Season 3: Love Season

Episode 4 (34): Sunset is Number 1 (Sunset Shimmer x Thomas)

Last time we looked at what Gordon and Rainbow Dash were up to one their first day, next up….

So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. We're now taking a look at Thomas and Sunset walking towards the park, holding hands as they were walking.

Sunset Shimmer: (Squeals) I can't believe it, our first date as boyfriend and girlfriend. How awesome is that, Thomas?

Thomas: I'm sure it is awesome, Sunset, and I'm glad I got to be part of this first date with you, my ray of sunshine.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes, laughs) Oh, you cheeky devil you. You used that line when I described Ray. But, that's sorta true. (Kisses his cheek)

Thomas: (Thoughts) Hmm, this idea I have could make this date even more special and romantic. Plus, she'll see what some of my friends will look at as engines. But first, her hair needs something to make it more special.

He picked out a flower from the ground and faced Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: What's up Thomas?

Thomas: I feel like your hair needs something more to liven it up a little.

She noticed the flower in his hand and she looked up as Thomas slides the flower in her hair. Her eyes glistened and her cheeks flush red.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Are you serious?

Thomas: I am serious, and I think the flower on your hair really suits you.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Oh Thomas, you're so sweet. Come here, you.

She placed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him on the lips as Thomas wraps his arms around her waist. They stay that way for a while until a camera flashed.

Photo Finish: Magnificent! This will totally work perfectly for the tribute for the Steam Team and the Mane 7.

Sunset Shimmer: Photo Finish, I didn't see you there.

Photo Finish: Pardon my intrusion, I didn't want to spoil the moment. And yes, Thomas, my friends and myself heard so much about you, so no need for introduction.

Thomas: Well then, nice to meet you Photo Finish.

Photo Finish: Same to you, now, I go!

Sunset Shimmer: (Chuckles) That's Photo Finish for you, and thanks for the flower Thomas. (Kisses him) I love it.

Thomas: I'm glad you liked it.

Sunset Shimmer: So, what are we going to do for our first date?

Thomas: Well, if you're interested, we could have our date on Sodor if you like.

Sunset Shimmer: (Gasps) Really?!

Thomas: I'm sure of it, the rest of our friends are probably busy with their dates as well. So why not see how Sodor is.

Sunset Shimmer: (Squeals) I would love to go with you!

She wrapped her arms around Thomas and the same goes for Thomas. They remain embraced for a while. They soon head to the statue where the portal is.

Thomas: Ladies first.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Oh Thomas, you're such a gentleman. (Kisses him)

So she stepped into the portal and Thomas followed in suit. Meanwhile, in Princess Twilight's castle, she was reading a Daring Do book with Spike, when she heard the portal open up. So the two got up and went to investigate, hesitant at first, until two figures popped out and landed. They soon notice that it was Thomas and Sunset.

Princess Twilight: Thomas! Sunset!

Sunset Shimmer: Twilight!

The two of them hugged it out and that's when Twilight was approached by Thomas.

Thomas: It's been awhile, since we've seen each other.

Princess Twilight: Yeah Thomas, it's been awhile. Your hair seems different.

Princess Twilight's right, Thomas' mane was the same but he had blue around the top.

Sunset Shimmer: Say, that's a good look for you, future prince. (Snickers)

Thomas: Oh brother.

Princess Twilight: (Laughs) Sunset, always with your jokes.

Thomas: Hence why I love her. (Kisses her cheek)

Princess Twilight: Wait, what?!

Sunset Shimmer: I forgot to write this to you, but me and Thomas are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, but in Equestria, marefriend and coltfriend.

Spike: Oh wow, learn something new every day.

Princess Twilight: Umm, no offense, but when I'm crowned the new ruler of Equestria, Thomas is going to be the next prince for me to rule with.

Sunset Shimmer: I know, but hey, at least I'll be right by his side with my man.

Princess Twilight: (Chuckles) Of course, I won't be in your way of your relationship, and hopefully, I'll see you by my side in the future. So enough about me babbling, what brings you two here?

Sunset Shimmer: Well, Thomas and I are on a very special date in which Thomas invited me on a trip to Sodor. (Squeals) How romantic is that?!

Princess Twilight: I can definitely tell, you two really do make a beautiful pair.

Thomas: Thanks Twilight.

Princess Twilight: Feel free to go through the portal, hopefully we'll see you two back again.

Sunset Shimmer: I'll see you when I get back.

Princess Twilight: Same here, bye Sunset.

The two hugged it out and Spike and Thomas fist/hoof bumped. They soon stepped through the portal. They soon arrive at Sodor, Thomas was the first to pop out and Sunset follows suit, in her train form, which is a "N3" Beyer-Peacock type 2-6-0 tender engine.

Thomas: Well, here we are.

Sunset Shimmer: (Sniffs, exhales) I can never get enough of your island. I'll have to ask my human friends to come to this place for another vacation someday. So, where do we head to first?

Thomas: Time to head to Knapford, there's someone else you got to meet, plus an important visitor as well. Come on! (Whistles)

So Thomas puffed forward, leading Sunset behind. As the two were heading towards Knapford Station and down the countryside, Max, Monty and George saw Thomas returning with an unknown engine right behind him as they pass by.

George: Oh great, just what we need, another steamie.

Max: Yeah, I agree. But there's nothing we can do about that now.

Monty: Same here, we don't want to have our working sentences extended.

George: Doesn't matter now boys, our time will come soon. We just don't know when.

Soon the two raced in to Knapford Station and stopped at the platform. Sunset marveled at the station all around her.

Thomas: So this is Knapford Station, the focal point of all of Sodor, for the engines taking the express to other trains that need to be here.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, it really does look magnificent and very special, it's no wonder you cherish this place.

Thomas: And it's going to be even better.

They turn to a door opening and outstepped Mr. Percival.

Mr. Percival: Ah Thomas, I'm surprised to see you. Princess Twilight sent me a letter telling me of your visit and that you were also bringing someone with you.

Thomas: That's right sir, Mr. Percival, meet Sunset Shimmer, my girlfriend from Canterlot High.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Hi sir.

Mr. Percival: It's an honor to meet you Sunset, Sir Topham Hatt has told me about you. And I'm happy that you're keeping Thomas in good hands.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, I'm happy to help anyone out when I can, and that includes being with the future prince of Equestria. (Giggles)

Thomas: Okay, you knucklehead, you can stop now.

Mr. Percival: (Laughs) I'm sure she's just playing around with you; my wife is the very same. Also, you have other visitors that will please to meet you Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: Really? Who?

Thomas: Wait and see.

Mr. Percival motioned the others to come out and revealed is the Duke and Duchess of Boxford, Ms. Jenny and the Earl of Sodor.

Mr. Percival: Thomas, why don't you introduce her to these fine gentlemen.

Thomas: Alright Mr. Percival, Sunset, meet the Duke and Duchess of Boxford, Ms. Jenny and Sir Robert Norramby, more known as the Earl of Sodor.

Duke of Boxford: It's a pleasure to meet you Sunset Shimmer, is it?

Sunset Shimmer: Yes, it is sir.

Duchess of Boxford: That's a beautiful name for the world you're in, it's just simply beautiful.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Aww, thanks ma'am.

Ms. Jenny: All I can say for Sunset Shimmer is welcome to Sodor.

Earl of Sodor: I say, your paintjob style is absolutely breathtaking, it simply shines under the sunlight. Oh, what am I even talking about, welcome to Sodor Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles) Thank you, sir. He sure seems lively.

Thomas: That's just his personality, but we respect him nonetheless.

Mr. Percival: That's right Thomas, oh look at that, looks like you're about to meet someone else that will be eager to meet you.

Sunset Shimmer: Who's that?

Suddenly, she heard a whistle and rolling towards them was the Flying Scotsman.

Thomas: Hello Flying Scotsman.

Flying Scotsman: Oh, hello Thomas, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other. And who is this with you?

Thomas: Flying Scotsman, meet Sunset Shimmer, a visitor from Equestria and my girlfriend.

Flying Scotsman: Is that so, welcome to Sodor Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer: (Chuckles) Is just Sunset, thanks, and it's a pleasure to meet you Flying Scotsman.

Thomas: If you want, I can give her some history about you.

Flying Scotsman: I'm perfectly okay with it, tell her a little bit about myself.

Thomas: Well, for one thing, he's Gordon's brother.

Sunset Shimmer: Really?!

Flying Scotsman: That's certainly true. But I've also competed in the Great Railway Show, which is a test of speed, strength, most decorative and the most skilled at shunting.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, that must've been one exciting show.

Flying Scotsman: It sure is m'lady.

Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles)

Thomas: Well, he did compete in the speed portion of the show, but he managed to get fourth, a little decent but it's a start.

Flying Scotsman: You got that right, so what brings you and Thomas to Sodor.

Thomas: I'm bringing my girlfriend behind me along to some of Sodor's beautiful sites, we just want a time to ourselves.

Mr. Percival: Now that is very romantic for the two of you, well, I shouldn't bother the two of you of your time. Take care and….

Suddenly, they heard a loud whistle and they see Spencer speeding towards Knapford Station to the mainland.

Spencer: Make way for the Duke and Duchess' private engine!

Sunset Shimmer: Who's he?

Thomas: That is Spencer, Sunset.

Flying Scotsman: It's best you stay away from him, he can be quite nasty. But you won't have to worry about that, since he's heading to the mainland.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, that's a relief.

Thomas: (Whistles) Come on Sunset, let me show you what Sodor is all about.

Sunset Shimmer: Right behind you honey, (Whistles), see ya later Scotsman.

Flying Scotsman: It's a pleasure meeting you Sunset, and good luck on your date with Thomas.

Sunset Shimmer: Will do! (Whistles)

So Thomas and Sunset sped down the countryside as they head to the first destination. They puff down the line and approach Henry's Forest.

Thomas: Sunset Shimmer, welcome to Henry's Forest. He's been visiting this forest after he has finished his jobs. But when a severe storm nearly destroyed the forest, he nearly lost hope until all of us band together and helped save the forest.

Sunset Shimmer: Really? How beautiful, this forest is so peaceful, I bet Fluttershy will really love this place as much as she loves her animals. There are animals around this forest right?

Thomas: There is, look?

Sunset looked to see an assortment of birds, rabbits, squirrels and even a mother deer and her fawn. Sunset has never seen animals this beautiful since she was in Canterlot High.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, it's so beautiful. Fluttershy will be right at home in this forest.

Thomas: It truly is special, let me tell you that.

Philip: I'll have to agree with you on that one Thomas.

They look to the right and saw Philip pulling lumber for the building site.

Sunset Shimmer: Is that you Philip?

Philip: It sure is Sunset. You're bound to see some of our friends in our engine forms sooner than expected. And I think some of them might surprise you. Oh, where are my manners, is that you Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles) It sure is Philip, you like my look?

Philip: It's absolutely stunning. Oops, I need to get this lumber to the building site, otherwise I'm late. Catch ya later Thomas and good luck on your date you two.

Thomas & Sunset Shimmer: (Laughs) See ya Philip! See ya Philip!

Sunset Shimmer: That Philip sure is a bubbly little fellow, no wonder Pinkie chose him for her group.

Thomas: You got that right, let's keep going, there's bound to be more exciting locations for you to see.

Sunset Shimmer: Lead the way Thomas. (Whistles)

So the two sped away to another part of the island, along the junction, they had to stop at a signal, there they see another familiar face puffing towards them, it was Ryan.

Ryan: (Whistles) Thomas, welcome back, I didn't know you were stopping by for a visit.

Thomas: Well, I'm still on vacation back at Canterlot High, but it doesn't mean I get to visit my home.

Ryan: You got that right, who's that right…. Wait a minute, is that?

Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles) Yes Ryan, it's me.

Ryan: Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. Welcome to Sodor, Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, this isn't my first time visiting the island, but that was for a short visit. Right now, my boyfriend is taking me to different locations of the island for our date.

Ryan: Really, huh, that's actually really nice of what you're doing for her Thomas.

Thomas: Oh, it's nothing. Looks like it's our signal, we best be going. See ya Ryan.

Ryan: See ya Thomas, and see you too Sunset. Enjoy your date! (Whistles)

Sunset Shimmer: (Whistles) I will, see ya Ryan.

As the two race through the island, they approach the seaside where Norramby Beach is located.

Thomas: This is Norramby Beach, when the summer is at its hottest, children flock to this very beach to get away from the heat.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh wow, look at the color of the sand, it's so different from our beach. This really is special.

Dennis: Hmph, you can say that again. Hi Thomas and Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: Yep, it's me.

Dennis: Wow, uh, didn't expect you to visit here.

Thomas: Yeah, I came here with my girlfriend to visit the sights of Sodor.

Dennis: Well then, good luck, now if you excuse me, I need to take this cargo to the depot.

Thomas: Catch ya later, Dennis.

Sunset Shimmer: This beach is really beautiful Thomas, if we were still human, we would have a blast.

Thomas: It sure would be, now then, onwards to our next destination.

Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles) Lead the way, my knight in shining armor. Hmm, that reminds of someone.

Thomas: Remind you of who?

Sunset Shimmer: Well, back when I was a pony, I heard that Princess Cadence marry Twilight's brother, Shining Armor, and they ruled the Crystal Empire back in Equestria.

Thomas: Really? That's interesting.

Sunset Shimmer: Around the Friendship Games, there was a Shining Armor there assisting Dean Cadence around Crystal Prep. But after everything that's happened, he's much nicer now.

Thomas: Well, that's nice. So, we're heading to one landmark that was named from a fellow express engine, come on! (Whistles)

So they sped down the line until they reached the top of Gordon's Hill.

Thomas: This place is known as Gordon's Hill; it's got some amazing views if you look at it from the top.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, you're not kidding. It's beautiful, I have a feeling this will be really be our second home if the opportunity presents itself.

Thomas: And if you ever do make that decision, I'll be right by your side, one step of the way.

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Aww thanks Thomas, you're too kind.

Derek: Oh my grease and oil, I can't get up this hill without my engine seizing up.

Thomas: Derek, is that you?

Derek: Yep, that's me. Oh, is that Sunset, Ryan told me that she's visiting to the island, I didn't think that was her.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, I get that a lot. But why'd you say you can't climb up this hill?

Derek: The reason is Sunset, is that I have teething troubles, meaning my engine is known to overheating if I strain it too much.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, that must be horrible.

Derek: It is, (Sighs), looks like I'm going to be late delivering this cargo.

Donald & Douglas: Don't you worry there Derek, we got you.

The two look to see Donald and Douglas coming in to help Derek, Douglas went to the back and Donald coupling up in front of Derek.

Donald: Oh, hello Thomas, welcome back and is that Sunset!

Douglas: Donnie, did you say Sunset?

Donald: Yeah, I did Dougie.

Sunset Shimmer: Hello, you two, I'm here on a date with Thomas, he's showing me around the island.

Donald: Well then, good luck you two. Let's get a move on Dougie, Derek's cargo won't deliver itself.

Douglas: Quite right Donnie, let's move, see ya you two, enjoy your date!

Thomas: See ya you guys. Come on Sunset, let me show you two amazing castles that we have around Sodor, follow me. (Whistles)

Sunset Shimmer: Lead the way. (Whistles)

Thomas and Sunset traveled down the line heading to the castles, when they have to stop at another signal, they see Bill and Ben pulling a train of stone.

Bill: Oh, quit bumping me from the back, otherwise you'll knock all the stone from the train.

Ben: It's not my fault Bill, it's those blasted trucks. Not me!

Bill: Clearly it's your fault.

Ben: No it's not, it's your fault.

Thomas: Ahem.

Bill: Oh Thomas, I didn't see you there, and is that….

Ben: Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: Yes, you two, it's me. Nice to see you guys again.

Thomas: Need any help with those stone trucks?

Ben: No thank you, we clearly got this, thanks for asking.

Bill: Uhh, wish Mavis was here. That way she can help us.

Mavis: Ask and you shall receive. Hello Thomas, and Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: Mavis, it's nice to see you again.

Mavis: Same here, what brings you two to the island?

Thomas: Me and Sunset are going on a romantic date, we're doing it in style. By traveling to Sodor's most famous locations and seeing the sights.

Mavis: Well, good for you, Toby told me you and Sunset have a thing together, I gotta say, good show Thomas.

Thomas: Thanks Mavis, now if you excuse us, we're heading to the castles.

Mavis: Good luck, also Whiff and Scruff are also there, you should see them when you get to Callan's Castle.

Thomas: Thank you Mavis.

So the two of them raced off to Callan's Castle, while Mavis helped the Clay twins with their load of stone. Once they arrive, they stop at the front of the castle.

Thomas: Here we are, Lord Callan's Castle.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, it's really beautiful and ancient, almost like the Castle of the Two Sisters back at Equestria.

Scruff: If you think that's ancient, check out Ulfstead Castle, it's loads more ancient than this one.

Thomas: Hello Scruff, hello Whiff, I'm sure you can guess….

Whiff: That behind you is Sunset Shimmer, we know, some of our friends have already told us about her arrival. I just have to say, welcome to Sodor Sunset, it's a pleasure having you visit our island.

Sunset Shimmer: Aww, thanks guys for the hospitality.

Thomas: And Scruff, that's is also our next place to go. Sunset, next stop, Ulfstead Castle. (Whistles)

Sunset Shimmer: Lead the way, my personal tour guide. (Giggles, whistles)

Scruff: Ya know, these two really have a thing for each other.

Whiff: You're right about that one Scruff, you're right about that.

As they raced to the top of the hill, once they reached the top, the gates opened up and Sunset marveled at the castle's beauty.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh wow, look at that castle, it's like the Sodor's version of the Canterlot castle where Princess Luna and Celestia live in.

Thomas: Hmm, never thought of that, I guess that could be like Sodor's Canterlot castle.

Daisy: Oh, do tell me of this Canterlot castle you two lovebirds are talking about?

The two look to their right and saw Daisy dropping off visitors.

Thomas: Hello Daisy, we were talking about Canterlot Castle where Princess Celestia and Luna reside in.

Daisy: Oh, isn't that where the royalist of ponies live and work?

Sunset Shimmer: That's right.

Daisy: Oh, I would love to work at a place like that, it's just simply extravagant!

Murdoch: Keep telling yourself that, and you might annoy some people saying about your swaggers and swerves.

Daisy: Hey, a lady has to be proper when has to keep up appearances.

Thomas: Hello Murdoch, what brings you around the castle?

Murdoch: I'm here to deliver supplies for the Earl's new expansion of the Ulfstead estate.

Thomas: Really, that's interesting.

Murdoch: It sure is, also, is that Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: Yes, that's me. My boyfriend is taking me on a date on Sodor's famous locations.

Daisy: Aww, now this is sweet, you do know how to appreciate someone close to you.

Thomas: (Blushes) Thanks Daisy, hey Sunset, we got two more locations to visit and we'll return to Canterlot High.

Sunset Shimmer: Alright Thomas, it's a pleasure seeing you guys, take care.

Daisy: You too, my dear. Take care of Thomas while you're at it.

Sunset Shimmer: (Whistles) Will do!

So the two of them raced off to the next location of Sodor: Shen Valley. When they arrive, Sunset gasped when she sees the sunset and the flowers all over the bottom of the valley. She was so mesmerized by the beauty of the valley; her eyes were watering.

Sunset Shimmer: (Nearly crying) Oh my gosh, this is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The sunset and the flowers at the bottom make it shine so beautifully.

Thomas: I'm glad you liked it. This is Shen Valley, a very special for a lot of people who liked to unwind and relax while looking at the scenery.

Sunset Shimmer: If I have my magic right now, I would so kiss you right now.

Thomas: Well, there is one way we can be close.

Sunset Shimmer: What's that?

Thomas: Wait right here.

So Thomas raced off while Sunset waits, she sees him on the same line and he gently touched buffers right up to hers. She looked up at Thomas' eyes and she blushed.

Thomas: Is this close enough for you?

Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) Yes, this is good. Thank you for making this date so special for the two of us. I love you Thomas so much right now.

Thomas: I love you too Sunset Shimmer.

They stayed that way for a while, and after that, they have to return to Canterlot High. While they were heading to the Magic Buffers, they passed the watermill as they were heading home, but they stop to engage in a little conversation.

Thomas: Now this, right here, is one of my favorite spots on the island from my entire lifetime. I travel down this watermill every time I take Annie and Clarabel, it's just an exhilarating experience.

Sunset Shimmer: I don't blame you Thomas, it truly is a beautiful spot.

Thomas: When you travel down this line with your coaches, you will know this experience.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm sure of it Thomas. (Sighs) I thank you for taking me to all of Sodor's favorite locations, I love it so much. Thank you for doing this for me.

Thomas: No problem Sunset, and that's why I love you.

Sunset Shimmer: I love you too Thomas.

Once they went through the portal, they were back where the school is.

Sunset Shimmer: Thomas, I want you to close your eyes and stay that way, until I tell you that you can open them.

Thomas: Okay then.

So Sunset leads Thomas to the park where there is a slope that leads to a flower field.

Sunset Shimmer: Okay Thomas, you can open your eyes now.

He opened them and in a brief second, Sunset lunged at Thomas as the two rolled down the slope and they stop at the bottom. Sunset looked up at Thomas as he stared into her eyes.

Thomas: (Laughs) I guess this is why you wanted me to close my eyes, so that way the both of us tumble down a slope and onto the ground, this is really becoming a habit the two of us developed.

Sunset Shimmer: (Laughs) Yeah, I remember. I remember the first time the two of us started our little tumble when you gave me those gifts. I just love it so much. And there's another thing that I really liked to do.

Thomas: What's that?

Sunset Shimmer: This.

Sunset leaned towards Thomas and kissed him on the lips. They stay that way for a while, until they go to their sides. They break and looked at each other's eyes.

Sunset Shimmer: I've been waiting for that "first kiss" for so long now. You remember that?

Thomas: Oh yeah, I remember that.

Sunset Shimmer: And now that it is night, it just makes this even more romantic and I just love it. Just like how much I love you Thomas.

Thomas: Well, I have to agree with you on that one.

They lean in and kissed some more, as they wrapped their arms and crossed their legs as they kissed under the night sky. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time….
