Chapter 11: Time To Return To Sodor
As we left off from the previous chapter, things went from a catastrophe, to a triumph. Emily, Smurfette, and the Smurflings all decided to go to the forest to play with Puppy. And they didn't know that Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were out lurking in the forest looking for them. But then, the three baddies found them, and they were glad that one of the Engines was with them. So Gargamel made his plan, by throwing a magic piece of coal to Emily. And by the time that Emily, Smurfette, the Smurflings, and Puppy all decided to head back to the village, they didn't notice that the non-numbered engine was leaving a trail of smoke that didn't evaporate. But, they all notice it when they got to the village. And to everyone's surprise, the three baddies appeared and found the village! When they got there, they captured every one of the Smurfs(With the exception of Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, and Baby Smurf). And they also stopped the Steam Team, by getting them all petrified(With the exception of James). James, Grouchy, and Vanity had just came back from their quality time, and they could see that no one was around in the village, which made them puzzled. Then suddenly, the three friends found the Engines and they can see that they were all petrified! And then, Wild, Baby Smurf, and Smoogle came back to the village from hiding and they told James, Grouchy, and Vanity that Gargamel was behind the capturing of the Smurfs and getting the Engines all petrified. But then, a miracle happen! James managed to bring his friends back to life, by using the magic and power of the gold dust! And after that, the Steam Team and the four Smurfs were trying to think of a plan to rescue the Smurfs. And luckily, there was. Grouchy, Vanity, and Baby Smurf, along with Feathers, went off to get their human friend, King Gerard, while the Steam Team, Wild, and Smoogle, along with Puppy, went off to rescue the Smurfs. At Gargamel's hovel, the evil wizard had accomplished his goal, and was going to do some evil doings to the little blue gnomes. But, that all came to a failure when the Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy came to the rescue and foiled Gargamel's evil clutches. And after the successful rescue, the hateful wizard was ticked off and tried to get the Smurfs back. But all of that failed when King Gerard came and seized the three baddies. And at the young king's castle, King Gerard banished Gargamel and Azrael from his kingdom and saved Scruple from being banished. And the horrid wizard and nasty cat were never to be seen or heard of again. And after that, the Smurfs can now have the freedom, harmony, and peace that they all really want at last. And they continued on having their fun with the Steam Team. But now, the time has come. So let's find out what's going to happen next.
It was a peaceful day in King Gerard's kingdom. And the reason why, was because that the young king had banished a certain horrid wizard who will never set a foot in the kingdom for good.
The three weeks had passed. And at the Smurf village, the day has come. It was the day that the Steam Team will be going back to the Island of Sodor.
But luckily, the Smurfs who were partners with the Steam Team were going with them. And it'll be Dreamy's, Willing's, Tracker's, Tuffy's, Harmony's, Farmer's, Nat's, and Slouchy's first time to go to the island. And it'll also be Christopher's and Marco's first time going to the island because they want to hang out with Donald and Douglas. Brainy and Clumsy were also going to the island so they can hang out with Duck and Oliver.
But though, they all can't go just yet. They all had to wait for Papa to return. The village leader had gone off with Feathers to Father Time's to pick up the magical supplies that the other Smurfs and the Engines were going to need. And they all had been waiting for 15 minutes for Papa to return.
/Thomas\: "It won't be long now, everyone. Papa Smurf will be back with the magical supplies at any moment."
/Snappy\: "He better be, 'cause I'll go smurfy if he takes too long!"
/Edward\: "Now Snappy, I'm sure that Papa Smurf is on his way back here right now."
/Handy\: "Yes, I agree with Edward."
/Willing\: "Me too."
/Dreamy\: "So come on, Snappy, just wait for a few more minutes."
Snappy said nothing else and went silent.
/Dreamy\: "Oh, this is so exciting, I can't wait to smurf to the Island of Sodor!"
/Willing\: "Me too!"
/Tracker\: "Me three!"
/Tuffy\: "Me four!"
/Harmony\: "I'm so excited, I want to smurf my trumpet so loud!"
/Farmer\: "Don't even smurf about it, Harmony!"
/Nat\: "Smurf-a-roo, I hope the places at the island is smurfy!"
/Slouchy\: "I hope so too!"
/Thomas\: "Oh, believe us!"
/Percy\: "The places at Sodor WILL be "smurfy" as some of you think!"
/Henry\: "And trust us, some of you Smurfs will have a "smurfy" time at the island!"
/Gordon\: "And think of all the fun things that we're going to do!"
/Edward\: "It'll be the bomb!"
/Toby\: "Indeed!"
/Smurfette\: "And I can't wait to smurf out with Molly!"
/Sassette\: "And the same thing with me about Rosie!"
/Snappy\: "And me about Billy!"
/Brainy\: "I'm smurfing forward on smurfing out with Oliver!"
/Clumsy\: "The same thing smurfs to me with Duck!"
/Christopher\: "And we am really smurfing forward on meeting with Donald and Douglas for the first time!"
/Marco\: "I smurf to that, my brother!"
/Slouchy\: "Well I can't wait to meet Flora for the first time too!"
/Emily\: "Boy, some of you Smurfs are sure pumping ready to go!"
/James\: "And if you keep yourselves up with that much excitement, some of you will surely go to burst!"
/Vanity\: "Yes, listen to James!"
/Grouchy\: "I agree too!"
/Snappy\: "Whoa, spoiled alert!"
/Sassette\: "Yeah, we can have much excitement whenever we want to!"
/Slouchy\: "So smurf out of it!"
/Nat\: "Yeah, smurf out!"
That made James, Grouchy, and Vanity furious and cross and they said nothing else. And they and the others went on waiting.
But then, everyone heard a noise.
/Feathers\: "SQUAWK!"
/Hefty\: "Hey, that's Feathers!"
/Handy\: "And Papa Smurf is smurfing!"
/Jokey\: "Look, here they smurf now!"
Everyone looked up. And they watched as Feathers, with Papa on board, made a smooth landing into the village. They greeted them warmly.
/Thomas\: "Well Papa Smurf, did you get them?"
/Papa\: "Yes I did, Thomas."
And Papa showed the magical supplies to everyone. But when everyone was looking at the supplies, they were all looking puzzled and surprised. They could see that the second oldest Smurf had brought something different.
/Snappy\: "What's that, Papa Smurf?"
/Papa\: "This Snappy, is the newest supply for you all to time-travel to the Island of Sodor and back. It's a time whistle, made out of sapphire, and complete with time crystal beads."
/The Smurfs\: "Smurf our smurfs!"
/The Steam Team\: "Bust our buffers!"
/Dreamy\: "But what about the time scroll, Papa Smurf?"
/Papa\: "Don't worry, Dreamy. I have that also, it's in my pocket."
/Dreamy\: "Oh, good."
Then Papa turned to Grouchy and Vanity.
/Papa\: "Grouchy, Vanity, can you both smurf here please?"
So Grouchy and Vanity moved up to Papa.
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "What is it, Papa Smurf?"
/Papa\: "I want the both of you to be honors of taking care of the supplies."
The two Smurfs were surprised. But they were delighted.
/Grouchy\: "You can smurf on me, Papa Smurf."
/Vanity\: "Me too."
/Papa\: "I know you both will. Vanity, you'll smurf the time whistle and scroll."
Papa handed the magical supplies to Vanity.
Vanity put the time whistle around his neck. Then he used his hand mirror.
/Vanity\: "Ooh, I sure do look smurfy with it."
/James\: "Indeed you are, Vanity. Indeed you are."
Vanity beamed proudly.
/Papa\: "And Grouchy, you'll be smurfing this."
Papa reached into his pocket. And he revealed the object to Grouchy.
Grouchy knows what it is.
/Grouchy\: "It's the guard's whistle."
/Papa\: "Yes indeed, Grouchy. Yes indeed."
Papa handed the guard's whistle to Grouchy.
James felt very proud for his two Smurf partners.
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ Ok, everysmurf!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ Here we smurf!"
Vanity unrolled the scroll, and he blew the time whistle.
/Vanity\: "/TWEET!\"
And in a flash, the multi-colored vortex appeared right in front of everyone.
Then, Grouchy blew the guard's whistle.
/Grouchy\: "/TWEET!\"
Gold dust came right out of the whistle, and it went straight into the vortex.
Then suddenly, something amazing happened. The gold dust were swirling around the multi-colored vortex. And they sparkled brightly within it.
Everyone was very amazed.
/The Smurfling\: "Whoa!"
/Emily\: "Pretty!"
/Thomas\: "/Shouting\ Alright everyone, all aboard!"
The Smurfs boarded their Engine partners. Christopher and Marco boarded Gordon, while Brainy and Clumsy boarded Henry.
/Thomas\: "Well Papa Smurf, this isn't goodbye."
/Papa\: "You're absosmurfly right, Thomas. All I can smurf is, we'll smurf you all next time."
/Thomas\: "Likewise, Papa Smurf, and are you sure that you don't want to come to Sodor again?"
/Papa\: "No, not this time. The village needs its leader, and father figure."
/Thomas\: "I understand splendidly, Papa Smurf."
Papa nodded his head up and down.
/Thomas\: "What about you, Grandpa Smurf? Don't you want to go to Sodor again?"
/Grandpa\: "You know I'd love to, Thomas. But, I rather stay here. A very old Smurf like me needs some time for himself around here."
/Thomas\: "I understand, Grandpa Smurf. Perfectly."
Grandpa smiled grandly.
/Emily\: "Nanny, why don't you come to Sodor with us? It'll be your first time."
/Nanny\: "I'd love to, Emily. But I rather stay here too. This village needs its nanny."
/Emily\: "Alright, I understand."
/Henry\: "Smoogle, want to go to Sodor with us again?"
/Smoogle\: "SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE, SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE."
/Henry\: "What's he puffing, Nat?"
/Nat\: "Smoogle smurfed that he would love to. But, he rather wants to stay in the village also."
/Henry\: "Oh, what a shame. But I understand. Oh, what about you, Wild? Want to come to Sodor with us again?"
/Wild\: "Mm-mmm /Talking in gibberish\"
/Henry\: "Now what's Wild puffing, Nat?"
/Nat\: "Wild smurfed that he would love to go, but he has to stay here and help out with his squirrel friends."
/Henry\: "Ohh. Well, I sure can respect that."
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH! DTOOT-DTOOT!"
/Henry\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Thomas\: "Greedy, want to come to Sodor with us again?"
/Greedy\: "I would love to, Thomas. But I had to stay here, this village needs its chef."
/Thomas\: "What about you, Lazy?"
/Lazy\: "No thank you, Thomas. I'm staying here in the village and do what I want to do, and that is sleep, sleep, and sleep."
/Thomas\: "How about you, Painter?"
/Painter\: "Ah Monsieur Thomas, I would love to go to Sodor again, but I rather ztay here in zhe village. Bezidez, I already smurf zhe many zitez on Sodor, and I got zome magnifique masteurpiesas of zhem."
/Thomas\: "Well you three, I sure can respect those splendidly."
The three Smurfs nodded their heads up and down.
/James\: "Goodbye Baby Smurf, I will miss you, but I will be back someday."
/Baby Smurf\: "Gaa! Peep-peep-peep!"
/James\: "/PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!\"
/Thomas\: "/Shouting\ Alright everyone, now it's time to…"
But then, Thomas saw something that caught his attention. He was looking at Latino.
The Spanish-speaking Smurf was looking very sad. And the reason why he was sad was because he really wants to go to the Island of Sodor with the Steam Team and his fellow Smurfs. And he was also feeling left-out.
Thomas felt sorry for Latino. But then, he knew a way to fix the problem.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Papa Smurf?"
/Papa\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes Thomas?"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Is it alright for Latino to come along with us? I think he's feeling left-out."
Papa turned to Latino. And he could see that his little Smurf was indeed feeling left-out. But then, the leader Smurf smiled and turned to Thomas.
/Papa\: "/Speaking softly\ Why of course he can, and I would do anything to make my little Smurf happy."
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Thank you, Papa Smurf. /Speaking loudly\ Latino!"
Latino caught Thomas' attention.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking loudly\ We would be delighted if you come along with us to Sodor too!"
/Latino\: "/Speaking loudly\ ¿En serio? Really?"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking loudly\ Really!"
/Latino\: "/Speaking loudly\ Oh, gracias, Thomas! Mucho gracias!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking loudly\ /Giggling\ De nada! Hop on aboard!"
Latino went up to Thomas. And he come on aboard the little blue tank engine.
/Latino\: "/Shouting\ Ar-r-riba!"
/Thomas\: "/Giggling\ /Shouting\ Alright everyone, on to Sodor we puff! My friends, Engine roll-call! /PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Edward\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Henry\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Gordon\: "/POOP! POOP!\"
/James\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Percy\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Toby\: "/DING-DING! DING-DING!\"
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
"/The Steam Team and the Smurfs saying goodbye to each other\"
/Baby Smurf\: "Ba-ba!"
/Latino\: "Hasta pronto!"
After saying goodbye to each other, one by one, the Steam Team, with their Smurf partners and some other Smurfs on board, entered the multi-color vortex. The other Smurfs watched as the last of the Engines entered the vortex. And in a flash, the vortex disappeared.
/Papa\: "Take smurfy care of each other, my little Smurfs."
And Papa went off to do his leadership and fatherly figure duties around the village.
Meanwhile, inside the fabric of time, the Steam Team, along with their Smurf partners and some other Smurfs, were time-traveling along the vortex. As they chuffed along the vortex, everywhere they could see were colors of the rainbow with a dash of some gold dust. And for the Smurfs who were new to that, they were amazed and awestruck.
Just then, there was a flash of light at the end of the vortex. And the Steam Team began to go faster and heading straight towards the light. As the Smurfs and the Steam Team got closer to the light, one by one, they all phased into it. "/Sound of a European-style train whistle and railway crossing bells 8x\" And after that, the flash of light disappeared.
In the Magic Railway, things were peaceful and quiet. Well, not for long.
Just then, the gold-dusted rainbow vortex appeared in front of a set of buffers. One by one, the Steam Team, with the Smurfs on board Thomas, exited out of the vortex. Then the vortex disappeared. And everyone could see that they were back at the Magic Railway. And for the other Smurfs who were new to that, they were really amazed and awestruck.
/Dreamy\: "Wow! What is this smurfy place?!"
/Hefty\: "This is the Magic Railway, Dreamy."
/Willing\: "Whoa, it's so smurftiful!"
/Handy\: "Indeed it is."
/Slouchy\: "But, I thought we're smurfing to the Island of Sodor."
/Sassette\: "We are, but we had to smurf through this magical place first."
/Slouchy\: "Ohh."
/Thomas\: "And look, we Engines are back at our normal size!"
/James\: "Thank Sodor it's good to be back at our normal size again!"
/Grouchy\: "And I LOVE that you're back to your normal size!"
/Nat\: "Hey, smurf at me, I'm wearing some different clothes!"
/Slouchy\: "Me too!"
/Dreamy\: "I'm smurfing something different also!"
/Willing\: "And me!"
/Tracker\: "Me too!"
/Tuffy\: "Me three!"
/Harmony\: "Me four!"
/Farmer\: "I'm smurfing some different clothes too!"
/Latino\ "Y yo también!"
/Christopher & Marco\: "And us too!"
/Snappy\: "Well, this is what happens when you smurf into a new time period."
/Sassette\: "And you'll get used to it soon enough."
And the other Smurfs were getting used to it already.
Just then, everyone saw a golden sparkle. And in a flash, Mr. Conductor appeared.
/Mr. Conductor\: "Hello, all."
/The Steam Team and some of the Smurfs\: "Hello Mr. C.."
/Slouchy\: "Whoa, who's that guy?"
/Snappy\: "That's Mr. Conductor."
/Sassette\: "But we simply smurf him "Mr. C."."
/Snappy\: "And he's a regular magical being who can handle the magic and power of the gold dust."
/Nat\: "Wow!"
/Some other Smurfs\: "Ooooh!"
/Mr. Conductor\: "So, did you Engines had a fun time in the 16th century?"
/Thomas\: "Yes, we had the most splendid time at that time period."
/Mr. Conductor\: "Well, I'm glad to hear that."
The Steam Team and the Smurfs beamed grandly.
/Mr. Conductor\: "Now, the Fat Controller wants to see you Engines at Knapford Station."
/Dreamy\: "Ooh, we finally get to meet Sir Topham."
/Tuffy\: "And after that, we get to smurf the sites at Sodor."
/Thomas\: "You got that right, Tuffy. Now let's go!"
Mr. Conductor magically teleported inside Thomas' cab.
But then, Thomas sighed.
/Thomas\: "/SIGH\"
/Percy\: "What's the matter, Thomas?"
/Thomas\: "Well, once we Engines exit out of the Magic Railway, we're no longer be magical Engines anymore."
/James\: "Ohh, right."
/Emily\: "What a bother."
/Edward\: "But cheer up! We'll be magical again when we go to the Magic Railway and the 16th century again!"
/Thomas\: "Yes, you're right, Edward!"
/James\: "And I peep to that too!"
/Emily\: "And there is a bright side to it also!"
/Percy\: "Righto!"
And the rest of the Steam Team agreed also.
/Mr. Conductor\: "Alright then, off we go!"
/Thomas\: "Right! Off to Knapford Station we chuff!"
/The Smurfs\: "And smurf!"
And the Steam Team, with the Smurfs and Mr. Conductor on board Thomas, all set off to the Magic Buffers that will lead them back to the Island of Sodor.
At Knapford Station, the Fat Controller was on the platform waiting for the Steam Team to arrive. And he knows that his Engines will indeed come back after spending three weeks at the 16th century.
/The Fat Controller\: "It won't be long now. They'll be coming in at any moment."
The Fat Controller looked at his pocket watch.
/The Fat Controller\: "/Humming\"
But then, the Fat Controller heard the sound of a lot of whistles and a bell.
/The Steam Team\: "/Whistling/dinging\"
/The Fat Controller\: "Ah, here they come now."
The Fat Controller watched as the Steam Team entered the station. And they came to a halt at the front end of the platforms.
/The Steam Team\: "Hello Sir!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Hello to you all, and welcome back!"
/The Steam Team\: "Thank you, Sir!"
/The Smurfs minus Latino\: "Hello Sir Topham!"
/Latino\: "Hola Señor Sir Topham!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Oh, hello Smurfs, and welcome back as well!"
/The Smurfs\: "Thank you, Sir Topham!"
/The Fat Controller\: "And thank you for notifying them, Mr. Conductor."
/Mr. Conductor\: "You're welcome, Sir."
Mr. Conductor got off of Thomas. And he stood by the Fat Controller.
/The Fat Controller\: "So tell me, my Engines. How's your time at the 16th century?"
/Thomas\: "It was "smurfy", Sir!"
/James\: "The most fun time ever!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Well, glad to know that. And tell me, Smurfs, did they behave well over there?"
/Smurfette\: "They were smurfy, Sir Topham!"
/The Smurflings\: "The smurfiest ever!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Well, glad to hear that."
The Steam Team and the Smurfs smiled cheerfully.
/The Fat Controller\: "And there's one thing that I need to know."
/Thomas\: "And what's that, Sir?"
/The Fat Controller\: "Were there any trouble during your stay over there?"
The Steam Team and the Smurfs looked at each other in a nervous way.
The Fat Controller could see the look on their faces.
/The Fat Controller\: "Well, is there?"
/Thomas\: "Well… there was some trouble during our stay over there, Sir."
/The Fat Controller\: "Is that so?"
/James\: "But, we managed to overcome that trouble anyway!"
/Thomas\: "And Sir, remember that horrid wizard that we puff to you about a couple years ago?"
/The Fat Controller\: "Yes?"
/Thomas\: "Well, we managed to send that old slow coach wizard packing!"
/James\: "And we worked together as a team, along with the Smurfs!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Well now, that was very good to hear that, and I'm very proud of you all! And you also used my strategy, good work!"
The Steam Team felt very proud of themselves.
/The Fat Controller\: "And you Smurfs did good too, splendid work!"
The Smurfs felt proud of themselves as well.
/The Fat Controller\: "Now then, since you Engines had just arrived back, I'll give you all some time off. But you all will be going back to work first thing tomorrow. Is that clear?"
/The Steam Team\: "Yes Sir!"
/The Fat Controller\: "Good then, I'll see you all tomorrow."
And the Fat Controller left with Mr. Conductor.
/Thomas\: "Brainy, Clumsy, Christopher, Marco, Sassette, Snappy, Slouchy, you all stay with me so I can take you to some of my friends that you want to be partners with."
/The seven Smurfs\: "Smurfy, thank you, Thomas."
/Vanity\: "You do that, Thomas."
/Grouchy\: "While the rest of us smurf with our Engine partners."
/Dreamy\: "But Latino and I will be smurfing with Thomas."
/Latino\: "Sí."
/Edward\: "And for some of you Smurfs who are new to Sodor, we'll take you to see the sites."
/Emily\: "And Smurfette, while you're with me, we'll go and puff out with Molly."
/Smurfette\: "Ooh, thank you, Emily."
So some of the Smurfs stayed with Thomas, while the rest went to their Engine partners.
/Thomas\: "Alright then, we'll see each other later!"
/The Engines minus Thomas\: "See you later!"
/The Smurfs\: "Smurf you later!"
And with that, Thomas chuffed away with his Smurf partner and some of the Smurfs aboard. And the other Engines all chuffed away with their Smurf partners aboard as well.
Later on, Thomas was chuffing around the island looking for some of his friends. The other Smurfs who were with him wanted to be partners with them and hang out. And Thomas knows exactly where to find them.
First, Thomas found Duck.
/Thomas\: "Hello Duck!"
/Duck\: "Thomas, you're back!"
/Thomas\: "Indeed! And there's someone who wants to be with you!"
/Clumsy\: "Hiya Duck!"
/Duck\: "Clumsy!"
/Thomas\: "And he's your new partner!"
/Duck\: "What?"
Thomas explained everything to Duck. And after that, Duck approved it.
Clumsy hopped over to Duck.
/Thomas\: "Enjoy your time together, you two!"
And with that, Thomas chuffed away.

Second, Thomas found Donald and Douglas.
/Thomas\: "Hello Donald, hello Douglas!"
/Donald\: "Thomas, our lad!"

/Christopher\: "Hello Donald!"
/Marco\: "Hello Douglas!"
/Donald\: "Oh, hello you wee Smurfs."
/Douglas\: "Who are you both?"
/Christopher\: "I'm Christopher."
/Marco\: "I'm Marco."
/Christopher & Marco\: "And we're the British twin Smurfs. High smurf! HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Thomas explained everything to the twins. And after that, they approved it.

/Oliver\: "Huh?"
Thomas explained everything to Oliver. And after that, Oliver approved it.

And with that, Thomas puffed away.

Fourth, Thomas found Rosie.
/Thomas\: "Hello Rosie!"
/Rosie\: "Thomas, you're back at last!"
/Thomas\: "Indeed I am! And there's someone who wants to be with you!"
/Sassette\: "Hi Rosie!"
/Rosie\: "Oh hello, I remember you! But I didn't get your name."
/Sassette\: "It's Sassette."
/Rosie\: "Ohh, lovely name."
/Thomas\: "And she's your new partner!"
/Rosie\: "Oh?"
Thomas explained everything to Rosie. And after that, Rosie approved it.
Sassette hopped over to Rosie.
/Thomas\: "Enjoy your time together, you two!"
And with that, Thomas chuffed off once again.
/Rosie\: "Goodbye Thomas!"
/Sassette\: "And thank you!"
/Thomas\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
Fifth, Thomas found Billy.
/Thomas\: "Hello Billy!"
/Billy\: "Thomas, you're back, and about time too!"
/Thomas\: "/Puzzled\ Ohh, glad to hear that. Anyway, there's someone who wants to be with you!"
/Snappy\: "Hi Billy!"
/Billy\: "Oh hello, and I remember you! But, I didn't quite catch your name."
/Snappy\: "It's Snappy."
/Billy\: "Ohh, good name."
/Thomas\: "And he's your new partner!"
/Billy\: "Hmm?"
Thomas explained everything to Billy. And after that, Billy approved it.

/Thomas\: "Thank you, and there's someone who wants to meet you!"
/Slouchy\: "Hi Flora!"
/Flora\: "Oh, hello there! But who are you?"
/Slouchy\: "I'm Slouchy."
/Thomas\: "And he's your new partner!"
/Flora\: "Pardon?"
Thomas explained everything to Flora. And after that, Flora approved it.
Slouchy hopped over to Flora.
/Thomas\: "Enjoy your time together, you two!"
And with that, Thomas puffed off.
/Flora\: "Thank you, Thomas!"
/Slouchy\: "And goodbye!"
/Thomas\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
And Thomas set off to spend some time with Dreamy and Latino.
Later on that day, the Steam Team were showing some of the Smurfs who were new to the island the sites on Sodor. And they were really enjoying themselves enormously.
Thomas showed Dreamy and Latino his branch line.
Edward showed Willing his branch line. Handy had already seen it before.
Henry showed Nat and Tracker his favorite spot on Sodor, the forest. And his all-time favorite tree, the Tall Pine Tree.
Gordon showed Tuffy the main line. Hefty had already seen it before.
James showed Grouchy the High Hills of Sodor. And the High Hills of Sodor is home to the Engines of the Sodor Island Narrow-gauge Railway. Vanity had already seen it before. And it was his idea for Grouchy to see it because the former negative Smurf had never been to the High Hills before, and neither he seen the narrow-gauge engines.
Percy showed Harmony the Sodor Island Seaside. Jokey had already seen it before.
And Toby showed Farmer the farms, and the windmills on Sodor.
And on that day, Emily and Smurfette were hanging out with Molly.
And as for the rest of the Engines and Smurfs, they were having a blast spending time together.
When nighttime came, the Engines, along with their Smurf partners, returned to their sheds, and went fast asleep. It had been a very fantastic day on the Island of Sodor. But tomorrow, it will be a very busy one. And everything on Sodor will start hustling and bustling again now that the Steam Team had returned back to the island.
(Acela Smurf7): Well, this story keeps on getting smurfier and smurfier, don't you think? Don't miss out on the next chapter, 'cause it will be a splendid one.
