Stolen Crown by the intruder, revealed to by Sunset Shimmer and the Magic Mirror.

It was a bright sunset around Equestria. The Mane 6 and Spike had arrived at the Crystal Empire.

"Hoo-wee! Your very first Princess Summit. You must be over the moon, Twilight!", Applejack cheers.

Twilight Sparkle answers Applejack, "Oh, I am excited, but, to be honest, I'm a little nervous too."

Pinkie Pie startles Twilight just gives her excitement.

"You're nervous-cited! It's like you want to jump up and down and yell, "YAY ME!", but you also want to curl up in a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time.", corrected Pinkie Pie, pretending to jump up and down, and curl like a ball. She then returns to her original position. "We've all been there."

Fluttershy joins in, saying "I'm there almost every day."

"You've got no reason to fret, Twi. Everything's gonna be just-"

"TWILIGHT!", Rarity screamed, startling Twilight and their friends. "Oh sorry, girls. I just realized Twilight's not wearing her crown. You haven't forgotten it back at Ponyville, haven't you?"

"It's in my bag." Twilight answers, as we see Spike with Twilight's luggage.

She then concerns, "Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it.", about her crown, and then about her new wings: "Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either."

"You are a princess now, Twilight. Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why I'd sleep in the thing." Rarity suggests.

As the Mane 6 goes inside, there are several guards on their left and right on the carpet who are doing the horn fanfare, with the three princesses waiting.

Twilight bumps into one of the guards, who was different than the rest of the guards, saying: "Her highness, Princess Twilight Sparkle!"

As the group then comes to the end of the room to meet the three royal princesses, that's when they meet.

"Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!" Cadence relieves, nuzzling her sister-in-law.

"We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey.", greeted Celestia to the Mane 6 and Spike.

"Now, off to bed, all of you." Celestia told them in a kind way.

In Twilight's and Spike's bedroom, they were preparing for sleep, but Twilight, laments about something, sighing to get Spike's attention.

"What's wrong, Twilight?", Spike asks.

"I don't know, Spike, I'm just worried, I guess. Princess Cadence was given the Crystal Empire to rule over.", Twilight explains. "What if now that I'm a princess, Princess Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?"

"That would be awesome!", Spike suggests.

"No, it would not! " Twilight grumbled, walking around, continuing to explain. "Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader."

"Now, come on. You should get some shut-eye. Big day tomorrow.", Spike finishes, while tucking Twilight to bed.

With Spike sleeping, he woke up suddenly due to Twilight's noises. They both see Twilight trying to get her wings calmed down.

"Can't...tuck! Just trying to get comfortable!", gritted Twilight, who finally got her wings calmed down.

Twilight groans in anger as the blanket falls back down on her. They came back down, back in their position.

As the opening credits end, the camera pans down from the title back to the Crystal Empire.

Laster in the middle of the night in a room a light shined quick and then the door slightly opened and a hooded pony look at the guard and was about to get past him. The pony then continued until the pony made it to Twilight's room and when in quiet.

See the crown the pony used magic to get to replace it with another one that looked the same, but the pony almost knocked over the lamb, but luck used magic to catch it and put it back.

However, the pony trip over Spike and woke him.

"Huh?" Spike yawned, "What?"

Twilight then woke up, yawning to see her crown in the mystery pony clock.

"My crown! She's got my crown! Stop! Thief! She's stolen my crown!" Twilight yelled, getting up and chasing after her.

The pony ran, but Twilight when after as both passed the other room as they opened their doors, and gasped.

"Stop!" yelled Twilight teleporting in front of the pony, only for the pony to do the same and the clock to land on Twilight. She got it all her look to see a yellow-coated unicorn with a red and yellow striped mane and tail.

The unicorn against to run and made it back into the room she came from, but Twilight tackled her and the crown bounced around a bit fore going through a mirror. "What did you do with my crown?" demanded Twilight as her friends arrived.

The yellow unicorn grinned and said, "Sorry it had to be this way... Princess."

Then she when through the mirror too. All gasped and Fluttershy was the one to ask who she was.

"Who was that?" Fluttershy asked.

In the morning Celestia explained about it and who that mysterious pony was.

"Sunset Shimmer. A former student of mine. She began her studies with me not long before Twilight. But when she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked, she turned cruel and dishonest." Celestia explained, "I tried to help her, but she eventually decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path. One that has sadly led to her stealing your crown."

"She replaced Twilight's with this one," said Spike holding up the fake crown as Celestia looked at it for a moment.

"I suppose Sunset Shimmer thought you wouldn't notice right away that this was not yours." Celesia said, "And by the time you did, it would be too late to go after your crown and Element of Harmony."

"But I don't understand. Where did she go? Why did she take the crown?" Twilight asked.

Celestia leads everyone out of the throne room.

"You'll soon know more about this place than even I do," Celestia informed.

Celestia then leads them in front of the mirror, where the other princess is. Princess Luna then explains about the mirror the crown and Sunset entered through.

"This is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to another world. A gateway that opens once a year" Luna said.

"Sparkly!" Pinkie giggled, as she touched the magic mirror.

Luna used his magic to move Pinkie away while rolling her eyes.

"It has always been kept in the throne room of Canterlot Castle, but when Princess Cadance took over the Crystal Empire, we sent it here for her to watch over," Luna explained.

"I had always hoped that Sunset Shimmer would someday use it to return, to come back to Equestria seeking my guidance." Celestria sighed, "Obviously, this is not what has happened."

"Twilight, you must use the mirror to go into this other world and retrieve your crown." Cadance said, "Without it, the other Elements of Harmony have no power, and Equestria is left without one of its most important means of defense," said Cadance.

"Your crown does not belong in the place Sunset Shimmer now calls home and in her possession, your Element of Harmony will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of this other realm." Luna said, "They will don't know the power that the crowns have and must not know."

"You understand the importance of your task?" Celestia asked.

"Of course," said Twilight.

"Good, then you must go at once," said Celestia.

Twilight sighed and moved forward, but Rainbow Dash landed in front of her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! She's going, we're going with her." Rainbow said, with the others beside her and Pinkie squee. "Right girls?"

" Oooh! I'm so 'nervicited'!" Pinkie said with joy.

"You do realize that's not a real word, right?" Applejack said with skepticism.

"I'm afraid I can't let you go," said Celestia.

"What! Why not?" Rainbow asked, confused as the others were too.

"Sending all of you could upset the balance of this alternate world, creating havoc that would make it impossible for Twilight to get the crown back from Sunset Shimmer." Celestia explained, "This is something Princess Twilight must do alone,"

"Time is of the essence. On the third day, when the moon reaches its peak in the night sky, the gateway will close." Luna said. " And once it does, it will be another thirty moons before you will be able to use it to return."

Twilight nodded and understand and was lucky she had all the time too. She moved up and stop in front of the mirror looking at it. She put her hooves through first then moved into it. Spike, however, was scared and nervous and ran forward too into the mirror as the girls yelled.

"Spike, NO!" The mane 5 yelled.

The Twilight and Spike were in a colorful vortex as they were heading to this other world.

Author's Note

Inspired by "Lego Equestria Girls" by Chronicler06 and "Thomas & Equestria Girls" by LPFanFic, I wanted to do my spin on the Original Equestria Girls plot with the Thomas Elements from the CGI era. I know I wanted to do the Models era since it's part of my childhood on Thomas, the CGI era of Thomas did a great job when it transitioned from Models to CGI when the Hero of the Rails Movie and 13th Season was around.

This Strange New World and a Blue Tank Engine guides them to Sodor.

Her eyes open to see train tracks with a ladybug crawling across them. Twilight was moaning in pain as we see this. We then see Spike in another form, which is not similar to a dragon, but zoomed-in due to her POV.

"Uh, Twilight?", Spike

"Spike?", Twilight says as she sees Spike in another form. "Are you a..."

We zoom out to his alternate form as he was a Class A6 "Boxcab" diesel-electric switcher.

"...Movable Metal Box?"

Spike then looks at his engine self and tries to move. Luckily, he started to move forwards and backward to get used to this strange body, but he looked at Twilight and know what she actually looked like.

"I think so, but...you might need to look at yourself right near that mirror...", Spike hesitates, confused about what she has become.

We then see her hoofs, but her hoofs turned to train buffers. And then... she looks at the mirror to know what she looked like.

Exit Twilight's POV

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!", Twilight screams, as the camera pans out to see Spike as a diesel boxcab and Twilight, in particular, as a Tank Engine (TVR O2 class 0-6-2). She tries to calm down, so as not to scream so much.

Twilight, with curiosity, tried her best to gain control of her Tank Engine form as she tries to figure out how to move in this heavy train form. She overreacts, then moves forward, bumping in front of Spike by accident, and finally pulls her breaks...

"Why does the rest of me look like... A TRAIN?!" Twilight screamed, about to overreact about her train form again.

"Well... we were on a train to arrive at the Crystal Empire. Your muzzle's very small.", Spike examines.

"My muzzle?!"

Twilight couldn't touch her muzzle, since she doesn't have arms. About to scream again, Spike used his horn to stop her screaming.

"Are you gonna scream again?", Spike fears.

Twilight nods no and Spike looks at her.

They all look around and see a Station with Steam Engines from their world, moving and chugging their way with trucks.

"Where are we?", Spike gulped.

"I don't know... This must serve as a gateway back to Equestria.", expected Twilight. She shakes her head, reminding her of her quest of getting the crown back. "We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there. I suggest we start searching around first."

Turning away from the magic buffers, they are astonished to see another view of a Big Station far ahead.

"I suppose we start searching the castle first!", imagined Twilight.

As Spike led Twilight out of the forest., she starts to move a little fast, even though she's an engine. Twilight then heard a while and a voice coming by. An bright blue "E2" Tank Engine was moving by with his two orange coaches when he noticed a purple steam engine and Boxcab Diesel he saw as they were out of the forest.

"Oh, Hello there! I'm Thomas!" The Blue Tank Engine said, revealing his name to be Thomas. "Are you two new around here? I love meeting new engines around Sodor!"

"Hi, there... uh... Thomas!" Spike shuddered, which made Thomas notice that these two have never been to this island before.

"Woah! I don't think I've ever seen anyone like you two before. Do you two live really far away?" Thomas asked curiously, since he's met new engines before, but has never seen Twilight and Spike before.

"Uh... of course Thomas..." Twilight said, nervously, but came up with an idea of where they came from to not reveal their secret. "My name is Twlight Sparkle... and this is Spike, the weird moving metal box thing...We came from a faraway railway called Steamquestria!"

"Steamquestria?" Thomas questioned. "I never heard a railway like that before... and I believe Spike is a Diesel Boxcab, but what brings you two here in Sodor?"

"Sodor?" Twilight and Spike questioned.

"It's an island we live around here, where each engine does their jobs and branch lines around the island," Thomas explained. "Would you two be to explore around Sodor with me to know what it's like to be on the island?"

"Oh, Sure thing, Thomas!" Spike said, now that he didn't studdered,

"Come on, guys. I do not want to be like this for longer than I have to." Twilight grumbled as she was getting a little impatient.

"Well, look on the bright side. You don't have those pesky wings to worry about anymore.", Spike encouraged.

Twilight gave Spike an angry look, but then looked at Thomas as he was confused about what Spike said.

"I mean... he was referring to the birds from the sky...", Twilight clarified but realized something she tried to do. "Ugh... My magic...isn't working!"

"Makes sense. You don't exactly have your horn.", Spike answered.

"WHAT!?" Twilight yelled since her hoar isn't there.

"Oh, don't worry about your little magic show, Twilight, it's time for you two to follow me," Thomas said happily, "Time to explore around the world of Sodor!"

Thomas whistled as he chugs his way to explore around Sodor to meet friends, engines, and everyone around, making Twilight and Spike follow the Blue Tank Engine as Twilight is trying her best to get used to her engine form, while Spike has gotten used to it.

The three then chugged out of the forest from the Magic Buffers, in the search for the crown but also exploring around Sodor as they were chugging. Twilight tries to slow down her balance as she briefly looked at Spike on her right just as confused as he is about all of this, realizing getting used to their engine forums, but managed to catch up with Thomas so that they don't miss out. Twilight smiled at him to thank him, since being an engine was strange at first but practice could do the trick, to which Thomas kindly returns with a smile in return before they continued forward.

"I've never seen a place

That's quite like this

Everything is turned around

This crazy world is upside-down

Getting on my wheels

It's the ashes that I was dealt

But I don't have much time with them

Got to learn all that I can."

Twilight sang in her mind as she chugged around the railway.

As they looked around as they traveled to Brendam Docks, Twilight and Spike saw the difference in how steam engines do things in this world compared to their world as they see one purple Class N2 shunting trucks around, two yellow twin Bagnall 0-4-0STs working together, a green Metro-Cammell Class 101/102 DMU diesel traveling though, a black Class 08 diesel-electric shunter Diesel performing some act to be rude to the steam engines, and another engine who was a Orange Manning Wardle L Class 0-6-0ST Chugging through with his trucks.

All the while, Twilight is the most interested and intrigued by all of this as she peers at a Green 0-4-0 saddle tank engine, which is Thomas' best Friend, Percy, bringing his mail to Brendam Docks. Noticing Thomas and his new friends, Percy introduced himself to them, which made Twilight and Spike happy that Thomas has made many friends around Sodor. Percy then says goodbye to them, as he chugs his way to the next station.

"They don't use any magic or fly with any wings

I don't get these heavy weights, moving wheels or tiny nose

Everything's confusing when it seems so new

But I look a little closer and it starts to feel familiar too."

Twilight sang in her mind as she walked around the railways.

As they chugged forward to the Skarloey Railway, a narrow gauge engine of Scootaloo was chugging by and used her whistle to Thomas and his new friends, while pulling logs of wood to which Spike got distracted. The narrow gauge versions of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle chugging after her. The two look at each in the confusion about what they had just seen.

"Is it me or did that look like the Cutie Mark Crusaders' other world counterparts?" Spike asked as he watched them run down behind them.

"Looks like it," Twilight answered just as surprised as Spike.

The trio then chugged to Henry's Forest, where she gets a good look at herself in her reflection on a mirror that was on a board as she stops to look at the mirror. Just then, a Big Green Engine comes into the forest to meet Thomas' new friends.

Apparently, Twilight whistled too loudly in Henry's Forest due to seeing a Green Stanier 5MT "Black Five" 4-6-0. right beside here as was surprised, which caused the animals to go on a ruckus and the Big Green Engine to react in shock, and scared as he chugged backwards out of there.

"Sorry, Henry! My new friends are looking around on Sodor!" Thomas apologized on Twilight's behalf as they quickly ran off from Henry's forest.

"What a strange new world (what a strange new world)

I'm trying to make heads or tails of this strange new world (what a strange new world)

Sorting through the small details of this strange new world

What a strange new world."

Twilight's mind sang as the trio explored around Sodor. Thanks to Thomas for introducing Twilight and Spike to the world of Sodor and meeting a few engines, it seemed Sodor is a place for anyone who are engines to work for the railway and meet the civilians around the island to see the engines. But now that Twilight and Spike know about Sodor now, they chuffed around with Thomas to hear two familiar voices in Peel Godred.

Author's Note

The next chapter will focus on Fluttershy & confronting Sunset, Sir Topham Hatt meeting Twilight Sparkle, and Spike shunting trucks to meet a Great Western Engine with a Break Van. Please message me if you have ideas for this story since I want this story to have Twilight meeting Thomas' Friends and the mane 5 engine counterparts.

Meeting Fluttershy the Shy engine by confronting Sunset and Sir Topham Hatt & Miss Celestia meets Twilight.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I-I just found it, and-and I thought I should give it to him. I didn't know you had." Fluttershy's voice spoke to someone just as timidly as pony Fluttershy.

The trio chuffed slowly through the nearby corner to where they see Fluttershy's engine counterpart who is an E 3/3 3 "Beinwyl", with a 0-8-0 wheel configuration. She was bringing coaches for her passengers when Sunset was in front of her, giving her a nasty glare.

"Fluttershy," Thomas spoke up recognizing who she is.

"And Sunset Shimmer," Twilight added with shocked and narrowed eyes as she found the engine who took her crown.

"Well, I did! And I was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't shunt up things that don't belong to you in the railway." Sunset scolded Fluttershy as she steamed out of place on her face.

"It... doesn't really belong to you, either." Steam Engine Fluttershy shyly retorted in a hushed tone.

"Excuse me?!" Sunset yelled in her face as she bumps her buffers onto her, causing Engine Fluttershy to use her breaks to prevent derailing, which she was backed up against. The passengers were worried about what could happen next if there was no engine that could end the argument.

"N-n-nothing..." Steam Engine Fluttershy stammered as her cheeks turned red for a moment, sparkling Twilight, Thomas, and Spike's anger at her treating Fluttershy like that.

"That's what I thought. It's as good as mine, and you know it. You really are pathetic. It's no wonder your best friends are all stray animals with your big green forest engine friend of yours." She further bullied Steam Engine Fluttershy as she bumps her buffers in her face to possibly derail her.

"How dare you speak to her that way!" Twilight bravely spoke to Sunset.

"What did you say?" Sunset angrily responded as she turns to face her.

"She said, How dare you speak to her that way!" Thomas repeated as he and Twilight glared at Sunset.

Sunset got into each other's faces as they glared down at each other with the passengers nearby cowering from the sight as they looked at Thomas and the two new engines. Spike just watched from behind her, glaring at Sunset as well.

As they two glared down at each other, Sunset then smirked as if she recognizes her as the engine she had just stolen from in the other world.

"You must be new here, and bringing in new friends, Thomas? Pathetic!" Sunset told her as she flicked her chin upwards as she walked ahead. "I can speak to anyone, any I want," Sunset added as she continued smirking and intimated one of the passengers with steam, making them angry and shouting at Sunset at her rude remarks, before chuffing off backwords as Thomas glares in her direction while Spike growls as they both show her their disdain towards her.

"I can't believe you did that!" Steam Engine Fluttershy said in amazement as she chuffed to them.

"I couldn't just stand there." Twilight simply replied, pumping enough steam from her funnel.

"Well, it's just that nobody, except Thomas, ever stands up to Sunset Shimmer." Steam Engine Fluttershy explained why it's surprising for anyone to do what she just did.

"Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked as she looked in her direction as she turned the corner.

"You've heard of her?" Steam Engine Fluttershy asked her as she was glaring in her direction. "Thomas has known her around when she first arrived in Sodor, causing many ruckuses and disasters around Sodor for her actions on the railway."

"Sort of..." Twilight half-truthfully said.

"I don't think I've seen you around before." She noted as she looked at her, who looks at her a little confused herself. "Did you just transfer to Sodor from another railway?" Steam Engine Fluttershy asked her.

"Yes, we did." Twilight smoothly answered as she turned to face her "My name's Twilight Sparkle."

"I'm... Fluttershy..." Fluttershy quietly said.

"Sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked again not hearing what she had just said.

"That's Fluttershy, Twilight." Thomas said, "She's the shyish engine around Sodor when she first arrived. She delivers supplies for Great Waterton and helps out with James' coaches for his passengers to arrive at different stations."

"Wait a minute, but how can that...?" Twilight tried to make out what she heard what Thomas said, as Engine Fluttershy eyes Spike the Boxcab Diesel.

"Oh, my goodness!" Fluttershy affectionately ran up to him with buttoned-up eyes. "Who's this sweet little diesel?"

"That's Spike! My, uh... diesel friend!" Twilight answered as she regained her mind when Fluttershy chugged near past her.

"Oh, he's so cute!" Steam Engine Fluttershy affectionately held Spike up closely and then offered him a tooting. "Go on, little diesel! You look too new around here."

Spike notices this and was taken that he is a small box diesel.

"Huh? I'm not that little." He spoke as he really enjoyed the treat and then use his horn to greet Fluttershy with a smile.

"Oh, wouldn't ya just give anything to know what they're really thinking?" Steam Engine Fluttershy told Twilight who rolled her eyes with Spike.

"If it's worth about being really useful engines," Thomas said with a meaningful expression, with Twilight having a deadpan expression that it takes something she really likes to get her to really talk and get excited about.

"Oh, w-what do you mean?" Fluttershy wondered what she meant by that as Spike was listing to the conservation.

"Nothing. Just thinking of what everyone like you would dream of." Spike answered as he nervously smiled.

"Anyways, Sunset Shimmer said you picked something up," Twilight spoke up wanting to get back on track on their mission. "Something that belonged to her."

"It wasn't a crown, was it?" Spike asked Steam Engine Fluttershy.

"How did you know?" Steam Engine Fluttershy asked in surprise.

"Uh, lucky guess?" Twilight replied with a nervous chuckle before smiling eagerly so they can go back in no time at all. "Do you still have it?"

"Mm-mm." Steam Engine Fluttershy answered, "But I don't have it anymore."

"But you know what happened to it," Thomas asked since he wants to know why Twlight needed a crown and had an idea of where to look next while still smiling.

"Mm-hmm. " Steam Engine Fluttershy again answered no as she explains. "This morning, I was chugging out my coaches for the passengers to arrive here along with flyers of animal shelter like I do every Wednesday around Sodor."

"Nice to see you care a lot whole for animals." Spike complimented.

"Thanks." Steam Engine Fluttershy thanked Spike for the compliment before continuing. "Only that no one else has the heart to even lift a finger up for them."

Steam Engine Fluttershy then sadly spoke as she recalled the memory of her crying depressed when no one would help her until the crown flies into her head to which she picks it up wondering what it is.

"I have no idea how it got there. But I didn't want anything to happen to it, so my drivers decided to give it to Sir Topham Hatt and Miss Celestia." Steam Engine Fluttershy honestly explained as she toots with Spike.

"Miss Celestia? She's the ruler here?" Twilight asked her. "And who in the world is Sir Topham Hatt?"

"Sir Topham Hatt is our railway Controller, Twilight," Thomas explained. "He wants all his engines and diesels to be working their hardest to keep the railway running safely and on time."

"And Miss Celestia along with her sister, Luna, takes charge of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway if he's on vacation." Fluttershy nodded, "Sir Topham Hatt has a good relationship with the two on managing the railway when he's gone to different places for a vacation."

"You could say that," Twilight answered as she is a little weirded out by her choice of words. "Technically, I guess she, Miss Luna, and Topham do make the rules in this railway."

"You'll have to forgive Sir Topham Hatt and Miss Celestia," Thomas told Twilight. "Because Sodor is more on the higher ends of royalty so it really takes some time to adjust around here when you're a new engine in Sodor. Also, if you cause an accident or get into trouble, you won't like it when Sir Topham Hatt and Miss Celestia see steam engines or diesels get into trouble."

This made Twilight and Spike gulp nervously. When Thomas was leading them to the world of Sodor, he once told them the story of how he got too cheeky by messing with Gordon by taking his coaches but got carried away when Toby told him that the signal was red, and when Emily pulled her breaks, Thomas stopped and Gordon's coaches derailed, leading Thomas that he made a mistake, thus, resulting Sir Topham Hatt to take his branch line away for a new engine to takeover, leading Thomas to work on the construction yard. Twilight never knew Sir Topham Hatt at first, but with Thomas' words on their Railway Controller, she knew that STP is an authority figure, but also a busy man who wants his engines to work their hardest to keep the railway running.

"Where are they now?" Twilight asked Steam Engine Fluttershy a little more urgently.

"Probably at Knapford Station," Fluttershy answered as Twilight and Spike go in opposite directions with Thomas telling them before the way, as he knew where Knapford Station is, as the two back to her wondering where to go. "Follow Thomas on the way, he knows where's he going." She told them.

"Thank you!" Twilight thanked and toots after her as she was about to follow Thomas to head to Knapford Station.

"Oh, wait!" Steam Engine Fluttershy called out to the trio just as they turned the corner, Thankfully, they stopped in their tracks before they completely ran off. "You're not really supposed to bring in another engine or diesel with you on railway grounds when doing your jobs on Sodor." Steam Engine Fluttershy told them pointing out at Spike.

"It's best to send them to the yards to shunt trucks, have them explore around by Railway rules, or get them to do the job. That's what every engine is doing around Sodor." Steam Engine Fluttershy added as she briefly showed them her animal companions in her driver's cab as they were getting used to the noises. "They're just told to do so by Sir Topham Hatt to keep the railway running, but it's so lonely when I'm in my branch line or job all day, which is why I brought my animals here for comfort."

"Oh, okay! Thank you!" Twilight again thanked Steam Engine Fluttershy for the advice as she and Spike follows Thomas with Annie and Clarabel behind him, thus, the bell rings in Peel Godred.

"Oh, no! I'm late for the next station!" Steam Engine Fluttershy exclaimed as she tells her animal companions to get in her cab and the passengers in the coaches before chugging off to her next station.

As Twilight and Spike followed Twilight by side, there were 4 people on top of the bridge with two holding their cameras when they heard Thomas found two new engines in Sodor.

"Hi, Thomas!" The man said, seeing Thomas with Twilight and Spike. "We like to take photos of the new engines, Twilight and Spike!"

"Can we get a quick picture with you with the new engines!" The other man said, who was delighted to see Twilight and Spike with Thomas. "It'll be nice to have a group picture of the three of you here!"

"Sure thing!" Thomas nodded and looked at Twilight, who was groaning and has to slow down to not let the photographers down, since she was in a hurry, "Don't worry, Twilight, they wanted to take a group photo, so let's give them a smile."

Spike agreed with Thomas as they smiled when they were ready to take the pictures. Sighing as to not let them down, Twilight gave a good smile for the photographers to take pictures of the three.

After a few quick photographs, the two photographers thanked them, however, they wanted to take more pictures of Twilight and Spike, which made Twilight irritated but Spike was happy to get some recognition with the locals on Sodor. Thomas informed that Knapford Station is close by so that he can arrive in time at Knapford.

At Knapford Station, there were four engines who are at Knapford Station. One is a Red Class 28 of a class of 0-6-0 mixed-traffic tender locomotive with a Number 5 on his tender, which his name is James, and a blue A1 class with a number 4 on his tender, which his name is Gordon. Henry and Percy were discussing about Thomas finding Twilight and Spike, with Gordon and James being skeptical about the new engines.

"Well, I hear this Twilight and Spike character is Purple like Rosie and Ryan." James said, "In my opinion, I don't think there aren't enough purple engines around Sodor."

"I don't suppose these two are fast." Gorden nodded. "One steam engine and a boxcab diesel wouldn't be able to reach up on my hill."

"Oh yes, she and he is," Percy said, jumping to the conservation. "Twilight and Spike could be fast when they travel with Thomas around Sodor. I saw Thomas bring Twilight and Spike to Brendam Docks to see the engines working there, and I had the chance to meet the two."

When Thomas arrived, his friends were already talking about Twilight and Spike around, since Percy wanted to spread the word around so that everyone wants to see the two.

"Twilight Sparkle? Spike?" The voice said, revealed to be the Fat Controller himself, Sir Topham Hatt, "What's all this talk about Twilight and Spike? I'd like to know what these two strange engines are doing on my railway."

"And it seems like Thomas is the only one who has seen them." Another voice said, revealed to be Miss Celestia, "I'd like to see these two with Sir Topham Hatt, Thomas."

"Well, they should be arriving pretty soon by now," Thomas said, nervously, since Twilight and Spike are behind but catching up after the photographs. "The thing with Twilight and Spike is that there were photographers taking pictures of the two when I first found them. Maybe we should just wait till they arrive at Knapford Station."

"Nah I can't Thomas, but me and Miss Celestia can't just forget about Twilight and Spike." Sir Topham Hatt said curiously, "Can you take me and Miss Celestia to see them please?"

"Well... Uh..." Thomas shuddered when he heard a whistle from behind, revealed to be Twilight Sparkle and Spike as they finally arrived at Knapford Station, "Oh! There they are, Sir!"

Sir Topham Hatt and Miss Celestia looked ahead and were astonished to know that Thomas was right. There was Twilight Sparkle chugging her way to make it in time to meet STP and Miss Celestia. James and Gorden were surprised to see Twilight but were not amazed to see Spike as a Boxcab Diesel, despite they have rivals and grudges against diesels.

"Sorry for the delay!" Twilight said, taking breaths as she and Spike arrived just in time to meet STP and Miss Celestia, "There were many photographers taking pictures of me and Spike since Thomas lead us around Sodor."

"Oh, so you must be Twilight. Percy and Heney were talking about you with your little diesel boxcab, Spike." Sir Topham Hatt said, and greet themselves, "I'm Sir Topham Hatt, and this here is Miss Celestia. I am a busy man, Miss Celestia is also a busy woman, where she and her sister look over the railway when I'm on vacation, and this is a very busy railway."

"And since Thomas was the one to found you and Spike, Sir Topham Hatt will expect you and Spike to be a really useful engine and diesel, right away." Miss Celestia added, "So... since Thomas has found you and Spike, Edward would show you and Spike what to do on being really useful engines in Sodor."

"That's great, Miss Celestia." Twilight said, grinning at her and STP but her mind was surprised that Celestia wasn't an Engine. "But... did you have to stumble across a crown that Fluttershy found?"

"Yes. I've had Luna put it somewhere for safekeeping." Miss Celestia asked. "No idea how it ended up on the track."

"Were you interested in running for the Sodor Formal Race this year?" Sir Topham Hatt asked Twilight.

"Sodor Formal Race?" Twilight asked, playing along. She didn't think the Railway Controller would believe her if she said the crown was hers.

"It's Sodor's big event for engines who could race the fastest engines of Sodor history," Miss Celestia explained.

"Like the Grand Galloping Gala," Twilight said, bringing up good memories for her.

"Uh, what Grand Galloping Gala?" Sir Topham Hatt asked, a bit confused.

"Oh, uh, it was a big deal at my old railway," Twilight said quickly.

"And was there a princess?" Celestia asked curiously.

"Yes, but she wasn't exactly a steam engine." Spike clarified.

"Here at Sodor, the engines select one of their peers to represent them for the race." Miss Celestia explained, pointing to a wall that had previous winners, and the last three were occupied by Sunset Shimmer, making Twilight scowl a bit and Spike nervous. "She receives her crown and trophy at the Sodor Forma Race if they're in first place."

Twilight then got an idea.

"So, when is the Sodor Formal Race?" Twilight asked.

"In two days." Thomas said, as he approached closely to the conservation. "Everyone is finishing up their jobs right now and are preparing for the race when it's settled."

"Can anyone run?" Spike asked, seeing a plan forming.

"Yes. You just need to let the head of the Sodor Formal planning committee know you'd and your friends would participate for the race." Miss Celestia asked. "Was there anything else?"

"Um, nope! That was it!" Twilight answered as she and Spike are smiling.

"Well, if you do need anything else, Sir Topham Hatt and I will always be in Knapford Station," Miss Celestia said as she leaves to go inside her office behind Twilight.

"You two should be in the yard by now." Sir Topham Hatt said, "Edward is expecting you two and will help you how to be really useful."

"Right, Sir." Twilight nodded, as Sir Topham Hatt goes into his office.

"Twilight, why didn't ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back?" Spike asked.

"Oh, I was going to, but imagine if one of them showed up in Equestria saying they came from a place filled with big heavy, metal, wheels with boxes on them with a face on their funnels with these? We'd think they would be crazy!" Twilight told Spike, looking at her buffers before looking at Thomas and his friends, who was wondering what Twilight was mumbling about. "I mean... I was just rambling about my day dreaming of myself being a pony from another world, Thomas"

"I see... You must've been tired form your railway, huh, Twilight?" Thomas said, slightly confused but brushes off if Twilight was lying. "Beside, I don't think there are unicorns or Pegasus in Sodor... You have been day dreaming right, Twilight?"

"Hmm. You make a good point," Spike stated and turned to Thomas. "Twilight tends to day dream a lot of herself being a pony. She's just tired from her old railway being too busy, Thomas."

"Looks like if I want my crown back, I'll have to become the Princess of the Sodor Formal Race!" Twilight considered. "So that's what I'm gonna do!"

"That's an excellent idea!" Thomass rejoiced.

"What is?" Percy interrupts.

"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Gordon asks about her plan.

"I have no idea." Twilight answered, still smiling due to her considered idea.

"You have to prove to Sir Topham Hatt and Miss Celestia that you're a really useful engine to participate, Twilight." James laughed, "Besides, Spike doesn't look like he could be competing as he could be slow, but I'll be competing with Gorodn for the Sodor Formal Race, to show my splendid red paint around the race!"

"We'll see about that, James." Gordon said, sternly at him, "We'll have to finish our jobs first before the race."

With that, Gordon and James puffed away as their signals have turned green to go on their next destination. Thomas then says goodbye to Twilight as he has to focus on his Branch Line along with Percy. Twilight and Spike however, are now arriving to Knapford Yards, where one engine is expecting their arrival.

Author's Note

There was a debate if I were to include Celestia as an engine or the EQG version of her but the Sodor version wearing a different outfit to be with STP to meet Twilight. But since this alternate take of Sodor features the Mane 5 as the Engines, it's best to have Celestia's role be more human than an engine tbh.

Also, for Spike, the original idea for Spike on Sodor is to have him be a Breakvan, but since that's been done before and Toad already existed, I wanted Spike to be a Boxcab since Phillip was the reason I had to come up with a different approach for Spike

The Oliver & Toad part will be in the next chapter lol. Had to cut it here since I feel it would be expanded more for a next chapter.
