Gordon and Rainbow Dash,You shouldn’t have chased Harold.”He said sternly.

“Sorry,Sir.”Said Rainbow Dash.

“Sir,We need to tel you something.”Said Twilight.

“And what is it?”Sir Tophom Hatt asked.Twilight and Thomas decided to pluck up courage.

“James and Rarity told us that Harold would replace us engines.”Said Thomas.”But,We know he wouldn’t do that.”

“You are correct.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.”James and Rarity thought wrong.As I said before,You shouldn’t listen to rumors.Also,This gentleman is going to help what suits best for the school playground.“

“It was easy to see better from the air.”Said Spitfire.

“This tunnel sand is perfect for the playground.”Said the inspector.

“Found by accident and rumor!”Laughed Thomas.Back at the sheds,Sir Tophom Hatt spoke sternly to James and Rarity.

“Your misunderstandings have caused confusion and delay!You will work in the yards until I can trust you again.”

“Yes,Sir.Sorry,Sir.”Said Rarity sadly.Sir Tophom Hatt still uses Harold and Spitfire to keep a birds eye view on Sodor.The engines and ponies now know harolds not spying on them.He and Spitfire are just being really useful.
