Sodor Fallout: Rewrite

Tidmouth Shed Rescuers

**Setting:** A bustling railway yard where Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are gathered. Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Henderson are discussing a plan while the engines look on curiously. ---

**Sir Topham Hatt:** (looking around) Alright, everyone, we need to act quickly. Thomas is hiding, and we must ensure he stays safe. 

**Mr. Henderson:** (nodding) Yes, Thomas needs to stay hidden until we can sort out this situation. Can his crew stay in his cab? 

**Percy:** (worried) But what if someone sees them?

 **Toby:** (calmly) We'll just have to be careful. We can help keep watch. 

**Emily:** (determined) I'll keep an eye out! We can't let anything happen to Thomas. 

**Rosie:** (enthusiastic) I'm in! Let's make sure he stays safe. **Jinty:** (curious) Where are we headed, Sir Topham Hatt?

 **Sir Topham Hatt:** (pointing) We're setting a course for Krigstern Station. It's the safest place for now.

 **Pug:** (concerned) But what about the other engines? Will they know what to do?

 **Marclick:** (reassuringly) We'll send word. They'll understand the importance of keeping quiet. 

**Henrietta:** (cheerfully) I just hope Thomas is alright. He's such a brave engine!

**Setting: A quiet, moonlit railway station where Thomas the Tank Engine sits on a track, visibly upset. Emily, his girlfriend, stands close by, gently nudging him with her tender presence.**

 **Thomas:** (voice trembling) I just don't understand, Emily. I feel so stupid. I broke down in front of everyone. How could I let that happen? 

**Emily:** (softly) Thomas, it's okay. Everyone has tough days. You're not stupid; you're just... having a hard time right now. 

**Thomas:** (sobbing) But I let everyone down! I'm supposed to be strong and dependable. Instead, I'm just a mess! 

**Emily:** (gently) Listen, even the strongest engines have moments of weakness. It doesn't make you any less special. You've done so much for everyone. 

**Thomas:** (wiping a tear) It just feels like I failed. I can't shake this feeling of disappointment.

 **Emily:** (placing her side against him) You didn't fail. You're allowed to feel sad. It's part of being who you are. I'm here for you, Thomas, just like you promised to be there for me.

 **Thomas:** (sniffling) You really mean that? You won't leave me? **Emily:** (smiling softly) Of course not! We'll get through this together. You mean the world to me, and I believe in you.

 **Thomas:** (taking a deep breath) Thank you, Emily. I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm just so overwhelmed right now. 

**Emily:** (nodding) It's alright. Let it all out. Cry as much as you need to. I'll be right here with you all night. 

**Thomas:** (after a long pause, voice steadier) I feel a little better just having you here. Maybe... maybe I can try to be strong again someday. 

**Emily:** (gently) You will, Thomas. One step at a time. Just remember, it's okay to ask for help. You don't have to go through this alone. 

**Thomas:** (with a small smile) I'll try, Emily. Thank you for being my rock. **Emily:** Always, Thomas. Always.

**Thomas:** and **Emily:** : Kissing On The Lips.

 **Thomas:** (from within the cab, voice muffled) I'm fine, everyone! Just focus on getting to Krigstern Station safely. 

**Sir Topham Hatt:** (smiling) That's the spirit, Thomas! Alright, everyone, let's roll out! 

**All Engines:** (together) Let's go, team! --- *The engines puff away, determined to keep their friend safe as they head toward Krigstern Station.*
