Episode 20: A Bad Joke

Mr. Baldwin hired a new engine to help out with the extra trains on his railway. He introduced the new engine to everyone else at the Eastern Pacific at the engine sheds.

Mr. Baldwin: Everyone, meet Ian. He is going to help us with the extra trains we are receiving.
Engines: Hello Ian.
Ian: Hi. Mr. Baldwin, how many engines are on this railway?
Mr. Baldwin: Fifteen, including tu which makes it sixteen now.
Ian: Fifteen engines. Oh boy.
Mr. Baldwin: tu seem to be a little nervous.
Ian: Well it is my first día on this railway sir.
Mr. Baldwin: Understandable. There are three empty berths. Go ahead, and choose whichever one tu want.

Ian saw an empty berth between Sean, and Nikki. He decided to choose that one.

Mr. Baldwin: Now that we've introduced ourselves, and Ian now chose his spot in the sheds, I'll get your assignments for you.
Shayne: hola Ian, do tu like jokes?
Ian: Sure.
Shayne: Okay, here's a good one. Why did the car cruzar, cruz the Railroad?
Ian: To get to the other side. *Smiles* Good one.
Sean: Do tu know any good jokes?
Ian: Oh, not really. Why?
Sean: Just curious. We like telling jokes to each other, as long as they don't hurt others feelings.
Victoria: I got one. What do British people like to eat for breakfast?
Ian: I don't know.
Victoria: Cheerios.
Engines: *Laughing*
Mr. Baldwin: Okay everyone, here are your assignments. Sean, Ian, and Victoria, take passenger trains into Impala Station. Once tu reach there, head up to Middlesex station, and stop at each station along the way.
Sean: Right sir. *Goes with Ian, and Victoria to collect passenger trains*

As the three engines went on their way to the yards, Victoria, and Sean thought of a way to pull a prank on Ian.

Sean: *Lightly blows his horn*
Ian: Was that you?
Sean: No, that was someone else far away, but this one is from me. *Blows horn loudly*
Ian: AH!
Sean: *Laughs* Did tu like that?
Ian: *Nervously laughs* Yeah.
Victoria: That was great.

However, Ian felt abused when Sean pulled that prank on him. On another railway that Ian previously worked on before coming to the Island Of Errol, the other engines would tease him rudely, and make fun of him constantly. He didn't want to tell Sean, and Victoria this, because he felt like they would also make fun of him.

As the engines collected their passenger trains, Ian had to stop at Weever station, while Sean, and Victoria were told to stop at Cadillac.

Ian: *In Weever Station*
Tabby: *Passing Ian from Impala Station* To your left, an alien!
Ian: Where? *Looks around, but doesn't see one*
Tabby: *Laughs while blowing her whistle*
Ian: *Angry* that's it. if these engines want pranks, and jokes, I'll give them a good one.
Conductor: All aboard.
Ian: *Pulls his train*

At Impala Station, Ian had to wait. Jazlin was requested por Mr. Baldwin to help out with some of the passenger trains on his line, and she was más then happy to help in any way she could.

Ian: Why am I waiting?
Station Master: tu will be double heading with another engine to pull a heavy passenger train into Middlesex station.
Ian: Yes sir.

Since Ian was new on the island, he didn't know anything about anyone. He thought Jazlin would try to pull a prank on him, so he decided to try, and beat her to it. He didn't know that Jazlin was a cheerful engine, and never played pranks on anyone.

Jazlin: *Arrives at Impala Station with a passenger train* Hi. I'm gonna be double heading with you.
Ian: Okay. While tu turn around on the turntable, I'm gonna get our train set up.
Jazlin: Okay. *Uncouples from her train, and goes to a turntable*
Ian: She seems kind. Then again, she maybe pretending to act like this to fool me.

Ian was not taking any chances. He watched as the passengers got out of Jazlin's coaches so he could use them for their train. Once they were empty, he quickly coupled up to them, and took them to the platform for his passengers to board on.

Ian: Now she has to be the front engine. This'll be perfect for my plan to prank her.
Jazlin: *Slowly passing Ian* I guess I'm the front engine. *Giggles*
Ian: Oh yes tu are.

Once Jazlin got onto Ian's track, she slowly backed up, and coupled up to him.

Conductor: All aboard!
Jazlin: Here we go. *Blows her whistle twice, and pulls the train*
Ian: *Doing nothing*
Jazlin: Ian, are tu helping?
Ian: Oh yeah, but tu know, this train is heavy. *Puts on his brakes*
Jazlin: *Feels the train stop, as she pulls hard. Her wheels slip fiercely*

This was the prank Ian was pulling on Jazlin. He would keep his brakes on so that she wouldn't be able to pull the train.

Jazlin: *Her wheels continue to slip as she tries to pull the train* Ian, I think your brakes are on.
Ian: What me? No way.
Jazlin: You're lying. Oh well, I'll just have to pull you, and the train.
Ian: Good luck.

Jazlin kept trying to pull the train, but her wheels kept slipping. The fuego in her firebox was getting intense, and she was running dangerously low on water.

Jazlin: Ian, please help. If I don't get any water soon, my boiler might explode.
Ian: Yeah, right.
Jazlin: *Tries to pull the train again, but her wheels continue slipping, and she runs out of water* I need water!
Ian: Just because I'm pulling a prank on you, doesn't mean tu have to pull a prank on me.
Jazlin: It's not a prank! I need water!!
Sean: *Stops near Jazlin* Is everything okay?
Jazlin: I need water, quickly!!

Sean wasted no time. He got a tank car full of water, and workmen put the water in Jazlin's tender.

Jazlin: Oh, thanks. tu saved my life. My boiler might have exploded if my fuego got too hot.
Sean: No problem. Didn't tu have any water when tu left the station?
Jazlin: Yeah, but Ian had his brakes on, and pulled a prank on me. *Feeling sad, so she closes her eyes, and frowns* He hurt my feelings.
Ian: Uh oh.
Sean: Ian, that's my girlfriend tu just hurt. Why would tu do that?
Ian: Hey, tu pulled pranks on me, alright? I thought that's what everyone does around here.
Sean: We don't do that if it hurts their feelings.
Ian: Yeah, well tu hurt my feelings with the prank tu pulled on me when we were collecting our trains.
Sean: Why didn't tu say something?
Ian: I thought tu would make fun of me. I used to work on a railway where all of the engines would pull pranks on me that weren't nice. Not just the ones that I pulled on Jazlin, but pranks much worse than that.
Sean: I don't wanna know about it. I can assure you, that we only tell jokes, and pull pranks on others, as long as they don't hurt their feelings. If tu don't want us pulling pranks on you, then we won't do it.
Ian: Thanks.

Now Ian was glad he was on the Island of Errol, because he didn't have to worry about anyone pulling rude pranks on him ever again.
