It was warm clear summer morning the Big Harbor. The sun was shining brightly over the rocks and water. A gentle ocean breeze blew around the docks and buildings. All the tugs gathered around the Dispatcher and waited for the morning work meeting to begin. All except for George, he was currently on a task overseas. The Dispatcher turned to Theodore, Hank, Emily and Foduck to give out jobs for the day.

"Foduck, today along with safety patrol you'll be inspecting anchors." The Dispatcher said. Foduck gave two whistles to say 'yes sir'. "Hank, you'll be taking Brunswick to unload supplies in the shipyard."

Hank smiled and blew his whistle three times. "Two toots are will do Hank." Foduck frowned. Hank gave a sheepish smile in return, glancing back up at their boss. The Dispatcher paid no mind and turned to Theodore and Emily. "A big cargo ship is coming in from the west. I want you two to bring him in and with him is your tugboat's surprise."

All the tugboats smiled big smiles. Hank and Theodore were squirming with delight. A week ago, before George went out to sea, the tugboats received word that a surprise was coming. Something that will assist them since it has been getting busier in the harbor. "Ooh you two are lucky! You get to see what it is first." Hank said, slightly bumping Theodore in excitement. Theodore did not mind in the least.

Emily smiled. "If only George was here. He would be excited with us too." She watched the young tugs bob around like corks in amusement.

~Somewhere outside of Nova Scotia~

You could hear the faint sound of music out on the ocean. When you floated closer, it was upbeat and if you floated even a little closer, you could hear singing. A large cargo ship named Hudson was sailing towards land singing merrily along with the music. In addition, he was not the only one that was singing. Behind him, tied to his stern was a female tugboat wearing a grey cloche hat with a light blue ribbon tied around it. She was happily singing along with Hudson. Both ships looked a little scuffled from their long trip through the Arctic Ocean.

Hudson looked towards the horizon. They were soon approaching their destination. He turned down the volume of the music to get the tugboat's attention. "Look! We're almost there Bonnie." Hudson called with a smile. Bonnie stopped and peaked around the cargo ship to see her future home. "Ooh, it's so big!" She breathed. She began to bob around nervously like a bath toy. "What if I get lost in there? What if they don't like me?"

Hudson chuckled at her anxiety. "Oh I don't think so. We became friends during our trip didn't we?"

Bonnie tooted her whistle. "Yup! We definitely did!" She smiled brightly. Then she smiled faltered a bit. "I'll miss you when you go." She said a little sadly. "I hope you're not going back the way we came are you?"

The big cargo ship thought for a moment and said. "No, I'll be going the long way around. I definitely will not recommend going that route either to anyone."

The tugboat sighed with relief. "I'm glad." Her smile returned on her face until she heard two distinct sounds of tugboat whistles. The female tug peaked around again and saw two other tugboats floating towards them. She gasped aloud and hid behind Hudson. "Oh no! Here they come! WhadoIdo?" She thought.

Sorry if my creative writing skills don't seem good right now. It has been a few years since I've written a story.

This is my first TT story so I will do my best to keep all the canon characters of the TT universe in character.

I like when a reader leaves me a review saying they like the story. What I love though is getting some constructive criticism on how I am doing and if there is any way I can make the story better.

I hope you stay with my story for the weeks/months to come. And enjoy it ^^
