Do Your Best
Lady was once an engine on the magic railway. Unfortunately, her original owner Burnett Stone passed away, but now she works on Sir Tophamm Hat's railway.
One day Emily broke down, and Sir Tophamm Hat needed another engine to take over. Adam, Lady, and Brenna were the only engines available.
Sir Tophamm Hat: Which one of you three would like to pull Emily's coaches until Emily comes back?
Adam: I'm sorry sir, but I'm busy with a lot of freight trains. You said I had to get them from Brendam Docks to the Scientific Research Facility.
Sir Tophamm Hat: That's true, I did say that. How about you Brenna?
Brenna: Yesterday, I promised Rosie I would help her with one of her trains.
Sir Tophamm Hat: Oh. Well you can't break a promise I suppose. Can you do it Lady?
Lady: I'll try sir.
Sir Tophamm Hat: That's a good engine. Emily's coaches are waiting for you at the station on Thomas' branchline.
Lady: I'll get there right away. *Leaves Tidmouth Sheds*
Lady quickly arrived at the station on Thomas' branchline. As she collected the coaches, Thomas just arrived with Annie, and Clarabel.
Thomas: Hello Lady. What are you doing today?
Lady: I am taking over for Emily while she gets repaired.
Thomas: Excellent. Have fun. *Pulls Annie, and Clarabel*
Lady: *Patiently waits at the station*
Passengers: *Getting on board*
Conductor: *Blows his whistle while waving his green flag*
Lady: *Blows her whistle twice*
Lady pulled, but her wheels slipped. She tried three more times, but her wheels still slipped. At last, she pulled the coaches out of the station.
Lady: Fizzling fireboxes. This will be tougher then I thought.
When Lady stopped at the next station, she saw Gordon.
Gordon: What are you doing?
Lady: I'm pulling Emily's coaches. She's being repaired, and I'm taking over for her.
Gordon: Those coaches look much too heavy for you.
Lady: Nonsense. I can manage. I made it this far.
She heard the conductor blow his whistle, and wave his green flag, and tried pulling the train. It was heavy, and her wheels slipped, but she managed to pull out of the station.
Gordon: I told you it was heavy. It's a miracle you're even pulling that train.
Lady: *Ignores Gordon, and continues pulling the train*
At the next station, she met James.
Lady: *Panting as she rests at the station*
James: You look tired.
Lady: I've been pulling Emily's coaches for her. She's being repaired, and I'm taking over for her.
James: You don't seem to be doing a good job at it.
Lady: Watch me.
Conductor: *Blows his whistle, and waves his green flag*
Lady: *Her wheels slip as she pulls the train*
James: You're having trouble already. You might as well give up.
Lady: *Annoyed*
At the next station, Lady saw Rosie, and Brenna refueling.
Lady: *Stops next to Rosie, and Brenna* How are you two doing?
Rosie: Fine.
Brenna: Yourself?
Lady: Not too good. Gordon, and James don't think I can manage.
Rosie: You seem to be doing good.
Brenna: If someone tells you that you're not doing good, ignore them, and do your best.
Lady: I will.
Conductor: *Blows his whistle, and waves his green flag*
Lady: *Pulls her train out of the station. Her wheels slip just as soon as she gets out of the station*
Rosie: That's okay, you're doing great.
Lady: *Smiles, and continues pulling her train*
At Gordon's hill, Lady saw Henry passing by.
Henry: You'll never get those coaches up the hill!
Lady: Oh yes I will.
Lady's wheels slipped. The harder she pulled, the faster she slipped. She was just getting to the top when suddenly.
Lady: *Feels the coaches dragging her backwards, and pulls her hardest* I have to go up the hill! *Puts her brakes on, and stops pulling her train*
Lady stalled, but she had a plan. If she could raise her steam pressure up to a higher level, she would have more power to get up the hill.
Lady: Let's do this. *Pulls her train up the hill*
Lady's wheels were slipping fiercely. She never felt her wheels move this fast at all. Then finally, she made it.
Lady: *Goes over the hill* I made it.
Sir Tophamm Hat was waiting at the next station to congratulate her.
Lady: *Stops at the station*
Sir Tophamm Hat: Well done Lady. Despite Gordon, Henry, and James insulting you, you were able to pull the heavy coaches all the way over here.
Lady: Thanks a lot Sir.
Sir Tophamm Hat: Emily will be back tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about pulling her train any longer.
The next day, Emily returned, and heard about the wonderful job Lady did taking over for her.
Emily: I'm glad to have a friend like you.
Lady: I'm glad to be your friend. It just goes to show, if you want to accomplish something difficult, do your best.
