Always known as the Class Clown of Canterlot High, Jokesterrap has been thought of as one who rarely acts responsible. All of that will change when for his birthday, he receives a steam engine that once belonged to his grandfather. Now determined to prove himself, Jokesterrap sets out to fix and protect this little engine. But will he be able to keep his promise? And can he keep her safe from a nosy Trixie?

Based on the Thomas and Friends movie Hero of the Rails.

Before I say anything, I found some typos,

Prolouge: The Tale of a Steam Engine

You spelt Prologue wrong. Switch the "u" and the "g".

"You watch where <i>you're</i> going," said Jokesterrap.

The arrows should be [ ] and [/ ].

"Did you find Gladstone?"

"That's great news, son," said Tinker. He felt proud of Jokesterrap.

"I did."

The dialogue's in the wrong places, switch the two I highlighted.

Now my thoughts, this is definitely a good start to your story, I'm really impressed :twilightsmile: Can't wait to see more

Also, after seeing Trixie's last line of dialogue, does anyone else get the feeling that something really bad is about to happen?

5141413 Thanks for pointing out those goofs. I'll fix them.

Found a typo,

"If that's the case," said Rainbow Dash, "we'll <i>make</i> him listen to us."

To make the italics, replace the arrows with, "[ ]" and "[ / ]". Or just click the Italic icon on the top of the page.

It's only a matter of time before Trixie catches on to him, who knows what she'll do if she finds out about Gladstone?

5194618 Thanks. And as for Trixie, who knows?

5194618 Thanks. And as for Trixie, who knows?

5194643 You're welcome, and guess I'll have to read and find out :twilightsmile:

Found a typo,

"Getting piggy</i> with it, Trixie?" snickered Drum Role.

The arrows should be, [ ]

That was pretty funny with Trixie, looks karma really bit her in the butt! :twilightsmile:

Uh....I'm not sure who to root for here.

5278807 I see. Well, do you think she'll find out what's going on?

5279913 If the others don't stop baiting her.

And having the entire school mocking her doesn't help matters.

I knew Trixie would try to ruin him somehow....:facehoof:

5289724 Yeah. She won't get away with it, though.

"Don't talk like that," said Vincent. He didn't like how upset his friend was. "It wasn't your fault this happened. It was Trixie's fault for being nosy."

Actually, it's technically Jokesterrap's fault. First and foremost, he kinda started all this. And what was stopping him from simply confronting Trixie, rather than risk damaging his engine.

5289724 After what happened to her in the last chapter, who wouldn't want payback?

5289955 Since when would you know Trixie to listen to him anyway. Besides, she deserved that prank for being so cocky.

5290015

Since when would you know Trixie to listen to him anyway.

Since she had reasons to be suspicious of him, and kept asking him what was going on since the beginning. Other than explaining why he can't tell her, he simply blew her off mockingly, basically encouraging her to find out for herself.

Besides, she deserved that prank for being so cocky.

Since when was being cocky such a crime?

5290187 Well, it was none of her business in the first place. She should have left it at that.

5290281 Accidentally deleted my last post. Other than that, not a bad read.

5290287 Thank you. So, think Trixie's gonna get away with this?

5290293 You answered your own question in a previous post.

I still feel, you're being too hard on Trixie.

Granted, trying to destroy a steam engine and make a profit might have been a bit excessive (though I wondered how was she going to accomplish that.) But I didn't like that Jokesterrap gother off scott free.

5307513 I see. Don't worry. I'll have him apologize to her soon.

Not bad! At least Jokesterrap doesn't have to worry about Trixie anymore :twilightsmile:

By the way, I found a couple typos,

"After being informed about what had been going on recently, she said,

The quotation at the end is a little too far to the right.

"As long as it is alright with Jokesterrap since Gladstone is <i>his</i> engine."

The Italic codes are supposed to be, [ i ] and [ / i ]. (Sorry, this must be pretty annoying)

5307651 Thanks for pointing out my goofs.

5307601 Of course, Trixie would have to apologize as well. It'll be nice if they shared a momental together.

This was a great story, great job :twilightsmile::pinkiehappy::yay::scootangel:

I found some typos,

Well, I'd better take the money over to the works. If you want, tell whoever you can find that Harmony is ready to ride the rails again."

I'll have to hold her back."

It's our busiest time of the year. So she won't get much work until then. But would you be interested in being her driver?"

A quotation is missing at the beginning of each one.

"Alright," said Jokesterrap. "Harmony can join your heritage railway. Just as long as I remain her owner and that me and my friends can visint her whenever we feel like it. And you had better see to it that she is treated with care or else."

Take out the "n".

"Understandable," said the first gentleman. "We've heard about ihs grandfather, afterall."

The first should be "his" and the second, "afterall" should be two separate words.

5367825 You're welcome, and I figured I would annoy you with typos, sorry if I did

Noticed a few typos:

"How dare you accuse the Great and Powerful Trixie of a crime she did not commit!" snapped Trixie. "Besides, what makes you think <i>I</i> did it and not someone else?"

"If you were here," said Rarity, "then who do <i>you</i> think broke into Applejack's room?"

The "<" and ">" should be "[" "]"

5704424 You're welcome, just wanted to reread this :twilightsmile:

When I read this story I get a warm feeling in my chest.... :pinkiesmile:

Bravo, I say! Bravo! :raritystarry:

10/10

*stands and claps*

This deserves a sequel :pinkiehappy:
