It's such a great idea, the beginning of a nice friendship between Grouchy and the hot-tempered James! There's a proverb(not by Brainy Smurf, but from my country...)which says that two strong-minded people never get along well, but in my opinion these two guys have everything to be an exception, who knows?
Oh, and before I forget, Amtrak : yes, I read all the other chapters and the part I liked most was the Smurfs calling on Thomas and appearing when he was already getting disheartened.
Many thanks for welcoming to your train!

Here's my thought on the newly formed friendship between Grouchy and James. I find that it fits into to the story perfectly. The way you thought of how to end the conflict between the two characters couldn't have been better. I think you put out a good solid conclusion to the problem. I liked how you used examples from the Smurfs cartoon in your story for the part when Papa Smurf tells James about when Grouchy demostrated he has a soft side.

I think that's really great that James and Grouchy solved their problems and started becoming friends. If they have another disagreement again, hopefully they'll be able to discuss their problems without giving each other trouble.

Well, I'm off to work more on my own fanfics and especially my website.
Stay Smurfy.
Thanks, R. C. Glad you enjoyed the clips. And please get some time to work on my special page.

PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! This was good. You did a good job with the friendship between James and Grouchy. It was nice to see that Grouchy had enough courage to be the first to apologize. I thought you expressed the nervousness that the two were feeling very well. This was well thought out and I liked the build-up. Thanks for sharing, Amatrak!

Chapter 11: Spending Final Moments (Grouchy And James’ Best Smurfy Time)
Last time, things lead up to a disaster, but at the end, a touching moment. Now, you all know that the Engine in trouble is none other than James. Why? He lost his temper and gave the troublesome trucks the biggest bump, and they got back at James by pushing him and causing a runaway. And this had lead to a derailment and James’ third accident that involves the job that he really and truly hates, which is a slow goods train. During the accident, the Smurfs had met another one of Thomas’ friends, Molly. The two Engines and the Smurfs were horrified and sad for seeing the whole thing, but Grouchy was mostly the one who is very heartsore for James. Thomas and Molly couldn’t find some ways to get James back on the rails, but luckily, Papa came to the rescue, and by using magic, the wizard Smurf managed to get James back on the rails. Then suddenly, as Grouchy was about to apologize to James, the #5 engine yelled and blamed him for causing his third major accident to happen. But, Brainy and Papa told James to explain on how his unsmurfy day went and what caused his accident to happen. But still, after telling the whole story, James still blames on Grouchy, and he called the not-so-grouchy Smurf the longest insult than ever. And this had lead Grouchy to feeling heartsore and crying his eyes out in a hurt-feeling emotion. After seeing the emotions from the two, Papa had started his conversation with James, telling him that Grouchy does indeed have a positive side of himself, of which he expresses it quite often. At first, James didn’t believed it, but Papa proved it by telling James the story about Grouchy and his life history, of which the #5 engine accepts. And after he finished, James was surprised and couldn’t believe it, and he also felt guilty and sad for what he had done to Grouchy. After Papa had settled things, the wizard Smurf went to Grouchy and told him that James is ready for the former bad-tempered Smurf’s apology. And with some encouragement and support from Thomas, Molly, and the Smurfs, the two accepted their apologies and became good new friends! And to celebrate their new formed friendship, James asked Papa if Grouchy can come along with him, and the village leader approved it.(And Baby Smurf also wants to come along with them too!) And after that touching moment, Thomas showed the Smurfs more of the sights on Sodor, and now it had came to an end. Now, while Thomas and the Smurfs are heading back to Tidmouth Sheds, Grouchy and James are now starting their best quality time together. But what will they do you all asked? Well, let’s puff and smurf out now shall we?! But first, let’s go to Thomas and the Smurfs.
After finishing his job on giving the visitors(and the Smurfs) the tour on the Island of Sodor, Thomas arrived at Knapford Station to drop the visitors off.
The visitors thanked Thomas for giving them the tour of the island. And Thomas was very pleased.
“Come and visit the Island of Sodor next time and soon.” Thomas tooted to the visitors, “And come by here as long as you all like, too.” And with two toots, “[PEEP! PEEP!]” Thomas chuffed away to Knapford Yards.
When Thomas arrived at Knapford Yards, he dropped off and uncoupled Annie and Clarabel.
“Alright, my coaches.” Thomas puffed, “It’s time to say good-bye to the Smurfs.”
“Yes, Thomas.” Said the coaches, “Smurfs, it was wonderful to meet you all.”
“And it’s smurfy to smurf you two, also.” Said Smurfette happily.
“Well then, good-bye Smurfs.” Chimed Annie and Clarabel, “And good luck finding your way home.”
“Good-bye, Annie. Good-bye, Clarabel.” Said the Smurfs, “And thank you.”
And with a wheesh of steam, Thomas huffed off to Tidmouth Sheds.
When Thomas arrived at the sheds, all of his friends are already there, except indeed James. The little blue tank engine puffed on to the turntable, spun himself around, reversed back, and parked himself between Percy and the empty space of which is for James.
“Welcome back again, Thomas.” Peeped Percy.
“And right on time, too.” Chirped Emily.
“But where’s James?” Wondered Edward.
“Ohh, he’s still out there.” Said Thomas.
“But where?” Ranged Toby.
“Everywhere around the island!” Tooted Thomas excitedly.
“Enjoying his best smurfy time ever with a very special and new friend.” Said Papa grandly.
“Ooh, who’s the special and new friend?” Henry puffed eagerly.
But then, Gordon notice something. He could see that as he counted the Smurfs, only 15 are presented.
Gordon was puzzled. “Umm, Papa Smurf?” He replied to the elder Smurf, “I noticed that there’s only 15 of you all, and 2 are missing.”
“Well, Gordon.” Papa said to big blue tender engine, “The first missing one is Baby Smurf. But the other one is the special and new friend that he’s also with him and James.”
“Well come on!” Boomed Gordon impatiently, “Who is he?!”
“Here’s a hint.” Giggled Thomas, “Recount the Smurfs that are here with us.”
So the Engines recounted and identified the Smurfs. And even their personalities.
“Hmm.” Pondered the Engines.
“Well, some of the Smurfs are here.” Puffed Henry.
“And Baby Smurfs’ with James.” Added Toby.
“But who’s the another one with James also?” Put in Percy.
And again, the Engines felt clueless.
But suddenly, Edward loudly blew his whistle. “[PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!] Bouncing buffers! I know who‘s the mysterious Smurf is!” He shouted.
“What?!” Whistled the Engines.
“Don’t you all see?!” Chuffed Edward, “I realized that the Smurfs are always smiling! But, there’s one Smurf that doesn’t always smile!”
“[GASP] No!” Shrieked Emily, “It can’t be!”
“Impossible!” Henry tooted.
“Unbelievable!” Boomed Gordon.
“Yes!” Whistled Thomas joyfully, “James’ special and new friend is the one and only…!”
“GROUCHY SMURF!” Said the Engines in unison.
“But how could this be?!” Steamed Toby.
“We thought they don’t like each other!” Percy puffed.
“Well, my friends.” Thomas said happily, “I’ll explain everything, from the way beginning.”
So Thomas started telling his friends all about James and Grouchy. He told them everything, from the mid-size red tender engine’s third major accident, the now very-happy Smurf’s change of heart, to their newly formed friendship.
At first, the Engines were shocked to hear about James’ third major accident, but they are very happy to hear that the #5 engine and the former bad-tempered Smurf had settled their feelings and became good new friends.
“Oh, I’m indeed very happy for them.” Tooted Emily.
“What a touching moment.” Ranged Toby.
“Who knew that Grouchy does have a heart of gold after all.” Peeped Percy.
“And I knew it all along that something good for James had just came around the bend.” Said Edward happily, “And it just did.”
“But we’re very shocked to hear about James’ third major accident that involves the job that he really and truly hates.” Henry puffed, “And some of us felt guilty for teasing him. And we’re really sorry for him, too.”
“Well, you should smurf him that when he gets home.” Said Papa wisely.
“And I agree.” Said Edward.
“Me too.” Put in Thomas.
“But still fancy for James for letting his trucks runaway.” Sniffed Gordon.
“Gordon!” Snapped the Engines.
“Well it’s true!” Said Gordon seriously, but he felt outnumbered. “Oh, bother!”
And the Smurfs couldn’t help but giggle. “[Smurfs giggling]”
“So Papa Smurf,” Thomas said to the village leader, “How will you and your Smurfs are gonna get back to your time period?”
“With these, Thomas.” Said Papa as he pointed to Grandpa.
Grandpa reached into his very long beard and pulled out a sack. Then he handed the sack to Papa.
Papa then turned to Thomas and his friends. He reached into the sack, and pulled out the time crystals and showed it to the Engines.
The Engines are amazed.
“Whoo, pretty!” Said Percy amazingly, “But, what are those?”
“They’re crystals, Percy.” Described Edward.
“Oh, but not just ordinary crystals.” Replied Grandpa.
“They’re time crystals!” Said Snappy and Sassette.
“Oh, so those are the time crystals!” Tooted Thomas.
“And that’s how you Smurfs time-travel.” Chirped Emily.
“And it would exciting for us Engines to time-travel.” Henry chuffed.
“And that would be an adventure.” Toby wheeshed.
“But we can’t just leave the island.” Said Gordon truthfully, “We’re the Fat Controller’s best Engines. And not to mention guarantee connections, too.”
And the Engines had to agree, and they know that Gordon is right.
“Alright now.” Papa spoke up, “I’ll start assembling the crystals. And in the meantime, why don’t you Engines and Smurfs have some more time together while I work.”
“Of course, Papa Smurf.” Said the Engines.
“Yes, Papa Smurfs.” Said the Smurfs.
“And Papa Smurf,” Replied Brainy, “Can I puh-lease help you this time? Smurfy please?” He begged.
But Papa doesn’t really want Brainy to help. So he had an idea. “I know what you should smurf, Brainy.” He said, “Why don’t you smurf your quotations to the Engines?”
“Ooh, smurfy idea.” Said Brainy, “Now why I haven’t smurf of that in the first place? Oh well.” And he went off to talk to the Engines.
“Well, at least that’ll smurf him busy.” Sighed Papa. “But I can’t wait to see how the Engines will react when Brainy smurfs out his quotations to them, and I can imagine.” He said cheekily, and he had to giggle but quietly. “[Papa giggling quietly]”
And so, Papa had started working on assembling the time crystals while his little Smurfs are starting to have their long and final moments with the Engines before their departure. Although, the Engines and the Smurfs have something else in their minds. They’re thinking about Grouchy and James, and their best quality time together. But they’re imagining it right now.
At long last, at the end of the line at the eastern part of the island, James has finally finished his job of pulling his slow goods train, and he was glad that his dirty and most hated job is over. Grouchy was also very glad that James’ dirty job is over too.
And indeed, the troublesome trucks did behave well along the way, and they did not play one single trick on James.
“Thank goodness to bad and “unsmurfy” rubbish!” Cheered James.
“You can smurf that again, James!” Grouchy cheered also. “Right, Baby?”
“Gaa!” Cooed Baby Smurf.
Along the way, Grouchy had taught James the smurf language, and the #5 engine is already getting good at it just like Thomas and the other Engines at Tidmouth Sheds.
“Now,” Grouchy replied, “Should we start our best smurfy time together?”
“But first, UGH!” Disgusted James, “Just look at me! All that grime from the trucks made my red coat all dirty! And I still have some dirt on my left side during my accident!” He complained.
“UGH! I just HATE smurfing that!” Agreed Grouchy, “And I may not be Vanity, but you’re not smurfy to be seen! Isn’t that right, Baby?”
“Yech!” Agreed Baby Smurf.
“Well not to worry, my new little blue friend!” James puffed cheerfully, “All I need is a nice and splendid wash down!”
“Phew, now that’s a relief!” Said Grouchy. “So what are we smurfing around here for?! Let’s smurf you all cleaned up, now!”
“You puff it, Grouchy!” Whistled James, and with a happy wheesh of steam, he chuffed off quickly to the Washdown.
When James got to the Washdown, he was in no time getting all rubbed and scrubbed. Grouchy and Baby Smurf got off of him so they won’t get themselves wet and soapy, and they watched as the washers soaked James from top to bottom and from front to back, and they even indeed brushed behind his buffers.
As James was enjoying himself being washed, he began to sing. “SHINY AND CLEAN, SHINY AND CLEAN, AND I’M THE ENGINE THAT LOVES TO BE SO KEEN!” He tuned joyfully.
“Whoo!” Amazed Grouchy and Baby Smurf.
“And smurfy rhyme!” Added Grouchy. “And I LOVE it!”
At last, James is all nice and clean once again. And the washers had just finished polishing some parts around the #5 engine.
Grouchy and Baby Smurf are very impressed, and they think that James looked very smart and indeed very splendid.
“Shiny and clean, shiny and clean!” Tooted James.
“Wow!” Said Grouchy impressively.
“Ooh!” Said Baby Smurf.
“Alright, I’m all done now!” James whistled to Grouchy and Baby Smurf.
“Smurfy!” Hollered Grouchy, and he and infant Smurfling jumped aboard James.
But just then, Spencer huffed right beside James, and he doesn’t care and like on what he’s seeing. “HA!” He snorted, “You may be the shinest Engine on the island, but I’m still the shinest one in the world!”
Grouchy and Baby Smurf are furious, and James was very cross!
“PUT A FUNNEL CORK IN IT, SPENCER!” James huffed crossly.
“And let me just smurf,” Grouchy said furiously, “[Clearing throat sound] I HATE YOU, SPENCER! AND YOUR BOASTFULNESS IS UNSMURFY!”
“Ahhhh!” Screamed Spencer, “A talking blue rodent, and it just insulted me! Oh, the humiliation, I’m outta here!” And with a jolt, the big silver tender engine chuffed cowardly and frightfully away.
“Well done, Grouchy!” Laughed James, “You sure taught that show-off a peep or two!”
“Well, what can I smurf,” Said Grouchy happily, “Being grouchy and negative is what I smurf, but not that much. Right, Baby?” He said to the littlest Smurf.
“Uh-huh.” Said Baby Smurf. “[Cooing]”
[Background song #5 plays]
“Now can we have our best smurfy time together, James?” Grouchy asked hopefully.
“Yes Grouchy, we may!” Answered James excitedly, “And we’ll started off by struting and “smurfing” along the rails!”
“All right!” Cheered Grouchy. “Are you ready, Baby?”
“Whee!” Said Baby Smurf cheerfully.
“I think that’s a yes!” Chuckled James, and with two toots, “[PEEP! PEEP!]” The mid-size red tender engine chuffed off along with the former negative Smurf and infant Smurfling to start their best quality time together.

As James was chuffing along the main line, he and Grouchy are finally getting to know each other. And they started off by talking about the things they hate and the things they love.
Grouchy starts first. Although, James now knows that Grouchy does indeed have a positive side of himself, but the not-so-bad-tempered Smurf told the #5 engine the reason why he’s being always grouchy because he hates for his fellow Smurfs to know about it, and James completely understands. Grouchy also told James that he hates things that are unsmurfy to him, like perfect example; that horrid wizard, Gargamel. Now Grouchy told James that he loves things that are smurfy to him, like going swimming, his favorite activity. And he also told James that indeed he loves to help out, especially looking after Baby Smurf. And lastly, Grouchy told James that indeed he loves his fellow Smurfs, including Papa, Grandpa, Smurfette, the Smurflings, and of course ever loving Baby Smurf, of which he and Grouchy are very close.
James was impressed, and he finally knows everything from Grouchy.
Now it’s James’ turn. Although, Grouchy already knows one thing that James hates the most, which is indeed the job of pulling slow goods trains, and he told the now very-positive Smurf the reason why is because the mid-size red tender engine has to pick up and set down trucks from dirty sidings at every station time after time, and that makes James very cross. James also told Grouchy that he hates to wait while doing that job every time to let very important trains go by first, like the post train for example, and that makes James feeling very impatient. And that’s why James told Grouchy that he hates doing that job, and it’s not a very important one too. And it also did indeed had lead James to now three accidents involving the job that he really and truly hates. Now James told Grouchy that indeed he hates getting his red coat dirty, but the #5 engine also told the now very-happy Smurf that he loves to get himself all washed up and clean. And he also told Grouchy that he loves to brag about his vanity to his friends, but even though, his friends do get very annoyed from that. But, James told Grouchy that he expresses his vanity quite often only. And lastly, James told Grouchy that indeed he loves his friends, including his very close one, Edward. And Grouchy could tell, because both Edward and James are indeed the same size, but with different coats of paint and different wheel alignments. [Example: Edward’s wheels are in 4-4-0, and James’ wheels are in 2-6-0. Tender wheels do not count.]
Grouchy was impressed, and he finally knows everything from James.
And so, James kept on chuffing along the main line enjoying his best quatily time with Grouchy, and of course Baby Smurf.
[Song continues]

[Music continues]
As James was now chuffing along the branch line, Grouchy decided to make it more exciting by singing the Smurf song, and he’s also teaching that to James. And when Grouchy sings, “LA, LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA-LA, LA, LA.” James followed along by using his whistle. “[PEEP, PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP!]”
James had been racing on both the branch line and the main line along the countryside with Grouchy and Baby Smurf. He rattled over bridges, cluttered through tunnels, and dashed by some stations. And he even passed by some of the other Engines along the way.
Along the countryside, James had stopped by at an apple orchard, and he introduced Grouchy to one of the other non-rail contraptions, Trevor the Traction Engine. Trevor was very amazed, and he offered Grouchy a nice picked, shiny apple. James whistled good-bye to Trevor, “[PEEP! PEEP!]” And he puffed away. And Trevor responded back by whistling good-bye too. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”
Then along the countryside, James stopped by at the ice cream factory, and he offered Grouchy and Baby Smurf some ice cream. Grouchy told James that back at the Smurf village, they called the frozen treat; smurf cream. James couldn’t help but laugh, but he knows that it’s their own smurfy way of calling it.
And so, while Grouchy and Baby Smurf are having their “smurf cream”, James continued on along the countryside on the main line.

[Music continues]
As James was still chuffing through the countryside along the main line, Grouchy decided that he wants to do something else.
So Grouchy turned to James. “James?” He asked.
“What is it, Grouchy?” Answered James.
“We’ve been smurfing through the smurftryside quite enough.” Said Grouchy truthfully. “So, is there some kind of special and smurfy spot to smurf some more time together?”
“Hmm.” Pondered James, and he began to think.
Then suddenly, an idea had flown through James’ funnel. “I know just the perfect special and “smurfy” spot where we can spend some more time together!” He tooted excitedly.
“Ooh!” Replied Grouchy joyfully, “What is it?!”
“Wait and see!” Whistled James.
“Alright!” Said Grouchy. “And are you ready for it, Baby?”
“Eeee!” Cheered Baby Smurf.
And with his fire in his firebox flaming rapidly, James, along with Grouchy and Baby Smurf, chuffed off excitedly to the special and smurfy spot on the Island of Sodor.

(WELCOME, THIS IS MY DREAM)
BIENVENIDAS, A MI BARCELONA
(WELCOME, TO MY BARCELONA)
BARCELONA, OH SI
(BARCELONA, OH YES)
[Fading music and song stops]
“[PEEP! PEEP!]”
Back at Tidmouth Sheds, Papa is still assembling the time crystals, and it is indeed taking a long time to remember the right alignments. And Grandpa is watching at the other Smurfs as they are having their conversations with the Engines.
Hefty was talking to Gordon, and they’re talking about on being the strongest and the best. And yes, Hefty talked to Gordon about Tuffy, and the muscular Smurf told the #4 engine that the wannabe Smurf is not like Gordon at all. And Gordon told Hefty this answer(and the same one from Edward), the toughness style is not allowed on the Island of Sodor, and it’s the Fat Controller’s rule. And Hefty was very glad to hear that.
Painter and Sassette are talking to Henry on more about Nat and Tracker. And the artist Smurf and jumpy Smurfling also talked to the #3 engine on more about their nature-loving activities and as well as Henry’s also.
Jokey was talking to Percy about on being the cheekiest and the funniest. And the prankster Smurf also talked to the #6 engine about more on Harmony, including of having something very loud.
Lazy was talking to Thomas about more on Dreamy, and the fantasy Smurf’s never-ending adventures, And including on being a daydreamer from both the #1 engine and the believer Smurf.
Wild and Smoggle are on Thomas, and right on top of his funnel as they watch out for the arrival of James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf.
Handy was talking to Edward about on being a reliable and really useful helper. And the Carpenter/Inventor Smurf also talked to the #2 engine about more on Weakling and his usefulness and willpower.
Greedy and Snappy are talking to Toby on more about Farmer and Slouchy. And the chef Smurf and pushy Smurfling also talked to the #7 engine about more on the farming Smurf’s farming activity and the very-steady Smurfling’s personality, which is indeed being the smoothest and most careful.
And Emily and Smurfette are having their “girl talk”. And the young and not-only Smurfette also talked to the non-numbered engine on about another female Smurf back at the Smurf village, which is indeed Grandma Smurf(or should I say “Smurfette”). And Emily told Smurfette that there was once another girl Engine and another girl non-rail contraption, and she said that they’re not on the island for now. This made Smurfette sad, but she hoped that they will return to the island someday. And Emily hoped so too. [Note: The other girl Engine is Daisy the Diesel Railcar and the other girl non-rail contraption is Caroline the Car.]
But poor Vanity, who is on Thomas, is feeling left out, and he now really wished that he had gone along with James. But alas, the #5 engine wants to spend some quality time with Grouchy. The handsome Smurf is now feeling upset and jealous.
But just then, while the Engines and the Smurfs are still having their conversations, Brainy rudely interrupted them by babbling his annoying quotations, and he kept on repeating the same thing over and over and over again non-stop. And this is making the Engines and his fellow Smurfs furious and cross, but mostly the Engines of which Brainy is talking to. And the Engines are losing their minds(Or should I say funnels!). Some of them are getting very cross, some of them are getting annoyed, and some of them are dazed and surprised with their eyes spinning round and round. And no matter how they react, Brainy still kept on going. And Clumsy tried to stop the know-it-all Smurf, but Brainy wouldn’t listen. And the other Smurfs wanted to stop Brainy, but they decided to let the Engines deal with him.
Just then, Brainy still kept on babbling. “…and that is why I always tell my fellow Smurfs to smurf my advises,” He quoted, “But do they? Oh, no! They always ignore me! But matter what they smurf, I still tell my fellow Smurfs to listen to my advises and my quotations from my book called: Quotations by Brainy Smurf. And I, Brainy Smurf, the smartest of all Smurfs smurfed together, should always remind my fellow Smurfs to smurf things the Brainy Smurf way. And further more, as Papa Smurf would always say, that being clever and wise like him and me should also smurf my fellow Smurfs to do the same thing, too. And also, whenever Papa Smurfs’ unavailable, my fellow Smurfs should always…”
But just as Brainy was about to finish his quotations, Percy blew his whistle with such rage! “[PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!]”
“OW!” Cried Brainy as he covered his ears.
“STOOOOP ITTTT!” Snarled Percy.
“ENOUGH ALREADY!” Growled Thomas.
“WE CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!” Fumed Emily and Toby.
“YOU’RE BUMPING UP OUR BUFFERS, BRAINY!” Grumbled Henry.
“AND BURSTING OUR BOILERS!” Boomed Gordon crossly.
“AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A REALLY USEFUL SMURF!” Said Edward severely, “BUT I WAS WRONG!”
“But I am a really useful Smurf!” Brainy said honestly.
“YES! REALLY USEFUL FOR BEING AN OLDFANGLED NONSENSE!” Said the Engines crossly.
“FOR YOUR INSMURFMATION, I AM NOT AN OLDFANGLED NONSENSE!” Brainy exploded, “AND AS PAPA SMURF’S APPRENTICE, I’M REALLY AM A REALLY USEFUL SMURF! AND BESIDES, IT WAS ALL PAPA SMURFS’ IDEA THAT I SHOULD TELL YOU ENGINES ABOUT MY QUOTATIONS! RIGHT, PAPA SMURF?!”
But just as Brainy turned to Papa, he could see that the village leader is giggling with his hand covering his mouth. “[Papa giggling]”
“Papa Smurf, how could you!” Gasped Brainy.
“Sorry, Brainy!” Giggled Papa, “But I really want to smurf on how the Engines would react when you smurf your quotations to them! And I got my wish!” And he laughed so hard with tears coming out of his eyes. “[Papa laughing hard]”
And just then, the Smurfs began to laugh so hard too. “[Smurfs laughing hard]”
“AND YOU ALL SMURFED AWAY FROM THIS, TOO!” Said Brainy furiously.
“And indeed, we did!” Laughed Jokey.
“AND BESIDES, WE HAVE A SURPRISE JUST FOR YOU, BRAINY!” Growled the Engines.
“OH YEAH!” Snorted Brainy loudly, “WHAT?!”
“THIS!” The Engines rumbled crossly, and they all gave Brainy a big cloud of steam going straight at him! “[Steam wheeshing] WHOOOOOOSH!” They went.
“NOOOOOO!” Wailed Brainy as he find himself surrounded in the big cloud of steam for ten seconds.
As the steam cleared, Brainy was wobbling and felt very dizzy with his eyes spinning round and round and shaping like spiral swirls, and collapsed by landing on his back. “[THROP!]”
“Ohhh, why are these things always happen to me?” Wheezed Brainy, and could not say another word.
“HA, HA, HA! Now that’s a smurfy surprise!” Laughed Jokey.
“Uh, gosh, Brainy.” Clumsy replied, “I tried to warn ya, but you won’t listen.”
“Thanks for the warning, Clumsy.” Dazed Brainy.
“Well at last that shut him up.” Muttered Gordon.
“And that is better than tossing him around.” Added Hefty.
But Papa chose the wise thing and he helped Brainy up for him to recover.
Suddenly, Wild and Smoogle gasped and the they jumped up and down to get someone their attention. “[Wild and Smoogle chattering frantically]”
Grandpa was the first one to saw them. “What’s wrong you two whipper-smurfers?!” He called.
Wild and Smoogle pointed to the horizon.
And as the Engines and the Smurfs turned, they all gasped. “[Everyone gasping]” They could see, that the sun is now beginning to set.
“Great Suzette!” Painter shouted, “The sun, it iz zetting!”
“Oh, no!” Cried the Smurfs.
“And James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf are not here yet!” Added Lazy.
“Oh, dear!” Cried the Engines.
“What are we gonna smurf?!” Panicked Clumsy.
“Now don’t worry, my little Smurfs!” Said Papa calmly, “James will smurf Grouchy and Baby Smurf here in no time. Besides, Thomas said that James is a very dependable and reliable Engine. Isn’t that right, Thomas?” He said to the #1 engine.
“Ummm…” Wheeshed Thomas nervously, and he began to have a nervous breakdown.
The Engines are giving Thomas the third-degree look by raising one of their eyebrows.
“Uhhh…” Thomas puffed fearfully.
The Smurfs are starting to get confused.
But Papa had seen it all together. “Is there something that you smurfgot to tell me, Thomas?” He said sternly.
“Well…” Tittered Thomas, “Did I forget to mention that quiet often James is a late sort of Engine, too?”
“OH, Thomas!” Groaned the Engines.
“Oh, smurfs!” The Smurfs moaned.
“Thomas, why didn’t you tell me that in the first place?!” Said Papa sounding upset and worry.
“Well, I didn’t think it was that important!” Panicked Thomas.
“But it IS important, Thomas!” Said Edward wisely.
“I’m sorry, everybody.” Apologized Thomas, “And I’m sorry, Papa Smurf.”
“[SIGH] That’s alright, Thomas.” Said Papa acceptably, “Now, what’s most important is that one of you Engines must smurf out there and smurf James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf, and fast!”
“[PEEP! PEEP!] I’ll go look for them!” Whistled Emily.
“But are you sure that you can smurf this, Emily?” Wondered Smurfette.
“Of course I can, Smurfette.” Said Emily honestly, “And I’m indeed the only Engine to have very big wheels.”
“Oh.” Said Smurfette, “Well then, if you’re smurfing, you’re gonna need some help. I’m smurfing with you.”
“Well, if Smurfettes’ smurfing, I’m smurfing too.” Replied Sassette.
“Smurf me in, too!” Squealed Snappy.
“Well, I’ll go too.” Sighed Vanity, “Since I’m feeling all left out.”
“Thank you, four is enough.” Said Emily thankfully.
So Vanity and the two Smurflings hopped aboard Emily. And with a wheesh of steam, the mid-size emerald engine puffed out of Tidmouth Sheds.
“Hurry, Emily!” Called Thomas.
“We’re all smurfing on you!” Papa shouted with faith, “And you too, my little Smurfs!”
“Hurry, Emily, hurry!” Said the Engines and the others Smurfs all together.
Emily gave them two not-to-worry toots. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”
“And don’t worry!” Called Smurfette, “We’ll find them!”
And with a flash, Emily chuffed off quickly along with Smurfette, Vanity, and the Smurflings to begin their search for James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf.
“Oh, Thomas.” Papa said to the little blue tank engine with a worrying emotion, “I really hope that Emily and my other Smurfs will find James and my other two Smurfs.”
“I hope so too, Papa Smurf.” Wheeshed Thomas, “I hope so, too.”
“And so will all of us, too.” Said the other Smurfs and the Engines hopefully.
So all the six Engines and the 11 Smurfs could do is just wait and hoped that Emily and the four Smurfs will indeed find James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf and bring them back to Tidmouth Sheds as quickly as possible.
After leaving Tidmouth Sheds, Emily, along with Vanity, Smurfette, and the Smurflings had started their search for James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf. And they started it by going along both the branch line and the main line. They looked everywhere, by chuffing over bridges,… huffing by sidings,… and puffing through stations. And every time Emily met one of the other Engines, she says this question: “Have you seen James along with two Smurfs?”. And they all said this answer: “I did saw them, but they passed by just a while ago.” And this is making Emily and the four Smurfs frustrated, and also making them to keep on searching.
A half hour has passed, and Emily, along with the four Smurfs, had been chuffing all around the island, well… not all of the island. She was so tired, and her wheels are beginning to ache. Emily have had enough, and she came to a halt and stopped to rest.
“[Panting] It’s no use.” Panted Emily, “We’ll never find them.”
“Don’t smurf that, Emily.” Replied Sassette upsettingly.
“We just gotta find them, we just gotta!” Said Snappy faithfully.
“Easy for you to say, Snappy.” Wheeshed Emily, “But after all that searching, I’m all puffed out, and my wheels are aching me.”
“It’s okay, Emily.” Smurfette replied, “Just smurf some more rest.”
“Well, you better rest up quickly.” Said Vanity, “There isn’t much time, and all this searching is ruining my complexion.”
“Well, I guess there’s one thing that we should smurf.” Smurfette said wisely.
“And what is that, Smurfette?” Wondered Emily.
“This, be someone like the other.” Said Smurfette.
“Oh, kinda like pretending, right?” Tooted Emily.
“Yes.” Giggled Smurfette, “Now, let’s use our smurfs.”
“But Emily will be smurfing her funnel.” Corrected Sassette.
“Oh, right.” Said Smurfette. “Now, if Vanity was Grouchy, and Emily was James, they would smurf to a special and smurfy spot on the island to smurf some more time together, but where?” She pondered.
So Emily and the four Smurfs all began to think on what special and smurfy place that James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf could be.
“[PEEP! PEEP!] I’VE GOT IT!” Whistled Emily as an idea had flown through her funnel, “I know just where to find James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf!”
“Well, what are we smurfing for?!” Cheered Snappy, “Let’s go smurf them!”
“And pronto!” Added Sassette.
“You puff it, Smurflings!” Said Emily cheerfully, “And “smurf” on to your hats you four!” And with her boiler bubbling rapidly, the non-numbered engine, along with the four Smurfs, chuffed off quickly to the special and smurfy spot of where they could find James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf.
Meanwhile, at the southern part of the island, the special and smurfy spot that James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf are at, is one of the beaches along the Sodor Island Seaside.
While they got there, Grouchy decided to go for a little swim with Baby Smurf. And since they don’t have any swimsuits, Grouchy has no other choice but to go in the water with nothing but his undershorts, and for Baby Smurf with nothing but his didey.
James is only a couple of yards away from the shore, and he watched happily as Grouchy and Baby Smurf went into the water and started having their water fun.
James laughed, because what he’s seeing is right after Grouchy took off his time-travel clothes, he could see that there are some smiling faces on his undershorts.
“Well, bust my boiler!” Chuckled James, “No wonder Grouchy is always hiding his true feelings, and it’s right over there, on his undershorts!” And he was unable to control his laughter. “[James laughing hard]”
Grouchy heard him and felt confused. “What’s so funny, James?!” He called.
“Ohh, nothing!” Said James innocently as he rolled his eyes skyward and pretending he was laughing to himself.
“Hmm. Oh, well.” Said Grouchy, and he went on playing and swimming in the water with Baby Smurf. “[Baby Smurf cooing]”
But James was able to control himself and made the wise thing of not laughing behind Grouchy’s back. And he once again watched as Grouchy and Baby Smurf are having their fun at one of the beaches along the Sodor Island Seaside.
After spending an hour in the water, Grouchy and Baby Smurf have had enough fun. So Grouchy picked up his and Baby Smurfs’ clothes and they walked off back towards to James.
James could see them approaching and he welcomed them warmly as they stopped right beside him.
“Did you two enjoyed your swim?” James puffed.
“Oh, yes.” Said Grouchy happily, “Didn’t we, Baby?”
“Whee-he-he.” Giggled Baby Smurf.
“Well I’m very happy to hear that.” Said James.
But suddenly, James smelled a funny smell. “[Sniffing] Heating headlamps!” He complained, “What’s that smell?!”
“What smell?” Confused Grouchy, but then he too smelled it. “[Sniffing] Uh oh, it’s me. [SNIFF] And Baby Smurf. We smell like salt water, and I HATE smelling like salt water!” He groaned.
“Blagh!” Agreed Baby Smurf.
“Well don’t worry my mixed-emotional friend.” James tooted cheerfully, “I have an emergency kit right inside my cab, and in it is a bar of soap.”
“But that’s not enough.” Said Grouchy.
“And I also have a supply kit.” Added James, “And in it is a metal cup and a canteen of water. And there you have it, instant smurf-size wash down.”
“Oh, thank you, James.” Said Grouchy thankfully. “Come on, Baby. Let’s smurf oursmurfs all cleaned up.”
So Grouchy, along with Baby Smurf, walked towards the back of James and hopped aboard inside his cab.
“And I also have a washcloth right inside my emergency kit, too!” Reminded James.
“Oh! Thank you, James!” Grouchy said thankfully.
“You’re welcome, Grouchy!” Whistled James.
So James watched as Grouchy sets up his smurf-size wash down, while Baby Smurf sits down while he plays with his rattle.
Grouchy opened up the supply kit and took out both the metal cup and the canteen filled with water. And he next opened up the emergency kit and took out both the bar of soap and the washcloth. And in no time, he had set up his smurf-size wash down. And Grouchy even placed the metal cup right next to James’ firebox so he can have a nice and warm one too.
As Grouchy filled the metal cup with water, he then used the soap to make the water all sudsy.
And James roared up his fire to make the water-filled metal cup all nice and warm. “[James grunting]”
“Ok, James, you can stop now!” Hollered Grouchy.
“Phew! Thank you, Grouchy!” Said James exhaustively.
“Don’t mention it!” Chuckled Grouchy.
“Alright,” James puffed, “In you two go!”
“You smurf it, James!” Said Grouchy, and he and Baby Smurf went into the water-filled metal cup, and they in no time are having their smurf-size wash down.
As Grouchy and Baby Smurf got into the smurf-size “tub”, the former negative Smurf took off his soaked undershorts and the littlest Smurf’s didey, and he tossed and hung them up onto the side-doors of James’ firebox.
As Grouchy was enjoying himself being washed, he too began to sing. “SMURFY AND CLEAN, SMURFY AND CLEAN, AND I’M NOW THE SMURF THAT LOVES TO BE SO KEEN!” He tuned joyfully. “But I still HATE for my fellow Smurfs to know about!” Added Grouchy.
And James just had to laugh “HE, HE, HE! Splendid tune, Grouchy!” He puffed.
“Thank you, James!” Said Grouchy happily, and he went on rubbing and scrubbing himself and Baby Smurf. “[Baby Smurf thrilling]”
And James just stands by and happily watches over them.
At last, Grouchy and Baby Smurf are all nice and clean once again. After the not-so-bad-tempered Smurf got out of the metal cup, he wrapped himself up with the washcloth and went off to check if his undershorts and Baby Smurfs’ didey are dry, and they indeed are. As Grouchy put on his undershorts and dried himself up, he picked up Baby Smurf out of the smurf-size “tub” with the washcloth and dried him up also. And he put the didey right back onto the infant Smurfling. “[Baby Smurf Cooing]”
James was very impressed, and he knows why Grouchy and Baby Smurf are very close.
“Hah, they are indeed very close.” James sighed to himself, “Just like me and Edward.”
After Grouchy and Baby Smurf had finished drying themselves up, the now very-happy Smurf throw out the dirty water from the metal cup, and he then cleaned the mess up and put everything back at their rightful kits. And Grouchy then put on his time-travel clothes and Baby Smurfs’ as well.
“All done!” Grouchy called to James.
“Alright!” Tooted James, “Come along now!”
“I’m smurfing alone, I’m smurfing alone!” Grouchy tuned, and he, along with Baby Smurf, jumped off of James’ cab, walked towards the front of the #5 engine, and hopped aboard.
“Smurfy and clean, smurfy and clean!” Cheered Grouchy. “[Baby Smurf cooing]”
“Whoo! And indeed you both are!” Said James impressively, “And really splendid, too!”
“Thanks, James.” Said Grouchy proudly.
And so, James and Grouchy turned to the horizon to watch the sun setting down from the sky. The clouds are coated with the sun’s colorful rays. And they can hear the sound of the waves waving through the shore along the beach.
James and Grouchy are very happy, and they indeed had the very best quality time that they both have ever.
Just then, Grouchy had something his mind and turned to James.”Umm, James?” He spoke up.
‘Yes, Grouchy?” James puffed.
“Well, since it’s just the two of us,” Grouchy said shyly, “Can we smurf about something?”
“Like what?” Wondered James.
“Well…” Replied Grouchy nervously, “How about… smurfing each other secrets?”
“Well… alright.” Approved James, “And I know that you’re not the secret-revealing sort of Smurf, are you?”
“Oh, absosmurfly.” Said Grouchy truthfully, “And I know that you’re not the secret-revealing kind of Engine, are you?”
“Exactly.” Said James truthfully also. “So, why don’t you start first?”
“I’ll be smurfy to.” Grouchy said grandly, “Well, remember when I smurf that I hate for my fellow Smurfs to know about my true feelings?”
“Yes?” James steamed.
“Well, the truth is,” Continued Grouchy, “I’m always happy. But I was happy in a negative way. And that’s why I hate for my fellow Smurfs to know about my true feelings.”
“Ohh, I see.” Said James as he sees it clearly, “And no wonder Papa Smurf named you Grouchy. But still, you are indeed a very happy Smurf, in a negative way that this.”
“Yes.” Replied Grouchy, “Now, what about you, what’s your secret? And is it the one that Jokey eagerly wants to know?”
“I BEG YOUR PARDON?!” Said James shockingly.
“Well, after you smurf to your job,” Explained Grouchy, “Jokey asked Edward to smurf him your secret, but thank smurfness he didn’t!”
“Well, he’s not gonna get!” Huffed James, “You and only you will get to hear it!”
“Right!” Agreed Grouchy. “So, what’s the secret?”
“Well alright, here goes.” Wheeshed James timidly, “My secret is this; I once had to use a bootlace to mend a hole in my brake pipe while I was pulling my coaches, and that happened right between my two dreadful accidents.”
“Ohh.” Said Grouchy understandingly. “But, what’s a brake pipe?”
“See that long, black, stretchy thing right next to you?” James explained.
Grouchy turned and saw it. “Yes.” He replied.
“That’s my brake pipe.” Said James.
“What do you smurf it for?” Asked Grouchy.
“I “smurf” it to apply and release the brakes on a train while either pulling or pushing it.” Answered James.
“Ohh, I see.” Said Grouchy as he sees it clearly also, “But, what smurfs your secret so embarrassing?”
“Well,” James puffed sternly, “My friends think that it was funny, and they’ve been teasing me about it ‘cause they think that it taught me a lesson for bumping my coaches so hard.”
“UNH! I just HATE when your friends tease you about that!” Said Grouchy upsettingly.
“Yes.” Agreed James, “And only from Thomas to Toby know about my secret, but my good and close friend Edward was very wise to stay out of it, and he really knows how I feel.”
“Well, I’m very glad to smurf that.” Said Grouchy supportively.
“And that is why I kept as a secret from the other “new” Engines who arrived on the Island of Sodor.” James said as he finished, “But, if one of my friends bump my promise… I’LL HAVE MY DOME BLOWN OFF!!” He roared.
“Whoa!” Surprised Grouchy.
Baby Smurf was startled and began to cry. “WAH! WAH! WAH!” He wailed.
“Ja-ames!” Grouchy shouted.
“Oops! I’m sorry, Baby Smurf!” James stuttered, “There, there! Please, stop! Oh please, stop crying!”
But Baby Smurf just kept on crying. “[Baby Smurf crying non-stop]”
“Smurf something!” Shouted Grouchy as he tries to calm the infant Smurfling down.”
“Um, I know!” Tooted James, “I’ll make some silly faces!” And he made them by crossing his eyes and spun them round and round.
But Baby Smurf was not cheered up. “[Crying continues]”
“Smurf something else!” Suggested Grouchy.
“Uh, alright!” James puffed, “I’ll blow my whistle smoothly!” But he did it so fast and unsmoothly. “[PEEP-PEEP-PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!]”
“WAAAAAAAAH!” Baby Smurf wailed loudly.
“Oh, my smurfin’ ears!” Moaned Grouchy.
“And my aching funnel!” Groaned James.
But suddenly, a clever idea had flown through James’ funnel. “I know just what to do!” He tooted.
“What?!” Said Grouchy desperately.
“This!” Said James, and he turned to Baby Smurf. “Here Baby Smurf! This will calm and cheer you up!” And he played the Smurf song with whistle. “[PEEP, PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP!]”
Suddenly, Baby Smurf stopped crying. “Huh?” He weeped.
Grouchy was amazed. “It’s working, James!” He shouted happily, “Smurf it again!”
“It will be my pleasure!” Whistled James, and he played it once again. “[PEEP, PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP! PEEP, PEEP-PEEP, PEEP, PEEP!]”
At last, Baby Smurf was calmed and cheered up after hearing the Smurf song from James’ whistle. “[Baby Smurf cooing and giggling happily]”
“Phew, finally.” Wheeshed James exhaustively.
“But that was very thoughtful and smurfy of you, James.” Said Grouchy gratefully, “And not to mention very clever. Isn’t he, Baby?”
“Eee.” Agreed Baby Smurf.
This made James very pleased and proud.
“But, you really need to control that temper of yours.” Warned Grouchy.
“Mm-hmm!” Baby Smurf agreed sternly.
“Well, I hate to admit it,” James confessed, “But, I really do loose my temper all the time. And from now on, I’ll do it rarily this time.”
“Hmm, that’s smurfy.” Said Grouchy.
“And the same thing puffs to you too, Grouchy.” Warned James also.
“Oh, I will.” Promised Grouchy. “I will.”
“Oh, and I really LOVE that phrase that you just smurf when you smurfed off to your job.” Reminded Grouchy.
“You mean this phrase?” Described James, “[Clearing throat sound] DIRTY TRUCKS FROM DIRTY SIDINGS! LACGH!!”
“Yeah, that!” Said Grouchy.
“Mmmm.” Trembled Baby Smurf.
“Easy there, Baby.” Grouchy said calmly as he quiet down the littlest Smurf.
“And I always say that every time I get the job of pulling a slow goods train.” James said sternly.
“Oh, I see.” Said Grouchy.
“And I really had to admit,” Grouchy spoke up, “But that nickname that Cranky smurfed you, it was really kinda funny.”
“And you know what?” James replied, “I think it’s really funny, too. And after all, I’m really am “Grouchy James”.”
“Heh, heh, heh. Yes you are.” Chuckled Grouchy. “And by the way, who’s Cranky?”
“Oh, Cranky is a crane who lives at Brendam Docks.” Explained James sternly, “And you why he’s called Cranky?”
“’Cause he’s cranky?” Grouchy Guessed.
“Close.” Said James, “And, he has to work both day and night 24 hours and seven days a week without getting one single sleep.”
“Ohh.” Said Grouchy. “And who’s Salty?”
“Salty is a friend of mine and to the other Engines.” James explained happily, “But, he’s a different engine, and do you know what he is?”
“A diesel engine?” Guessed Grouchy.
“Yes, how did know?” Chuckled James.
“I’ve met one.” Said Grouchy, “And her name is Mavis.”
“Oh, I forgot. You were with Thomas while he took you Smurfs on touring around the island.” Puffed James.
“Uh-huh.” Grouchy said truthfully.
“But,” James huffed seriously, “Although Mavis and Salty are the only friendly and kind diesel engines that I know, but remember when I said about those “Dirty Diesels”, Diesel and the twins ‘Arry and Bert?”
“Yes.” Said Grouchy.
“Well,” James puffed sternly, “Those diesel engines are very bad and naughty, and they always puff up to mischief.”
“Ugh! I HATE those “BAD” diesel engines!” Grouchy said negatively.
“So do me and my friends!” Agreed James, “And you have no idea what we steam engines do to put up with those Dirty Diesels!”
“And I can imagine!” Grouchy said upsettingly, “But I HATE to imagine it right now!”
“But on the bright side,” James puffed cheerfully, “We steam engines always manage to get them in trouble, and that gives us a good laugh!”
“Now that I LOVE to imagine it right now! HAHAHAHAHA!” Laughed Grouchy, and was unable to control his laughter.
“Huh?” Said Baby Smurf puzzlingly.
“I know.” Agreed James, “And you really don’t see that everyday, do you.”
“Eesh, puff it easy, Grouchy.” James replied, “Sure it was funny at first, but please have some dignity.”
“A-ha, A-ha. Oh sorry, James.” Grouchy said calmly as he tries to stop laughing, “But I just couldn’t smurf mysmurf. Right, Baby?”
But Baby Smurf simply rolled his eyes skyward. “Hah.” He sighed.
“What did I smurf?” Grouchy said puzzlingy to James.
“Oh, nothing.” Said James. “Now, there’s something else that I would like to puff to you.”
“What?” Asked Grouchy.
“Well,” Answered James, “Since I have been givin’ the nickname, “Grouchy James”. I think you should have one of your own also.”
“Ooh.” Amazed Grouchy.
“And from now on,” James puffed grandly, “Your nickname should be, “Happy Grouchy”!”
“Wow!” Amazed Grouchy, “Oh, James! I LOVE that nickname, I just really LOVE it!”
“And I knew you do, “Happy Grouchy”.” Chuckled James.
“And thank you, “Grouchy James”.” Giggled Grouchy.
And the two new friends just had to laugh, even Baby Smurf. “[Everyone laughing]”
“Now since we finally got to know other,” James puffed, “Let’s make a promise.”
“I would LOVE that.” Said Grouchy, and he made his promise. “Smurf my heart and hoped to smurf.”
“Cross my boiler and hoped to scrap.” Said James as he made his promise also.
And so, James and Grouchy once again turned to the horizon to watch the sun setting down from the sky. And they could see that the big yellow ball in the sky is almost touching the surface of the sea.
And as Grouchy was turning to James, he saw something that made him surprised and amazed. He was looking at the #5 engine’s red coat, and it’s getting the same finishing touches. A shine of the sun’s light has shone James’ red coat from smoke-box to cab with a twinkle on the tip of the cab roof. “[TWINK!]” And his gold dome was sparkling glitteringly. “[Glittering Sounds]“ And lastly, his cab roof-mounted whistle is also getting a glisten. “[Sound of light glistening]” Grouchy was indeed very impressed, and he really and seriously thinks that James is indeed a really splendid Engine.
Grouchy wasted no time and spoke to James happily. “Wow! Well, James.” He replied, “Here’s something that I would really and seriously LOVE to smurf. Your red coat does indeed look nice, shiny, and very smurfy, and you really are indeed a really splendid Engine. Am I right, Baby?”
“Gaa.” Cooed Baby Smurf.
James was extremely delighted and he nearly cried! “Thank you, Grouchy!” He tooted joyfully, “And you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that to me! And thanks to you, I feel like my really splendid self again!”
“And I’m very glad to smurf you happy again.” Said Grouchy grandly.
Then suddenly, Baby Smurf began to speak. “J-J-James… s-s-splendid!” He cooed.
“Awww!” Tooted James, “Baby Smurf just spoke to me! And it’s really adorable!”
“Yes it is!” Agreed Grouchy. “But, UGH! I HATE your black wheels!”
James was shocked. “But why?!” He stuttered, “What’s wrong with my black wheels?!”
“They’re not the same color like your red coat.” Said Grouchy truthfully, “Am I right, Baby?”
“Waa.” Agreed Baby Smurf.
“Hmm.” Pondered James, and he looked at his wheels. Now he’s getting the feeling that Grouchy is right. He does had been chuffing around the island in black wheels for so long.
Then after having a long thought, James made up his mind. “You know what, Grouchy?” He puffed, “You’re right, I did had been chuffing around the island in black wheels for so long. So, I’ll get them painted to match my red coat, so I could be twice as splendid.”
“Well, glad you smurf things my way.” Said Grouchy grandly.
“Now,” Replied James, “Here’s something that I would really and seriously LOVE to say to you, too. You’re really not an oldfangled nonsense, you’re really are indeed a really useful Smurf, especially when you look after Baby Smurf.”
Now Grouchy was extremely delighted and he nearly cried also! “Thank you, James!” He shouted joyfully, “And you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you to smurf that to me, too! And thanks to you, I will now always be happy! But, still…”
“I know.” Chuckled James, “You HATE for your fellow Smurfs to know about it. And I puff it.”
“Yeah. Heh, heh, heh.” Giggled Grouchy.
And again all of a sudden, Baby Smurf spoke up again. “G-G-Grouchy… u-u-useful!” He cooed again.
“Oh, Baby!” Grouchy cheered, “Now that’s very smurfy! And it’s way smurfy than your first word!”
“What was Baby Smurfs’ first word, Grouchy?” Wondered James.
“YECH! That most hateful wizard, Gargamel!” Complained Grouchy.
“GARGAMEL?!” Said James unhappily, “Now that name is just so DISGUSTING!”
“I know!” Agreed Grouchy, “And I still HATE it and him, too!”
“Well, let’s not talk about that.” Suggested James calmly, “I don’t want to get myself upset again.”
“Me, too.” Agreed Grouchy.
“Uh-huh.” Said Baby Smurf.
“Well, there’s one way that will smurf a smile on my face.” Said Grouchy calmly.
“And what is that?” Puffed James puzzlingly.
“Would you please smurf your whistle?” Grouchy asked pleasingly, “I just LOVE the sound of that tune.”
“I will be my puffy pleasure.” Answered James cheerfully, and he gave Grouchy three long smoothing toots. “[PEEEEP… PEEEEP… PEEEEP!]”
“Mmm, smurfy.” Said Grouchy relaxedly.
Then Baby Smurf followed along by speaking it. “Peep… Peep… Peep!” He cooed.
“You like that don’t you, Baby Smurf.” Chuckled James, “Well here’s more just for you.” And he also gave Baby Smurf three long smoothing toots. “[PEEEEP… PEEEEP… PEEEEP!]”
“Peep, peep, peep!” Cooed Baby Smurf.
“Thanks, James.” Said Grouchy thankfully, “Baby Smurf really loved it.”
“It was nothing, Grouchy.” Said James proudly. “It was nothing.”
As Grouchy and James turned to the horizon, a gently breeze from the seaside has blown into their faces. And it’s making them feeling calmed and relaxed, and also very happy.
“Ahh, that was a smurfy breeze.” Said Grouchy happily with his eyes closed.
“Mmmmm.” Agreed James with his eyes closed also.
“And this is indeed the best smurfy time that I ever smurfed in my whole life.” Added Grouchy.
“Me too, Grouchy.” Said James happily, “Me, too.”
“Hah.” Said Baby Smurf as he enjoyed the breeze also.
“And what do you think about the Island of Sodor, Grouchy?” Replied James.
“It’s smurfy!” Cheered Grouchy, “I LOVE the Island the Sodor! The sights are smurfy, and your friends are smurftastic! And it‘s way smurfy than the other places that we smurfed.”
“Well, thank you.” Tooted James, “And I’m glad you liked it, too.”
“Indeed.” Said Grouchy, “Right, Baby?”
“Whee!” Cheered Baby Smurf.
And the two new friends just had to laugh. “[Grouchy and James laughing together]”
And the three new friends went on enjoying feeling the breeze from one of the beaches along the Sodor Island Seaside.
But suddenly, James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurfs’ peaceful moment at the beach are interrupted by a pair of whistles. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”
Grouchy thought it was James. “Alright James.” He said sternly, “You don’t have to smurf your whistle for me again.”
James was confused. “Don’t be daft, Grouchy.” He puffed, “And that’s not my whistle.”
“[PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!]”
“Oh, you’re right.” Said Grouchy understandingly, “But, who is it?”
“I don’t know.” Puzzled James, “And it sounds so far away.”
But then, they heard some shouting. “JAMES! GROUCHY! BABY SMURF!”
“[GASP] James, I recognized those voices!” Gasped Grouchy.
“So do I!” James gasped also.
And as the two new friends looked back, they were surprised. There coming straight towards them, is Emily, along with Smurfette, Vanity, and the Smurflings!
James watched as Emily stopped right beside him with one last puff.
“Emily!” Whistled James.
“Smurfette! Smurflings!” Hollered Grouchy, “And… Vanity?!”
“Well, I was feeling left out!” Complained Vanity, “And James, I told you I should smurf along with you!”
“Well, it’s too late for that now, Vanity!” Said Smurfette severely.
“But what’s puffing on?” James said puzzlingly.
“And why are you all here?” Added Grouchy.
“We’ve been smurfing everywhere for you three, that’s why!” Snapped Snappy.
“And James, you gotta smurf Grouchy and Baby Smurf back to the sheds, right now!” Sassette said warningly.
“And Papa Smurf is almost finishing assembling the time crystals!” Added Smurfette.
“And we’ve waited for you for so long, but you didn’t arrived!” Wheeshed Emily, “So I, Smurfette, Vanity, and the Smurflings had to puff out and search for you three!”
“Bust my buffers!” Whistled James.
“Bust my smurfs!” Hollered Grouchy.
“Uh-oh!” Squealed Baby Smurf.
“And there isn’t much time!” Warned Vanity, “And if we don’t smurf it before nighttime, we have to wait till tomorrow, and early in the morning! And that won’t do for my smurfy looks!”
“But I’m afraid I can’t puff on.” Moaned Emily, “I’m almost out of water, and my wheels are really aching me.”
“Oh poor Emily.” Said the Smurflings sadly.
“Ohh.” Said Baby Smurf sadly also.
“Well don’t worry everybody!” Tooted James cheerfully, “Just puff it all to dependable and reliable me! And I have plenty of water to get us all to Tidmouth Sheds lickety-split!”
“Oh, thank you, James!” Said the five Smurfs thankfully.
“And that was very helpful and kind of you, too.” Puffed Emily thankfully also.
“But first,” Said James, “Let me couple up Emily, and then we’re on our way.”
“Thank you, James.” Said Smurfette sweetly, and she blew a kiss to the #5 engine. “[SMOOCH]”
“Uhhhhh…” Blushed James, and his face went pinker than ever and felt very speechless.
“Hehehehehe.” Chuckled the Smurflings.
“Hmhmhmhmhm.” Giggled Emily and Smurfette.
“Um, Smurf to James!” Grouchy shouted as he tries to snap him out, “We should be smurfing now!”
“Huh? Oh, right! Let’s go!” Steamed James, and he chuffed off to the nearest juction.
After switching tracks, James slowly and gently buffered up to Emily. And with all his strength, “[Grouchy grunting while flexing his muscles]” Grouchy coupled up the two Engines. And he even connected their brake pipes. At last, everything is all set.
“Is everybody ready?!” James tooted.
“Ready!” Whistled Emily.
“Smurfin’ ready, James!” Said the five Smurfs cheerfully.
“O-k!” James whistled, “Here we go! And “smurf” on to your hats, Smurfs!“ And with two happy toots, “[PEEP! PEEP!]” The #5 engine, along with the non-numbered engine and the six Smurfs, chuffed off quickly to Tidmouth Sheds as fast as he could.
After leaving the Sodor Island Seaside, James, with Emily behind him and along with the six Smurfs, raced through the countryside with such speed and was on his way to Tidmouth Sheds. And he was on the same way that he chuffed through before.
James had chuffed through both, but the other way around, the main line and the branch line. And he also chuffed through the same locations which is also the other way around. He dashed by some stations, cluttered through tunnels, and rattled over bridges. And he also passed by some of the other Engines along the way.
But then, there was trouble. Along the branch line up ahead, is a diamond. And as James was going to chuff straight through it, he saw something that made him gasped. He could see that Diesel was about to cross through it, and he doesn’t care on what he was watching and going.
James was appalled and he blew his whistle loudly. “[PEEP-PEEP! PEEP-PEEP!]”
Diesel jumped and reversed back just in time.
And the two Engines sped passed by him in a flash. “[ZOOM!]”
“WATCH WHERE YA CHUFFING YOU CARELESS DIRTY DIESEL!” James shouted crossly.
“AND I HATE THAT CARELESS DIRTY DIESEL!” Yelled Grouchy negative.
“CLUMSY RAILSMURFER!” Snappy hollered furiously.
This made Diesel very cross. “THIS IS WHY I NEVER WANT TO GET ALONG WITH YOU STINKY STEAMIES!” He roared.
“OH, SHUT UP, DIESEL!” Fumed James and Emily.
“AND PUT A SMURF IN IT, TOO!” The five Smurfs countered back.
“ERRRRRRRRR!” Growled Diesel.
But James and Emily didn’t hear him this time, and they simply just kept on chuffing along the branch line.
Just then, James was chuffing along the main line again, and he realized that he’s almost there. But suddenly, he began to feel tired, and his axles, gears, and wheels are beginning to ache. But James knew that he couldn’t stop, and was determined to bring the rest of the Smurfs to Tidmouth Sheds and get them there in time for their departure.
“Must get back home, must get back home, must get back home!” Panted James.
“Do you have to resmurf the same thing all the time?!” Shouted Grouchy.
“Sorry!” Chuffed James, “That’s what we Engines say when we get worried!”
“Please don’t smurf that!” Complained Vanity, “It’s smurfing me a wrinkle!”
“Pah, what a drama Smurf!” Sniffed Emily.
“And if only I can chuff faster!” Groaned James, “With some pride or willpower!”
“Well James!” Snappy called, “If it’s pride AND willpower you want, then it’s both you’re gonna smurf!”
“But by what?!” James chuffed puzzlingly.
“By singing your favorite song!” Said Sassette excitedly.
“You mean…?!” Gasped James.
“Yes!” Said the Smurflings, “Smurf it, Emily!”
“My pleasure, Smurflings!” Tooted Emily. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”

[Song stops]
And so, with a lot of pride and willpower after hearing his favorite song from the five Smurfs, James increased his speedometer to 100 mph and he high-speedily set off with Emily behind him and the rest of Smurfs along with him to Tidmouth Sheds, and was really determined to get the little blue time-travelers there in time for their departure.
_________________________________________________
(Amtrak Smurf): Will James get the rest of the Smurfs to Tidmouth Sheds in time for their departure? Let’s all hope that he will, and keep your buffers and smurf fingers crossed!
Fun facts: From Thomas and Friends.
When James told Grouchy his secret, he once use a bootlace to mend a hole in his brake pipe while pulling his coaches and his friends teasing him about it, it was from the four Season 1 eps: James And The Coaches, Troublesome Trucks, James And The Express, and of course, Dirty Objects. (And you can see these episodes on Youtube.com or on any other video websites)
From The Smurfs:
Grouchy’s love for his favorite activity, swimming, can be traced back to the Season 6 ep.: Grouchy Makes A Splash. (And you can see this episode on AOL’s video search panel, under the Mofile channel or on any other video websites)
Quiz: Background song #5, well it is indeed The Cheetah Girls singing Strut, but which movie is the song from, the first one, the second one, or the third one? And there are some hints to it!

Wow, great chapter, Amtrak! I enjoyed very much James whistling his version of Smurfs' "LA LA" song, and I've never imagined Grouchy wearing
"SMILEY" undershorts, it was pretty funny! Nor that Brainy could be ill-mannered, interrupting the talk among the Smurfs and the Engines (I confess: besides Grouchy, I like him even though he's a pain in the neck).
Nice to know the friendship between "Happy Grouchy" and "Grouchy James" is getting closer. Very good! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

This is yet another fantastic chapter you have written, Amtrak Smurf. I am enjoying how you're portraying James and Grouchy's interaction with one another. And to answer your question about the background song, Strut it's from the Cheetah Girls 2.
