SODOR

Word of Thomas's reason for disappearing spread like a wildlife in July (and believe me, those spread...I think). There were mixed feelings on the subject: some engines were heartbroken; others figured the island would be better off without him. There were a few odd bits about that; the oddest of all was Diesel 10.

"I can't believe I'm the one saying this, but Fat Hat would stoop so low?!?" he roared. "It's obvious the puffball was being a hero and the lard didn't even consider asking what had happened! True that Thomas was being pain, but he seemed to be making up for it! After all, Fatty was the one who said, during that Blue Mountain Quarry incident, that it was wrong to jump to conclusions before knowing the truth, which makes him a hypocrite! That's revolting, especially when he's compared to me (thanks a lot Aaron) and I'm the one who actually deliberately attempted murder-twice-16 years ago. He should be ashamed of himself."

Sir Topham Hatt was feeling ashamed. He didn't know how harsh he had really been. He was aware that some engines were losing respect for him. He never blamed them, for it was to be expected after finding out what really happened. Sir Topham Hatt vowed that when Thomas was found, he would listen to Thomas before going out on him.

Gordon was equally emotionally blue. While he was still upset at Thomas for taking the Express, scrambling the coaches among the lines, and blaming him for the incident, the big engine couldn't help but wonder if that was a little personal. Gordon also realized that he too would've done the same thing if he could and that maybe calling him a "silly little tank engine" was a bit too much. The #4 also made the same vow.

Unfortunately, the chances of that were slim. Everyone searched here and there, far and near, up and down, yet Thomas still wasn't to be found. Reluctantly, the search was called off.

TWIVINE'S CASTLE

Twivine had seen and heard everything...everything. From her 2 mirrors, she had witnessed both the search being called off with a heavy atmosphere as well as Thomas's near breakdown and Twilight's promise. Since, she was clone in more ways than one, Twivine could feel the strong feeling inside Twilight as the latter made her pact with Thomas.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no," she hissed with crescending laughter. "I can't stand it. This is so easy. She's in love with a tank engine, and not just any tank engine, but one who is so popular that he holds the moral of a whole island." She studied the Equine mirror. "This bond may be the key to my lovesick sister's undoing. After all, who says the love isn't easy? Plus, I could use him to take over the island as well." But the more she looked at Thomas's pony counterpart, the more the attraction to him seemed like her own. "He is quite a catch. Maybe he can be my king. Success can be lonely and every mare wants a handsome stud by her side as she a accomplishes her greatest dreams. Besides, I can't rule 2 places at once.

HIT THE VIOLIN BOYS!"

A familiar intro came into the air as she envisioned herself dancing with Thomas (who looked more like this http://fav.me/d7jl9fs) as well as demonstrated her powers to turn into inanimate objects and famous villains...pony forms anyway. Frank Burns, P. T. Boomer, Pennywise, Nightmare Rarity, Lucifera, to name a few.

(NOTE: I'd thought and break in and say that it's a song by Voltaire. I won't say the name because it's kind of obvious, plus describing said scene where Twivine explains how evil she really is and has no remorse for it. But these stories aren't allowed copyright lyrics and I'm not much of a songwriter so...moving on. Sorry to slow you down.)

Anyway, it ended with Twivine smirking and saying, "Anything Changelings can do, I take up to Eleven."
