CHAPTER 1: NORMAN IN BIG TROUBLE
PREVIOUSLY, ON 'FIREMAN SAM: THE GREAT FIRE OF PONTYPANDY'...
"You made a campfire?!" said an outraged Station Officer Steele. "Oh... Norman Price, you've done it this time! Right, where's your mother!"
Dilys stepped up. "I'll make sure he's properly dealt with at home, Station Officer Steele!" She glared angrily at her son. "You naughty boy!"
And indeed, Norman was.
At Dilys' shop, Dilys was scolding Norman and Derek severely.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" Dilys shouted at her son. "HOW COULD YOU DISOBEY THE RULE OF NO CAMPFIRES IN THE FOREST?!"
"Well, it wasn't my fault!" Norman said defiantly. "Trevor wouldn't let us take the sandwiches you made! If he had, me and Derek wouldn't have had to take the sausages to the forest and make that campfire!"
"WELL, HOW COME I SMELT SAUSAGES COOKING?!" Dilys snapped. "Oh, right; BECAUSE YOU AND DEREK HAD THE NERVE TO DISOBEY TREVOR AND FIREMAN SAM!" Her voice rose to a scream.
"But- but..." Norman stammered.
"BUT NOTHING!" Dilys shouted, now apparently furious. "Norman Stanley Price, and Derek Price, you two are grounded! Go to your room!"
Norman and Derek were both gobsmacked. Dilys had never used his middle name when she was angry before. I suppose there's a first time for everything, huh?
Immediately after this, Norman broke down in tears. Needless to say, Dilys and Station Officer Steele were very unsympathetic.
"Nobody loves me!" he howled. "I shall run away! I shall!" he said angrily. "You're all so horrid!"
Steele and Dilys were both shocked and offended at this. "Don't you dare speak to your mother like that, Norman Price!" Steele scolded.
"Shut up, you... you... PIG-FACE!" Norman yelled, making Station Officer Steele and Dilys gasp, quite shocked, insulted, and hurt.
Norman, his eyes full of tears, quickly ran up to his room. Derek, also as gobsmacked as he had been, followed cautiously.
Fireman Sam and Elvis, who had been watching this from outside, looked shocked and worried.
"Do you think Norman Price really will run away, Sam?" Elvis asked.
"No, I don't think he would, Elvis." Sam said. "He was just being silly. I'm sure he'll forget all about it soon enough."
I'm sorry to say that Fireman Sam was wrong - Norman decided that he WAS gonna run away, and do it he did.
Norman was already talking about his idea to run away from home. And he told Derek that he could come too.
"Norman, are you sure this is a good idea?" Derek asked.
"Trust me, Derek," said Norman, "I've never been sure in all my life."
"It's just, well," Derek began, "Well, we could get into a lot of trouble."
"We're already in trouble with the campfire, remember." Norman said. "What's a little more trouble gonna do?"
Derek was worried about this, but he reluctantly agreed to join Norman.
Later that day, Norman Price was busy writing a letter, telling anyone who read it that he and Derek were running away.
The letter read, "Dear anyone who reads this letter:'
'Don't bother looking for us, cause me and Derek are running away to Newtown and we will never ever EVER be coming back, EVER!'
'GOODBYE FOREVER, YOU SMELLY OLD PIG-FACES!'
'NORMAN PRICE'
"Done." Norman said to himself. Immediately, he began to feel much happier. "When everyone's asleep tonight, We'll sneak out the back door, and run away!" He chuckled naughtily to himself. "This is so exciting!"
Derek chuckled too, albet a bit weakly, and worried.
