"Rusty rail spikes! I have the hic-cups!"
― Thomas

Horrible Hiccups is the thirteenth short of the Short Story Adventures series.

Plot[]

Thomas and Diesel are racing to deliver cows to McColl Farm, but the former runs out of water, and has to be shunted to a water tower by Diesel, who quickly gloats before heading off again. Filling his tanks, Thomas accidentally splashes himself, and hiccups when he begins moving forwards. Percy then arrives and suggests blowing steam, which appears to work at first before failing, this time with the hiccups spreading to Percy and the cows. Diesel arrives soon afterwards and scares them all with his horn. This ends up curing everyone... at the cost of the hiccups relocating to Diesel.
