( Sixteen after learning to be more polite was on his way to the shunting yards )

Charlie: Hello who are you?

Sixteen: I'm Sixteen who are you?

Charlie: My names Charlie I have to take these trucks of crates to the docks would you like to help me?

Sixteen: Uh okay then.

( Sixteen and Charlie were coupled up to the trucks of crates Sixteen was at the front and Charlie was at the back soon they set off to the docks meanwhile Charlie was in the mood for a joke )

Charlie: Do you want to hear a joke Sixteen?

Sixteen: Okay.

Charlie: What do you call a train with a cold?

Sixteen: No idea.

Charlie: A achoo choo train.

Sixteen: ( Laughs ) Very funny.

( Later Charlie had another joke )

Charlie: Want to hear another joke?

Sixteen: ( Sighs ) All right.

Charlie: Where do crocodiles leave their money?

Sixteen: Don't know.

Charlie: A river bank.

( Sixteen groaned at Charlie's joke )

Charlie: ( Laughs ) Would to like to hear another one?

Sixteen: No more jokes.

Charlie: Oh come on one more please?

Sixteen: ( Sighs ) Fine.

Charlie: What do you call a crazy chicken?

Sixteen: I don't know.

Charlie: A cuckoo cluck ( laughs )

( Sixteen was soon fed up with Charlie's jokes he snapped at him )

Sixteen: ( Furious ) THAT DOES IT CHARLIE I DON'T NEED YOU TO HELP ME TAKE THESE CRATES TO THE DOCKS YOU KNOW WHAT JUST STAY HERE AND DO NOTHING.

( Sixteen's driver angrily uncoupled Charlie from the trucks and Sixteen puffed away leaving Charlie upset )

Sixteen: Ah peace and quiet at last.

( Suddenly Sixteen applied his brakes )

Sixteen: Actually I feel guilty for yelling at Charlie maybe I should go back and say sorry to him.

( Sixteen went back to Charlie )

Sixteen: Charlie I'm sorry for snapping at you it's just that you're jokes we're getting on my nerves.

Charlie: Well I guess that means I'm sorry for annoying with my jokes will you let me help you again please I won't tell anymore jokes.

Sixteen: ( Smiles ) Very well then.

( So Charlie was coupled up back to the trucks and he and Sixteen successfully delivered the crates to the docks )

The end

( As a bonus DP994 if you're reading this you be wondering why I haven't included any of the main characters from the Thomas series on my stories such as James Percy Gordon and Sir Topham Hatt well the reason is I will include those characters some day but the thing is I like to focus on most of the side characters like you may have seen in my previous Thomas series mainly because I find those characters more interesting than the main characters and these range from characters that have been staples since the show started ones that haven't appeared in the show in a really long time ones that were recently introduced into the show and even characters that only appeared in the railway series I thought I would tell you that. )
