Transcript
Narrator: There had been an accident at the Blue Mountain Quarry. Some slate had fallen on Sir Handel and Peter Sam. It had scratched their boilers.

Mr. Percival: Sir Handel and Peter Sam, I am sending you both to the steamworks so you can each have a new coat of paint.

Sir Handel: Yes, sir.

Mr. Percival: Also, there will be a surprise for both of you at the steamworks.

Peter Sam: A surprise for us, sir? What is it, sir?

Sir Handel: Let's go to the steamworks and find out for ourselves, Peter Sam.

Narrator: So Sir Handel and Peter Sam hurried up to the steamworks. They couldn't wait to see their surprise.

Sir Handel: I wonder what it could be.

Victor: Hello, Sir Handel. Hello, Peter Sam.

Kevin: We've been told that you both needed new coats of paint.

Peter Sam: That's right, Kevin. But Mr. Percival also told us that there was a surprise for us.

Thomas: Hello, Peter Sam. Hello, Sir Handel.

Sir Handel: Hello, Thomas. What are you doing here?

Thomas: I'm getting new wheels.

Peter Sam: But where is that surprise?

Sir Handel: Peter Sam, look!

(Peter Sam puffs towards the back to the steamworks with Sir Handel, and gasps)

Proteus: Hello, Falcon. It's great to see you again.

Sir Handel: Great to see you too, Proteus. It's been a long time.

Peter Sam: You're Proteus?!

Proteus: That's right. You're Stuart, aren't you?

Peter Sam: I was, but I was renamed 'Peter Sam' when I came to the Skarloey Railway.

Sir Handel: And I was renamed 'Sir Handel'.

Peter Sam: I heard many stories about you, Proteus, but I didn't know you were actually real.

Sir Handel: And I thought you were scrapped after the Mid-Sodor Railway closed.

Proteus: Not at all. I had been in a shed at one of the mines for years. I was rediscovered a few days ago, and brought here to be restored. I'll be working on your railway once my restoration is done. Won't that be nice, brother?

Peter Sam: You and Sir Handel are brothers?

Proteus: Oh yes.

Sir Handel: Do you want to hear the story of when me and Proteus first me?

Peter Sam: Yes, please.

Thomas: I'd like to hear it too.

Victor: Me too.

Kevin: Me three.

Sir Handel: Alright then, here's the story.

(Flashback to the Mid-Sodor Railway)

Narrator: Peter Sam, or, as he was called on the Mid-Sodor Railway, Stuart had an bad accident one day. His brakes weren't working, and he had derailed and tumbled down a hill. The manager came to see him.

Mid-Sodor Railway Manager: Stuart, you'll have to go inside the maintenance shop for repairs.

Stuart: Yes, sir. How long will I be there exactly?

Mid-Sodor Railway Manager: It's hard to say. You could be there for quite a while judging from the damage you've taken. We might need another engine to help out while you're being repaired.

Narrator: Later, he spoke to Duke and Falcon.

Mid-Sodor Railway Manager: Duke and Falcon, I'll be bringing in another engine to help you while Stuart is being repaired.

Duke: What kind of engine, sir?

Mid-Sodor Railway Manager: This engine's basis was adapted from Falcon's; a Hughes Falcon 0-4-2ST. He'll be arriving tomorrow.

Falcon: An engine that will look just like me? I wonder what he'll be like.

Duke: You'll find out soon enough, Falcon. Now let's get some sleep.

Falcon: Okay, Duke.

(Duke and Falcon both go to asleep)

Narrator: The next morning, a yellow engine came to the sheds, just as Falcon and Duke were getting ready to start work.

Proteus: Hello. My name's Proteus, and I've come to work with two engines named Duke and Falcon.

Duke: That's us. I'm Duke.

Falcon: And I'm Falcon.

Proteus: You know something, Falcon? We share the same basis. We could be brothers.

Falcon: Brothers? That's a silly idea! I don't need a brother.

(Falcon puffs away)

Duke: My apologizes about Falcon, Proteus. He tends to be grumpy. You'll get use to it. Don't worry though, he's not as bad as Smudger.

Proteus: Who?

Duke: Smudger, who was formerly our number 2. But he was later turned into a generator behind our sheds for bad behavior.

Proteus: I'll just try to be nice to Falcon. I'm sure once he sees that I'm kind and helpful, he'll be nicer to me.

Narrator: So Proteus tried to be nice to Falcon every time he saw him.

Proteus: Hello, Falcon. Do you need any help with your train?

Falcon: No, Proteus. I can manage on my own.

Narrator: Proteus tried to ask Falcon if he could help, but Falcon refused the offer every time.

Falcon: Why does that yellow engine have to keep asking me if I need help. I'm perfectly fine working on my own.

Narrator: However, Falcon was getting so cross about Proteus that he forgot to take on more coal. That evening, he was returning from the mines with some trucks. Then there was trouble.

(Falcon starts to slow down)

Falcon: Oh no! Don't tell me I forgot to take on more coal or water.

Narrator: Falcon struggled on, but he didn't have enough steam. And he came to a stop near the cliff where he had once nearly fallen off.

Falcon's Driver: We'll be right back, Falcon. Your fireman and I are going up to the cottage to see if we can get help.

(Falcon's driver and fireman walk up to the cottage and knock on the door)

Falcon's Driver: Oh dear! It seems nobody's home.

Falcon: Did you get help?

Falcon's Driver: No one's home, Falcon. We'll have to wait and hope help will come soon.

Narrator: Back at the sheds, Duke and Proteus were starting to worry about Falcon.

Duke: Falcon should be back by now. It's not like him to be out this late.

Proteus: Maybe I should go and look for him.

(Proteus leaves the sheds)

Narrator: Meanwhile, Falcon was feeling cold, lonely and miserable.

Falcon: I wish I hadn't forgotten to take on more coal. And I wish I was at the sheds with Duke and Proteus. And I also wish... that I hadn't been so rude to Proteus. He'd probably not want to find me after how I treated him.

Narrator: Then, Falcon felt a rush of wind.

Falcon: What... what.. what was that?!

Falcon's Driver: I don't know, Falcon. Probably just the wind.

(Creaking noise)

Falcon: What's making that creaking noise?

(Falcon sees a light flickering on and off, off and on)

Falcon: Hello. Is someone there?

Narrator: Then, out of the tunnel came...

Falcon: Proteus!

Proteus: Falcon? What are you doing out here?

Falcon: I'm stranded. I ran out of coal.

Proteus: I'll help you back to the sheds?

Falcon: Oh, thank you, Proteus! Thank you! Thank you! Also, I'm sorry I was so rude to you before. Could you ever forgive me?

Proteus: If you've learned your lesson, sure.

Falcon: Oh, I have Proteus. We can be brothers, and you were a great brother to go out and search for me. Your lamp is very bright. I bet it's a magic lamp because I wished help would come and it did.

Proteus: I don't know about that, but I'm glad you've learned your lesson.

Narrator: So Falcon and Proteus started to work well together. And the story of Proteus finding Falcon spread across the island. It brought more passengers to the Mid-Sodor Railway. They even called him 'the Old Genie' because of his bright lamp that was believed to be magical.

Proteus: The Old Genie? I like that. Maybe my lamp really is magical.

(Back to present day on Sodor)

Proteus: And that's how me and Falcon, or Sir Handel, met.

Peter Sam: That was a great story. Just one question though; why were you left in the shed, Proteus?

Proteus: Well, just before you returned to service, I broke down. I was shunted into the shed until my new parts were ready. But sadly, they never were.

Thomas: That was a very nice story, Proteus and Sir Handel. Thanks for telling it.

Victor: Yes. It was very nice.

Kevin: Definitely!

Peter Sam: I agree. We can't wait to work with you.

Proteus: I'm looking forward to working with you two, and Duke, as well. And I'm also looking forward to making new friends once my restoration is done.
