Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: Rainbow Dash the Tank Engine enjoys shunting troublesome trucks. She can biff them harder and faster than any other engine. It's one of her favorite jobs. One morning Madam Celestia had an important announcement.
 * Madam Celestia: Trixie and Twilight must make extra deliveries of coal.
 * Michael Brandon: She boomed.
 * Madam Celestia: Rainbow Dash, you must shunt and fill freight cars at the coaling plant. Trixie and Twilight, you must collect them this afternoon.
 * Michael Brandon: Rainbow Dash was very pleased. Just then, Snips and Snails chuffed by. Between them was a big, black truck. It was biffing and bashing the little engines.
 * Rainbow Dash: What are you two doing?
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Rainbow Dash. Snips and Snails told him they were delivering the truck to the coaling plant.
 * Rainbow Dash: Why does it need two engines to deliver one truck?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Rainbow Dash.
 * Snails: Because he really doesn't like to be shunted.
 * Michael Brandon: Chuffed Snails.
 * Snips: His name is Thorax.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Snips.
 * Snips: But we call him Thorax the Terrible.
 * Michael Brandon: Snips and Snails chuffed slowly away with Thorax.
 * Trixie: He does look troublesome.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Trixie.
 * Rainbow Dash: Troublesome trucks don't worry me.
 * Michael Brandon: Boasted Rainbow Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: I could biff him firmly into place.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Rainbow Dash chuffed into the coaling plant. And there was Thorax. The other trucks giggled and laughed.
 * Trucks: Big, bad, strong and substantial that truck's name is Thorax the Terrible.
 * Michael Brandon: They sang. Rainbow Dash puffed closer.
 * Thorax: KEEP AWAY!
 * Michael Brandon: Roared Thorax.
 * Rainbow Dash: Snips and Snails were right.
 * Michael Brandon: Thought Rainbow Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: Thorax is scary. And Thorax is Terrible.
 * Michael Brandon: Rainbow Dash decided to keep away. Rainbow Dash spent the morning shunting the other freight cars and filling them with coal. All the time, Rainbow Dash could feel Thorax the Terrible watching her. The coaling plant manager came to see Rainbow Dash.
 * Coaling Plant Manager: We need an extra large delivery.
 * Michael Brandon: He said.
 * Coaling Plant Manager: So Sugar Belle is coming to help you. You must shunt and fill Thorax, then add him to the back of Trixie's train.
 * Michael Brandon: He told Rainbow Dash. Later, Sugar Belle puffed into the yard. She saw Thorax.
 * Sugar Belle: Wow, do we have to shunt and fill that big truck, Rainbow Dash?
 * Michael Brandon: She asked sweetly.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yes.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Rainbow Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: But he doesn't want to be shunted. His name is...
 * Michael Brandon: But before Rainbow Dash could finish, Thorax opened his mouth and let out the biggest roar ever.
 * Thorax: KEEP AWAY!
 * Michael Brandon: He bellowed. Sugar Belle was so surprised, she shook from funnel to foot plate, and she steamed straight out of the yard. This made Rainbow Dash cross. Thorax had biffed and bashed Snips and Snails, he had shouted at Rainbow Dash and he had frightened Sugar Belle so much that she had puffed away. Now, the extra delivery would never be ready. Rainbow Dash had had enough. She puffed up bravely in front of Thorax and gave him a mighty biff. Thorax rolled backwards. He was very cross.
 * Thorax: KEEP AWAY!
 * Michael Brandon: He roared.
 * Rainbow Dash: No I won't.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Rainbow Dash crossly.
 * Rainbow Dash: You are causing confusion and delay. You really are terrible.
 * Michael Brandon: Then with one mighty biff, Rainbow Dash sent Thorax rolling backwards into a set of buffers. Thorax crashed off the track. Rainbow Dash felt very bad. She hadn't meant to knock Thorax over. Rainbow Dash puffed up to Thorax. Thorax lay on his side, looking very sad. Now Thorax didn't seem so terrible.
 * Rainbow Dash: I'm sorry I biffed you so hard.
 * Michael Brandon: Wheezed Rainbow Dash.
 * Rainbow Dash: But why don't you want to be shunted?
 * Thorax: Because I'm scared.
 * Michael Brandon: Moaned Thorax.
 * Rainbow Dash: Why?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Rainbow Dash.
 * Thorax: I'm new.
 * Michael Brandon: He groaned.
 * Thorax: And I'm scared because I haven't been filled with coal before. I don't know what it feels like. That's why I didn't want to be shunted.
 * Michael Brandon: He added. Rainbow Dash was surprised. Later, Bulk Biceps and the workmen arrived and lifted Thorax back onto the tracks. Rainbow Dash wanted to help Thorax.
 * Rainbow Dash: Sometimes I'm scared when I have to do something new.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed.
 * Rainbow Dash: But coal isn't scary.
 * Michael Brandon: Thorax watched as Rainbow Dash rolled under the coal hopper. Black, dusty coal poured into Rainbow Dash's coal box. When the dust settled, Thorax saw that Rainbow Dash was smiling.
 * Rainbow Dash: See, it's not scary.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Rainbow Dasg proudly. Now Thorax was excited.
 * Thorax: I'd like to be filled with coal, too.
 * Michael Brandon: He rumbled.
 * Rainbow Dash: We must hurry.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash pulled Thorax quickly under the coal hopper. Thorax was quickly filled with coal. It felt wonderful. Then Rainbow Dash shunted Thorax into place just in time. Trixie and Twilight puffed into the yard. They saw their waiting trains. Trixie was very surprised to see Thorax at the back.
 * Trixie: Well done, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted Trixie. The trains were soon coupled up. Trixie and Twilight puffed away for their special deliveries. They were very surprised to hear Rainbow Dash whistle "Good luck." But the whistle wasn't for them. It was Rainbow Dash tooting to her new friend "Thorax The Not Terrible At All."
