Review from Chromestone (did I spell that right? I hope so):
I'm a bit confused... If Rosie and Gordon are supposed to be Thomas' sibblings, then why don't they know about his parents and the past? Is he supposed to be adopted? That would explain it, but otherwise the three of them would have the same parents, and probably a similar past, that is, if by any special circumstance the other two weren't separated from Thomas and their parents from an early age. Your writing and description style is very good, so keep up the good work!
First of all, thank you!
Second, please read my other story, 'Sodor's Precious Child' before this one.
'Behind the Most Cherished Smile is the Saddest Frown' is a sequel to that story.
But either way, is anyone confused about how Edward, Rosie, Gordon, and Thomas are siblings, but Edward, Rosie, and Gordon don't know about Thomas' past? Well, here's the explanation!
Before Thomas came to the island, (please read my other story, Sodor's Precious Child to understand) Edward, Rosie and Gordon all had different last names.
Edward Pearsall
Rosie Jardine
Gordon Cader
Meanwhile, with Thomas, he did have a last name with his parents, but when he was found by some other people, he refused to give a last name, so he was just- Thomas.
When he came to England, remember how the sailor introduced him?
"May I present, Thomas from England."
The man would have most likely used his last name, but he (the sailor) was never given Thomas' last name, so he only said Thomas.
In the end of 'Sodor's Precious Child', it is said that Edward, Rosie, and Gordon all legally became Thomas' older siblings. In other words, they adopted him. In doing so, all of them (Edward, Rosie, Gordon, and Thomas) became siblings, and then they all had the same last name.
Hill.
Now, all of their last names are Hill.
And that's how Edward, Rosie, and Gordon are Thomas' siblings, but don't know about their parents, or past.
