#1 of Thomas & Friends: Furry Version

Now this story is a personal dedication for me. Cause it goes out to a cartoon I grew up around when i was very little. And, I know a lot of people, including furs on this site may have grew up around this special cartoon. I have autism and this show helped me a lot get through it. It's, Thomas the Tank Engine. A special show I still watch to this very day, and I keep it close to my heart. With such memorable characters such as Thomas himself, Edward, Percy, James, Gordon, Henry, and so many other characters, along with the amazing, great Thomas movie, Thomas & and the Magic Railroad, this franchise has meant a lot to me. Now, this will be a much cleaner story, and it stars James, and Thomas himself. I don't own Thomas or James, they belong to their rightful owners. The ideas for their furry forms was my idea. ^w^


It was a very beautiful morning on the Island of Sodor, everyone was hard at work, but yet, there were those who still wanted more sleep and take some time to cut back. And, the ones still asleep, were Thomas Billington, and James Hughes. If anyone were to tell you, that it was a shock to see the cheeky, mischievous, but happy blue lynx and the self-proclaimed, arrogant, but otherwise smart splendid red fox, become boyfriends. But, once they started dating, things actually turned out quite well. They worked more harder together, James' ego quelled down and he became less arrogant, the fox actually became really loving to his feline boyfriend. And, Thomas' pranks stopped as well, but he was still cheeky to his foxy no matter what, and James honestly loved that about his kitty. It brought out the best in Thomas.

The sun shined down on the shack they both moved in close to Tidmouth Sheds. Sure they could've lived in their own homes, but, since they dated, Thomas and James made a commitment to be more close to each other. But yet, sometimes work got harder for them since Thomas still had his branch line to work, and James had to work overtime on the mainline with both coaches and the freight cars. But, somehow, they managed to keep their relationship working no matter what trouble came their way. Thomas' sparkling sapphire blue eyes gently fluttered open and lets out a yawn. The teenage lynx gently stretches his slender body and purred at feeling his back muscles pop gently. He turned to the side and smiled at seeing the topless form of James in front of him. While Thomas preferred being clothed asleep, James mostly slept half-naked.

The lynx grinned playfully as he snuggles up to his boyfriend and wrapped his arms around James' chest, stroking at the white furred chest and tummy of the fox. Said fox moans impatiently in his sleep and wiggled. "James..." Thomas cooed, stroking James' fur, "C'mon sweetheart, time to wake up and work." He said, but James who was stubborn as a donkey, whined in his sleep. "But I don't want too." The fox whined, making Thomas roll his eyes playfully.

The lynx then got out of bed. Going to their bathroom, grabbing his work clothes, hanging them up on a hanger, Thomas began to take a shower, making to wash his fur, "I just hope I don't get as dirty as Percy when he crashed in that chocolate factory." Thomas giggled silently at the memory of his best friend being covered in chocolate. Even though the rabbit tried to forget that day, Percy still had to admit, it was a pretty funny day.

Finishing his shower, Thomas dries his fluffy blue coat of fur off, combing it gently until it was nice and fluffy. Smiling as he get dressed, putting his beanie on, straightening his jacket along with dusting the number 1 he had on the left pocket of his jacket. Thomas smiled at his reflection, and it wasn't long before his ears perked at the sound of his boyfriends yawning voice and chuckled. "Finally awake sleeping beauty?" He teased, James frowns playfully at Thomas. "Ha ha ha. Very funny Tommy." He giggled at the blush on Thomas' cheeks from the nickname.

The red fox then looks at the mirror and looked horrified at his bed head, "Ahh! My headfur!" James yelped, making Thomas laugh. James was the type of person who likes to keep his fur neat. "C'mon James it doesn't look bad.." Thomas tried to soothe. "But it does Thomas! Look, I look like a fluffball! My fur is poofed out in the wrong directions!" James whined, stomping his paws, he then calmed down after Thomas kissed his cheek. "Hey, relax...just relax James. It actually makes you look cuter!" Thomas said with smile, making James' ears perk up, "R-Really?" asked James. "Yeah, but if you want like you want to, I won't stop you." Thomas said. "You know, it actually does look kinda nice." James admitted. "I know sweetie, now c'mon, we better get working, its your turn the Express, and if you're late Gordon or Henry were try to steal it from you!" Thomas teased, making James' amber eyes widen in surprise before he narrowed them. "Uh-uh! No way! Those two maybe my best friends, but I am not letting them take my chance to get the Express!" He said determinedly. Thomas chuckled silently, when it came to the Express, or important work, he, James, and pretty much everyone else wanted to be entirely sure they got the spot first!

While getting to his train to start the day, and waiting for James, Thomas spotted his best friend/brother Percy. "Hey Perce!" Thomas smiled. The green furred slightly chubby bunny turned around and smiled widely, "Thomas!" He ran to his best friend and greeted him in a brotherly hug. Ever since the two met, Thomas and Percy had been more than best friends, they were like brothers. And, when Thomas revealed to Percy that he was dating James, Percy gave Thomas and James his full support, he was also happy for James, meaning that James had Thomas in his life to keep him grounded, but Percy also teased his two friends, but James and Thomas didn't mind the teasing at all.

"So, where's James?" Percy asked. "Oh, he's getting ready. He's eager to get the Express before Henry or Gordon get the chance to take it." Thomas chuckled. "Oh yeah, besides we all know how James is, once he sees an opportunity for the Express, he'll take it no matter if Henry or Gordon will try." Percy said, "Actually Percy, the Express was Gordon's trademark, but, Sir Topham Hatt passed it to me when I finally got rid of the teasing of that obnoxious bootlace incident which was not my fault, btw." James said, as he finally stepped out, wearing his usual red outfit that matched his shiny bright red fur along with his signature number 5. "Anywho, have fun on the branch line cutie. I'll see ya later!" James smiled, giving Thomas a kiss and got in his train. "We'll have our date at the park later after work kay James?" Thomas asked. "You bet! Later Tommy!" James blew a kiss to his boyfriend. "See ya Jimmy!" Thomas teased, making James' cheeks more red than his fur or outfit. The fox then turned his train on, and it made a lot of nice warm steam. James blew the whistle of his train and smirks happily as it puffed away.

Percy giggled and turned to Thomas, "Tommy? Jimmy?" He asked raising an eyebrow, Thomas smiled sheepishly with a blush. "It's petnames. You'll use them when you date someone Perce." Thomas gigglrd softly. "I don't know if I'll find someone who'll love me just as much as you and James love each other Thomas." sighed Percy. Thomas smiled sympathetically and gave his best friend a hug, "I'm sure you will Percy, don't give up hope. There'll be someone special for you, I guarantee." Thomas winked. Then he walked to his engine, hopped into the cab and started up.

The day started like any other work day for everyone would go. Everyone working hard, trying to keep out of trouble with the obnoxious freight cars, and making sure to not get caught up in confusion and delay. But, yet everything went perfectly as planned. Not one mistake, crash, or accident happened. At the docks, where James was complaining about shunting a pack of cars, "Dirty, obnoxious, ridiculous, annoying cars!" the fox whined. Thomas chuckled as he walks up to his boyfriend, "Need some help sweetie?" He asked. "Yes hon." James pleaded. Thomas smiled and uncoupled his boyfriends engine from the cars and James sighed happily, then growled, "If there's one thing I hate more than anything Thomas, it's dirty, slow, disgusting freight trains!" He whined. Thomas giggled and gently patted his boyfriend on the back. "Just be glad the days now over baby. We can now get our engines back to the sheds, and go to our little date." Thomas said with a happy smile.

James smiled back and once it was sunset, the two retired their engines to the shed, and changed into some casual clothes. Thomas still wearing his usual beanie, along with a blue buttoned up shirt, his plaid jacket, and jeans. While James wore his red leather jacket, his own jeans, and black shirt. The two smiled as they snuggled together under the stars, watching the moon glow in the dark, James then took a little nap which made Thomas smirk naughtily, he slowly climbed ontop of James, shimmy the bottom hem of James' shirt up, revealing the fox's tummy, the lynx then dug his fingers and claws against James' belly and began tickling him.

James woke up with a start and laughed hard. "No! Thomas!!!" He giggled. Thomas smirked and kept on tickling James, "Let me go you silly little lynx!" James begged. "No way babe! You slept, so you brought this upon yourself!" Thomas smirked. The tickling kept going until James wiggled out of Thomas grip, tackling his boyfriend playfully. The two began wrestling in the grass, giggling and laughing happily. James then held Thomas in a full-Nelson, holding his lynx tightly, "Give it up Thomas!" James smirked, "No way! You can't make me!" The two continued wrestling and giggled until they stared into each others eyes, James smiled as he watches Thomas sapphire eyes sparkle in the moonlight, "God you look so beautiful Thomas...I'm so happy we're dating." James sighed happily, "Me too James." The two then gently placed their muzzles against each other in a sweet gentle kiss. Their noses gently rubbing against each other while they kissed. After their little snuggle date, the two returned to their shack, Thomas changing into his pajamas while James stripped to his red plaid boxers.

"Tonight was a really 'splendid' night, wouldn't you agree James?" Thomas giggled. James just smiled, "Yeah. It really was." He kissed Thomas on the cheek and the two snuggled up in bed. James wrapping his arms around the lynx's waist, holding him close, "Night, my sweet red foxy." Thomas whispered, "Goodnight, my loveable cheeky lynx." James whispered back. If there was any day on the Island of Sodor that would be described as a splendid day, it would be this one for Thomas and James.
