[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

Everyone knows

that trucks can be troublesome,

so when Rebecca took them out

for the first time,

the other engines

expected just that: trouble.

[whistle toots]

All aboard

for a big adventure!

"Chucklesome Trucks."

Oh!

Oh!

Nearly there.

[honks horn]

Good evening, team!

Now, I need a volunteer

for a very special

job tomorrow.

Oh, oh,

choose me, sir!

I haven't pulled a special

in ages!

Obviously, I'm the best

engine for the job,

whatever it is, sir.

Pick me, sir!

Pick me!

Ah, ah, ah.

I need an engine

to pull some trucks

across the island to Vicarstown.

Trucks, sir?

Troublesome trucks?

No, thank you.

Ah, Rebecca!

Thank you!

Oh, I'm so glad

there's an engine like you

working on my railway.

[laughs]

I remember the first time

I pulled the troublesome trucks,

Rebecca.

They pushed me



down Gordon's Hill,



shouting "On! On! On!"



I almost came off



the rails!

[laughing]

[Thomas]

Let's not forget the time

you let the troublesome trucks

run away with you, James...

[cackling]

Whoa!

[Thomas]

And pushed you



into some tar tankers!

[yells]

Ow!

[all cackling]

Oh.

[all laughing]

Yeah, don't remind me,

but since we're all remembering,

how about the time

the troublesome trucks

pushed Percy...

into the sea?



[laughs]

On! On! On!

[all cackling]

Oh!

Aww...

[all laughing]

These trucks sound

much more troublesome

than the trucks

where I come from.

[scoffs]

Indeed, Nia.

They are troublesome.

Rebecca, tender engines like us

are not meant

to pull trucks.

You need to be careful,

Rebecca.

No, don't worry.

I won't let a few trucks

bother me.

Night, everyone.

[sighs]

[Thomas]

We were all worried



about Rebecca taking



the troublesome trucks.

[all]

Hold back! Hold back! Hold back!

Oh.

Whoa!

[quavering]

Help!

Oh, no!

Oof!

Oh.

Ugh.

Huh?

Whoa!

[Thomas]

But Rebecca



didn't seem worried at all.

[sighs peacefully]

[whistle toots]

Aren't you worried about taking

the troublesome trucks, Rebecca?

Oh, no, Emily.

I'm looking forward

to the adventure.

All the other engines

seem to have

a funny or exciting story

involving the trucks.

I wonder what mine will be.

Thomas!

[whistle toots]

Toodle-oo!

Oh, no!

Now I'm running late.

[all laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, no!

The trucks are going

to push Rebecca off the line!

Whoo-hoo!

-[laughs]

-Look out, Rebecca!

Be careful!

See you, guys!

Look forward to working

with you again soon!

[laughs]

Huh?

What just happened?

[whistle toots]

Hi, Percy!

Ooh, that looks like fun!

[laughs]

[whistle toots]

Hi, Thomas!

Hello, sir!

[whistle toots]

Hello, James!

Ooh, that looks refreshing!

Oh, I don't know

what's got into you today,

but every single one of you

has been in some sort

of trouble.

-All of you except--

-[Rebecca] I'm slowing down!

-Huh?

-[Rebecca] I'm slowing down!

Oof!

[all gasp]

[laughing] Rebecca.

[all laughing]

Yay, me!

[whistle toots]

Have you ever expected

something to go wrong

before it happened?

One winter,



Duncan expected the points



to be frozen



and the sandbox to be empty.



He was wrong,



and with all his complaining,



he almost forgot



to be really useful.



Luckily for Luke,



he remembered



just in time.



When the other engines said



the troublesome trucks



would be trouble,



Rebecca ignored them,



and when the trucks



tried to tease her,



she just played along



and had a great time.



It was the other engines



who ran into trouble.

If you go looking for trouble,

you'll find it.

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go.

See you next time!
