Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends: Into the Thigh-Verse: Sea Shanty The Movie

Chapter 10: In the End

At last..
"It's finished!" Norma cheered! This was followed by a chorus of shouts and whistles!
"Well done!" Came a familiar voice. It was The Fat Controller, behind him were some very important looking visitors. "I am very proud of you!"
"How come?" York was puzzled. "We didn't exactly finish the harbour in time."
"And I nearly became a fish." Added Edward.
"More like a whale." Kate snickered to Mavis, who just gave her a solemn look in return.
"Who cares about that!?" Bellowed the railways controller. "What you've done for me, this harbour and this railway is no small feat! Even in the face of danger, you never gave up!"
He paused impressively.
"You are all really useful engines!" The three engines only smiled.
"Oh sir, thank you sir!" They all sang out.
"As a reward, tomorrow, I'm sending you all for a fresh coat of paint, and for Edward to have his brakes mended, of course." Edward blushed. "And, for the crew, a handsome bonus."
This made all the crew smile.

At last, the celebrations were over. Harvey was lifted off the flat truck, who thanked the three engines profusely. And, once everything was ready, the guests all piled into Zorran's coaches. As the big green engine chunted away up the hill, they all called out.
"Well done York! Well done Skizz! Well done Edward!" The three engines only smiled, before, they too set out for home.

That night, Zorran returned home to find all three having a thurrar hose down. He spoke kindly to them.
"I'm sorry I was so rude." He said.
"Oh, that's alright." Edward replied. "Being hot and bothered is something else, let me tell you."
"You three were splendid." Zorran added. "How you ever kept up is beyond me!"
"Lots, and I mean lots of sleepless nights." Jessie grumbled. "Don't recommend it."
"What about-?" Zorran stopped, and could only smile. As the sight of all three engines, sound asleep was enough to melt even the coldest of hearts.
"Well done.." Zorran whispered, as he backed off. "You're all true credits to our railway."

Donald stood at the stand-pipe, filling his tender with water. He smiled as Gordon puffed in, a smug look on his face.
"Guess who didn't "fuck it up"?" Gordon smirked proudly. Donald tutted.
"No true. Edward nearly took a dive intae the drink. Sae, technically, A win."
"But, he didn't." Gordon rebutted. "So I still win.. Say.. This does raise a good question."
"What's that?" Donald's driver replied, turning off the hosepipe.
"How would you translate this into a story?" Gordon quizzed. "Surely, it's too long for a single stand alone episode. And it's not like you can just explain the harbour rebuild away.. So much happened in the space of a month!"
"Whit aboot our wee bet? wad ye include Gordon's loss?" Donald smirked. Gordon just huffed to himself. Jack just laughed.
"Who knows?" He finished. "Maybe it could be a movie."
