Another Thomas rewrite, this time it's "James Goes Buzz-Buzz" from Season 3. Enjoy and comment.

Trevor the traction-engine was enjoying his work in the Vicar's village, when James puffed in.

"Hello Trevor!" said James. "You look bright and cheerful, just like my red paint!"

"I am!" replied Trevor.

Then, James heard a buzzing noise.

"What's that noise?"

"It's the bees!" laughed Trevor. "They're all in their bee-hives. I'm taking them to the station. The Vicar says that they make good honey."

Just then, BoCo, the diesel engine hummed in.

"Don't make the bees angry! They might sting you!"

James didn't like being told what to do from a diesel, and he buzzed away.

Bill and Ben, the tank-engine twins, were arranging freight cars, until they saw BoCo.

"I remember when I first met them." said BoCo to Duck. "They nearly made my eyes pop out! But Edward soon stopped their fun and games."

"Edward is the only one that can keep them in order." replied Duck. "I sometime call them buzzy bees!"

"A very good name! They cause confusion and delay when they buzz around!"

Then, James bustled in.

"Are you afraid of bees?" asked James. "You know, they're just insects. Don't let that buzz-box diesel tell you otherwise."

"His name is BoCo." replied Duck.

"I wouldn't care if hundreds of bees were swarming around! I would just blow smoke at them, and tell them to buzz off!"

"Buzz buzz!" teased Duck.

This made James very cross.

The next morning, James arrived at the station to collect his coaches.

Everyone was excited to get on-board.

Then, there was trouble. A porter knocked down a bee-hive, causing hundreds of bees to swarm everywhere!

Everyone raced for cover!

Then, James heard angry buzzing.

First, the bees buzzed around James's driver and fireman, in hope that they would mend their bee-hive.

The bees then settled on James's boiler.

"Buzz off!" hissed James.

One bee buzzed his foot, and was so angry, that he stung James, right on the nose!"

"OW!"

James had enough, and so did his driver and fireman, so they puffed away, not realizing that they had forgotten the coaches.

They tried everything to get rid of the bees.

First, they spun on a turntable, but it didn't work.

Next, they tried washing the bees off at the wash-down, but the bees stuck harder to James's boiler.

Then, they tried smoking them off by going through a long tunnel, but the bees still wouldn't go away!

"It's no good James." said his driver. "We'll have to go back to the orchard, and fetch another hive."

The Vicar was waiting for James at the orchard.

When James arrived, the bees flew into their new home.

"Come on James!" said his driver. "What you need now is a good wash-down!"

Later that night, the Vicar came to see James.

"Thank you for saving my bees!" he said. "It's a pity it's not Christmas, so we could call you James the Red-Nosed Engine.

Everyone laughed, including James, but instead, they called him the "bees knees" because he was useful than ever.
