**The Blue Train** is an episode of The Number Yoshis. Its sister episode is Apples And Pears.

## Summary

Two gets a ticket to ride a blue train, where, upon riding it, he notices that everything is colored blue.

## Plot

The episode starts with Two looking for his song lyrics in the Number Yoshis's Bedroom. Six asks if Two knows what his lyrics are about, and Two says he does not know, until he finds a blue ticket. Two finds out that the ticket is for a blue train, and that only one person is able to ride it. One asks to tag along, and Two explains the rules of the ticket, calmly refusing to let her come with. One then complains in disappointment, and Two sets off to a train station located in Hayes River Village by the Hayes River because Three explains that the town's train station had moved there.

While waiting for the blue train, Two meets a boy named Karac, who knows about and has ridden the blue train. Two asks him when the blue train will arrive, and Karac responds that the train arrives "in an hour". Two does not understand him and is about to ask Karac to clarify, but notices he has disappeared.

An hour later, the blue train arrives. Two gets on, and only at this time does Karac reappear again, waving goodbye to him before slowly disappearing again, as if he was a ghost. Two then witnesses the first object outside Two's window that turns blue, which is a tree in a forest. Then, gradually, all other objects begin to turn into a shade of blue. Two is amazed at this, and thinks to himself that he will "tell everyone when this is over".

Later, Two notices a lively apparition of a blue girl dancing in the train. Then, a wind storm emerges and is about to cause the train to fly backwards, but it does not. Finally, Two finds his song lyrics, which are turned into blue pieces of paper with blue lead on them made from a blue pencil.

Afterwards, Two wakes up from under a tree, disappointed that everything he encountered, including Karac, was all a dream. Two then notices that a boy looking like Karac is running around and clutching Two's song lyrics in his hands. Two arrives to where the boy is, causing the boy to give Two the song lyrics. Two explains to the boy about a dream about riding a blue train he'd had, and how he met a boy named Karac. The boy reveals himself to be Karac, and Two is shocked as Karac smiles.

When he gets home to the Sofa, Two tells the rest of the Number Yoshis about a dream he'd had riding a blue train. One, taking an interest to the dream, becomes happy as the episode ends with Two finding another blue ticket.
