Another Thomas rewrite, this time it's "Diesel's Devious Deed" from Season 2, with added lines by tate310. Enjoy and comment.

Diesel, the new engine, was trying to sleep, but the freight cars would not stop singing. They were singing the same song, over and over again.

"Cars are waiting in the yard, tacking them with ease'll. Show the world what I can do, gaily boasts the Diesel. In and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel! When he pull the wrong cars out- Pop goes the Diesel!"

Duck was horrified! The cars kept singing and singing!

"SHUT UP!" he ordered.

But the trucks kept singing.

Duck banged the trucks crossly. One at a time, they finally stopped singing.

"I'm sorry our cars were so rude to you!"

Diesel was beyond furious.

"It's all your fault! You made them laugh at me!" he complained.

"Nonsense!" said Henry. "Duck would never do that!"

"That's disgraceful!" said Gordon.

"Disgusting!" added in James.

"Despicable!" finished Henry.

Diesel hated Duck and vowed to get revenge on him by telling lies about him.

Next day, he spoke to the cars.

"I see you like jokes. You made a good joke about me yesterday. I laughed and laughed. Duck told me one about Gordon. I'll whisper it."

"Gordon is the meanest engine on Sodor!"

"Don't tell Gordon what I just told you." He then snickered away.

The trucks laughed thunderously.

"Gordon will be crosser than ever at Duck when he hears what Diesel told us! Let's tell him and see what happens!"

They laughed rudely at the engines as they went by.

Soon, the three engines knew what happened.

"Disgraceful!" said Gordon.

"Disgusting!" put in James.

"Despicable!" finished Henry. "We cannot allow it!"

They consulted together.

"Yes!" they all said. "He did it to us, we'll do it to him. Let's see how he likes it!"

Duck was tired out. The cars had been very troublesome to him. All he wanted was to rest in the shed.

He was turning smoothly on the turntable, and it stopped right in front of the three engines, who all let off an angry "WHOOSH!"

"Keep out!" hissed James.

"Stop fooling James!" Duck told him. "I'm tired from shunting those freight cars!"

"SO ARE WE!" yelled the other engines. "We are tired of you! We like Diesel better! All you do is tell tales to the cars!"

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"I don't"

"You do!"

"Enough!" said Sir Topham Hatt. He arrived to stop the noise. "What is going on?"

"Duck called me a meanie!" sputtered Gordon.

"A rusty red scrap iron!" hissed James.

"Old square wheels!" fumed Henry.

"Well Duck, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"I didn't do any of that sir! It's all Diesel's fault!"

"That's a lie Duck! Diesel told me that you didn't get the goods work on time!"

"But I did!" cried Duck.

"He made the cars laugh at us!" accused the engines.

Sir Topham Hatt tried not to laugh, but soon recovered.

"Duck, did you really do all this?"

"No sir! I'm innocent!"

Just then, Diesel lurked into the sheds.

"Now Diesel, Duck has been telling me that you are calling other engines mean names? Is it true or not?"

"It's false sir. Duck is the one telling it all."

Sir Topham Hatt turned back to Duck. He was very cross.

"Well Duck, as a punishment for calling the other engines mean names, you will work at Edward's station! I hope you've learned your lesson!"

"Yes sir." said Duck sadly.

Diesel felt very pleased with himself, and went into the shed, to take a well deserved nap.
