Chapter 2: Really useful engine.

That evening, Thomas and Kiara were slowly puffing side by side down a long stretch of track. But Thomas still wasn't feeling cheerful after what happened in the yards, so Kiara tried to cheer him up.

Kiara: "Aww, cheer up Thomas."

Thomas: "I can't Kiara. Whenever I try to help with something, all I ever do is make things worse."

Kiara: "Look, you just need to be more careful on this kind of stuff. Everyone does their part in there own way, you should too."

Thomas: "But why would I have a part because of how clumsy I am?"

Kiara thought for a moment, then she smiled.

Kiara: "You know what, maybe you just need more time to practice handling trucks. I think you'll be a the really useful engine we'll all adore someday."

Thomas looked up at Kiara knowing that she was always very wise.

Thomas: "You really think so?"

Kiara: "I know so."

As Thomas and Kiara warmly smiled at each other, Kiara started singing a little song that kinda warmed Thomas's heart.

Kiara: "You're the really useful engine we know.

All the other engines should tell you so.

You huff and puff and whistle, rushing two and fro, you're the really useful engine we adore.

Someday, you'll be the one. You'll be the really useful engine that we'll adore.

Someday, you'll be the one we know, Thomas the tank engine!"

After he heard the first part of the song, Thomas started to feel a little better.

Thomas: "So you really think I'd be as good as everyone else once I learn everything I need to know about trucks?"

Kiara: "you bet, pretty soon you'll be everybody's number one."

Kiara:(continues her song) "You're the really useful engine we know.

Uncle Max someday just might tell you so…."

Uncle Max:(distant) "Will not!"

Kiara: "...someday you'll have a branch line to call your very own, you're the really useful engine we adore.

Someday, you'll be the one. You'll be the really useful engine that we'll adore.

Someday, you'll be the one we know. Thomas the tank engine!

You're the really useful engine we know.

Maybe little, but you're never slow."

Then, Kiara started to speed up ahead of Thomas.

Kiara: "They stand back in amazement, just to watch you go. you're the really useful engine we adore.

Someday, you'll be the one. You'll be the really useful engine that we'll adore.

Someday, You'll be the one we know.

Thomas the tank engine!"

After she finished, Thomas started feeling a whole lot better.

Thomas: "You're right Kiara, maybe I can try harder."

Suddenly, uncle Max quickly puffed up beside Kiara.

Uncle Max: "Oh no you won't, you can't even shunt a goods train into place without derailing a truck."

Thomas: "Hey! I did fine a few times."

Kiara:(sarcastically) "Okay, Thank you Uncle Max for ruining his cheerfulness."

Then Thomas and Kiara puffed ahead of uncle Max to continue their conversation.

Kiara: "You see if you don't do well at first, you just need to keep trying."

Then Uncle Max puffs up again.

Uncle Max: "Or you could have just stopped sticking your head in the…."

Kiara:(Slightly annoyed) "Thank you Uncle Max!"

Thomas: "Actually he's right Kiara, I might have been sticking my head in the clouds a couple times."(looks down in sadness)

Kiara: "Look, I know you can do it Thomas. Just try and get what you need to do through your head."

As Thomas and Kiara puffed off back to the yard, Uncle Max just watched them with a grumpy look on his face.
