On the Island of Sodor, everyone knew the two biggest best friends are Thomas and Percy. However, in the past week, the two had been dealing with problems. They liked to play games together. So they created a new game they call " Speed Chase ". It was like regular chase, except one person goes really fast and and the other goes very slow.

Well problems occurred while playing the game. Thomas or Percy would hit the other very hard and they would scream at each other. That escalated to them hitting each other hard all the time. Then they would fight on other stuff when they work.

It hasn't stopped yet, and everyone is both annoyed and worried with them.

Right now it was 6:00 pm. Everyone was at Tidmouth. Except for a certain pair of engines.

" Are Thomas & Percy gonna come back soon? " - Henry

" I don't know. They're probably arguing back and forth to each other. " - Edward

" I don't think they are. " - Emily

Emily was proven wrong though. Thomas and Percy's whistles could be heard. The two returned to their shed, and they continued to argue for what seems like an eternity.

" I told you I would collect the animals! " - Thomas

" Well I didn't want to collect the coal trucks. I deserved to collect the animals. They love me! " - Percy

" Yeah. Only the pigs. " - Thomas

" At least I don't snort like a pig when I sleep. " - Percy

" Hey! I can't help it. " - Thomas

" You can't help anything. " - Percy

" Neither can you! " - Thomas

" Maybe I should quit then. " - Percy

" Then do it! " - Thomas

The other engines had enough of this. Especially Gordon.

" Shut it! Shut it Forever! " - Gordon

Thomas and Percy heard that and stopped yelling.

" This is the third night in a row you two have been fighting. It needs to stop. " - Edward

Thomas and Percy glared at Each Other.

" He started this. " - Percy

" No. You did. " - Thomas

" You did! " - Percy

" YOU DID! " - Thomas

" STOP IT! " - Gordon, Henry, Edward, Emily, and James

Thomas and Percy stopped yelling once again.

" Percy. Why don't you sleep with me tonight. I'm sure you'll feel better. " - James

Percy blushed and smirked at Thomas.

" I bet I will. " - Percy

Thomas then made a annoyed face.

" Thomas come on. You can sleep with me too. " - Emily

" I would love too Em. " - Thomas

Thomas and Percy both left their sheds and went in their lover's shed. Percy went into James's shed, while Thomas went into Emily's shed. The two would eventually calm down as their lover comforted them all night.


Meanwhile, at the Steam Team Motel. The drivers were also fed up with the fighting of the two small engines.

Tyler, Jake, Ellie, Hailey, and Erik were sitting on the couch playing cards.

" I can't believe Thomas and Percy are still fighting. " - Tyler

" Well, maybe they're growing away from each other. " - Jake

Ellie then smacked Jake on his head.

" Ow! " - Jake

" Those two will never grow away from each other. They just need to be disciplined, and then they'll calm down and apologize. " - Ellie

" I wouldn't count on that. " - Hailey

" Just draw. " - Erik

Hailey picked up her cards to see if they were good enough.

" Okay Tyler. Deal. " - Hailey

" Okay. I got 2 jacks and a 10. " - Tyler

" I have 3 9s. " - Jake

" I'm out " - Ellie

" Me too. " - Erik

" CANASTA! " - Hailey

She then grabbed the pile of cards, thinking that she won.

" We're not playing Canasta. " - Tyler

" Oh. Then I lost bad. " - Hailey

" Just like how Thomas and Percy are gonna lose each other. " - Jake

Ellie then smacked him again.

" Ow! Ellie stop! I have a sensitive head, you know that! " - Jake

" Well stop being a Debbie Downer. Thomas and Percy will be fine by tomorrow I bet. " - Ellie

" She's right. And me and Patrick will be there to help them. " - Tyler

Then the group heard a loud sneeze, which made them all jump. Patrick came into the room.

" Hey all. Playing around. Looks like it. " - Patrick

The tone of his voice sounded really strange to the group. Erik was about to shuffle the cards when Patrick sneezed again, on his neck.

" Dude! You got sneeze goo on the back of my head. " - Erik

" Sorry Erik. " - Patrick

Patrick then grabbed a full tissue box.

" You got a cold? " - Ellie

" No. It's my allergies. " - Patrick

" I didn't know you had allergies. " - Hailey

" Yeah. Apparently he has a big allergic reaction to daisies. " - Tyler

" Yeah. I think I may even be allergic to Daisy. I mean why that does that girl wear so much makeup? And who applies it for her? " - Patrick

" I wouldn't know. " - James

" Well don't worry. Cause my doctor gave me this medicine that I must take 20 days straight. And then I won't ever have allergies again. " - Patrick

" That's so great. Why can't I take that? " - Tyler

" He said this medicine wasn't approved in England. So he told me just roll with it. " - Patrick

" Is the medicine safe? " - Hailey

" I don't know. He said that they are side effects, and he wouldn't tell me what they were. " - Patrick

" And why? " - Tyler

" I don't know. He's a strange doctor...don't ever talk to him. " - Patrick

The 6 friends then stared at each other for a few seconds and then continued on with they routine.

" Patrick. Have you talked to Percy? " - Tyler

" Not yet. But I should wait until I stop sneezing. I don't wanna infect him. " - Patrick

" Yeah, I don't think humans can infect an engine. " - Jake

" Like when Henry thought that engines could get chicken pox. " - Hailey

She then laughed for 5 straight seconds.

" Ahh, that was so funny to watch. " - Hailey

" Let's just keep playing. " - Tyler

The 5 at the couch continued to play cards and Patrick went back upstairs to try and stop sneezing. Tyler was the one who was the most concerned about his engine and his best friend. He didn't want them to continue fighting, cause he thought it would get worse. Since Patrick couldn't really help him, he had to fix this himself. Only problem is that he doesn't know what to do.


The next morning. The engines were all up and drivers were all ready to go, well except for one. Once the 7 engines were all in their berth, they waited for their drivers. Thomas and Percy looked at each other. They just gave some sterns looks, and everyone else thought they were gonna start yelling again. But they didn't.

The drivers then soon arrive.

" Morning buddies. " - Jake

" Jake. Stop saying that. " - James

" No I won't Jimmy. " - Jake

" Don't call me Jimmy! It's a dumb name. " - James

" Hey, my uncle's name is Jimmy. " - Ginny

" Yeah, but I meant that...I didn't mean that...I'll shut up. " - James

Tyler then came up to Thomas.

" You feeling better? " - Tyler

" I think so. For now. " - Thomas

Thomas then looked back at Percy again.

" Where's Patrick. I'm ready to leave now. " - Percy

Patrick then ran to the sheds. He was not acting normal though. As he was scratching himself all over.

" Hey guys. Ready to work? " - Patrick

" What's wrong with you? " - Emily

" Oh, my new medicine has some side effects and I think this is one of them. I've been itchy all morning. " - Patrick

He then grabbed a large spoon from his pocket and scratched himself with it.

" What up with the spoon? " - Tyler

" Oh. It's a really good back scratcher. " - Patrick

He then felt a bad itch.

" Oh. My poor itchy calf. " - Patrick

He then scratched his left calf really hard.

" Um. Don't we use that spoon to cook with? " - Ellie

" Uh huh. " - Patrick.

" I think their's a tube of itch cream in the bathroom back in the motel. " - Jake

" Okay. I'll go get it. " - Patrick

He then ran back to the motel. Percy was not pleased.

" Wait. Come back. We gotta go now! " - Percy

" Aww, poor Percy. He doesn't get to be the first one to leave. " - Thomas

Percy then growled at his "best" friend.

" I do! " - Gordon

He then left as the first one to go. Ginny wasn't ready and nearly slipped out of his cab.

" Be careful! " - Ginny

Once Gordon left, Thomas hummed happily.

" Very funny. Why don't we play Speed Chase again, and I can bump you harder than you did to me. " - Percy.

" Oh, you know I'm the one who gets hit harder. " - Thomas

" Think again, blue. " - Percy

" Oh I'm thinking, green. " - Thomas

" Thomas, Percy, knock it off! " - Tyler

" At least I never leave my coach behind! " - Percy

Thomas then gasped.

" Oh yeah. Well at least I don't crash into chocolate factories! " - Thomas

Percy then gasped too.

" Never speak of that again! " - Percy

" What if I don't! " - Thomas

" Then I'm gonna kick your..." - Percy

" STOP IT! " - Mr. Caleb.

Mr. Caleb had just arrived at Tidmouth and heard most of the argument.

" You two will not be working together today! " - Mr. Caleb

" Good. I don't wanna work with this green caterpillar. " - Thomas

" And I don't wanna work with this blue slug. " - Percy

" And I don't wanna listen you two. Knock it off, or I'll punish you both! " - Mr. Caleb

The two stopped yelling once again, as they did not want to be punished.

" Patrick! " - Percy

Patrick heard his name and ran towards the drama.

" I'm here. What I miss? " - Patrick

" Another argument for these two. " - Henry

Patrick sighed at that remark. Then Ellie noticed that he had a golf club in his pants sheath.

" Pat. Why is their a golf club there? " - Ellie

" Well I ruined the spoon. " - Patrick

James then started to snicker. Patrick heard it and went up and thumped James's cheek.

" Ow. My beautiful face. " - James

Mr. Caleb was growing impatient.

" Everyone just get to work. " - Mr. Caleb

" Hey Caleb. Could you scratch my back with golf club? " - Patrick

" I said get to work! " - Mr. Caleb

Everyone then scrambled and prepared to leave.

Thomas and Percy were the most happy to leave.

" I'm gonna have a fun day today Tommy. " - Percy

" Mine will be better Perp. " - Thomas

The two then left. James and Emily weren't thrilled to see their lovers be all angry with each other.

" I wish those two would stop. It's killing me. " - James

" Yeah. I haven't seen Thomas that angry. " - Emily

" Well I can make Percy less angry. I'm the better significant other. " - James

" Oh just be quiet James. " - Emily.

For the rest of the day, Thomas and Percy enjoyed their time not seeing each other. Their friendship is slowing starting to fade. Someone has to do something, or who knows what will happen next.
