Season 2: Timothy Saga
Episode 3 (18): Going Back
After Norman, Den and Dart got accepted to their vacation, everyone seems to have a lot of fun with them, when they see fit. Some of the nice diesels have large group chats and talk about what their adventures were like in the past.
Daisy: I must say, you three are incredibly lucky you didn't something more sinister or else you would've been in serious trouble.
Norman: Agreed Daisy, at least all three of us decided to change our ways before more trouble comes at our door.
Dart: Same here, I'm just glad you guys gave all of us a second chance.
Mavis: I'm just glad you three are okay. Speaking of which, has anyone heard a word about Boco.
Dennis: I'm sure he's fine. He's one tough son of a gun.
Norman: Anyway, what have you guys done in the past before all of us came here?
Mavis: You wanna know what we did in the past?
Dart: Sure Mavis, at least we can see what you guys did way before we came here?
Dennis: Speaking of which, did anyone have a word of what the Steam Team and Mane 7 are doing, while we're sitting on our behinds doing nothing?
Sour Sweet: I believe I know, last I've heard from Sunset, they along with the Steam Team are going on another camping trip.
Daisy: Who are you?
Sour Sweet: I'm Sour Sweet, and right behind me is Sunny Blaze, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest.
Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare & Lemon Zest: Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
Daisy: Nice to meet you ladies.
Sugarcoat: Hmm, from what I've heard from the Steam Team, you must be Daisy, Mavis and Dennis.
Daisy: That's correct.
Mavis: Spot on!
Dennis: Hey, what gave it away.
Sour Sweet: Hey you three, I'm glad you got released from jail and get to spend your vacation.
Den: Thanks Sour Sweet, uhh, what I mean is….
Dart: What he means is that we're treating this vacation like a tourist at a resort. This is paradise!
Dennis: More like lame paradise if you ask me.
Mavis: That's your opinion Dennis, but not to the rest of us.
Derek: Agreed Mavis.
Coming towards the group is Derek, along with Salty.
Salty: Arr matey, what do we have here, a couple of good looking sheilas we have around these here parts.
The girls chuckled from what Salty had said.
Mavis: Don't mind Salty, that's how he talks.
Daisy: Any word from Boco?
Derek: Sorry Daisy, I haven't heard anything from him. That is strange, very strange indeed.
Dennis: Can we worry about him later, and try to tell Norman, Den and Dart our past experiences.
Daisy: Sure thing, Mr. Sir-Lames-A-Lot.
Dennis: Whatever.
Mavis: Well then, why don't you start first Dennis.
Dennis: Ugh, fine, if you insist. When I was first brought to the island, Sir Topham Hatt expected me to do some "work" for him, delivering tiles to the children's school. But I'm known for being a lazy engine, and don't care about work, all I care about is myself. Until one faithful event, I got myself stuck in a ditch, broken down and I've also tricked Thomas on his day off. Man, how stupid I was, but I've learned my mistakes and now I'm really useful.
(It showed Dennis trying to deliver his trucks of roof tiles, but sticking with his laziness, he decided to trick Thomas multiple times not letting him enjoy his day off. And then, later on, he derailed and crashed into a ditch, which leads to Thomas rescuing him and delivering the tiles with Dennis to the school)
Salty: Aye matey, that's rough.
Dennis: I know right, and it still pains me to this day remembering that event.
Daisy: Well, at least yours isn't as embarrassing as mine.
Mavis: Oh I know what it is.
Daisy: Hush Mavis, ahem, well, I was talking to Toby that since he's capable of wheeshing away any stray animal on the tracks, I think he's full of himself and I even think I can do it myself with a toot of my horn, and when I encountered a bull named Champion, he wouldn't even budge, all because he was concerned of is his breakfast. I tried again, and instead of running off, he sniffed close to my face and I had enough.
Sure enough, Daisy was right.
(Daisy was traveling down her line and saw Champion grazing, she tried tooting her horn, but he didn't budge and that's when he sniffed at her face, is when she had enough)
Some of the others snickered and try to hold in their laughter. Daisy's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment since retelling that tale.
Derek: Man, that's really embarrassing.
Daisy: You have no idea.
Lemon Zest: Hey, you've heard of the recent arrival of Logan and Sam.
Salty: Hmm, those two don't come to mind, sorry mate.
Lemon Zest: Well, I did hear from talking to those two, since we're still getting to know them, that they helped build a new museum back on your island.
Dennis: Now that you mention it, I did catch a glimpse of two while I was passing by, but I didn't know that was what there building.
Lemon Zest: Huh, who was the last to see them?
Mavis: I believe it was Thomas, but he's away with the rest of his team, Starlight and the Mane 7 on a special campout.
Lemon Zest: Drat, so who else knows Logan and Sam?
Derek: Try asking Ryan, I think he'll be able to help you.
Lemon Zest: Thanks, let's go girls.
So the Crystal Prep students walked around downtown to see if they can find Ryan, and they did, at Canterlot High, hanging out with Stanley, Charlie and Rosie.
Sour Sweet: Maybe that guy can tell us where we can find Ryan.
Charlie: Ha, tell me if I'm hearing things, but is that the famous Crystal Prep students the girls we're telling us?
Sugarcoat: That's us, and you are?
Charlie: I'm Charlie, and this is Stanley and Rosie and Ryan himself.
Ryan: That's me, don't wear my name out.
Sunny Flare: So you're Ryan, I'm Sunny Flare, and this is Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest.
Ryan: Well it's nice to meet you ladies. So what brings you around here?
Sour Sweet: Well, we were wondering on if you know Logan and Sam before they left Sodor.
Ryan: Well, after they built the museum that Sir Topham Hatt ordered, Logan and Sam were called back to the Mainland, some of us were sad seeing them go, but we know that sometime they will return to Sodor.
Ryan wasn't lying.
(It showed Thomas leading Sam to the museum building site, and after the museum is opened, Logan and Sam were called back to the Mainland, while some of the engines were sad to see them go, but they will know that they will eventually come back to help them out again)
Sour Sweet: Amazing, I did not know that those two have to come back to the Mainland. It is sad, but I'm happy they're here in this world.
Stanley: That's right Sour Sweet, with them joining us, it will make this vacation a lot sweeter.
Rosie: Agreed, having them here will be a blast.
Lemon Zest: Well, I'm glad you guys are having fun with them around here. And I'm hoping I'm not intruding, but do you guys want to share some past moments in your history.
Rosie: Well, I did one embarrassing thing one time. When a carnival special was to be taken and I was so excited that I didn't know that Emily was supposed to be taking the special and I took half of the train, which led to coconuts blocking the level crossing, sugar covering Stepney and Ferris wheel seats crashing into Emily.
(It showed Rosie so excited to take the carnival special but she didn't know that it was Emily taking it, she took half of the train which led to coconuts blocking Bertie's path, pink sugar covering Stepney and Ferris wheel seats crashing into Emily)
The others cringed after hearing her say that.
Sunny Flare: Ooh, that must've been rough.
Rosie: You have no idea.
Stanley: Well, there is one thing I did that sort of got my friend Thomas very upset, I was doing all those nice things to everyone that I took some much charm away from Thomas, that I felt like I was replacing him.
Stanley wasn't lying.
(It showed when he arrived on Sodor, he was getting all the attention from all of Thomas' friends, pulling Annie & Clarabel and sleeping in Thomas' berth which made Thomas very upset)
Sugarcoat: That doesn't sound nice.
Stanley: Well, not really, turns out it was just a big misunderstanding.
Indigo Zap: Well, at least that's taking care of.
Lemon Zest: Ryan, what about you?
Ryan: Well, I helped Thomas stop a pirate by the name of Sailor John trying to steal the treasure and the pirate ship that he found, I saw this and I thought it was coming towards me until Thomas told me to stop it, and it sorta happened that the anchor hooked onto my buffer beam and with my might, I managed to pull the ship to the ground, leaving the pirate for Thomas to deal with.
Sour Sweet: (Gasps) No way?!
Ryan: Yes, way.
(It showed Ryan encountering the pirate ship and Thomas telling him to stop it, and he did, with the help of a loose anchor which hooked onto his buffer and with his might, he pulled the ship to the ground, leaving Thomas to deal with Sailor John)
Sour Sweet: Wow, that's amazing!
Ryan: It sure is, I was also happy that Thomas congratulated me for helping to stop that pirate.
Lemon Zest: I'm impressed, these past stories you engines are telling us, is actually rather enjoyable. I really want to hear the other's stories.
Ryan: If you want, I can come with you and introduce you to some of my friends.
Sunny Flare: That would be most appreciated!
The students and Ryan walked around town to see if they can find more of the engines, they eventually find another group of engines that are talking at a juice bar: Harvey, Arthur and Murdoch.
Ryan: Ladies, meet Harvey, Arthur and Murdoch.
Harvey: Hello, you must be those Crystal Prep students that the others were talking about right.
Sugarcoat: That's us.
Arthur: So what brings you around here?
Ryan: Well, Arthur, these fine ladies wanted to hear your past stories. They really like to hear them.
Murdoch: Really, how interesting?
Ryan: So, who wants to start?
Arthur: I'll start, around my first arrival on the island, I was tasked to take some cars to market, but I didn't take in account how troublesome the trucks are and I was steaming down the hill, I didn't see Duck waiting at the level crossing and I crashed into him from behind and have squashed fruit all over me.
(It showed pushing the four trucks down the line, everything was going smoothly until they played their tricks, as he was racing down the hill, he didn't see Duck at the crossing and crashed into him, spilling fruit all over the place)
Sunny Flare: Ooh, that's got to be the worst way to go.
Arthur: It was, but I managed to put that aside.
Murdoch: I guess it's my turn. While I was pulling a large goods train, I stumbled a flock of sheep blocking the line and my driver and fireman tried everything to get the blasted sheep off the line, but it didn't work and at the same time, I couldn't bear their baaing anymore, because I'm known for my peace and quiet, and the sheep were not helping one bit, well, until Toby decided to end this madness.
(It showed Murdoch pulling his long goods train, until he had to stop by a flock of sheep that strayed onto the track, the driver and fireman tried everything to get them to move, but it didn't work. Just as Murdoch was about to reach his breaking point, Toby came in to save the day)
Lemon Zest: Wow, I'm just glad Toby managed to be there to help stop your sheep problem.
Murdoch: Yes, and I thank him for that, but next time if there's a sheep on the line, I'm turning the other direction.
Harvey: Probably for the best. Well, I'm guessed I'm the last one, well, when I arrived on the island, the other engines thought I was strange, because of my crane arm design, and everyone thinks I'm not really useful because of my design, but they're soon proven wrong, when I have to help Percy from an accident he had, and after that, everyone respected me.
(It showed Harvey's first arrival to Sodor, and after that, everyone starts complaining about his design and that made him sad, thinking he's not really useful, until it all changed when Percy had an accident with the trucks, and Harvey was called to rescue him and he showed everyone, the railway board, even Percy how useful his design can be)
Sugarcoat: How rude.
Sour Sweet: But hey, they didn't open up to his potential, but I'm glad you showed them.
Harvey: Thanks, it's a pleasure talking to you girls.
Lemon Zest: The honor is all ours, so who's next.
Ryan: Hmm, I know, let's find the Pack! I'm pretty sure they have some good stories to tell you girls, follow me!
Sour Sweet: Oh man, he's such a gentleman, don't you think?
Sunny Flare: Agreed.
So Ryan led the girls on another trip across town to find the Pack, just then, Ryan was suddenly in a speed duct which caused to spin around and made him dizzy.
Ryan: Whoa, what the hell is that?
Caitlin: Oh sorry Ryan, we didn't see you there?
Ryan looked to see Caitlin and Connor riding two amazing motorcycles: Caitlin and Connor's are crotch rockets, one is maroon in color with a lavender stripe down the sides and the other is a turquoise with a sky blue stripe as well.
Lemon Zest: Whoa! Nice rides.
Connor: Thanks Miss Zest, since the townspeople are so nice in having us get these awesome rides, we just had to try them out, don't we Caitlin.
Caitlin: Agreed Connor, these babies rip!
Sunny Flare: Wow! Those motorcycles are awesome!
Indigo Zap: Hmph, not as fast as our beasties, I say the next time we come across you, we'll do a little race. You're in?
Caitlin & Connor: Oh, we're so in! Oh, we're so in!
Caitlin: Well, we'll see you girls next time! See ya Ryan!
The two speedsters sped away in their new motorcycles.
Ryan: See ya Caitlin & Connor! I see you girls gotten yourselves acquainted with the Earl's royal fleet.
Sugarcoat: Wait, they were part of his royal fleet?
Ryan: Well, not battleships royal fleet, more like, streamlined royal fleet.
Sunny Flare: That's so cool! I did not know they were royalty.
Ryan: Technically no, but they did deliver passengers from the Mainland, to Vicarstown and even deliver tourists to Ulfstead Castle!
Lemon Zest: Wow, more surprises from Sodor by the day! I just love it!
Ryan: Well, you'll find more when we get to the Pack.
Bertie: How about I gave you guys a lift.
They look to see Bertie come in with his bus.
Bertie: I'll give you guys a lift; The Pack are at the park.
Ryan: Perfect, now let's get going.
So they go inside Bertie's bus and they set off to the park. Once they went off the bus, they see what the Pack is up to: Jack and Alfie playing with a Frisbee, Kelly fishing in a pond, Oliver feeding the birds and an occasional squirrel, Byron lifted giant boulders, Patrick organizing different rocks, Buster and Nelson relaxing while watching nature, Isobella admiring her beauty and Brenda and Darcy skipping stones across a separate pond.
Indigo Zap: So this is The Pack?
Ryan: Yep, well minus two members, they're Max and Monty, troublesome dump trucks always looking to cause trouble, so they took the time to not invite them.
Sour Sweet: I see, this just keeps getting better and better every time!
Nelson: Well, when you put it that way, it does get better every time.
Buster: Ha, agreed.
Sunny Flare: So you must be Nelson and Buster if I remember correctly.
Buster: You guessed right young lady.
Lemon Zest: Wow, it's such a pleasure meeting you all.
Jack: The same for the rest of us, welcome to the Pack.
Indigo Zap: So you must be the leader of the pack.
Jack: Well, you can say that, though we mostly follow orders from our director Ms. Jenny, but she usually puts the leader title to me.
Kelly: Well sometimes Jack.
Jack: Kelly! Anyway, what brings you guys out here?
Sunny Flare: Well, we wanna know what past adventures have you guys done on Sodor.
Jack: Oh-ho boy, well, you've certainly come to the right place. I'm pretty sure everyone has past experiences they want to share, minus Brenda and Darcy, they're sort of new.
Darcy: We heard that Jack.
Jack: What, it's the truth. Anyway, who wants to start?
Kelly: I'll probably get this problem I had over with. There was one time that Ms. Jenny called me out to do something, when a freak gust of wind came and tipped me on my side. Since then, I've been afraid of wind every step of the way, until I learnt to conquer it while I was rescuing Isobella from falling off the road.
(It showed Kelly doing something for Ms. Jenny, after having an accident with a gust of wind, he's been afraid of it until he had to conquer his fear while trying to save Isobella)
Sour Sweet: Ooh, that must've been scary and brave at the same time.
Kelly: It sure was, Miss Sweet, but I know never to let wind take my mind of work.
Buster: I guess I could tell you one story that's always a good one.
Lemon Zest: Well, let's hear it.
Buster: Well, I was brought to help flatten the road for a racetrack, and Max and Monty decided it will be funny to race me, and I accepted the challenge. So the race began, they're out in front while I'm taking my sweet time, then out of their own stupidity, they crashed into a ditch and I kept on going until I won the race.
This was actually true.
(When Buster arrived, Max and Monty thought it will be funny to challenge Buster to a race and Buster accepted the challenge, and the race was underway, but their stupidity has led to them crashing into a ditch, while Buster went across the finish line)
The girls and Ryan were shocked out of their minds, they didn't think that was actually true.
Sugarcoat: There's no way, that is true.
Buster: It sure is Sugarcoat, I did win that race, didn't I Jack.
Jack: He sure did, and he wasn't even speeding, since he's a steamroller, get it.
Some of the Pack, the girls and Ryan got a laugh after what Jack said. Then, Alfie made a suggestion.
Alfie: Hey, why don't we have Jackie-boy here, say this past tale.
Jack: Oh crumbs.
Sour Sweet: What did you do Jack?
Jack: Umm, I rather not talk about it.
Alfie: Come on buddy, it doesn't hurt to let it out.
Jack: Ugh, fine, but you're gonna get yours one day. Ahem, well, how should I start. Well, it was around my first time being part of the Pack, I was so excited to be a part of the team that I didn't remember Ms. Jenny's saying "Safety first", and that in turn, caused me to tip off a rocky mountain slope and that almost made me lose my position to be part of the team, until I got redemption, by saving Thomas from a collapsing bridge.
(It showed Jack dropped off at the quarry, ready to start his first day of work, until he got too excited and caused him to tip off the quarry slope, which almost caused his position to be lost, until he got his audition for the Pack back again, due to him saving Thomas from a collapsing bridge)
Sunny Flare: Whoa! That was the most epic story I've ever heard in existence.
Jack: I'm glad you liked it, say, if you girls want, you can hang with us, it'll make the fun all the more enjoyable.
Lemon Zest: Can we Ryan? These guys seem like loads of fun!
Ryan: Hmph, go ahead, I like to stick around but….
Alfie: Uh-uh Ryan, we also have some fun plans with you, and it wouldn't be the same without you.
Ryan: Umm, oh what the heck?! Count me in! Cowabunga!
With Ryan joining the fun, along with the Crystal Prep girls, they all did things with the Pack in extraordinary ways: Watching butterflies with Brenda, playing football with Oliver and Byron, freeze-tag with Alfie and Jack or just relaxing on the ground watching the clouds with Nelson and Buster. For them, they were having the time of their lives. But where are the Mane 7, Starlight and the Steam Team, well, you'll have to find out in the next episode.
