But wait, they are in luck. The Fat Controller has arrived. He informs them that they are really not that important and that he has bought Percy. And if they promise to be good they shall be free to work.
lame
He also sends Edward, Percy, and Thomas to play on the branch line for a few days. Thomas gathers Annie and Clarabel while, Edward and Percy play with trucks. Edward leaves for the quarry and Thomas to the line. Percy is all alone. He continues to shunt and be cheeky to the other engines.
After that excitement, he waits for the signal man to switch him to the tracks that lead to the yard. Once again, we find that Edward has warned Percy, "To be careful on The Mainline and whistle at signal man."
But, Percy forgets. Of course! He is stuck for a while. Finally he looks in front of him and freaks. He whistles as he sees Gordon heading towards him.
Oh no, he is going to poop poop me!
Gordon yells at Percy to move but, he can't. Gordon slams on the brakes and barely misses Percy.
"This isn't is what it looks like, I swear." said Gordon
Percy opens his eyes and finds this. He has a total spaz out and starts to move backwards. We watch Percy run through assorted landmarks backwards. He starts to wear out but, he can not stop due to not having a crew.
One of the signal men who actually pays attention to his job sees runaway Percy and switches the line. Percy goes off into a siding and into some dirt stopping him.
Woooo!
Workmen come along and start to dig him out. Gordon also arrives and pulls Percy out. He actually compliments Percy for starting so fast he avoided an accident. And Percy apologizes for being a Thomas Jr.
Did someone drug Gordon?
