Contract

Hello, my name is Johnathon Star. I am the director of the London & North Eastern Railway on the Island of Sodor. I had 4 engines in those days, Thomas my cheeky little shunter. Gordon, my express engine. James, my mix traffic engine. And Hiro my heavy goods engine. They were a wonderful crew, always worked night and day.

It all started as usual, as I showed up to my engines very early, I had very good news for them.

Mr. Star: Good morning engines, I have very good news for you. After a lot of hard working, it looks like I managed us a shipping contract from the White Star Line called the Dutchess. This is a very big opportunity for us, so I hope we do well. If we do, White Star line, will send many cargo to the LNER but first we've got to prove ourselves. Thomas, you're in charge of organizing the trucks.

Thomas: Aye Aye sir.

Mr. Star: Hiro!

Hiro: Sir?

Mr. Star: You're leading.

Hiro: Yes sir.

Mr. Star: James you will be Hiro's back engine.

James: Yes Sir.

Mr. Star: And Gordon. the Duke and Dutchess of Boxford will be visiting us today, so I need you to pull them on the Express.

Gordon: No worries sir, I will be representable and on time.

Mr. Star: There is a good engine.

Our biggest Rival in those days was the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, under control of my old Rival, Mr. Nigel Zorro. With this Midis he was trying to find a way to get further ahead.

Mr. Zorro: Now listen to me and listen good. The Nor'easters are landing a Shipping contract. This is a huge opportunity for them and I am not happy.

Billy: We not smiling Mr. Zorro.

Mr. Zorro: I'm glad you don't find that funny, Billy. Now I want that contract, and you lot are going to get it for me.

Freddie: But how, thought that...?

Mr. Zorro: I don't expect you to think. You're the team, the best, the better looking, more perfect, and dare I say more devious.

Ferdinand: I like that about better looking.

Freddie: Yes but what's devious?

Mr. Zorro: What's devious is what's necessary to use during this time of corruption. Now I want that contract, and you are going to get it for me.

Billy: Don't you worry sir. We'll show those goodie goodie Nor'easters what's what, or my name ain't Billy.

Freddie: But if it is Billy, isn't it?

In the mean time, Gordon was at LNER station picking up the Duke & Dutchess. But that wasn't what I was worried about. I was worrie about that the Midis would try and take the contract or sabotage the train. So just in case, I sent Thomas to LMS Harbor, to shunt the trucks. While Thomas was shunting the trucks, he didn't notice 1337, the Midis diesel, put a cargo car on the main line for Hiro to crash.

Billy: Is everything in place?

1337: Yep. Hiro will definitely crash.

Thomas: What was that?

Billy: Nothing.

Thomas: That better be nothing.

Hiro was touring down the line to deliver the trucks to LMS Harbor. When he went down the Bridge, it happened.

* CRASH*

Thomas: Oh no Hiro.

I immediately went to inspect. Looked like Hiro damaged his piston cylinder and he won't be strong enough to pull the contract. After the Inspection, Jackman pulled Hiro back to the sheds. And lucky for me, Gordon returned from pulling his contract. After a short of time, Gordon, James and Thomas were at the docks, with Gordon and James to give them the signal to pull.

Thomas: Alright. On the count of 3. 1, 2, 3!!!!!!

The 2 engines started pulling the train, slowly but moving, they were about to leave the docks. Thomas decided to get out of the Harbor, by going the opposite way, under the Bridge.

Freddie: Doesn't sound like your plan worked Billy.

Billy: I am thinking right now you dummy.

Freddie: Thinking devious Billy.

Billy: No, just thinking contract. Look how slow their going. This gives me an idea.

Billy soon returned with a truck that wasn't coupled to him. When my engines left the Harbor, he began to start his new plan.

Billy: This is where we win the contract.

He bumbed the truck right at the back of the break van. As it bumbed the break van, causing the guard to break the train. Which made the train break the coupling system.

Gordon: Why is the train out of control?

After the inspection, my engines were unable to pull it. So they had to let the Ferdinand and 1337 take it. Billy thought no one saw it, but Jackman saw everything with his own eyes.

Mr. Star: Don't worry everyone, it wasn't your fault.

Gordon: The Midis got the contract. Hugh.

On the next morning, Gordon was replacing Hiro with the goods work, so Thomas took the passengers. When Jackman rolled in.

Jackman: Hello Thomas, what's up with the face?

Thomas: We had a little incident with the Dutchess yesterday.

Jackman: Might it have anything to do with the truck Bill threw behind the Brake Van.

Thomas: WAIT, you saw him do that?

Jackman: I saw him when I was by the crossing.

Thomas: Oh, I really can't wait for Mr. Star to hear about this.

At LMS Harbor.....

Mr. Zorro: So it turns out you were seen.

Billy: Impossible, I made sure.

Mr. Zorro: Don't argue with me you were seen. Now the Dutchess knows what you did meaning we don't win the contract, and we won't get payed for running their train yesterday. What's worse, we've been stuck with a huge fine, for damaging private property. WHAT KIND OF DUMMIES DO I HAVE WORKING FOR ME!

Freddie: Very Devious?

Billy: Shut up Freddie:

Ferdinand: We're sorry sir.

Billy: Yea sorry

Freddie: Sorry Mr. Zorro.

Mr. Zorro: SORRY, SORRY I DON'T WANT TO HEAR. GET OUT OF MY SITE! ALL OF YOU!

The story ends here, no I hope you learned something from this story. If you steal something that doesn't belong to you, you won't get away with it.
