A Hopeful New Year

It has been an incredible year for the residents for the Island of Sodor, Not only did new face became humanized but the Island of Sodor had visitors from an alternate universe where the Ponies from Equestria had come to the World of Thomas the Tank engine and Friends also humanized. The previous year the homestead of Thomas and Rosie had found new temporary homes for their humanized pony friends for whenever the Mane seven including their own version of the guardian of lite of Equestria Doodle Loo and her Blue and Gold Macaw Ralph.

The visit from the ponies the previous year was to help prevent the loss of both the World of Equestria and the land of Sodor from a fallen light guardian of the elders. Now it is time to say farewell of a almost treacherous year of almost loosing the homestead from the attack at the end of summer, but thanks to the ponies helped restore all that Thomas, Rosie and their friends had built up since Thomas and Rosie had owned the homestead. All are in the dining hall decorating it for the New Year's Eve Celebrations. Rosie and the ladies including the Apple family and Pinky Pie are hard at work making the food for the Banquette, The boys are busy decorating the hall with Streamers and Balloons, while Edward, Thomas and Duck had to make a clearing in the hall for a dance floor for the party goers. Twilight and the rest of her friends help organized how the dining hall is coming along. Thanks to how she is more organized than everyone else, everyone had placed their hands in bringing the Bling in this year's count down for the new Year.

Twilight. "Alright just a few more touches and this ball room will be glamorous for this evening's Event."

Thomas. "Thanks to you Twilight, everything is on time and have this ballroom ready before our guests are to arrive."

Trent Dimes. (Ten Cents) "And I must say that this will not only end this previous year, but the passing of the decade."

Shawn Brightly. (Sunshine) "You know is Trent, Goodbye 2010s, and hello 2020s."

Edward was caught on what Shawn and Trent have said, they also now what else is coming up for them in the new year. "Hey Thomas, do you realized it has been almost 75 years since the Thin Clergyman had told the world about the stories of our railway?"

Henry. "That is right, I can still remember when he first asked me about why I had not wanted to leave the tunnel during my first years here."

Fluttershy. "Henry I am sorry to bring this up, but oh um, What was the reason why you would not come out of the tunnel, I am sure you must have been able to run under such weather before your arrival on Sodor."

Henry. "It was the fact that my first engine's design was based on Stolen designs from Sir Nigel Gresley the very person who was trying to design Gordon and his Brothers and Sisters class, the A 0 and the A-1s."

Rainbow Dash. "You mean you had a different shape than the engine you became after that"

Henry. "Yes, I was a cross reference between an LNER A-1 with a GNR C1 Atlantic, I had a big boiler but have a too small of a firebox to allow for me to steam up properly. I was most afraid of being sent to scrap since none of us could come up the time of asking the controller any form of help when we first became part of this railway."

James. "Even if we had been here for a few years working on the railway, we usually had fears of being unable to perform our duties if we had faults related to either behavior or even how we perform for the jobs we have been required to do."

Henry. "It was my earlier days, when I realized that if the controller had known about the reasons of why I had a hard time to build up my steam, that will worry me to believe that I would be turned away or even scraped do to something that I had a hard time performing my duties for the railway."

Edward. "You must understand, when you are an engine once you had performed your duties very well, it is a way for an engine to make good to their controller of performing the duties any engine is built for."

Thomas. "Even if we are built for certain jobs all over the railway, you can still find myself and a few others who would love to learn more about what their class is all about. I had my dreams and my goals I always wanted to find. In the end I had accomplished more than one little Tank engine could do in his or her entire lifetime."

Twilight. "I must admit I am very impressed for you and your friends Thomas, and with the new year almost here. I believe we should get ready before our guests are to arrive." Everyone agreed and before long the dining hall ballroom is ready for their New Year's celebrations to the new year.

Once everything is ready, those who had finished headed home to change into their evening wear, where the ladies are getting prettied up for their dates, as the boys are suiting up to make themselves look good for their ladies when they ask of them for a dance on the dance floor.

In the Rooms of the pony Dormitory, the humanized ponies are getting dressed with the new gowns Rarity and Allison had made for the Mane Seven and Flash Sentry for this particular evening. Everyone is excited especially Pinky Pie since she had invited Cheese Sandwich to be her party going pony with her. While Applejack had gathered her family including the Crusaders who promised to head for the dorms when they begin to feel sleepy even before the night's count down.

Applejack. "Now listen up young ins, we are now going to Sodor for their New Year's Celebrations, I know that this is the first time for any of you all to be a part of this. If any of you begin to feel sleepy eyed, then make no hesitation to return to the dorms for a little nap until count down time."

Apple Bloom. "Are Skarlowey, Rheneas, and the rest of them going to attend the party too?"

Applejack. "That will be up to their controller if they are going to come to the party or not."

Rarity. "Well now darlings I believe it is time we head on towards the dining hall and meet up with our friends there."

Rainbow Dash. "I hear yah, so what are we waiting for?"

Pinky Pie. "IT IS TIME TO Party!"

Starlight Glimmer. "I am ready to go."

Fluttershy. "I am really ready for this party, how about you Discord ready for this new Year party?"

Discord. "I am more than ready my dear Fluttershy."

Twilight. "Flash, Spike are you two ready for this special night?"

Flash Sentry. "I am more than ready Twilight."

Spike. "I am ready Twilight."

Twilight Sparkle. "Alright every pony we are off to the homestead to Celebrate the coming of a new year."

Doodle Loo. "There is no way I am going to miss this mi amigas and amigo Flash."

Ralph Squawks. "This bird is ready to conga to the music my ponies." Then they all exited the dormer and onto the pathways to the Dining hall for the party.

In the homes of the humanized Tugs, Trent and Shawn are almost ready for their night out. Although they would find it more fun if they can invite their loved ones over. However, their loved ones Natalie Shores, and Beverly Norse have gone with their families to visit their relatives on the mainland for the holidays.

Shawn. "Almost ready Trent?"

Trent. "Just about Shawn, I just need to adjust my tie for the night."

Then Oscar Jones. (O. J.) came over to help Trent adjust his tie knowing that the two boys will attend the party without their loved ones for the evening.

Oscar. "I am very sorry that your ladies from school is unable to join you two for tonight. Out of all the couples there tonight, you two will have to carry on without them for this one night."

Trent. "Aw That is alright Oscar, it cannot be helped."

Shawn. "From what we heard that they will return once school resides in a few days."

Zeb Eddie. (Zebedee) "A real shame, I thought you would be sad at the moment for not having your sweethearts not close to you."

Trent. "Yeah well, there's still our other friends who are going to be there too, so we won't be entirely alone."

Shawn. "Girls or not, we are going to have a good time tonight. We can tell them more once they get back from the Mainland." With that both Trent and Shawn are on their way up the trails to the dining hall ballroom.

At the dining hall the doors have just opened to allow the guest to come in, there to arrive first are the Hats without the grandchildren knowing they are not ready to stay past their bedtime yet. There to greet Thomas was Sir Topham Hat and Lady Hat as they entered while James helped removed their coats and placed them in the closet.

Thomas. "Good evening Sir and Ma'am, I am assuming that Dowager Hat is at home watching the grandchildren?"

STH. "Indeed, she is, and what a wonderful way to have your dining hall look so grand."

Thomas. "A Big thanks to everyone who lend a helping hand or in the case of the visitors from Equestria hoof in bringing this dining hall the way it is tonight."

Soon more guest are arriving to the homestead and to everyone's surprise the Royals sisters have arrived in their human form to take part in this year's celebrations. The ponies are most surprised in their appearance.

Twilight. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, what a surprise."

Thomas. "Welcome back your highnesses."

Celestia. "Twilight and Thomas, it is so wonderful to meet up with the two of you again."

Luna. "As much as I would like for us to remain with the rest of our subjects back home, we find this to be just as delightful to be part of a new year's celebrations with you here on the homestead of young Billinton and Vulcan."

Thomas and Rosie. "Thank you, your highnesses."

Then the sisters are off to talk to the controller and his wife just as their humanized tug friends came in along with someone who everyone thought was not due back until the following week.

Rosie. "Natalie, and Beverly, we thought you were not due back until next week."

Natalie. "Well my mom was on what my dad was up to and demanded that we head back to sodor to be part of this year's celebrations."

Thomas. "I have a feeling that your mom is the reason of what keeps your family together Natalie."

Natalie. "Believe me if my mom knows of what my dad is up to, she will not hesitate to make sure he is put in his place."

Rosie. "Has he always been like this Natalie?"

Natalie. "Not since I started seeing Trent. Since then he felt he needed to protect me while my mom reminds him that I am not to be tied to anyone he wanted me to meet up. That usually means no one."

Thomas. "How does you mom do make it so; we never had any parents in our lives before. But I do wonder what it would it be like if Rosie had a dad in her life. I would have a feeling that he will make me feel down about wanting to date Rosie."

Rosie. "I would definitely be upset if I had a dad you act like yours, I mean Thomas had done so much for this Island, and the thanks he would get is a slam in the face of a door. Not in my lifetime if I had such a dad."

Natalie. "That is because my mom can get strict on my dad's behavior, making sure he does not do anything that can endanger his family in the process."

Rosie. "I guess that is the reason why he acted the way he did during the floods this past spring."

Natalie. "That was the most dangerous ideas my dad had ever done in his life. That is the reason why no one wanted to come too close to him if he had these negative views on those who helped Sodor the way it is now."

Thomas. "Do you believe he will ever learn his lessons about humans who were once Sentient machines who are now walking among the rest of humanity?"

Natalie. "That will be up to my dad, he is going to convince me and my mother that he has no longer any intentions of coming between anyone I hope to meet up with. That should be my choice not his."

Rosie. "How about you Beverly. Was is your dad's idea to lead your family away for the holidays?'

Beverly. "No, my grandmother was sick, so my family offered to have a Christmas at her house, That way she was not alone on Christmas. We decided to head back before the Celebrations of the new year was to come so here, we are."

Rosie: "Well welcome back and just in time to see some lonely faces coming into view." Everyone turned into View Trent Dimes and Shawn Brightly. They were both stunned about seeing before them their ladies who they thought were not coming back unit after New Year's was over.

Trent. "Natalie, hey how come you are her and not on the mainland." He said as he came over and gave her a welcome home hug and a warm kiss on the cheek for a hello back.

Natalie. "We just came back this afternoon, when my mom had realized of why we were on the mainland instead of here for the holidays, she made sure my dad is to return after our Christmas was over where we were."

Shawn. "Where exactly have you gone if you were not here?"

Beverly. "I was visiting my grandmother who was ill this Holiday season that is why we made that special trip to make sure she was not alone for Christmas."

Thomas. "That sounded like the Christmas we thrown for Mrs. Kindley when she was ill in bed when she had to save me and Toby from a nasty accident when the landslide had occurred back then."

Natalie. "As for my family, we went to the mainland for Christmas. Many of us were puzzled about the places we were staying until my mother found out why we went on the trip to begin with and started to stare at my dad for his behavior."

Trent. "I just hope your dad, does not do anything he can regret later if he is not too careful about me hanging around you Nattie."

Natalie. "If he does my mom will definitely makes sure he will regret his decisions."

Shawn. "Well enough about that why don't we just come in and have fun for the night?"

Beverly. "Now you are talking my Sunny sun." Shawn just beamed and glowed when she calls him Sunny Sun.

Shawn. "Oh, she is defiantly mine." Then takes off to find his sweetheart for the evening. While Trent with Natalie in his hand decided to join the two just as the international students had arrived to take part. First to enter was Gina and Ashima looking for their guys to spend their time with.

Gina. "Hello Thomas."

Thomas. "OH, Hello Gina, you too Ashima. Both of you are looking good."

Rosie. "Getting international interest Thomas?"

Thomas leaned closer to Rosie so only she can hear him over the other two. "They may be nice looking but to me you are the one I am looking forward in kissing tonight my Rosie Rose."

Then Oliver and Ryan showed up to see their ladies have arrived to take part in the party tonight.

Oliver. "Hey there beautiful Roman goddess to my heart, ready to make your way into my heart love?"

Gina. "Oliver, I am looking forward in spending my time with you my little western love."

Oliver. "Then by all means my Gina, let us dance the night away just in time for the count down."

Ryan. "There you are Ashima, I was wondering how long I have to wait until I see your beauty light up my life beautiful."

Ashima. "Your wait had come to an end my Ryan, come let us join up with our friends on the dance floor."

Soon everyone had gathered on the dance floor. Edward and Duck helped provided the music. While the Apple family had helped serve out the food. While the two sets of twins Bill, Ben, Sunny, and Sidney are chasing each other around the dining hall. Nia helped the Skarlowey boys and the Crusaders find proper drinks the kids can have. While the Skarlowey boys and the Crusaders played games to help allowed time to pass long enough were everyone had their bite to eat.

Before long, it will be time for the count down. The Skarlowey boys are still wide awake until after countdown they will be heading for home. The crusaders are also still wide awake as they and the buys are still playing a nice set of games to pass the time until the announcement of the countdown to the new year.

Peter Sam. "I thought last year's New Year's Eve party was amazing, tonight is even more fun now we have other friends besides our other engine friends."

Apple Bloom. "I do not know if we can do this every year, after all we are only here when our sisters are here."

Sweetie bell. "You may have your school here, but we still have our own school back in Equestria to attend until our time is up there."

Sir Handle. "It is alright, It is nice to know that there are others besides Sentient machines who are also walking among the humans too."

Then Thomas noticing the time decided to get everyone's attentions to have everyone ready when the time reaches midnight.

Thomas. "Attention please!" he said as he tapped his glass for everyone to look up to him on the stage. "Thank you everyone, I would like to take this time to say how wonderful of a year we just had. Unlike last year when we all had the experience of becoming humans allowing for our engine sides to continue the work while we attend high School to gain the educations we never got to have until now. Along the way we met up with new friends who found themselves able not only walk along with us. But also found those who are willingly try our way of life besides of the one they already have at home. I just wanted to take this time to say. Thank you everyone here on this wonderful Island of Sodor, and of those who are visiting us from the world of Equestria. With out your support of us, we would not have had the experiences and the friends we have along the way to make this occasion possible." Everyone applauded before deciding to hand the Mic to Twilight for her to place her own words for the night.

Twilight. "I would like to say, how wonderful of and experience we had while visiting your world, if it was not for Thomas here we would not know of where to stay on this Island when the threat was announced, and remained to stay until the danger has passed. Since then, When the rest of my friends had remained back home. I took the opportunity to learn more about your world. That way the lessons we learn here will be part of what the magic of friendship is all about to our own students back home." Then Twilight stepped down while Trent decided to step up to announce his peace.

Trent. "I have not Idea of what to say, except that me and my friends are all grateful for your support when some of my friends and I decided to become part of the human life. While most of our friends remained in the harbor as Tugboats, those who remained decided to give school a try and found it not so bad. If anything, the experience of becoming human, helped open our eyes of what we can also achieve once any of us are given a chance of life beyond our original forms. So, I can say my friends and I who are with you tonight would like to take this time to say thank you for your support and thank you for the memories of this pass year as I can see the clock counting down." Everyone can see that the count down is about to be announced. Thomas came back to the podium

Thomas. "Alright everyone get ready as we begin the countdown from."

Everyone. "12. 11.10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3.2. 1.

Happy new Year!"

The bells were told, and the celebrations of the new Year had begun. The crusaders and the Narrow-gauge boys were waving their glasses as couples came together for a new year's kiss to their loved ones. Just as everyone had come together for this fun and festive night. Discord danced with Fluttershy, While Rainbow dash had a visit from a school friend who believes she was Awesome.

"". "Hello Ms. Rainbow Dash." Rainbow turned to see one of the other students who is also part of one of the baseball teams the homesteaders had formed earlier in the year.

Rainbow Dash. "Oh, hello may I help you?"

"". "I was wondering if you would like to dance with me tonight?" Rainbow's face went all smiley when she was asked this.

Rainbow. Speaks silently. "OH my gosh, oh my gosh. You want to dance with me?"

"". "Yes, I would be most honored to have your hand this evening?'

Rainbow. "OH yes, um?"

Cameron. "Cameron, Cameron Nelson to be precise."

Rainbow. "OH wow. Yes, Cameron I would like to dance with you."

The two took off for the dance floor while Twilight and Flash took to dancing on the dance floor, the same with discord and fluttershy, Cheese sandwich was dancing with Pinky Pie while Rarity and Applejack wonders who will be there for them when they need that special some pony one day.

Applejack. "My resolution is to find the time to find that special some pony that can help me become complete."

Rarity. "You and me both Applejack, you and I need to find that special pony in our lives one day."

Spike. "What! What about me? Am I your special some pony to you Rarity?"

Rarity. "You are special Spike, but for right now not when you are a dog my dear spikey wikey."

Spike. "Ah well."

The party went on just as Thomas, Twilight, and Trent came to us to present us an announcement to all of us.

Thomas. "From all of us here Celebrations the new year's her on this wonderful Island of Sodor,"

Trent. "From all of us to all of you from the bottoms of our hearts."

Twilight. "We will like to take this time to spread the friendship to those on this festive New year's event. We all three will like to take this time to say."

Thomas, Trent, and Twilight Sparkle. "Happy New Year!" Then the three had returned to their friends and loved ones to continue the night until everyone decided it was best to call it a night and to begin the new year on a better day.
