I was waiting for this, and its here. The final chapter (Not counting the epilogue) of Thomas and Friends: High School Adventure is here. Please enjoy.

Thomas could not believe it. He was actually staring in the mirror, tying his tie once more. Only this time, it wasn't for the Christmas celebration, oh no. It was for his graduation. Timothy was downstairs, having managed to find an old room in their house to stay in until he could find his own place, courtesy of his granddaughter, their mom. He never thought it would come to this, and in all honesty, the day would be bitter sweet. Their speeches would be recorded. Truth be told, he hoped it wasn't true that they would be in the newspaper. Gordon said that his worry was not necessary, and Edward said he was nervous too. It made him feel better, and he decided to just let the day go by.

The church that they would be graduating in was officially open at 4:00, and the reason was so they could talk to the 11th graders and give them advice for getting through the year. Renee and Kayla were sad that Arry and Murdoch had to leave, but they would call every day they could at college. Luke and Millie were now a couple, which, frankly, was something everyone saw coming 123.54 miles away.

Why such specific numbers, you ask? I don't know, at this point the author probably bought a 2-liter Mountain Dew with a side of Doritos.

Thomas was excited and anxious. They were now sitting in the pews that the church choir would sit in on Sundays, and this was surprisingly the church that Thomas regularly attended, Sodor Baptist. The speeches went really well, but Thomas was prejudiced on who gave the best. He obviously loved his brother's speeches, as he would be stupid if he didn't. However, Percy and Arry helped him in the war against Diesel 10's forces. Lady was his girlfriend, and that made him want to choose her more than anything. The rest were very good as well, but he could see Bill, Ben, Arthur, and Boco had something planed for a big send off. Finally, it was time for Thomas to give his speech.

Mr. C: And now, last, but definitely not least, one of the most faithful and prominent students of this school, Thomas Awdry! Give him a hand everyone!

Gordon*whisper*: Go out there and knock em down little bro.

Thomas: Will do.

Thomas stood up and was greeted with a round of cheers and applause. Timothy and his mom were in the crowd, and Timothy looked like hi face would explode if he stopped smiling, which Thomas found funny. His mom had her hand on her heart, and he saw her mutter, "My college boy..."

Thomas: Thank you all so much. I don't deserve anything here tonight. I don't deserve a good school, a diploma, nor the ability to go to college. However, I am blessed with all of those things, and today, I stand before you as a teenager who is grateful to be alive. My friends, Percy and Arry, my brothers, Edward and Gordon, and my girlfriend, Lady are the only reason I can even see the light of day right now. Had I not have had them by my side, I would surely have died by Diesel 10's hands. I will dearly miss every piece of land on the Sodor High School ground, but I will remember everything about it. I encourage anyone from 3-18 years old to come here with full truth and honesty. It was a true blessing to come here all these years, and I thank everyone her, and God bless you all. That is my farewell speech.

But before everyone could applaud, Mr. C came up to Thomas.

Mr C: You know what to do Thomas.

Thomas smiled cheekily as Mr. C walked back down the stairs. He extended his arm, microphone in hand.

He dropped the mic.

Arthur: HE DROPPED THE MIC PEOPLE!

Boco: YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

Bill: WE JUST GRADUATED EVERYONE!

Ben: *blows a kazoo*

Lady, Gordon, Edward, Percy, and Arry ran beside Thomas, and they saw a camera pointed at them. They all smiled, as everyone in the church was either applauding or screaming at the top of their lungs. It was in the paper the next morning, and here was the headline:

THOMAS AWDRY AND FRIENDS GRADUATE AS THE HEROES OF SODOR HIGH!

Well guys, your shout outs are in the next chapter, I'll leave you to guess the epilogue's focus. ;)
