Thomas Gets Tricked (Thomas & Gordon) GC Remake V3

Thomas is a tank engine, who works at a big station called Knapford on the Island of Sodor. His job is to fetch coaches for the other engines, then he takes them away when the engines finish their journeys. Thomas thinks he works the hardest and is often cheeky to the other engines, especially Gordon, the biggest and proudest engine of them all. Thomas likes to tease Gordon by blowing his whistle loudly when the big engine is resting and of course, this startles and annoys Gordon very much. One day, after pulling the express, Gordon arrives back at the sidings at Knapford and wants to rest before his next journey. But as he was just about to fall asleep, Thomas sneaks up in his cheeky way and blows his whistle repeatedly, telling Gordon to wake up and to do some hard work for a change. Thomas then runs off, laughing but this is the final straw for Gordon, and instead of going to sleep again, he begins to think of a way to get back at Thomas.

One morning, Thomas wouldn't wake up and his crew couldn't build up his fire no matter what they tried. It was nearly time for the express to leave and Gordon and the passengers wait impatiently for Thomas to bring the coaches to the platform. At last, Thomas starts and he hurries to the station get the coaches, which he then brings to the platform behind the express engine. Gordon then enacts his plan; he quickly backs down, couples up to his train and tells his passengers to get in quickly, while blowing his whistle. Thomas usually pushes behind the big trains to help them get a good start, but he is always uncoupled first. This time, however, Thomas' crew do not have time to uncouple him and Gordon quickly starts off, with Thomas being pulled along.

Gordon races through the Sudrian countryside to show Thomas just how hard it is to pull the express. Thomas has never gone so fast before, and before long, he is quite out of breath with his wheels aching but he is forced to go on. After a while, the express finally comes to a stop at Wellsworth Station. Thomas is soon uncoupled from the train and he feels very silly and exhausted. He gets turned around on the turntable nearby and moves onto a siding out of the way, where he has a long drink at the water tower. In the late afternoon, Thomas begins to think about how he doesn't need to tease Gordon to feel important and ponders that as he puffs slowly home.
