Chapter 5.
Chuffing was heard coming up towards Henry as he smiled seeing that it was Thomas Who whistled loudly. "Good Morning Henry, how are you doing today?" The green Sodor #3 sighed and looked away from his friend; The #1 engine was puzzled by his behavior. "What's the matter Henry? You seem sad like your... Lost. Are you sick or something?" He thought about it for a little moment; should he tell Thomas the truth? Henry knew that the young tank engine was very cheeky and found it hard to keep secrets but, he wanted to tell Thomas after all, despite his mischievous personality, he was always willing to help a friend out and wouldn't stop until he would see that smile on their face.
Henry looked around to see if there was any people in sight. The station was very quiet; breathing a sigh of relief, he then started. "Well, I have a friend. And this friend likes an engine; but the friend is too scared to tell that engine his true feelings so, he just keeps hiding it and not taking the chance to explain himself up front. What should he do?" He asked not wanting to spill the beans to blurt it out to say that it was really him he was talking about. Thomas thought real hard licking his lips. "You should tell him to take that chance and start slow; make a light conversation and see where it will go from there. Why are you asking me this Henry?" Thomas asked. Now it was his turn. He looked down feeling the crimson blush spreading to his face as he started to stutter. "Thomas, if I tell you the truth, will you promise me that you won't tell anyone about my secret? Please? I'm begging you; I wouldn't want for it to get out of hand." "Of course I won't Henry, you can count on me; besides, you are the only big engine besides Gordon and James that don't belittle us not even Edward, and you are very respectful."
Henry smiled warmly feeling very confident. "Okay, I... I think I like... Gordon." Thomas studied his big friend then smiled. "Does he know?" "No, I don't think so; but you know him, he's always arrogant. I just wish he could for once in awhile to have a more caring and friendly side. But, he's just so handsome, like a breath of fresh air; if only I had the strength and will power to tell him how I feel then maybe, I won't feel like a weakling." Thomas felt bad. All this time since he had been on the Island, he would see the green tender engine making dreamy eyes at the big express one; why didn't he see the signs from earlier? Surely, he would have noticed, but he knew it wasn't his business to interfere.
An idea then came into his funnel. "Why not find a spot where you can meet him later this afternoon?" "Like my tunnel?" Thomas grinned. "Exactly. You can stay there until you hear him coming, and when you see him getting closer, then you come out and surprise him." Henry smiled believing that might work. "Thank you Thomas." And he puffed slowly away as Thomas watched feeling very hopeful.
