The trouble with mud

This is my own version of the Thomas story "The trouble with mud", but there is a twist I'm using my version of the Thomas characters not the CGI Characters, hope you like it =)

It was a cloudy day on Sodor, Gordon was on his way back to the sheds he was speeding down the line, Then there was trouble a big puddle was across Gordon's line, he sped through the puddle and was covered with mud.

Gordon: Oh f**king hell!

Meanwhile Thomas was in the yard having a wash down, Rebecca was helping

Thomas: Nothin' like a good wash down to start the day, thanks for helipn' Rebecca

Rebecca: No probs

Just then Gordon arrived. Thomas and Rebecca gasped.

Rebecca: Have you had a mud bath Gordon?

Gordon: No, I splashed through a big puddle and this happened.

Thomas: Maybe you should have a wash down before y'all do the express.

Gordon snorted

Gordon: I've got no time to clean up, like certain wee tank engines.

And he puffed away.

Rebecca: Will he have a wash down?

Thomas: Yeah, he will eventually.

Rebecca: Cool

Thomas: Wanna come with me to the docks?

Rebecca: Ok

Thomas: Climb aboard.

Rebecca sat in Thomas' cab then he set off for the docks.

Meanwhile Gordon was at the next station he saw a sign "All trains must wash down daily" Gordon snorted. James was there, he was already being cleaned.

James: C'mon Gordon have a wash down so you don't look like a piece of s**t on wheels.

This made Gordon very cross he blew steam angrily, mud went all over James.

James: Gordon you bloody idiot!

Gordon: That's what you get for callin' me a piece of s**t on wheels.

And he puffed angrily away.

Thomas and Rebecca pulled into the docks.

Rebecca: Can I stay here Thomas?

Thomas: If yo wanna I'll see u later.

Rebecca climbed out of Thomas' cab, Thomas whistled then puffed away .

Rebecca saw James she went over to him.

Rebecca: Hiya James

James: Hi Rebecca, y'know what Gordon did to me earlier on

Rebecca: What?

James: He blew mud at me.

Rebecca tried not to laugh

Rebecca: *sniggers* why would Gordon do that?

James: Well I'll admit it was my fault I made him cross by callin' him a piece of s**t on wheels.

Rebecca: That's why he did it then.

James: Yeah

Suddenly Gordon rushed through he bumped his trucks hard.

Gordon: That's for you and you and YOU! Bleeders.

James: Calm down Gordon, trucks will be trucks

Gordon: Huh with you maybe but not with me, I'll teach 'em.

And he gave them a mighty biff.

Rebecca: My god he is in a bad mood.

James: He definitely knows how to biff a truck.

Rebecca agreed.

Just then Gordon returned.

Gordon: I'd be careful on the hill James, I went up there this morning and even I had trouble gettin' up there so let me know if u need help.

James snorted

James: I won't need help, just you wait and see.

Gordon: Don't say I didn't warn you

James puffed away.

Rebecca: Hiya Gordon

Gordon: Oh god hey Becky I never saw you there, how long you been there?

Rebecca: Quite a while, I saw you biff them trucks, that's what I call muscle.

Gordon chuckled

Gordon: Trucks piss me off and I've had a bad say too.

Rebecca: Really?

Gordon: Yeah, well first I splashed through a big puddle, then James called me a piece of s**t on wheels so I blew steam at him, then I couldn't pull the express 'cause I was too dirty and I was told to get cleaned and shunt bloody trucks.

Rebecca: Oh dear

Gordon: I know, anyway c'mon lets go see if James needs help up the hill.

Rebecca: But James said he didn't need help.

Gordon: *chuckles* I know James Rebecca, he says these things and he fails miserably, and another thing I struggled up that hill this morning so he'll have no chance with three heavy express coaches.

Rebecca: True

Gordon: Climb on

Rebecca climbed onto Gordon then they set off for the hill.

A few minutes later they arrived at the bottom of the hill.

Gordon: Look there's James.

Rebecca: He's quite far up

Gordon: I got that far then I began to struggle but I managed to get up, but James won't he's got heavy express coaches so he won't make it like a long shot.

They saw James struggling to get up the hill.

Gordon: He's struggling

Then James started going backwards down the hill.

Rebecca: He's rolling backwards.

James stopped next to Gordon.

Gordon: I thought you could get up the hill James.

James was too breathless to answer, Gordon smiled.

Gordon: Tell you what I'll help you up the hill, how does that sound.

James: *pants* ok Gordon thanks

Gordon smiled then he changed tracks and buffered up behind the express.

Gordon: Let me know when you're ready James.

James waited till he got plenty of steam then he whistled.

James: *whistles* I'm ready.

Gordon: *whistles* Ok

Gordon pushed and James pulled as they made their way up the hill.

Half way up their wheels slipped.

James: Oh god!

Gordon: Don't worry we'll do it!

They puffed their hardest at last they made it to the top of the hill.

James: *Whistles* Thanks Gordon bye!

Gordon: *Whistles* No probs, bye! Right lets get back to the sheds.

Rebecca: Ok.

So Gordon puffed to Tidmouth sheds.

A few minutes later Gordon pulled into Tidmouth sheds.

Thomas: Yo Gordon you're actually clean.

Gordon: *chuckles* yeah

Thomas: Did you manage to help James?

Gordon: Aye, I must admit we did struggle half way up but we managed in the end.

Thomas: Cool, well done Gordon.

Then the fat controller arrived.

Fat controller: Well done Gordon you managed to help James even though you two don't get along that well.

Gordon: Well its all in a days work sir

Thomas: Does that mean that Gordon can pull coaches again?

Fat controller: As long as you have a wash down daily then yes Gordon you may.

Gordon: Thanks sir

The fat controller left. Then James arrived.

James: Gordon I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, I'm glad you helped me.

Gordon: Its all in a days work James.

James smiled.

Gordon: And I'm sorry for blowing mud at you.

James: Its ok.

Gordon: I know this will sound boastful, dirty or clean I'm a famous machine.

Rebecca: I agree

Everyone laughed

Gordon learned that you don't have to be dirty to be useful
