[Thomas, Lady and Burnett Stone return to the well.]
Thomas: Mr. Conductor, you still don't have your gold dust.
Lady: I think he will soon.
Mr. Conductor: Wait a minute. "Then watch the swirls that spin so well."
Patch: Swirls. Like the shavings around Lady when we were on the railroad.
Lily: Is there anything else?
Junior: Of course there is. "So well." A well means water.
[Junior retrieves a bucket of water from the well.]
Mr. Conductor: Lily, put the shavings in with the water.
[Lily mixes the shavings and water in a water dish.]
Burnett Stone: Go ahead, Lily. Throw it up in the air.
Junior: Please. Please.
Thomas & Lady: Now, Lily.
[Lily throws the shavings into the air, which turns into gold dust.]
Lily: Gold dust!
Burnett Stone: Gold dust!
Junior: Gold dust!
[Mr. Conductor and Junior collect the gold dust in their whistles as it falls to the ground.]
Thomas: Lady, you're a really helpful engine.
Lady: And helping each other brings to life the magic in all of us.
[Soon Mr. Conductor and Junior have gather all the gold dust.]
Patch: Come on, Mutt. Let's look around.
[Patch and Mutt wander off.]
Junior: Lily, I think I promised you something. Here. Take some.
[Junior pours some gold dust into Lily's hand, and they then hug each other. Then Lily goes to sit with Burnett Stone, and Junior turns to face Mr. Conductor.]
Junior: So Cous, how else can I help?
Mr. Conductor: You mean, you don't want to go back to the beach?
Junior: Nah. Well, maybe for a holiday. But I'm ready to work. You got a job for me?
Mr. Conductor: You know Junior, there is a railroad.
Junior: With palm trees?
Mr. Conductor: One or two.
Junior: And sunshine?
Mr. Conductor: Sunny spells.
Junior: I'll take it. What's the way?
[Mr. Conductor gives Junior a conductor's hat.]
Mr. Conductor: This is the way.
[Junior takes the conductor's hat from Mr. Conductor and puts it on sideways. Before Mr. Conductor can say anything, Junior salutes him and sparkles away. Just then, a nearby bellflower starts ringing and Mr. Conductor answers it.]
Mr. Conductor: Hello? Oh, yes, Sir Topham Hatt, Sir. You're on your way back right now. Well, splendid news. I'll be at the sheds to welcome you. Oh, yes, Sir. Everything is under control. Goodbye, Sir.
[Mr. Conductor puts down the bellflower and looks at Lily and Burnett Stone.]
Mr. Conductor: Well, see you in Shining Time.
[Mr. Conductor sparkles away. Lily turns to face her Grandpa.]
Lily: Here, Grandpa. I'd like you to have this.
[Lily gives her Grandpa the gold dust that Junior had given her.]
Burnett Stone: Well, how sweet of you, Lily. Here. Give me the bluebird. I think we should share it.
[Burnett Stone pours the gold dust over Lily's bluebird toy.]
Burnett Stone: Now we'll always remember our Shining Time together.
[Rainbows appear on the bluebird. At Shining Time, everywhere is flocked with happy people.]
Stacy Jones: Have a great time.
[Mr Conductor is tending the flowers, when he finds an ice cream in the box of flower food.]
Mr. Conductor: Ah!
[Mr. Conductor eats the ice cream. On Sodor, Thomas is puffing home into the sunset.]
Mr. Conductor: (Narrating) And so we've come to the happy end of our story and it's time for all of us to go home, just like Thomas.
