My Thomas Leaves Sodor Part 2 by DragoDanir on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The next morning at Tidmouth Sheds, all the engines will begin to wake up.

Edward: Good morning Henry.

Henry: Good morning Edward.

Edward: Good morning Percy.

Percy: Good morning Edward.

Edward: Good…

James: Don't try to say me good morning.

Edward was suprise with James reaction.

James: Oh, I'm sorry Edward. I didn't mean that. Is just... Im tired to see that.

Emily: What?

James: That empty space, It just reminds me that Thomas doesn't sleep here after being punished for that accident in Knapford.

Percy: Yeah, it's not the same without him.

Gordon: Yeah, I don't see why Sir Topham Hatt keeps him in the sheds. After all he's so silly as an engine without a boiler.

And Gordon started laughing. But he stopped when he saw the others with angry faces.

Edward: It's not funny Gordon.

Gordon: Well, he deserves it for taking my coaches out of the station.

And with that Gordon left the shed and headed to Knapford. Yhe others were behind him. When the six engines arrived to Knapford, they were surprised when they saw their trains on the platforms.

Gordon: Hey, who prepared all these trains?

Edward: I don't know, they weren't here last night when we got back to Tidmouth.

Percy: And not only that. The yard is also in order.

Emily: Who did all this?

At that moment Sir Topham Hatt approached the others.

Sir Topham Hatt: Good morning everyone. At what time did you prepare your trains and organize the Yard?

James: It wasn't us Sir. That's how it was when we just arrived.

Sir Topham Hatt: So who did it?

Henry: We don't know Sir.

Sir Topham Hatt: Oh well. we'll see who did all this later, now I have to go to see how everything goes on the construction site.

And with that Sir Topham Hatt left and the engines went to work. But they could not stop thinking who prepared the trains and organized the yard.

At the construction site Ryan, Duck, Donald, Douglas, Marion, Rocky, Jack, Alfie, Oliver, Max and Monty had just arrived. Ryan still felt terrible about yesterday, and he wanted to apologize to Thomas for getting him into trouble. He went to the shed where Sir Topham Hatt had sent him and stood in front of the doors.

Ryan: Hi Thomas, it's me Ryan. listen I... I want to thank you for saving me from dynamite yesterday. What you did was very brave. And I'm... I'm also sorry for getting you into trouble. It's my fault that Sir Topham Hatt yelled you, and... I'm so sorry Thomas.

Ryan expects Thomas to answer, but he didn't.

Ryan: Thomas you're still asleep?

Ryan still doesn't hear a reply.

Ryan: Um, Thomas?

Ryan moved forward and slowly opened the doors. But when he opened them, he was surprised to see that Thomas is not there.

Ryan: Wha… what ?, no it... no it can't be?

Douglas: What?, what is it Ryan?

Ryan: It's Thomas. It's not here.

Donald: Wait what?

Ryan: It’s not here,

All the engines were surprised to see that Ryan was right.

Marion: Hey it's true. But, where did he go?

Ryan: I don't know. He stayed here after they yelled at him yesterday.

Duck: Okay, okay, everyone calmdown. Maybe Sir Topham Hatt sent him to do a job this morning.

At that moment Sir Topham Hatt had arrived.

Sir Topham Hatt: Hello everyone. I'm glad to see that everyone is ready to work.

Douglas: Um... well... almost everyone.

Sir Topham Hatt: Eh? what do you mean Douglas?

Duck: Um... Sir... you sent Thomas to work this morning?

Sir Topham Hatt: No Duck, why?

Ryan: Um... well it's because... it's not here.

Sir Topham Hatt: Wait what?

Ryan: It's not here, look.

Sir Topham Hatt looked at the shed and he was surprised to see that Thomas is not there.

Sir Topham Hatt: What? but, where did he go?

Ryan: We don't know Sir. He stayed here last night after you yelled at him. I wanted to talk to him about what happend yesterday, but when I came to look for him here he was not here.

Sir Toham Hatt: So… where is he?

Meanwhile on the Mainland Thomas had arrived in a city called York. He had approached two engines. One of them was a Midland railway 2000 3P that was painted black, had the number 2015 and the letter LMS next to it which means: London, Midland and Scottish Railway. And the other was a Mainland Compound 1000 Class that was painted red and had the number 1000 on her tender.

Black Engine: Hello there.

Thomas: Oh, hi. I'm Thomas.

Black Engine: Nice to meet you Thomas. I'm Benjamin.

Red Engine: And I'm Johanna. Welcome to the York International Railway. What brings you here?

Thomas: Well, I'm looking for a place to live and work. Could I be here?

Benjamin: Well, how good are you doing shunting?

Johanna: Or pulling passenger trains.

Thomas: I'm a good shunter. On my former railway I used to shunt all the time and also pulled passenger trains. Give me a chance and I'll show you. I want to be really useful again.

Benjamin: Okay then.

Johanna: We can try, follow us.

And Thomas followed the two engines.

Thomas: Yes, I'm going to stay here now. Besides, who cares about the North Western Railway anyway?. Surely they are happy that I came out of their miserable lives.

But Thomas was wrong.

Back in Sodor Ryan, Duck, Donald, Douglas, Marion, Rocky and Sir Topham Hatt were worried about Thomas. They asked everyone if they had seen it.

Donald and Duck went to Arlesburgh Junction to ask Rex, Mike and Bert if they had seen him.

Donald: Have any of you seen Thomas?

Rex: We haven't seen Thomas since he came to get some more slate.

Meanwhile Douglas went to ask the narrow gauge engines if he saw it.

Douglas: Hey, haven't you seen Thomas or yes?

Skarloey: No Douglas, I'm sorry.

And Marion went to Brendam's docks to ask.

Salty: I'm sorry sailor, but we haven't seen him for a while.

Meanwhile at Knapford Station Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy and Emily are on the platforms. None of them could stop thinking about who had prepared the trains.

Edward: Okay, we are all here before returning to Tidmouth right?

Everyone: Yes.

Edward: And had any of us shunted or prepared a train before we left?

Everyone: No.

Edward: So if none of us did any of this then who did it?.

At that moment Ryan arrived along with Sir Topham Hatt.

Henry: Oh, hello Ryan, what brings you here?

Ryan: Well, I was wondering if any of you had seen Thomas.

Emily: Oh, we haven't heard from him after he fell into that cave.

Ryan: Oh no. so where is it?

Edward: Ryan are you okay? You look worried.

James: Is something wrong?

Ryan: Yes. you see, this morning I went to look for Thomas in the shed where he stayed last night at the construction site to talk to him. But when I went to look for it he was not there. He disappeared.

The engines were shock after hearing that.

Emily: Excuse me?

James: What?

Percy: Thomas disappeared?

Edward: Impossible.

Henry: Not true.

Gordon: When did this happen?

Ryan: We don't know. Me and everyone else asked everyone if they had seen it, but nobody has seen it.

Sir Topham Hatt: This is serious. We are in a state of emergency. We must inform the Search and Resacte Center of Sodor and the police. Everyone should look for Thomas.

The news soon spread across the island, even in the newspapers. All engines helped to find Thomas, including Diesel.

Later that day Sir Topham Hatt was in his office at Knapford station, looking at his photo album. He had many pictures of Thomas taken over the years. When it was restored in 1930 by his great grandfather. And when he became number one of the North Western Railway after saving Gordon and James after they accident.

He began to remember Thomas's expression when he ignored him after Rocky took him out of the cave, and the expression he had after he yellet him after the accident with dynamite yesterday. He began to think for himself.

Sir Topham Hatt: Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I should have listened to it when Rocky took it out of the cave. And maybe it shouldn't have been so hard with him after the accident with the dynamite yesterday.
Now Sir Topham Hatt could only worry about Thomas.
