Thomas & Friends – North Western Railway Adventures

Episode 33: Two Tank Engines, One Heart

Written by Cameron Stevens

Based on the Railway Series by the Reverend W. Awdry and the Television Series by Britt Allcroft

Fiona the Scottish tank engine has enjoyed her life on the North Western Railway. She worked on Thomas’s Branchline over the past most months attending passenger services with her coaches Bob and Frederick.

But ever since she arrived at the railway, she had always grew fond of Thomas by having a major crush on the engine of her dreams. She had heard about his fame ever since the Reverend made a book about him and had longed to confess her true feelings to the famous blue tank engine himself.

But every time she tried, she was too scared to confess her love to Thomas. But with Emily, Twilight Sparkle and Banana Fluff the pony working with her, they understood how she felt whenever she is around the blue tank engine.

She could only hope to confess her true feelings to Thomas someday soon.

One morning, Thomas pulled into Ffarquhar for his morning train. Twilight Sparkle and Spike were in his cab working with him. They have enjoyed their stay on the railway and loved working with Thomas very much.

The sun was shining brightly today, but they could tell that it had rained over night knowing that the station platform looked quite damp.

“Brrr! It’s always so cold in the mornings!” Shivered Thomas. “I don’t even think my boiler could keep me warm!”

“I suppose I could try my magic.” Smiled Twilight Sparkle. “But I don’t think it would be enough.”

“I could try my fire breath.” Suggested Spike. “But I only tend to burp out my fire in case Princess Celestia sends us letters.”

But before he could do just that, Fiona pulled in with Banana Fluff in her cab.

“Good morning, Tommy.” Smiled Fiona blushing a little. She was always happy to see Thomas.

“Good day, Fiona.” Replied Thomas.

“Good morning, Banana Fluff.” Smiled Twilight Sparkle. “How have you been?”

“I’m doing very well with Fiona, thank you.” Grinned Banana Fluff bowing before her.

But before they could start their friendly chat, the yard manager quickly ran up feeling very worried and serious.

“Thomas and Fiona, there’s trouble at the bridge near Anopha Quarry!” He panted worryingly. “Mavis and her train is on a broken bridge and is now in danger of collapsing!” Thomas, Fiona, Twilight Sparkle, Banana Fluff and Spike were now horrified!

“I knew why the Fat Controller aid to us we need to sort out the damp wooden supports because of this last night’s rainy weather!” Objected Spike.

“Please, Thomas and Fiona, you have to go and rescue her and her train!” Begged the yard manager.

“Right away, sir.” Agreed Thomas. “There’s no time to lose!”

Twilight Sparkle used her magic from her horn and uncoupled Thomas from Annie and Clarabel and then they with Fiona and Banana Fluff quickly rushed off to the rescue.

They soon arrived at the scene of the disaster. The river below the bridge had turned into a rushing torrent from the hillsides and made the supports of the bridge very damp and was about to collapse.

Mavis, along with a pony named Braeburn were scared and wouldn’t dare move in case the bridge would collapse and take the stranded casualties with them.

The workmen along with Harold the Helicopter and with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flying over head to help out, they could wait for help to arrive soon and to arrive quickly before disaster struck for the quarry diesel engine.

Thomas and Fiona soon arrived just in time. They both saw the problem.

“What shall we do, Tommy?” Asked Fiona.

“We shall wait for our orders from the foreman to give us.” Explained Thomas. “It’s only a matter of time to rescue Mavis and Braeburn.”

Fiona looked at Thomas and blushed. It was the most sensible idea she heard from the engine of her dreams. “He really is very clever with ideas.” Whispered Fiona to Twilight Sparkle.

“Why yes.” Grinned Twilight Sparkle. “They didn’t call him a “Really Useful Engine” for nothing, you know.” Fiona couldn’t agree more.

So the plan to rescue Mavis, Braeburn and the train was thought of. Thomas was to pull Mavis while Fiona pulls the train clear off the bridge to safety.

Thomas was the first to pull Mavis off the bridge. A strong chain was fastened from him and Mavis. The guard blew his whistle to signal that all was ready and he pulled Mavis carefully and slowly off the bridge.

“Thank goodness you came and rescued me, Thomas!” Sighed Mavis with relief.

“Eeyup!” Agreed Braeburn. “Ah don’t know what we could’ve done without you and you’re pals!”

Now it was Fiona’s turn. A strong chain was fastened onto her coupling from Mavis’s trucks. The guard blew his whistle and slowly but surely, Fiona started to pull her train to safety.

But suddenly... it happened..! The bridge suddenly started to collapse into the thundery water that made the bridge far too damp and pulled the trucks into the water!

“Losh sakes!” Cried Fiona on horror! Banana Fluff slammed the brakes hard on, but the chain between her and the trucks broke as the trucks disappear into the water leaving Fiona and Banana Fluff dangling over the abyss.

“HELP!!!” Cried Fiona.” “PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!”

“SOMEPONY HELP US!!!” Screamed Banana Fluff.

“FIONA!!!” Cried Thomas in horror! “Hold on!” I’ll save you!

“Thomas, wait!” Exclaimed Twilight Sparkle. “It’s too dangerous!”

“I don’ care about danger!” Protested Thomas. “I care about helping a friend in need! I’m going in to save her!”

He carefully puffed on the bridge and came up behind Fiona who was dangling over the water. He knew he can never put Fiona’s life at risk and must save her from a watery grave.

Twilight Sparkle used her magic from her horn and coupled up Fiona to Thomas’s hook and slowly pulled her to safety.

At last, Thomas had pulled Fiona off the bridge just in time to witness the destruction of the bridge as it disappeared into the raging river below. Fiona and Banana Fluff were safe!

“You’re safe, Fiona!” Smiled Thomas. “HOORAY!!!”

Everyone was all proud of Thomas! They all gave him their three cheers for the blue tank engine.

“Well done, Thomas!” Cheered the workmen.

“Yes, well done, Thomas! Called Harold and Rainbow Dash.

“Well done, Thomas..!” Whispered Fluttershy.

“Well done, Thomas!” Grinned Mavis and Braeburn.

“Well done, Thomas!” Smiled Twilight Sparkle and Spike.

Thomas beamed broadly with pride. He never had been given such good praises before.

Fiona remained silent, but smiled Thomas and blushed bright red on her face. She had never been rescued from Thomas before. She sighed romantically quietly. “Tommy saved my life...” She thought dreamily.

Later that day back at the sheds, Thomas and Fiona took Mavis back and were being checked up for any damage on her. The Fat Controller kindly came to see him and Twilight Sparkle. He was congratulating them for their brave efforts.

“Once again, you have shown the whole railway that you are indeed a really useful engine, Thomas.” Smiled the Fat Controller. “And I am very proud of you and Twilight Sparkle. For your reward, you shall have a fresh coat of paint as well as a much needed visit to the Sodor Steamworks.”

“Thank you, sir! Thank you!” Smiled Thomas. “That would be very nice!”

“Yes indeed, sir.” Blushes Twilight Sparkle. “Thank you!”

The Fat Controller then spoke kindly to Fiona. Fiona was grateful for Thomas rescuing her, but she was worried of what he’ll say about her losing Mavis’s trucks.

“Now, Fiona. I can honestly say that the accident of losing the trucks wasn’t really you’re fault. But you did you best to rescue them even though you lost their goods.”

Fiona smiled sheepishly feeling a little happier. “Thank you, sir.” Smiled Fiona. “But I am sorry for losing the trucks.”

“It’s alright, Fiona.” Smiled the Fat Controller. “A mistake any engine could make. The important thing for an engine is that she is safe and sound rescued by a fellow engine.”

Fiona couldn’t agree more. She looked at Thomas and blushed bright red on her cheeks.

The next morning, Fiona watched Thomas puff out of the yard and headed of to the Sodor Steamworks for his reward. Fiona couldn’t help but watch him as he disappeared through the tunnel.

“Oh... he’s so brave...” Sighed Fiona. “I do love him, it’s just I’m too scared to admit it myself. I hope I could have enough courage to tell him how I feel about him soon.”

“I’m sure you will, Fiona.” Comforted Banana Fluff. “I mean, I’m looking for a coltfriend myself and I’m still too shy to ask one myself.”

“I guess so...” Said Fiona softly.

Over two days, Thomas has enjoyed his visit at the Sodor Steamworks. Victor and Kevin the Sodor Steamworks Engines were there to give him some company.

“You’ll soon be back at the Branchline tomorrow, my friend.” Smiled Victor. “Kevin is just delivering some more paint for you.”

“Thank you, Victor.” Smiled Thomas. And he watched Kevin the Crane Engine that lifted some more paint pots and carefully lifted them to the ground without spilling a drop!

The next morning, Thomas was due to return back to the Branchline again and set out of the Steamworks, puffed out of Crovan’s Gate and made his way down the mainline towards Knapford Junction.

The line before Ffarquhar and the tunnel runs through a small valley. The engines were always a bit nervous about that hill because some rain could cause the hill to make landslides. But since it rained heavily overnight, the hill is going to cause an avalanche!

Thomas, with Twilight Sparkle and Spike in his cab were puffing up the line towards the tunnel unaware of the danger ahead.

Suddenly, just as they were about to enter the tunnel, the landslide fell down the hill much to Thomas, Twilight Sparkle and Spike’s horror!

“CINDERS AND ASHES!!!” Cried Thomas!

The landslide fell and hit Thomas and covered the mud all around Thomas! Thomas, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were now stuck! It was now impossible for him to move out of the mud because they were stuck within his wheels.

“Oh no!” Cried Thomas! “I’m stuck!”

“Now what can we do?” Asked Spike. “Thomas’s wheels are stuck in the md and he can’t move!”

“We’ll go back and get help.” Said Twilight Sparkle. “Ffarquhar is not too far away.”

“Stay right here! Don’t go anywhere!” Said Spike. And he followed Twilight Sparkle as they followed the line back to Ffarquhar.

“Very funny...” Groaned Thomas uncomfortably. “Please hurry, Twilight...”

Back at Ffarquhar, Fiona was at the station with her coaches Bob and Frederick waiting for the guard to blow the whistle and wave his green flag, until she and Banana Fluff saw Twilight Sparkle and Spike in the distance.

“Huh? Twilight Sparkle?” Asked Banana Fluff. “What’s she and Spike doing here?”

“Fiona... Banana Fluff...” Panted Twilight Sparkle. “Thomas... is in trouble... close to... the tunnel...”

Fiona gasped. “No!” She cried. “Not my Tommy! I must go and help him!”

“We... need... a breakdown crane... then...” Panted Spike before he fainted from exhaustion.

“We better go right away!” Said Banana Fluff. So Twilight Sparkle and Spike hopped in Fiona’s cab and set off to collect the branch line crane and set off to the scene of the disaster.

When they arrived, Thomas was very pleased to see Fiona. “Oh Fiona!” Sighed Thomas with relief. “Thank goodness you’re here!”

“Don’t worry, Tommy!” Said Fiona. “We’ll have you oout in no time!”

The situation only took ten minutes, but at last, Thomas was pulled out of the mud and he was very grateful for Fiona’s efforts.

“Oh, Fiona...” Sighed Thomas. “Thank you for helping me to get out of this mess.”

Fiona blushes again. But then she had a thought. This could be the perfect chance to finally confess her love to Thomas at last. She was very scared at doing so, but she has to face her fear.

“Thomas...” She said softly. “Ever since I heard you’re fame and came to this railway... I... I always been interested in you and have always wanted to work alongside you... you’re my favourite engine and I really would want to spend every day of my life with you...”

Thomas was very surprised and remained silent for seven seconds and then much to Fiona’s surprise, he smiled.

“I know what you mean, Fiona.” He said. “I never had an engine that looked up to me like that before and I would like to thank you for standing right beside me and helps out with my problems. I would accept you’re offer to be your boyfriend.”

Fiona was very overjoyed!!! “OH, THOMAS!!!” She exclaimed happily with heavy tears streaming down her cheeks. “Thank you!” She was now very happy that she had finally confessed her love at last. Even Thomas was happy too.

The Fat Controller arrived and had heard everything. He was very proud of Thomas and Fiona, but he congratulated Fiona for her brave efforts as well.

Even Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Banana Fluff along with Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Cameron/Guardian Soul arrived and heard everything too.

“Aw...” Whispered Fluttershy. “This is so romantic...”

“It sure is, sugarcube.” Grinned Applejack.

“That’s just like the both of us, Dashie.” Smiled Cameron/Guardian Soul.

“Oh you...” Chuckled Rainbow Dash getting closer to the blue pony.

“I am proud of you two.” Smiled the Fat Controller beaming broadly. “But I am mostly proud of you Fiona. You have saved Thomas and showed the whole railway you can be a Really Useful Engine too.” Fiona blushed again for the sixth time that week.

“For your reward, you will be mended at the Sodor Steamworks, polished, painted and a much needed visit as well.” Finished the Fat Controller. “It goes to show that even when disaster strikes, you can still lend a helping buffer even when you’re the closest of friends.”

All the engines and ponies cheered.

"Well done, Fiona!" Smiled Applejack and Rarity.

"Well done, Fiona!" Called Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, well done, Fiona!" Called Cameron/Guardian Soul and Banana Fluff.

"Well done Fiona!" Smiled Thomas. And he gave her a long friendly toot of his whistle.

That was high praise that made Fiona smiled and thought that this was a day well seized. She looked at Thomas blushing brightly and giggled quietly.

Thomas and Fiona are now as happy as they can be. Both engines would work happily together for some of the time and would whistle to each other every day when they saw each other.

Their friends Percy, Toby, Billy, Mavis, Daisy, Harrison, Bertie and Terrance heard the story and they were all proud of them too.

Even Twilight Sparkle and the Mane Six heard about the story and they told their friends around the railway about it too. They were also proud and happy of Thomas too.

But the important thing that made Fiona the happiest engine of all, was that she had finally confessed her love to the engine of her dreams at last.

THE END!
