A long time ago, in the railway of Swindon, London, there was a little tank engine. Her name was twilight, she works on the railway with her Auto coaches luna and midnight and sometimes pull goods train with her brakevan spike. Twilight been working on it for many years along with her brother shining armor. They work well together for many years, until dieselization, the diesels have replaced steam engines.

The next morning, when twilight was getting ready for her passenger train until shining armor came up.

"Twily! Twily! Guess what, I've been bought from the east lansher railway" said shining armor excitedly.

"Wow shining, that's really good. I wish I was preserved too." Said twilight

"I'm sure you get a chance. I better get going, goodbye twily and I wish you good luck with a new home" said shining armor and then he set off to his new home.

Later that day in her sheds, the manager told twilight the bad news.

"What do you mean by I'm withdrawn?!?" Twilight asked shocked.

"The controller doesn't have the money to sell you, I'm sorry" said the manager and walked away.

Twilight was upset, she felt like this is the end of the line for her. As she told her coaches and brakevan, they was upset.

"Oh dear, that's terrible" said Luna.

"I agree with you deer" midnight agree.

"This is the end, is it?" Spike asked.

"Yes, it is" twilight said sadly.

Chapter 3: north western rescue

It's been two weeks in the scrapyard and twilight was upset.

"I'm sorry I dragged you three into this, I really thought we could make it" said twilight crying.

"Don't blame yourself twilight, you did your best" said spike comforting her.

"Oh I just wish I could have done more" said twilight.

Just then her crew came up, they have news.

"I got some good news and bad news, the good news is sodor is not that far but the bad news is without coal, we can't make it" said her driver.

"If only a survival member of a steam engine that could help us" said her fireman.

But then, they hear a steam engine whistle. They looked to see a emerald green single tender engine. Then, twilight had an idea.

"I must hiss steam to get that engine's attention, it's now or never" said twilight.

****

As she hiss steam, the engine stopped. She hear her steam hissing.

"That sounds like a steam engine" said the engine.

The hiss came again.

"Who's there?" The engine asked.

"Are you a north western engine?" Twilight asked.

"Yes I am, I'm emily" said the engine known as Emily.

"Oh thank goodness, I'm twilight and I'm here with my coaches luna and midnight, and my brakevan spike, we run out of coal and had no more steam" twilight explained her situation.

"But what are you doing here?" Emily asked.

"We're trying to get to your railway, it's a safe haven for steam engines, we're escaping" twilight replied.

"Escaping? From what?" Emily asked.

"Sc... scrap" twilight answered nervously.

Emily thought for a moment and then she smiled.

"Don't worry twilight, I'm going to get you and your coaches and brakevan out of here" said Emily.

"Really? You mean it?" Twilight asked happily.

"Of course, but we need to work fast to get you guys out of here" Emily replied.

Soon both their crew agreed to help too, everyone worked fast. Emily was coupled up to twilight.

"No time to turn around, I'll run tender first" said Emily and they set off out of the sidings and down the line.

As they puffed down the line, the diesel saw them escaping.

"Oi, the steam engine's escaping! Stop them!" The diesel shouted.

"Pay no attention" said Emily

As they about to escape the scrapyard, they were stopped.

"Oh no, we're done for" said twilight worried.

"Don't worry, we got this" said Emily.

The foreman shine his light on twilight, her coaches and brakevan.

"Ah ha! A tank engine, two Auto coaches and brakevan too, you can't take these" said the foreman.

"But they're are all for us, see for yourself" said Emily's driver.

The foreman looked all over twilight, Luna, midnight and spike.

"Seems in order, right away guard" said the foreman.

As the guard blows his whistle, Emily sent off with twilight, her coaches and brakevan in tow. At last, they made it out of the scrapyard and over the border to the north western railway.

"That was close" Emily relief.

"We had worse" replied twilight and they forged ahead to sodor.

That night, twilight's crew woke her up in the middle of the night.

"Huh?... Wha.... What's going on?" Twilight asked confused.

"Come on old girl, we're getting you out of here, we're leaving" said her driver.

"Leaving? Where are we going?" Twilight asked.

"To the island of sodor" her fireman replied.

"It's our only hope and it's a worth a shot" her driver added.

"Twilight? What are you doing?" Spike asked.

"We're going to the island of sodor" twilight explained, "how long it will take to get there?"

"About 300 mile journey, but we must run at night so we don't get caught. Trains get up and run from 1-5:00. We'll find a place to hide during the day and continue at night." Her driver explained.

Soon twilight was ready, she got her coaches and her brakevan and she set off through the night. She went past cities, yards, and valleys. They stopped at a station to hide in a old shed. It was daylight and twilight hear a lot of diesels running about. Twilight kept quiet until night, but she wasn't afraid.
