World Holidays collide.

The discovery of the Diamond Dogs on Sodor has baffled everyone during the events from the Thanksgiving Celebrations. The horse teams for the sleigh rides almost ended up in Equestria, if it was not for the overly dramatic act of Rarity who knew how to chase the Diamond Dogs back to Equestria. While the mystery was still on everyone's mind, it is best to learn about the events another day. It is now that time of year for both worlds have decorated their homes and the dormers for the Holiday season. The humanized engines and tugboats have decorated their homes for Christmas, while the ponies have decorated their dormers for not only Christmas but for their Holiday Hearts and Hooves day. Both Sides have explained what each holiday from both worlds are about. While the faiths of the world of Thomas and his friends are the determination factor for their Holiday. The pony's holiday was based on how the history of Equestria had a hand on how the events from long ago managed to bring the Holiday of Heart over hooves day.

Thomas and Rosie are taking this time in the woods to find a Christmas trees not only for their home, but for the Dining hall as well. They along with Thomas's sister Ariel, Emily, Henry, and for the pony dormer Twilight, Applejack, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders and for the first time Babs Seed are helping each other find the best trees not only for the Homestead square, but for each of the livable dwellings on the homestead.

Apple Bloom had seen what appears to her as an Ideal tree. "How about this one?"

The everyone has seen that it was half grown.

Applejack. "It has some more years to its growth Apple Bloom, let us try another." Apple Bloom agrees until Sweetie bell have seen a much taller tree.

Sweetie Bell. "How about this one everyone and pony?"

Then everyone can see it is tall but too tall for any of the dwellings.

Emily. "A tree like that definitely will please the Earl of Sodor up in Ulfstead Castle, but not for our homes and not for the Square."

Thomas. "Come along with me and Henry, we both found this spot during the earlier parts of summer, before all that nonsense with the fallen light guardian."

Henry. "Thomas and I had found this spot to have plenty of trees ready to be use for Christmas."

Twilight. "Alright then friends let us go and find this spot."

Then the group heard the voices of the narrow-gauge boys along with some of the humanized tugs, Trent Dimes (Ten cents) and Shawn Brightly (Sunshine).

Babs Seed. "Hey you hear that?"

Scoot a Loo. "Yeah it sounds like our friends from the Scarlowey Railway and the humanized Star Tugs."

Ariel. "Looks like they are out tree hunting too."

Then the boys had caught up with the group in hopes in finding their own Christmas trees.

Cutie mark Crusaders. "Hello everyone."

Skarlowey Boys. "Hello everybody."

Trent dimes. "I suppose everyone is here to find a suitable tree for their homes, right?"

Peter Sam. "That is correct Trent, as you can see, we are here to find a tree for the Narrow-gauge house."

Sir Handle. "And since our friends the Cutie Mark Crusaders are here, we can help each other in finding the trees we want for the homes."

Sweetie Bell. "That is a nice offer Sir Handle."

Apple Bloom. "By the way this is my cousin Babs Seed, this is her first visit to this world."

Luke. "Nice to meet you Babs Seed."

Babs Seed. "No problem, so shall we make a team to see if we can find the best tree for the homes?"

Thomas. "Why don't we have a fun time picking the trees for the homes and the ones we choose will be tied with a special ribbon to take back into their homes." Then they all heard the voice of Rainbow dash hearing about picking the best trees in the forest.

Rainbow Dash. "Did I hear, lets make it a fun time picking Christmas trees?" Then she dashed her way to the groups surprising everyone. "I bet if I can find the best trees the allow for me to place the ribbons on for you?"

Twilight. "Thomas suggested we choose the trees we want to use for the homes, it is a way for the skarlowey boys and The Crusaders a chance to team work together and find the best trees they can find in the forest that Thomas and Henry suggested had the best trees for Christmas and hearts over hooves day."

Dunkin. "You need to explain to us who are not from Equestria about the importance of your Hearts over Hooves day."

Scoot a loo. "As much you need to help us explain the importance of Christmas in your world Dunkin."

Rosie. Speaks as she chuckled. "Come on everyone while there is still good day light left."

That is what everyone did.

Back on the homestead everyone else was at work decorating much of the homestead while the groups are away into the woods for the trees. Everyone was in a festive mood, James, Percy, and the Scottish twins help decorate the engine dormer, while Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinky Pie, and Flash Sentry decorate their dormers not only for Christmas but for Heart over Hooves day. Duck and Oliver were busy making some bush craft lawn decoration for the lawns on the homestead. There were crafted sleighs made from logs and wooden reindeer to make it look festive. Nia, Rebecca, Polly, and Molly help gather as much materials that will help their homes as unique. The Gresley boys are helping everyone along the way, Scott and Ryan were most helpful by stringing up the lights and clearing out areas for the Christmas tree Thomas and his party plan to bring back. As for Gordon and Spencer, they are in a heated debate on who was better on snowboarding.

Spencer. "Yes, if it was not for that imposter snow beast then I would have beaten Henry down that slope last winter."

Gordon. "From what I heard from those who went down hill that day, that you were not only showing off, but you rudely ran past every downhill boarder slushing snow in their faces to the point of making them fall to their knees before they reached the bottom."

Spencer. "They were just merely in my way. Either for them to clear the way or get a face full of snow for not doing so."

Then Scott came over and helped stop the arguments between Gordon and Spencer. "That is enough you two." Then Scott was stern to both Gordon and Spencer. "This is not the time to silliness; we are here to help each other decorate the homestead for Christmas. We do not want for our effort be short because of your silly boasting about snowboarding and being rude to your companions on your outings."

Gordon. "We would not be having these arguments if Spencer was not too boastful about being an expert on snowboarding."

Then James came up after hearing what he had heard from Spencer about being an expert on the snowy slopes as a snowboarder.

James. "You have as much experience as I do Spencer, at least I practice downhill snowboarding, while you had to wait until everyone else had their turn for you to go last from the rest of us who wanted to learn as well."

Jessica. "Spencer has been such a showoff from the courses we had last year that the instructor had to teach him after the rest of us had our lessons for the day. That way there was no one around when Spencer was given the instructions given to us by in instructor at the time."

Jasper. "Face it Spencer, you cannot go for one day without showing off, and show any form of compassion towards anyone. Now if we are finished about anyone considered being better on anything or not, we are still in the middle of decorating the homestead for both Christmas and what the ponies call Hearts over Hooves day."

Spencer just sniffed about the topic of Hearts over Hooves day. "Hearts over Hooves day, I never heard such a term before." Then Rarity, Starlight and Pinky Pie came up and helped explained what Hearts and Hooves day was about.

Starlight. 'If you must know Spencer, Hearts over Hooves day is a day from our world of Equestria, where we become as warm full as anyone here would be during your Christmas Holiday season. Except it fell under different circumstances than the Christmas Story." Then the ponies help tell the stories of the Equestrian elders, and their involvement in the placement of Ponyville and where the magic of Friendship is at its best. Then explain what wind egos are and what can cause the windegos to appear in their world especially when the races of ponies end up in bitter arguments that can allow the appearance of windegos in the first place.

Back into the forest Thomas and his party also heard from Twilight and Applejack about hearts over hooves day as they all found the trees marked by the cusaders and found the right one for the Homestead square.

Thomas. "That was an amazing story behind your hearts over hooves day Twilight."

Rosie. "A lot more different from the story behind Christmas and how earth and natural mysteries help explain the wonders of a single gift of life into becoming one who will test the rest of man of how to life and help search and find the truth even if it meant facing death to find it."

Twilight. "I have read all that happened before that time and all the other times when the mysteries of the earth help play out the event in what was call the Biblical times."

Henry then came up with an idea. "How about after we find the trees for the homes and the Square. You know how we set up what is known as the nativity. Why not help make something similar to help explain more about the events that led up to your hearts and hooves day. That way if anyone want to wonder what your display is all about, you can help explain what the story behind Hearts and Hooves day in your world."

Rainbow Dash. "That is awesome, I like that Idea."

Applejack. "I recon we can do something like that here, wouldn't you say so too Twilight?"

Twilight. "Not a bad idea there Henry, when we do get back to the homestead, we can gather the rest our pony friends and help come up a display to help explain what Hearts and hooves day is all about."

The humanized ponies. "Yeah!"

Then the Crusaders and the Skarlowey boys begin to see the trees and started to race up to the trees they found the most ideal for the homestead. Scoot a Loo ran up to the first one she found to be a good tree.

Scoot a Loo. "I found a good one."

Then Sweetie bell and Peter Sam also found a great looking tree for the Skarlowey house. "We found a good one."

Soon each of the trees any of the Skarlowey or the Cutie Mark Crusaders have found they were checked over and marked before Thomas and Henry got to work Cutting down the trees for both their homes along with Edward hunting Cabin, The guest house where the Gresley boys call home. The engine dormers, the pony dormers, one for the dining hall, and the biggest one they can find for the center of the Homestead Square. Then help find the trees for the humanized Tugs and their Skarlowey friends before everyone had said their goodbyes before everyone headed back to their homes with the trees in tow. Before they managed to bring the trees back, they realized they needed their horses help. So while Rosie and Ariel remained with the trees with the skarlowey boys and the crusaders, Thomas, Henry, Emily and Twilight went back to the homestead and asked the help the Scottish twins in helping bring back a good bundle of Christmas trees with the help of Whiskey and Scotch.

Donald. "Ah, No Problem there Thomas, and Henry, let us load up our teams to we can get the Christmas trees ready for our use here."

Douglas. "Aye and it looks like we are not the only ones who wanted to help load up the trees for the homestead." Douglas was correct when the word got around that Thomas and Henry had found some good Christmas trees, they all decided to head along with them to help load up the trees to the head of the homestead.

James. "Why don't we all go and hope we can find the best tree for our living conditions."

Rarity. "When it comes to the finest taste in decorator, look no further than me to make the Homestead come more alive darling."

Thomas. "Henry and I already marked our own trees, and which one is going to be the square tree while the other marked on is going into the Dining hall."

Twilight. "let us just load up the wagons with the trees and after both Tick and Tock and the Clydesdales teams take the marked Christmas trees to the designated dormers and homes. While everyone will pick out their tree for their homes on the homestead."

Nia. "Why not, after all we will see what there would be left once the ones who picked their trees out. The trees will be left over for us to pick out for our homes."

Soon the horse teams were ready to head down the trails directed by their owners to help find the trees already loaded onto the wagons ready for the trip back home. As soon as the teams came up, the horse team drivers are busy loading their horses to the wagons loaded up with Christmas trees. Then as the horses are ready the drive teams were loaded up in the driver's seat and Thomas gave out a chant to let his teams of what is going on.

Thomas. "Tick and Tock, Tick and Tock let us head home and be jolly as we bring home the joy of Christmas with a clip and a clop."

Both Tick and Tock know when Thomas says this little chant, they know that Thomas is brining things back to the homestead to help decorated it for Christmas. Scotch and whiskey also learned about the chants and learn that this chant was to help bring a joy of Christmas back to those who needed a good jolly Christmas. Off the teams went along their Holiday Cargo and begin to unload the trees to their destinations. The Tug house where Trent and Sunshine live along with Zeb Eddie, (Zebedee) and Oscar Jones, (O. J.).

Then the teams had reached the dormers of the ponies and the ponies came over and gathered their tree to be placed in their common room. Then Thomas's team had stopped by the Engine Dormers where Jessica, Jasper, Oiver, Duck and everyone else in the dormers help find the tree for their dormer and helped everyone else to set the tree inside.

Then the teams stopped by the Hunting Cabin where Edward, Holly, Boco, Daisy, and the China Clay twins came out to find their tree and set it up inside where Bill and Ben help decorate the tree with the woodland decorations they had made during their Art Class where they can learn how to make earth crafts.

Then The twins stopped by the Gresley home where Scot and Ryan felt it will be their duty to pick the suitable tree knowing how much Gordon and Spencer like big things. To Scott and Ryan, a nice healthy-looking Christmas tree should be enough to be part of their dwellings.

Finally, Thomas and Henry helped unload the tree for the dining Hall, and during their stay, decided to set up the tree and the following morning everyone will help decorate the tree. Then Henry was finally going to place his tree in his home while Emily, Ariel, and Rosie help direct on where to place the tree once it was in the homes and into it's base. Both Emily and Henry decided to decorate their tree the following day. Now Thomas, Rosie and Ariel are able to bring in their tree into the Billington home. After finding the base for the tree by Ariel, Thomas and Rosie helped bring in the tree. With Ariel help guide her brother and his girlfriend on where to place the tree, Thomas must remember he is dealing with his sister who can be just as cheeky as he can be.

Thomas. "If you miss guide us while bringing in the tree, your behind will be placed where the horses are sis."

Ariel. "Are you suggesting that I can get cheeky dear brother."

Thomas. "Remembering you, yes." Everyone laughs knowing how much both Billingtons like to make mischief with each other. Rosie felt she needs to intervein.

Rosie. "Alright you two, you need to be on your best behavior, and I will not tolerate any back lashing. Do I make myself clear?"

Thomas. "yes love."

Ariel. "Loud and Clear Rosie."

Rosie. "Tell you what. Why don't I help direct you where to place the tree, and all the two of you need to do is follow directions. Alright?"

Thomas. "Well I suppose so darling."

Ariel. "Fine by me Rosie." Then after Rosie opened up the door to allow for Thomas and Ariel bring in the tree after finding the tree base to set the tree in before Rosie came down and starting to tighten up the bolts to keep the tree straight and secured. After which the tree had plenty of water to keep it as green as possible until the end of the Christmas season where Thomas plans to use the wood for projects around the homestead. They placed the tree in the corner of the log home next to the fireplace where they all agreed it looked warm and festive. Then Rosie remembered to find their ornaments, tonight they decided to decorate their tree with strands of dried fruits and berries to make the tree smell so sweet. Then placed the garland around the mantel of the fireplace. Then Thomas screwed in the hooks into the mantle to hang the stockings. Knowing their home is usually the place where everyone will gather on Christmas Morning, decided to place a table and help mark out of which gifts are for whom.

Everywhere the homestead was looking very festive and happy. So happy that Twilight and her friends decided to stay long enough to marvel on how Thomas and his home folk found the time and joy of placing their tree, while each took time of telling the tales before everyone ever came to sodor. Thomas wanted to tell the tales of how he first came to Sodor realizing that this will be 75 yrs since the announcement of the Railway Series books thanks to the effort of the late Reverend Wilbert Awdry , and his son Christopher who was the reasons the Railway series was made in the first place. To help children find comfort in something that can spark something special.

Rosie. "You know it will be soon your 75th anniversary of the railway Series by the Thing Clergyman."

Thomas. "And it is almost 105 yrs since my arrival on the Island of Sodor Rosie, Cannot believe the amount of time that went by since."

Ariel. "You know may be there should be some memoriam for you and your friends brother, knowing how much you and your friends had to go through so much since your builds. You yourself Thomas was built during world war 1."

Thomas. "Back then I had no Idea what the War was about, since going through high school, I now know of the cause. The war it turned out ended in stalemate, when years later the results of the first war ended part of the second war where Germany started their Ideas of what the world should have been like. When in reality they cannot contain the superpowers of the American and British alike when we believe in the real justice of the war."

Rosie. "I was built during the second world war, when the call went out to find the materials and equipment needed for the war effort. My class was built to help out along the docks of Great Britain and Sodor. I was glad I can on Sodor, after the war ended, Sir Topham Hat decided that I should remain to be part of his Railway. I was most delighted, and I am glad to remain on sodor Where I would one day find the one who means the world to me. My handsome Thomas, your brother Ariel."

Ariel. "I am glad that it worked out in the end for you two. I am just great full to be one of the other E2s that have been left behind because of how one of us can help the remainder of us to be reserved as a tremembrance of our fallen brothers and sisters who did not made it out of the Beeching Cuts."

Thomas. "I am glad that the two that meant the most to me are still here with me in this house Rosie and I started when she and I became human last year. Since then I still count the many blessing that I have in my life. Not only with you two, but with the majority of our friends who are also here with us if we had not had the life here as really useful engines, to the point of becoming part of this railway if it was not for the kind hearted Controller who can really know how to speak to engines."

Then the three came together for a group hug with just the three of them together. Looking into their quarters from the upper level of the Pony Dormer, Twilight and Flash Sentry could not help feeling warm about the closeness Thomas, Ariel and Rosie happen to be.

Twilight just sighed at the site. "Hm. Mm. There is a warm feeling in the air tonight my Flash Sentry."

Flash. "It is nice to see them so happy with each other." Then he turns to Twilight. "Mind if we came close together?"

Twilight realized that Flash wants to comfort Twilight after watching the Billington household. "Sure, I do not mind at all." Then both twilight and Flash came together in a warm embrace as they look out into the starry night. Knowing how much a night like this will make couples when the mood is right. After looking into each other's eyes, the hugged together realizing their relationship is growing more stronger with each other. Twilight knows she is not ready for such commitment, not until she feels ready for him once the time would be right for the two of them. "I am glad that you and I can have such moments like this Flash."

Flash. "Me too Twilight, I had such a hard time convincing myself to confront you on how I felt for you, even if it was just a look, look, I felt nervous when every I wanted to let you know how much I feel for you."

Twilight. "I am glad we had this chance of meeting with the humanized engines and Tugboats. There is more magic in friendship here than anywhere else this planet earth's existence."

Then Flash decided to hold onto Twilight's face for her to face him with a look on his face. Twilight sees what is going on, realizing what Flash wanted to do, she wanted to do something like this too. The two came closer and closer and before they have made contact Pinky Pie had interrupted them surprisingly.

Pinky Pie. "Oh, oh let me guess, you two are about to get even more serious with each other, right?"

Both Twilight and Flash had given her a look of feeling displeased that Pinky Pie had ruined a special moment. Realizing that Pinky Pie made an error of judgement decided it is best to leave the two alone.

Pinky Pie. Slowly slinking away and hope not to make the couple too upset with her. She chuckles as she slinks away. "A ha ha. I am going to go away and only come back when you are not too busy." Then she darts off as both twilight and Flash had to remember of what it was that made them come closer to each other.

Twilight. "Well that was something."

Flash. "Ah where were we?"

Then the two heard laughter coming from the Billington home where there was a popcorn fight with both Thomas and Ariel as they try and string the popcorn over the tree along with some cranberries. Ending up making a mess as Rosie had to come in to help clean up the mess before everyone was to get to bed in the night. This sparks up the sensations between Flash Sentry and Twilight sparkle again about becoming close to each other and before you know it. Both Twilight and Flash came back together again. With a warm embrace they came together and finally after all this time they shared their first kiss under the starry night of Sodor. While they were kissing away spike could not help it but to hear and see everything and could not help but to wag his doggy tail and be happy about Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry finally becoming a couple.


Return next time when the days of Christmas is looming ever closer. What will be brought to the homestead with delight on this holiday season. We will come back and see on the return to Northwestern high School yr. 2.
