[narrator] " Emily's Winter Party Special"

It was winter on the island of Sodor.

The fields were frosty,

the tracks were icy.

and the wind whistled and weeshed

through the engine's wheels.

But that didn't stop the engine smiling

because it was a very special day.

Tonight is the night of the Sodor winter festival.

I will choose one of you to be this year's party engine.

[narrator] Emily was excited.

Each year, the party engine was covered with lights.

It delivered a train full of presents for the children.

It was a very special, special.

The job will be given to which ever engine

is the most helpful today.

Henry, you must pick up the brass band from Natford station.

Thomas, you must collect the party cakes from the bakery.

Yes, sir.

Right away, sir.

Please, sir.

What should I do?

You must wait here, Emily.

I will let you know if there is a job for you.

[narrator] Emily was very disappointed.

It's not long to the party and if I can't be helpful,

I won't be chosen to pull the present train.

[narrator] Just then a big gust of wind whooshed

and whipped The Fat Controller's

top hat from his head.

He was surprised.

My hat. Come back.

Oh dear, oh dear.

I can't go to the party without my hat.

[narrator] Suddenly an idea flew into Emily's funnel.

Please, sir.

I will find your hat.

I am very good at finding things.

[narrator] The Fat Controller thought this

was a splendid idea.

Thank you, Emily.

That would be very helpful.

Very helpful, indeed.

[narrator] Emily was excited.

Maybe she would pull the present train after all.

So Emily puffed quickly awake.

Emily clickety-clacked along the track.

My friends will be very happy to hear my news.

I must tell them first.

[narrator] So Emily stopped looking

for the Fat Controller's hat

and started looking for her friends.

Emily puffed up to a crossing.

Some children were building a snowman nearby.

They were having fun.

Then Thomas puffed up.

He was pulling the party cakes.

Hello, Emily, you look pleased.

Hello, Thomas.

The Fat Controller has sent me to look for his top hat.

If I find it, he might make me the party engine.

That would be much more helpful

than delivering party cakes.

Do you think you'll find it?

Of course, I'm Emily.

I'm very good at finding things

Then you probably will be given the winter party special.

Yes, I probably will.

[narrator] That made Emily's fire box fizz.

I must go and tell Henry my good news.

Goodbye, Thomas.

[narrator] So Emily puffed off along the track.

[trains whistle]

Hello, Emily.

I'm taking the brass band to the party.

If I hurry, I might be chosen to pull the present train

Sorry, Henry.

But I will probably be given that job.

Oh, you must have been very helpful.

I was.

I mean, I will be the fat controller has lost his top hat.

I'm going to find it.

Do you think you will?

The sun is setting.

Of course, I will. I'm Emily.

I will definitely find it.

Then you will definitely get to pull the present train.

See you at the party, Emily.

[train whistle]

[narrator] Emily weeshed along

the track, she was happy.

She was sure that she would be given

the winter party special.

I will be the star of the party.

[narrator] Soon, Emily reached the Steam Works.

An idea popped in her pistons.

The sun has almost set if I collect the present train now,

it will save me time later.

[narrator] So Emily chuffed cheerfully

into the Steam Works.

Emily, my friend, what can I do for you?

I am the winter party engine.

I've come to collect the present train.

Then you have come to the right place.

We will have you ready in no time.

[narrator] So Emily was coupled up to the present train.

Workmen decorated her with lights and holly.

She looked wonderful.

Perfect. Now you are ready for the party.

[narrator] Emily tingled from foot plate to fender.

You must have been very helpful

to be given such a special, special

Rattle my rods.

I still need to find the Fat Controller's hat.

[narrator] Emily puffed out of the Steam Works

as fast as her wheels would work,

but the sun had gone down.

It was nighttime and it was very dark

Fizzling fire boxes.

I shall never be able to find the top hat now.

[narrator] Then there was trouble.

The Fat Controller arrived on Thomas.

He looked stern.

Emily, why are you decorated to be the party engine?

And where is my hat?

[narrator] Emily felt terrible.

I'm very sorry, sir.

I thought I had been the most helpful engine

but I forgot to find your hat.

I don't deserve to be the party engine

Thomas, because you were so helpful

delivering the party cakes.

You may pull the present train.

Thank you, sir.

Emily, you must go back into the Steam Works

and have the decorations removed.

Yes, sir.

[narrator] In the Steam Works, all the lights

and decorations were taken off Emily

and hung on Thomas.

Thomas puffed proudly pulling the present train.

His light sparkled, shimmered, and shown.

They lit up trees and hedges, fields and furrows.

But Emily didn't notice.

She was thinking about the Fat Controller's hat.

Thomas and Emily stopped at crossing.

Emily noticed that it was where she had met Thomas earlier.

This is where the children were building their snowman.

[gasps] Thomas, look.

[narrator] And there by the side of the tracks

was the snowman.

He had a carrot for a nose,

a scarf wrapped around his neck,

and sitting on top of his head,

the Fat Controller's top hat.

I found the Fat Controller's hat.

[narrator] At the party,

children laughed and played.

They were having a wonderful time,

but the Fat Controller wasn't happy.

[Fat Controller groans]

Just then, Thomas and Emily weeshed

into the town hall square.

The children cheered and cheered

to see the present train.

Please, sir, we have a present for you.

For me?

My hat.

Welcome back, old friend.

[narrator] The Fat Controller smiled a big smile.

Thank you, Emily.

You are indeed a very helpful engine.

[narrator] Emily felt so proud.

It made her boiler bubble.
