While Thomas was running his branchline, he saw Percy with a sad face.

Thomas: *Stops at a station* What's the matter Percy?
Percy: There's a disease going around Sodor called Brandonitis.
Thomas: What's that?
Percy: It's a disease that makes you speak in a southern accent, just like how Michael Brandon would speak in a southern accent, if he was providing the voices for most of the characters.
Thomas: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Percy: So far, the only engine that got it is Emily. Thankfully, it's not contagious, and it's very difficult to get.
Thomas: How do you get Brandonitis?
Percy: If your...

The Island Of Sodor, 1976

It was a very foggy morning on the Island Of Sodor. Henry was going as fast as he could with the flying kipper. It was hours behind schedule.

The Great Race

Starring... Do I have to tell you who's starring in this fanfiction? It's not like you don't know what this is about.

Henry: *On the mainland, and sees a red signal ahead*
Jinty & Pug: *Resting in a siding*
Workmen: *Waiting by three pick up trucks built by Ford, and GMC*
Henry: *Stops at the station*

The song fades away as Henry begins...

Sir Tophamm Hat put posters around Sodor about the race Thomas, and Gordon were about to have. More engines wanted to join in which made Thomas, and Gordon cross.

Thomas: Clearly none of those other engines will win. It should just be the two of us.
Gordon: That's pretty much the entire point of this race. Me, versus you.
Thomas: It's supposed to be the two of us.
Sir Tophamm Hat: *Arrives* It's supposed to be fun no matter who is racing. If you don't want to participate with the other engines, I'll gladly remove you from the race.
Gordon: No!
Thomas: We're okay with the other engines.
Sir Tophamm...

After Samson left the yards, he heard Thomas, and Gordon debating on who was the fastest.

Thomas: I can go really fast uphill.
Gordon: Only because you have those light out of date coaches, Annie, and Clarabel. If you had express coaches like me, you would never go fast at all.
Samson: But I could.
Gordon: Pfft, rubbish. No engine is as strong as me. Especially tank engines.
Samson: I'll prove you wrong. I am faster, and stronger then both of you combined.
Thomas: But we're talking about speed.
Gordon: You can't get that without power.
Henry: *Arrives* Samson-
Samson: Not now, this is an important...

Thomas was going very fast. Sam, Connor, and Caitlyn were right behind him.

Duck: *Passing Caitlyn* See you at the finish line!
Caitlyn: Yeah, after I pass you. *Passing Duck*
Emily: *Far behind everyone else, and sighs* First, I get a disease that makes me talk in a southern accent, and now I'm in last place. Things ain't going well for me.
Connor: *Trying to pass Sam* This engine is so big, I don't think I can pass him.
Sam: You're doing good Thomas.
Thomas: Thanks Sam.

A sharp turn was coming up ahead. The engines had to make sure they weren't going too fast. The only engine that didn't...

Vicarstown was not far for the engines. They had travelled far at high speeds, and were now getting closer to the end of their race. The positions so far are..

1st - Thomas
2nd - Sam
3rd - Connor
4th - Caitlyn
5th - Duck
Last place - Emily.

Thomas: *Gets to Vicarstown first* Yes! I won!
Sam: *Arrives second* Good race.
Caitlyn: *Passes Connor, and gets third* Yes it was indeed.
Connor: I should've gotten third.
Duck: *Arrives* Well, at least you beat me.
Emily: *Arrives last, and cries about it*
Thomas: Come on Emily. You cry about everything nowadays. Stop it.
Emily: *Stops crying* I wanted...
