Transcript
Narrator: Connor and Caitlin are streamlined engines who live on the mainland. They have five coaches each. Each engine shares its livery with his or her rake of coaches. Connor's coaches are named Virgil, Klaus, Dominic, Milhouse and Tyrone while Caitlin's are Harriet, Rita, Stephanie, Gretchen and Wanda. Caitlin's coaches have never travelled with Connor, while Connor has never taken Caitlin's. But one day, Caitlin asked Connor if they could swap coaches, just for one day.

Caitlin: So Connor, how would you like to take my coaches for a change?

Connor: You don't mean it do you?

Caitlin: It's just an offer, if you don't mind me saying so.

Connor: No Caitlin. I don't mind at all.

Narrator: So Connor collected Caitlin's Coaches, while Caitlin backed onto Connor's.

Virgil: Hey this isn't our engine. He should be blue and yellow not pink and purple.

Harriet: This engine is blue and yellow. We normally have a pink and purple one.

Narrator: But Connor ad Caitlin had a plan and they were sticking to it. And so they headed to the mainland station.

Connor: All aboard!

Caitlin: Get in quickly please!

Narrator: Connor and Caitlin raced through the Mainland, onto the Vicarstown Bridge, and finally arrived on Sodor. Soon Connor arrived at a station to drop of the passengers.

Connor: Here's your stop.

Passenger 1: This is Kellsthorpe.

Passenger 2: We wanted to get off at Ffarquhar.

Narrator: Then Caitlin arrived at a station too.

Caitlin: Yes, this must be where the passengers want to get off.

Passenger 3: We don't want to get off at Maron.

Passenger 4: We want to be at Dryaw,

Narrator: Soon Sir Topham Hatt was receiving complaints from the passengers. He didn't know what should be done about it. At Knapord, Thomas was picking up passengers at Platform 2. Then Connor and Caitlin, still with each other's coaches raced in. What they didn't know was that the coaches had something on their mind.

Virgil (to Klaus): Hold back.

Klaus (to Dominic): Hold back.

Dominic (to Milhouse): Hold back.

Milhouse (to Tyrone): Hold back.

Harriet (to Rita): Hold back.

Rita (to Stephanie): Hold back.

Stephanie (to Gretchen): Hold back.

Gretchen (to Wanda): Hold back.

Tyrone: That ought to do the trick.

Wanda: Then they'll realise their mistake.

Connor: Hey, what's going on?

Connor's Driver: Maybe the coaches are on a drag or something.

Caitlin: Mine are dragging behind too.

Caitlin's Driver: I wonder why they're doing that.

Narrator: At that moment the door of Sir Topham Hatt's office opened and out he stepped looking very stern indeed.

Sir Topham Hatt: Connor, Caitlin, do you know anything about this?

Caitlin: Yes sir. Kind of.

Connor: You see. We swapped our rakes of coaches for the day, without thinking what mayhem we were going to cause.

Sir Topham Hatt (to the coaches): Okay that's enough of that.

(Coaches stop dragging back)

Connor: We're sorry sir. We should have asked permission from the Mainland Controller before we switched our coaches.

Sir Topham Hatt: Yeah I should think so.

Thomas: Are you two alright?

Caitlin: We've had rather a bit of a hectic day Thomas.

Connor: Yeah, nothing serious. We'll end up with it the right way sooner than later. Do you want your own coaches back Caitlin?

Caitlin: Yes please Connor. And it's probably best if you take yours back too.

Narrator: So once Caitlin and Connor had given each other their own coaches back, the coaches seemed a lot happier. And the passengers were back to normal once again, so the passengers now arrived at all the right stops. And that night when the two streamliners were safely back on the Mainland.

Connor: You know Caitlin. We've had rather an exciting day today on Sodor haven't we?

Caitlin: We certainly had Connor. But it's good to be back to normal once again, isn't it?

Connor: Oh absolutely.

(Both engines can't stop laughing about their adventure)
