Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure

Narrator: It was a bright, sunny day on the Island of Sodor. Thomas the Tank Engine was working on his branch line with his faithful coaches, Annie and Clarabel.

Thomas: [cheekily] Keep an eye out for Bertie, Clarabel. I don't want him taking me by surprise.

Clarabel: [angry] You should stop thinking about racing, Thomas.

Annie: [angry] And keep your eyes on the...[as Thomas starts racing] RAILS!!!!!! 

Toad: Oooh!!

Oliver: [shocked] Toad! What was that?!

Marion moves her shovel up to see Toad's okay. He opens his one of his eyes. She gives a beautiful smile. She chuffs next to Oliver is looks bored.

Toad: It's that steam shovel, Mr. Oliver. Ms. Marion!

Marion: [hesitantly] Sorry! Sorry, Oliver! I'm so sorry. I had my eyes closed. I just didn't want any more nasty surprises-

She suddenly saw Mike chuffs past Oliver, screams in horror and tries to run away, but Toad stops her, and she saw Rex and Bert next to her.

Toad: It's only Mike! [chuckles]

Marion: [scared] Ah!!

Toad: Oh, and Rex, too!

Marion: [terrified] WHAT!?

Toad: [off-screen] And Bert!

Marion: Oh!

Toad: Haven't you ever seen a miniature engine before, Marion?

Marion can see how small Rex, Bert and Mike are. This concerned them.

Marion: Well, I've seen small engines, but, those engines are very small. Very, very small. Very, very, ve- Are they real?

Mike: [firmly] Real?! Of course we're real! We bring all the ballast to put under your track!

Bert: And wool for making clothes.

Rex: And passengers too!

Narrator: Duck, the Great Western Engine, was working in the construction yard, where supplies for the new branch line were being delivered.

Donald and Douglas enters and Duck is happy to see them.

Duck: Ah! Well, I never! Donald and Douglas! Haven't seen you two around in a while!

Donald: We only went to collect some more rails and sleepers.

Douglas: Aye, so ye can build some more track, that's all!

Duck: [chuckles] Well, I don't know. But it feels like you've been gone for ages.

Donald and Douglas chuffs off, toots their whistles.

Douglas: Cheerio!

Duck: Oh, uh, cheerio! Uh, don't leave it so long, next time! [laughs]

Gordon: [angry] Oh, the idignity.

Thomas blew his whistle.

Annie: Thomas! It's

Thomas: [cheekily]

Gordon: [annoyed] I heard that, Thomas!

Thomas: [cheekily] But you

Gordon: [firmly] You

Thomas: [cheekily] "Silly little tank engines"? Well,

Gordon gasped out when he saw Thomas is pushing his express coaches and he is extremly furious, chasing after Thomas and blowing his whistle furiously.

Gordon: [furious] Thomas! What are you doing!? Come back with my coaches!

Thomas: [cheekily] You'll have to to catch me first!

Gordon: [furious] Stop, Thomas!

Toby:

Thomas whimpers when he finally pushed Gordon's express coaches too fast and they all hit Emily as she stops. Gordon, Annie and Clarabel gasps in horror when they saw that Thomashas destroyed Gordon's express coaches and they are all derailed, and all of the signals are red.

Thomas: [terrified] Uh oh! What have I done????

Gordon: [furious] THOMAAAAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sir Topham Hatt: [grumbling] Ohh, dear oh dear! How on Earth did this happen!? Oh...

Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt was not very happy when he discovered what Thomas had done!

Thomas: [desperately] But it's not my fault, sir! Gordon must have been at the wrong platform, sir, and Emily was coming in very fast, and Toby was...

Sir Topham Hatt: [angry] Oh! Enough, Thomas! It wasn't Gordon or Emily who caused this accident! It was YOU!

Thomas: [stutter desperately] B-b-b-but I...!

Sir Topham Hatt: [still angry] Perhaps, YOU should spend some time shunting cars in the construction yard!

Thomas: [terrified] The construction yard!? What do you mean, sir?!

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm sending you to work on the new branch line, Thomas! Maybe that will help you think about being a little less cheeky!

Thomas: But, sir, what about my branch-line????????

Ryan enters next to Thomas, whistle blows.

Ryan: Branch line? I think that's where I'm meant to be working!

Sir Topham Hatt: [happily] Ahh, Ryan! My new tank engine! You're here!

Thomas: [hesitantly] New tank engine??? But...

Sir Topham Hatt: C'mon, Ryan, let's get started.

Sir Topham Hatt: [angry] Honestly, Thomas, what's got into you!

Thomas: [desperately] It's not my fault, sir! Nobody warned me to look out for danger signs! I...

Sir Topham Hatt: [still angry] Uh, uh, uh! No, Thomas! I don't want to hear your excuses!

Rocky turns Thomas towards Emily.

Thomas: [desperately] But, sir, there was something else!

Sir Topham Hatt: [extremely furious] Oh!!!

Thomas: Down in the cavern...

Sir Topham Hatt: [to Emily] Take him to the Steamworks, Emily, please!

Thomas: [calling] Sir! Sir!

[Sir Topham Hatt open the door on his car, but stops and looked at Thomas.

Thomas: If Ryan is here, can't I go back to my branch line again?

Sir Topham Hatt: [angry] No, Thomas, you can't! Percy is looking after your branch line and you still have work to do here! You need to collect some more ballast, for a start.

Sir Topham Hatt went inside his car and left as Thomas chuffs off sadly. He sadly shunt some car wagons.

Thomas: [sadly] I used to be the Fat Controller's number 1 engine, but I'm not his number 1 anymore [the dust and dirt is over Thomas's number].

Thomas has just saved the diggers from the dynamite, but seconds after being rightly applauded for his bravery, a furious voice booms

Sir Topham Hatt: [furious] THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas: Uh-oh.

Sir Topham Hatt: [furious] WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought you could learn to be more responsible if I sent you to work here!

Thomas: [desperately] But, sir! This time, it's really NOT my fault! I...

Sir Topham Hatt: [still furious] NO, THOMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF YOUR EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TO YOUR SHED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU CAN STAY THERE FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sir Topham Hatt furiously storms off, leaving Thomas utterly crushed. Fade to the sun is setting.

Narrator: The diggers tried to carry on, but without the dynamite, there was only so much they could dig.

Oliver: That's enough for today. Come on. It's time to go home.

Jack, Alfie, Oliver, Max and Monty left, just as Marion felt something fell into her shovel.

Marion: Oh. What's this?

She looked inside her shovel is a pirate treasure.

Marion: A box? [excitedly] Oliver! Alfie! Guess what's in my shovel!

But there is no reply.

Marion: [confused] Anyone? I'll save this for tomorrow.

Fade to Duck, Donald, Douglas, Ryan and Thomas sleeping at the construction yard that night, but Thomas is sleeping outside.

Narrator: All the engines were settling sown to sleep. Apart from Thomas.

Thomas opened one of his eyes when he hear Sailor John whistling in the distant. Skiff rolled past the yard and smiled to see Thomas. Thomas is happy to

Sailor John: Ohhhh, I've dug everywhere now and there ain't no sign of that treasure! But, according to the map, it should have been here. Unless, someone has beaten us to it! Eh, Skiff?

Thomas' and Skiff's smiles turns to puzzled.

Skiff: Huh?

Thomas: What? What are you saying?

Sailor John turns to Thomas and walks in front of him.

Sailor John: [preachy] Oh, I'm not saying anything, but only the three of us have laid eyes upon that map and I've been with my sailboat night and day.

Skiff: Day John!

Thomas: Huh?

Skiff: Day!

Sailor John: Ohh!

Skiff: [singing] ♪ Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o, Daylight come and we have to go home ♪

Sailor John: Al'right, Skiff! I heard ya! I'm coming!

He climbed onboard Skiff, and he pointed his finger at Thomas, sternly.

Sailor John: [sternly] But, don't you go thinking this is the end of it, Thomas!

He picks up the oar and rows on the ballest to move Skiff, leaving Thomas feeling very sad.

Thomas saw Sailor John and Skiff is there in front of him. Thomas stops in front of them. Skiff is happy to Thomas, but Sailor John isn't.

Sailor John: Where's my treasure?!

Thomas: The Fat Controller has it. He's giving it to the museum.

Sailor John: [angry] Museum?! What museum?! I haven't been searching all this time to see that treasure end up in a museum! It's for me!

Skiff: [hesitantly] But you always said we were going to give it to the museum!

Sailor John angrily stamps on Skiff's deck, growling.

Sailor John: Get my treasure back, Thomas!

Thomas: [rudely] No, Sailor John! That treasure didn't belong to you, and it didn't belong to the pirates! It was stolen! So it's going to the museum and that's the end of it! [He chuffing forwards towards Sailor John.]

Sailor John: [even more angry] I will NOT be pushed aside! Hold firm, Skiff!

Thomas refused to stop, so he pushed Skiff and puts him into a siding.

Skiff: [worried] Sorry Thomas!

Thomas chuffs off to the Knapford Station.Sailor John jumping on Skiff's deck.

Sailor John: [fuming] I WANT MY TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas: [scared] Oh, CINDERS AND ASHES!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas splashes into the water.

Skiff: [terrified] Thomas!! [gurgling] Thomas!!

Narrator: The next morning, Sailor Joh was picked up by the police. Policeman: Hello, hello, hello. What have we got here then?

Sailor John: [terrified] But I'm innocent, I tell ya!

Policeman: Tell that to the judge! Narrator: He was placed under arrest.

Sailor John: [horrorfied] You've got the wrong pirate! Narrator: And Thomas was rescued by Rocky. Thomas looked in worried, his buffers, footplate, headlamp and lamp rods are covered with seaweeds, Rocky (who carried by Duck) picked him up out of the water and lifted him on the flatbed, and looked at Sir Topham Hatt came towards him. He gasps. Thomas: [anxious] I'm so sorry, sir! It's all my fault, I know it is. I-

Sir Topham Hatt raises his hand. He isn't cross, but happy.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas... there's nothing to be sorry about. I'm poud of you!

Thomas looked at Ryan approghes him, smiling.

Sir Topham Hatt: Ryan told me everything, and I know you did your best to stop that pirate getting away.

Thomas sighs.

Thomas: [hesitantly] But I wasn't quick enough to save the treasure, sir.

Sir Topham Hatt chuckles.

Sir Topham Hatt: Please don't worry about the treasure, Thomas. My engines are much more important to me than any treasure. And you, Thomas, are my number 1!

Thomas smiles and laughs, and looked at his number. Fade to the grand opening of the new Harwich branch line, and Ryan, Duck, Rocky, Oliver, Toad, Donald, Douglas, Marion, Jack, Alfie and Oliver arrives.

Narrator: At last, work on the new branch line was completed. It extended Sir Topham Hatt's railway from Arlesburgh to Harwich.

Oliver feels board when he listens to Marion.

Marion: This is so exciting, isn't it, Oliver? We actually built a new branch line!

Oliver and Toad approaches next to Marion.

Toad: I think we're meant to be on that siding over there, Mr. Oliver.

Marion: (shocked) Oliver? Oliver?! But I thought you made a wish! I thought you had changed into a digger! There can't be two Olivers!

Oliver and Oliver: Yes, there can! (laughing)

Donald: Shush!

Douglas: He's here! Look!

Thomas toots his whistle and pulling Annie and Clarabel.

Annie: It's good to have you back, Thomas!

Thomas: It's good to be back, Annie!

Clarabel laughs. Thomas approaches next Ryan.

Sir Topham Hatt: Ladies and gentlemen, engines and excavators. I am very proud to open this new branch line taking my railway up to Harwich for the very first time! My new tank engine, Ryan, will take care of the goods traffic, and I'll be calling on a very special friend to look after all the passengers.

Thomas: But, sir, I already have a branch line!

Sir Topham Hatt laughs.

Sir Topham Hatt: Not you, Thomas! I was referring to Daisy, the Diesel Railcar!

Thomas: [suprised] Daisy??

Daisy: That's right, Thomas! Me!

Duck, Oliver, Ryan, Toad, Rocky, Annie, Clarabel, Donald and Douglas cheering.

Sir Topham Hatt: Ahem, so without further ado, I declara this branch line open!

Sir Topham Hatt, Lady Hatt, Bridget Hatt, Stephen Hatt, Dowager Hatt, Sir Robert Norramby and the Thin Clergyman walk approaches and onboard Annie and Clarabel.

Thomas: [concerned] But, sir, aren't you going to cut the ribbon, sir?
