Chapter 2
Lily: Meanwhile, across seas and oceans, over Muffle Mountain and hidden deep in a valley is Mr. Conductor's home town… Shining Time
(See Shining Time Station)
Mr. Conductor fixing the clock over Stacey's ticket booth.
Schemer tries to fix the Juke Box and places a hammer on top kneels down and accidentally bumps into the juke box and hammer falls on to his head.
Lily: Back on Sodor, Thomas was wondering what did Diesel 10 said.
(Thomas puffing across the viaduct)
Thomas: If Diesel has unfinished business, There's sure to be trouble right around the corner.
(At Tidmoth Sheds)
James is being annoyed by a fly
James: Boo, fly! Shoo, fly! That's it!
Thomas backing up to some buffers.
James: Better Still, buzz off!
Thomas hits the buffers loudly
Thomas: Botheration!
James: You weren't paying attention, Thomas. Lucky for you that the buffers were there.
Thomas: That's what buffers are for, to stop engines from crashing. Why are you in the sheds.
James: I got into trouble thanks to those freight cars and The Fat Controller told me to spend the rest of the day in the sheds.
(Diesel 10 sneaks behind Thomas)
Thomas: He is just trying to make this a better railway for steam engines, the harder we work the less he'll need diesels to help…
Diesel 10: HELP YOU!! HaHaHa, You'll always need help because steam engines are cowardly, cranky worn-out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly.
James: No we're not
Diesel 10: Yes you are
James: aren't
Diesel 10: ARE!!, Now I've come back to find a certain steam engine. I'm going to destroy her and dominate you then you'll be nothing but useless scrap.
(Diesel 10 moves his crane around to show threat and leaves)
James: Stick in the Mud
Thomas: We're really useful, You won't take over us and you won't destroy her. I'm off to fetch Mr. Conductor now.
(Thomas steams away)
James: What is Diesel talking about!
(Now at the entrance to Shining Time)
Patch is working on the welcome sign.
Patch: And I am done Mutt. I bet Shining Time has the best welcome sign compared to any other sign in our valley.
Mutt barks in reply
Patch: I'm glad you agree. Billy's old map sure helped a lot.
Mutt barks again
Patch: Yeah, he should be coming back now soon too. I'm pretty sure we are going to hear that train whistle now.
Billy blows the whistle on his train as he waves to two kids in a field.
He looks ahead to see a guy on a motorcycle cutting in front of his engine, The Rainbow Sun, at a railroad crossing ahead of him.
Billy ignores him stops at the station, gets off, and finds Patch.
Billy: Fine work, Patch
Patch: Thanks, by the way I've been looking at your map. What are these shadowy lines on here?.
(See map as Patch points to them)
Patch: They look like straight railroad tracks. But the only ones I know of are the ones that you travel on.
Billy: It is a mystery, it is that that make this land so…
Patch: Magical?
(Billy points at patch agreeing at him)
(Patch looks at his watch)
Patch: I'm almost late, I have to go to Muffle Mountain to clean Mr. Stone's yard.
Billy: Does Burnett Stone ever given you a smile?
(Patch gets up on his horse)
Patch: No, but my horse doesn't get scared when he is around him. I just think he is sad about something.
(Billy takes Mutt as they go off to meet Stacy)
Lily: But deep within Muffle Mountain, my grandpa kept a secret only to my grandma, Tasha.
(Burnett walking through the tunnels holding a flashlight)
(Burnett's flashback to when he was younger)
Young Burnett: One day, Tasha, I'm going to drive this engine and I'll give you a ride.
Young Tasha: Promise?
Young Burnett: I promise.
Lily: This engine was vital to the magic that held these worlds together, but only my grandpa knew.
(Outside Shining Time Station)
(Mr. Conductor is gardening a flower pot hanging outside the station)
(Billy was going inside he bumped into a guy that dressed like the one he saw at the crossing)
(The guy takes off his helmet to reveal Burnett Stone's old rival P.T. Boomer)
Billy: Boomer! What are you doing here?
Boomer: I've come here to meet some old friends and to buy the station.
Billy: Look here now. You better leave Burnett alone.
Boomer: Oh I will, I just want to know what's going on with him recently.
(Mutt growls at Boomer)
(Boomer takes a glare at Mutt and walks away but not without hitting the flower pot where Mr. Conductor quickly disappeared in gold dust)
(Billy kneels down and picks the flowers up and walk inside the station)
(Inside Shining Time Station)
(People moving in and out while Stacey is checking people's ticket and Schemer being just Schemer)
(Phone rings and Stacey picks it up)
Stacey: Hello, Shining Time Station Manager Stacey Jones speaking. Oh, yes, the 10:15 from Snarlyville to Shining Time is right on schedule. You're welcome.
(Stacey rings bell on her desk)
Stacey: The 10:00 to Cubby Corners is leaving now.
(Billy walks by)
Stacey: Hello Billy, I found this child's drawing in an old locker in the lost and found. Look at the signature, it is from Burnett Stone. I'm amazed that Burnett could have ever smiled like that.
Billy: Yeah, Burnett had a wonderful smile and he sure did enjoy railroading, too.
