## Stories

### Nia Owes an Apology

Nia is sent to work on the Main Line to fill in for Sheffield while he is at the Works Station being repaired. She sees Gordon, but Gordon is not happy to see her and yells at her for changing everything. Nia then meets Alice who tells her that “saying sorry can make someone forgive you”, then Gordon returns from Vicarstown and Nia offers to fetch his coaches, making the big engine fed up with her. Nia wants to tell Gordon something, but Gordon doesn’t have time for Nia’s apology. Henry, Alice, Rebecca and Bear pull in and notice Nia looking unhappy and a lot worse, Alice says that she will have some stern words with Gordon when she sees him. The Fat Director asks Nia to help Gordon and the Express, so Nia races to the Rescue and collects Gordon’s Coaches promising that she can fetch him coal and water. Nia brings Gordon's Express to Vicarstown where The Thin and Fat Clergymen were both waiting. Nia collects the Water Tanker and Coal Trucks and brings them back to Gordon. Nia arrives with Coal and Water and in no time, Gordon is feeling better again, then an avalanche begins and Nia pushes Gordon out of the way, saving him and only causing herself to be buried! Gordon sees Nia buried and Nia apologises for what she did a long time ago. Gordon accept her apology and apologises to Nia for being rude to her earlier. Then he pulls her out of the bank of earth and helps her back to the Shed. Gordon tells Nia that “You help Me and I help You. United We Stand Together We Fall” like he said to Thomas a long time ago. The Fat Controller, Henry, James, Donald, Douglas, Rebecca, Peter, Bear, Pip and Emma are waiting anxiously for Gordon and Nia and they arrive at the Big station. Sir Topham congratulates Gordon for his Brave actions and Nia for helping a friend in need. Gordon offers to take Nia to the Works Station to be repaired by using Edward’s Branchline, The KilLogan and Cabalnoo Branch and the Kirk Ronan Branch since the Main Line is closed due to an landslide on the Main Line. Nia is happy that he has a good friend like Gordon to help her in need.
