Summary
When Doki and Bright Eyes find out about a girl named Sally Bollywood who is a victim of child abuse, they decide to save her from her parents and have her taken into their family's custody.

Story
One day, Bright Eyes and Doki were walking home from school with Doki's father, Greg.

"So, Doki," asked Greg, "how'd the tryouts for the school chess team go?"

"Awesome," said Doki, "I made the team!"

"Just like your old man," said Greg.

"And I got an A on my math test," said Bright Eyes.

"Hey, nice job," said Greg.

Just then, the trio spotted a young Indian girl being dragged by her father by the hair.

"Who's that," asked Bright Eyes, "and why is she being dragged by the hair?"

"That's Sally Bollywood," explained Greg, "and her parents abuse her."

Bright Eyes and Doki were shocked.

"That's horrible," said Doki, "why would they do that?"

"I don't know," said Greg, "but I've seen this one too many times already. It really breaks my heart to see that happen to such a young girl."

Bright Eyes then looked at Doki.

"I wish there was something we could do," said Bright Eyes.

"You and me both," said Doki.

"And by the way," said Greg, "We're having pizza for dinner tonight."

"Great," said Doki.

That evening, the Spotts were at dinner, but Doki and Bright Eyes weren't eating.

"What's up, kids," asked Carmen, Bright Eyes' mother, "something bad happen at school?"

"No," said Doki, "something bad happened after school."

Greg told his wife everything about what he, Doki, and Bright Eyes had witnessed earlier.

"Well, that's just wrong," said Carmen.

"Yeah," said Doki, "I just wish there was a way to help her."

Later, Doki was sleeping when he heard something hitting his window.

"What's that noise," Doki asked.

Doki got out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and saw Thomas throwing acorns at the window.

"Thomas," Doki asked, "what are you doing here?"

"I'll explain when you and Bright Eyes get down here," Thomas said.

"Oh," said Doki, "okay."

Doki quietly woke up Bright Eyes, and the two rappelled down the side of the house using a rope made from tying a bunch of old dish towels together. When they reached the ground, they climbed into Thomas' cab and they set off.

"Where're we going, Thomas," asked Doki.

"To the Bollywood house," said Thomas.

"Why," asked Bright Eyes.

"Because," said Thomas, "I saw Mr. Bollywood locking Sally in her room and putting iron bars in her window."

"Bars," gasped Bright Eyes.

"That's so crossing the line," said Doki.

"I know, right," said Thomas.

"But," asked Bright Eyes, "what are we gonna do?"

"We're gonna rescue Sally," said Thomas.

"Now we're talking," said Doki.

"Here's what we'll do," said Thomas, "I've got a chain in my cab, and what you'll do is you'll hook one end of the chain to me and tie the rest around the bars. Then, I'll pull on the chain and hopefully, it'll break the bars off. Then, we'll inflate this air mattress I've got, then tell Sally to jump. The mattress is here to provide a safe landing for her."

"Sounds cool," said Doki.

Soon, they arrived at the Bollywood home, and Doki tied the chain to the bars and hooked Thomas up to them, while Bright Eyes blew up the air mattress.

"Ready," said Doki.

"Same," said Bright Eyes.

"Alright," said Thomas, "this is it! Here it goes!"

Thomas then pulled hard on the chain and sure enough, he had enough strength to break the bars off the window, and Sally soon appeared on the sill.

"Jump," Thomas shouted.

Sally, after throwing down a pink gym bag with all her belongings in it, jumped from the sill and landed safely on the mattress, then climbed into Thomas cab after getting the box in.

"Go, go, go," Doki shouted to Thomas.

Thomas quickly fled the scene. However, Doki spotted Sally's father, Franklin, chasing after them.

"We've got company," said Doki.

Just then, Franklin tripped on a root and fell.

"Darn it," said Franklin.

"Ha," said Doki, "take that!"

"You darn kids," Franklin shouted as Thomas vanished into the distance.

Soon, Thomas arrived back at the Spott residence, and Doki, Bright Eyes, and Sally got out.

"Thanks for rescuing me," said Sally.

"No problem," said Thomas.

Thomas then left, and Doki, Bright Eyes, and Sally entered the house.

"Now," said Doki, "to sneak back into bed before-"

"Doki Jason Spott," snapped a voice.

The kids looked and saw Greg standing at the foot of the stairs with his arms crossed.

"Uh oh," Doki thought, "busted!"

"What on Earth are you doing," asked Greg.

"These two and that blue engine rescued me," said Sally.

"Her dad locked her in her room and put bars in her window," explained Doki, "so Thomas had us help him with the rescue mission."

"I see," said Greg, "Well, normally, I would punish you for sneaking out of the house at night, however, since you did it for a good cause, you're off the hook. But please don't do something like that again without me knowing."

"Yes, sir," said Doki.

Doki and Bright Eyes went upstairs to their rooms.

"Where can I sleep," asked Sally.

"You can sleep over there on the couch," said Greg.

"Thanks," said Sally as she lied down on the couch.

"Now," said Greg, "to end this child abuse business once and for all."

Meanwhile, back at the Bollywood home, Franklin and his wife, Natasha, were watching TV.

"I can't believe that stupid blue engine got away," said Franklin.

"Well, dear," said Natasha, "humans can't outrun trains."

"True," said Franklin.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Now, who could that be at this hour," asked Natasha.

Natasha went to the door and found two police officers on the doorstep.

"Good evening, officers," said Natasha, "what can I do for you?"

"Is this the Bollywood residence," asked one of the officers.

"Yes," said Natasha, "why?"

The officers then got out their handcuffs.

"Hands behind your backs, please," said the second officer, "you and your husband are under arrest for child abuse."

"You'll never take me alive," said Franklin.

Franklin quickly dashed out the door and tried to run away, but he was grabbed by the second officer, who then cuffed him and threw him in the back of the police car, while the other officer arrested Natasha and while Greg watched from the front lawn.

"That'll teach 'em," said Greg.

The next day, The Spotts were in the local courthouse for Sally's hearing.

"What's with the fancy outfits," asked Doki, "It's Saturday."

"Well," said Greg, "a courtroom is a pretty formal place."

"Yeah, true," said Doki.

"All rise for The Honorable Judge Jefferey Tracey," said the bailiff.

Everyone stood up as the town judge, Jeff Tracy, approached his seat.

"You may be seated," said Jeff.

Everyone sat down.

"We now open the case of The People Of Winter City Vs. Franklin and Natasha Bollywood," said Jeff, "First, we'll hear from the victim, Miss Sally Oshanki Bollywood."

Sally approached the bench and sat down.

"Well," said Sally, "ever since I was a baby, my parents would act like total jerks to me. They would always be slapping me, hitting me, punching me, etc. I thought I would never be free of this torture, but because of the actions of one Doki Jason Spott and Thomas The Tank Engine, I feel like it's possible."

"Thank you, Sally," said Jeff, "you may return to your seat now."

Sally returned to her seat.

"Now," said Jeff, "we will hear from the witness, Mr. Gregory Roscoe Spott."

Greg then approached the bench.

"Well," said Greg, "every day as I leave for work, I hear Mr. and Mrs. Bollywood beating their daughter. It just breaks my heart to think that I'm just letting them do that instead of doing something about it."

"Thank you, Mr. Spott," said Jeff.

Greg returned to his seat.

"And now," said Jeff, "we will hear from the defendants, Mr. Franklin Bollywood."

Franklin approached the bench and sat down.

"That little brat deserves it," said Frank, "we wanted a boy for me to pass down my father's candy store to. She deserves to be treated like that."

"Thank you, Mr. Bollywood," said Jeff.

Franklin sat back down.

"And now," said Jeff, "we will dismiss the jury to discuss the verdict."

With that, the jury went to their chambers. About 15 minutes later, they came back.

"Jury," asked Jeff, "have you reached a verdict?"

"Yes, Your Honor," said one of the jurors.

The juror handed Jeff a card.

"In light of all three testimonies," said Jeff, "we the jury hereby find Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Bollywood guilty of child abuse and sentence them to life in prison without parole and grant full custody of Sally to Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Spott. Case dismissed!"

Jeff then slammed his gavel while the bailiff escorted Mr. and Mrs. Bollywood out of the court and while the Spotts and Sally celebrated.

"Welcome to the family, Sally," said Carmen.

Later, at the Spott residence, Sally was watching TV with Bright Eyes and Doki.

"You know," said Sally, "I think I'm gonna like living with you guys."

"Same," said Doki, "It'll be like I have 3 sisters now."

Sally, Doki, and Bright Eyes giggled when Greg came in.

"Hey," said Greg, "it's almost time to go to the party."

"What party," asked Sally.

"The Narrow Gauge Engines are having a barbecue party at their house," said Doki.

"Oh," said Sally, "okay."

Later, the Spotts arrived at the Narow Gauge Engines' place, where Duke, the oldest, was flipping burgers on a grill.

"Hello, Gregory," said Duke, "glad you and your family could make it!"

"We're glad too," said Doki.

"The others are inside," said Duke.

"Okay," said Doki.

With that, Doki, Sally, and Bright Eyes went inside, where Rheneas came to meet them.

"Hey, guys," said Rheneas, "who's your friend?"

"Rheneas," said Doki, "this is Sally, our new foster sister."

"Her parents were put in jail for abusing her," said Bright Eyes.

"Yikes," said Rheneas, "That's deep."

"Yeah," said Sally.

and found Skarloey dancing to the song "Hot Potato" by Australian children's music band The Wiggles.

"What's that he's listening to," asked Sally.

"Some band he likes called The Wiggles," said Rheneas.

"Nice," said Sally.

"Sir Handel," a voice roared.

Sally then saw Duncan chasing Sir Handel. Duncan's funnel and smoke-box where covered with green slime.

"What happened to you," asked Rheneas.

"This happened," said Duncan as he held up the bucket the green slime was in, "Now, where is that little blue pain in the butt?!"

"He went that way," said Rheneas.

"Thanks," said Duncan, who then charged outside.

"Wow," said Sally, "he must've not liked that prank."

"Duncan has no toleration for Sir Handel's pranks whatsoever," said Rheneas.

Sally then spotted Peter Sam painting a picture in his studio.

"Who's that," asked Sally.

"That's Peter Sam," said Rheneas, "he's our resident artist. Last year, he won an art contest with a marble stature of John Cena wrestling Sir Handel."

"Nice," said Sally.

Soon, Duke called the others to dinner, and they soon began eating. After they ate, Peter Sam turned to Sally.

"Hey, Sally," asked Peter Sam, "wanna see my studio?"

"Sure," said Sally.

With that, Peter Sam showed Sally his art studio, which was filled with many beautiful paintings, sculptures, drawings, reliefs, and prints.

"Wow," said Sally, "you did all this?"

"Yup," said Peter Sam, "What can I say? I'm quite the artist!"

Sally then spotted a photo of famed American painter and art instructor Bob Ross on the wall.

"Hey," said Sally, "that looks like that painter guy on PBS."

"You mean Bob Ross," asked Peter Sam.

"Yeah," said Sally, "I've seen his show once on YouTube."

"Cool," said Peter Sam, "you know, he's the guy who inspired me to become an artist."

"Nice," said Sally.

Peter Sam then got an idea.

"Hey, Sally," said Peter Sam, "can I do a portrait of you?"

"Sure," said Sally.

"Okay," said Peter Sam, "just take a seat and I'll get started."

With that, Sally sat on a posing stool and Peter Sam got the colors he needed onto his palette and soon got to work. About a while later, he was finished.

"All done," said Peter Sam.

When Sally saw the finished portrait, she was amazed.

"It's beautiful," said Sally.

"You want it," asked Peter Sam.

"Sure," said Sally.

"Okay," said Peter Sam, "Fifty bucks, please."

"I'm sorry," said Sally, "I'm pretty broke right now."

Peter Sam laughed.

"Just kidding," said Peter Sam, "take it for free!"

"I will," said Sally.

Later, the Spotts went home and went to bed.

"Well," said Sally, "here goes a new life."

The End
