Together

Just as Theodore and Hank were heading back to their dock, they've noticed something unusual to them. They saw Foduck towing Emily and Millie to the repair docks.

"Emily!" called out Theodore, "Millie!" "What happened to you two?" asked Hank. "Speeding," answered Foduck, "They ran into each other because of their rush-full-ness!"

"What?" thought Hank. Theodore and Hank examined the damage to the two. Emily's front bumper was cut in the middle, even though it protected her bow from damage.

They also saw Millie's bent bow. Some of their inner working equipment was forcibly shifted forwards as a result from the impact. "What happened?" asked Theodore. "I wanted to tell Emily something," explained Millie, "About a bell buoy."

"And I wanted to pick up the remaining bell buoy," explained Emily, "Then Millie ran into me." "Now I have to take them to the repair dock for repairs," said Foduck in a serious tone of voice. "Ok," said Theodore.

So Foduck took Emily and Millie to get repaired. "Well," said Theodore, "There's nothing we can do about it now. It's too late." "Yeah," agreed Hank. So Theodore and Hank decided to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Theodore and Hank decided to pick up the remaining bell buoy themselves. However, they had no idea where it is. "I wonder if Emily ever had the chance to put replacement buoys," thought Hank.

"I don't think so," answered Theodore, "She didn't have enough time." "Oh," replied Hank. That's when they heard a crashing sound. "Bad timing?" asked Hank. "Come on!" said Theodore, "Let's go see what has happened."

Theodore and Hank turned a corner and saw that a cargo ship has crashed into a large underwater rock. "Help," said the ship, named Cabot. "It's Cabot!" said Theodore, "And he ran into some rocks!" "You're right," said Cabot.

Theodore and Hank immediately examined Cabot's hull. "We have to get him out of here," Theodore said seriously. So that's what they did. Carefully, they removed Cabot's bow away from the rocks. It was bent out of shape, but they couldn't find any signs of sinking.

"Not seriously damaged," Theodore declared, "But we have to get him repaired." "And I think I found the remaining bell buoy," said Hank. "Really?" asked Theodore. Hank responded by using his special hauling rope to lift the old bell buoy out of the water. "I think this one has sunk," said Hank.

"You're right," said Theodore, "Let's go to the harbour now!" So they towed Cabot to the repair docks. After they left Cabot in a special dock next to Emily, Hank placed the old bell buoy with the other old buoys.

"Sorry, Emily," Millie said, "I wanted to tell you about that buoy." "It's okay," said Emily in response, "I should have told you."

After Theodore and Hank finished taking Cabot to the repair dock, they figured out that something should have been done about the buoys. "I think," said Theodore, "We should place temporary buoys until further notice, so that there won't be any more accidents."

"Agreed, Theodore," replied Hank. So they set out to find some. That's when they came across Cumberland. "Hello," said Theodore and Hank.

"Why hello again," smiled Cumberland. "Yes," agreed Theodore. "Oh, I wanted to tell you something," Cumberland said, "I got these for you." Cumberland looked at a set of marker buoys.

"Spare buoys!" exclaimed Theodore. "I was bringing them in for you all. I got sidetracked from seeing you that I forgot about them." "Well," said Theodore, "Thanks for telling us now!"

"We have work to do!" said Hank. Theodore and Hank collected all of the marker buoys and set off. "Good luck!" called out Cumberland. That's when Conrad Explorer heard Cumberland's voice.

"I knew it!" he thought. Theodore and Hank did their jobs and all of the replacement marker buoys have been placed in the original buoys position. After that, there had been no more accidents and Theodore and Hank decided to relax for a while.

"That was interesting," thought Hank. "Yep," agreed Theodore, "But I have something else in mind." "What's that?" asked Hank. Theodore didn't answer Hank.

"Uh, ok, then," Hank said in response. Hour later, Theodore and Hank were given the job to move Conrad Explorer to Claytons' dock. "Let's go!" said Hank, excitedly.

"But first, we have to move Cumberland out of the way," explained Theodore. "Ok," agreed Hank. So that's what they did. "We've got something special for you!" Hank told Cumberland.

"What is it?" asked Cumberland. "Wait and see," said Theodore. They've moved Cumberland to an empty dock close to Clayton's loading dock. Then they brought Conrad Explorer to Clayton's dock.

"Here you go," smiled Hank. Cumberland was surprised. "Conrad Explorer?" he said in disbelief, "Is that you?" "Why long time no see, my old friend," smiled Conrad Explorer. "You two enjoy yourselves," smiled Theodore and Hank.

"So what has happened, Cumberland?" asked Conrad Explorer. "A lot of things," replied Cumberland, "Including an unusual hat." "A what?" asked Conrad Explorer.

"Yeah," said Cumberland, "There have been many things happening here in the Great Big Harbour. In fact I am now a friend to those tugboats." "I see," replied Conrad Explorer.

"I'll explain what happened after you gone your own way," said Cumberland. "OK," said Conrad Explorer. Theodore and Hank watched from a nearby dock. "Good to see those two together again," smiled Hank. "Yes," agreed Theodore.

Just then, Emily approached them. "Hey, Emily!" said Theodore, "Glad they've repaired you." "Yep," Emily, "Good timing. And those two are enjoying each other." "You're right," agreed Hank.

"Ok," Clayton said while loading Conrad Explorer, "It's good to hear these two having a good time with each other." Theodore, Hank and Emily agreed.

Millie also returned from being repaired sometime later, and some time later, Emily set to work placing most of the original bell buoys back in their original places after they've been repaired and cleaned of rust.

Some buoys had to be replaced with new buoys. Pretty soon, it was time for the two to leave.

"Ok," said Theodore, "Let's go." Theodore and Hank towed Conrad Explorer out to the entrance of the harbour. After they reached Blandford buoy, Theodore said, "Wait here." And he and Theodore returned to the harbour. The two returned to tow Cumberland out as well.

"Here he is!" explained Hank. "Yes," said Cumberland. "We're going to start serving as a double container ship order," explained Conrad Explorer. "Meaning we're going to carry goods together," explained Cumberland. "That's great of you two!" said Hank. "Yes," agreed Theodore.

"Thank," said Cumberland, "For allowing me to see Conrad again." "And I thank you two for bringing me to Cumberland." "No problem," said Theodore. "We must be off now," said Conrad Explorer. "Hope to see you again real soon!" said Cumberland. The two set off together.

"Bye!" said Theodore and Hank together. "We will meet again!" said Conrad Explorer. Theodore and Hank watched two until they've disappeared over the horizon.

"I know that we're going to be friends forever," thought Hank. "Yes, Hank," agreed Theodore, "We will." And the two set off back to the harbour.
