3 Years passed, and Aqullia, was all by himself next to the mountain where the boulder was… he felt all alone, feeling isolated from the rest of the narrow gauge
engines. when suddenly a voice called out from behind him, causing sparks of golden colored magic dust to appear around him "w-what…" "Aquilla…" he chuffed back
Suddenly, going face to face with a young orange painted Diesel "Lady's calling for you…" "Lady… who is this lady…" asked Aquilla, "That would be me, said the
mysterious voice, just then out of the beautiful fairy dust, had returned a beautiful dark magenta engine, with a beautiful golden crown like funnel, and golden
lettering on her side that read "Lady." Aquilla had looked back at the engine feeling his cheeks flush red, he had never seen an engine as beautiful as she. "Dear, old
Aquilla, I heard about how you miss your sons and feel as though the other engines aren't in spite of you…" "T-that's right, my sons are named…" "Falcon, and
stewart!" exclaimed Lady "Exactly, but their names were changed into Sir Handel, and peter Sam…" "Falcon, misses you very deeply… he's been
very angry and constantly lashing out at the other engines…" Lady said sadly "So why have you brought me here…" asked Aqullia. "Your name
will no longer be Aquilla, you will be known by the other engines as Proteus, and you will have a new purpose!" "New purpose?! Proteus!" "Here
take this magical lamp, it'll give you that power!" just then sparkles flew all around him transforming Proteus's light green colored paint into a
magnificent sunburst yellow! "B-but I can't possibly make another engine's wishes come true, I'm only an old engine…" "you're more than an old
engine to me!" Just then, Lady had teleported away within a cloud of golden dust. Since that very day Proteus had met Skarloey, "w-what, you
can't possibly grant wishes, that's preposterous!" "Yes, I can just wait and see…" "no… I don't have time for this. I need to get back to work. "Just
please… make one wish!" "alright fine… I wish I could always look out for my other friends and siblings with the narrow gauge engines!" and so
skarloey's wish had come true, he became wiser among the engines, and so he had told the other engines about Proteus…" but unfortunately one
day Proteus was crossing an unsafe bridge in front of the moon… and because the foundation of the bridge wasn't holding together Proteus had
suddenly plunged into the swamps below with a loud splash, in the water he could only see darkness… and he had drowned… rusty had heard
about the sad news from Lady who was upset "I never got to tell him… I love you…" several years had passed where lady was silent, and never
returned to sodor, but one day she said to michael, "I miss my very best friend on sodor, and so using his power from god, he lifted Proteus out of
the water, and breathed life into him!" "I-I am alive!" said Proteus, "Proteus!" said Lady happily, "Lady! I'm so happy to see you too!" and so the t
wo engines had kissed happily under the moon.
5 years later the two engines had made a marriage agreement, and Michael had married them at muffle mountain. Later on Micheal had used his
powers to build engine children for them the first being timothy, the second being edom, and the third was… "Me!" said damsel "that's right!" said
michael.
