On the island of Sodor,Every engine has their pony partner.Rainbow dash has Gordon who pulls the express,Fluttershy has Henry who pulls the flying kipper,Rarity has James who pulls both coaches and trucks,Pinkie has Rosie who pulls party trains,Applejack has Edward who works in the shunting yard,Spike has Percy who pulls the mail train,And Twilight has Thomas with Annie and Clarabel.All the ponies have an engine except the young 6 and cmc.They were feeling left out at the shed.

“I wonder what engines will we get.”Said Gallus.

“Who knows?”Said Ocellus.

“It’s not fair that we don’t get an engine!”Scolded Smolder.

“Now calm down,Smolder!”Said Sandbar.”Sir Tophom Hatt says there will be new engine tomorrow.”And he was right.When they arrived on Thomas and Percy,They gasped.Their engines were little engines on narrow tracks.”Who are you?”Sandbar asked.

“These are the narrow gauge engines.”Sir Tophom Hatt introduced.”Everyone,Introduce yourselves.”

“I’m Skarloey.”Said the little dark red engine with the number 1.

“Name’s Rheneas.”Said the red/orange engine with the number 2.

“My name is Sir Handle.”Said the little blue engine with the number 3.

“Peter Sam.”Said the little green engine with the number 4.

“Rusty.”Said the little orange diesel with the number 5.

“And I’m Duncan.”Said the little yellow engine with the number 6.

“Young 6,Pick your partners.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.The young 6 looked at their new friends.

“Since you’re number one like Thomas,Then I choose you.”Said Sandbar.

“Small engines are so cute!”Squealed Silverstream.”I’ll be with you,Rheneas.”

“I guess you’re with me,Sir Handle.”Said Gallus.

“I think it’s okay for me to be with you.”Ocellus said to Peter Sam.

“You will be the perfect partner for me.”Said Smolder to Rusty.

“Then that means Yona with Duncan.”Said Yona happily.But,The young 6 didn’t knew if they were strong or not.Their first job is to shunt freight cars at the narrow gauge quarry.The young 6 noticed the empty trucks.

“There are even troublesome trucks on a narrow gauge railway?”Sandbar gasped.

“Of course.”Said Skarloey.

“What’s up there?”Smolders asked pointing at the top.

“Let’s see.”Said Ocellus flying to the top followed by Smolder,Silverstream,And Gallus.Sandbar then noticed the empty trucks connected to a cable from the top of the hill.

“Wonder where this goes.”Said Sandbar.He trotted in front of the trucks to get a closer look at the cable.Suddenly with a pull of the cable,Sandbar fell in and was pulled up by the empty trucks.”What’s going on!?”He gasped.He saw that the trucks were being pulled up by a winch from the top.Yona was surprised.

“Yona help save you!”She called as she jumped into the back truck.She was so heavy,The ride took longer to get to the top.The winch creeked.At last,They reached the top.Sandbar and Yona climbed out and met the rest at the top.

“What took ya so long?”Smolders asked.

“We kinda had a little junk in the truck.”Said Sandbar.He spotted the walls.They were square shaped and looked like wooden plates stacked up.He tried to climb.But,He slipped and fell to the ground.Then,Some flat bricks went loose and smashed to the ground.Dust flew everywhere.It covered the young 6.

“What it this stuff?”Coughed Gallus.They saw workman drill the bricks off the walls with a jackhammer.Then,They loaded them in the trucks Sandbar and Yona road in.Sandbar and Yona held on tight as they were hoisted back down the hill while Gallus,Smolder,Silverstream,And Ocellus flew down.Sandbar was becoming jealous.

“Why are me and Yona the only ones who can’t fly!?”He screamed.Later,Skarloey told them about the bricks.

“It’s slate.”He said.”We deliver them from the quarry to the people who need it.It can be either used as electrical insulater or firewood.”

“I see.”Said Sandbar.Soon,The narrow gauge engines and young 6 started mining slate from the incline and delivering them to the people of the village.They were pleased.Next,The engines were pulling some coaches with passengers.

“So,You pull coaches on the narrow gauge railway,Too.”Said Silverstream.

“That’s right.Its too bad Smolder and Rusty can’t pull coaches.”Replied Rheneas.He was right.Smolder was fuming working in the yard with rusty.

“It’s not fair!”She scolded.That night,The engines were resting in the shed.

“Amazing!This was our first day with out new partners!”Squealed Silverstream.

“You’re telling me.”Replied Gallus.

“It was dusty.But,We got it done.”Said Ocellus.

“Yona and Duncan get jobs done dusty or not.”Said Yona shaking off slate dust from her hair.Sandbar was still concerned about the narrow gauge engines.

“Are the narrow gauge engines really that strong?”He asked in his head.The next day,They were back to collect the slate at the incline.They were waiting for the loaded trucks to be hoisted down.But,As they began,They heard a creeping sound.

“What was that noise?”Gallus asked.

“Yona didn’t hear any.”Said Yona.Then,They heard it again.The winch groaned.

“Break it!Snap it!”The trucks giggled.And it did.The trucks slit down the hill.

“Stop!”Cried Sandbar.”It’s a...”The trucks smashed through wooden pole knocking over a water channel.”Water mane.”Moaned Sandbar.Water sprayed out everywhere.

“How did this happen!?”Gasped Smolder.Then,sandbar remembered Yona climbing into the empty trucks.

“Ugh..It’s kinda my fault.”Said Sandbar.The young 6 and narrow gauge engines were confused.”Ya see.I accidentally fell into the empty trucks being pulled up the incline and made Yona follow me.The extra weight must had made the cable unstable.”

“This isn’t good.The trucks are heading for the village!”Cried Skarloey.

“And it gets worse!“Said Ocellus.”If this doesn’t stop,What if the whole quarry gets flooded?”

“We’ll worry about that later.”Said Smolder.

“If we can get ahead of the truck,We may stop them before they get to the village.”Said Sandbar.“Silverstream,You hold up the water.”

“Right!”Replied everyone.Silverstream held up the broken water channel while Sandbar jumped into Skarloeys cab and they raced after the trucks.Ocellus,Smolder,Yona,And Gallus followed them in Peter Sam,Sir handle,Duncan,And Rusty.The troublesome trucks sped on and on.

“On!On!Faster!Faster!”They yelled.Skarloey switched tracks and caught up to the trucks on the side.Sandbar spotted blanks of slate up ahead.

“Alright!We’ll use the slate to make a blockade!”He called to the others.

“You got it!”Replied Gallus giving a thumbs up.The four engines sped up and went ahead of the trucks.Then,Screeched to a halt at the slate stack.Yona,Gallus,Smolder,And Ocellus started making a wall of slate.They stood behind it to keep it up.But,The troublesome trucks were moving too fast.They smashed through the wall and sent Yona,Gallus,Smolder,And Ocellus flying into the trucks.They screamed as they sped along the line.

“So much for that.”Said Skarloey.He and Sandbar switched tracks.They raced passed the narrow gauge engines.Then,Raced passed the trucks.They got close to the village entrance and screeched to a stop.Sandbar looked ahead and saw the trucks getting closer.

“Oh!We’ve gotta stop those trucks!”Said Sandbar.Then,He look up and saw a Rock pile blocking the tracks to a siding.”Those rocks will stop um!”He quickly switched the points.”JUMP!”He called.Yona,Gallus,Smolder,And Ocellus jumped clear just in time.The troublesome trucks swerved into the siding.With a crash and a bash,The trucks smashed off the tracks.Stone and slate dust flew everywhere.But,The village was safe.Later,They went back at the quarry.When they arrived,They were surprised to see Silverstream all squishy and round like a water balloon.

Silverstream,What happened to you!?”Sandbar gasped.

“Simple.Pinkie taught me how to drink and eat like this.”Silverstream muffled.”I couldn’t hold the water channel up anymore because it was too heavy.So,I drunk the water instead.”She spit the water out deflating to normal.A person came to see everyone.He was wearing the same clothes as Sir Tophom Hatt and glasses.

“Who are you?”Gallus asked.

“Allow me to introduce myself.My name is Mr.Percival.Leader of this railway.”He said.You all did a great job of stopping those trucks and preventing the quarry from being flooded.This makes you all really useful.”Everyone was really useful indeed.

“Skarloey?”Said Sandbar.Skarloey listened.”You showed me how strong you really are.Little engines can do big things.”That made Skarloey happy.
