Dialogue

[Everyone cheered, whistles and honks as confetti was launched into the air]

Percy: Thomas! You were gone so long, we thought you were never going to come home!

Gordon: Even I missed you, Thomas.

Mr. Percival: Congratulations, Thomas! Oh, and who might this be?

Thomas: Oh, Mr. Percival! This is my friend, Nia. I wouldn't have have made it without her.

Emily: Hi, Nia!

Gordon: Hello!

James: Welcome to Sodor!

Nia: Thank you and hello to all of you too!

Thomas: Nia is going to be staying here with us! I just need to speak to Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller.

Mr. Percival: But I thought he'd be with you.

Thomas: Me? Why me?

Percy: Because he went looking for you.

Gordon: We thought he must have found you and was bringing you home again.

[Thomas look at James and Emily who look at each other in shock]

Percy: So, if he’s not with you?

Thomas: Then where in the world is he?

[Scene changes to a ship heads to China where Sir Topham Hatt is wearing a sailor's hat while being seasick]
