Episode 6

Christmas Rescue

It was a snowy day on the Island Of Sodor. Thomas, and Percy were to collect two christmas trees. One for the sheds, and one for Knapford Station.

When they arrived at the forest, they collected their flatcars of trees, and started off. Thomas wanted to show Percy how fast he could go, but Percy wouldn't let him.

"We can't go too fast Thomas," warned Percy. "The trees might fall off, and that would never do."

"I'll keep that in mind." Said Thomas the tank engine, and continued to Knapford. On the way, they would pass the diesel works, but Arry, and Bert were blocking their paths.

"Let us pass." Said Thomas, "We've got trees to deliver."

"And we have steamies to scrap." Arry, and Bert said together. They coupled up to Thomas, and Percy, then pushed them to the diesel works.

Thomas tried to push the diesels, but his wheels were spinning. They went faster, and faster, and soon Thomas was pushing the diesels.

Percy just kept his brakes off, and did nothing. It was his only way to stop the diesels.

Things seemed to be going well, but D261 showed up in front of Thomas, and with his help, Arry, and Bert were taking them back to the diesel works.

"Percy, I have a plan." Whispered Thomas. He was whispering the plan, when Diesel crept up beside him, "Be quiet." He sniggered, "You, and your green caterpillar with red stripes are going nowhere."

Thomas soon uncoupled from Percy, and went backwards. D199, Splatter, and Dodge soon caught him, and Percy was still in trouble with the rest of the diesels.

"Help!" Percy cried, as he was being pushed towards a siding which had buffers, but they weren't safe. If Percy came off the rails, he would fall off a cliff, and would be doomed.

This almost happened, when the diesels pushing him got uncoupled, went backwards, and they got derailed.

"Sean!" Percy shouthed in excitement, he was the one that saved Percy. "Hurry, and save Thomas." Replied Sean. So Percy did, while Sean kept the other diesels busy.

Thomas was about to get picked up by a crane to be scrapped when Percy pulled him away. The two friends were escaping, and Sean got the rest of the diesels derailed.

"Oh, thank you Sean. I owe you one." Thomas said. "I think we're even." Replied Sean, "I'll go with you if you'd like." "Certainly." Said Thomas. He liked this diesel, and the three of them have become good friends.

Thomas, and Percy got the trees to the station, and shed on time, and Sean got the special diesel fuel from the diesels to the science research facility. Sir Tophamm Hat rewarded Sean for saving Percy, and Thomas, and for returning the fuel.

In the end, Sir Tophamm Hat's engines had a very merry christmas.
