Awhile later, Theodore and Emily were bringing Hudson into the Big Harbor. The sun was boring down on their smoke stacks and the warm waves were lapping against their hulls. Pearl oversaw the towing as Emily and Theodore guided the cargo ship carefully around Willy's Island. The harbor tug was wondering if everyone has met Bonnie yet. He couldn't see where she was on his side. "Hudson?" He called. "Do you where Bonnie is?" Well The cargo ship looked around for his friend but he didn't see her either. "Nope," He said. "Nope I don't- Oh wait there she is! Looks like your Dispatcher put her straight to work."

Theodore smiled; he remembered his first day in the harbor. Though the Dispatcher had him look around instead of putting him to work. He wondered if she missed her friends back at her old harbor. He'll have to think about that later though. Right now he needed to focus on getting Hudson to his dock to unload his cargo.

Just then Hank floated by with Brunswick. He was taking the last load to the shipyards for the day. The smallest tug blew his whistle at Emily and Theodore in greeting. He started to search the ship with his eyes to see if there was anything special amongst the cargo. But all the little tug could see was…cargo. Hank was a little confused. "Theodore?" He called, "Emily? Did you see what our surprise was?"

Emily whistled back. "We did." She smiled. "'She' already arrived in the harbor before we did." Theodore was smiling too. He was wondering if Hank caught it. But poor Hank was more confused than he was a moment ago. "She?" He asked.

"You'll see!" Theodore called as he helped to keep Hudson steady. He was eager to tell his friend. But then he decided to hold off. Hank would find out soon enough.

The smallest tug floated there for a little while with Brunswick. He was trying to figure out what his friends meant. But he knew one thing. "I guess its not magic flying powder is it. Brunswick?" He said sounding little disappointed. The barge looked at his, thinking of a way to cheer him up. "Maybe," He started. "Maybe it's like a double surprise!"

"A double surprise?" Hank repeated.

"Yea! We don't know if the ship actually has magic flying powder. But as for the 'other' surprise, well all we know it's a she."

Hank began to take the barge its last load to the shipyards. Everything began to slowly click. "If our surprise is a she, then it's not something." He said slowly. "It's someone and usually it's other tugboats that do work…like this…" A big bright smile that could've outshone the sun came on his face. His engines started revving up along with his speed. Brunswick was a little surprised at his sudden excitement and wanted in on it. "Hank? What is it?"

"C'mon Brunswick!" The little tugboat shouted. "We better get our work done quickly so we can meet the new tugboat!" And off he went with Brunswick to the shipyards as fast as he could.

-End-


It took Hank a minute to figure it out didn't it ;). So now we have an extremely excited Hank. Along with an excited Brunswick.

It's going to slowly get harder from here. Since introductions are nearly done.
