Later, Percy was pulling into the docks with his stone trucks when he saw Thomas and Belle, Thomas was giving Belle a tour around Sodor. Percy started to feel left out. As Percy watched as Thomas and Bell left, Diesel oiled up alongside him.
"Hello, Percy." Diesel said, slyly.
"Hello, Diesel." Percy said, sadly.
"I see you and Thomas have been getting rather...distant." Diesel said. He was right. Percy and Thomas were becoming less distant as friends, now that Thomas was showing Belle around the island and now was excited about Flynn.
"And?" Percy asked Diesel.
"I have a friend at the Dieselworks in Vicarstown. He says he would like to meet you." Diesel said. Percy felt a little better, now that he had gotten news of someone wanting to see him and more importantly, be his friend.
The next day, Sir Topham Hatt had an important job for Percy.
"Flynn the fire engine will be arriving next week, Percy. He will be needing his special fire fighting hose to the Sodor Search & Rescue Center."
"Yes, Sir."
Percy wanted to tell Thomas about his special, but he knew that Thomas would be too busy being with Belle. So he decided not to. Percy came up to the junction.

Then, a tall shed loomed in front of Percy. He was indeed scared, as he had no earthly clue what lay behind the doors. Suddenly, they cranked and clanked open. Diesel was the first to exit the building into the evening light.
"Hello, Percy. I would like to introduce you to my...friend. A clank of a claw was heard. Out of the shed came a terrifying sight-Diesel 10. He was flanked by his henchmen, Splatter and Dodge.
"Why if it isn't a little puffball-I mean, my new friend, Diesel was talking about..." he purred. Percy gasped with shock...
