Thomas the Tank Engine, #1 thread.
“Oh, so that was you!”

The tank engine was surprised.

“Yeah no, thanks for that. That thing NEEDED to go!”
"...at least you remembers me. who do ya think got that damn reboot off the air?"

he points at the blue tank engine.

"yer welcome fer that, by the way."
Thomas looked at the newcomer.

“Hey, no one’s saying you aren’t here! You’re just…a little hard to spot.”

Thomas you’re not helping-

Thomas you’re not helping-
"i'm here too, y'know."

he'll never admit it, but he's always been a little jealous of how well-liked the other children's mascots are. he's always been the odd one out, and he hates it.

Hearing that, Thomas groaned, eyes rolling.

“Oh, TELL ME about it! You should SEE what they’ve been putting on those televisions parading as us! Last I saw, they were jumping OFF THE RAILS! It was such a horrible sight for the island!”

He doesn’t exactly know the situation, but he’s got the idea-
"Going great! I've decided that I'm coming back into the light after a certain UNICORN came along to muddy the waters. These kids need somebody to be there for them!"
“Barney?! Hey!”

He’s surprised to be seeing him again, but he’s happy all the same!

“Things have been going well on Sodor, branch line’s doing fine as well more importantly. How’re things with you?”

"Thomas the Tank Engine? Oh my stars. It's been forever! How are you my friend?"

The station was as quiet as it could be for a busy station for a bit…

H: “Soooo…are you waiting for a specific passenger train or?” Asked the number 3.
"bye-bye thomas!!!"

she waves at him as he leaves.
Just then, the guard’s whistle on Thomas’ platform sounded.

“Oh, that’s my cue! Was a pleasure meeting you…uh, tall lady!”

With a blow of his whistle, the tank engine set off out of Knapford and towards his branch line.

she just sits there, kicking her legs proudly.

:3
Both Thomas and Henry are speechless, Henry especially, blush forming on the big engine’s gray face.

H: “Oh, wow. I…I never thought I’d meet a fan! More often than not it’s usually Thomas with all the fans.”

“What can I say, Henry! It’s certainly one of the best choices!”

"A FAN?!?!?"

she scrambles in her purse and pulls out her phone. it's got a green case, a bunch of henry-themed keychains. the background is the number three in henry's font, and it makes a sound like henry's whistle.

"oh, venus texted me!"

she answers the text, before showing them the phone.
“Not ‘a’ Henry, ‘the’ Henry.”

He states with a small grin, looking to the big green engine.

Henry takes notice the lady’s expression.

H: “Are…are you a fan?” He asked.

:0

"thomas, is that a henry?"

she's kicking her legs so fast that they're literally a blur.
Before Thomas could say anything else, a whistle sounded as a big, green, number 3 engine backed down on some coaches, he looked over and spotted the group, it’s Henry! Although he looked different than he did in the woman’s book.

Henry: “Morning Thomas! Who’s your friend?”

(You’re welcome :3)

He looked back over at her.

“I’m Thomas. The number one engine and the sole engine who runs the MOST important part of the railway!”

And the smirk came RIGHT back! His eyes move to the coaches behind him.

“And these lovely ladies are my lovely coaches, Annie and Clarabel!”
"henry, right!"

she pauses.

"but...who are YOU? i might as well learn as much as i can while i'm here, and you seem like a pleasant fella!"

:>
The tank engine didn’t say much, staring at the book as the lady explained, then his face dropped as he sighed.

“That’s Henry, he’s…somewhere around here.”

He rolled his eyes a little, don’t mind him, he’s just being Thomas.

"you're not in the book i borrowed from my friend, but you look a lot like the machines in it."

she shows him the book in question, being the three railway engines. she points to the sickly green one.

"that one's my favourite!"
Well, that’s awkward.

The engine’s smirk slowly straightened into a blank, somewhat surprised stare at the question.

“…I’m sorry?”

“…I’m sorry?”
"NUMBER! that's what it's called! sorry, i'm still getting my head wrapped around all this human terminology-"

she looks at him for a moment.

"wait, you're not green. or big. or three. hmmm..."

she compares him to a picture.

"oh. s-sorry, i thought you were someone else-"

"...who ARE you?"
Thomas couldn’t help but be a bit amazed, he’s never seen a person that tall before. The tank engine perked up at the mention of the books and show, a cocky smirk crossing his gray face.

“Oh, looks like we’ve gotta fan! Always a pleasure to meet a fan of the number one!”

He said proudly.

"huh?"

the giant space lady turns around to face thomas. she's about seven feet tall.

"oh, you must be one of those human-made things! hiiii!!!!!"

she sits on the edge of the platform like it's a bench.

"you kind of look like the blue guy from the telly program! or the books!"
The tank engine puffs into Knapford Station, pulling his faithful coaches with a smile.

“Ah, another great day for working on the most important line on the railway!”

He puffed proudly to himself, before he spotted [READER] on the platform.

“Oh, hello! You look new around here, I’m Thomas!”
