Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends: Into The Boob Verse.

High Class Henry

Early one morning Thomas arrived to the works station to see a hive of activity. There seemed to be lots of camera equipment lying about, and the station looked spotless. Even a helicopter stood to one side being readied.

"What's going on?"

Thomas quizzed aloud

"Haven't you heard!"

His stoker giggled.

"Royalty's coming to Sodor, they want to make every station and part of the railway spotless, The helicopter is here to film Henry pull the train!"

Thomas sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure he'll never stop talking about it."

He smiled, and continued to the yard.

Henry was of course feeling very pleased with himself, his driver had polished him at least 20 times. And the stoker had made sure he was in perfect working order, the other engines didn't share the enthusiasm.

"Royal trains indeed!"

James scoffed crossly.

"Make the rich richer I tell you! Half those in that ugly palace are as brain dead as they come!"

"First anyones ever heard you complain about royal trains."

Barry snickered.

"Mind you, they'd rather have a flashy big engine who couldn't stall on hills, and let's be honest, you're not known for that."

James snarled, and blew steam across the sheds.

"He does raise a good enough point."

Douglas chimed in.

"Seems like Henry was an odd pick for such a job? Surely a passenger engine would've made more sense?"

Henry grinned.

"Well of course they picked me! An engine as grand as me surely would be a top pick for any high distinction train!"

"Well, you weren't the first pick."

His driver chimed in.

"Gordon was, however he's busy with the express, so they said you'd 'Make do.'"

Henry's face fell as the sheds erupted into laughter.

"You were picked as you're one of the original engines, Settle with what they could g-"

"Yes I get it, Trixie, no need to rub salt in the wound."

Henry sniffed, he didn't stick around long, and quickly left for the yard.

When he arrived at the station the station was packed. The Fat Controller was waiting!

"Everything's all set."

He told the big green engine

"Camera's will be dotted along the lineside, and I'm sure we'll see a high turnover. Keep on your guard and make sure to follow the speed restrictions!"

He turned to the crew.

"We'll give him a good head of steam and make sure his language is tamer than usual."

"Goes for you two as well, keep it strictly professional."

Henry watched as his guard coupled him to the coaches. And what seemed like seconds later, the station exploded with life, and seemingly member's of the royal family boarded the train. He found the whole thing quite overwhelming. The Fat Controller turned to him, and smiled.
