//------------------------------// // The Call and Help is On The Way // Story: Bob The Builder: A Train a Fixin // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// It was a bright sunny day in a place called Bobsville. Here was the home of the handyest man around: Bob the Builder. We zoom inside one of the houses and we see a man in a construction outfit and resting on the couch watching some TV. He was Bob the Builder. "Whew! What an amazing train show. I better see what the gang is up to today. I think they are doing something fun today." Bob said as he turned off he TV and walked out the door. Outside we see six machines moving and grooving like trains. They were making train sounds and having a great time. Then they saw Bob come out of the door and smiled. "Morning team. What are you all doing?" Bob asked. "We were pretending to be like trains. It's really fun. But anyways what are we doing today?" Scoop answered. "I'm not sure. But this game sound absolutely fun and......" Bob said but then heard his phone go off. "Oh excuse me guys I gotta take this." Bob took out his phone and answered the call. "Hello. Bob's Building Yard." Bob started. He heard another voice on the other line and listened to everything it said. "What's that? The train station is destroyed? And it needs fixing? Well no worries ma'am we'll be right over." Bob finished as he hung up. "Who was that Bob?" Dizzy asked. "That was a woman named Principal Celestia. She said that one of the train stations is completely destroyed and needs fixing." Bob answered. "Oh. Well we can sure fix that." Muck assured. "I'm sure we will. But I think I better give Travis a call so that way we extra help." Bob said. He took out his phone and called Farmer Pickles to see if Travis is available to help the crew. And sure enough a turquoise tractor arrived. He was Travis. Now Travis is generally mature and smart. He always has a quick-witted comment to give. He's very caring to others and is very headstrong and hardworking. He is both very busy and very helpful. Sometimes Travis can be sort of insecure, such as when he thinks he cannot use his plough blade to dig across the field. He smiled at Bob and prepared to hear today's assignment. "Hi Bob. I hear that a train station needs repairing. Well I can sure help you." Travis said. "That great Travis. We'll need all the help we can get. Alright team! Let's get going!" Bob replied. "Can we fix it?" Scoop asked. "YES WE CAN!!!" Everyone said in unison. "Um. Yeah. I think so." Lofty said. And soon Bob hopped on Scoop and they began making their way to the location where Celestia said on the phone. And the others were following behind. At the wrecked train station we see the Mane Seven and Celestia waiting for Bob and his crew to arrive. Then after five minutes they see him and his crew coming in their direction. They smiled seeing that help has arrived and stood up seeing them. Then they stopped in front of them and Bob hopped off Scoop. "Hello. You must be Bob the Builder I called." Celestia said. "Yes. Bob's the name and building's my game." Bob answered. "Were glad you're here. We really need your help. The train station is seriously damaged and we hope you and your crew can fix it. Hey where is your crew?" Sunset asked. "Not to worry. They are right here! Meet Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Lofty, Roley, Benny and Travis." Bob introduced. "Hi there." They all said in unison. "Ahh! Those machines can talk?! I thought that there was people coming!" Fluttershy said scared. "Hey don't worry. We ain't gonna hurt you. We just came here cause were Bob's team. Now about this train station?" Lofty said. "Oh right. Well it's right there. Or used to be right there." Celestia pointed out. Bob and the crew saw all the damage that the station has taken and Bob was in shock seeing this. "Oh my goodness. Yeah this station is in really bad shape. How did it get so badly damaged?" Bob asked. "Well a storm last night came and wrecked it. And now without it the trains won't stop and all the passengers won't get to where they want to go for vacation. Do you think that you and your crew can fix it?" Celestia wondered. "No worries. We'll have it fixed in no time!" Bob replied. "Thank you Bob. We'll be going to Sunset's house for a little hangout. We'll be checking on you through the phone. You'll let us know when it's all fixed?" Twilight hoped. "Of course. I will be sure to give you a call when the station is all fixed." Bob smiled. "Thank you Bob." Twilight said as she and her friends left til all that remained is Bob and his crew. They all looked at the train station and sure enough the machines cannot deny that the station is in really bad shape. "That storm must have been a strong one if it destroyed the station like this. How are we gonna fix this?" Travis asked. "Well we need to figure where to start and then once we do we'll rebuild it that way." Bob answered. So they began to think where they need to start on rebuilding the station and go from there. But one way or another they will fix the train station.
