My name is Hank, I've been living on Sodor ever since I arrived as a teen, the fat controller gave me the speech about the new kid and safety, blah, blah, blah.
I soon meet Henry, the number three engine, when we first meet, he was staring into the trees next to the railroad while I was climbing them, we ,set and have been hanging out ever since.
Sometimes at night, when there's a full moon or something, I would sneak into the sheds, get Henry, and then head out into his forest and look at the wildlife.
Tonight wasn't any different, I was sitting on his buffers, while we looked at the nights sky and the trees, the noise was very peaceful, much better then the foggy nights since there was always the owl screeching.
"Man, look at all those stars." Henry said.
"They sure are burning tonight." I said.
"Yeah...so."
"What?" I asked.
"How's the dating game?" Henry asked, damn bugger, he'd usually ask about me and my personal life, since quite frankly, I had never gone out with a girl.
"Ya already know that answer." I replied back.
"And besides, what about you? Any engines ask you out yet?"
"Nah, besides, Emily's with James and Thomas with Lady." He said.
"Good point." I said.
"So how long until we got back again?" Henry asked.
I looked at my watch.
"About...15 minutes or so." I said.
"Oh, ok."
We waited longer until eventually we had to go. I started to check his water levels and shovelled some coal into his fireplace, the Henry blew his whistle quetily. We headed for a a turning point into some buffers, I pulled us in, then moved us back a but until we reach a connecting rail to the one we entered from and then headed off.
But something seemed off, the environment seemed to be more dense, and some of the plant life didn't resemble any I've seen on Sodor. Henry knew something was up to.
"Um, Hank, notice anything different?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, something seems to be a bit off." I said, then there was some growling.
"What was that!" Henry asked, he seems to be a bit scared, and I couldn't blame him since hearing growling probably isn't good, then a roar was heard and I looked behind us to see something. It had a lions head and various other body parts.
"What the fire truck!?" I asked, it started to gain on us.
"Let's move!" I said as I started to chuck more coal into Henry's firebox, Henry was also trying his hardest to help, and soon after chucking a lot of coal onto the fire, I looked behind me and saw that the creature was gone.
"It's ok, we lost it!" I shouted to Henry, he started to slow down and I soon heard him puff.
"Don't worry, we'll stop once we get out of this forest." I said, Henry huffed and puffed until there was no more tree's or bushes around. Henry puffed on a little more until he stopped.
I jumped out and walked up to Henry.
"Gets some rest, you deserve it." I said, as I walked back to put the fire out, to save the coal for tomorrow.
I soon got some branches and pieces of bark, and a log for me to sit on, and use as a pillow for when I go to sleep.
I sat on the log and tried to warm myself up, I soon heard Henry snore, I chuckled a little before I laid down and leaned my head on the log as I started to drift off into sleep.
I soon woke up in bed, so it was all a dream, I'm back in Sodor and Henry and I made it back safely to the sheds.
That was until I opened my eyes and saw a cottage ceiling, now where was i?
I started to sit up and noticed I was apparently in a guest room of some sort, I tried to look for an exit, but then I started to hear voices.
"So you just found these two outside of your cottage?" The first one said.
"Um, y-yes." The other voice said, it was quiet and seemed to be shy. Both of them seemed to be feminine.
"Wow! This is amazing!" The other voice shouted.
"Eep!"
"Sorry." The voice that shouted said.
"It's a-a-alright." The shy one said again.
"Anyway, who knows what we could discover about them!" I didn't like where this was going.
"Um, what?"
"Anything, I could right the book about them! I would be famous!"
"R-really Twilight." Twilight? Must be a hard core fan of the books.
"Yeah! I mean, I'll have to find out what gender it is." Crap.
"Then I'll need a loos sample." Double crap.
"And then I'll dissect it!" Oh HELL NO!
"Screw that!" I Whispered, I quickly looked around and saw a window, I ran towards ti and saw Henry on the rails, with a worried look on his face, I then did the crazy thing and jumped out off the window, the drop actually wasn't bad, I then quickly ran to Henry, he saw me and then looked relived.
"Oh my, I was worried about you!" Henry said.
"Never mind that! Some crazy thing wants to dissect me and check out which gender I am!" I said, not yelling but more in a panicked tone, you'll probably get that when your in danger of getting cut open.
I quickly hopped into his can, opened the firebox and started to fill it with coal and started the fire, soon we were good to go, I had to wipe the sweat of my forehead, but then I heard the same voice from the dissecting creature shut.
"WAIT!"
I looked to see something that dropped my jaw, two coloured ponies, one had a lavender fur with a purple mane and tail with a pink strip in each of them, and a damn horn! The other was hiding behind the building, it was yellow with a pink mane and tail and was hiding around the corner of her cottage, I guess the shy voiced belonged to her and the crazy pony was the lavender one.
I gave them a two finger salute before Henry took off, he quickly puffed away since he saw the two ponies himself, he quickly headed down the line until we where out of site of the purple pony. Henry started to slow down.
"That *puff* was close *puff*" Henry said.
"No doubt there pal." I said, I then saw a platform with some apple tree's next to it and three figures on the platform.
"Henry, lets get to that platform." I said, Henry used some of his remaining energy to puff our was to the platform, although the steam blocked the platform so I couldn't see, but it then passed and I saw three shocked ponies. One was a small filly with yellow fur and a red mane and bow, the then a big red stallion with a blonde mane, and the last an Orange one with a Stetson and a blonde mane and tail done up in ponytails.
"Um, hey, could you help us out please?" I asked with a sheepish smile.
