Heyo Guys,

This story runs concurrent with most of my other stories. Everything other than "SODOR" Is connected to this. If you haven't any of my stories, I recommend you read the short summary at the start of "Brain and Brawn". While I try to explain everything in the story I do miss out some parts. So therefore you should give that a quick read before going into this.

Hope you Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Posh Party

This Chapter Takes place at the same time as : Safety and Fear Chapter 2. If you want to see Henry and Belle's side of the story, you can read thay too. Enjoy.

Gordon sat in his kitchen and turned on the television. He grabbed the financed from the bar out of his bag and began fill in the details. Gordon didn't enjoy business work. But it was easy, and it payed well. He had always envisioned himself a star, But that never quite took off.

His phone began to buzz. He flipped it over, so see Henry was calling him.

"Yes Henry?"

"Hey Gordon, I'm going to this really fancy party tonight, and they wanted you to come too."

"You, Inviting me to a fancy party, Isn't it the other way around."

"Usually. Get dressed up by 5:00, I'll pick you up."

Rather than replying Gordon hung up the phone.

He sighed to himself. Something didn't seem quite right.

He looked at himself in the mirror as he tightened his yellow tie.

His dark blue suit shone slightly in the light, and his red dress shirt shone through the blue. He threw a hand through his short black hair, before grabbing his keys and heading out the front.

When he got outside he saw a limousine waiting for him. This thing just got more and more suspicious. He jumped in the limo to see Henry and Belle sitting in very fashionable clothes.

"What's going on?" Gordon asked, a sour look on his face.

"You'll see. It'll be fun." Belle chuckled.

"It's your kind of thing." Henry said.

Gordon continued to ponder what was happening. They talked about life in the limousine ass they travelled across sodor.

Eventually the limo driver opened the window between them.

"Alright you lot, this is your stop. Look your best."

As Gordon stepped out of the limo, he saw a long red carpet with loads of people and news anchors all screaming to anyone walking down the strip. Instinctively Gordon threw on a smile and played his part. Henry palmed him a sharpie as he took Belle's arm and walked down the red carpet. Before Gordon could ask what was happening, he was gone.

He walked along the carpet waving and greeting other people on the carpet. Before long a reporter from the crowd called his name out. "GORDON! Come and say a few words."

He decided to play along and talk.

"Yea sure."

"It's great to see you here, it's been a while since you've surfaced."

"Yes it has, I've been doing my own sort of thing recently." gordon said humbling.

"Can we expect any new music from you soon?"

"Not likely. I'm co-running a bar in Ffarquhar at the moment. It's called The Railyard, Check it out." He said persuasively, looking into the camera.

"Awesome, Thanks for your time Gordon."

"Pleasure." Gordon said before continuing down the red carpet.

He continued down until he heard a voice he knew too well.

"There he is! Gordon!"

"How do I know this is your doing Scott." He said turning around to his older brother.

"Hey, If I asked you wouldn't have come." Scott said putting a hand on his shoulder before dragging him to the photo section. His suit was similar to Gordon's, but royal green and without the tie. His hair was styled into a point at the top, unlike his younger brother who just had well kept hair. "Now smile for once will you."

They got heaps of photos taken before entering the main building.

After they were out of the spotlight, Scott stopped and held his brother's shoulders.

"I know you don't like these things, but I really wanted you to come to this one."

"What is this?"

"It's Sodor's Elite Comunion. It happens every leap year, and the highest of the community."

"Doesn't sound like the kind of thing you get a 'plus three' too."

"I don't, you're my plus one."

"Then what about Henry and Belle?"

"Belle's here for bravery in her fire service." Scott explained. "She didn't tell you?"

"They didn't tell me anything." Gordon grumbled.

Scott just laughed. "Lighten up will you. Have some fun, even though we tricked you into coming."

"So what I can drown in your shadow?"

"You co-own one of the most popular small bars in Sodor… Make your own presence."

Scott nudged his brother before disappearing into the crowd after some women.

Gordon sighed and whispered to himself. "Oh the indignity…"

Gordon walked around the place. It was large, and fairly crowded.

As he walked around he talked to various stars. All of which were surprised to see him, as he hadn't attended any public appearance in a few years. Eventually he want to the buffet and grabbed a glass of champagne. When he finished his glass a young woman came up to him. "Hi. Are you Gordon Gresley?"

"Yes that would be me." He said extending a hand. She wore a bright yellow dress, and an orange necklace. She was of a similar height to him, and she looked in good shape.

"I'm Rebecca Oliver." She said. They began to move away from the food as rebecca struck up conversation. "So what brings you back into the spotlight."

"My brother asked me to come, He loves these sort of things."

"And you dont?"

"I hate his shadow." He said bitterly. "So Rebecca, What do you do?"

"I'm a Journalist. I try to look for the best in people. It's a habit."

"Sorry to disappoint. But there isn't much to me."

"Can't you at least let me try first."

Gordon scoffed. "Alright. Ask away then."

"What's the thing you're most proud of?"

Gordon thought about it for a while. "My Designing. I do interior design as a hobby."

"Have you designed any buildings?"
"A few. Biggest one's been my bar though."

"The Railyard?"

Gordon was stunned she knew it.

"Yea. I go there now and again. It's quite nice."

"Oh.. Well thank you." He said unsure if he should say anything else. "How did you hear about it?"

"I had an interview with your brother, and asked what you were doing with your life, since no one had seen you in so long."

Gordon was shocked she even cared to ask, in the first place.

"Alright. I best be on my way. See you around Gordon."

"Sure. See you 'round."

As she left Gordon Thought to himself. 'Maybe this party wasn't such a bad idea.'

Hey Guys, I hope you enjoyed that.

More stuff coming soon. See you then!
