00:00Thomas and the spaceship.
00:05It was a foggy night on the island of Sodor.
00:13The engines' lamps burned brightly.
00:18And the fog swirled and twirled around their wheels as the engines headed home.
00:24All except for Percy.
00:30A valve had come loose in his cylinder.
00:34Percy had broken down.
00:36Thomas chuffed in.
00:39Hello, Percy, he tooted.
00:42Hello, he peeped happily.
00:47Thomas buffered up to Percy and they headed home towards Tidmouth's sheds.
00:54The fog was thick.
01:00Thomas wanted to be quick.
01:02Suddenly, Percy peeped.
01:04Look, Thomas, there are flashing lights in the sky.
01:08Thomas couldn't see any lights.
01:14It must be a spaceship, peeped Percy.
01:18A spaceship, puffed Thomas.
01:20Are you sure?
01:21Sure as I'm a little green engine, whistled Percy.
01:26He was very excited.
01:28And that made Thomas excited, too.
01:35Thomas and Percy arrived at Tidmouth's sheds.
01:38I've seen a spaceship, Percy whistled excitedly.
01:42Huh, snorted Gordon.
01:44What a foolish little engine.
01:46Thomas didn't like Gordon calling Percy foolish.
01:49Then, Sir Topham had arrived.
01:52Thomas, tonight you must take Percy's mail cars.
01:56Thomas was happy to do this.
01:58Now he could find Percy's spaceship.
02:01I'll show you that Percy isn't a foolish little engine, Thomas tooted to Gordon.
02:05And he set off into the fog.
02:17Thomas chuffed to the top of Gordon's hill.
02:20He was looking for the spaceship.
02:21There, in the distance, he saw some flashing lights.
02:36Hooray!
02:37Whistled Thomas.
02:38There's Percy's spaceship.
02:40And he wheeshed down the hill.
02:42Thomas puffed closer and closer.
02:50But it wasn't a spaceship.
02:53It was a circle of workmen's lights.
02:57The workmen were fixing some broken track.
03:01Thomas was very disappointed.
03:03I must find Percy's spaceship, he whistled.
03:07So, he chuffed on through the fog.
03:18Then, Thomas saw another flashing light.
03:22Hooray!
03:23He chuffed.
03:24There's Percy's spaceship.
03:25Thomas puffed closer and closer.
03:32But it wasn't Percy's spaceship.
03:35It was the lamp in the lighthouse flashing on and off.
03:39Father, puffed Thomas.
03:43But he still wanted to find Percy's spaceship.
03:46So, he puffed on through the fog.
03:48Thomas was very tired.
03:56And it was very late.
03:59He had searched everywhere.
04:03How was he going to show Gordon that Percy had seen a spaceship?
04:09Then, suddenly, he saw them.
04:13These flashing lights were moving in the sky.
04:15That must be Percy's spaceship, whistled Thomas.
04:19He was very excited.
04:21Thomas pumped his pistons and raced after the flashing lights.
04:27The spaceship was flying lower and lower in the sky.
04:33Suddenly, Thomas didn't feel tired anymore.
04:39Thomas's wheels clickety-clacked on the rails of the track
04:42to see Jeremy the plane
04:46coming in to land at the airport.
04:50Cinders and ashes, cried Thomas.
04:53Jeremy the plane must be Percy's spaceship.
04:57Thomas felt very sad.
05:01He hadn't found a spaceship.
05:03Worst of all, he had let down his friend Percy.
05:06Thomas puffed away.
05:10He was so tired, the mail cars felt very heavy now.
05:15Sir Topham Hatt will be crossed, sighed Thomas.
05:18I've spent all night looking for Percy's spaceship.
05:24Thomas knew that now he couldn't deliver the mail cars on time.
05:28He needed help.
05:29So he chuffed back to Tidmouth as fast as his aching axles would spin.
05:39When Thomas arrived at Tidmouth's sheds,
05:42Percy was still at the repair yard.
05:44How many spaceships did you find, puffed Gordon Grandly?
05:48It wasn't a spaceship, puffed Thomas sadly.
05:52It was Jeremy the plane coming in to land.
05:55Thomas felt foolish.
05:57But he still had to be really useful.
06:00Gordon, I need your help, he tooted.
06:04You are faster and stronger than any engine.
06:07If we share the cars,
06:08the mail can still be delivered by breakfast.
06:11This made Gordon feel important.
06:14And Gordon liked feeling important.
06:18So Gordon took half the mail cars
06:22and Thomas took the others.
06:28Until all the mail was delivered by breakfast.
06:32The next night there was no fog.
06:36Look, Thomas tooted.
06:38There's Jeremy the plane.
06:41He was very excited.
06:43All the engines watched Jeremy coming in to land at the airport.
06:47It was a magical sight.
06:50I think Jeremy's better than a spaceship any day, Pete Percy.
06:54And Thomas had to agree.
