One Good Turn - Humanized

A request from magic135, hope you like it.

Bill and Ben are the most mischiefast students that attend Sodor Secondary School; they're kept busy hauling books, resistant materials, textiles and many other things around the school.

They like to have fun together and often play tricks on the teachers, like the time Ben "accidentally" knocked over a bookshelf in the library and all the books landed on a teacher's head. But sometimes their teasing ways can get them into trouble.

One day, Sir Topham Hatt came to see them.

STH: New computers have arrived in the yards, Bill and Ben I need you two to help the other students.

B&B: Oh Yes Sir! Of Course Sir!

And they set off on their bikes to their important mission.

BoCo was resting in the yards when he heard the sound of two familiar whistles.

BoCo: Hmmm. Here comes trouble.

Bill: Sir Topham Hatt told us you were tired. He asked us to take ALL the computers for you.

BoCo: You two never stop do you? But I'm wise to you pranks and we do need your help here.

The twins were soon busy pulling and pushing the flatbeds into place, ready for them to be loaded with the new computers.

At last the day's work was done. The twins now became excited, there were going to use the bike turntable for the first time.

The reason why turntables are there is because some bikes like Bill's and Ben's have special pop out stabilisers which allows them to peddle backwards as well as forwards. Whereas BoCo's bike doesn't have stabilisers and is much longer then Bill's and Ben's, so for him to turn around, he must use a turntable.

Bill went first.

Bill: This is fun!

But the yard manager stopped the turntable.

Manager: Please get off so the other students can use it.

Bill did what he was told, but the manager had accidentally stopped the turntable in the wrong place, Bill was too sad to look where he was going and Ben was biking right toward him. The boys' bikes crash into each other and the twins were flung off and landed hard on the ground.

The twins gazed grimly at each other.

Bill: What are you doing?

Ben: You weren't looking where you were going! It's your fault!

Bill: Is not, you should've gotten out of the way!

Sir Topham Hatt came to stop the arguing.

STH: If you two don't behave, I shall never allow you here again!

The next day, Ben was still grumpy.

Ben: That Bill, imagine crashing into me, he's a very stupid boy.

BoCo: The way I heard it sounds like you're both to blame.

Ben: Well- You must've heard it all wrong!

The twins grumbled about each other all day.

Even kind Edward lost patience.

Edward: All this grumbling spreads bad atmosphere in the school.

BoCo: You're quite right, and that's why I've come up with a plan.

BoCo whispered his plan to Edward, and Edward told Sir Topham Hatt.

STH: I'll make arrangements straight away.

The next morning he called Bill and Ben into the yard.

STH: BoCo is taking a special load to the harbour, his regular goods load is waiting in the car park, you two can pull it together.

Bill: But...

Ben: But...

STH: Good, I knew I could rely on you two.

Ben: I'll take the load myself!

Bill: Go ahead.

Ben coupled his bike to the heavy load, Ben peddled and pushed as hard as he could, but they were too heavy for him to pull alone.

Bill: Go on.

Ben: I can't!

Suddenly the twins began to laugh.

Bill: I don't think we'll take turns this time Ben, I think we'd better pull together.

Ben was delighted, it was good to be helping each other, but best of all, it was good to be friends again.

The End

And that was One Good Turn Humanized. magic135, hope you like it.
