Snowflakes and Snowploughs/Transcript

(Thomas puffs into view, chuffing very fast towards Gordon's hill)

Thomas: Whoo-hoo! (Echoes)

(The camera freezes, turns around Thomas, and it starts again. Thomas lands on the tracks again round a corner)

Thomas: What's white and fluffy and looks like powder? Snow, of course. Me and Pingu love snow. But... somebody has never seen snow before. You'll see who it is. (Toot toot) All aboard for a big adventure.

Thomas: (narrating) Snowflakes and Snowploughs.

(Pingu is seen at the crack of dawn trying to dodge Robby's snowballs. He then gets hit in the face with one)

(Robby giggles)

(Pingu glares at him. He then makes more snowballs and laughs, but Robby sometimes gets hit and sometimes dodges. Marlin, Nemo and Dory watch them)

Dory: Wow. They're good at snowball fights.

Marlin: Yup.

Nemo: They're expert snowball fighters.

(The scene cuts inside of Thomas and Ashima's births. Thomas looks out of the shed window)

Thomas: Wow. Pingu and Robby are good at snowball fighting.

(A snowball hits Thomas's shed window. His eyes widen. The scene cuts to the outside. Pingu is about to throw a snowball when...)

Thomas: (in a muffled voice) Pingu? Watch where your putting the snowballs!

Pingu: Ohh. (He lowers his expression) (He glares) Noot noot!

(The scene cuts to inside of Thomas and Ashima's births)

Thomas: Ugh. They have to be careful. (He rolls his eyes and then looks at Ashima)

Ashima: Thomas? I have a question for you.

Thomas: Is it about the snow outside?

Ashima: Umm, Yes, is that what you call the white powder outside?

Thomas: Yes it is, you silly engine." replied Thomas playfully. Ashima glanced over at her lover. Ashima: Thomas, I know all about your troubles in the snow, Annie and Clarabelle told me once when I was pulling them." replied Ashima teasingly. Thomas rolled his eyes, while thinking CAN anyone forget about that whole thing. Thomas: Ashima, snow can be extremely dangerous to an engine, example of such, is what happened to me." replied Thomas wisely. Ashima listened carefully to Thomas, for he was usually correct on things like this. This was one of the reasons why she loved him so much.

Ashima: Very true Thomas, last thing I want to have happen is to end up like you or Po did.

Thomas: Ashima, one downside to snow is you have to wear snowplows, I'm guessing you have seen mine."

Ashima: Thomas, one other bad thing about the snowplows are, I won't be able to kiss you until their off.

(Thomas's expression sighs because Ashima was right)

Ashima Thanks for telling me what snow is Thomas.

Thomas: Your welcome milady.

Ashima: Goodnight Thomas. (Yawns)

Thomas: Goodnight my love, sweet dreams. (His eyes close)

(The scene fades to morning with the snow slowly falling. Dory tries to catch a snowflake with her tongue. She does so and the snowflake still on her tongue darts into her mouth)

Dory: Bleh! That's minging.

Marlin: Dory, what are you doing?

Dory: Trying to catch snowflakes.

Nemo: Ew.

(Dory looks up and sees Thomas with his eyes widen)

Thomas: Did you just eat snow, Dory?

Dory: Um...?

Marlin: Yes, Thomas. She did.

Thomas: Ew. That's just gross.

Ashima: What's gross?

Thomas: Dory eating snow.

Ashima: (giggles) Dory. Why would you eat snow?

Dory: Because I'm a risk taker.

(A horn honks)

(Po zooms past on her scooter)

Thomas: Be careful in the snow, Po!

Ashima: You don't wanna end up like Thomas did!

Po: Pardon?

The other Teletubbies: Be careful, Po!

(Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa chase after Po)

Thomas: Ashima, ready to go out into the snow.

Ashima: I am SO excited to go out into the snow for the first time!"

Thomas: That's very good to hear, You are going to look even more beautiful out in the snow!" Said Thomas with a wink.

Ashima: Well, aren't you the gentleman, you handsome little engine.

(Ashima purred while blushing. Thomas's face blushed a dark red when she said this. The two just remained silent and stared lovingly into each other's eyes until their drivers and firemen arrived and fired up the two steam engines)

Thomas: Ashima, ready to start the day?

Ashima: As long as I am with you!

Marlin: Have fun, you two!

Ashima: Thomas, is-is it always this beautiful this time of year? (She was beginning to cry with happiness)

Thomas: Yes it is Ashima, always is, during this time of the year.

(The scene fades to Thomas and Ashima puffing along the mainline on a clean track)

Ashima: Thomas? Do you think winter to be a romantic time of the year?

Thomas: Yes I do think Winter is a romantic time of year, Why do you ask?

Ashima: Well, umm---You got me there Thomas, I think you look so handsome and cute in the snow.

Thomas: Well, The snow makes you look even more beautiful. I love you Ashima."

Ashima: (Chuckles) I love you too Thomas, I just hope we can work more often together, Even though we are together very often. I just don't want these good times to end.

Thomas: I have something to tell you later about that Ashima. DON'T worry. It is nothing to be worried about.

(Ashima was worried about what Thomas's last response meant for her. Before she could say anything else, a snowball hits her)

Ashima: What was that?

Thomas: Oh. (Giggles) What have I told you about those snowballs, Pingu?

(Pingu laughs)

(After that, they arrived at the Sodor Steamworks. The two engines puffed inside and Victor and Kevin were waiting for the two)

Thomas: Hello Victor and Kevin!

Victor: Hello, Thomas.

Kevin: Hi, Thomas! Whoa! (He loses control and crashes)

Victor: Kevin.

Kevin: Sorry, boss.

(Victor looks over at Ashima and was confused, he knew that they were getting a new engine, was this her?) Victor: Thomas? Who is this female engine? I didn't know we had company on the island.

Thomas: Victor and Kevin, Meet Ashima, The most beautiful engine on the island.

Victor: It is a pleasure to meet you Ashima, I heard that you *ahem* won the shunting competition.

Thomas: Yes, she did win legitimately, Victor, now about the snowplows?

Victor: "Oh, Yes the snowplows, follow me." Victor said in his Cuban accent. Thomas and Ashima followed him. Victor blew his whistle when the two stopped and workman came over and began measuring the two engines. Ashima was measured first, then Thomas was.

Thomas: Victor, are the snowplows smaller this time around?

Victor: Yes they are Thomas, Who wants their snowplow to be put on first?" Asked Victor.

Ashima: I will Victor, if you don't mind Thomas?

Thomas: Not at all Ashima, go right ahead.

Victor: That's settled then, Ashima go under the crane then.

(Ashima rolled underneath the crane. The crane arm moved out of Ashima's sight and came back with a small, metallic purple snow plow with some of her beautiful artwork on it. Ashima was in shock)

Ashima:"Victor? Was mine custom made? It doesn't look like any of the other engine's snowplows.

Victor: Well, Ashima, a certain *ahem* Blue tank engine requested that it be made special for you.

(Ashima's cheeks burned red and she looked right at Thomas's eyes. The message she sent to him was, your going to have a lot of fun tonight)

Ashima: THANK YOU THOMAS!

(Ashima said trying not to just push Thomas into an isolated shed and kiss him forever. Thomas didn't want to be smothered by her kisses, he did enjoy them, but he wanted to be able to breath)

Thomas: You're welcome Ashima, consider it an early Christmas Present."

(Ashima waited happily as the snowplow was put on and with a clang, it was securely on her front buffer beam)

Victor: Now it is your turn Thomas, move over to the spot where Ashima was.

(Thomas moved over to the spot under the crane and waited as a brand new snowplow was lowered onto him, it was much smaller than his old one and he was glad for that. He waited for it to be bolted on and after it was, prepared to leave for the branchline)

Thomas: Thanks Victor and Kevin!

Ashima: Nice meeting you two!"

(Victor blew his whistle as a goodbye and watched the couple leave the Steamworks)

(After a while the two engines arrived back on Thomas's Branchline with their new snowplows on. Sir Tophamn Hatt was waiting for them as they pulled up to him)

The Fat Controller: There you two are, Right on time! I see the plows fit you perfectly. And you have to tell something important to your Um... penguin and telly friends.

Thomas: Yes I do sir. Pingu, Teletubbies... (Pingu, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po come in-between the Tank Engines) You can stay on Sodor with me and Ashima on Sodor and you can have a cosy shed next to me!

(Pingu and the Teletubbies are in awe)

Thomas: Guys? Are you alright?

Po: Big hug!

(The Teletubbies giggle)

Teletubbies: Big hug!

Ashima: Looks like you've made some people happy.

(The two engines puffed into the sheds with their snowplows perched next to them)

Dory: Thomas? Oh, there you are.

Marlin: Wow. That snowplough that Ashima has is amazing.

Nemo: It looks so beautiful.

Ashima: Thanks, Nemo. Oh. I just can't thank you enough for the snowplow, Thomas.

Thomas: Well... I...

Ashima: You know what is better than this?

Thomas: (He rolls his eyes) Let me guess. Kissi....

(Ashima cut him off by kissing him directly on the lips in front of Pingu and Robby, whom decided it was best to leave the two lovers alone and walked away leaving Pingu and the Teletubbies on their own. Thomas and Ashima continued this show of love and passion long into the night and fell happily asleep in each other's hold)
