Prologue
An old man and a young girl were sitting on boxes in a small workshop in the heart of Muffle Mountain; the sky was dark and moon shone brilliantly in the night. They were talking to the pink and purple tank engine on the rails beside them.
"Are you sure that you will be alright Lily?" The engine asked the girl.
"Yes, I will be fine, stop worrying Lady its only high school. And besides, Patch is going too so I will at least have one familiar face to talk to." Lily replied.
Lady sighed "I know it's just that, I am a little skeptical about this 'high school' you are talking about." The old man, whose name was Burnett Stone, chuckled "You're skeptical about everything that goes on outside Muffle Mountain, Lady." Lady blushed. "Anyway I have to take Lily back home now, have a good night Lady."
"Good night, Burnett. Good night Lily."
"Good night, Lady. Sleep well!"
As Lady watched her two protectors walk out of the workshop, she closed her eyes ready to fall asleep. But before she could, she felt a strange disturbance. Lady had never felt something like this but the one thing she did know was that something was going to happen.
And it would involve her, her protectors, Sodor… and another world.
She didn't know how or why it would involve another world, she just, did.
"Thomas," Lady whispered "Please be safe." She succumbed to the peacefulness of sleep wondering what would happen to the island she protected.
