Human Dreams

On the Island of Sodor, everyone has dreams. Even all the engines have dreams. But sometimes they dream of something they wished happened in real time. Case in point, Thomas and Emily had that exact assumption tonight.

At Tidmouth, everyone had fallen asleep except for Thomas, Emily, and Percy. They were talking about their dreams.

" One time. I had a dream that me and James were kissing at the top of the Eiffel Tower. " - Percy

" How does that work? " - Thomas

" It's a dream Thomas. It doesn't have to make sense. " - Emily

" Yeah. But how could you stay on top of the tower? " - Thomas

" It's my dream. Don't Judge it. " - Percy

" Sorry. " - Thomas

" Anyway. I'm gonna get some shut eye. " - Percy

" Sweet Dreams. " - Thomas and Emily

" Oh, I hope. " - Percy

Percy closed his eyes and was now asleep, leaving Thomas and Emily to talk alone.

" Still, how can two engines sit on the top of that tower, or anything other tall structure? " - Thomas

" I don't know. But I do know people can go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and have a great view. " - Emily

Thomas then had a vision of him and Emily at the top of the Eiffel Tower looking down, but it ended bad as he began to slip off the tower and fall to the ground. He then yelled in the real world.

" Ahh. No! " - Thomas

" Thomas? What's wrong. " - Emily

" Oh. Nothing. I just thought of you and me at the top of the Eiffel Tower, but then I fell off. " - Thomas

" Oh. " - Emily

" Yeah. If only we were humans, then we would be able to be at the top of the tower, and be at many other landmarks. " - Thomas

" You want to be a human? " - Emily

" No way. I love being an engine. And don't you remember when we all got our bodies switched? " - Thomas

In case anyone forgot, Thomas and Tyler had their bodies switched by some substance a scientist made. Also many of their other friends got switched as well. ( The story Switch and Swap is when that happened. Read it if you haven't to understand )

" Right. That was very freaky. " - Emily

" Whatever. I just would love for you and me to be human and we could do many romantic things that humans can do but we can't. " - Thomas

" Really? That's very sweet. " - Emily

" Yeah. But that can only happen in our dreams. " - Thomas

" Then let's go to sleep and hope we have that dream. " - Emily

" Okay. Let's see if that happens. " - Thomas

" Goodnight Tommy. " - Emily

" Night Em. See you in my dream. " - Thomas

" Sure thing. Love you. " - Emily

" Love you too. " - Thomas

Both engines closed their eyes and went to sleep, and the two were hoping that the dream they wanted would happen tonight.

And that ended up happening.
