Tank engines can pull trains facing forward or backward, this makes them useful if there's not loop or turntable nearby. But it isn't safe for tender engines to go backwards at fast speeds. As such they have to use turntables, there are two turntables that could handle the bigger engines, one by the sheds, the other in the yard by the station in the Human Village.
However that day, a tengu started playing tricks on the other engines, as Hiroto was going to use the turntable at the station. The tengu made the wind blow fiercely.
"Alright Hiroto, let's get you in the other direction." said his driver.
But the tengu's wind made Hiroto hard to stop, every time he backed up or move forward to adjust the turntable, he'd jam it.
"It's no use Hiroto. The wind is just too strong to set you properly."
"Ugh!" said Hiroto, he lost all his patience.
Hiroto coupled to his next train, engine first, and some fairies were making fun of him.
"Oh look Sunny, there's Hiroto playing tank engine." said Cirno, an ice fairy.
Ichihiro was by the platform next to Hiroto and couldn't help jumping in.
"Scrap your tender and get a nice bunker like me." said Ichihiro.
Akemi came by and overheard the conversation.
"I'll have to use the turntable later and it won't jam, because not as fat as you are, Hiroto." he said.
"Baka." said Hiroto, under his breath.
When it came time to use the turntable, Akemi went perfectly onto the middle of the turntable. Then the tengu worked her ways and the wind started to pick again. Akemi turned faster and faster. Soon the wind died down and he stopped spining. Akemi felt dizzy, and sure enough, Hiroto had saw the entire thing.
"I guess your too skinny, eh Akemi." said Hiroto.
Akemi said nothing and stayed on the siding so he could recover. Later that night, the engines talked of what happened.
"The stupid turntable humiliated me!" said Hiroto.
"It made my eyes spin!" put in Akemi.
Soon, the Scarlet Controller arrived. I think I have the solution to your turntable problems, and there standing next to her was a tengu.
"Aya, say your sorry for humiliating these engines." she said.
"But I was working on a story for the paper when that happened!" Aya said.
"Aya!" the Scarlet Controller said, angry.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry for making you look bad." Aya said, finally.
"That's better." the Scarlet Controller said.
The two tender engines accepted her apologies and feel asleep.
