06x12 - Scaredy Engines

- [Narrator] The engines

on the Island of Sodor

look forward to Halloween.

They love Sir Topham

Hatt's fireworks

and the children dressing

up as wizards and witches.

They also loved

Edward's spooky stories.

(owl hooting)

(steam hissing)

They say that on Halloween,

the ghost engine

returns to the smelters

looking for his lost whistle.

Woo, woo.

"Ooh, ah, spooky," the engines

said, all shivering a little.

Later, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

"Thomas, Percy, and Duck, I

have a special job for you.

"You are to collect some scrap

"from the Smelters

Yard tonight."

"On Halloween?"

"Don't worry.

"You'll be back in time

for the fireworks."

"Percy isn't worried

about missing

"the fireworks," teased Thomas.

"He's a scaredy engine."

"I am not," called Percy.

But he was, a little.

At the smelters, all

Percy could think about

was Edward's ghost engine.

(sparks crackling)

Thomas knew Percy was scared,

so he teased him even more.

"What's that up there?"

Thomas squeaked.

"Is it a spook?"

"It's just a piece of twisted

scrap," Percy said nervously.

"Isn't it?"

Thomas was having fun.

He kept on teasing Percy.

"Careful, the ghost engine

doesn't get you," Thomas said.

"There's no such thing as

ghosts," snapped Percy.

Duck felt sorry for Percy.

"Nobody's brave all

the time," said Duck.

"But I'm not a scaredy

engine," Percy insisted.

(horn whistles)

The job was nearly complete.

"Well done," the

yard manager said.

"Now, I'll need one

engine to finish up."

Duck wanted to pay Thomas

back for all his teasing.

"Please, sir," he said.

"I'm sure Thomas

wouldn't mind staying."

"Of course not," Thomas boasted.

"I'm not a scaredy engine."

So, Duck and Percy left.

(doors thud)

When Thomas was by himself,

every sound and every

shadow was spooky.

(sparks crackling)

He was beginning to

feel very scared.

"There's no such thing as

ghosts," he said nervously.

"Who's there?"

Thomas was so busy

looking for ghosts,

he didn't watch

where he was going.

(chains rattling)

The chains felt

like ghost fingers.

"Something's got me!"

Thomas wheeshed and set

off an old steam whistle.

(sparks crackling)

(steam hissing)

(horn whistles)

"The ghost whistle,"

said Thomas,

and he raced away as fast as

his wheels could carry him.

"The ghost engine is after me!"

"It was naughty of Thomas to

tease you Percy," said Duck.

"He was only

playing," said Percy.

"I hope he hurries up.

"I wouldn't want him to be

late for the fireworks."

"He's after me!"

"I don't think he'll

be late," said Duck.

Duck and Percy joined the other

engines for the fireworks.

(fireworks crackling)

"Where's Thomas?" Percy asked.

"He'll miss all the fun.

"It would serve him right after

all his teasing," Duck said.

But Percy was worried.

He went to look for his friend.

He found Thomas all

alone in the shed.

"Are you all right,

Thomas?" he said.

"Yes.

"I'm sorry I teased you,

Percy," Thomas said.

"Duck was right.

"We all feel scared sometimes."

"And we all have to say sorry

sometimes," said his friend.

"So, come on, Thomas,

"we can watch the fireworks

just as well from here."

And he was right.
