On Sodor, Percy was one of the more loved engines. His charm really made people love him so much. He's lived a good life on Sodor. He works hard and gets along with his friends, especially his sweet love James. But he does have some straws, mainly that he gets into a lot of accidents and can get scared pretty easily. But in the past few years, he has been able to let those problems get past him, mainly thanks to help and support from James and his driver Patrick.

Patrick is the twin brother of Tyler, and is seen as the more goofy brother. Despite that, he loves his job so much. He loves singing, dancing, and of course he loves Percy. Him and Percy have a great relationship like many of the others. The two can get into some spits, but they're usually able to fix those thanks to their kindness.

Whenever Percy ends up in trouble Patrick is always there to help his small brave engine. Patrick at this point even sees Percy as a son to him.

Today, Percy was excited to travel with animals all day, and he would be taking them to and from the zoo. Animals was his favorite, he even made some animal friends.

At the zoo, Percy was waiting for the animals to get boarded. Patrick was in his cab writing something.

" Hey Patrick? " - Percy

" Yeah buddy. " - Patrick

" Can you tell me where the biggest zoo in the world is? " - Percy

" You'll need to ask Ginny that, cause she has all the brains. " - Patrick

" You have a phone. " - Percy

" That is broken. " - Patrick

Percy rolled his eyes and laughed, he was still excited.

After all the animals got boarded, Percy was given the signal, but not all the cars were secured. But Percy was so excited and ready already that he started to move.

" Wait! Hold up. " - stationmaster

Percy heard and stopped, thankfully not too hard. But his stop did cause one the cars to break a bit, but no one noticed.

" Sorry. What happened? " - Percy

" Not all the cars are ready yet. " - stationmaster

Percy blushed in embarrassment.

" Don't worry buddy. Those animals will still enjoy the ride. " - Patrick

Percy smiled again and waited for all the cars to be secured. Once they were, he was given a thumbs up and Percy whistled and headed off. But one of the cars did have a broken hole on the side of it, and the stationmaster noticed once Percy left and tried to scream out for him, but was too far away.

Percy was on his way to the 1st station, and that hole in the car was noticed by the pigs and chickens that were in that specific car. The hole was pretty big enough for those animals to jump out from.

Percy whistled 3 three times and that caused a pig, a chicken, and another pig to jump out. No one saw it.

Percy then arrived at the 1st station. Animals from other cars were taken in and things were looking very good.

As Percy was waiting, a bird came down from a tree and ended up landing on Percy's nose. He was shocked but also giggled. Patrick saw and was perplexed.

" Animals really like you Percy. You're like Snow White, except you're not painted white, so Snow Green. " - Patrick

" I'd rather just go with white. " - Percy

" Copy that. " - Patrick

The bird on Percy's nose chirped and flew away nicely.

" Good bye . " - Percy

" How do you know it's a mister? " - Patrick

" I know a lot more about animals than you think Patrick. " - Percy

" Well perfect with me. " - Patrick

Once all the animals were brought out, the stationmaster at this station noticed the hole in the pig and chicken car. However, he thought it was too small for any of them to escape, so he ignored. But he didn't know that 3 had in fact escaped.

" All good. " - stationmaster

" Awesome. " - Percy

He whistled and started moving again, but again not all the cars were secured yet and the stationmaster and Patrick yelled and whistled and Percy stopped. Just like before, another car ended up bumping hard and caused a hole to be formed, this time in the car with rabbits and sheep.

" Sorry. I did it again. " - Percy

" It's ok Percy. I get your excitement. If I could have come near me like that, i'd do the same thing. " - Patrick

" You're so funny Patrick. " - Percy

" Thank my girlfriend. " - Patrick

Percy giggled again and waited for the cars to be secured and then soon once again take off. Once he left, the stationmaster saw coming towards the station, the 2 pigs and chicken that had escaped and went to get them.

And this was only the beginning.

As Percy continued on with his animal delivery. More animals ended up escaping. Pigs, chickens, sheep, and rabbits. And him and Patrick didn't even see any of them. But instead, stationmasters, civilians, and other engines would end up finding them and scrambling to get them together, and that wasn't easy.

It was then when Percy arrived at his final stop, and that's where those 4 animals were to be dropped off. Now their were only about, 9 of those animals left, and their were at the beginning 30.

Percy arrived at the final station and whistled.

" I'm here. " - Percy

" Is that your catchphrase now? " - Patrick

" No, I just wanted to say that. " - Percy

" OK. I just keep that written somewhere. " - Patrick

Percy smiled and saw the stationmaster go to the car, and what he saw was almost jaw dropping.

" Um, Percy? Why are their like only 10 of them? " - stationmaster

" What do you mean? " - Patrick

" 10? " - Percy

" Yeah. Actually no, their's 9. Where are the rest of them? " - stationmaster

Percy started panicking in his mind.

" Oh no, oh no. What did I do? " - Percy

" I'm sure you did nothing wrong buddy. " - Patrick

He stepped down and checked for the problem, but Percy was still worried.

Patrick looked at the cars and tried to find the problem.

" Looks fine to me. " - Patrick

" You sure? " - Percy

He went to his knees and tried to look under the car. As he got closer, a dang chicken sneezed in his face and Patrick fell backwards.

" Ahh! Since when do chickens sneeze? Great, now i'm gonna get chicken pox. " - Patrick

He was angry and then saw that chicken get out of the car.

" How did you..." - Patrick

He looked at the side of the car, and saw the hole.

" Ah hah. " - Patrick

" What? " - Percy

" I found it. Their's a hole in this car, and..., in the other one too. " - Patrick

" How did it get there? " - Percy

" Maybe it's been here for a while. " - Patrick

" I don't think so, cause why would i be allowed to pull a broken..." - Percy

" What is it? " - Patrick

Percy just thought of him taking off those two times and causing the cars to bump into each other, he thought maybe that's what caused the holes.

" It was me. " - Percy

" Why? " - Patrick

" I caused those holes, and now all those animals are gone and probably scattered around the island. " - Percy

" Oh buddy, you can't really think that..." - Patrick

" I screwed up again Patrick. I got too excited and just caused a huge problem, again. " - Percy

Percy remembers a few years ago when a bunch of sheep had escape from his cars and got a big delay. This was the same, except with more animals and a bigger delay.

" Come on buddy. It's not your fault. " - Patrick

" Yeah it is. I always do this. " - Percy

" No, you do not. " - Patrick

He put his hand on Percy's cheek.

" I've made some mistakes too, but i always just forget about us, cause they don't effect me at all. " - Patrick

" Are you sure? " - Percy

" Yes. And we all cause confusion and delay at some points, but those don't mean anything. Me and you have so much fun working and those things i don't let hurt me, and you can't let them either. " - Patrick

" Thanks Patrick. I won't let them effect me. " - Percy

" Atta boy. " - Patrick

He pinched Percy's cheek and the two giggled,

" But what are we going to do about the escaped animals? " - Percy

" That is why we have a search and rescue team. " - Patrick

He pointed in the sky and saw Harold fly over them.

" Hopefully we get all of them back. " - Percy

" We will. You are their king. " - Patrick

" Patrick. " - Percy

He blushed and then the two heard Thomas's whistle and he found the two.

" Hey. Did you two lose some animals? " - Thomas

" Snow Green here did. " - Patrick

" Patrick, white. " - Percy

" Sorry. " - Patrick

" Well, i've got them all here for you. " - Thomas

" Really? " - Patrick and Percy

Annie and Clarabel's doors opened and out came all the missing animals. Pigs, chickens, rabbits, and sheep, and they all went to Percy.

" Oh thank you. It was a wreck in there. " - Annie

" Now all I can hear is oink and bah. " - Clarabel

Thomas laughed and the animals went to Percy and surrounded him.

" See. I told you you were the animal king. " - Patrick

" Ok maybe I am. " - Percy

The 3 friends laughed again and soon all the animals would be brought back home safely thanks to their leader, Percy.

Percy also thanked Patrick for his kind words on not letting mistakes get in our ways.

The end.
