Regret messege of an express engine (oneshot au)

regret messege

You seriously believe in that silly story,Henry?"

Of course I do.

The green engine says,contently watching the little bottle that his driver placed upon the waves of the sea as it's floats away from the shore.he said with a wistful smile on his face."it's the first thing I ever believed before I come to sodor"

...

How long has it been? Since that very day were here? Since the last time Henry was beside him anywhere on this island before it happened.Thos thoughts were conjured up as deja Vu began to appear in Gordon's firebox.He still remembered that sad,yet beautiful melodymwhy couldn't he remember the name of the song? Alas,he continued to stare at the ocean as it's reflection mimicked the sunset above.musing about the song on the beach was not what he planned to do,he had something else in mind.

Far away at the shore,in town beside the sea,

Alone stands an engine,staring longingly,

It is here,at the shore,that he holds unto his heart,

A secret he never dared to speak.

The letter began to look back at the events that led him here,to distract him from the pain rotting away deep inside.

He heard the sea loving diesel engine who's name was salty retelling this legend that came from a time long ago.likr cranky,Gordon barely took interest in this 'so-called' legend of salty's,until a Stanier Black 5 spoke up.

"That's a story that I know came true".Gordon recalled Henry saying.This obviously didn't change his opinion about it,however,it did need made him curious.Not the legend,but why Henry said that.when the no.4 asked him,he only told him to come with him to the beach and he'll explain it there.

If you write a wish upon a paper and you place,

It into a glass bottle,

And it's washed away by the ocean then someday,

There's a chance that It may just come true.

They were at the shore,where Henry's driver had a glass of bottle with a parchment.Henry's wish was written on a letter,his driver with the ocean to his knees slowly and with care,gave the bottle to Neptune's calm waters.the green engine seemed satisfied.

G:your seriously believe in that story,Henry?.

H:of course I do.

The green engine says, contently watching the little bottle that his driver placed upon the waves of the sea as it's floats away from the shore.He said with a wistful smile on his face.

H: its the first thing I ever believed in before I came to sodor.

Henry continued to explain his acknowledgement of the tale.

H:back when I was just built,I was in a poor working state.my old owner thought there would be no chance of me being bought and was thinking about selling me to a factory nearby to scrap me and reuse the metal.there was one worker who was actually there for me,he told me the legend that if you write a wish on a paper into a glass  bottle and give it to the sea,it's a bound to come true.and it did.

For some reason Gordon felt somewhat sympathetic for the engines next to him for the engines next to him,

G:so what did you wish for this time?
