So, The Fat Pimp's like, "Alright, ya dumb whores, I hope you learned your lesson. Otherwise, I'll have to send you somewhere even worse than Shed Seventeen."

And they're like, "What could be worse than that?"

"It's somewhere deep within the annals of the show's fandom. All three of you will plunge into an endless abyss of darkness where no one will hear you scream, and you'll be forced to live your worst nightmares while the demons of the darkness take pleasure in your pain and fear."

"You mean the smutty fanfic section?"

"Pretty much."

So, Sir TH fucks off and tells Thomas, Edward and Percy that they can take a few days off while the bigger engines do their jobs. But Thomas and Edward forgot that Percy tended to get PTSD flashbacks about being left alone with bigger engines than him, but they're too busy with their vacationing to notice or care.

Also, the presence of signalmen, and people in general, in this show raise a very important question here: Who's the superior race here? I just don't get it. I mean, the engines act like they're in total control, but they can't stop or start unless there's someone fondling their controls(I do mean that as a double entendre). Does this mean that every time these guys go on one of their retarded little adventures, the humans in them just go along with it? Do they not know how much danger they're in, or do they just not care?

Maybe they realized that having to live in a strange world where vehicles are cursed with sentience is utter madness, and that death is the only escape. That's why they never leave. That's why they never protest. They just want to be released from this tangent universe filled with completely incompetent engines that get into trouble everyday.

Anyway, Percy's PTSD is triggered when he's just dicking about on the main line, and Gordon comes plunging through without warning. Percy gets so scared that he fucks off and accidentally leaves his humans behind, which means he can't stop. He doesn't stop until he crashes ass-first into a pile of dirt, and he starts bawling while remembering getting molested in the boy's shower at the workhouse.

Then, Gordon shows up and he's like, "That was fuckin' metal, Dude!"

And Percy's like, "What the fuck are you talking about?! You scared the shit outta me, you asshole!"

"Yeah, and in doing so, you literally ran all the way across the island backwards. If I could do stuff backwards at half the speed you did, you wouldn't find me working here, I can tell ya that much."

"So, you're not going to molest me?"

"Nah, I'm not into guys. But just a little heads up: Next time you think about rushing into anything backwards, watch your ass or else Henry will be on it flies on shit."
