[I do not and never will own Fireman Sam]


Chapter 2: Norman Leaves


Later that day, Norman Price was busy writing a letter, telling anyone who read it that he was running away.

The letter read, "Dear anyone who reads this letter:'

'Don't bother looking for me, cause I'm running away to Newtown and I will never ever EVER be coming back, EVER!'

'GOODBYE FOREVER!'

'NORMAN PRICE'

"Done." Norman said to himself. "When everyone's asleep tonight, I'll sneak out the back door, and run away!" He chuckled naughtily to himself. "This is so exciting!"


Finally, night-time arrived. When Norman was sure Dilys and Derek were sound asleep, he got up, and grabbed his backpack. Quietly, he raided the cupboards for snacks and a few drinks, and filled up his backpack. Then he put it on his back.

He snuck downstairs, really quietly, then he grabbed the picnic hamper Dilys had packed that morning, and very very carefully pushed the back door to the shop open, and snuck out into the night. And then, he ran out down the road. Then, he stopped, and turned round, staring at the shop, and then he shouted out at the top of his voice very loudly, "GOODBYE FOREVER, YOU GREAT BIG FAT MEANIE OF A MAM!"

And with not a care for how he acted and/or what was gonna happen to him, off Norman Price ran, down the road, over the hill, out of town, past the Floods' house, and off down the road to the forest. He didn't care about what his mam, Fireman Sam, or anyone else would say if they found he was gone. He didn't care if he never saw Pontypandy again. All that mattered to him was going far far away, and never ever coming back. EVER.

He took one last long look at Pontypandy in the distance.

"So long, Pontypandy." he said, and carried on going.

Before long, he began to feel better, and skipped merrily along the road, as happy as a jackrabbit, as merry as a schoolboy, and he was feeling very pleased with himself. "Haha!" he chuckled naughtily to himself. "Mam's gonna be really sorry when she finds me gone!"

He carried on walking, feeling pleased with himself. "Living in Newtown will be so much fun! I can't wait till I get there!"


A/N: Uh-oh! Norman's gonna be in BIG trouble when he's found out for running away!
