(This is a recreation of the Thomas and friends snow episodes on season 3,4,5,And 20.)
Thomas and Percy’s Christmas adventure
One morning,Thomas arrived at Tidmouth sheds.He had some special news for the ponies and engines.
“It’s almost Christmas time!”He said happily.
“Christmas?”Twilight asked.
“It’s this man named Santa who gives everyone presents.”Said Percy.
“Reminds me of Hearts warming.”Said Spike.”What can go wrong?”His answer came when a snowstorm came that night.Everyone returned quickly to the sheds as the snow started blowing.
“Bbbbbbb!It is freezing out there!”Shivered Rainbow Dash.
“S-So...C-C-Cold!”Shivered Fluttershy.The next morning,The island was covered in a big white blanket of snow.It was hard to work with all the snow in the way.Sir Tophom Hatt came to see the ponies and engines.
“I need someone to deliver the Christmas train of decorations to the village.”He said.
“We can do it,Sir.”Said Spike.
“Ok.Im counting on you.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt before he left.Twilight and Thomas were sad.They wanted to pull the presents train.Thomas spoke to Percy and Spike.
“If you’re taking all those presents,Be careful on the icy tracks.”But,Percy and Spike didn’t listen.They were so excited to pull the presents train.They collected the presents waiting at the toy factory and they set off to the village.On they way,They stopped at a junction.Percy had an idea.
“If we take the track on the hill,We’d be sure to get to the village.”He said.But,As Percy puffed onto the right track,The signalman called out.
“Be careful!The tracks are very icy!”He yelled.But,Spike and Percy didn’t hear him.It was hard pulling the heavy Christmas train up the hill alone.Percy puffed with all his might.At last,They reached the top.
“Now,I can puff down the other side.”Panted Percy as he started to puff faster down the hill.Then,There was trouble.At the bottom of the hill was a very sharp turn.Spike tried to apply the brakes.But,Percy’s wheels slid on the icy tracks.Percy slid off the tracks and landed on his side in a huge pill of snow.Presents flew everywhere.
“We’ll never deliver the decorations to the town,Now.”Moaned Spike.Spike and Percy felt terrible.They should have listened to Twilight and Thomas.Soon,Twilight and Thomas arrived with the breakdown train and Sir Tophom Hatt.
“Thomas told you two to be careful.”He said sternly.”You should have listened to them.”
“Sorry,Sir.”Said Spike.
“Sorry,Twilight.We should have listened to you and Thomas.”Said Percy.
“It’s ok.”Said Twilight.”We’ll help you get back on the rails.Then,We can take the presents train together.”Spike and Percy were happy.As Percy was back on the rails,Both he and Thomas set off with the presents train.They started to deliver presents to the people in the village.Twilight and Spike tossed the presents three by three to the house doors.That evening,All the presents were delivered and the villagers cheered.Twilight,Thomas,Spike,And Percy made their way back to the shed.But,When they arrived back at the sheds,It was dark and silent.Then,All the lights came on and the sheds were decorated with Christmas decorations both inside and out.All the ponies and engines were there.Including Sir Tophom Hatt.
“Wow!What happened here?”Thomas asked.
“Everyones getting easy for the holidays.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.”And this is the best way to prepare for Christmas.”
“It sure is.”Said Twilight.
A scarf for Percy
It was a cold winters day on the island of Sodor and Twilight,Thomas,Spike,And Percy were freezing in the sheds.
“I hope there’s enough firewood to keep us warm.”Shivered Percy.
“Me,Too.”Replied Thomas.
“Maybes there’s more than one way to keep engines warm.”Said Twilight.Just then,Percy thought about wearing a scarf around his funnel.
“Scarves!”He said.
“Are you crazy!?”Gasped Spike.”Trains don’t where scarves.”But,Percy kept on thinking about them until the fire lighter came.Soon,Spike and Percy were working hard.Percy’s firebox was burning bright and he had lots of steam.But,He was still thinking about scarves.He can see them everywhere he look.Lots of people were wearing scarves everywhere.Later,They met Fluttershy and Henry.
“My funnel is cold!”Shvered Percy.”I want a scarf!”
“Engines don’t wear scarves.”Said Henry.
“Engines with tall funnels do.”Said Percy.”You only got a small one.”
“How dare you tease Henry about his small funnel!”Gasped Fluttershy angrily.
“What she said.”Replied Henry.But,Before Henry can say anything else,Percy puffed away.At the station further down the line,The passengers were waiting for Spike and Percy.On the way,Percy saw an old piece of cloth in the snow.
“Maybe that’ll be a good scarf.”Said Percy.Spike wrapped the cloth around his funnel.Percy was pleased.Soon,They were on their way again.Suddenly,The wind started to pick up.It blowed so much,The cloth around Percy’s funnel came loose and wrapped onto his face.Percy couldn’t see the line ahead.”Whats going on!?I can’t see a thing!”
“Whoa!Slow down,Percy!”Called Spike.Then,There was trouble.Rosie was puffing by with small flatbeds loaded with jelly barrels.Spike applied the brakes.But,It was too late!Percy smashed into the flatbeds and came off the tracks as the jelly barrels burst everywhere and splattered all over the engines and ponies.Sir Tophom Hatt heard the noise and came to see what had happened.He removed the cloth off of Percy’s face.
“Now,You see why engines don’t wear scarves.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.
“I guess you’re right.”Said Percy sadly.
“You’ll have to go to the wash down while Twilight and Thomas take your passengers.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.
“Yes,Sor.Thank you,Sir.”Said Spike and he left with Percy while Pinkie Pie started to eat all the jelly.On the way,They met James and Rarity.
“You didn’t get a scarf.But,You did get a jelly bath!”Laughed James.
“Now now,James,Don’t be so rude to Spike.”Said Rarity.
“Sorry.”Said James.Percy and Spike arrived back at the sheds.Twilight was helping Spike get the jelly off Percy.
“The firelighters promised to come early.”Said Thomas.
“I have learned a lesson.”Said Percy.
”You’re right.Engines don’t need scarves.”Said Spike
“Just warm boilers.”Said Percy happily.
Snow
The narrow gauge railway was covered in tons of snow.There was a problem at the incline.The winch that moves the trucks up and down wasn’t working right.The workman use the snow as a double buffer to stop trucks from plunging into the ravine.One day,Sandbar and Skarloey were taking slate trucks to the quarry through a narrow gorge.Sandbar looked up at the snow caps.
“That snow looks dangerous.”He said worried.”A loud noise might cause an avalanche.I’ll set an emergency cap and see what happens.”Skarloey watched as Sandbar prepared it.Then,Skarloey ran over the cap and the cap went boom!The bang echoed through the gorge.Nothing happened.
“Good.”Said Skarloey.”Let’s carry on with our work.”But,Neither did Sandbar and Skarloey knew they were heading for trouble.A long line of loaded slate trucks were making their way down the incline.As they began to roll down,The winch groaned.
“Break it!Snap it!”Shouted the trucks and they did.The winch snapped and the trucks raced down the hill.”On!On!Faster!Faster!”
“The snow bank and buffers will stop them!”Said a workman.But,He was wrong.The trucks smashed through the buffers and snow and plunged into the ravine.They smashed onto a lower cliff edge with a loud boom!Louder than the emergency cap.Sandbar and Skarloey heard the noise.
“Ugh...What did you eat do breakfast?”Skarloey asked Sandbar.
“AVALANCHE!!!!!”Sandbar screamed.Skarloey looked up and saw the snow tumbling down the gorge.A bunch of snow buried Sandbar and Skarloey followed by the slate trucks.Sandbar and the other came to see what happened.
“This isn’t good.”Said Ocellus worried.
“Sandbar and Skarloey need help.”Said Yona as she started to dig in the snow.As the young 5 cleared away the snow,They didn’t knew the heat from Skarloey’s boiler created an igloo.
“It’s a snowball.”Smolder guessed.
“No.It’s a snow house.”Said Gallus.
“Both wrong!Its an engine!”Said Silverstream realizing what it is.The young 5 cleared away the ice and revealed Sandbar and Skarloey.Mr.Percival came to see them.
“Are you two alright?”He asked.
“Y-Y-Yeah.I was starting to feel like a popsicle.”Shivered Sandbar.
“M-Me,Too.”Said Skarloey.
“It’s ok.We’ll have you nice and warm at the sheds.”Said Mr.Percival.
“Thank you,Sir.”Said Sandbar.
Love me tender
Engines number 9 and 10 on Sir Tophom Hatt’s railway are the Scottish twins Donald and Douglas.Their pony drivers are the twin spa ponies.Lotus Blossom and Aloe Vera.They are practical,Peppery,And proud.But,Like most brothers.Donald and Douglas sometimes argue.The snow on the island was heavier than ever and there were many lines to clear.Donald were wearing their snowplows.They soon stopped at a junction.
“Hey,Donald,Lotus,What do ya say we go down Edward’s branch line?”Douglas asked.
“I don’t think so,Douglas.”Groaned Donald.
“But,Douglas might be right.”Said Aloe.”I think it’s faster to the docks.”
“I think it’s better if we stick to the main line for no.”Sniffed Donald and they set off.Later,They were faced with another choice.
“I think we should head down to Wellsworth station.”Said Lotus.
“That sounds like a good choice.”Said Douglas.
“No way.I think it’s best if we stay on the main line and clear it for Twilight and Thomas.”Said Donald angrily and he set off with a nasty jerk.Aloe and Douglas weren’t sure.But,They thought they heard a cracking sound in the coupling between Douglas and his tender.Soon,Donald and Douglas were faced with yet another choice.”What do ya say?Shall we stick to the mainline or clear the track to the castle?”
“I’m saying nothing.”Said Douglas crossly.”You’ll choose your own way whatever I say.In fact,I wouldn’t be surprised if you just do the opposite of whatever I say!”
“You always do whatever you want to do.”Grumbled Donald as he set off again.
“Didn’t!”Growled Douglas as he puffed the other way.
“Did not!”Said Donald.
“Then,Stop pulling!”Said Douglas.
“I’m not pulling!”Groaned Donald.”You are!”And he pulled even harder.Then,There was trouble.With a crack and a creak,The coupling between Douglas and his tender snapped and Douglas shot forward!
“Stop!”Called Aloe.
“Help,Donald!”Cried Douglas.But,Lotus and Donald couldn’t hear them.Later,Lotus was filling Donald’s boiler with water when Thomas puffed by with Twilight.They gasped s they saw Donald with Douglas’ tender and screeched to a halt.
“Lotus!Donald!”Cried Thomas.
“What is it?”Lotus asked.
“Do you know you’re pulling two tenders?”Said Thomas.
“No.”Said Donald.
“Well,You got Douglas’ tender at back behind your own!”Said Twilight.”The coupling must have snapped!”
“Wait!You mean I got all my brothers coal!?”Donald gasped.
“Exactly!”Said Thomas.”But,That means Aloe and Douglas are...”
“Stuck back there in the snow!”Cried Donald.
“We got to rescue them!”Said Lotus as Donald steamed away as fast as he could.Meanwhile,Aloe and Douglas were freezing without anymore coal to light the firebox.But,Lotus and Donald were determined to find their twins.
“Aloe!Douglas!”Called Donald.Alow and Douglas heard Donald.
“Help!Over here!”Cried Aloe.But,Lotus and Donald didn’t see them in the big snow pile and they went past them.Later,They met Toby in his shed.
“Toby,Have you seen Aloe and Douglas?”Lotus asked.
“Well,I saw a big pile of snow back at the junction.It kinda looked like an engine.”Said Toby.
“That must had been Douglas!”Cried Lotus.
“But,We just went past them!”Replied Donald.So,He puffed back to the junction.He whistled.So,Aloe and Douglas heard them.
“Help!Help!”Cried Aloe.
“We’re over here!”Cried Douglas.Lotus and Donald found their twins.Lotus had attached a chain to Douglas and Donald pulled him out of the snow pile.
“Aloe,Douglas,We’re glad to see you again.”Said Donald.
“Don’t worry.”Said Lotus.”We’ll get you two to the sheds.You’ll be warm in no time.”
“Just knowing our twins are back,Its already warmed us up.”Said Douglas.
A miniature snowy day
The cmc and the miniature engines on the miniature railway are excited.Not only that Christmas is coming.But,Two new engines are coming to the miniature railway.The two engines were waiting at the yard.One of them was a yellow steam engine and the other was a silver diesel.When they arrived,The cmc was surprised to see the engines drivers.It was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
“Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon,It’s good to see ya both.”Said Applebloom.
“You can say that again.”Said Diamond Tiara.”I’d like you all to meet Jock.”
“Hi.”Said Jock.
“And I’m Frank.”Said the silver diesel.
“Nice to meet you.”Said Applebloom.Mr.Duncan came to see them
“Diamond Tiara and Jock,You two will start by taking a goods train to the next station.”He said.”Scootaloo,Mike,You are to help them.”
“Yes,Sir.”Said Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara.Mike and Jock backed up to a long line of trucks loaded with ballast and crates.
“Ok,Scootaloo,We should be careful going down the icy tracks.”Said Diamond Tiara.But,Scootaloo and Mike didn’t listen.They were too excited about getting Christmas delivery’s.As they set off,They soon came to a hill.The two engines puffed an chuffed their hardest.Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara had to shovel a lot of coal.There was so much coal,Jocks firebox started spitting out coal dust.It covered Diamond Tiara from head to hoove.”I may be getting dirty.But,I must help get this job done.”
“Mustn’t give up!”Groaned Jock.At last,They reached the top.Diamond Tiara was relieved after she brushed off the coal dust.Soon,They started sliding down the hill.
“Wheeeeee!”Screamed Scootaloo and Mike as they sped down the hill.But,Diamond Tiara and Jock were scared.Luckily,Diamond Tiara applied the brakes before they reached the bend.A few minutes later,They came to a bigger hill.
“Here we go again.”Moaned Diamond Tiara.As they came to the top,Mike puffed even faster down the hill.
“Take it easy!”Called Jock.But,Scootaloo and Mike didn’t hear Jock.They were having fun.They were almost to the station.But,First,They had to get over another hill.It was the biggest hill on the miniature railway.
“We’ll get a good slide on this one.”Said Mike and he puffed as fast as he could on the way up.Soon,They raced down the other side at high speed.Diamond Tiara and Jock were scared.They had never gone this fast.Then,Diamond Tiara looked and gasped.At the bottom of the hill was a red signal.But,Scootaloo and mike didn’t saw the signal as they slid past.
“Oh,This is bad.This is vey bad!”Shivered Diamond Tiara as she applied Jocks breaks.But,Mike was pulling super hard.
“Why the brakes?Lets get this job done quickly.”Said Scootaloo.Then,With a crack and a creak,The coupling between Jock and mike snapped!Jock screeched to a halt as mike sped down the line.
“Whahoooo!”Yelled Mike.But,There was trouble ahead.Sweetie Belle and Bert stopped at a signal at the further down the track.They were carrying a load of green and red streamers for the Christmas party.As Scootaloo and Mike rounded a bend,They saw the streamer train ahead!Mike applied the brakes as hard as he could.But,He couldn’t stop.His wheels slipped on the icy tracks.Mike crashed into the back of Berts train and came off the tracks.Streamers flew everywhere.Luckily,No one was hurt.Mr.Duncan arrived on Rex.He was cross.
“I told you to be careful on the icy track.”He said sternly.
“Yes,Sir.Sorry,Sir.”Said Scootaloo.
“We just wanted to get this job done quickly so we can pull the presents train of the miniature railway.”Said Mike.
“You won’t be doing that.”Said Mr.Percival sternly.”You will shunt trucks in the yard until I can trust you again.”
“Yes,Sir.Sorry,Sir.”Said Mike sadly.Soon,Scootaloo and Mike was back in the yard sadly shunting trucks.Now,They never get to pull the presents train.Since Diamond Tiara and Jock were doing their best to stop Scootaloo and Mike,Mr.Percival ordered them to pull the presents train.So,Jock backed up to the presents train and they set off.Then,There was trouble.While Scootaloo and Mike were still working in the hard,They heard a loud bang!
Cookie Catastrophe!
Everyone on the island were making Christmas cookies to eat for the holidays.Twilight Sparkle and Thomas arrived at Tidmouth sheds and found Pinkie Pie and Rosie.They were surprised to see that Pinkie Pie had an oven.
“Hi,Pinkie.”Said Twilight.
“Where did you get an oven?”Thomas asked.
“It’s my very own portable oven.”Said Pinkie Pie.”And I’m making special Christmas cookies!”On the stove of the oven was a tray and a bowl with cookie dough in it.
“Mmmm.I love cookies.”Said Twilight excited.
“Me,Too!”Said Pinkie.”I’m almost done with the dough.”She squirted chocolate sauce from a bottle into the dough.Then,Mixed it with a wooden spoon turning it brown and squishy.She gave twilight the wooden spoon covered in chocolate dough.
“I wonder how it tastes.”Said Twilight as she licked the dough off the spoon.”Mmmmm!Its so sweet!It melts in your mouth!”She started to lick the rest of the chocolate dough off the spoon.
“It’s only the sweetest Christmas I’m going to bake.”Said Pinkie.”I’m going to make tons.But,I need more ingredients.”Just then,Sir Tophom Hatt arrived.
“These cookies are going to be the best this year.”He said.”Twilight,Thomas,I want you two to collect more cookie dough from the bakery.”
“Yes,Sir.”Said Twilight.
“We won’t let you down,Pinkie.”Said Thomas as he set off with Twilight.
“Now,Where is the gold sprinkles?”She said as she looked around.Just then,Pinkie Pie noticed a little bag of glitter on the ground.”Hmm.This’ll do.”And she sprinkled the gold glitter into the chocolate mix.Then,She squirted red and green icing into the batter.”Wait til they see my special Christmas icing stuffed chocolate cookies.”
“Alright!”Said Rosie excited.”Now,We put it in the oven.”Pinkie placed the tray of cookies into the oven and set the timer.
“What do ya say we go help Twilight and Thomas get more ingredients?”Rosie asked.
“Oakie dokie.”Said Pinkie as she and Rosie left.But,After they went onto the mainline,The cookies in the oven started to swell bigger making the oven round.Soon,Pinkie Pie and Rosie arrived at the bakery where Twilight and Thomas were collecting the dough.
“How’s it doing?”Rosie asked.
“Oh,Yes.”Said Thomas.
“There is going to be tons of cookies this Christmas.”Said Pinkie.
“Mmmmm.Those cookies are so good,I could eat a million!”Said a twilight excited.Then,There was trouble.Back at Tidmouth sheds,The oven started to shake,Steam,And squirt dough.Then,The oven exploded and giant dough blobs flew everywhere.The explosion was so loud,Twilight,Thomas,Pinkie,And Rosie heard the explosion.
“What the!?”Gasped Twilight.Then,They saw one of the giant blobs flying towards them.
“Sinders and ashes!”Cried Thomas.The ponies and bakers ran and the engines raced away.The dough splatted all over the bakery and the dough started to glow yellow and expand even more.
“What is going on!?”Rosie asked surprised.More blobs started to splat and expand everywhere.
“It’s raining blobs!”Cried Thomas.”RUN!!!”The ponies jumped into the engines cabs and they raced away.
“Man!These dough blobs are flying over a quarter of the island!”Cried Rosie.She was right.The dough blobs were splatting over everything.Spike and Percy were delivering the mail when some pudding fell on top of them.
“Huh!?”Gasped Spike.Then,The dough splatted on Applejack and Edward.
“What in tarnation!?”Gasped Applejack.Rarity and James were running away from falling dough,Too.
“I don’t want to get my paint dirty!”Cried James.
“Neither on my mane!”Cried Rarity.Suddenly,More dough fell on top of them.Rainbow Dash and Gordon were racing away as fast as he could from the dough.
“Haha!”Said Gordon.”Too bad.”
“We’re just too fast for the blobs.”Said Rainbow Dash.Suddenly,More dough blobs splatted in front of them and Gordon crashed into it.”You gotta be kidding.”Twilight,Thomas,Pinkie,And Rosie were hiding in Henry’s tunnel from the falling dough.
“I can’t believe it!The weather news never said it was going to rain dough balls!”Said Thomas surprised.Suddenly,Another dough blob fell right in front of the tunnel.Twilight noticed the yellow glow.
“Wait a second.”Said Twilight.”This glow looks like....Pinkie.”
“Oh.Hehe.I kinda found a bag of glowing glitter on the ground and I thought it was my sprinkles.”Said Pinkie
“You must mean my grow glitter.”Said Twilight.”It makes everything get bigger of whatever the glitter touches.”
“Oh no!This is my fault!”Cried Pinkie.
“Don’t worry.”Said Twilight.”We can fix this with my shrink sprinkles.It won’t shrink the dough,But,It might stop it from expanding.”Suddenly,Another giant blob of dough landed in front of the tunnel.
“But,First,We gotta get out of here before this tunnel fills with dough!”Cried Thomas as the dough started to grow in the tunnel.They made it out of the tunnel just in time before the dough blasted out the other side.Twilight reached into her bag of magic potions and pulled out a bag of glowing magenta glitter.
“Alright!Here it goes!”Said Twilight as she threw some of the glitter on the dough and it stopped expanding.”Ok.That’s one down.A lot more to go.Tell everybody to spread out and sprinkle this on the dough!”
“Got it!”Said Pinkie and Rosie.Twilight gave Pinkie an extra bag of Shrinking Sprinkles.Then,They took the left track.They raced down the track telling others about the dough and giving them more Shrinking Speinkle
Mavis
A new engine has just arrived on the island of Sodor.She is a diesel named Mavis.She works at the quarry when ever the weather.One day,Applejack,Edward and Applejack arrived to collect some stone and deliver it to The docks.Mavis was rearranging the trucks.Then,There was trouble.Mavis accidentally bumped the trucks too hard and they came off the rails in a siding.This made Toby cross.
“You need to be more careful.”He said sternly.”We steam engines can handle trucks.”This made Mavis cross as she continued shunting trucks.
“Now,Calm down,Toby.”Said Applejack.
“It was only an accident.”Said Edward.Toby said nothing as he started down the line with his trucks loaded with stone.Later,Mavis was in the sheds when diesel arrived.
“Toby says I’m a fuss pot!”She grumbled.Diesel sensed trouble and was delighted.”He says steam engines can handle trucks and diesels can’t!”
“How absurd.”Said diesel.”Depend upon it,Mavis.Anything engines can do,We diesels can do better.”Diesel knew nothing about trucks.He was only bluffing this.But,Mavis agreed.Soon,Mavis came up with a plan.
“I’ll take the line of trucks,Myself.”She said as she backed up to a line of trucks loaded with stone and set off.”I don’t need that good for nothing Toby to help me.I can do it all by myself.”Further down the line was a crossing on top of a little hill.Toby and Edward always stop before they go up the hill.But,Mavis doesn’t know that.Instead,When she approached the crossing,She stopped on top of the little hill in front of the crossing.All traffic halted.When Mavis tried to move,Her wheels slid on the icy track.And what was worse,The troublesome trucks were holding back.
“Hold back!Hold back!”They giggled.Mavis pulled hard.But,Her wheels kept on slipping.Suddenly,There was a loud cough!Mavis had pulled so hard,Her engine blew out.Cars and busses honked their horns impatiently.Applejack,Edward,And Toby arrived at the quarry when they heard the news.
“I warned her.”Said Toby.
“I think it’s beast if we help her.”Said Edward.
“She’ll be in big trouble when Sir Tophom Hatt finds out.”Replied Applejack.They soon arrived at the crossing to help Mavis.
“Having trouble?”Toby asked.”I am surprised.”He and Edward pushed Mavis back down the hill and into the quarry.Sir Tophom Hatt was waiting for Mavis at her shed.He was very cross.
“Mavis,You have caused confusion and delay!”He said sternly.”You stay in the shed as punishment until you’ve learned your lesson about trucks.”So,Mavis stayed in the shed while Applejack,Edward,And Toby took the train of stone to the docks.
“I hope Mavis behaves well,Soon.”Said Toby.”Don't you?”
TO BE CONTINUED.......
Tobys tightrope
Spike and Percy arrived at the quarry to collect rocks.Just then,They saw Mavis in her shed who has been punished by Sir Tophom Hatt for blocking the crossing.
“What happened?”Percy asked.
“Sir Tophom Hatt says I can’t leave my shed until I learned my lesson about trucks.”Mavis grumbled.”It’s all because of that good for nothing Toby!He is a fuss pot!”
“Toby has forgotten more about trucks than you will ever know!”Said Spike crossly.
“You still need to learn how to handle these trucks.Then,You’ll be useful.”Said Percy as he left with his stone loaded trucks.Mavis liked Spike and Percy.But,She wouldn’t listen to their advice.
“Why shouldn’t I leave the quarry?”She grumbled crossly.She came up with a plan to teach Toby a lesson.Mavis whispered to the trucks.”Will you bump Toby when he couples up to you?Keep it a secret.”
“Yes.We will.”Said the trucks back.Later,Applejack,Edward,And Toby arrived to collect more stone.When Toby started his journey with the trucks,They played their trick.”On!On!On!”And they bumped their buffers and pushed Toby faster and faster.
“Oh no!”Cried Edward as he and Applejack raced after him.All traffic halted as Toby and the trucks sped past the crossing.Applejack,Edward,And Toby didn’t knew that a tree had fallen and was rushing down the river.It washed around the rocks and smashed into the boards holding the bridge up.The bridge collapsed and the rails were now like a tightrope across the river.
“Stop!Stop!”Cried Toby.As they rounded the next bend,They saw the broken bridge ahead!Edward and Toby applied their brakes as hard as they could.Edward stopped.But,Toby didn’t.The heavy trucks were pushing him towards the bridge.Toby stopped on the bridge.Luckily,He was still on the rails.But,He was swaying by the wind on the rails over the river below.
“We gotta help him,Edward.”Said Applejack.Edward coupled up to the back of tobys train.He tried to pull him off the bridge.But,His wheels slid on the icy track.
“It’s no good!The bridge will collapse with all that weight of the trucks!”Said Edward.”We need help!”Just then,They head a horn they heard before.
“It’s Mavis!”Gasped Applejack as she looked back.”I’ll bet she is responsible for this!”Mavis knew what she did was wrong.Now,She need to help Toby.She buffered up to Edward.Her wheels gripped hard.”Let me help,Ya’ll!”Applejack wrapped her lasso around Mavis’ buffers and pulled with all her might.All together,Applejack,Edward,And Mavis pulled Toby back to safety before the bridge collapsed into the river.
“I’m sorry about your accident,Toby.”Said Mavis sadly.”I told those trucks to push you.”
“It’s ok.But,It’s not just me you have to apologize to.”Said Toby.”Sir Tophom Hatt will be very cross.”And he was when they arrived back at the quarry.
“Mavis,I told you to stay in your shed.But,You didn’t!You have caused confusion and delay twice a day!”He said sternly.”I thought you learned your lesson about trucks.”
“And yet,I haven’t.”Said Mavis sadly.”Diesel said diesels know everything about trucks.”
“What!?Thats not true,Mavis!”Scolded Applejack.”He doesn’t know a thing about trucks!”
“You should know that by now.”Said Edward.Mavis felt worse than ever.She now knew Diesel had lied to her about trucks.
“I’m so sorry,Everyone.I shouldn’t have listened to Diesel.”Said Mavis feeling ashamed of herself.
“You still have a lot to learn about trucks.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.”Diesel will shunt trucks in the quarry until I can trust him again.”
“What about me,Sir?”Mavis asked.
“Because of Diesel as the real one to blame for the delays and because of your bravery to help Applejack,Edward,And Toby,I’m glad to say you will help the others to clear the snow and get ready for Christmas Day.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.
“Yes,Sir!Thank you,Sir!”Said Mavis happily.”I’ll be ready to help.”
“As soon as the wooden bridge gets fixed.”Reminded Toby.It was fixed a few days later.Applejack,Edward,Toby,And Mavis happily set off to work while Diesel shunted trucks in the quarry in disgrace.
“Foiled again.”Grumbled Diesel.Mavis worked hard plowing through the snow and she helped deliver Christmas decorations to many towns.
Letters to Santa
It was Christmas Eve and the last day to deliver letters to Santa.When Spike and Percy pick up the letters,They take them to the airport on the mainland where they will be delivered by plane to the North Pole.Spike and Percy were already delivering the letters.But,It was hard with so much snow on the track.
“Gotta keep moving.Mail coming through!”Groaned Percy as he pushed hard through the snow.Just then,Spitfire and Harold flew from above.
“Are you ok,Spike,Percy?”Harold asked.
“He’s right.Everything is ok,Harold.”Said Spike.
“Perhaps it’ll be ok if I take the mail to the mainland.”Said Harold.”Snow is no problem for me.”
“But,It’s our job to taking the mail.”Said Percy
“We’re only meant to see that you’re struggling.”Said Spitfire.
“I’m not struggling!”Grumbled Percy.
“Suit yourself.I’ll continue patrolling the island.”Said Harold as he flew away.
“Why does that whirlybird think he’s so much much better than anyone else?”Percy asked furiously.
“What makes you say that?”Spiek asked.
“Well,Back then before you came to Sodor,Harold called me slow and out of date when we first met.”Said Percy.”Even though I beat hm in a race,He still called me second best.”Soon,Spike and Percy arrived at Calon station to pick up the last bags to Santa.Just then,Twilight and Thomas arrived with Annie and Clarabel.
“What’s wrong?”Twilight asked.
“The snow is making us late,Twilight.”Said Spike.
“And it’s the last day to deliver the letters to Santa.”Said Percy and he raced away.Suddenly,Twilight and Thomas noticed something.Spike and Percy were in such a rush,They forgot one last sack of letters.
“Percy,Stop!”Cried Thomas.”You forgot a sack of letters!”But,Spike and Percy were too far to hear.
“We an help.”Said Spitfire.So,Spitfire and Harold flew away with the last letters after Spike and Percy.
“Spike,Percy,Stop!”Cried Harold.Spike heard Harold.But,Percy didn’t.He had no idea Spitfire and Harold were trying to help.He thought Harold was making fun of his speed again.So,He puffed even faster.
“I’ll show him!Im spoof slow and I don’t need any help!”Said Percy.Then,There was trouble.Percy was so cross,He didn’t see the signal telling him to stop.
“Percy,You have to stop!”Cried Spike.But,Percy was determined to get the letters to the mainland airport on time.But,As they rounded a bend,He saw a goods train ahead!
“Oh no!”Cried Percy.Spike applied the brakes.But,Percy’s wheels slid on the icy track.Percy crashed into the bak of the goods train and letter shattered everywhere.Spitfire was very cross.
“Percy,We were trying to tell you that you left a Sam of letters behind!”She scolded.Percy felt terrible.
Twilight and Thomas save Christmas
It was the night before Christmas and all the ponies and engines were getting ready for bed.
“It’s almost Christmas.”Said Twilight.”I’m so excited!”
“Me,Too.”Said Thomas.Just then,They saw their friend,Timothy.He looked very confused.
“Hi,Timothy.”Said a Twilight.”Is something wrong?”
“I’m just surprised that what’s going on here.”Sais Timothy.
“What do you mean?Its almost Christmas!”Said Twilight.
“Well,You see,I’ve never celebrated Christmas before.”Said Timothy.
“YOU NEVER CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS!?!?”Gasped Twilight and Thomas.
“Thing is...You see,Remember my ghost story?”Timothy asked.”Well,The whole ghost thing happened before i first celebrated Christmas.”
“That all makes sense.”Said Twilight.
“Anyway,You’ll see what Christmas is all about.”Said Thomas.So,They took Timothy on a tour to show them the spirit of Christmas.Timothy saw the people decorating their houses and putting up their Christmas trees.
“You see,Santa Claus gives presents to all the nice children around the world.”Said Twilight.Timothy knew Twilight was right.
“Yeah.I know what all this means.”He said.Soon,Twilight,Thomas,And Timothy went back to the sheds.
“Good night,Thomas.Good night,Timothy.”Said Twilight.
“Good night.”Said Thomas and Timothy.Everyone went asleep and were waiting for the big day to come.Suddenly,Twilight spotted a red glow in the sky.So,She went out of the shed to investigate.
“What is that?”Twilight asked.The red light in the sky wa s getting brighter and closer.Suddenly,The red light rashes into Twilight and they both tumbled down the hill.Snow stuck to Twilight and the red light and they rolled into a big snowball.They crashed into a tree and the snowball burst open.Twilight picked herself up and noticed that the red light started to fade and revealed a reindeer with a red nose.He looked very sad.“Are you...”Just then,Thomas,Timothy,Spike,And Percy arrived when they heard the crash sound.
“What’s going on!?”Spike asked.Thomas and Percy gasped as they saw the reindeer.
“What is it?Do you know this reindeer?”Timothy asked.
“Yes!We do!Its Rudolph the red nose reindeer!”Said Thomas.Twilight remembered when Thomas was telling her about Christmas.
“The sleigh gets pulled by eight reindeer along with a special reindeer named Rudolph.His red nose helps light the was through the night.”Said Thomas.
“You’re right.You told me about him at the beginning of December.”Said Twilight.”Why did you crash here and where are the other reindeer?”
“Well,I’m afraid there might be no Christmas this year.”Said Rudolph sadly.Everyone gasped.
“No Christmas!?Are you serious!?”Twilight asked.
“Yes.And there’s only one way to save Christmas.”Said Rudolph.
“Wait!You don’t mean...”Said Timothy.
“We’re going to the North Pole!”Said Rudolph.
“But,How do we get there?”Spike asked.
“Easy.We go across the mainland and to the North Pole.”Said Thomas.
“Then,What are we waiting for?”Said Twilight as she and Timothy climbed into Thomas’ cab.”Full steam ahead!”Thomas,Percy and Timothy raced to the Vicarstown bridge as fast as they could.The three engines raced across the Vicarstown bridge and across the mainland.Just then,Thomas found a sign that said ‘North Pole’.
“We’re getting closer.”Said Thomas.Then,There was trouble.A blizzard started to come.Everyone got super cold.
“I don’t think we c-can make it!”Shivered Timothy.
“We n-n-need help.”Shivered Twilight.Suddenly,They saw a sled loaded with mountain climbing and mining equipment being pulled by arctic wolves.A man with a big brown beard was riding the sled.He was wearing a fluffy sweater and a helmet with a light.He was whip the dogs which made them go faster.
“Mush!Mush!Mush!”Yelled the man.
