Thomas' Valentines Day suprise

It was Valentines Day on the Island of sodor. And love was in the air. All the engines were excited. There was going to be a big festival at Great Waterton. And there was also to be a Valentines Day special. All the engines wanted to pull it, but they knew Sir Topham Hatt would chose only one of them to pull it. Thomas and Stanely were drinking some colas. Then Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

Thomas: Hello sir.

Stanely: Would you like some of our cola sir?

STH: No thank you Stanely. I'm going on a diet. Anyway, I've come to tell you both your jobs for the day. You are both to work at the coaling plant getting trains ready for Donald and Douglas. And then later I will chose someone to pull the Valentines Day special.

Thomas was excited. He hoped he would be chosen. Sir Topham Hatt drove away. Just then, Emily puffed up right next to Thomas. She was on her way to the docks to get Henry's train ready for him.

Thomas: Hello Emily!

Emily: (Blushes)

Emily was so nervous she puffed quickly away without a word. Thomas was confused.

Stanley: Come on thomas. Let's race to the coaling plant. Loser has to do Sir Topham Hatt's laundry for the whole weekend.

Thomas: You're on! And there's no way I'll lose to you and have to mess his undies buddy.

Thomas/Stanely: Ready, GO!

Thomas and Stanely were each determined not to lose. Meanwhile, Emily was on her way to the docks. But she couldn't stop thinking about Thomas. Thomas and Emily had been good friends for a while. But lately Emily has begun to really like him. Not just as a friend, but something more. But she didn't know how to explain her feelings for him. Then, an idea flew into her funnel.

Emily: I know. I'll give him a special suprise for Valentines Day. That should prove my love for him.

So Emily didn't go to the docks. Instead, she went down the branch line to get some info. Emily soon found Oliver and Duck playing ping pong. Toad was the score keeper. And the score was tied at 6 points.

Toad: Alright Mr. Oliver and Mr. Duck. Whoever gets this point wins.

Duck/Oliver: Let's do this!

Emily: Hello! What are you doing?

Duck: We're playing ping pong.

Oliver: What are you doing anyway?

Emily: I want to get Thomas a suprise for Valentines Day. Then maybe, he will realize my love for him.

Duck: Well, why not do something fun with him?

Oliver: (hits ball past Duck) I WIN!

Duck: HEY! You cheated!

Oliver: No I didn't.

Toad: It's all over then. Mr. Oliver wins.

Duck: Oh yeah? We'll see about that.

Emily: While you two fight, I'm gonna get more info. Bye

Duck/Oliver/Toad: Bye then.

And Emily puffed away. Soon, she saw Molly. She was having a polishing and she looked grand. Emily and Molly were good friends.

Molly: Hi!

Emily: Oh hey Molly. What you all shiny for?

Molly: I have a hot date with James tonight at the festival. So I want to look my best. What are you up to?

Emily: I want to get Thomas a special suprise for Valentines Day. Then maybe he will realize my love for him. Do you have any thoughts?

Molly: Oh dear, looks like you're in love with him. Well, you could ask him out on a date. Or kiss him or even make a nice poem or give him some fowers. I've seen many people do that when they're in love.

Emily: Hmm. Ask him on a date. Well I hope your date goes well.

Molly: Good luck.

Emily came to a junction. Rosie was there. She and Emily were also good friends.

Rosie: What's the matter Emily? You should be happy since it's Valentines Day.

Emily: I'm in love with Thomas and I want to give him a special suprise for Valentines Day.

At first, Rosie was jelous, but she then saw that Emily was in a desperate need. So, she helped.

Rosie: Why not do a special job with him like the Valentines Day special?

Emily: Job?! Oh no! I was supposed to be at the docks. I'm going to be late!

Emily puffed as fast as she could to the docks. But she didn't pay attention to what she was doing. Then there was trouble. Emily went down a flooded track. And the water put out her fire. Emily was stuck.

Emily: Oh dear, now I'll never give Thomas a suprise.

Emily felt terrible.

Emily: If only I had told Thomas earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Stanely's race had ended with a tie. Now nobody had to do Sir Topham Hatt's laundry. Soon, the trains where ready.

Donald: Now that's what we call good work.

Douglas: Aye. Thank you wee lads.

Thomas/Stanely: Thank you.

Sir Topham Hatt arrived with bad news.

STH: Emily has not arrived at the docks. Herny will be late.

Thomas was worried.

Thomas: We must find her.

Thomas and Stanely went off with Sir Topham Hatt to look for Emily. Soon Thomas came towards the flooded track. And there was Emily.

Thomas: Emily? What are you doing here?

STH: Why weren't you at the docks?

Emily: Thomas. I have to tell you something.

Thomas: What is it?

Emily: Well, Thomas. We've been great friends for a while right?

Thomas: Yeah.

Emily: Well, I really like you. Not just as a friend. But something more.

Thomas: So that's why you blushed this morning when I said hello.

Emily: Yes. I was too nervous to express my love for you, so I wanted to get you a special suprise for Valentines Day. But I ended up in this mess.

Thomas: Well Emily, I too have a confession. For I also had the same feelings for you.

That made Emily very happy.

Emily: So, would like to go out with me?

Thomas: Sure.

Wheel turn by wheel turn, Thomas chuffed into the flood. The water was up to his buffers. Thomas didn't give up.

Thomas: I'll make it.

Soon Thomas and Emily's buffers were touching.

Emily: (Blushing)

Then Thomas pulled her slowly and carefully out of the water.

STH: Emily, do you want Thomas?

Emily: Yes sir. More than anything in the world.

STH: Then, how would you both like to pull the Valentines Day special?

Emily: Oh thank you sir! But what about my day's jobs?

Stanely: I'll do your jobs for you.

Emily: Thank you Stanely.

Thomas: Yeah thanks man.

STH: Then it will be arranged.

So, Stanely did Emily's jobs, and Thomas had Emily restoked with dry coal. Then they collected the Valentines Day special. They were having a wonderful time together. Soon they reached Great Waterton. All the children were pleased to see Thomas and Emily together as a couple.

That night, Thomas and Emily watched the fun of the festival by each other's sides with the other engines.

Emily: It's beautiful.

Thomas: So are you.

Emily: (blushes)aww. I love you Thomas.

Thomas: I love you too Emily.

Emily closed her eyes and puckered up her lips. Thomas knew she wanted him to kiss her, so he pressed his lips up to hers. Emily felt a thousand thoughts in her head. She was kissing the engine of her dreams. Thomas thought the same thing she thought. It was his first kiss. And they shared it. All the engines cheered and whistled at the sight of Thomas and Emily kissing. They didn't want this special love to ever end. The fireworks made a sign that said "ThomasxEmily."
