Postman Pat was collecting mail for his day in the post office and talked with Mrs. Goggins about travel since Pat mentioned the gifts they both brought from Italy.
Ted was in the office fixing a lightbulb and listening to their conversation.
"Imagine going to Scotland?" Mrs. Goggins smiles. "It's such a lovely country with fantastic history tales."
"I rather think going to Mexico is grand," Pat happily chirped. "They have amazing food and beautiful colors."
"Oh, aye, Pat," Mrs. Goggins nodded, picking up a stack of letters and handing them to Pat. "Even the spices there are fantastic!"
"I don't know about the spices, Mrs. Goggins," Pat chuckled as he placed the letters into his mailbag.
Ted finished fixing the lightbulb and climbed back down from the stool, and Pat turned to him, asking, "What do you think about traveling, Ted?"
"I don't know," Ted responded thoughtfully. "I have never traveled before, but I think staying here in Sodor and Greendale is better because you have a lot to do here."
"Suit yourself," Pat nodded. "Well, best to be off."
"Bye, Pat," Mrs. Goggins waved, and Pat left the office with Ted following behind Pat as Ted carried the stool with him.
Ted waved Pat goodbye as he waved back before stepping into his van with Jess inside and starting his morning run.
"Well," Ted said to himself as he clapped his hands together, rubbing them. "It's time for me to get back to me workshop to start with some inventions."
He opened the door to his flatbed lorry, hopped inside, and closed the door, starting his lorry before heading to his workshop while humming a little tune.
Ted soon arrived at his workshop and parked in the garage, stepping out of his flatbed lorry as he took out metal items he had collected from Reg's yard.
With the items, Ted headed into the workshop and stopped to draw out a plan before starting to work.
Ted took a piece of paper from a stack and started to draw out a plan with a pencil, mumbling to himself about which part went where and what to make.
There are usually times when Fireman Sam comes over to suggest some ideas whenever he has days off, but since it is the hottest part of the season, it has been rare.
Wallace is great too, but he had a new business to maintain… again, as Ted rolls his eyes to himself about Wallace's knack of getting a business and something happening to said business.
Ted finished the first drawing of the blueprint on the piece of paper and nodded to himself, proud of the design he had made.
…Other than the mess of pencil shavings on the ground he had created from sharpening his pencil with a portable sharpener.
Ted tsked himself with his mess before placing the pencil down and taking out his broom, beginning to sweep the pencil shavings from the ground and into a trashcan.
Once Ted was finished, he was about to turn to what he was doing when something paper-like on the ground caught his eye and caused him to look down.
"What's this?" Ted bent down and picked it up, seeing that it was an old piece of paper with handwriting on it.
The handwriting reads: 'Lackipo nikrif scrumpet leech.'
Ted squinted his eyes a little after reading the words before saying the words out loud, "'Lackipo nikrif scrumpet leech?'"
He shrugged his shoulders after reading the words and placed the piece of paper into his overall's chest pocket, returning to what he was doing as he swept the floor.
But the thought of the sentence felt curious to him, thinking it was the start of a new language, so Ted repeated, "Lackipo nikrif scrumpet leech."
The broom in his hand suddenly jerked forward, which caused him to exclaim, digging his heels into the ground as the broom started to move around.
"Whoa, whoa!" Ted exclaimed as he held onto the broom with both hands. "'Ey! What's happenin'?!"
The broom swerved to the side and continued to jerk Ted around, going around in a wild frenzy while Ted held on.
Ted thought it was one of Norman's pranks as he pulled back hard, but the broom yanked forward harder, which concluded that it was not one of Norman's pranks.
The broom suddenly went up into the air, which caused Ted to yelp, gripping the broom tightly as he was whipped around in the workshop like a tornado.
Postman Pat soon arrived at Ted's workshop and stepped out with his package but paused when he heard noises inside.
"Ted?" Pat called, confusedly approaching the door. "Ted, what's going on in there?"
There was no response to his calls, so Pat placed Ted's package underneath his arm and grabbed the garage handle, noticing it was unlocked.
"Ted?" Pat lifted the garage door open, and Ted whizzed out of the garage on top of a broom, shrieking as he had one arm and legs wrapped around it as he went into the sky with one hand on his hat.
Pat's jaw dropped after seeing Ted riding a broom like a witch as the package he was carrying slipped out from under his arm to the ground, and Jess shook his head in confusion and shock at what he saw.
Pat soon snapped out of his shock and quickly went back into his van before screeching to a halt after realizing he had forgotten the package and returned to it.
He picked up the package and returned to his van, opening the door and hopping inside, with Jess following behind him.
"Hold on, Ted," Pat called after his friend after sticking his head out of the window.
Then he started driving to chase after his friend on the broom, but someone a few miles away from Ted's workshop perked up after witnessing Ted flying off on a broom.
"Oh, crap," the child winced.
The child took out a pocket watch with a familiar flower design on the front and opened it before closing it and clicking it.
The child transformed into a falcon and took off into the air, chasing after Postman Pat and Ted.
People were walking down the city street while others were sitting at cafés when something whizzed by them in a blur, shouting, "Sorry! Pardon me! Excuse me!"
It was Ted, as he was now holding onto the broom in the correct position and was trying to dodge the people appearing in his way, sometimes shouting or moving away.
It was like something out of a chase scene from an action movie!
Ted gripped the broom with both hands and yanked it upward, causing him and the broom to go up and avoid a couple sitting near a table as the baby watched him soar into the air as he gave a "Yaaaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!"
The knuckles of Ted's hands were white as he gripped the broom while the other was holding onto his hat, soaring higher and higher.
He moved up when he almost slid off the broom, and it suddenly tipped forward before pointing downward toward the ground.
Ted shrieked as he sped towards the ground and passed by LEGO people standing from their balconies, perking up after hearing his shriek before shrugging and returning to what they were doing.
Ted's lips were flapping as he was heading toward the ground, and he remembered what he had done before, so Ted grabbed the broom with both hands and forced it up, barely missing the ground as he went back into the air.
He yelped when he nearly bumped into one of the Hero Factory Heroes as they avoided him by moving away, and he gave a "Sorry!" before exiting the city.
Ted quietly sighs a sigh of relief as he continues soaring through the air before realizing one of the planes is heading towards him.
He yelped and pushed the broom down as said airplane yelped after seeing him heading towards him, missing him as the airplane moved up.
"Sorry!" Ted apologized before yelping after seeing Gordon come out of a tunnel.
Gordon perked up after seeing Ted, and Ted was heading toward Gordon!
He panicked, trying to find a way to stop the broom from moving, and Gordon instantly shouted, "Turn, Ted!" and Ted tilted his body to the left.
Which caused him to move away from Gordon as he missed him by just inches, and Gordon watched him fly as he continued puffing down the line.
"Sorry!" Ted shouted as he disappeared into the distance.
Ted soon entered a luckily empty field, but the broom started to lower toward the ground, and Ted started to worry.
So when he was towards the ground, Ted started running his legs as the broom was between his legs, feeling stupid for running like this but not wanting to get hurt.
The broom moved back up into the air, and Ted stopped running, holding onto the broom as he soared in the air and slowly began to relax.
It does not look that bad, as Ted looked at his surroundings.
Ted lifted his body slightly from the broom as he looked around before seeing Trevor appear with Farmer Cole and a stack of wood behind him, going down the same road Ted was.
Ted instantly pulled upward and missed the trucks of wood towing behind Trevor, even soaring over them without touching them.
Farmer Cole looked confused along with Trevor after witnessing Ted fly over them on top of a broom as Farmer Cole watched Ted.
Ted sighed after missing the wood… but went head first into a stack of hay, coming out from the other end without the broom, comedically soaring through the air as he looked down, realizing the broom was not there as he yelped, and then collided into the second haystack with only his legs sticking out.
Farmer Cole and Trevor winced simultaneously after watching Ted collide into the haystacks before watching Postman Pat's van drive past them.
Postman Pat parked to the side after seeing Ted's legs sticking out and instantly headed over to him, carrying the package with him before asking, "Ted? Ted, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Ted responded muffledly through the haystack as his legs squirmed a little. "But I'm stuck. Can I have a hand?"
Postman Pat placed the package down a few meters away from where he was and returned to Ted, gripping his left leg and asking Farmer Cole as he approached him, "Help me help Ted out of this haystack."
Farmer Cole nodded after Postman Pat asked and grabbed Ted's other leg as Postman Pat counted, "One, two, three!"
They pulled together, and Ted slipped out of the haystack, landing on his bottom between Farmer Cole and Postman Pat.
Ted's hair, mustache, and shirt were covered in hay, making him look almost like a scarecrow, and Pat giggled after seeing Ted's face.
"Are you okay, Ted?" Pat asked, holding out a hand to Ted.
"I'm fine," Ted nodded a little hoarsely as he stood up, brushing himself off the hay. "Had me a scare with that unexpected flight."
"Yes, but how?" Farmer Cole asked.
"That would be my mistake." Postman Pat, Farmer Cole, and Ted looked around after hearing a female's voice before looking at the rock wall and seeing a falcon sitting on top of it near Trevor, but they looked past the falcon.
"Where are you?" Ted asked.
"Are you talking to us, Trevor?" Farmer Cole asked.
"No, not me," Trevor responded.
"Look at the falcon." They looked back at the falcon as the falcon grinned and spoke as it placed a wing against its chest, "The whole fiasco is part of my mistake."
All three looked confused and startled after seeing the falcon speak as Trevor asked, "When did hawks start speaking?!"
"Falcon, actually," the falcon corrected. "There's a difference, but the same family."
The falcon reached for a collar around its neck and popped it off, transforming into a child with long blue hair and Caucasian skin sitting on the rock wall.
"Hello!" She happily chirped as she put a pocket watch into her blue jeans pocket. "It's part of my magic."
She hopped off the rock wall and stood before Postman Pat, Farmer Cole, and Ted, and Postman Pat asked, "So the magic part was your doing, Stephanie?"
"Yes, and it was an accident," Stephanie nodded. "I found a book filled with ancient spells after noticing some of them were Latin, but I didn't notice small papers in the book either. And that one was the one that slipped into his," Stephanie mentioned to Ted. "Workshop."
Ted reached into his overall pocket and took out the small paper, asking, "This one?"
"Yes, that one!" Stephanie nodded. "I'm very sorry for not arriving soon to tell you."
"It's fine," Ted chuckled as he handed the piece of paper to her. "I had a terrifying but admittedly fun journey."
Stephanie blushed a light blue color after Ted remarked, confusing all three from the color shade, and Postman Pat remembered something.
"Oh, Ted, I forgot," He turned around and picked up the package, handing it to Ted. "Your package arrived."
"Thanks, Pat!" Ted smiled as he took the package from Pat. "Do you mind if I have a ride back to me workshop?"
"I don't mind," Pat nodded, hopping over the rock wall and helping Ted.
Stephanie and Farmer Cole did the same as Farmer Cole climbed onto Trevor, but Postman Pat's van did not start.
"Oh, no!" Pat exclaimed after seeing the gauge was at 'E.' "I must've used up the petrol during the chase."
"Can I help, Mr. Pat?" Stephanie suggested peering through the window.
She took out her whistle from her garments, looked at the little gauge, and responded sheepishly, "Oh, wait. Maybe scratch that since most of the Dust is half empty."
"Trevor is a little slow helping us get to our destinations, too," Ted nodded. "If only we can-" an idea popped into his head as he snapped his fingers, saying, "Wait a moment! I've got an idea!"
He hopped out of Pat's van and headed over to Trevor and Farmer Cole, asking, "Do you mind if I take one of these?"
"Go ahead," Farmer Cole nodded.
Ted grabbed one of the sticks and walked back to Pat, handing the stick to him before heading to the haystacks as Farmer Cole started driving away.
He gathered as much hay as he could and found his broom, returning with a handful of hay and his broom in his hand.
Looking at the broom in his hand, Ted started to make a handmade broom after opening his package, which contained a spool of thread.
He tied the bundle of hay to the wooden pole and tied a tight knot, making another in case that knot came undone.
"There we go," Ted nodded before handing the broom to Pat, who looked confused before turning to Stephanie. "Do you have anythin' to carry all the packages?"
"Yes," Stephanie nodded before showing her bag, pausing after seeing Ted's confused expression. "Oh, here."
She reached inside with a hand and took out a massive book from inside, saying, "It's a magic bag that can carry heavy items," She placed the book she took out into her bag, finishing, "Like that."
"Perfect!" Ted nodded. "Hold the bag as Pat and I put the packages inside."
Stephanie nodded and held the bag as Pat and Ted put the packages inside, as Stephanie could feel it getting heavy but not too heavy.
Once the last package was in the bag, Stephanie closed it and handed it to Pat, who slung it over his other shoulder while the other had his letters.
"Follow my lead, Pat," Ted explained, and Pat nodded.
He held the broom between his legs as Pat followed, Jess hopped onto the front of the broom, and Stephanie took out her pocket watch from the pocket of her blue jeans, watching with curiosity.
Ted thought momentarily before remembering the incantation, speaking, "Lackipo nikrif scrumpet leech."
And both Postman Pat and Ted's brooms started to lift from the ground as Ted moved forward, and Pat awkwardly followed, but a little wobbly.
Stephanie smiled with amazement after watching Ted and Pat fly on brooms before tapping on the Zodiac Pocket Watch and transforming into her falcon form.
She flapped her wings and took off into the air, following Ted, who was flying smoothly, but Pat was a little wobbly behind.
Stephanie flew next to Ted as he reached up with a hand, placing it underneath Stephanie's belly, as Pat wobbled next to him, watching Ted pat Stephanie's stomach with a hand.
Ted moved his hand away after patting Stephanie's belly as they continued soaring through the air, and Pat began to place packages down.
The first attempt was a little rocky, but he managed to get the package down without crashing, and the second followed behind as Ted headed over to his workshop.
Soon, all the packages were placed, and Postman Pat started with the letters, learning how to hover as Stephanie demonstrated her hovering ability.
Pat practiced a little hovering before handing out the letters at the right places, startling some and confusing others.
Once the last letter was handed out, Pat thanked Stephanie as he handed her bag to her as she took it into her talons.
Stephanie nodded with a response of gratitude before flying to the left as Pat headed towards the Greendale Post Office.
Mrs. Goggins was waiting inside her office when she saw Pat landing on a broom and looking back down, but her mind reversed on what she saw, and she looked up again as Pat stepped in, holding a broom in his hand.
"How did you fly here?" Mrs. Goggins asked, shaking her head with disbelief.
"That's a long story to tell," Pat chuckled as Jess wobbled in, looking a little dizzy but shaking himself to get himself back on track.
