Gordon thought he was indeed late. And Percy just laughs like a twerp at him. But in all honestly, Gordon deserves to be tormented. Percy pulls out showing Gordon his nasty coal trucks. Did Thomas not warn Percy, that Gordon seeks revenge?
"I hate you..." glared Gordon.
James come on down! You're the next contestant on Percy's Assholery Train!
Percy chugs up next to James and tells him, "To stay in the shed today, The Fat Controller wants to see him."
James gets all excited and assumes it is because The Fat Controller thinks he is all that and bag of chips and has a special train for him.
Seriously though, is James okay?
James' crew could not get the ginger engine to move. The other engines were getting pretty p/oed about having to pick up his loads. The Inspector arrives looking very handsome in his handlebar mustache.
One more and we'll have a barbershop quartet. Where is Edward's fireman when you need him?
The Inspector tries to urge James to move but, James insists The Fat Controller wants him badly. So, The Inspector drops the bomb that The Fat Controller is in Vegas, Canada, or somewhere for the week. James is aghast and puffs to find Percy.
Percy being a sneaky snake sneaks off before he can be found.
A week later, The Fat Controller speaks to James and Percy.
They have some 'plaining to do.
The next morning or a few days from the talk, who knows, but anyhow, Percy was being careless. He puffs up to Gordon and James and starts to brag about how The Fat Controller loves him and has gave him a special job pulling trucks to Thomas' junction.
James most likely correct, tells Percy that, "He wants you out of the way."
Gordon looks at James so hard trying to scheme, James' face falls off.
CURSE YOU GORDON!
Gordon tells Percy, "We were just speaking of signals. You can never be sure of them. But oh dear Percy, you know everything."
Percy pees his pants from the back handed compliment. James goes on to tell him about a backing signal. Percy insists that he knows all about them and there no need to explain. He then heads off.
Percy arrives at a signal. It is set at danger. Of course it is! The signal malfunctions and moves up instead of down. Of course it did! Percy never saw this before. Of course he didn't!
And his eyes derped. Of course they did!
He figures it is the backing signal. Percy's driver yells at him to go. And Percy goes but, backwards. Percy stops once the driver yells at him. And tells him about what Gordon and James had said. The driver explains to Percy that he is stupid.
Percy tries to start up before they see him but, Gordon did.
That night, the mockery begins. And Percy spends the night embarrassed.
Why do I imagine Percy speaking like Piglet?
