Here's Chapter 2 :)

Chapter 2.

The very next morning, all the steamies were up bright and early ready for their day of work. A familiar blue automobile was seen and out came Sir Topham Hatt and his two conductor like bodyguards walking towards them with his hands folded behind him. "Good Morning Everyone, I see that all of you had a good-night's sleep last night to see all your smiling faces it does my heart well to know that I have really useful engines on my railway." They all grinned at each-other then back at their boss. "Now, I have something special to say. Today is Clean Sodor Day; everyone will be taking part in making the Island more beautiful and uplifting than ever before so, I'm going to break you all into two pairs."

James listened carefully hoping that the Fat Controller will pick him and Gordon together; he was longing to be working with him just for today but on the other hand, he was not too fond of cleaning; he didn't like getting his paintwork dirty and he also prayed that they wouldn't go to a place where it would be smelly either. "Thomas and Percy, you both will be going to Brendam Docks to deliver boxes of cleaning supplies and decorations over to Knapford Station for the workers to clean and decorate for the special event." The two tank engines smiled tooting loudly making it on the turntable chuffing away. "Henry and Edward, you two will be taking some trees to be planted at Henry's Forest. And Gordon and James, you both will be going over to Whiff's Waste Dump to help him clear the place from all the garbage that he had collected; Scruff has to be repaired over at the Steamworks." And the Fat Controller walked back to his car driving away.

They both couldn't believe what they had just heard; Henry and Edward both snickered trying to blink away their tears and trying hard not to laugh. "Good luck you two." Henry winked chuffing away tooting loudly. "Hope you guys have loads of fun and try not to get dirty especially you James." Edward grinned. The blue and red engines grew red in the face letting out dark black clouds of smoke. "Now ain't this some shit! I'my bound to get my paintwork dirty." James thought.
