Blue Mountain Mystery

Narrator:

Rheneas: But, Skarloey, I’ve been bumped again! Now, I have to be repainted!

Skarloey: You have to stop bumping into things, Rheneas. (laughs, as Thomas puffs up) Hello, Thomas!

Thomas: Where’s Luke?

Luke toots, as he puffs up.

Luke: Hello, Thomas!

Thomas: Luke, I have wonderful news for you! I talked to Victor! He told me what happened when you were being unloaded from the ship. He said-

Skarloey: (shocked) WHAT DID YOU DO!?

Thomas: (getting nervous) I... I talked to Victor.

Luke: (shocked) You talked to Victor?!

Thomas: Yes, but...

Skarloey: (becomes furious) We told you not to talk to the other engines!

Rheneas: And you have.

Peter Sam: We thought you were our friend.

Luke: I thought you were MY friend!

Skarloey, Rheneas, Peter Sam and Luke: (all furious) BUT, YOU'RE NOT!!!

All the furious narrow-gauge engines start to puff away.

Thomas: (desperately) Please, wait! It's not what you think!

Diesel and Paxton arrive, as Luke races away.

Narrator: Suddenly, Diesel's horn echoed around the Blue Mountain Quarry.

Diesel sees Luke puffing away.

Diesel: Is that him? Are you the engine that pushes other engines into the sea?! I've heard all about you!

The furious Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel and Peter Sam puff away along the upper terrace.

Narrator: The narrow gauge engines rattled away from Thomas, Diesel and Paxton on the upper terraces of the quarry!

Thomas: (desperately) Don't listen to Diesel! Let me explain!

Skarloey: (still furious) No, Thomas! Don't "explain" ANYTHING! We can see what you've DONE!

Sir Handel: (angry) Go away, Thomas!

Peter Sam: (angry) Go back to your branch line!

Luke follows the other narrow gauge engines on the upper terrace, wiliest the desperate Thomas trying to stop him.

Thomas: (desperately) Luke, don't chuff away from me! Please, LISTEN!!!

Luke:' (still furious) I DON'T WANT TO "LISTEN" TO YOU EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The furious Luke races inside the tunnel. Thomas stops and is felling very sad.

Narrator: Thomas knew that his narrow gauge friends thought he had let them down. They thought Thomas had let Luke down, that was worst of all. Thomas felt terrible.

The furious Skarloey came out of the tunnel, still chuffing off, but looking down at Thomas and is still furious with him. An angry Rusty collect the ballest wagon away from Owen.

Diesel: Now, Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Percival will sort your little friend out once and for all! (Laughs evilly)
