-Early Morning-

Thomas is sizzling happily, but feeling tired, in the knapford harbor sheds as his drivers are getting him ready for the day.

Thomas' driver

It's another big day for us, Thomas. Are you ready to go?

Thomas is a bit tired.

Thomas

Yawns I guess I am ready. I'm still tired from last night though.

Thomas' driver

You really feel like sleeping again, don't you?

Thomas

Yes, Clark, I'm that tired...

Thomas' driver

Well, I'm sure you'll be ready soon!

Just a few minutes later, Thomas is finally sizzling happily in the shed and ready to work. Sir Topham Hatt approaches Thomas.

Sir Topham

Good morning, Thomas! Are you ready for another hard day of work?

Thomas

No, no I'm not.

Sir Topham

Come on, Thomas, just because a bunch of big engines from Tidmouth sheds shooed you away, doesn't mean you shouldn't feel motivated to work.

Thomas

But I don't wanna!

Sir Topham

Thomas?

Thomas

Ok, fine. I'm ready to work.

Thomas is really being sarcastic.

Sir Topham

Now that's what I'd like to hear! First thing of the day. I need you to go to the repair shop at Vicarstown station for a repaint.

Thomas

A repaint? What for?

Sir Topham

You see, the North Western Railway has its own livery. Have you noticed how Edward is blue with red stripes?

Thomas

I... guess?

Sir Topham

You're going to be painted just like him.

Thomas

What's so special about blue and red stripes?
