Granpony
Narrator: "One winter's night, when the cold wind blew, the animals found it hard to sleep."

Braeburn: "What we need..."

Narrator: "Suggested Braeburn,"

Braeburn: "Is to listen to a story."

Pipsqueak: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "A mysterious story."

Soarin: "But,"

Narrator: "Added Soarin,"

Soarin: "It must have a happy ending."

Spike: "Driver told me a story,"

Narrator: "Said Spike, so everyone listened."

Spike: "Once upon a time,"

Narrator: "Began Spike."

Spike: "There were three little characters, who lived in their own little house on their own little land. Their names were Randolph, Rex and Hamm. Randolph was the oldest, and was named after his grace, Duke Randolph. He was proud of this, and liked to keep the younger characters in order.

Whenever they did anything that Randolph thought wrong, he would say,"

Randolph: "That would never suit his grace."

Spike: "Other characters came and went, but Randolph outlasted them all.

Rex and Hamm used to call him 'Granpony.' They were fond of him, but they got very tired of hearing all about 'his grace.'

Sometimes they would tease him and chant,"

Hamm and Rex: "Characters come and characters go, Granpony goes on forever."

Randolph: "You impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "Randolph would say."

Randolph: "Whatever are you toys coming to?"

Rex: "Never mind, Granpony. We're only young once."

Randolph: "Well, you better mind. Unless you want to end up like Sid."

Hamm: "Oh, Granpony? What ever happened?"

Randolph: "Sid,"

Spike: "Said Randolph,"

Randolph: "Was a show-off!

He rode roughly and often came off of the road.

I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice."

Sid: "Listen, Randy,"

Randolph: "He said,"

Sid: "Who worries about a few spills?"

Randolph: "'We do here,' I said, but Sid just laughed."

Sid: "He he he he he!"

Randolph: "Until one day, manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Sid stopped laughing then."

Rex: "Well, why? What did he do?"

Randolph: "He turned him into a generator. He's still out there near our house. He'll never move again."

Spike: "After that, Rex and Hamm became really useful toys, and all three were happy together for many years.

Then, hard times came. The companies near the hills closed, and the land was closed, too. People came to buy the characters."

Passengers: "We'll take Rex and Hamm."

Spike: "No one wanted Randolph. They thought him 'Too old'."

Rex: "Cheer up, Granpony."

Spike: "Called Rex."

Rex: "We'll find you some nice land, and then you can come and keep us in order."

Spike: "They tried to be brave and cheerful, but no one really thought their dreams would come true.

Randolph's driver and fireman polished and greased him one last time. They sheeted him snugly, and said good-bye. Then they had to go away and find work. Randolph was alone.

Randolph: "Oh, well."

Spike: "He sighed."

Randolph: "I'll go to sleep. It'll help to pass the time."

Spike: Winter torrents washed soil from the hills. Trees and bushes grew all around. You wouldn't have known a house was there, let alone a pony asleep inside."

Pipsqueak: "That's not a happy ending!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Ah,"

Narrator: "Murmured Spike."

Spike: "There will be one, but that will have to wait until next time."

Sleeping Beauty
Narrator: "It was a beautiful night in Ponyville. The day's work was done and the animals puffed safely home."

Pipsqueak: "Spike,"

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Will you tell us the end of the story?"

Spike: "You mean the one about Randolph the Lost Pony?"

Big Macintosh: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Said Big Macintosh."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "But please remind us of the story so far."

Narrator: "So Spike began and here is the rest of the story he told."

Spike: "Randolph was old and lived with two young toys called Rex and Hamm. They teased Randolph and called him 'Granpony', but they were happy together.

Then, their land was closed down and the young toys went away. Randolph was left alone in the house. He went to sleep and everything around him changed. But Randolph was never forgotten.

Years went by until one day not long ago, visitors came to see Hoity Toity."

Visitors: "We want to find Randolph."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "And make him happy again."

Spike: "Maps layed everywhere."

Visitors: "If we follow the old road shown here on the map."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "We'll travel north of the village and then into the mountains. And look. There's the sign for the old station. If Randolph's anywhere, he's there."

Spike: "Everyone set off to the mountains far away.

The days went by, the search grew harder, but the rescuers wouldn't give up."

Visitors: "Let's go this way."

Spike: "They said.

But there was still no sign of Randolph."

Visitors: "He's here somewhere."

Spike: "They said. They scrambled over hills, struggled over ditches.

At last their search ended, quite by accident."

(Crash!)

Visitors: "We found him! We found our sleeping beauty."

Randolph: "Excuse me?"

Spike: "Enquired Randolph."

Randolph: "Are you a vandal? Driver told me vandals break and smash things."

Visitors: "Bless you, no."

Spike: "Laughed the rescuers."

Visitors: "We dropped in because we couldn't find your door. Hamm and Rex will be pleased to see you."

Randolph: "So they did remember."

Spike: "Sighed Randolph happily.

Then they all set off for Randolph's new home.

Rex and Hamm are ready for a big welcome."

Hamm and Rex: "He's here."

Spike: "They whispered."

Hamm and Rex: "Sh! Sh!"

Randolph: "You woke me up."

Spike: "Grumbled Randolph."

Randolph: "In my young days, characters were..."

Rex: "Seen and not heard, Granpony, we know."

Hamm: "We're all be back at work tomorrow. We're glad you've come back. We can keep you in order now."

Randolph: "Keep me in order? Be off with you! Impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "But Randolph's old eyes twinkled, and for the first time in years, he smiled as he dozed in the sun.

And that..."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "...is the whole story. Did you like it?"

Other Animals: "Yes indeed."

Narrator: "Agreed the animals."

Other Animals: "Especially the happy ending."

Narrator: "And soon, they were all asleep too."

A Bad Day for Hamm
Narrator: "Woody and Buzz Lightyear work on the land that weaves around lakes and play rooms. Their fillies have many visitors, and the toys are proud to run the path, come rain or shine.

The toys will never let their passengers down, but they are old, and they tire more easily.

Their drivers understood this, and they spoke kindly to them."

Woody and Buzz Lightyear's Drivers: "There's more than enough work for both of you on this land. The manager is sending two more toys to help us run the path."

Narrator: "Woody and Buzz Lightyear were pleased with this news, and promised to give the new toys a big welcome.

When Hamm and Rex arrived, they found that they had much to learn."

Hamm: "What a small room."

Narrator: "Grunted Hamm."

Hamm: "This won't do at all. We're much too good for this old shack."

Rex: "I think it's nice."

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Hamm: "Humph."

Narrator: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "What's that rubbish?"

Rex: "Shhh. "

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Rex: "That's Woody. He's famous."

Narrator: "And then he whispered to Woody."

Rex: "I'm sorry, Woody, Hamm is upset now, but he's quite nice, really.

Narrator: "Woody felt sorry for Rex."

Hamm's Fireman: "Now, Hamm,"

Narrator: "Said the fireman"

Hamm's Fireman: "I will get you ready for work."

Hamm: "I'm tired! Let Rex go; he'd love it!"

Hamm's Fireman: "No, you're first!"

Narrator: "Hamm puffed away to fetch his fillies. He didn't like the look of them at all."

Hamm: "What ever next? Those aren't fillies, they're calves!"

Fillies: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Screamed the Fillies."

Fillies: "What a horrid toy!"

Hamm: "It's not what I'm used to."

Narrator: "Clanked Hamm.

He rolled to the platform just as Chief Thunderhooves arrived."

Hamm: "Hello, who are you?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm Chief Thunderhooves. Who are you?"

Hamm: "I'm Hamm. I've heard of you. You're a leader. So am I, but I'm used to new fillies, not these calves! Do you have new buffaloes? I see you do."

Chief Thunderhooves: "We must have a chat."

Hamm: "Sorry, I can't stop. We must keep time, you know."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves was speechless!

Clouds of steam filled the air as Hamm huffed and puffed along the road.

He was still cross when they reached the top station. Hamm was hoping for a rest, but his driver thought otherwise."

Hamm's Driver: "We'll leave the fillies now, and fetch some mutant toys from the quarry."

Hamm: "Mutant Toys?"

Narrator: "Snorted Hamm."

Hamm: "Mutant Toys? I won't, so there!"

Narrator: "Hamm was about to cause a great deal of trouble."

Hamm: "Told you."

Narrator: "Said Hamm.

By the time workmen came to rescue him, Hamm was feeling rather silly. To make matters worse, there stood Hoity Toity. His message to Hamm was brief and blunt."

Hoity Toity: "I shall talk to you later!"

Narrator: "Then he and the fireman left with Rex. Hamm felt sillier still."

Hamm's Driver: "Come on,"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Hamm's Driver: "Let's get you back onto the road."

Narrator: "When Hamm crawled home, he found Hoity Toity waiting for him."

Hoity Toity: "You're a very naughty piggy bank!

I hope I can trust you to behave when you next come out of this room."

Narrator: "After hearing that, I'm sure Hamm will. Aren't you?"

Slinky Helps Rex
Narrator: "Everyday, where the toys work, the crisp air is suddenly filled with a familiar noise. The lakes and mountains have many visitors, and Owlowiscious the Owl flies the sky making sure no one's in trouble."

Owlowiscious: "All present and correct. Time to return to home."

Narrator: "Then Owlowiscious noticed something. A slinky dog was coming round the mountain.

Owlowiscious flew lower for a closer inspection."

Owlowiscious: "I'm Owlowiscious. Who are you?"

Slinky: "I'm Slinky."

Narrator: "Replied the slinky dog."

Owlowiscious: "Don't recall seeing you before. What brings you this way?"

Slinky: "Hoity Toity sent me to help the other toys."

Narrator: "Huffed Slinky. This was no time for a chat with a owl."

Owlowiscious: "Well done! Cheers! And keep up the good work."

Slinky: "Cheeky feathers!"

Narrator: "Muttered Slinky."

Slinky's Driver: "Not long now."

Narrator: "Encouraged the driver."

Slinky's Driver: "We'll soon be at the top station."

Narrator: "Rex and Hamm were glad to see Slinky. Even so, Hamm wouldn't stop grumbling. The mutant toys didn't like Hamm and wanted to play tricks on him."

Chief Thunderhooves: "No one understands our feelings."

Narrator: "Sympathized Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Now if you were ill, you couldn't arrange mutant toys, could you?"

Hamm: "Good idea!"

Narrator: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "I'll try it."

Narrator: "He did so next morning."

Hamm: "I don't feel well at all."

Narrator: "He groaned. There wasn't time to examine him, so some of his mutant toys were lined up behind Rex's fillies.

Slinky promised to follow with the rest.

Rex didn't mind the extra work. He left his fillies at the station, and trundled cheerfully on.

Soon, they reached the quarry where the mutant toys were needed.

Empty mutant toys at the bottom of a slope are hitched to a cable. Loaded ones at the top are hitched to another. By their weight, loaded mutant toys run down the steep slope pulling the empty ones up.

Rex waited at the bottom of the slope for the loaded mutant toys. He never bumped mutant toys, unless they missed behaved.

But the loaded mutant toys couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Hamm. Their chance for trickery had come."

Loaded Mutant Toys: "Faster, faster!"

Narrator: "They yelled."

Empty Mutant Toys: "No, no!"

Narrator: "Wailed the empty mutant toys."

Empty Mutant Toys: "It's Rex!"

Narrator: "But it was no use!"

Loaded Mutant Toys: "Hurrah, hurrah!"

Narrator: "Roared the mutant toys. Rex shut his eyes."

(CRASH!)

Rex: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: Wailed Rex. Slinky was working nearby, and came to help clear up the mess."

Slinky: "Bust my paws!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Slinky."

Slinky: "Never mind, Rex. We'll get you out."

Narrator: "Rex felt battered. His head was creaked and his stomach dented."

Rex: "Thank you, Slinky."

Narrator: "He sighed, and limped slowly home."

Hamm: "I'm sorry about your accident."

Narrator: "Said Hamm."

Hamm: "I always stand well back. Mutant toys don't like me."

Rex: "Why didn't you warn me?"

Hamm: "I didn't think."

Hoity Toity: "You never do! You can start thinking now while you're doing Rex's work, as well as your own! That'll teach you to pretend you were ill."

Narrator: "Hamm did start thinking about Chief Thunderhooves.

When the wreckage was cleared away, Slinky set off along the road."

Owlowiscious: Splendid to see you again."

Narrator: "Whizzed Owlowiscious."

Owlowisicious: "I'm completing my evening look about."

Slinky: "Well done! Cheers! And keep up the good work."

Narrator: "And the slinky dog walked back home."

Slinky to the Rescue
Narrator: "In Springtime, Slinky loves to visit a faraway place. It's full of music. The air smells sweet and Slinky thinks there's no better place to be.

One day, Spike was passing by just as Slinky was having a drink."

Spike: "Good morning. Your driver looks as little worrid. I wonder why."

Slinky: "I don't know."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "But I soon will.

Excuse me,"

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "But is there something wrong?"

Slinky's Driver: "Yes indeed."

Narrator: "Replied the driver."

Slinky's Driver: "They need another pony to help run this special line."

Slinky: "A music pony."

Narrator: "Laughed Slinky."

Slinky: "Maybe I can find one."

Narrator: "Later, Slinky saw Hondo Flanks and Pipsqueak. Slinky had an idea."

Slinky: "Can you help me find another pony?"

Hondo Flanks: "Where?"

Slinky: "Where you found Dr. Whooves."

Hondo Flanks: "You mean in Tartarus?"

Slinky: "Yes. I'm looking for a music pony."

Narrator: "And Slinky explained everything."

Hondo Flanks: "I'd like to help, but these days it's only creatures that go there."

Narrator: "Then Slinky decided."

Slinky: "So that's where I'll go."

Hondo Flanks: "Take care."

Narrator: "Slinky told the driver all about the plan. And that night, he came back to the dock."

Slinky's Driver: "The manager says he'll make a home for a music pony if you find one."

Slinky: "Right."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We'll find one tomorrow."

Narrator: "It took them all of the next day to travel to Tartarus.

Darkness fell and the cold wind blew."

Slinky: "Oh, what's that?"

Narrator: "But it was only the sounds of the lonely scrapyards. Creatures silent and still lined up and guard."

Creatures: "Who are you?"

Narrator: "Slinky plucked up courage."

Slinky: "I'm a sheds and sidings inspection toy. Have you any ponies in the sheds?"

Creatures: "No. None."

Narrator: "Slinky rallied again."

Slinky: "Then what the sidings?"

Creatures: "One. We have one."

Narrator: "Slinky grew braver still."

Slinky: "Then I'll just go an inspect."

Narrator: "A blue pony with a music note cutie mark stood sad and alone in the shadowy sidings. His driver was next to him keeping him company."

Slinky: "Excuse me?"

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "Do you like music?"

Narrator: "The pony looked startled."

Noteworthy: "Yes. Music is beautiful."

Slinky: "Then you're soon going to hear lots of it because I'm getting you out of here."

Narrator: "Everyone worked fast. It was difficult to get his body warmed up, but soon it was warm and Noteworthy had plenty of energy. Slinky's engineer agreed to be Noteworthy's fireman.

So fall they set, past the bleak and booming lines creatures."

Creatures: "Where is he going?"

Narrator: "They hissed."

Slinky: "Just down the path."

Narrator: "Said Slinky. And the chuffered quickly away."

Slinky: "We've done it."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We're over the border and back in our own town. Mission accomplished."

Narrator: "When Slinky and the pony arrived back in the valley, a big welcome awaited them."

Manager: "We shall heal you and give a new coat."

Narrator: "Said the manager. His driver was delighted."

Noteworthy's Driver: "You lucky old pony. You've been saved by the music land."

Noteworthy: "And my friend, Slinky. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for OJ."

Narrator: "Now the blue pony is as happy as can be and helps the passengers and visit at music time. His name is Noteworthy, but everyone calls him the music pony."

Spike and Noteworthy
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon was feeling very happy. His scales shone in the sun, he was right on time, and all around his route the countryside seemed prettier than ever before."

Spike: "Good morning, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "He whistled."

Spike: "My route is the pride of Ponyville. Wouldn't you agree?"

Pipsqueak: "Uh, yes Spike, of course, But uh,"

Spike: "But what Pipsqueak? Out with it!"

Pipsqueak: "Well, there is a pony with a famous route too?"

Spike: "Who? Where?"

Pipsqueak: "His name is Noteworthy. He's faraway, but Hoity Toity says he might visit us."

Spike: "When?"

Pipsqueak: "Oh, someday."

Narrator: "And Pipsqueak hurried away.

Meanwhile Noteworthy was walking steadily along his route. It isn't very long, and that made him feel a little sad. Later he saw Slinky, the slinky dog who had helped saved Noteworthy from death."

Noteworthy: "Everyone's been so kind. But my route is so short and I do miss a good long rung."

Slinky: "I think you should tell driver too."

Narrator: "Replied Slinky."

Slinky: "I'm sure he'll understand."

Narrator: "Noteworthy soon discovered that indeed he did."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Do you know, Noteworthy? I feel just the same way."

Narrator: "That evening, he had exciting news."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Just what Noteworthy? Hoity Toity has invited us to visit the other animals in Ponyville. Manager agreed. But it'll be a really long run to get there."

Noteworthy: "Oh, thank you."

Narrator: "Sighed Noteworthy. They set off next morning.

But now, all the other animals were talking about Noteworthy."

Pipsqueak: "He runs a famous route. Did you know that?"

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak. Spike was feeling a little jealous."

Spike: "Huh! It may be famous, but my route is the first in town. Everyone knows that too."

Narrator: "And he huffed away to fetch his cutie mark crusaders."

Pipsqueak: "Look!"

Narrator: "Squeaked Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Why have they all come? There's no pony yet."

Narrator: "But Pipsqueak was wrong. The signal dropped, and from faraway a pony whistled."

Hondo Flanks: "Here he comes."

Narrator: "Yelled Hondo Flanks.

Noteworthy walked proudly through the junction."

Shining Armor: "I hope you meet Spike too."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "You both have routes to be proud of."

Narrator: "Then Noteworthy set off to help Soarin move buffaloes in the yard, and they worked happily together all afternoon.

At last, Spike arrived."

Spike: "Sorry, can't talk. It's time for my last delivery. Mustn't be late."

Narrator: "He was hardly out of sight when the ponies heard shouting at the station. Moments later came the alarm."

Passengers: "Stop all animals!"

Narrator: "The signalman answered the telephone."

Signalman: "A special is it? I see."

Narrator: "Spike was impatient."

Spike: "Why are we waiting? My passengers are being delayed."

Spike's Driver: "Sorry, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "We're being shunted to allow another pony to pass."

Narrator: "Soon they heard an unfamiliar sound. There was Noteworthy with his headlamp swang and whistle blowing. He gathered speed and disappeared."

Spike: "Well bust my scales!"

Narrator: "Said Spike the Dragon.

Next morning, he was still fuming."

Spike: "Shunted! And on my own route too! It's a disgrace!"

Noteworthy: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Said Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "I was a special."

Spike: "Why?"

Noteworthy: "An important passenger arrived just as you left. He ordered a special load and Soarin let me take it.

We had a splendid run, but uh..."

Spike: "But,"

Narrator: "Finished Spike."

Spike: "It can make an animal nervous not to know the route."

Noteworthy: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Said Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "You're such an expert."

Narrator: "Spike felt much better. He couldn't be cross anymore and began telling Noteworthy all about his route."
