[Mr. Conductor finds a bell flower and calls Junior. Junior wakes up when he hears his shell phone ring.]

Junior: That's my shell phone! Hello?

Mr. Conductor: Junior? Junior is that you?

Junior: Oh, hi Cous. Are you in a tunnel? This isn't a very good line.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, where are you?

Junior: Um... I'm in paradise. I just got on cloud nine, and here I am.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, listen to me. You've got to come to the Island of Sodor right now.

Junior: Now? But I'm waiting on the perfect wave!

Mr. Conductor: Oh no you're not! You're coming here. You have to help me find the source of all our family's gold dust.

Junior: What is the source?

Mr. Conductor: That's the trouble, Junior. I haven't a clue.

Junior: And I've used up most of my gold dust, too.

Mr. Conductor: What? Then go to Shining Time Station first, and in my signal house, in the box, under the staircase, you'll find my emergency whistle with the last of my supply. Please take care of this Junior, and- don't talk to anyone about the buffers!

Junior: What buffers?

Mr. Conductor: Sh!

'Junior: This is a really bad line. Hello?! My shell phone's not working properly.

Mr. Conductor: Juinor you've got to come here right away! I'm counting on you!

Junior: Hello?

[The call is cut off.]

Junior: I want my money back.

[Meanwhile, Lily arrives at Shining Time Station. She is confused when she sees the name of the station.]

Lily: Shining Time? What does that mean?

[Mutt barks at Lily.]

Lily: Do you want me to get off here?

[Mutt barks at Lily again. Lily gets off the train and enters the waiting room with Mutt.]

Lily: Where is everyone? What have you brought me here for?

[Then Lily hears a Junior's voice inside Mr. Conductor's signal house.]

Junior: That's gonna leave a mark! Oh! Maybe it's in here. Oh, cake! Ugh, that's not cake! How cute. Six little... Five little glass figurines.

[Lily knocks on the signal house window.]

Junior: Hello?

[Junior sparkles outside the signal house.]

Junior: This is too much. I've got to get back to the island. I've got to get to cousin.

[Junior notices Lily.]

Junior: Hiya. Who are you?

Lily: I'm Lily. Who are you?

Junior: C. Junior. Did I drop some sunglasses when I came in here?

Lily: I don't know.

Junior: Oh, well, I might as well use some more of this stuff. See you, Lily.

[Junior sparkles away and Lily notices the gold dust he's left behind.]

Lily: What is this stuff?

[On Sodor, Mr. Conductor is lying by a bush next to the railway. Without his gold dust, he starts getting weaker and he has a bad dream.]
