Thomas Comes To Breakfast

Twilight Sparkle and her engine friend, Thomas the Tank Engine, has worked his branch line for many days and know it very well. They soon arrived at Farquhar station, That afternoon.

“Gee, You know just where to stop, Thomas.” Laughed Twilight. “You could almost manage it without me.” Thomas wasn’t happy when he heard that. He didn’t knew it was a joke. He knew he and Twilight had been friends ever since they met. That night at the sheds, He spoke to Spike, Percy, and Toby at the sheds.

“Twilight said I don’t need her, Now.” He said sadly.

“Don’t be so daft, Bro.” Said Thomas. “There’s no way that could be true.”

“Yeah. I never go without Spike.” Said Percy.

“Me, Neither.” Replied Toby. “I’d be frightened or could have an accident with no one to apply the brakes.”

“But, We’re living engines.” Said Thomas. “We could either apply our brakes by ourselves or let our partners do that for us.” Soon, Twilight came back and they went to sleep. Thomas was happy to see her again before going to sleep. The next day the firelighter came. Thomas drowsed comfortably as the warmth spread into his boiler. Percy and Toby were still asleep. Thomas hoped he can do well with Twilight as well on his own.

“I know!” He thought quietly. “I'll just go out and then, I'll stop and wheesh! That'll make them jump.” Soon, He quietly puffed out of the sheds. He thought he can manage himself including his brakes. But, He couldn’t because a careless kid had been meddling with his controls. Then, It happened. He tried to wheesh some steam, but he couldn't. He tried to stop, but he couldn't. He just kept rolling along. “Uh oh. This will not end well.” He didn't dare what it look what's coming next. There was the stationmaster's house! The stationmaster was about to have breakfast.

“Yikes!” Cried Thomas and shut his eyes before crashing into the station masters house wall. The crash was so loud, it woke up Twilight.

“What in the world was that!?” She gasped. The house rocked, broken glass tinkled, and plaster was everywhere. Thomas had collected a bush on his travels. He peered into the room through its leaves. He couldn't speak. But, He could see that he poked into the dining room of the house. The station master removed a painting and revealed Thomas

“My goodness! Thomas, is that you?” He gasped seeing Thomas in his dining room wall.

“Yes. It’s me.” Moaned Thomas. “I’m really sorry.”

“We’ll talk about how this happened, Later.” Said the station master. “Right now, We’ll try to get you out. I better get the phone and ring for assistance.” He left the living room and shut the door. But, The sudden chain reaction caused more plaster to fall. This time, it fell on Thomas. He felt very depressed. Twilight arrived at the scene of disaster.

“Oh no!” She gasped. “Thomas, are you alright?”

“Yeah.” Moaned Thomas through the bushes on his buffers. “And I’m sorry. I didn’t knew you were joking.”

“I’m sorry, Too.” Replied Twilight. “Maybe I should have been more specific.” Soon, Sir Tophom Hatt got the message and sent two new twin engines that has just arrived on the island. Their names were Donald and Douglas.

“Dinna fash yourself, Thomas.” Said Donald.

“We'll soon have you back on the rails.” Said Douglas. The twin engines pulled hard and heaved Thomas out of the wall and back on the tracks. Bits of fencing, the bush, and a broken window frame festooned his front, which was badly twisted. The twins laughed and left him. Thomas was in disgrace. Sir Tophom Hatt came to see him.

“Sir, I tried to stop by myself. But for some reason, I couldn’t.” He explained.

“I see.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “Don’t worry. It wasn’t your fault. One of the near security cameras saw a little kid mess with your controls.”

“Oh! So, That’s what happened.” Thomas realized as his voice muffled through the bushes.

“You must go to the works and have your front mended. It will be a long job.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt.

“Yes, Sir.” Muffled Thomas.

“But, What about his passengers?” Twilight asked sadly.

“I’m glad you asked.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “While Thomas gets repaired, You will partner with a diesel railcar will do Thomas’ work.“

“D-D-D-Diesel!?” Gasped Twilight.

“Oh no! Not Diesel! Anything but him!” Said Thomas spluttered.

“Oh! Don’t worry. This isn’t the Diesel you met before.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “Engines always stay in their sheds 'til they are wanted. Especially instead of gallivant off to breakfast in Stationmasters' houses.”

Daisy

Twilight, Spike, Percy, and Toby feel bad about Thomas. His previous accident with the station master’s house had damaged his front. Sir Topham Hatt was waiting for them with important news.

“Here is Daisy the Diesel Rail-car, who has come to help while Thomas is...Ugh….indisposed.” He introduced them to Daisy. Twilight, Spike, and the two engines didn’t like diesels like the Devious Diesel and his crew who turned everyone against Sunset and Nia.

“Please, Sir, Will she go when Thomas comes back, Sir?” Percy asked worried.

“He’s right. I miss Thomas so much.” Replied Twilight.

“That all depends.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “Meanwhile, however long she stays, I hope you will both make her welcome and comfortable.”

“Yes, Sir.” Said Spike.

“Well try our best.” Said Toby.

“Good. Run along now and show her the shed. She will want a rest after her journey.” Sir Tophom Hatt agreed. Twilight, Spike, and the two small engines left and Daisy followed them. Soon, They brought Daisy to the engine sheds. She was not easy to pleased. She shuddered at the engine shed.

“This is dreadfully smelly!” She said. “I'm highly sprung and anything smelly is bad for my swerves.”

“Ugh!!!” Groaned Twilight and Spike as they collapsed to the ground.

“Well, That’s what we need! A special type of engine as if she’s rich.” Whispered Percy angrily.

“Patience, Percy.” Said Toby. “It is her first day on Sodor and we don’t want to disappoint her and Sir Tophom Hatt.

“I guess you’re right.” Sighed Percy. Then, He spoke to Daisy. “Alright, Daisy, Lets take you to a different shed.” So, They did. This time, it’s was the carriage shed.

“This is better.” Said Daisy feeling relaxed. “Whatever is that rubbish?” The rubbish turned out to be Annie, Clarabel and Henrietta who were most offended.

“How rude!” Grunted Annie.

“We won’t stay here to be insulted!” Replied Clarabel. Spike and Percy was furious.

“One more stupid stupid strike from her, And we’ll give her rubbish!” Growled Spike. Spike, Percy and Toby had to take them away and spend half the night soothing their hurt feelings. After pulling passengers all day, They went to sleep that night. They woke next morning feeling exhausted. Except for Twilight because it was Daisy’s turn to take passengers. Daisy, on the other hand, felt bright and cheerful. She and Twilight came out of the yard and back to Elsbreg station.

“Look at me.” She purred to the passengers. “I'm the latest diesel, highly sprung and right up to date. You won't need Thomas' bumpy old Annie and Clarabel, Now.”

“Knock it off, Daisy! This is no time for being a show off! It’s the time to be really useful!” Shouted Twilight reacting to Daisy. The passengers waited for Daisy to start. But, she didn't. Then, When she saw that a milk tanker was about to be coupled to her, She was most indignant.

Twilight, Darling, Do they expect me to pull that!?” She asked feeling unpleasant.

“Well, Of course.” Replied Twilight. “We’re only taking one tanker. Thomas and I always pull one van when we take passengers as well as delivering goods.”

“I will not!” Fumed Daisy. “Why can’t Spike and Percy do it? They love messing about with smelly trucks!” She then began to shudder violently and dangerously.

“Come on! Knock it off!” Said Twilight angrily. “Now, Back off!” Because of what Twilight said, She lurched backwards. She was so cross, Her motor blew a fuse

“Told you.” Said Daisy crossly. Twilight tried to reason with Daisy. But, it was no use. “Sorry. But, It’s my fitters orders.”

“Who is he?” Twilight asked.

“My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and exams me carefully. Daisy, he says, never never pull. You're highly sprung and pulling is bad for your swerves. So that's why I don’t pull trucks. So, There!”

“Stuff and nonsense!” Grunted the Station master crossly.

“I just don’t understand.” Moaned Twilight. “Whatever made Sir Topham Hatt of sending a rude diesel who acts like a rude feeble.”

“Feeble? Feeble!?” Gasped Daisy crossly. “Why you little!”

Come on! Stop arguing!” Called the station master. “The passengers are already late.” So, Twilight uncoupled the tanker and Daisy purred away feeling very pleased with herself. She can now enjoy her journey.

“That’s a good story.” She chuckled. “I'll do just what work I choose, and no more.” But, She said it to herself.

Percy’s Predicament

Daisy the Diesel Rail-car's work in the countryside was full of surprises. But she was frightened to bulls and cows, and she remained very lazy and stubborn. One day, Toby brought Henrietta to the station where Percy was grumbly shunting.

“Hello, Spike, Percy. I see Daisy's left the milk van behind again.” He said.

“She sure did!” Grumbled Spike.

“We’ll have to make a special journey with it I suppose.” Replied Percy. “Anyone would think we’ve nothing to do!”

“Tell you what?” Toby asked. “I’ll take Daisy’s milk train and you take care of my trucks.” Spike told Sir Tophom Hatt their idea and agreed.

“Okay. But, Be careful.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “Trucks can be trucks.” Spike and Percy had never been to the quarry before. They began ordering the freight cars about.

“Hurry along!” Ordered Percy. “We’re in a tight schedule here.” The troublesome trucks started grumbling to each other.

“What is this!? This is Toby's place!” Grumbled one of the trucks.

“Spike and Percy's got no right to poke their noses here and push us around!” Grumbled one of the trucks.

“Nya.” Snickered a third. “Who do they think we are, Say? Military person acts?” Soon, Percy got the trucks in line and set off.

“Come on, You rattlers! Move those wheels!” Said Spike.

“He’s right!” Replied Percy. “No nonsense!”

“Oh, We’ll give them nonsense.” Giggled the trucks. But because they pretended to follow orders so quietly, that Spike and Percy thought they were under control. When they came to a hill, they saw a notice ahead: All Trains Stop To Pin Down Brakes.

“Brakes, Please!” Whistled Percy. But before he could check them, the trucks surged ahead and went even faster!

“On! On! On!” They yelled.

“Whoa! Aaaagh! Slow down!” Cried Spike.

“Help! Help!” Whistled Percy. The man on duty at the crossing rushed to warn traffic with his red flag. But, was too late to switch Percy to the runaway sidings. At the yards, Sunset and Nia were waiting at a signal with a line of slate trucks. Frantically trying to grip the rails, Percy slid past the engine shed and into the yard.

“Percy, Look out!” Cried Spike.

“This isn’t going to end well!” Cried Percy and it didn’t end well. Percy smashed into the back of Sunset and Nia’s train and leaped on top of her trucks. No one was hurt. But, The break van was in smithereens and Percy was stranded.

“Boy. What a ride.” Panted Spike.

“Hey! Are you alright, Percy?” Sunset asked in surprise.

“Yeah.” Moaned Percy. “Now, I know what Rarity and James felt like when they got into trouble with trucks with their accident on the tar wagons.”

“You can say that again, Percy.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt when he arrived. “I told you to be careful. But, The troublesome trucks are more troublesome than you thought they were. These trucks have put us in a crazy predicament. I’m sorry to say this. But, we came get you back on the rails until we remove all this wreckage.”

“Yes, Sir.” Said Spike sadly. “Sorry, Sir.” Then, Sir Tophom Hatt spoke sternly to Daisy. He was cross. So was Twilight.

“My engines work hard on my railway and do not tell lies like you did!” He said sternly. “You have caused confusion and delay!”

“That’s right! You should be ashamed of yourself!” Replete Twilight and she did feel ashamed.

“However, Toby says you worked hard after Percy's accident. So, You shall have another chance.”

“Ok. I will work hard.” Said Daisy.

“I’ll help you, As well.” Added Toby.

“Excellent.” Said What Toby doesn't know about branch line problems isn't worth knowing. But, Our Toby's an experienced engine. Also, I have good news for you, Twilight. I’ve just heard that Thomas’ front has been repaired at the Steamworks.” Twilight gasped as she knew what he meant.

“You mean…… Thomas is coming back!?” She asked with excitement.

“Of course, He is.” Sir Tophom Hatt awnsered.

“YEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!” Squealed Twilight as she jumped in the air. The next day, Thomas came back, and Percy was sent to be mended. Twilight, Annie, and Clarabel were delighted to see Thomas again and he took them to a run at once. All were now friends, and Toby has taught Daisy a great deal. She shooed a cow the other day all by herself. That shows you, doesn't it?
