The Twins' Race

The Twins' Race is a new story.

Synposis
Fed up of Donald and Douglas' constant arguing, James decides to have them compete in a race with him whilst helping deliver the Flying Kipper when Henry is at the Steamworks for maintenance. To make it interesting, he says that if they both lose to him, they have to stop their arguing for good. But will it work? And will they get away with it?

Script:
James: Very well. I k

Douglas: Well, uhh, I'm not sure the Fat Controller will approve.

Donald: You're not wrong there, Dougie.

James: But he doesn't approve of engines arguing, too. [imitating the Fat Controller' 'Really useful engines don't argue'. Think of how happy he'll be when you both stop arguing.

[Donald and Douglas look blankly at each other.]

Donald: But Dougie's right, James. Remember what happened when your brakes failed and you crashed into Tidmouth Sheds?

[Flashback: Stock footage from 'The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor', taken from the beginning of the episode 'A Shed For Edward'.]

James: [scoffs] That was an accident. How's this:  I'll do it too, and if you BOTH lose to me, you have to stop arguing for good.

Donald & Douglas: Stop arguing?

James: Yes. So, are we gonna race or what?

Donald: Well...

Douglas: Uhhhh...

James: What's the matter? Chicken? [makes clucking noises]

[Donald and Douglas gasp]

''Narrator: Donald and Douglas didn't like that at all. They were determined to prove that they could stop their arguing, and do their job at the same time.''

Douglas: Ya wanna stop arguing for good, Donald?

Donald: Right, Dougie. James....

Donald & Douglas: You're on!
