Once upon a time, there was a little steam engine named Steamy. Steamy loved to start his day by going on adventures with his friends. One day, Steamy and his friends were playing in the meadow when they saw a shooting star fall from the sky.

"Wow, a shooting star! That's a sign of good luck," said Steamy.

Steamy and his friends followed the trail of the shooting star and came across a train station in the middle of the forest. The train station was old and abandoned, but Steamy had a feeling that something special was hidden inside. So, he and his friends decided to stay and investigate.

As they explored the station, they came across a room with a huge star shaped lock on the door. Steamy and his friends couldn't figure out how to open it, until one of his friends, a mischievous little engine named Stinky, had an idea.

"I know how to open this lock!" said Stinky. "We just need to steal the key!"

Steamy and his friends were hesitant about Stinky's plan, but they were curious about what was inside the room, so they decided to go along with it. Stinky snuck up to the key and tried to grab it, but as soon as he touched it, the key started to glow and the door flew open.

Inside the room, they found a magical engine that could fly through the stars! Steamy and his friends were amazed. They hopped on board and flew through the sky, visiting different planets and having all sorts of adventures.

But, as the sun started to rise, Steamy and his friends realized it was time to head back to the train station. They returned the magical engine to its secret room and made their way back home, tired but happy.

From that day on, Steamy and his friends never forgot the adventures they had at the old train station, and they always made sure to keep the secret of the magical engine safe.
