The engines at Tidmouth Sheds were exhausted after a hard day's work and wanted to have a good night's sleep. However Caitlin had decided to spend the night and had interrupted their slumber. Thankfully Percy had allowed her take the Mail Train so his friends could have their sleep. The streamlined engine had sped off as soon she was coupled up. Gordon was pleased.

"At last I can have my well deservedt rest. An engine as important as me needs his sleep." And with that he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Soon there was complete silence at Tidmouth.

Suddenly there was a loud "Snore". The loud noise startled Edward awake who quickly looked around to find it's source, but he couldn't so he closed his eyes to get back to sleep. However as soon as he did another "Snore" could be heard. Again, he couldn't see who was making the noise until a third "snore" came from... Gordon.

"Ahem, Gordon" he said quietly, trying not to wake the others "Could you please be quieter?". There was no reply. "Gordon" he said a bit louder, but still the big engine did not stir. "Gordon!"

"Shush, Edward!" Emily said exhaustively. "We're trying to sleep."

"Sorry, Emily." Edward replied.

"What do you want?" Came the tiered response of Gordon.

"Sorry to bother you Gordon but your snoring rather loudly, could you please stop?" Edward asked.

"I can't stop snoring Edward, for one thing it helps me to... snore" Gordon had fallen asleep mid sentence! And was snoring even louder.

"Gordon, Gordon! Please... oh." He decided to try and go to sleep again, but Gordon's snoring still prevented him, so he decided to ask again.

"Gordon, wake up please!"

"Huh, what do you want?"

"Please stop snoring, I can't go to sleep with that loud noise."

"Like I said, I can't, and it helps me to calm down and relax."

"What?! Snoring doesn't do that it-"

A loud "shush" came from the other engines, Edward and Gordon were disturbing their sleep. While Edward didn't want to distribute his friends sleep, Gordon's snoring was disturbing his.

"Gordon please-"

"Your sounding a bit restless tonight, Edward" came a voice from next to Edward.

"What? Whose there?" He noticed it was his driver and firemen. "Oh it's you Charlie, Sidney. Shouldn't you two have gone home by now?"

"We had to do some overtime" Sidney, his fireman, replied. "We were about to to our homes but then we heard yo yelling. Why?"

"Gordon's snoring very loudly, it's disturbing my sleep." Edward said.

"I'm sure it's not that bad." Charlie, his driver, said before hearing a loud snore from Gordon "actually maybe it is."

Then Edward had an idea. "Can you please take me to a different shed, he won't stop snoring. Knapford Sheds usually has a berth free."

"I don't think that's a good idea. Your supposed to be berthed here and-" Sidney said before being interrupted by Gordon's snoring. Charlie jumped onto Edward's footplate.

"Come on Sid, we can't leave the old boy to listen to THAT racket all night while we're sound asleep in our nice quite beds."

"Suppose your right, neither of us would want to listen to that noise all night." Sidney agreed before joining Charlie on the footplate.

"Thank you. Your the best crew an engine could have." With that they quickly left Tidmouth Sheds, and Gordon's snoring behind.
