Bolts of Love
It had been a mixed wave of weather on Sodor. One day it would be raining, the next day it would be sunny, the engines were getting slightly annoyed. "Great!" moaned Henry on wet and rainy morning, "I hoped it would be sunny and dry, but no! It has to be cold, rainy, wet and downright miserable."
"Henry if you are just gonna complain about it raining for the 600th time, you can stay outside!" Shouted Emily who had just woken up and was in a bad mood anyway. "I think I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut," Henry thought to himself. Thomas laughed, "It's ok Henry, Emily is just a little pissed off cause she is still tired and wants to go back to sleep so she can have dreams about James." Percy sniggered in the corner, James went bright red. "Ha!" he snorted, "Like if you are ever gonna get a girl. Face it; no girl will ever be attracted to tank engines!"
"I don't know about that James" said a voice from behind him. It was Rebecca, she always sees the engines every morning, especially Gordon, the two got on really well. "I quite like tank engines, that's why I like Duck so much." Rebecca smiled, "Yes." Agreed Gordon "And the fact your boyfriend is Ducks best friend." He added, James kept silent. "BURN!" called Percy from the far end of Tidmouth sheds. Just then the door opened and The Fat Controller strode up to them. "Now I know the weather has been all over the place lately, I think it's only fitting that we can all have a day off today. How would you all feel about that?"
"I don't think so sir!" Said James rather quickly, he didn't think that he could manage to spend another minute with Percy in clear earshot of him. "Damn it James!" Called Gordon, "Well, either all of you work or you can all stay in the sheds!" Sir said crossly. Edward's opinion was probably the only one that mattered now, "I think one more day of work couldn't do us any harm." He said fondly. "Crap!" Henry thought unhappily as the engines set off for their jobs.
Thomas didn't really mind the rain at all, he was actually enjoying himself, but then he began thinking to himself about what James said earlier about no girl ever being attracted to him. "I bet James is wrong," he thought to himself. It was now getting late and Thomas was keen on getting home ASAP. As he chuffed along the wet rails Thomas looked at the sky, the clouds seemed to make a vortex formation. Then lightning flashed in the center of the vortex, Thomas applied his breaks and watched with fear and fascination at the same time, he never saw this before in his entire life. Not too long after lightning fell, there was a scream as two beings fell from the vortex. Thomas' pistons pumped as he raced to see what it was that fell…
