A celebrity is in town and TMZ is full force at the sheds. All the engines, residents of Sodor, and The Fat Controller are there to met the celebrity. The Fat Controller even agrees to let his engines speak to this celebrity. The celebrity is the City Of Truro.
But he doesn't have a face.
Gordon arrives late to the party. But he is rather disinterested or jealous. Probably jealous. He just leaves without even looking.
The engines that night, speak to The City Of Truro. They find him to be rather polite.
The visitor leaves the next day. Gordon, Duck, and Thomas sit next to each other discussing him. Gordon is glad he is gone.
Thomas explains, "The City Of Truro, reached over 100 mph before Gordon was a glimmer in his manufacturer's eye."
Gordon states, "It would be easy for him to do. And that no one should trust a domeless engine. "(Of course he would say that)
Duck's grin says it all.
Duck takes a load to Total Hottie Edward's station. Edward is star struck. The City Of Truto went through his station and whistled at him. (Edward is totally fan boying it.)
I nearly fainted. But, I don't think I can do that.
Duck tells Edward what Gordon had said early. Edward dismisses it as typical Gordon huff. Edward then points out that Gordon is coming down the line that very moment. Gordon puffs as fast he can through the station and Duck just hopes he falls apart. (I think we all do, Duck)
Gordon's crew begs for him to slow down. Gordon refuses to and then he feels it. Gordon's boiler begins to loosen. He starts to slow down. But, he was too late. While crossing the viaduct, he looses the dome. (Hey the viaduct is actually not being worked on)
Don't worry Gordon, a frog will use it to race down the river.
Gordon arrives at the Knapford, quite embarrassed. To him it is like being pant less. The trucks of course, laughed at him because they are asses. But hey, this Gordon. He needs it.
Gordon begs his driver to stop on the way back to the sheds, to find his dome. The driver refuses and tells Gordon he'll have to go to The Works to get a new one.
Gordon arrives at the sheds, with all the other engines waiting for him. A small voice mocks him with, "Never trust domeless engines." Gordon goes to bed with no respect.
No Respect!
