Another original Thomas story, this time it's a firsthand account of how Gordon dislikes Spencer. Enjoy and comment.
I am proud to be an Express engine. It makes me feel responsible and really useful, as I am the only engine that is strong enough to pull it.
However, quite recently, I have found myself in a state of disbelief, thanks to Spencer, the new engine who just arrived on Sodor.
I remember the first time I met him. It was a beautiful day, and I was resting in my shed when Sir Topham Hatt came.
"Gordon, you will take the Duke and Duchess of Boxford to a special party at Maron Station." he said.
This made me feel excited. I loved taking important people, and the Duke and Duchess of Boxford were very important people indeed, so I set proudly away to collect them.
On my way to the station, my driver suggested that I get a nice wash down,
When I was washed and polished, I raced to the station.
Just then, I noticed a shiny silver engine blocking the track to the station.
"Get out of my way!" I snapped.
"How rude!" replied the engine. "Who are you anyway?"
"I'm Gordon the Express engine, and I need to collect the Duke and Duchess of Boxford of the station!"
"Well, I guess you won't be doing that. You see, I'm the Duke and Duchesses private train, and I can go faster than you!"
"Well then, I don't believe that at all! Besides, I'm the fastest engine on Sodor. If you're going to make it to the station to collect the Duke and Duchess, you should take on some water first."
"I'm the fastest engine in the world! I don't need water!"
And then he zoomed away at warp speed, leaving me in a cloud of dust.
Now you may be wondering what happened to Spencer after he left. He ran out of steam right on top of my hill.
And boy, you should have seen his face when I arrived to collect the Duke and Duchess.
Nowadays, I don't see Spencer that much, but I still dislike him, especially when he takes my Express passengers.
And I'll never forgive him for not listening to me.
