When Percy returned from the works, the other engines were very happy to see him.
"Welcome back, Percy!" Gordon called and Percy shunted his trucks into place at the platform.
"Thanks, Gordon!" Percy smiled, "It's good to be back!" And with that, he accidently let off steam all over Gordon, causing the big blue engine to splutter.
"Whoops! Sorry, Gordon!" Percy said, although he was stifling his giggles. Gordon simply raised an eyebrow before chuckling.
"It's fine, Percy. It was an accident." Gordon chuckled. He then looked to James, who was backing down onto the express.
"Have a good time out there, James!" Gordon called, and James grinned right back.
"I will, thank you, Gordon." James said, and he left the station in fine style as the guard's whistle blew. Percy whistled goodbye, and then resumed work.
"I love Sodor!" Percy chuckled to himself.
Oh yes, it's great
To be an engine
And go steaming along,
Puff puff puffing along,
Peep peep peeping along.
All the people waving
As you speed along.
Puff puff puffing along
All day.
Thomas rolled along his branch line, until he passed a field. He saw Terence, plowing it, and gave a cheerful whistle. Terence honked right back, grinned, and then continued his work.
Thomas then approached a crossing, where he saw Bertie waiting. Thomas smiled at his friend as he sped by, and Bertie gave a cheerful toot.
We're all so proud to be
Famous engines
And travel through the countryside.
We're always brave when
There are hills to climb.
No mountain is too high!
Edward waited quietly at his station, watching trains go by. As one particular train whistled past, Edward grinned and gave a long, loud whistle.
Oh yes it's great
To be an engine
As you're steaming along.
Puff puff puffing along,
Peep peep peeping along.
Fly along the rails as
Your wheels go round
Whiz whiz whizzing around
All day.
The train was the Express, pulled by James. The red engine beamed proudly as he whizzed up Gordon's Hill and down the other side, smiling all the while. As he steamed onwards, he looked around the beautiful countryside and took in his surroundings.
It doesn't matter
Come rain or shine.
There are always things
For us to do.
And in the cold cold
Wintertime,
We're ready.
When you light the fire
And stoke the boiler
And we'll be there for you!
Gordon continued along with his goods train and stopped at a signal to let another train pass. Gordon sat grinning as the other train passed, and gave a friendly whistle as the coaches continued down the line.
Oh yes it's great
To be an engine
As you're steaming along.
Puff puff puffing along,
Peep peep peeping along.
Feel the wind around you
As you push along.
Puff puff puffing along
All day.
The train belonged to Henry, who chuffed eagerly along the way to Elsbridge. Although he was visibly struggling, he couldn't help but smile when he heard his friend's whistle. He saw the station platform up ahead and whistled loudly.
Just think - how wonderful it would be.
To live on the magical Island of Sodor,
Helping Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends
All day long,
It would be like a dream come true.
If only I could be an engine too...
Henry pulled into the platform and dropped off passengers for Thomas, who eagerly climbed aboard Annie and Clarabel. Thomas whistled happily and continued off along his line, with his two coaches trundling happily along behind him.
Oh yes it's great
To be an engine
And go steaming along.
Puff puff puffing along,
Peep peep peeping along.
All the people waving
As you speed along.
Puff puff puffing along,
When it was dark, Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, and James all sat in Tidmouth Sheds, when Percy rolled alongside to collect his mail train. The other five smiled at him as he headed off into the night, giving a friendly whistle before steaming away.
Peep peep peeping and
Puff puff puffing and
Steam around all day!
THE END
Henry sat in the shed while the other engines were hard at work, trying to get steam up.
"It's no good," The driver sighed.
Henry looked sadly down at the ground as the Fat Controller shook his head disapprovingly nearby.
"I suffer dreadfully, and no one cares…" Henry muttered.
Well, here we are folks. The end of this story. It's been quite the adventure, if I do say so myself. This is the longest thing I've ever written and I'm overjoyed that you people who have read it have enjoyed it. This story has made me a lot more attached to the original 6, and I'm very happy it has, as my love of Thomas stemmed from them. I want to thank all of you who have, are, and will read this in future. Spread it around and try to keep it relevant, as I want many people to see this. As for what's next? Well, I'm going to be putting up some smaller traditional Thomas episodes before I try anything this big again, but I'd say that this is a pretty good start for a fanfic writer. So until next time, friends. Goodbye and thank you!
THE END (for real)
