07x12 - Rheneas and the Roller Coaster

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat playful music)

(peaceful flute music)

- [George] Rheneas is

a brave little engine

(train whistle)

who enjoys working

in the mountains on

the Island of Sodor.

Even though he is little,

Rheneas loves feeling like

a really useful engine.

One day, Sir Topham Hatt

came to see Rheneas.

"I have a very important

job for you," he boomed.

"An important job?"

cried Rheneas,

"Oh thank you sir!"

"You are to take some school

children up into the mountains.

You must make sure they

have a wonderful time

and are back in time

for their lunch."

"Yes sir," said Rheneas.

But he was worried.

He wasn't sure he was good

enough to make the trip special.

(train chugging)

When Rheneas arrived

at the station,

the children and their teacher

were waiting on the platform.

(peaceful flute music)

"How am I going to make the

children's day really special,"

he said to Rusty.

"You know the mountains

better than any engine,"

said Rusty.

(whistle)

But Rheneas wasn't sure his

best would be exciting enough.

(train chuggs)

He felt like a very

little engine indeed.

Sir Topham Hatt had told

Rheneas' driver to point

out all the beautiful

sights along the way.

"This is Sodor Castle,"

called his driver.

"It is very special

and important."

Rheneas saw the

castle every day.

He didn't think it was

special or important.

"I must think of

something exciting to do,"

he puffed to himself.

"This is the valley

view," said his driver.

(slow trombone music)

(train chuggs)

"And here's the viaduct."

(children ooh)

Rheneas was still unhappy.

The trip didn't seem

wonderful to him at all.

"Must be special, must

be special," he puffed.

Meanwhile, Rusty was working

on the Rocky Ridge Line.

Heavy rains had washed the

ground from under the tracks.

"These lines are too bumpy

and uneven," said the foreman.

"The tracks must be

closed for repairs."

(train chuggs)

(peaceful flute music)

"Must be special,

must be special."

Rheneas was still trying

to think of something

that would make the

children's trip special.

He didn't know the

linesman had forgotten to

switch the points.

(train whistles)

(ominous flute music)

Suddenly Rheneas was

on the wrong track!

"Oh no, this line is

closed for repairs!

Bust my buffers!"

chuffed Rheneas.

"Be careful," cried Rusty,

"the tracks are very bumpy!"

Rheneas whooshed down the

mountain like a roller coaster.

The children cheered.

(childred cheering)

(excited violin music)

Rheneas puffed up the Rocky

Ridge with all his might.

His coach clattered and bumped

and bounced along behind.

And its children ooh'd and ah'd.

(children ooh)

Rheneas chuffed and puffed

as hard as he could.

He steamed across

the Trestle Bridge.

He was going so fast the

teacher nearly lost her hat!

Rheneas splashed

under a waterfall.

The children laughed happily.

(children cheer)

And the teacher

covered her eyes.

(exciting orchestral music)

At last, they could

see the station.

Rheneas was very

tired and worried.

What would Sir Topham Hatt say?

"Whew," said the teacher,

"just in time for lunch."

"It was the best

school trip ever,"

cried the children.

Sir Topham Hatt wasn't

cross with Rheneas,

he was happy too.

"You gave the children

a wonderful trip.

You really are a

very useful engine."

"Oh thank you Sir,"

puffed Rheneas proudly.

Rheneas didn't feel like

a little engine anymore.

(children cheer)

(upbeat playful music)
