Engine Driver Bonding

Emily and Ellie

Emily the Stirling Engine is a beautiful, friendly, very lovable engine on Sodor, especially on the Steam Team. She was like the mother or sister of the group as she would always keep her friends calm and support them whenever they were in a situation. She had a great adventurous boyfriend in Thomas who would be by her side every day, but who she also had by her side every day was her fantastic driver Ellie.

Ellie was just as beautiful, friendly, and lovable as Emily. She would also be a sister figure to her bandmates and be able to calm a friend down, hence giving her the nickname the Calmer. She was also Tyler's girlfriend, who coincidentally was Thomas's driver who is dating Emily, how convenient. Emily and Ellie had by far the closest bond out of all the pairs on the Steam Team.

The two never at all have had arguments or fights, the two were the closest of friends you could think of. The two adored each other very much. Ellie was especially in love with Emily's new design as well.

Today, Emily and Ellie were both lucky to have a day off together, and they never really get that. Emily was having a nice nap in her berth, but Ellie wanted her to get some fresh air, and she also had a surprise for her.

Ellie walked up to her engine sleeping, and just had to look at her adorable sleeping face.

" Oh Emily, you look so sweet. " - Ellie

When she said that, Emily started to wake up and see her driver right there.

" Hi there Ellie. " - Emily

" How are you doing? " - Ellie

" I had a nice nap. " - Emily

" That's good. I do have a surprise. " - Ellie

" Really? Tell me. " - Emily

" Earlier at Knapford I talked to this guy who was a photographer, and he thought i looked very pretty. " - Ellie

" Well, he's not lying. " - Emily

" Yeah, well then he asked me if I wanted to have a picture of me for a magazine. And I said, yes. " - Ellie

" That's great Ellie, will many people see you? " - Emily

" I'm pretty sure, magazines can be seen from around the world. But also, I asked him if I could have a friend with me in the picture, and so, I chose you. " - Ellie

Emily blushed in excitement and also embarrassment.

" You want me to be in the picture with you? " - Emily

" Yes. I think it would look amazing........what's wrong? " - Ellie

She noticed Emily had a worried look on her face.

" The picture isn't happening now right? " - Emily

" No, a little later today. What's the problem? " - Ellie

" I don't know if I can do it. I've had my picture taken before, but this one being seen by people around the world. " - Emily

" Oh sweetie it'll be totally fine. It'll just be a regular picture. And I know you'll look fantastic and beautiful, especially with your new look. " - Ellie

Emily was very touched by Ellie's words, but she was still nervous.

" OK. I'll do it. " - Emily

" That's my girl. " - Ellie

" But I'll need to fix myself up a bit before i do it. " - Emily

" What do you mean? " - Ellie

" I should get a wash, then maybe a repaint, and maybe they could add some decorations on me at the steamworks. " - Emily
