00:00Thomas and Percy are good friends, but sometimes Percy teases Thomas about being frightened, and he doesn't like that at all.
00:09One evening he was dozing happily, but Percy wanted to talk.
00:13Wake up, Thomas. Are you dreaming about the time you thought I was a ghost?
00:17Certainly not. Anyway, I was only pretending to be scared. I knew it was you, really.
00:23Percy went on teasing him.
00:25I hope the guard leaves the light on for you tonight.
00:29Why? asked Thomas.
00:31I quite like the dark.
00:32Oh, really? exclaimed Percy.
00:34I am surprised. I always thought you were afraid of the dark. I wonder why.
00:40Thomas decided to say nothing and went to sleep instead.
00:46Next day Sir Topham Hatt came to see him.
00:49I would like you to go to the harbor tonight. You have to collect something rather unusual.
00:55What sort of something? asked Thomas.
00:57Wait and see, replied Sir Topham Hatt.
01:00Meanwhile, Percy was moving freight cars into a siding.
01:03Henry arrived with his goods train.
01:05The signalman changed the switches and Percy waited on the siding until Henry had steamed by.
01:14Then there was trouble.
01:16The switches are jammed, called the signalman.
01:19I can't switch them back for Percy.
01:21The workmen will have to mend them in the morning. It's too late now.
01:25Hmm, said Percy's driver.
01:27I'm sorry, Percy, but you'll have to stay here for the night.
01:31Where are you going? asked Percy.
01:33Home for tea, replied the fireman.
01:36Percy was speechless.
01:39He watched as the other engines went home to the shed.
01:44Nighttime came and Percy began to feel very lonely.
01:48Oh, dear, he murmured. It's very dark.
01:56Oh, oh, what's that?
01:59It was only an owl, but Percy didn't realize this.
02:03Oh, I wish Thomas were here too, he sighed.
02:08Thomas was waiting for his mysterious load at the harbor.
02:13Suddenly, there it was.
02:18Cinders and ashes, cried Thomas. It's a dragon.
02:22Don't worry, laughed his driver.
02:24This dragon is made of paper. It's for the carnival tomorrow.
02:30Workmen lifted the dragon onto Thomas' low loader and put lights all around it for protection.
02:36Then Thomas set off into the misty night.
02:40Percy was asleep on his siding and had no idea that Thomas was approaching him.
02:58Percy woke up with a start.
03:03Help!
03:05What?
03:08Help, cried Percy. I'm not going to open my eyes until my driver comes.
03:15Next morning, the switches were mended and Percy puffed back to the junction.
03:20Gordon was just about to leave with the express.
03:23You'll never guess what I saw last night.
03:26Gordon was in no mood for puzzles.
03:28I'm a busy engine. I don't have time for your games.
03:32I've seen a huge dragon. It was covered in lights.
03:36Gordon snorted. You've been in the sun too long. Your dome has cracked.
03:44When the other engines heard the news, they laughed too.
03:50Look out, Percy, chuckled James, or the dragon may gobble you up.
03:54No one believes me, huffed Percy.
03:58Maybe I did imagine the dragon after all.
04:03But Percy soon found out that he hadn't.
04:07Help! Save me, cried Percy.
04:10It's all right, whistled Thomas, and he explained about the carnival.
04:14By the way, how was your night out?
04:17Percy decided to tell Thomas the truth.
04:20Well, Percy, said Thomas, maybe we do get scared sometimes.
04:24But if we're not afraid to tell each other, then that means we're quite brave too.
