OK, here's my first ever fanfic on here. I hope you enjoy! And please, NO hate comments.

Story
It was a lovely day at the Loud residence. Inside, Lincoln was watching ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? ''in the living room when Leni walked in.

"Hey Lincoln," Leni said cheerfully.

"Oh hey Leni," said Lincoln.

"What's up," asked Leni.

"Not much," said Lincoln, "just watching some Scooby-Doo on TV. James got me into it. It's a really cool and funny show."

Just then, Lana came into the living room, carrying a box.

"Look what I found on the doorstep," Lana said.

"What is it," asked Leni.

"It looks like a package of some kind," said Lincoln.

"And it's for us," Lana cried happily.

"I wonder who left it here," said Leni.

"It says here that it's from James," said Lincoln.

Just then, Luna and Lynn came down.

"What's going on," asked Lynn.

"James left this box here for us," replied Lincoln.

"Cool," said Lynn, "I wonder what's inside."

"Only one way to find out," said Lincoln. He opened the flaps of the box, reached inside, and pulled out what looked like books with a picture of a smiling lime locomotive on the front covers.

"Cool," said Lana. "James gave us new books!"

"Hey," said Lincoln, looking at the covers of the books, "not only did James give us these books, he wrote them!"

Lincoln showed the covers to his sisters, who were amazed.

"Wow," said Leni. "I never knew James could be such a great author!"

"And that's not all he left us," said Luna, pointing a an envelope and a smaller box inside, "look!"

Lincoln removed the envelope and smaller package from inside the larger box.

"What's inside the small box," Lana asked.

"Let's see," said Lincoln. he opened the smaller box and pulled out a silver whistle and a brown leather pouch. Inside the pouch was a strange gold powdery substance.

"What's this," Lincoln wondered to himself.

"Anyways, what about the envelope," asked Leni.

"It's a note from James," said Lincoln as he read the front of the envelope.

"What's it say," asked Lynn.

"Let's read it and find out," said Lincoln. He opened the envelope and unfolded the note inside. The note said "''Dear Loud Family, in this package is a series of books I have created from my own mind and heart called "Chuggie The Little Lime Locomotive & Friends. I also have given you a whistle along with some gold dust that will transport you magically to the town where my stories take place: Piperville, Vermont. I think you'll like it there. They've got the BEST maple syrup in all of the Northeast. I hope you will enjoy reading these stories just like I enjoyed making them. Signed, James. P.S. You should read these stories to Lily. I think she'll really like them! P.P.S. If you run out of gold dust, no need to fret. The bag magically refills itself up when the dust starts to run low.''".

"Wow," said Lincoln. "I bet this'll be like fun!"

"Do you think Mom and Dad'll mind if we went there for a while," asked Leni.

"I'm sure they won't," said Lynn, "as long as we leave them a note telling them where we are."

"I'm on it," said Lincoln, grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil. He then proceeded to write "Dear Mom, Dad, and Everyone Else, we have gone out for a little while. We will be back at some point before dinner. Signed, Lincoln, Leni, Lynn, Luna, and Lana. P.S. We're going to Piperville, Vermont." on the paper, then tape it to the door.

"Perfecto," said Leni, "well, let's get going!"

"Say no more," Lincoln said as he filled the whistle with gold dust. Then, the siblings huddled together.

"You guys ready," asked Lincoln.

"Ready," replied his sisters.

"OK here goes," Lincoln said as he blew into the whistle. In about 7 seconds, the gold dust transported them to Piperville Grand Station.

"Wow," Leni said, "this place is amazing!"

Just then, a lime locomotive chuffed into the station.

"Hello," beamed the locomotive.

The siblings stared at the engine with shocked expressions.

"Is...something wrong," asked the locomotive.

"Not really," said Lincoln, "we just haven't seen a talking train before."

"All the trains talk on this railway," said a voice.

"Who said that," asked Leni.

"I did," the voice repeated.

The siblings then saw a young man wearing a blue shirt with a white stripe, a blue ascot, white pants, and white shoes exit the cab of the locomotive.

"Who are you," asked Leni.

"Welcome to Piperville, folks," the young man said, "my name is Butch Cassidy, and I'm the controller of this railway. And this is my main engine, Chuggie."

"Hi," said Chuggie.

Leni thought Butch looked rather handsome and stared at him with a lovestruck expression on her face.

"Um...Miss," said Butch.

"Sorry about that," Leni said as she snapped out of her love trance.

"It's alright," said Butch, "just please don't do that again. Besides, I'm taken."

"Oh OK," said Leni.

"Anyways," Butch said, "who wants to meet some of Chuggie's friends?"

"Me," came the Loud siblings' reply.

"Alright then," Butch said as he got back in the cab, "all aboard!"

Lincoln, Leni, Luna, Lynn, and Lana then joined Butch in the cab as he released Chuggie's brakes, gave 2 short blasts of Chuggie's whistle, and set off for the roundhouse. As hey left the station, Lynn saw a boxcab diesel engine with the name "Zeb" and the number "300" on its sides come and collect Chuggie's 2 passenger cars and take them back to the rolling stock yard.

"Who's that," asked Lynn.

"That's just Zeb," Butch explained, "his job is to collect rolling stock that's not being used to take them back to the yard."

"Nice," said Lynn.
