Part 1
Thomas the tank engine has lived on the North Western Railway for many years, and he knows it very well. One day, he was on his branch line, pulling his last train of the day. The sun was setting on Sodor’s horizon as he puffed up the valley to Ffarquar. His coaches and younger sisters, Annie and Clarabel, were filled with passengers going to the station. Thomas enjoyed running his evening train as the day slowly came to an end. The sky seemed so beautiful with streaks of pink and orange. After puffing his way through the tunnel, Ffarquar appeared up ahead and Thomas began to apply his breaks. He came to a gentle stop with his coaches at the platform. Thomas saw Hector the Union Pacific hopper truck on a siding. Hector was married to Annie, and they had two daughters, Blake and Chelsea.

Thomas: Hello, Hector. Lovely evening isn’t it?

Hector: Of course. So, how are things at the sheds?

Thomas: Oh, couldn’t be better, old friend. What about you, Hector?

Hector: I’m fine, thank you. It hasn’t been the same much since you and Molly got married you know. I miss our trips around the mountains, and you pulling me and your sisters.

Thomas: I know, Hector. Times have changed for both of us, haven’t they?

Hector only smiled at Thomas and agreed. Just then, the last of Thomas’ passengers left, and he had to go.

Thomas: Well goodbye, Hector I must go. Annie and Clarabel are quite tired. Tell you what - I'll take you with them home.

Hector agreed, and they arrived at the sheds. Hector and the two coaches were alone, but they didn't mind. Thomas really didn’t see Hector or Annie and Clarabel that much anymore, because he had to take care of his family. But his thoughts were soon interrupted by a voice.

Flora: {furious} Brock, I told you that the rock hopper isn’t a toy! You almost buried me in quarry dust!

Flora pulled up alongside Toby with three smaller engines next to her. One looked like Mavis and Toby put together, one looked like Toby. And the last one looked like Flora. The engine that looked like Toby and Mavis put together was arguing with Flora.

Brock: But mom, I only wanted to see how it worked. How was I supposed to know that tons of quarry dust would come pouring down and almost bury you alive?!

Flora: Well I can’t keep an eye on you and your brother and sister. You should know better than to wander off while I’m still working!

Toby: Brock, I thought I told you to be good for mother while Uncle Percy and I came down here.

Brock: Yes, dad... But I wanted to see what was in the big pipe. But all it had was a bunch of dust. And mom was so mad at me she almost went as red as tomato.

Thomas smiled at Brock’s mess up. He was quite the trouble maker indeed. But Toby knew how to keep him in check. He was impressed by the way Toby and Flora could take care of their three children and still work.

Toby: {sternly} Well you’re going to be hauling tomatoes with me tomorrow as punishment.

Brock: But dad-

Toby: No buts! If you can’t behave, then you have to help me with the harvest. Understand?

Brock: Yes, sir.

Thomas felt sorry for him all the same.

Thomas: Cheer up. Its time to go home to the sheds now. Come on.

And they all puffed away toward Tidmouth Sheds. Tidmouth Sheds had been home to the engines for years. At the time the Sodor Airport was being built, The Fat Controller had decided to rebuild it so there would be two more spaces for his engines. Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Duck, Donald, Douglas, and Oliver were already there with their wives Bridget (Edward), Emily (Henry), Danni (Gordon), Daisy (James), Chelsea (Duck), Olivia (Donald), Hanna (Douglas), and Rosie (Oliver). Molly (Thomas' wife) was there, and so were Lady and Wendy (Percy and Stanley's wives).

The engines' children were playing about. Matthew (Edward's son) was reading a book about LNER engines. Daniel and Victoria (Henry and Emily's son and daughter) were talking about their days work. Orian (Gordon and Danni's second vhild) was bragging to his younger siblings. Doug (Duck and Chelsea's son) was talking to Tavish and Kenna (Donald and Olivia's son and daughter). Josh (James' son) was bugging James a lot. And Kelly (Percy and Lady's daughter) was trying to have some rest. But that wasn’t easy when her younger siblings kept getting in the way.

Kelly: Billy, you shouldn't be playing with that.

She was trying to keep her younger brother out of the workmen's tools. Billy was the spitting image of Percy except his buffers were gold like his mother Lady’s. He was also cheeky and caused a lot of accidents.

Billy: I just want to know what it is, sis!

Billy seemed a very curious engine. Sometimes he was a bit too curious for his own good. He pulled out a wrench from one of the toolboxes and using his front buffer wheel, swung it around a few times, trying to learn its purpose. But all he did was hit his sister’s nose and made it bleed. Kelly looked at her dented nose in utter shock. Billy put the wrench down and looked at the damage.

Billy: Oops. Sorry, sis. {Kelly keeps her eyes fixed on her nose.} Sis?

Kelly: My n-n-n-nose!

Orian smiled the biggest smile ever. For once, someone had been able to do the unthinkable. Kelly was now hurt beyond belief.

Orian: Well, Kelly, your nose isn’t so perfect now is it?

Kelly was so torn up about the destruction of her nose she began to cry. Orian fell about laughing at Kelly’s suffering. Thomas Jr. (Thomas and Molly's son) felt somewhat sorry for the cute, magic engine. Orian was still laughing hysterically at Kelly's predicament. Thomas Jr. felt sorry for Kelly, and walked towards her.

Thomas Jr.: Aww, come here.

Thomas Jr. hugged Kelly and kissed her cheek. Kelly calmed down because of this.

Kelly: {sniffles, thinking} He's so sweet.

Thomas Jr.'s older sister May and seen everything. She, too, felt sorry for Kelly. She was about to comfort her, but the sound of Thomas’ whistle stopped her.

Thomas: Hello, everyone. We’re home.

Thomas Jr. felt better now that Thomas was there. Things always seemed perfect when he was around. Percy and Stanley had come with him, and they were very tired.

Stanley: Phew! Thank God we're not busy as that every day!

Percy looked at his sobbing little girl, and Thomas' son hugging her with a puzzled look.

Percy: What’s wrong with Kelly?

Orian: {calms down} Billy dented her nose with a wrench. And now, she's heartbroken!

Orian felt this amusing and fell back into his laughter. Molly sighed and let Thomas, Percy, and Stanley in. Molly listened to Danni tell Orian off.

Danni: Honestly, Orian! I can’t believe you’d sink so low that you’d go and take advantage of Kelly's suffering.

Orian was beginning to lose his patience with his mom's lectures. It was very annoying to hear Danni go on and on about right and wrong. Instead of listening to his mother, Orian thought back to his talk with Gordon's famous brother, Flying Scotsman the last time he came to Sodor...

Orian: So all the other A3's were scrapped?

Flying Scotsman only frowned at the repeat of his bad news. Gordon and Orian had never felt so miserable in his life.

Scott: Well, cheer up, Orian - the others may be gone, but we're still here. This is our chance to survive in this quickly modernizing world. You, your brother, father, and I, the pioneer A3, the newest A3's, and the fastest A3. Try and remember that. I’m going to leave soon, you know.

Domanic: Where are you going, exactly?

Scott: I'm going on tour to the United States and Canada.

Orian: Can't we go with you?

Scott: {chuckles} I think you're better off here than you would be over in the U.S. But maybe someday soon, we’ll meet up again.

{End flashback…}

Danni: ...and now you make fun of Kelly for her inability to control his own siblings! You really need to learn to consider others feelings, Orian. Are you even listening to me? Hello. Orian, Orian. Wake up, you fool!

Orian heard his mom that time and snapped out of his trance.

Orian: Huh? Oh, sorry, Mom. Did you say something?

Danni sighed in frustration. It was no use repeating what had been said. Thomas and Molly looked at them and smiled.

Thomas: How do you feel?

Molly: I’m fine. A little discomfort in the belly, but I’m fine.

She looked at her pregnant belly and sighed. She and Thomas already had two kids - May and Thomas Jr. - and little kid number three was on the way.

Toby: What's wrong, Molly?

Molly: {sighs sadly} I wish our parents had been at mine and Thomas' wedding.

{Thomas Jr., May and Kelly walk over. Kelly has tears running down her face, and a tissue for her nose.}

Thomas Jr.: What's going on here?

Thomas: Molly was talking about her parents.

May: Oh. Where are they, mom?

Molly: They died protecting me and Toby from Diesel 1, Diesel 10's father. I'll tell the story...
