(WARNING: This chapter might be a slight remake of the episode "On site with Thomas," but I made some of my own changes just to make sure.)

Chapter 5: minions on site.

On a hot sunny day, Thomas had brought Margo, Agnes, and Avery to a special treat.

The minions were helping jack and his friends work on the foundation of a new countryside bank, and Margo, Agnes and Avery were each wearing a dark orange hard hat so they could visit the site.

Jack and Alfie were loading the trucks that were in front of Thomas with construction waist.

Jack was a red front loader with a tan cab, and he had the number 15 painted on his it. Alfie was a green excavator with the number 14 painted on his side. Both of them backed up and eased their buckets.

Jack: "Roasting radiators, it's hot."

Margo: "I know right, I really wish we had a vending machine full of water at this site."

Then Margo and Avery both used their hard hats as fans to cool theirselves off. But since Agnes knew she had black hair, she just kept wearing her hard hat.

Just then, Patrick rolled up. Patrick was a dark brown Mack NM 6-Ton 6x6 cement mixer with a big yellow-white stripe going all the way around his mixer. The bottom half of his cab was also yellow-white with the number 23 painted on each side.

Patrick: "Make way young ones, someone important coming through."

Jack: "What makes you so important?"

Patrick: "Concrete!"

Alfie: "We're important too."

Patrick: "But I'm the most important."

As Patrick drove away, Thomas, Jack, Alfie, Margo, Agnes, and Avery were all left feeling irritated about Patrick's attitude.

Avery: "Hmm, that major mixers got a screw loose."

Margo: "You're telling me."

Avery: "Anyway, Thomas and I are gonna go and take these trucks to whiff's waist dump. Catch ya guys later."

Agnes:(waves happily) "Bye bye!"

After Avery climbed into Thomas's cab, Thomas blew his whistle and puffed away pushing the trucks with him.

But Margo, Agnes, jack, and Alfie were all curious. Who was the most important?

Agnes went off to ask that exact question to Byron. Byron was a bright yellow bulldozer with a black cab. He also had a black exhaust valve on his hood.

Agnes: "Hey Byron, is Patrick really the most important?"

Byron: "Nonsense little one, Patrick can't lay his mushy concrete until I level the site. That makes me the most important."

Meanwhile, Alfie went to ask Oliver the excavator the exact same question.

Oliver: "Slow down, what's got you racing around in this heat?"

Alfie: "Patrick says that he's the most important. Is that true?

Oliver: "Oh my no, digging the foundation is the most important. Mm-Hmm, and that's what I do."

Meanwhile, Jack was asking Nelson the transportation truck the exact same question.

Nelson: "Transport. If there wasn't any transportation for the machines, there wouldn't be any construction. That makes me the most important."

Finally, Margo was talking with Ned the steam shovel somewhere next to the spot where All the machine's operators were having a coffee break.

Ned: "Our operators, they're in charge of safety. They're definitely the most important."

A few minutes later, Margo, Agnes, jack, and Alfie all met each other at the sites platform.

Jack: "I give up."

Alfie: "They can't all be the most important."

Margo: "We're gonna have to spread the word from what each of the machines think."

Early in the afternoon, Thomas and Avery had just returned from whiff's waste dump with some more trucks. After Avery skipped down from Thomas's cab, she inhaled the fresh air, then exhaled it.

Avery: "Ahh, feels good to be back from the stench of the dump, aye Thomas?"

Thomas: "You said it."

As Avery turned back towards the site again, she and Thomas saw that All the machine's were talking about who was the most important.

Avery: "Uhh, did we miss something?"

Meanwhile, a pair of troublesome dump trucks named Max and Monty were talking about the same thing while dumping a bunch of gravel over a cliff.

Max: "I'm the most important."

Monty: "I am! I can carry more gravel than anyone."

Max: "Hey, how about we have a contest on who can carry the most gravel the longest?"

Monty: "You're on."

So before their operators could stop them, Max and Monty went off to get even bigger loads. As they were down by the site, Max was over by Ned getting the biggest load he could carry.

Max: "More!"

Meanwhile, Monty was being loaded by Oliver with the same request.

Monty: "More!"

Oliver: "I think that's enough."

Monty: "Just one more scoop and hurry."

Oliver: "If you say so."

Half a second after Oliver dumped his last scoop, both Max and Monty sped away. They sped right past the platform that Thomas, Margo, Agnes, and Avery were on, and they left them coughing from the clear clouds of brown dust they were leaving behind. Kelly the crane was on the opposite side of the platform, and he tried calling out to them.

Kelly: "Max, Monty, slow down!"

Thomas, Margo, Agnes, and Avery watched as Max and Monty sped away from the site.

Margo: "This won't end well."

A couple minutes later, Max and Monty were now speeding down a road through the forest. The forest road was going along a cliff on the opposite side of the tracks next to the site, but Max and Monty forgot about that detail already.

Max: "I'm the most important."(pulls ahead of Monty)

Monty: "I am!"(pulls alongside again)

Max: "I am!"

Monty: "I am!"

But while they were arguing, they didn't notice that Patrick was coming in the other direction. And it wasn't long until they saw themselves coming towards each other.

Patrick: "Look out!"

Max and Monty: "Wooooh!"

Patrick was forced to veer hard right off the road. Max and Monty screeched to a stop once they were a couple yards past the spot where Patrick turned off the road.

Patrick crashed through a low wall of bushes, then he flew over the edge 5 yards over the platform where Thomas, Margo, Agnes, and Avery were at. The 4 friends immediately looked up at Patrick once he came flying off the edge.

Margo: "Woah!"

Avery: "What on earth!"

Then Patrick landed front first into the square pit of concrete he had made. Some of it even splattered on Thomas, Margo, Agnes, and Avery a little bit. Max and Monty had heard all the crashing from where they were on the road.

Max: "Flatten my fenders!"

Monty: "Not my fault!"

Patrick: "My beautiful concrete."

Agnes:(cleaning her tongue while panicking) "Ahh, it's in my mouth, yuck!"

15 minutes later, Lucy Wilde and Ms. Jenny heard about what happened. They both gave angry looks at Max and Monty.

Ms. Jenny: "You 2 should be ashamed of yourself!"

Lucy: "Yeah, you could have really hurt someone with your carelessness."

Ms. Jenny:(points towards Margo, Agnes, and Avery) "and look at those poor girls."

Max: "We were only trying to prove who was the most important."

Mrs: "You're all part of a team! There is no such thing as most important."

Agnes: "Not even for Patrick?"

Then Lucy and Ms. Jenny turned towards Patrick with looks on their faces mixed with anger and shock.

Ms. Jenny: "Patrick, were you bragging about concrete again!?"

Patrick: "Hmm, I might have said some things."

To be continued.
