We return to our friends as they meet up in the cafeteria for lunch, as they do so, Hutson had met up with the rest of the humanized ponies and met up with the other friends of the ponies so everyone had a good time as everyone waited for Applejack to arrive. Little did they all know that Spencer had found what was described from Twilight Sparkle from the day before. The lovey love gem he had found just outside of his place of stay near the international boarding house where he shares it with the other International students. As Spencer made his way to the lunchroom he was stopped in the hall with Ho-Mei the humanized tank engine from China who had bumped into him by mistake. When they collided, the item known as the love gem had fallen out of Spencer's pocket and onto the floor in between the two.
Spencer and Ho-Mei; "Oof."
Spencer: "Hey why don't you watch were you were going little China girl."
Ho-Mei: "Excuse me Spencer I was in a rush to meet up with my friends for the next party at Thomas's homestead."
Spencer just scoffed. "Humph, always looking forward to the parties on Thomas's homestead, why not have a party available for the international Boarding house? I mean we can have the space all we have to is make the arrangements to bring everyone to the boarding house for the party."
Ho-Mei: "The international Boarding house is too small for the number of friends that come to these parties every time Thomas throughs one. Thomas had the room; the international boarding house is too small. Besides I like coming to his place where we get to see much more of the island from this place."
Spencer. "What is it about Thomas's homestead that is so appealing to everyone around here any ways?"
Ho-Mei: "For one it is very rare for any one to get anything without backup with someone who care enough about Thomas and his friends when they became humanized. Not too many people would do that Spencer, not that many places would see us as any different if we were not from engines from our own countries Spencer. We keep coming to Thomas's homestead to give us inspirations of what we can do once we can get enough experience and knowledge to allow us to find the futures we can find once we get there."
Spencer. "Just another dreamer like Thomas and the others."
Ho-Mei: "They are not just dreamers, at least they have taken big steps in trying to find their futures, that is why I hope to join his program this year. That way I can get a working experience of what the holiday makers would appreciate the most about This Island of Sodor."
Spencer. "Well I had enough about this little debate, now I believe I had dropped something as you collided with me. Now where that little piece of rock gone to?"
The two of them looked around until it was spotted by Rajiv about finding the special gem just before his feet.
Rajiv. "Ah now this looks interesting." He says as he picked up the piece just as Ho-Mei came over to help Rajiv locate the gem for Spencer. "Now isn't this item look splendid along with my crown Ho-Mei?"
Ho-Mei. "Only if it was not lost to Spencer Rajiv."
Rajiv. "Oh, I am so sorry about that Spencer. Here Ho-Mei why don't you give it to spencer for me?" As he was doing so the flash of the gem took hold of both Ho-Mei and Rajiv and in an instant the two found themselves head over heals over each other without explanation. "Oh, my how lovely of a Chinese flower you must be Ho-Mei."
Spencer was confused. "Huh!"
Ho-Mei. "Oh, Rajiv you say the loveliest things, why haven't you shown your romantic side before?"
Rajiv. "I have no idea, but are you keen of finding out if you and I are a real pair or not?"
Ho-Mei. "Why don't we wait until what they have come up with. Until then why don't I treat you to Chinese food tonight?"
Rajiv. "I do not believe I ever had Chinese food Ho-Mei, maybe you can fill me in on what this Chinese food is all about after school today?"
Ho-Mei. "Sounds good to me Rajiv, after School around 5 pm."
Rajiv. "Alright Ho-Mei, see you then."
Then the two parted ways but not before Ho-Mei had returned the gem to Spencer, as the on looker was just confused about what had taken place just now.
Spencer. "Now how in the world did that happen, and what will ho-Mei's real date will react to something like this?" Then walked out of the building until school resides.
In the Cafeteria Huston and Applejack had just met and are already trading stories about farming between this world versus farming back in Equestria. Everyone can tell this was a good match up for Applejack and Hutson.
Later as class was over for the day, and everyone was heading home, while still inside Thomas had gathered his things for the railway knowing it will be time to travel down the rails with Ryan down his branch line. Thomas was about to leave when Rosie and Ashima had arrived and met up with the two before departing their own ways.
Rosie just came up and hoped onto Thomas's back while Ashima came over and placed her hands over Ryan's eye for fun.
Ashima. "Any ideas from you handsome men of our lives?"
Rosie. "I do believe they know for sure what is in our thinking caps."
Ryan. "That you Ashima needed a lift to your job at the Pizzeria."
Thomas. "And you Rosie, could not help but to wait for the day to be done as we find our special time together."
The girls. "That is right." Then everyone laughed before heading out the door for their destinations beyond school.
Ashima. "We were hoping to meet up at the Pizzeria for the planning stages for the Valentine's day dance."
Thomas. "As long as we finish with our time on the branch line Ashima we will meet up with our pony friends before they have to return home to their world for the night."
Rosie. "And Sunset Shimmer will still be here until Doodle Loo can help find her a set of doors to her home the world she came from."
Ryan. "That is why some of the homesteaders are busy making the new room for Sunset. That way if she needed time away from the world, she calls home, then she does not have to travel far to do so."
Ashima. "I am glad that Sunset has a place to stay until she can return to her home and school with her Canterlot high school Friends." This is when Sunset and Starlight came up for hoping a ride back to the homestead.
Sunset Shimmer. "I am really glad you have taking this opportunity to help someone who is the only one of me you will see between the world I call home and this place."
Thomas. "Just remember to let your friends from the other side to know of your wellbeing. That way they will not be too worried about your absence from their world."
Sunset. "I have been doing that since day one of being here Thomas."
Ryan. "Good because right now we need to drop you two along with you pony friends back at the homestead then to drop you Ashima off before we are to report to the Railway yard for work this afternoon."
Starlight. "by the way have any of you noticed Ho-Mei and Rajiv lately. I know that they are friends too, but I never seen them, so love struck before."
Ashima. "Rajiv is not one to go out with someone like Ho-Mei, he feels for someone more differently than that."
Thomas. "I do not know of what had come over those two today, but whatever it is I just hope they are not just dreaming this kind of love, and then waking up to reality of it."
Then the party of friends had departed and headed off for their destinations for the day.
Back at the homestead everyone who was not working down by the railway were rearranging in the dormers of the ponies. They are helping put together the room for Sunset Shimmer after learning how the ponies of Equestria had learned about the reality doors from Equestria, are now placing some in her room for her use. Sunset felt excited about this and know that her friends from Canterlot high will want to come here too but to determined who were the real ponies while sorting out her Canterlot friends. The she writes in the journal of Princess twilight to the journal to the Sci- Twi back into her world about all that took place there that day.
Sunset Shimmer. "This was a real good day to know the pony version of our Applejack had an admirer from the American Continent and wanted to learn about the farming from the pony world. I cannot imagine a better pair that Hutson and Applejack together talking about farming and what they did to provide not only for their families but for their communities too. Well next time I hope there will be good news about the doors to my room here. But I do need to remind you ladies is that if you ever come here it will be nearly impossible to separate the ponies from you since in this world, we cannot tell you two apart. I will tell you all more tomorrow everyone, till then this is Sunset Shimmer saying good night my friends I will return home soon."
On the other side of the reality gate from the Canterlot world, Sci- Twilight Sparkle shares the latest news from Sunset shimmer with her Canterlot Friends. Applejack felt a little bit envious about the pony version of her gets to find such a great guy.
Rainbow Dash. "That is so cool, the pony versions of us are have a great time."
Applejack. "Not to mentioned on how the pony version of me gets to find that someone special, and we have no way of going there without the confusion of know which of our friends are who."
Sci Twi. "Let us not forget that the residents of that homestead are helping Sunset out until they can find a way to bring her back here without coming through the statue again for weird reason."
Fluttershy. "It sounds like real fun to hear how they are coming up with a Valentine's day dance, that will be so lovely."
Pinky Pie. "That also means we cannot come to that party in case we bump into our pony counterparts if we look like them too."
Rarity. "Still that part about who the two students of that school that suddenly came together like that, one would imagine that there was Equestrian Magic about."
Rainbow Dash. "Equestrain Magic?! Equestrian magic there while we are all stuck in our world unable to do anything about it."
Sci Twi. "Rainbow, the last thing we need is to rush to the magic portal to the very place she said had led her to what is called the magic railway, what ever that is. Anyways if there were going to be Equestrian magic, I bet our pony versions of us are well capable handling it better than we can."
Rainbow feeling defeated after the reminder of what she placed everyone through when the last time she went off without thinking. "Oh alright, if any one is better off knowing the presence of Equestian Magic then it will have to be the pony versions of us to deal with when it comes."
Sci Twi. "Good I know that Sunset Shimmer and her friends are just going about their way for the time, if there is going to be any magic, I am sure they will find a way to stop it."
Back on the Island of Sodor, Gina and Ashima are hard at work at the pizzeria and Spencer had arrived to take part in his delivery job for the afternoon. He first checks in to see whose order was first before waiting for the pizza to be ready.
Spencer. "How much longer before the pizza is done Gina?"
Gina. "The pizza will come out as always Spencer, please be patient."
Spencer hates waiting for the pizzas to be ready for deliver, which means he has to do other things before his order was ready for deliver. As he was fixing up the delivery boxes and have his hot bag ready. From behind him was Caitlin from the homestead of Thomas and Rosie. She was working her first day in the Pizzeria when she bumped into Spencer only lightly this time no bump of the gem this time, how ever Spencer was not in the mood to be apologetic.
Spencer. "Hey, watch what you are doing."
Caitlin. "Excuse me Spencer but I am just finding my way around the Pizzeria, this is my first day on the job after all."
Spencer. "Wait a minute, Caitlin you are here?"
Catlin. "Yes Spencer, I was asked from Gina and Ashima if I wanted a place to earn my keep while living on Thomas's homestead, and what better way to earn a living while working in the Pizzeria with Gina and Ashima."
Spencer. "Isn't there anything on the homestead that you can do besides this?"
Caitlin. "Not while there is still snow on the ground and the trails are too iced over to safe traveling in the back-country Spencer. Until then I have decided to come work with Ashima and Gina until the holiday season comes back again."
Spencer. "I see, well try and not get into my way while working here Caitlin, I do not want to see you so messed up on your first day on the job." The Gina came over to make sure Spencer did not do anything to upset Caitlin during her first day on the job.
Gina. "Spencer your order is ready, and do I need to remind you that I am here to help Caitlin to help her understand all that goes on here. You on the other hand needed a reminder or two about who is really in charge here."
Spencer. "Yes, Gina I know." Then goes off to make his deliveries as he was doing so as he passed Catlin the essence of the love gem had surrounded both he and Caitlin in a romantic trance before leaving from each other for Spence to make his run.
Gina noticed this and is worried that Both Spencer and Caitlin may be Falling in love without knowing about. Then she remembers what Twilight Sparkle said about the love gem that can be responsible for a couple to be in love with each other without know much about it. She will have to bring in this information with everyone once the dance committee come to discuss about the plans for the Valentine's day dance.
Down along the Farquarr branch line Thomas and Ryan are finishing up on their rounds for day and are putting Annie and Claribel away for the evening. Then the two came out after stopping the E2 that was once Thomas to a complete stop, then allowing for the crews to switch for night duties. Then Thomas and Ryan waited for their friends to return so everyone can change their clothes before meeting up with their friends to discuss about the Valentine's day dace on the homestead. While both Ryan and Thomas wait for their friends to be done for the day. The two could not help but to wonder what was on Rajiv's and Ho-Mei earlier in the day. Neither had any love interest into each other, and yet somehow, they ended up going out together for Chines food instead of meeting up with everyone else for the dance on the homestead.
Thomas. "I do admit that I can never see Rajiv and Ho-Mei together like that. I mean as a number one engine my self cannot see myself with someone that regal in stature."
Ryan. "You honestly do not believe you could end up as someone as regal as Rajiv Thomas? I bet if the real Regals ever see you, I bet they see a gem of an engine as well as the one who drives such an engine now."
Thomas. "Oh, I doubt that very much Ryan. Remember Spencer with his smudged way of believing what makes an engine like him so grand. Just being the Duke and Duchess grand engine makes him so grand that he had to rub it into our smoke boxes at the time."
Ryan. "I bet you can do better than Silly old spencer anyways, besides you have something about you that Spencer can never become."
Thomas. "Really then what is it that I have that he doesn't?"
Ryan. "You have a greater sense of knowledge about Sodor more than he does Thomas, and you have taken the time to learn the many things he can never learn since he hardly ever visits the homestead not even for one party Thomas."
Thomas. "The lessons my friends and I have learned since our humanization are lessons needed to help us understand what it takes to survive any situation since we live very far from any form of help until it arrives. Plus, the knowledge of the homestead is also credited the amounts of resources present on the homestead where anyone else would overlook it."
Ryan. "You also helped many people who needed the help when they found themselves too exposed to be left out of anywhere along Sodor."
Then Edward and the rest came in to bring in their objectives of what makes Thomas better than Spencer.
Edward. "The biggest one I can say that you have a big heart and a mind to help out your fellow beings whether they came from sentient machines or not. You have risen above of what Spencer himself would never have thought of if the situation was left into his hands."
Thomas. "Thank you, now is everyone ready for home? Then let us go friends." Then the friends went home to change their clothing before picking up the ponies for the meeting.
In the Pizzeria Caitlin and Gina were busy arranging the private room for their friends. As they worked around placing the tables together. Gina could not help but listen Caitlin rambling about Spencer when she originally goes out with Scott. This worries Gina, due to the fact that Scott and Caitlin had been dating for a while now. If Scott was to know of Caitlin's interest is now on Spencer, she fears that Scott's heart will not only break. Gordon will probably want to talk down on Caitlin for breaking his brothers' heart. Not to mention a war between Gordon and Connor.
Caitlin. "Spencer the speedster, Spencer the sweet one."
Gina. "Caitlin, are you alright? Do you really know of what you are talking about?"
Caitlin. "OH yes Gina, Spencer is the nicest, kindest of all the boys of the school?"
Gina. "Are you sure that it is Spencer and not Scott Caitlin?"
Caitlin. "I am sure Gina, there is something about Spencer that I cannot explain. He is something else I cannot explain."
Gina. "Interesting about Spencer, but what about Scott. Surly you still have feelings for him as well Caitlin."
Caitlin. "Gosh I do not know Gina, maybe when the meeting is here, then I can see how Spencer is compared to Scott in such a way."
Gina can tell this could get ugly before it can get better.
Finally, it was time for the meeting, and everyone had gathered including Rajiv and Ho-Mei. For some reason their affair with each other did not last very long. Everyone was about to get a relief before coming across another problem relating with romantic affairs.
Thomas and his group were the first to show. Followed by the international Boarding house was next to arrive. The students from the smelters house had also arrived to take part in the planning. The humanized ponies and Tugboats have arrived also. Then Gina, Ashima and Caitlin came around and finished placing the pizzas out on the serving tables for everyone to gather the slice of the pies.
Pinky Pie. "Did someone say Pie?"
Twilight. "Pinky that was a saying for a slice of pizza in which it is also referred to a pie, you know Pizza Pie."
Pinky. "I do not know of a Pizza Pie; I would have known if I knew of a Pizza Pie in the family or not."
Twilight just groaned.
Thomas. "Alright everyone after we gathered around our seating arrangements then we can begin planning for the Dance."
Rarity. "But of course, Thomas Darling."
Sunset Shimmer. "I am excited for this dance; I just hope the Flash Sentry from my world does not get too jealous about my being here for this valentines day dance if it was not for your Flash Sentry Twilight."
Twilight. "I am sure you can find a way to spend the spotlight with that Flash as my Flash spends his time with me Sunset."
Rainbow dash. "The best part of it that we get to spend it with the special people we have met here who believes we are so Awesome."
Applejack. "From the looks of things, I can say everyone is back on track of normalcy around here since Rajiv and Ho-Mei's love interest did not last that long."
Hutson. "That is so true Applejack, now how shall we deal with this dance on Thomas's homestead everyone."
Emily. "Well Henry Fluttershy and I have come up with the sweet Rose dance everyone."
Rainbow dash could not help but to laugh. "Ha, ha. The Sweet Rose dance, it needs to be more daring everyone, something with a bit more excitement."
Rarity. "Now hold on there Rainbow Dash, this is supposed to be a more romantic event darling, something that can reflect the way one wants to view into their love interests Darling."
Rosie. "I do admit that I did like the Rose part, but the Sweet may mistaken Pinky's ideas for a sweet desert rather than what makes the connections between couples that clear to understand everyone."
Flash. "How about the Sparkling Rose dance, it is a way to show how alluring the effect one's love is to another?"
Twilight. "I think that was a winner Flash, I believe your time with me may make you even more stunning by the day."
Thomas. "I believe that is the perfect name for the dance Flash and Twilight. Do you believe that coming up with some festive Roses will help fill in the atmosphere of the dance floor you two?"
Starlight. "With the help of Twilight and her friends what can go wrong?"
Spike. "Are you sure you want to go there Starlight?'
James. "What does he mean by that girls?"
Pinky pie. "You know it's one of those sayings you end up saying that makes you think twice if something else has yet to announce itself when one says things like Starlight just said."
Rarity. "How about I also come up with the decore for the event darlings?"
Molly. "I say this is a team effort here Rarity as much as we like your creativity, we also may have some ideas of how to pull this."
Percy. "Besides ponies you are working with the Steam team now. We all pitch in to help each other."
Gordon. "We help each other with both big and small jobs."
Duck. "Not just the main steam team, you also have us too. The engines of the little western in which you have two Great western engines and a pair of Caledonian engines working along to keep things moving like we do for the great western Railway."
Diesel. "Not everyone here is a Steamy Duck, since we can also be as hard working as you an be Duck.'
Thomas. "Alright everyone. I believe we can work into teams. Team one is about announcing the time and place of the dance, there fore Percy, Polly, Pinky Pie, and Paxton you four work together and make the Dance invitations."
Percy, Polly, Pinky Pie, and Paxton. "Alright!"
Percy. "In a way I will still do my favorite thing I had before I was removed from my engine shell."
Pinky Pie. "OH, and what was that Percy."
Percy. "I usually pull the mail train, but now I am just helping with the invites to the party."
Shawn Brightly (Sunshine). "Can I help you too Percy and Polly?"
Polly. (Lady) "If you are up for it Shawn, then you can join us."
Shawn. "Yay."
Thomas. "Alright for then decorations of the barn for the dance will rest with, Gordon, Scott James, Rarity Rebecca, and Molly help Decorate the ball room for the event."
Gordon. "Of course, Thomas."
Rebecca. "I love to help."
James. "No problem Thomas."
Molly. "You better mean that Mr. Hughes."
Rarity. "Better not disappoint there James."
Rosie. "I believe some of the ladies and I are capable of preparing the refreshment table everyone."
Applejack. "I know my family and I are more than willingly help out with that part Rosie."
Hutson. "I can also make some of the party favors everyone."
Henry. "Oliver, Emily, Donald and Douglas are helping me arrange the floral and décor for the dance floor."
Sunset. "I think of sticking around for that Henry and Emily."
Emily. "Sounds good to me Sunset."
As everyone was chatting away, Thomas and Rosie could not help but to noticed their international friends not talking to each other rather than Gina and Ashima. This got the attention of both Gina and Ashima too, both realized that something was going on and decided to ask bot Rajiv and Ho-Mei about it first.
Gina is now walking towards Ho-Mei. "Ho-Mei do you want to talk about what happen between Rajiv and yourself today?"
Ho-Mei looked into Rajiv's direction before readdressing Gina about her uneasy discovery for Rajiv earlier in the day.
Ho-Mei. "How can I say this without saying anything misleading about anyone?"
Gina. "Does this have anything to do with your event with Rajiv earlier today?"
Ho-Mei. "I do not know of what happened, I was originally heading for the lunchroom today, when for all of the sudden I had this overwhelming feeling for someone who I had not original feelings for. "
Ashima came up to hear it more along with Gina about Ho-Mei's experience. "Can you have described of how you had feelings for him from before. To no longer having those feelings for him afterwards?"
Ho-Mei. "All I can remember before that bazar feeling I had for him, I just ran into spencer earlier that day about the meeting for the dance and why he has a hard time finding time with another. After Spencer had mentioned of dropping something from his pocket before it was picked up by Rajiv before he handed it to me before handing it back to Spencer in the process."
Gina. "When did you had that feeling when you thought you had fallen for Rajiv, Ho-Mei?'
Ho-Mei. "Just as Rajiv had found the piece of a pink and red Quarts that Spencer previously had fallen out of his pocket. Then I came up to Rajiv to let Spencer back his pebble and that is when that strange feeling came over both Rajiv and me."
Gina and Ashima were worried, so were Thomas, Rosie, and Twilight Sparkle after remembering what Twilight had described the effects of the Love gem that may be in the hands of the humanized Silver engine and may not be aware of its properties.
Thomas. "Twilight you had mentioned about the effects of the love gem that may be in the hands of Spencer?'
Twilight. "I did, but I had not imagined it would show up on the Island of Sodor, It is usually kept safe in the Canterlot Archives."
Sunset joins in the conversation. "Could it be that someone was in there trying to find the Gem for some reason outside of Equestria?"
Rosie. "I think we need to talk to Spencer before it gets out of hand."
It Looks like the presence of the love gem may have gotten our friends into high gear. Will Spencer get the message, or will there be more love-struck problems that can rock the strongest of relationships? We will find out on the return to Northwestern High School year 2.
