Chapter 6: Meet The Engines And The Argument
[Thomas & Friends Engine Roll Call]
[Song plays and starts]
[TOOT! TOOT!]
[Chorus]
THEY’RE TWO, THEY’RE FOUR, THEY’RE SIX, THEY’RE EIGHT
SHUNTING TRUCKS AND HAULING FREIGHT
RED AND GREEN AND BROWN AND BLUE
THEY’RE THE REALLY USEFUL CREW
ALL WITH DIFFERENT ROLES TO PLAY
ROUND TIDMOUTH SHEDS OR FAR AWAY
DOWN THE HILLS AND ROUND THE BENDS
THO-MAS AND HIS FRIENDS
[Song stops]
Well, there’s nothing much to say from the previous chapter. Thomas and the Smurfs learned each others languages. Thomas entered the town of Knapford to make one pit stop, which is dropping off Annie and Clarabel. Grouchy was being rude and negative… again. And the Smurfs learned about the facts of trains and rolling stock. Now, Thomas and the Smurfs are on their way to Tidmouth Sheds to meet the #1 engine’s friends, and they’re really excited to meet them. But, there’s one question: Is Grouchy going to ruin everything? Well, let’s puff and smurf to find out!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, Smurfs and Smurfettes, the moment you all been waiting for. The revealing of the “certain smurf” and “certain engine” is in this chapter! Who are they you ask? You’ll find out as you read along!
At long last, after dropping off Annie and Clarabel, Thomas and the Smurfs arrived at Tidmouth Sheds. The little blue tank engine welcome them warmly.
“[PEEP! PEEP!] Peep! Peep! Here we are!” Whistled Thomas, “My home, Tidmouth Sheds.”
“Ooh. It’s so smurfy.” Said Smurfette impressively.
“Indeed it is.” Added Vanity.
“And look!” Thomas called, “There are my friends!”
“Zipping zebras!” Sassette shouted excitedly, “Look!”
The Smurfs all looked and were awestruck. “Wow!” They said. But Grouchy is still sulking right beside Thomas’ dome.
There, at the sheds, live seven steam engines, and they are indeed friends of Thomas. On the left side of the sheds, live three Engines. Two of them are big tender engines, and the other is a small tank engine. The blue one is Gordon, the green one is Henry, and the little green one is Percy. On the right side of the sheds, live the other four Engines. Three of them are mid-size tender engines, and the other is another small tank engine that is strange-looking. The red one is James, the blue one is Edward, the emerald(dark green) one is Emily, and the little brown one is Toby. (The reason why Toby is strange-looking because he’s a tram engine and his body is square-shape. And he’s not parked behind one of the sheds because he has his own at his hometown, at Arlesdale.) And altogether with Thomas, they are called, “The Steam Team.”
The Smurfs are amazed, except Grouchy.
“Wow!” Said Handy amazingly, “Just smurf at them all!”
“And look!” Painter pointed, “There are two enganez that are alzo blue!”
“And there are two green ones, too!” Snappy added.
“And there’s also a red and brown one, too!” Put in Sassette.
“And look at that emerald one!” Smurfette pointed, “It’s a girl steam engine!”
“Yes, this is indeed truly amazing.” Papa said grandly.
Papa turn to Thomas. “You’re friends are very smurfy, Thomas.” He said impressively.
“Thank you, Papa Smurf.” Said Thomas proudly, “Come. I’ll introduce you all to them.”
But just as Thomas began to move, he heard a noise.
“[YAWN]” It was Lazy. At long last, the sleepy smurf is waking up. “That was a smurfy nap.” He yawned.
“Well, it’s about time that you smurf up.” Hefty groaned, “My smurfer is getting smurf.”
Lazy can see that indeed he’s on Hefty’s left shoulder. “Well you can smurf me down now, Hefty.” He said pleasingly.
Hefty gently put Lazy down.
“Thank you.” Said Lazy.
“Well, hello Lazy.” Thomas tooted.
Lazy turn and jumped. “AAAAH! It’s the giant railsmurfer!” He shouted as he jumped on to Hefty’s arms.
“Gee, smurf it easy, Lazy.” Hefty said as he hold on to the sleepy smurf.
“And actually, Lazy.” Said Brainy, “In this time period it’s called a steam engine.”
“A steam engine?” Confuse Lazy.
“Yes. A steam engine.” Said Handy clearly.
“And his name is Thomas.” Snappy added.
“He’s really nice.” Put in Sassette, “And means us no harm.”
“Oh. Well.” Said Lazy calmly, “If you all smurf so.”
“Then smurf on and smurf hello.” Said Hefty encouragingly, and again put Lazy gently down.
Lazy walked up to Thomas and greeted him. “Nice to smurf you, Thomas.” He said happily.
“And it’s nice to “smurf” you too, Lazy.” Thomas puffed. “Nice to meet you awake that is.”
“Well, everysmurf knows me.” Lazy giggled, “I just love to sleep.”
“And always avoid smurfing chores and jobs.” Jokey teased, “And don’t smurfget it. [Jokey laughing teasingly]”
Lazy blushed and felt embarrassed. And it’s true, he does like to sleep 24/7 and always avoid doing chores and jobs.
Thomas felt sorry for Lazy and cheered him up. “It’s alright.” He puffed, “We all get lazy sometimes and avoid doing chores and jobs, even me and my friends. And don’t forget that, too.”
Lazy felt better and turn to Jokey. “Ha! In your smurf, Jokey!” He counter back at the cheeky smurf.
“That’s not funny, not funny at all!” Said Jokey feeling defeated.
“But it is to me!” Said Thomas and he had to laugh. “[Thomas laughing]”
“Ah, smurfs.” Said Jokey feeling even more defeated.
“Look, Lazy.” Smurfette replied, “Thomas is about to introsmurf us to his friends.”
“And he offer us a place to smurf the night in, too.” Said Clumsy.
“Oh, Good.” Said Lazy gladly, “Now I can smurf some more sleep.” And he stretched his arms and let out a yawn. “[YAWN]”
But Lazy looked at Thomas. He can see that the little blue tank engine is pacing his concern emotion. Thinking that Lazy will go back to sleep again.
“Well, after we smurf Thomas’ friends.” Said Lazy after changing his decision.
Thomas smiled. “Well, alright.” He tooted, “Let’s go.”
So very slowly, Thomas puffed into the turntable.
As Thomas stopped at the front edge of the table, one of his friends began to speak.
“Welcome home, Thomas.” Peep Percy.
“We’ve been waiting for you.” Emily chirped.
“What took you so long?” James added.
“You all wouldn’t believe what I just found!” Said Thomas excitedly.
“What did you find?” Asked Toby.
Just then, Emily could see that there’s something on top of Thomas’ boiler and tanks, but she couldn’t see it clearly. So very slowly, she move closer and closer. But as she stop and could see it clearly, she shrieked. “EEEEK!”
“WHOA!” Cried Thomas. That made him jumped.
That made the Smurfs jumped also.
“Thomas!” Emily shrieked, “There are rats on top of you!”
“Rats! Where?!” Panic Percy.
“Over there!” James shouted, “On top of his boiler and tanks!”
Percy saw them and screamed. “AAAAH!”
“Now, now everybody! Take it easy!” Said Thomas as he tries to calm his friends down.
“And who are you smurfing rats?!” Snapped Snappy, he found that remark very insulting.
“Bust my boiler! They can talk!” Gasp Henry.
“And they’re blue! Like me!” Stun Gordon.
“And me!” Whistled Edward. “And even you, Thomas!”
“And they’re wearing the exact same clothes like the people of Sodor!” Added Toby.
“Yes, they’re blue, they can talk, and they’re wearing the same clothes like the people of Sodor!” Said Thomas knowingly, “But they’re NOT rats!”
“They’re not?” Said Percy confusingly.
“Then who, or what are they?” Wondered Emily.
“Go on. Tell them.” Thomas said encouragingly.
The Smurfs stood up and speak to the Engines. “We’re Smurfs!” They said happily.
“Smurfs?” Said James puzzlingly.
“We never heard of those kind of things before.” Added Henry.
“I’ve heard stories of Gnomes, flying horses, and other things.” Said Percy, “But never about Smurfs.”
“And we wonder why?” Emily added.
“I think they’re ready for your explanation, Papa Smurf.” Said Thomas to the village leader.
“And I’ll be glad to smurf it.” Said Papa.
Papa stood up and began to explain to the Engines. “Well, even though we are mythical creatures.” He said, “But we Smurfs try to keep our existence from ever happening.”
“But, as Thomas already know this.” Said Brainy disappointingly, “It’s too late. No thanks to a certain evil “but stupid” wizard who kept spinning his life trying to eat us or smurfing us into gold.”
And the other Smurfs shook theirs heads in depression.
The Engines were shocked.
“Oh, you poor innocent, little things!” Percy said stunningly.
“No wonder we never heard stories about you!” Added Toby, “And we felt very sorry, too.”
“And that bad wizard that you explained!” Gordon boom crossly, “He’s DISGRACEFUL!”
“DISGUSTING!” Hiss James.
“And DISPICABLE!” Finish Henry.
“Not to mention DISHONORABLE!” Said Edward severely.
“And DISRESPECTFUL!” Added Emily.
You see, whenever there’s a bad situation, Henry, Gordon, and James let out “the 3D’s”; three D letter words. And now, Edward and Emily thought of D letter words for themselves, and now, it’s “the 5D’s”
“Funny.” Murmur Hefty to Jokey, “Those are the words that Gargamel smurfs to us.”
“I know.” Said Jokey.
“No-good magic meanie!” Fume Percy.
“You puff it!” Agree Toby.
“And I think so, too!” Said Thomas crossly.
“Well, Thomas already know this.” Said Snappy to the Engines, “But it’s ok. We always outsmurfed that nitwit wizard, anyway.”
“What? Outsmurfed?” Puzzled James.
“And smurfing?” Said Percy confusingly.
Now, like Thomas, the Engines don’t understand the way the Smurfs are speaking.
“I think they’re gonna like this.” Said Thomas to the Smurfs.
And this time, Greedy is explaining it. “Pardon us.” He said. “We Smurfs speak in a smurf language, by replacing a word with the word “smurf”."
“Hmm?” Ponder the Engines.
“Like this simple example.” Brainy explained, “When I said “smurfing us into gold”, I mean “turning us into gold”.” He said understandingly. “So that’s how we Smurfs speak like that.”
“Oh.” Said the Engines as they understand.
“We get it, now.” Percy puffed.
“And we like the way you all talk, too.” Tooted Henry.
“It’s sounds splendid!” Put in James.
“We all want to learn that.” Said Emily happily.
“You will.” Promise Thomas, “But now, they’re tired and they need their rest.”
“But, wait. There’s one thing we need to know.” Said Edward, and he turned to the Smurfs. “Where are you all from, and how did you all get here?”
Thomas turn to Grandpa. “Looks like they’re ready for the other explanation, Grandpa Smurf.” He said to the Elder smurf.
“And I’ll be glad to smurf it, too.” Said Grandpa.
Grandpa stood up and spoke to the Engines. “It’s a long story.” He said as he starts, “And it all started back at our home village…” And so Grandpa began to tell Thomas’ friends the whole story.
Another hour has pasted, and the sun is almost disappearing into the horizon.
But at long last, like before, after hearing the whole story, Grandpa, once again, finally ended it. “…and that’s how we smurfed ourselves in this time period.” He said as he finishes.
The Smurfs all shook their heads in honesty.
The Engines are even more shocked.
“Smokin’ smoke-box!” Sputter Gordon.
“The Smurf village?!” Stun Henry.
“Time-traveling?!” Gasp Percy.
“And the historic places that you all went?!” Whistled James.
“And we can’t believe that you all are from the year 1505!” Groan Edward, “That’s 450 years from the past! And this is all way too much.”
“And we hope you all find your way home, soon.” Said Emily faithfully.
“And they do look tired.” Added Toby, “And indeed, they need their rest.”
“Well, your friend Thomas here, is very smurfy to offer us a place to smurf the night in with all of you.” Said Papa grandly.
“And indeed, I did.” Thomas said proudly.
The Engines are pleased and felt very grand.
“That was very kind, Thomas.” Edward puffed happily.
“Indeed it is.” Emily agreed.
“We would love to have all you Smurfs to spend the night with us.” Percy peeped.
“Our home, is your home.” James whistled.
“Thank you, you all are very smurfy.” Said Papa grandly, “Now, allow us to introsmurf oursmurfs.”
So one by one, the Smurfs introduce themselves to the Engines.
“I’m Papa Smurf.”
“I’m Grandpa Smurf.”
“Mine’s Brainy.”
“My name’s Clumsy.”
“I’m Greedy.”
“Mine’s Handy.”
“I’m Hefty.”
“Jokey is my name.”
“My name’s Lazy.”
“I’m Vanity.”
“Allo, I’m Painter.”
“I’m Snappy.”
“I’m Sassette.”
“I’m Smurfette and this is Baby Smurf. [Baby Smurf cooing happily]”
“And this is Wild.” Papa said to the Engines, “He doesn’t talk like us, but he’s still a Smurf like us.”
Wild jumped up and down, and said hello to the Engines. “[Wild chattering happily]”
“And lastly,” Said Grandpa, “This is Smoogle.”
Smoogle waved and also chattered hello to the Engines. “[Purring] Hello.”
The Engines are very impressed.
“Well, it certainly is a pleasure to meet all of you.” Said Edward grandly.
“Charmed.” Tooted Emily. “And Baby Smurf is ever so adorable.”
“Welcome to the Island of Sodor!” Whistled Henry.
“Now, allow us to introduce ourselves.” Gordon boom grandly.
So one by one, the Engines introduce themselves to the Smurfs.
“My name is Gordon.”
“I’m Henry.”
“I’m Percy.”
“James is my name.”
“Mine’s Edward.”
“My name is Emily.”
“And I’m Toby.”
“And those are my friends.” Said Thomas proudly.
The Smurf are very impressed also, except Grouchy.
“Well, it smurftainly is a pleasure to meet all of you, too.” Said Papa grandly.
“Charmed and smurfed as well.” Said the Smurfs grandly also.
Just then, Brainy remembered something. “So, if Thomas is the #1 engine.” He said, “Who’s #2?”
“[PEEP! PEEP!] I’m the #2 engine.” Whistled Edward.
“I’m the #3 engine. [PEEP! PEEP!]” Henry tooted.
“My engine number is #4. [POOP! POOP!]” Gordon puffed.
“#5 is my engine number. [PEEP! PEEP!]” James huffed.
“I’m the #6 engine. [PEEP! PEEP!]” Peep Percy.
“And I’m the #7 engine. [DING-DING! DING-DING!]” Rang Toby.
“I don’t have a number.” Said Emily truthfully, “And I’m not the #8 engine. But I’ll be happy to blow my whistle.” And she gave the Smurfs two smooth toots. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”
The Smurfs are even more impressed, again except Grouchy.
“Ooh. Their whistles sound smurfy.” Smurfette remarked.
“Yeah, better than Harmony’s trumpet.” Whisper Hefty to his fellow Smurfs.
The other Smurfs couldn’t help but giggle. “[Smurfs giggling]”
“So, Thomas.” Percy replied, “Where did you find them?”
“I found them near the bushes along the branch line while I was on my way here.” Explained Thomas. “At first, I though they were animals. And, I almost ran over one of them, and thank goodness my coaches were able to stop me in time.”
“Oh my!” Gasp James, Edward, Emily and Toby.
“What happen?!” Stun Gordon, Henry, and Percy.
Clumsy stood up and explain. “I was stuck in the tracks.” He said, “My leg was smurfed.”
“And I tried to smurf him out.” Hefty jumped in, “But, I smurf some help from my friends, Brainy and Handy.”
“And that’s the truth.” Said Brainy.
“M-hmm.” Agreed Handy.
“Well, thank goodness the four of you are alright.” Said the Engines in relief.
“Indeed they are.” Said Thomas.
Meanwhile, Handy was looking curiously at Toby. He can see that the #7 engine is different from the other Engines.
So, Handy turn to Thomas. “Thomas?” He replied.
“What is it, Handy?” Thomas responded.
“It’s your friend, Toby.” Said Handy, “He looks different than you and your other friends. And I wonder why?”
“That’s because I’m a tram engine.” Said Toby as he overheard Handy’s curiosity.
“Well, are you still a steam engine, Toby?” Wondered Handy.
“Yes.” Said Toby, “And here are the difference.”
So, Toby began explaining. “You see, I’m square-shape. My body is made out of wood. I have cowcatchers at both ends. My wheels are hidden by side-plates at both sides. And instead of a whistle, I have a bell, right on top.”
“Uh, and where’s your coal bunker, Toby?” Asked Clumsy.
“My coal bunker is right inside of me.” Answered Toby, “And indeed, that’s where I store my coal.”
“Oh.” Said Clumsy.
“And that’s all you need to know about me.” Toby said as he finished.
“Wow. Thank you, Toby.” Said Handy amazingly and thankfully.
“You’re welcome.” Giggled Toby.
“Ooh. And Toby’s bell sounds smurfy, too.” Said Sassette sweetly.
“M-hmm.” Agreed Snappy, “And even way better than Harmony’s trumpet.” He whisper to the Smurfs.
The Smurfs again couldn’t help but giggle. “[Smurfs giggling]”
Just then, James notice something. There, leaning against Thomas’ dome, is a Smurf with both arms and one leg crossed over, and has a scowl on his face. And indeed, that Smurf is Grouchy.
James is curious. “Beg your pardon, Papa Smurf.” He called to the village leader, “But, who’s that Smurf leaning against Thomas’ dome?”
“Oh dear.” Wheesh Thomas nervously as he turn to the bad-tempered smurf.
Papa turned and sigh. “[Sigh] Oh, that’s Grouchy.” He said, “And don’t smurf why.”
James frowned seriously, and took another look at Grouchy and already knew. “Well, no wonder.” He said to himself, “He looks troublesome to me.”
“Phew.” Sigh Thomas to himself in relief, “Nothing bad so far.”
So James decided not to get involved with this situation and simply let it go.
Meanwhile, Painter was looking at each of Thomas’ friends. He was admiring their coats(coat of paint). He had never seen such a colorful sight. After all, he is a true smurf artist and can tell of it.
Suddenly, Painter saw something that caught his attention. He was looking at James. The mid-size red tender engine’s coat is different, it’s all nice and shiny. And it’s getting some 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!] He also has a gold dome that sparkles glitteringly. [Glittering Sounds] And lastly, he’s the only Engine to have a whistle mounted on top of his cab. The whistle is also getting a glisten. [Sound of light glistening] Painter was impressed. He thinks that James is very special and looks wonderful. After all, there’s only one red engine on the island, and his name is James, the really splendid Engine.
Painter wasted no time and spoke to James excitedly. “Ooh, la la! Excusez-moi, Monsieur James!” He called to the #5 engine, “But I couldn’t help notize that your coat of red paint iz all nize, shiny, and smurfy! You look magnifique!”
James was delighted and felt very pleased with himself.
Just then, Vanity stepped in beside Painter and looked at James also. “Oh, you’re right, Painter.” He agreed with the painting-loving smurf, “James’ red coat is all nice, shiny, and smurfy. And I can tell, because I am after all, a very handsome Smurf. And us wonderful fellows must express each other all the time.” And turn his attention to his reflection in his mirror.
After hearing that comment, James was even more delighted and beamed with pride. He felt very proud.
“Why, thank you, Vanity.” Said James grandly and proudly, “Thank you, Painter. And yes, my red coat is indeed all nice, shiny, and as you say, “smurfy”, too.”
“Oh, brother.” Sniff Gordon.
“There he goes again.” Moan Emily.
“SHH!” Hiss Edward.
“And that’s not all.” James continued, “ I have a gold dome that sparkles glitteringly, and I’m the only Engine to have a whistle mounted on top of my cab, see.”
Painter and Vanity can see the whistle and it’s also getting a twinkle. [TWINK!]
“Ooh. Ahh.” Said Painter and Vanity together in amazement.
“Yes, with all this.” Said James, “That’s what makes me a really splendid Engine.”
“Indeed you are.” Agreed Vanity.
“Oui, oui.” Said Painter positively.
Then suddenly, the sound of someone’s familiar voice shouted in the air. “I HATE really splendid Engines!”
“[GASP]” Gasp Painter and Vanity, and turned around.
The two Smurfs could see, that it’s no other than Grouchy who said that negative remark.
James was extremely shocked! He couldn’t believe what he just heard. That negative remark had really got to him badly. He felt crushed. But deep inside his boiler, he was hurt.
“Oh no!” Cried Thomas, “I knew this would happen!”
“And I didn’t smurf that coming, too!” Papa cried also.
Painter and Vanity are furious and went to confront Grouchy.
Grouchy could see them approaching and braced himself for a confrontation.
But just as it was about to happen, Clumsy spoke.
“Uh, Painter, Vanity.” Clumsy said to the two Smurfs, “What ever do, don’t smurf around.”
“And why not?” Said Vanity puzzlingly.
Clumsy pointed to James.
As Painter and Vanity turned to see why Clumsy said that suggestion, they see what made them gasp and gulp. “[GASP and GULP]” They can see, that James is looking very cross!
“Quick!” Thomas hurried, “Do something to calm him down!”
Painter and Vanity panic as they think of something to calm James down. Suddenly, an idea flown through their heads and the two Smurfs spoke to the #5 engine calmly.
“Wait attendez!” Painter shouted, “Monsieur James, Grouchy didn’t actually mean to smurf that negative remark to you. N’est-ce pas, Vanity?”
“Yeah, Yeah.” Said Vanity nervously but calmly, “Grouchy was only smurfing- I, I mean kidding. Right, Painter?”
“Oui, Oui.” Said Painter calmingly.
At last, James has calm himself down.
So the two Smurfs stepped in beside Grouchy, with Painter in the left and Vanity in the right and began to make the bad-tempered smurf to change his mind and apologize.
“Alright, Grouchy.” Said Vanity eagerly, “Tell James that you didn’t mean to smurf that remark at him.”
“Oui, s’il vous plait?” Said Painter pleasingly.
Grouchy looked at James. He can see that the mid-size red tender engine is waiting patiently for him to say something positive. But instead of that, he made it worse. “I still HATE really splendid Engines!” He said seriously.
“[GASP]“ Painter and Vanity gasp and looked at each other, trembling with sweat breaking out of their forehead. As they turned, now they can see that James is looking very extremely cross and his face went red as Elizabeth the quarry lorry, or Bertie the bus, or better yet, Painter’s jacket! He had heard enough.
“Uh oh.” Shiver Thomas, “This is not good.”
James angrily hiss steam. “[Steam hissing] Why that no-good little blue fuss-pot!” He snarled, “I’m gonna..”
But then, James stopped himself and he began to think. He was thinking of a way to get back at Grouchy. As he think hard, he release some steam. [A wheesh of steam] Then suddenly, an idea flown through his funnel, and it’s a naughty one.
“Brilliant.” Said James quietly to himself, “That’ll teach him for saying that negative remark at me.”
James turn to Thomas. “Oh, Thomas!” He called to the #1 engine, “Are you gonna join us or stay in the turntable all day?!”
“Alright, James!” Snap Thomas, “Just let me turn myself around first!”
“But what is he up to?” Thomas said suspiciously, after seeing that James is calm, but happy.
So Thomas reverse, stopped in the middle of the turntable, and the table began to spin. [Sound of mechanical gears moving]
“Hey, why we’re spinning?” Said Snappy puzzlingly.
“That’s because we’re on the turntable.” Said Thomas.
“What’s a turntable?” Asked Sassette.
“A turntable is a track-bearing platform that is use to turn rolling stock around.” Thomas answered. “Besides, you don’t want us Engines to face a wall, do you?”
“No, indeed.” Chuckled Papa, “We don’t want that at all.”
At last, the turntable stopped. [Gears stopped moving] And very slowly, Thomas reverse off the table, and parked himself between Percy and James.
Now James can begin his plan. But Thomas is still looking very suspicious.
“James,” Thomas said in concern, “What are you up to?”
“I just want to talk to Grouchy.” James moaned, trying to keep Thomas from interfering his plan. “So mind you own safety valve.”
“Hmm?” Thomas said suspiciously.
“My smurfs exactly.” Agreed Papa, which he’s concern about Grouchy as well.
James’ chance had come. “Oh, Grouchy.” He called to the ill-tempered smurf, “Can you please come forward?”
“I HATE smurfing forward!” Grumble Grouchy.
“Just come forward!” James snap impatiently.
So Grouchy did, and stopped at the edge of Thomas’ left water tank.
“What do you want?!” Said Grouchy grumblingly.
“Well, Grouchy.” Said James innocently, “If you really hate a really splendid Engine like me…” Then suddenly, he shouted. “…THEN I’LL BET YOU’LL LOVE THIS! TAKE THAT!”
“[GASP]” Grouchy jumped and gasp as James release a big cloud of steam, straight at him!
“[Steam wheeshing] WHOOOOOOSH!” Went James.
“AAAAAH!” Screamed Grouchy.
The Engines and the Smurfs are extremely shocked!
“OH DEAR!” Cried Emily.
“THIS IS AWFUL!” Yelled Smurfette.
Baby Smurf began to cry. “WAH! WAH!” He wailed.
“STOOOP!” Whistled Thomas.
“YOU’RE SCARING BABY SMURF!” Shouted Papa.
At long last, James stopped wheeshing steam. “[Wheeshing steam stops]”
As the steam cleared, the Smurfs could see that Grouchy is still standing. But he was wobbling and felt very dizzy with his eyes spinning round and round. Then suddenly, he collapse by landing on his back. “[THROP!]”
“OHHHH.” Moan Grouchy in dizziness.
“SERVES HIM RIGHT!” Snarled James.
“OH! James.” Stunned Edward.
Handy and Hefty went up to Grouchy to see if he’s ok.
“Grouchy?” Reply Handy.
“Are you alright?” Said Hefty.
At last, Grouchy recovered and slowly raised himself up. He closed his eyes, placed his right hand on his forehead and shake the dizziness away. And then, he stopped and felt better.
“He’s smurfy.” Said Handy and Hefty in unison.
After he stopped shaking, Grouchy suddenly scrunch his eyes and scowled. He stood up, shoved Handy and Hefty out of the way, walked towards the edge of Thomas’ left water tank, stopped and began to confront James.
But James is countering back by pacing his boiling red crossed face.
“Uh oh.” Reply Clumsy nervously.
“This is not good.” Shiver Percy.
“It’s the battle of the grouches.” Tremble Brainy.
“Grouchy vs. James.” Wheesh Toby.
Grouchy furiously grudged his teeth at James, while James crossly made his face redder than ever at Grouchy.
But, the two started to feel numb. Grouchy stopped first. So he turn and stormed furiously away from James.
“No-good little blue fuss-pot.” Sniff James crossly.
“I hate James.” Said Grouchy softly.
But James heard him. “WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” He shouted.
“I SAID I HATE JAMES!” Grouchy roared loudly.
“FINE!” James yelled, “I DON’T LIKE YOU, TOO! SO GO AWAY!”
“DON’T WORRY!” Screamed Grouchy, “I AM SMURFING AWAY, AND I LOVE IT!”
“FINE!” Snarled James.
“FINE!” Hissed Grouchy.
[James:] “HA!”
[Grouchy:] “HA!”
[James:] “PAH!”
[Grouchy:] “NAH!”
So Grouchy turn and stormed furiously towards Thomas’ dome and began sulking, while James reverse crossly in his shed and began sulking also.
“Oh dear.” Said Smurfette depressingly.
“This is terrible.” Wheesh Emily sadly.
“And there’s nothing that I can do.” Sigh Thomas.
“So do I.” Papa sigh also.
“But it’s best if we leave those two alone.” Suggested Edward kindly and wisely. “It’s getting late, and it’s time for us to get some sleep.”
“I agree with Edward.” Said Grandpa wisely, “And it‘s time for us to smurf some sleep, too.”
And the Smurfs agreed.
“Well, I guest I should be going now.” Said Toby.
“Were you smurfing, Toby?” Asked Clumsy.
“Home.” Answered Toby.
“Is this a joke?” Jokey giggled, “We though this is your home.”
“Well, Tidmouth Sheds is my secondary home.” Explained Toby, “My actually home is up north from here. But I’ll be back first thing tomorrow.” He promised.
“Oh. Alright, Toby.” Said Handy, “We’ll smurf you tomorrow then.”
“Good night, Toby.” Said the Smurfs.
“Good night, Smurfs.” Rang Toby, “And I’ll see you all tomorrow, too.” And with four dings from his bell. “[DING-DING! DING-DING!]” The little brown tram engine puffed away to his shed at Arlesdale.
“Alright, everybody.” Said Thomas to his friends, “It’s time for bed.”
“You too, my little Smurfs.” Said Papa to his Smurfs.
“Alright, Thomas.” Said the Engines.
“Yes, Papa Smurf.” Said the Smurfs.
So one by one, the Engines reverse themselves in their sheds, and got ready for bed.
Thomas even manage to have a big comfy blanket in his cab and he offer it to the Smurfs.
And so, one by one, the Smurfs snuggle themselves into the blanket, and got ready for bed, too.
“Good night, Smurfs.” Said the Engines, except James, “We hope you all sleep well.”
“Good night, Engines.” Said the Smurfs, except Grouchy, “And we hope you all smurf well, too.”
So, one by one each, the Engines and the Smurfs slowly close their eyes, and they all went happily and peacefully to sleep.
Nighttime came, and the sun had disappeared into the horizon. The stars are twinkling in the sky. The moon is glowing brightly. And everything around the island went silent after another hard day’s work.
At Tidmouth Sheds, all the Engines and the Smurfs are fast asleep. Well, except for one Engine and one Smurf.
James is the only Engine still wide awake, and he couldn’t get himself to sleep. He was still thinking about the argument he and Grouchy had that evening. He’s also thinking about that negative remark the bad-tempered smurf had said to him, it really made James feel crushed, and hurt. No one, not even his friends would ever say a thing to him, and they already know that. The only positive way to do, is to tell James to stop being the center of attention. After all, James loves to brag about how splendid he is, and indeed he’s the only Engine to have a nice and shiny coat of red paint. And that really annoys his friends. And it also leads James to trouble and foolishness. But for now, James doesn’t feel like his really splendid self at all, he’s now feeling very miserable.
After having a long though, James began to speak. “Who does that Smurf think he is?” He said upsettingly, “Saying that negative remark to me, James, the really splendid Engine. It really hurts me. And I was right all along, he is troublesome. And worse, I don’t feel like my really splendid self anymore, it’s all gone, no thanks to that Smurf, the one with the scowl on his face. Now the only way to get my really splendid self back, is for Grouchy to apologize to me. But I don’t think he will. Uh, forget it. I don’t ever want to see that little blue fuss-pot again. And if I do, I’ll say something hurtful that it will make him cry. But right now, I’m in a miserable dilemma.” And he let out a big sigh. “[SIGH]”
Just then, James heard some tiny metal-clanging footsteps. [Metal-clanging noise] It was Grouchy, and he was walking towards the edge of Thomas’ left water tank. As he stopped, he sat down with his legs hanging out.
James was concern. “Why isn’t he asleep?” He said to himself quietly.
But, it’s the same thing, too.
Grouchy is the only Smurf still wide awake, and he couldn’t get himself to sleep also. He’s also still thinking about the argument he and James had that evening. He’s also thinking about that get-back the #5 engine had did to him, it really made Grouchy feel even more bad-tempered. And, it was Grouchy’s second get-back. His first get-back all started back when he and his fellow Smurfs were still in the Smurf village. One day, Tracker, a fellow Smurf of Grouchy who has a red feather in his cap and is an excellent outdoorsman, went off to hunt for some truffles. And at the village, Grouchy grumbles that he hates truffles. But, two of his other fellow Smurfs, Harmony, the one who loves to play the trumpet but always been told to stop playing, and Poet, the one who loves to do poetry, tried to make him admit that he loves truffles by singing and reading a poem to him. But Grouchy still grumbles that he still hates truffles. So that made Harmony and Poet so furious that they got back at Grouchy by lifting and tossing him out of the village. But after that, Grouchy grumbles that he hates violence, too. But for now, while still time-traveling, Grouchy is feeling very short-tempered, and he’s also feeling very miserable.
After remembering that memory, Grouchy also began to speak, “I hate when someone smurf-back at me.” He said upsettingly also, “And I can’t believe it was my second one. But this time, it wasn’t from my fellow Smurfs, it was from that steam engine, that red one. I hate that red engine. And that’s who I am, I’m Grouchy Smurf, and I hate everything. Well, not everything. And I hate to smurf it, but I want James to apologize to me. But I don’t smurf he will. Uh, smurfget it. I don’t ever want to smurf that big red show-off again. And again, I hate to smurf it, but I’m feeling miserable now, still very grouchy, but miserable.” And he also let out a big sigh. “[SIGH]”
Just then, Grouchy had a sensing feeling. As he turned around, he could see that James is staring at him.
Grouchy is concern also. “Why isn’t he asleep?” He said to himself quietly also.
Now, there’s a silent. Grouchy wasn’t furious, he was puzzled. And James wasn’t cross, he was curious. So the two just stare at each other without saying a word.
[Background song #2 plays and starts]
[Boy]:
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT I COULDN’T SEE
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE BESIDE ME
[Girl]:
THOUGHT I WAS ALONE
WITH NO ONE TO HOLD
[Both]:
BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS RIGHT BESIDE ME
THIS FEELING’S LIKE NO OTHER
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I’VE NEVER HAD SOMEONE
THAT KNOWS ME LIKE YOU DO
THE WAY YOU DO
AND I’VE NEVER HAD SOMEONE
AS GOOD FOR ME AS YOU
NO ONE LIKE YOU
SO LONELY BEFORE
I FINALLY FOUND
WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
[Music continues]
Suddenly, Grouchy scowled back at James and turned away from him. “Humph!” He hissed.
That made James stunned. But he counter back at him as well. “Humph yourself!” He hissed also and turned away from him, too.
Just then. Grouchy heard a noise.
“[YAWN]” It was James. At long last he’s getting tired and feeling very sleepy.
Grouchy watched as James slowly close his eyes, and went unhappily to sleep and still wearing a frown.
And after seeing that. “[YAWN]” Grouchy also is getting tired and feeling very sleepy. So he stood up, walked towards to his fellow Smurfs, and snuggled himself into the blanket. And Grouchy slowly close his eyes, and also went unhappily to sleep and still wearing a scowl.
Well, even though both Grouchy and James are finally fast asleep. The two are still thinking about each other. Thinking that they should apologize to each other, but they want each other to say it first. But they refuse to. But, when the right time comes, they will do it. Hopefully and soon.
[Song continues]
[Both]:
SO LONELY BEFORE
I FINALLY FOUND
WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
[Girl]:
WHOO-OOOOH
[Music and song stops]
_________________________________________________
(Amtrak Smurf): Now that you know who the “certain engine” and the “certain smurf” is, will Grouchy and James settle their feelings and become friends? We will hopefully find out soon enough.
Fun facts: From Thomas & Friends, when Percy said he heard stories of Gnomes, flying horses, and other things, it was from the Season 6 episode: Percy And The Haunted Mine, Season 7 ep.: Harold And The Flying Horse, And Season 8 ep.: Percy And The Magic Carpet. (And you can see these episodes at Youtube.com)
From The Smurfs, when Grouchy remembered his first get-back, it was from the Season 2 episode: A Mere Truffle. (And you can see this on AOL’s video search panel, under the Tudou channel)
Quiz: Background song #2, well you all know who the singers are, but what’s the title of the song? You get one guest.

You're suppose to type a 7 sentences paragraph about how you think and feel about the argument between Grouchy and James. Chop-chop!

I'll try to give a go at it.
Grouchy may seem grumpy on the outside, but he feels really sad about the argument. He doesn't want the other Smurfs to see his real feelings emerge. Grouchy is afraid to apologize to James because he doesn't know what the result will be.
James is deeply troubled about the argument, but is keeping his feelings inside. Grouchy and James both need to find a way to express their emotions without completely hating each other. Grouchy should quietly talk with someone he fully trusts in about his problem. James should also discuss his problem and think of ways to solve it.
I really enjoy your story so far.
I like Grouchy's attitude because I tend to act out like he does.
Thanks for having two of my most favorite Smurfs, Vanity and Sassette, included in the story.

Alrighty, I think that the argument between James and Grouchy was utterly nutty. At first sound like they're hating on eachother in their argument. However, the next thing you know, they both seem to feel bad about their argument based on what they are saying at the end. The deal at this moment is that neither of them will apologize for the things the said to eachother. Grouchy would have to be the first to apologize considering that he started it. The thing that stands in their way is that they are afraid to describe how they really felt. I think you should think of a good logical conclusion to the problem where Grouchy and James find away to overcome their fear of apologizing.
Great story so far, Amtrak Smurf.

Your paragraph is good, Marianamersmurf. But, I'll give you a B. Grouchy really hurt James' feelings, and they're not actually afraid, they're just stubborn. But soon, they'll over come it.
P. S. Do u know the answer to quiz #2?
P. S. S. Do u like the T & F song? And how do u like my new avatar?

Oh, and to answer your question, the song is What I've been Looking for and of course I like this song. I find it very catchy. I think your new avatar is really neat. It reflects your username better than your old one.
