( At the diesel works Norman was having his engine repaired when Paxton rolled in )
Paxton: Hello Norman broken down again?
Norman: Sure have Paxton I really need to have my engine fitted in properly.
Paxton: Well that's too bad I'm sure the people here will give you a new engine that never breaks down.
Norman: I hope so say this reminds of another diesel who also breaks down quite often.
Paxton: Who?
Norman: Derek.
Paxton: That man who created that silly cat guy?
Norman: No not that Derek I'm talking about the diesel engine who used to work at the china clay company with Bill and Ben but since then he's gone missing.
Paxton: Well someone should go find him what about you're brother Dennis?
Norman: Not him he's being his usual self.
( Dennis was snoozing in a shed )
Dennis: ( Snoring ) Don't want to work.
Paxton: Well in that case I'll go and search for him the search for Derek begins ( honks horn )
( Paxton left the diesel work to find Derek the first stop he looked was the docks )
Salty: Ahoy there Paxton what brings you here?
Paxton: Hi Salty I'm looking for a diesel called Derek have you seen him?
Salty: Sorry matey I'm afraid I haven't.
Paxton: What about you Porter have you seen a diesel called Derek?
Porter: No I haven't there have been lots of diesels here before but I never saw one called Derek.
Paxton: Well thanks anyway maybe I should try the blue mountain quarry.
( The next stop was the blue mountain quarry )
Skarloey: Hello Paxton what are you doing here?
Paxton: I'm looking for a diesel called Derek have you seen him?
Skarloey: No I never heard of him.
Paxton: I'll ask the other narrow gauge engines.
( Paxton asked Mighty Mac )
Paxton: Um Mighty Mac have you seen a diesel called Derek?
Mighty: We've worked at this quarry for years.
Mac: But we never saw a diesel called Derek.
( Paxton asked Duncan )
Paxton: Duncan do you know a diesel engine called Derek?
Duncan: Derek? Ugh if I've seen a Derek then its that man who created that ugly cat suit guy bleurgh.
( Lastly Paxton asked Freddie )
Paxton: Freddie have you seen a diesel named Derek?
Freddie: Rusty is the only diesel I know around here but Fearless Freddie has never seen a diesel called Derek.
Paxton: Well thanks anyway I guess I should just give up.
( Paxton left the blue mountain quarry )
Paxton: I'll guess I'll never find Derek then.
( Suddenly Paxton saw a diesel he never saw before in a siding )
Paxton: Oh hello there what happened?
Diesel engine: I've broken down my teething troubles are at my engine again.
Paxton: Oh dear don't worry I'll take you to the diesel works to be repaired oh by the way what's your name?
Diesel engine: Derek my names Derek.
Paxton: ( Gasps ) You're it.
Derek: I'm what it?
Paxton: You're the diesel engine Norman has been talking about I've been looking everywhere for you Norman said you were missing for ages and now I found you.
Derek: Well thanks for finding me can you take me to the diesel works to be mended.
Paxton: I sure can.
( So Paxton shunted Derek to the diesel works where Norman was still being repaired )
Norman: You're back Paxton who's that with you?
Paxton: This is Derek the diesel you've been talking about earlier.
Norman: Why hello Derek I'm glad Paxton finally found you.
Derek: I sure am once I'm repaired I can go back to the china clay company and work with Bill and Ben.
( Paxton was very glad that he found a lost friend )
The end
