I really enjoyed the chapter, Amtrak Smurf. You're really good at storytelling and creating relationships between the Smurfs and all of the Thomas & Friends characters.
Good job! ![[Techno Smurf]](graemlins/Techno_Smurf.gif)

Ladies and gentlemen, smurfs and smurfettes, I give you - drum roll please... [Drum rolling] Da,da-da-da! The final chapter, Chapter 12! I would like to thank for those who participated for reading my story, including newbies. But I do not want to thank for those who did not participated because of their forgetfulness, and I know who!
Now, about the "using your imagination" thing. As you all read my story, you think of it as watching a movie. And the story(movie) scene is live-action model animation(Thomas and Friends) mixed in with 2D animation(The Smurfs). And the people in the story are 3D CGI animation. Well, that's the imagination part.
And now, for the "listening voices in you head" thing. Well, we all know who provided the voices of The Smurfs. But for Thomas and Friends, the voices who provided the characters are the ones from the 2000 movie, Thomas and the Magic Railroad. But, I made some changes for the voicing's of the T&F characters. [Note: The voice actors/actresses from the movie are marked with a *]
Here's the list of it: The main characters
Narrator - Britt Allcroft* [Who was the voice of Lady]
Thomas - Edward Glen*
Edward - Ringo Starr [This engine never appeared in the movie]
Henry - Michael Angelis [Originally Kevin Frank but his voice acting of Henry is awful]
Gordon - Neil Crone*
James - Susan Ramon*
Percy - Linda Ballantyne*
Toby - Colm Feore*
Emily - Kate Winslet
Annie & Clarabel - Shelley Elizabeth Skinner*
The Troublesome Trucks - Various voice actors/actresses with high-pitched and squeaky voices
Sir Topham Hatt(AKA The Fat Controller) - Pierce Brosnan
Now for this list: The minor characters
Donald & Douglas/Spencer - Michael Brandon
Molly - Alice Evans
Rosie - various british girl
Billy - various british boy
Diesel - Pierce Brosnan
'Arry & Bert/Cranky - Kevin Frank*
Salty - Michael Angelis
Mavis - Natasha Richardson
And there you have it!
And again, Chapter 12 will be the final chapter! And this one is super long with a very sad(and eye tearing) but happy ending! So be there, or be puffed and smurfed! Toodles!

Chapter 12: Time To Puff And Smurf Good-bye
As the story is now coming to an end, here’s what we last puff and smurf off from our adventure. After suffering a third major accident and having a second change of heart, Grouchy and James had settled their feelings and became good new friends. And to celebrate it, the two new friends went off to spend some quality and smurfy time together, and of course, Baby Smurf wanted to come along with them too. But after chuffing through the countryside, Grouchy decided to spend some more time at a special and smurfy spot on Sodor, and James knows just the right place, which is one of the beaches along the Sodor Island Seaside. And they started out with Grouchy having a swim with Baby Smurf and with James watching over them. Then the two new friends had finally got to know each other, by talking about the things that they hate and love, and sharing each others secrets. And they ended it by watching the sun setting in the horizon, of which they didn’t know that they’re wasting time and stalling the Smurfs’ departure! Back at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas told his friends everything about Grouchy and James, and at first the Engines are shocked to hear about the #5 engine’s accident, but they’re very happy to hear about his and the once bad-tempered Smurfs’ newly formed friendship. And while Papa had started assembling the time crystals, the Engines and the Smurfs are having their long and final moments before the little blue time-travelers’ departure. Then Brainy rudely interrupted them by babbling his annoying quotations, but the Engines had shut the know-it-all Smurf up by wheeshing a big cloud of steam at him.(And it’s the same thing that James did to Grouchy when they had their uneventful argument.) Then suddenly, the Engines and the Smurfs realized that the sun is now setting, and although James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf have not arrived yet! So Emily, along with Smurfette, Vanity, and the Smurflings, volunteered to go search for them. But after all that chuffing and searching, the non-numbered engine was about to give up, but luckily, Smurfette thought of a way to solve it, “be someone like the other”. And Emily now knows where to find James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf, and indeed she did. The two new friends were surprised to see them, and the others told them why is because they have been searching for them, and it’s almost time for the Smurfs to leave. But there was trouble, Emily is almost out of water and couldn’t continue, but James puffed in to the rescue, and in no time, the mid-size red tender engine had coupled up the mid-size emerald tender engine, and they, along with the six Smurfs, are on their way back to Tidmouth Sheds. And after hearing his favorite song, James had puffed up his pride and willpower, and was really determined to get the little blue time-travelers there in time for their departure. So, you all are saying is; will James get there in time? Let’s all hope that he will, and remember, this is the final chapter!
Meanwhile, back at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas and only five of his friends, along with the 11 remaining Smurfs, are waiting very anxiously for Emily and the other four Smurfs to bring James, Grouchy, and Baby Smurf back to the sheds. But it’s been two hours since the non-numbered engine had puffed off to search for the #5 engine, and the Engines and the Smurfs are getting even more worried than ever. And after all that waiting and worrying, the Engines are losing their funnels, and the Smurfs are losing their minds. And not to mention driving each other crazy.
“[Sound of rattling]”
“Percy, please stop smurfing!” Jokey complained, “You’re driving me smurfy, and it‘s not funny at all!”
“Sorry, Jokey!” Peeped Percy as he stopped shaking.
“Hefty, would you please stop walking from left to right!” Boomed Gordon, “You’re puffing me dizzy!”
“Sorry, Gordon!” Said Hefty as he stopped.
“Ah, ah, ah,… ah-thoo!” Sneezed Henry.
“Ahhhh! Frere Jacques, I can’t smurf it anymore!” Shouted Painter, “Monsieur Henry, you’re zneezing iz driving me smurfy!”
“I’m sorry, Painter!” Wheeshed Henry, “But all that waiting and worrying is puffing me to sneeze!”
“Ok, that’s it!” Brainy yelled, “It’s official, James has smurfed confusion and delay!” Now he really sound just like the Fat Controller.
“And Papa Smurf, why do you let Grouchy smurf with James?!” Added Brainy, “He should’ve smurfed with us! But did he?! Oh, no! You just have to let him smurf with James so they can smurf some “smurfy time” together! And it’s like you said, Papa Smurf; that there is no time for…!”
“DO YOU WANT SOME MORE STEAM, BRAINY!” Grumbled the Engines.
“AND A TOSS TO SMURF WITH IT!” Snarled the Smurfs.
Brainy was frighten. “[GULP] On second thought, I’ll just smurf mysmurf behind Thomas’ dome. Aaaah!” And he cowardly and frightfully jumped up to Thomas’ boiler and hid himself behind his dome.
“Scaredy-Smurf.” Giggled Percy.
“I smurf to that. Ha-ha-ha!” Laughed Jokey.
“Papa Smurf, I’m really and truly am sorry.” Thomas puffed to the wizard Smurf, “But believe me, this isn’t like James at all.”
“And just what are you trying to smurf, Thomas?” Replied Papa.
“Well, I did say that James really is a dependable and reliable Engine,” Thomas said honestly, “But he’s also a seldom late sort of Engine. And what I was trying to puff is, is… Oh, bother! All I was trying to puff is, I just want James to puff some more time with Grouchy for a little bit longer before you all leave.”
“Well, Thomas.” Papa replied wisely, “I smurf the same way, too. But you know that we can’t smurf here for much longer. And we really want to smurf back at our own time period. And besides, I really miss my other 87 Smurfs.”
“And I miss Grandma Smurf.” Added Grandpa.
“[Purring] Me, too.” Said Smoogle.
“Hold the fire!” Tooted the Engines.
“Did Papa Smurf just said that there are more Smurfs than the 17 that are here with us?!” Edward puffed surprisingly.
“Oh, yes!” Tooted Thomas to his friends, “And I forgot to puff you all! With the 17 Smurfs here with us, there are 88 more at their time period. And when you all add them altogether, that gives a total of 105 Smurfs!”
“Whoa, 105 Smurfs?!” Stunned Gordon, Henry, and Percy, “Amazing!”
“And that’s a lot of Smurfs, too!” Ranged Toby.
“[SIGH] I miss my smurf gym.” Sighed Hefty sadly.
“I mizz my masterpizzas.” Painter said in misery.
“I miss my surprises.” Sorrowed Jokey.
“I miss my rock collection.” Put in Clumsy feeling homesick.
“I miss mysmurf sleeping around the village.” Lazy sighed in sadness.
“I miss my smurf-made inventions.” Said Handy depressingly.
“I miss my smurf-made food.” Sighed Greedy sorrowfully.
“And I miss my very own book.” Said Brainy sadly as he appeared on top of Thomas’ right water tank.
“Hah. [Chattering]” Wild chattered in depression.
“And I think that Wild misses Chitter.” Grandpa replied as he can tell from the once long-lost Smurfs’ misery.
“Who’s Chitter?” Wondered Henry.
“Wild’s squirrel friend.” Said Grandpa to the big green tender engine.
“Oh.” Wheeshed Henry.
“Oh, dear.” Percy puffed sadly, “You Smurfs really are indeed homesick.”
“And it is really for the best that you Smurfs should go back to your own time period.” Said Edward wisely.
“And I couldn’t agree more with Edward.” Added Thomas.
“Thank you, Thomas.” Papa said gratefully and thankfully. “And you too, Edward.”
“Now I’m really in disgrace for you, Smurfs.” Gordon puffed.
“Well, that’s life.” Steamed Toby.
And the six remaining Engines let out their depressing sighs. “[Engines sighing in depression]”
Suddenly, as Wild was still on watch out, he saw something that made him cheer and yell in happiness. “[Wild yelling like Tarzan]”
“Wild, what is it?!” Whistled Thomas.
“Huh?!” Gasped the Engines and the Smurfs.
Wild jumped up and down and pointed to the distance.
Everyone looked ahead, and they could see a light flicking on and off, and off and on coming straight towards the sheds.
“Someone’s coming!” Peeped Percy.
“But who is it?! I can’t smurf!” Shouted Brainy.
“It’s so hard to smurf from this distance!” Said Papa loudly.
“So do I!” Said Thomas.
But they now found out by hearing a pair of familiar whistles. “[PEEP! PEEP!]”
“IT’S JAMES!” The Engines whistled.
“[PEEP! PEEP!]”
“AND EMILY!” Added Edward, “SHE FOUND HIM!”
“PAPA SMURF, PAPA SMURF!”
“AND MY FOUR LITTLE SMURFS!” Papa shouted joyfully, “AND THEY SMURF GROUCHY AND BABY SMURF, TOO!”
“THEY SMURF IT, THEY SMURF IT!” Cheered the Smurfs.
“HERE THEY COME, HERE THEY COME!” The Engines cheered also.
“[PEEP-PEEP-PEEP! PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!]”
Everyone watched joyfully as James and Emily, along with the six Smurfs, entered Tidmouth Sheds with one last puff from the #5 engine.
“[PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!] PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! I’M HERE, I’M HERE, I’M HERE!” Whistled James as he came to a complete stop by wheeshing a big cloud of steam. “[Steam wheeshing heavily]”
“I MADE IT, I MADE IT, I MADE IT!” Panted James joyfully.
“You sure did, James!” Tooted Thomas.
“CHEERFUL TOOTS FOR JAMES!” The Engines cheered.
“AND SMURFY CHEERS, TOO!” The Smurfs cheered also.
“[Smurfs chanting Hip-hip-hurray three times and Engines whistling cheerfully]”
“And I never had doubted you for a smurf, James!” Papa shouted grandly, “And as the Fat Controller would always smurf to you, you really are a dependable, reliable, and really useful Engine!”
“Thank you, Papa Smurf!” Tooted James, “Thank you, everyone!” And he felt so proud that it made his axles tingled.
And Grouchy felt very pleased for James as well.
“And James,” Edward puffed, “Why is Emily behind you?!”
“Oh! Well…” James giggled.
“Well, I was tired!” Emily spoke up, “And I was almost out of water!”
“You silly Engine!” Boomed Gordon crossly, “You should’ve take on more water before you left!”
“NOW DON’T YOU START WITH ME, GORDON!” Snapped Emily, “I JUST FORGOT, THAT’S ALL!”
“Pah, sure you did!” Snorted Gordon.
“AH, PUT A SMURF IN IT, GORDON!” Snarled Sassette and Smurfette.
“WHY, I NEVER!” Appalled Gordon, and he felt so speechless.
“Gordon’s been bumped by a Smurf!” Chuckled Percy.
“Now that’s a laugh!” Shouted Jokey laughingly.
And everyone also had to laugh. “[Everyone laughing]”
And Gordon’s face went pink like a strawberry-flavored ice cream.
“Well, what’s most important is,” James quoted, “That we’re all back together once again!”
“Here, here!” Agreed the Engines and the Smurfs.
“Peep-peep-peep!” Said Baby Smurf cheerfully.
“You smurf it, Baby!” Laughed Grouchy.
And again everyone just had to laugh. “[Everyone laughing]”
After the happy reuniting, James had parked himself between Thomas and Edward, while Emily parked herself between Edward and Toby. And all the Smurfs had gathered around Thomas and James. They and the Engines all wanted to hear about Grouchy and James’ best quality and smurfy time together.
“So tell us, James.” Tooted Thomas eagerly.
“How was your and Grouchy’s best smurfy time together?” Added Papa.
“It was splendid!” James puffed ecstatically.
“And smurfy, of course!” Added Grouchy.
“And what did you two do on your special day?” Edward wondered.
“Oh, I went chuffing around the island while Grouchy and Baby Smurf just sit back and enjoyed the ride.” Said James.
“But I grew bored of it.” Replied Grouchy, “So James, Baby Smurf, and I smurfed off to a special and smurfy spot on Sodor.”
“Ooh, la la!” Amazed Painter, “What zpot iz it?”
“It’s one of the beaches along the Sodor Island Seaside.” Puffed James.
“Ooh.” Amazed the Smurfs.
“And that’s where I and the four Smurfs along with me found them.” Chirped Emily.
“Well, smurfy work, Emily.” Said Papa grandly.
“Thank you, Papa Smurf.” Said Emily gratefully and thankfully.
“Anyway,” Smurfette spoke up, “What did you and Grouchy smurf at the beach, James?”
“Well, I did nothing much.” Giggled James, “All I did is watch over Grouchy and Baby Smurf while they went for a swim.”
“Wow, Grouchy, you went swimming?!” Handy said surprisingly.
Grouchy nodded positively but pacing his usual scowled face.
“Now that sounds like fun.” Tooted Edward.
“Oh, it is for Grouchy.” Chuckled Papa.
“Then what else did you and Grouchy do, James?” Thomas peeped.
“Well,” James puffed, “We finally got to know each other by talking about the things that we hate and love, and we have a lot more in common than ever.”
“Whoo.” Amazed the Engines.
“Ahhh.” Added the Smurfs.
“Oh, and I almost forgot!” James whistled laughingly, “HA-HA-HA! You all should’ve seen it! While I was having my wash down, Spencer, as usual, didn’t care and like about my vanity! So Grouchy used his negativity to shut him up, and you all should’ve seen the look on his face when he saw Grouchy!”
“AH, HA-HA-HA!” Laughed the Engines.
“Smurf that usmurfy Engine right! HA-HA-HA!” The Smurfs laughed also.
And everyone indeed had a good laugh. “[Laughing continues for five seconds]”
“Ah, yes.” James puffed as he stopped laughing, “It was really indeed the best and “smurfy” day that I ever have with Grouchy.”
“And I couldn’t agree more with you, James.” Said Grouchy happily.
“Gaa.” Agreed Baby Smurf.
“Well, I’m very happy to smurf that you two indeed had the best quality and smurfy time ever.” Papa said grandly.
“So do I.” Said Thomas happily.
“Me, too.” Added Edward.
Grouchy and James turned to each other and they smiled joyfully.
“Oh, and Handy.” James said to Hefty’s best friend, “About your railsmurfer.”
“Yes, James?” Handy said nervously.
“I think your smurf version of the steam engine is really indeed splendid.” James puffed grandly.
Handy was very pleased. “Thanks, James.” He said gratefully and thankfully.
Just then, the Engines had something to say to James.
“Um, James.” Gordon puffed.
“Yes?” Replied James.
“We all wanted to say that we’re sorry for teasing you about getting the job that you really and truly hate.” Wheeshed Henry.
“Ohh, so now you all know how I feel about getting the job that I really and truly hate.” Huffed James seriously.
“And it’s about time that you unsmurfy Engines get to apologize to James!” Scowled Grouchy.
“Yes.” Peeped Percy shamefully, “And we’re really sorry about your third major accident.”
“And we felt terrible about it, too.” Emily puffed honestly.
“Can you ever forgive us, James?” Said Toby sincerely.
James wasn’t sure, and he began to have a long thought.
But Papa spoke up to James. “They really mean it, James.” He said, “After Thomas had told them everything.”
“Hmm.” Said James, “What do you think, Grouchy?”
“Well, I was about to smurf that I HATE for you to forsmurf your friends after for what they had smurfed to you.” Grouchy said scowlingly, “But I decided to choose the wise thing, just like Papa Smurf.”
Papa couldn’t help but smiled grandly.
“And I also agree with Grouchy on this.” Tooted Edward wisely.
“Me too.” Said Thomas.
After having a long thought, James let out his answer. “Alright.” He puffed, “I forgive you all.”
The Engines are very glad that James forgave them.
“And there’s something that I also want to puff to you all too.” James replied.
“And what is that, James?” Wondered the Engines.
“DON’T EVER PUFF THAT AGAIN!” Roared James crossly.
“Whoa!” Startled the Engines.
Thomas, Edward, and the Smurfs couldn’t help but laugh heavily, even Grouchy and James. “[Three Engines and Smurfs laughing heavily]”
“Hehehehehe. Smurfy one, “Grouchy James”.” Grouchy Whispered.
“Thank you, “Happy Grouchy”.” Said James quietly.
“Happy Grouchy?!” Brainy and Jokey said surprisingly, of which they overheard their conversation.
And the two Smurfs paced a cheeky and sneaky look on their faces and they began to tease Grouchy.
“Oh, Grouchy!” Brainy called to the mixed-emotional Smurf, “Now since you smurf yet another change of heart!”
“We’re gonna smurf everybody at the village that you’re now a very happy Smurf!” Laughed Jokey.
Grouchy was shocked and furious. “YOU TWO WOULDN’T SMURF!” He scowled.
“Oh, but we will!” Taunted Brainy and Jokey. “Heh-heh-heh!”
“OH NO YOU TWO DON’T!” Snarled James crossly and protectively, “OR YOU’RE GONNA ANSWER TO ME AND MY BIG CLOUD OF STEAM!”
“AND TO US, TOO!” Grumbled the Engines.
“AND IF ANY OF YOU SMURF THIS OUT TO THE OTHER SMURFS AT THE VILLAGE!” Handy fumed as he stepped in.
“YOU TWO WILL BE SMURFING SOME KNUCKLE SMURFWICHES FOR DINNER!” Rumbled Hefty as he threatens Brainy and Jokey with his two bare fists.
Brainy and Jokey jumped and were very frighten.
“AND I’LL MAKE SURE THAT WON’T HAPPEN TOO!” Smurfette yelled furiously as she placed her hands on her hips.
“SAME TO US, TOO!” Said the Smurflings.
“[GULP]” Trembled Brainy and Jokey as they hold each other.
“Eesh, can’t anyone smurf a joke?” Quivered Jokey.
“Yeah, a joke. [Laughing nervously]” Added Brainy.
“WELL IT’S NOT THAT FUNNY AT ALL!” Hissed the other Smurfs and the Engines.
“Alright, alright!” Shouted Jokey.
“We won’t smurf, we won’t smurf!” Said Brainy truthfully.
“Phew.” Grouchy said in relief, and he was very glad that James was there with him.
But Grouchy cannot believe that his fellow Smurfs just stepped in and protected him. And he was very happy to have such good friends to be there by his side.
But just then, some of the Smurfs had gathered around Grouchy.
Grouchy was surprised, but he’s now feeling worried.
But Grouchy’s fellow Smurfs smiled.
“Don’t worry, Grouchy.” Handy spoke up, “We’ll make sure that it will never happen.”
“And you can smurf on us too, the honest ones.” Hefty said grandly, “And we will always smurf your back.” And he placed his left arm around Grouchy’s neck.
“And we will always be there for you, too.” Said Smurfette honestly.
“And me and Snappy promise that we won’t smurf either.” Sassette said sweetly.
“Smurfs’ honor.” Said Snappy as he made a salute.
This made Grouchy very delighted, and he nearly cried his eyes out.
“And Grouchy,” Edward puffed wisely, “You such be very grateful to have such good friends that really care and love you.”
“And I couldn’t agree more with Edward.” Said James happily.
“Thanks, Edward and James.” Said Grouchy gratefully. “And thank you, my fellow Smurfs.”
Then Smurfette stepped in and gave Grouchy a thankful kiss. “[SMOOCH]”
Grouchy’s face went pink. “Uhhhhh…” He blushed, and he felt very speechless.
“Oh, my!” Stunned Edward and James.
“Ohh! I HATE feeling embarrassed!” Grumbled Grouchy, “But I really LOVE being kissed by Smurfette.” He said positively.
Edward, James, and the five Smurfs just had to laugh, even Grouchy. “Hahahahaha.” They went.
“Hah, isn’t it smurfy, Thomas?” Papa said to the little blue tank engine.
“It sure is, Papa Smurf.” Agreed Thomas grandly. “It sure is.”
“Well, smurfy thing that I’m not the secret-revealing kind of Smurf.” Lazy said truthfully.
“Me too.” Added Clumsy.
“Me three.” Put in Greedy.
“Oui, moi alzo.” Said Painter lastly.
Just then, Vanity went up to Grouchy. “Um, Grouchy.” He replied, “Since James has both of our smurfonalities, I’ve been smurfing.”
“Huh?” Confused Grouchy.
“Well,” Said Vanity, “I think that we should… you know, smurf out.”
“Really, Vanity?” James puffed, “You, and Grouchy?”
“Well, why not?” Vanity replied, “I have some things to hate too, and I guess I’ll try not to smurf about my handsomeness that much. And who knows, maybe you and I will become very close friends.”
“Well.” Said James amazingly, “Now that’s something new coming from you, Vanity.”
“Oh, yes.” Said Vanity, “Oh, and I too won’t smurf about you. So, what do you smurf?”
Grouchy wasn’t sure, and he turned to James.
“I think you should puff it, Grouchy.” James tooted encouragingly, “And after all, Vanity is indeed right about me.”
And after having a long thought, Grouchy made his decision and turned to Vanity. “Alright, and I’ll try.” He said grandly. “Smurf it there, buddy.”
And Grouchy and Vanity gave each other a smurfy friendship hand shake.
Vanity then turned to his hand mirror. “And I think I’ll smurf him a hand mirror of his own.” He said to himself.
“Now that’s what I puff, “The start of a splendid friendship”.” Said James happily and quietly.
Suddenly, as Papa was finishing assembling the last remaining time crystals, everyone heard a noise. “[Sound of a car approaching]”
“Look!” Tooted Thomas, “Here comes the Fat Controller!”
“Oh, no.” Wheeshed James nervously.
Everyone watched as the Fat Controller parked his little blue car. “[Car stops]” Then he got himself off of it, and he walked towards the sheds and greeted his Engines.
“Good evening.” Boomed the Fat Controller.
“Good evening, sir.” Said the Engines.
“Today, you all had done a fine piece of work.” The Fat Controller said grandly, “You all indeed are really useful Engines.”
“Thank you, sir.” Said the Engines gratefully.
“But,” Replied the Fat Controller, “James, I’ve had been told that you were late while you were doing your job.”
“B-b-but, sir.” Stuttered James, “I did my job like you told me to.”
“That my be true.” The Fat Controller boomed, “But above all, you had caused confusion and delay.”
“Oh, bother.” Said James sadly.
And Grouchy felt in grief for James’ misery.
“And I think I know why.” The Fat Controller boomed sternly, “James, I’ve had been told that you just had an accident that involves the job that I gave you?”
“[Coughing alarmingly] Peep that again, sir?!” Gasped James.
“You heard me!” Boomed the Fat Controller sternly, “And it’s the third one since five years ago!”
“Oh, no!” Said Thomas quietly, “How does he know?!”
“And that’s what I want to know too!” James said shockingly and softly.
“And that’s what I smurfed, “One, two, three strikes and you’re smurfed!” Said Grouchy.
“But that’s not all!” The Fat Controller replied, “I’ve also had been told that during the accident, as if James and some of the trucks had some how managed to get back on the rails without using a crane?! As if like magic?!”
“Oh, smurfs!” Gasped the Smurfs.
“Oh, dear!” Stunned the Engines.
“How did you know all of that, sir?!” Thomas asked stunningly.
“A passenger from Molly’s train had told me everything!” Answered the Fat Controller. “And lastly, Spencer had claimed that he saw a talking blue rodent that just insulted him?!”
“Great Smurfs!” Gasped Papa.
“The smurf is up!” Said the Smurfs.
“I HATE “the smurf is up”!” Said Grouchy.
“Oh no, oh no, oh no!” Panicked the Engines.
“Oooh, Spen-cer!” Hissed James crossly and quietly.
But luckily, Thomas thought of a way to avoid it. “Uh, I think Spencer must be seeing things! Right, James?!”
“Yes, yes!” Agreed James, “Spencer must be seeing things indeed!”
“Phew.” Said the Engines and the Smurfs in relief.
“And you said so yourself, sir.” Thomas puffed, “You don’t believe in anything that are magical and mythical.”
“That may be true also!” Boomed the Fat Controller seriously, “But still, strange things had happened today!”
“Oh, dear.” Wheeshed the Engines, and they are now even more nervous than ever.
And the Smurfs are now feeling very depressed for the Engines.
Now the Fat Controller is looking very serious, and he demands an explanation. So he crossed his arms and spoke severely to the Engines. “Is there something that one of you would like to tell me?” He boomed.
The Engines are looking at each other in a panic mode. Then they turned to the Smurfs, and they could see that they’re looking very worried. But the Engines didn’t know that the Smurfs are actually feeling sorry for them and wanted to help.
“I’m waiting!” The Fat Controller boomed impatiently.
Now the Engines need to think of a way to make the Fat Controller forget all of this. But they don’t know how.
But thankfully, Thomas does. “[GULP] Well…” He puffed.
“Yes?” Said the Fat Controller sternly.
“Well,” Replied Thomas nervously, “We think that…, Umm…”
“OUT WITH IT ALREADY!” Boomed the Fat Controller impatiently and crossly.
“We think that we don’t believe in anything on what you just said, sir!” Thomas puffed stutteringly, “And we have no idea on what you’re talking about! Right, everyone?!”
“Yes, yes!” Agreed the Engines, “We have no idea on what you’re talking about at all! [Engines laughing nervously]”
But the Fat Controller has not accepted that answer. “As much as I don’t like having Engines not being told what to do,” He said sternly, “But I also don’t like having Engines keeping secrets from me!”
“Now I’ll ask this once more!” Said the Fat Controller severely, “What is going on around here?! And I want some answers now!”
Now the Engines are even more nervous and worried than ever. And the Smurfs are even more depressed as well.
But Thomas now realized that he had to say something. So he told the truth, but not the right one. “Well, sir.” He puffed, “I wish I could tell you. But I, I, I can’t. I just really can’t. And it’s for an unknown reason.”
“And we argee with Thomas on this, sir.” Said the Engines honestly.
But again, the Fat Controller has not accepted that answer too. So he turned to Edward. “Edward,” He called to the mid-size blue tender engine, “You’re the most honest and wisest one, so you can tell me.”
“You know I want to, sir.” Wheeshed Edward truthfully, “But I also have my reasons, too.”
“And that’s our final answer, sir.” Confirmed the Engines.
Now the Fat Controller was very cross and had lost patients. “Very well!” He boomed, “You all leave me with no other choice! You all are to stay in your sheds for a month!”
“A month in the sheds?!” Gasped the Engines, “But, sir…!”
“My decision is final!” Concluded the Fat Controller.
“But who will do our jobs?!” Peeped Percy in concern.
“That’s what replacements are for!” The Fat Controller boomed. “End of discussion!”
“But, sir…!” Wheeshed the Engines.
“I SAID END OF DISCUSSION!” Bellowed the Fat Controller.
The Engines watched miserably as the Fat Controller crossly turned away, and walked towards to his little blue car.
“Oh, bother.” Wheeshed Gordon and Henry sadly.
“A month in the sheds.” Sorrowed Percy.
“With no work to do.” Said James and Edward in misery.
“And no fun to play.” Emily and Toby said in depression.
“But we did the right thing, my friends.” Said Thomas thankfully. “We did the right thing.”
And he and the Engines let out their depressing sighs. “[Engines sighing depressingly]”
Now after seeing the whole thing, Papa, Grandpa, and their little Smurfs are now very and deeply sorry for the Engines, especially Grouchy for James. The little blue time-travelers do indeed know that the Engines did the right thing of keeping them from revealing themselves to people, but they don’t want to see their Engine friends being all parked up in their sheds for a month.
So Papa stood up and spoke to Thomas. “Thomas, smurf ahead.” He said wisely.
Thomas and his friends are surprised.
“But, Papa Smurf.” Thomas puffed stunningly, “What about your warning of revealing you Smurfs to people.”
“It’s alright, Thomas.” Said Papa, “We Smurfs always smurf that warning all the time anyway.”
“And besides,” Replied Smurfette, “We don’t want to smurf you and your friends being all smurfed up in your sheds for a month.”
“And I HATE smurfing James in his shed for a month!” Scowled Grouchy sadly.
“But we did the right thing anyway, Grouchy.” James puffed honestly, “And it’s for your own good.”
“And I HATE when you smurf that, too!” Added Grouchy.
“Mmmm.” Said Baby Smurf sadly.
“Thomas, please.” Papa replied wisely, “Just smurf ahead, and I’m sure that the Fat Controller will believe and undersmurf you and your friends.”
But Thomas is still wasn’t sure. “Are you really sure about this, Papa Smurf?” He said in concern.
“Absosmurfly sure.” Confirmed Papa. “Right, my little Smurfs?”
“Oh yes, Papa Smurf.” Said the Smurfs truthfully.
“My little Smurfs has smurfin’, Thomas.” Said Papa.
Now after having a long thought, Thomas made up his mind. “Well… alright, if you say so.” He said.
“Uh, well, you better smurf him fast.” Replied Clumsy, “’Cause he’s about to smurf.” And he pointed to the Fat Controller.
The Engines frantically turned, and they could see that indeed the Fat Controller is about to enter his little blue car.
“Thomas, quick, stop him!” Whistled the Engines.
Thomas quickly called to the Fat Controller by blowing his whistle loudly. “[PEEEEEEP!] SIR, WAIT!” He shouted.
The Fat Controller jumped and stopped himself from entering into his car. He then closed the door of his car, and he stepped towards the sheds and stopped. And he now waits on what Thomas is trying to say.
“Alright, sir, you win.” Wheeshed Thomas, “We’ll tell you.”
“Very well.” Said the Fat Controller, “I’ll give you all one last chance.”
“And there’s something that we want to show you too, sir.” The Engines added.
“Is that so.” The Fat Controller boomed sternly.
“And what you’re about to see,” Thomas puffed, “Is something that you never heard of before.”
“I’ll take anything for me to solve this confusion and delay.” Said the Fat Controller.
“Well, alright. Here goes.” Thomas said calmly, and he turned down to his front frame. “Now, appear!” He tooted.
“What is he talking to?” Confused the Fat Controller.
But suddenly, in a flash, the Smurfs revealed themselves right before the Fat Controller’s eyes.
“Hello!” Chimed the Smurfs.
The Fat Controller was deeply surprised and he nearly lost his balance we he saw the Smurfs. “Well I’ll be the Flying Scotsman!” He gasped, “What, or who are they?!”
“They’re Smurfs, sir!” Tooted the Engines happily.
“Smurfs?” Puzzled the Fat Controller, “I’ve never heard of one of those things before, and not even from stories, too.”
“Well, they are magical and mythical creatures, sir.” Thomas tooted.
“And the reason why we haven’t heard stories about them…” Edward puffed.
“…Is because they’re trying to keep their existence from ever happening.” Said Henry.
“But it was too late.” Gordon huffed upsettingly, “No thanks to a very horrid wizard who kept spinning his life of trying to eat them or turning them into gold.”
“Oh, my goodness!” Said the Fat Controller shockingly, “Those poor innocent, little things! And no wonder I never heard stories about them! And I’m very sorry, too!”
“But don’t worry, sir.” Chuckled Thomas, “The Smurfs always outsmart that old slow coach wizard anyway.”
“Oh, well, alright.” The Fat Controller said calmly. “So, are they from around here in the island?” He wondered.
“Actually, they’re not, sir.” James puffed truthfully.
“They’re not?!” Stunned the Fat Controller.
“They’re actually from the 16th century, sir.” Peeped Percy, “In the year, 1505.”
“The 16th century, 1505?!” Gasped the Fat Controller, “But that’s 450 years from the past!”
“Yes, we know.” Giggled Thomas.
“So how do they get here?” The Fat Controller wondered.
“They were time-traveling, sir.” Ranged Toby, “By using these magical rocks called time crystals.”
“Amazing!” Remarked the Fat Controller.
“But even though,” Wheeshed Emily sadly, “While they were time-traveling, they were trying to find their way back home, but they never did, they always fail.”
“Oh, how awful.” Said the Fat Controller feeling sorry.
“And that’s the whole story, sir.” Finished the Engines.
“And we also puff great care of them since they arrived on the island.” Said Thomas happily.
“And indeed we did, sir.” Added the Engines.
“Well,” Replied the Fat Controller, “I’m very pleased that you all had told me the truth, and explained everything to me. And just for that, you all are not to stay in your sheds for a month.” He boomed happily.
“Oh, thank you, sir!” The Engines whistled joyfully.
“Yay!” Cheered the Smurfs, and they are very glad to help their Engine friends from getting them away of being punished, especially Grouchy for James.
“And as for the Smurfs,” The Fat Controller replied, “Your secret is save with me, and my lips are sealed. And I also hoped that you all will indeed find your back home soon.” He said.
“Thank you.” Said the Smurfs.
“And you Engines are indeed really reliable for taking great care of them.” Added the Fat Controller.
“Thank you, sir.” Said the Engines.
“Now, about what had happened today.” The Fat Controller spoke up, “Are the Smurfs really the ones who managed to get James back on the rails?”
“Actually, sir.” James puffed, “It was Papa Smurf who used his magic to rescue me, and he’s a wizard.”
“Really.” Said the Fat Controller, “Which one is Papa Smurf?”
“Right here.” Replied Papa as he raised his hand.
The Fat Controller then walked closer to Thomas and James, and stopped right in front and in between them. Then he lean closer to get a good look at the Smurfs. The Smurfs all smiled grandly. Then the Fat Controller turned to Papa, and he could see that the village leader is also smiling grandly.
Now the Fat Controller turned to James. James was nervous.
But after looking at both the Smurfs and James, the Fat Controller turned to Papa and smiled grandly. “Thank you for rescuing one of my Engines.” He said to the wizard Smurf.
Papa was deeply honored. “It was all my smurfy pleasure, Mr. Fat Controller.” He said as he bowed down.
“Please, call me Sir Topham.” The Fat Controller corrected.
“Oh, well, thank you, Sir Topham.” Said Papa as he corrected himself.
And Thomas, James, and the Smurfs are indeed very pleased for Papa as well.
Now the Fat Controller sternly turned to James, and he was pacing a serious look on his face.
James is now even more nervous. “Oh dear, what’s he gonna say now?” He thought to himself.
But suddenly, the Fat Controller turned his frown upside down and spoke kindly to James. “Alright, James.” He boomed, “Now I see things perfectly clear.”
“About what, sir?” Wondered James.
“I now realized that you’re not the proper Engine to pull slow goods trains.” Said the Fat Controller, “And as of right now, you will no longer do that job.”
James was deeply delighted! “Oh, thank you, sir!” He whistled joyfully, “And it’s about time that you now understand my feelings!”
“Well, don’t get carried away.” Replied the Fat Controller with a chuckle, “And although you are indeed a mixed-traffic Engine, and from now on, you will be pulling fast special trains.”
“Now that indeed I will do.” James puffed positively, “And sir, I promise that I will indeed be a really reliable and useful Engine for doing that job.”
“And I know you will be, too.” Said the Fat Controller happily.
And Grouchy was indeed very happy for James for getting his most hated job replaced by a very perfect one.
“Um, James.” Grouchy spoke up, “What does mixed-traffic mean?”
“It means that an Engine can easily pull coaches or trucks from time to time.” Explained James.
“And I’m also a mixed-traffic Engine.” Said Edward.
“And indeed he is.” Added James, “And he and I make a splendid team.”
And the two very close Engines just smiled grandly.
Grouchy was very impressed, and he knows why Edward and James are very close.
“Hah, they are indeed very close.” Grouchy sighed to himself, “Just like me and Baby Smurf.”
“Oh well, C’est La Vie.” Remarked Painter, “Now, before we go, I want to paint a smurfy masterpizza, with uz Smurfs and zhe Enganez.”
“Even better, how about a photo.” Replied the Fat Controller, “I have my camera in my car.”
“Well, alright.” Painter agreed, “But, I ztill want to paint a portrait.”
“Well stay with Thomas while I take the picture.” Said the Fat Controller, and he went to his car, opened the trunk, and he took out his camera. And he then walked towards to the other side of the sheds and he stopped with a perfectly still position.
The Engines and the Smurfs all smiled grandly for the camera. All the Smurfs are with Thomas, but Grouchy, along with Baby Smurf, wanted to be with James for the photo.
“Perfect!” The Fat Controller hollered, and he then held up his camera and began to take the photo. “Everybody say, PEEEEP!”
“PEEEEP!” Whistled the Engines.
“But to us,” Chimed the Smurfs, “SMURFS!”
“[FLASH!]”
“That was very good!” Shouted the Fat Controller grandly as he put down his camera, and he then walked back towards to the Engines.
“I’ll take the photo to have it developed and it will be put onto a large picture frame.” The Fat Controller confirmed to the Engines, “And it will be hanged right inside the sheds.”
“Thank you, sir.” Said the Engines.
“And here,” Papa spoke up, “Let me smurf some magic on the photo so it can be only for the eyes from the Engines and Sir Topham. Presto Smurfo!” And it’s been done in a flash.
“Amazing!” Remarked the Fat Controller.
“Um, excusez-moi Monsieur Sir Topham.” Painter Replied, “I want to paint my masterpizza s’il vous plait.”
“Of course, hop on to my hand.” The Fat Controller said happily.
Painter jumped onto the palm of the Fat Controller’s hand. And he asked him that he wanted to be in the center of the turntable so the artistic Smurf can get a good position. And in no time, Painter had started painting the portrait of the Engines, his fellow Smurfs, and yes including himself.
And at last in ten minutes flat, Painter was finished. “Voila, my smurfy masterpizza iz fini!” He said.
“Remarkable!” Said the Fat Controller impressively, “And very artistic.”
“Merci, Monsieur Sir Topham.” Said Painter gratefully.
And then the Fat Controller returned Painter to his fellow Smurfs.
“Oh, and Sir Topham.” Brainy spoke up, “Do you have a map of the Island of Sodor? Me, Painter and my fellow Smurfs at our village are gonna smurf a book about the island.”
“Yes, I do.” Replied the Fat Controller, “And good luck on making your book.” And he gave Brainy the map of the Island of Sodor.
“I’ll just get another copy at my office in Knapford.” The Fat Controller thought to himself.
“Smurfy!” Brainy shouted as he turned to Painter, “Now that we have and know everything about the Island of Sodor, I’m sure that our book will be a smurfy success!”
“Oui, succès fou!“ Agreed Painter.
But Painter was confused. He thought that Brainy is going to publish the book. So he asked him. “But Brainy,” He replied, “I thought you’re gonna smurfblish zhe book.”
“Well, I changed my smurf.” Said Brainy truthfully, “And I don’t want to be smurffish. So I decided that you, me, Editor, Reporter, and Poet will be smurfing the book. Together.”
Painter was very pleased.
“Whoa, now that’s very wise of you, Brainy.” Edward puffed impressively, “And I was wrong again, you are indeed a really useful Smurf.”
Brainy beamed proudly. “Thank you, Edward.” He said gratefully.
“But still, he will always be “Oldfangled nonsense Brainy”.” Snickered Thomas.
“THO-MAS!” Shouted Brainy shockingly.
“Just… “smurfing”!” Chuckled Thomas.
And everyone also had to laugh. “[Everyone laughing heavily]”
“Ha, ha, ha! Funny, very funny!” Grumbled Brainy.
“And it sure is!” Laughed Jokey. “HA-HA-HA!”
But this time, Brainy said nothing and he went silent, but with just only three last words. “Bother and smurfs.” He muttered.
And now, after everybody have had their final moments, Papa sadly turned to Thomas. “Thomas, I think it’s time.” He said.
“Yes, Papa Smurf, I know.” Wheeshed Thomas.
“Time for what?” Concerned the Fat Controller.
“Time for the Smurfs to leave, sir.” The Engines wheeshed also.
“Oh, of course.” Said the Fat Controller, and he stepped away from his Engines.
“Well, just be careful when you Smurfs time-travel.” Thomas said faithfully.
“And we’ll have our thoughts and prayers on you too, Smurfs.” Added the Engines.
“Thank you, Engines.” Said the Smurfs gratefully, “And we will be careful, too.”
“Alright, then.” Thomas puffed sadly, “Puff on.”
“Yes, Thomas.” Replied Papa, “Alright, my little Smurfs. To the, uh, uh… what’s that thing in middle again, Thomas?”
“Turntable, Papa Smurf.” Chuckled Thomas.
“Oh, yes.” Giggled Papa, “To the turntable, my little Smurfs. And Handy, Hefty, smurf the crystals over there.”
“Yes, Papa Smurf.” Said Handy and Hefty, and they very carefully carried the aligned time crystals to the turntable.
And the other Smurfs followed along with Papa, of which he has the last crystal with him.
The Engines watched sadly as the Smurfs are all gathered in the middle of the turntable.
Then Papa checked to see if all of his little Smurfs are with him. “Is everysmurf here?” He called.
“Uh, no, Papa Smurf.” Replied Clumsy.
“[SIGH] Who did I smurf this time.” Moaned Papa. “Lazy?”
“I’m right here, Papa Smurf.” Lazy replied, “[YAWN] And still keeping mysmurf awake.”
“Vanity?” Papa called.
“Present.” Said Vanity.
“Then who?” Confused Papa.
“It’s Grouchy, Papa Smurf.” Smurfette replied.
“Well, where is he?” Wondered Papa.
“He’s over there, Papa Smurf.” Said Handy as he pointed.
“Smurfing his final moments with James.” Added Hefty.
“Oh, I see.” Said Papa sadly, and he turned around to look at the two new friends.
James and Grouchy are now feeling very heartsore, and they don’t know what to say to each other. And it’s very painful for the two new friends when they had to go to their own separate ways. And they really hate that too, but it’s for the best.
“Grouchy,” James wheeshed sadly, “I just don’t know what to puff.”
“And I HATE not knowing what to smurf.” Sorrowed Grouchy.
“Well, all I can puff is… I’ll miss you.” Said James.
“And I’ll miss you, too.” Said Grouchy.
“But before you puff away,” Added James, “I want you to have something.”
“What is it?” Wondered Grouchy.
James started to rattle. “[James rattling]” And just then, his cab door opened and out came a small object. And James stopped rattling.
Wild raced towards the object that James got it out from his cab. As the lost-and-found Smurf grabbed it, he then jumped onto James and gave the object to Grouchy. And Wild raced off to rejoin his fellow Smurfs.
Grouchy looked at the object. It’s red, it’s a rectangular shape, it’s the size of an apple, and it has a red chain that was pierced through the edge of it.
Grouchy was puzzled. “What’s this, James?” He asked.
“It’s my old brake block.” Answered James, “It was removed from me after my first major accident, and I kept it as a good luck charm ever since. And I had it painted red, and it has my name and number on it in gold writing.”
Grouchy turned the block around, and indeed he could see James’ name and engine number saying; James the Red Engine #5.
Grouchy was deeply touched. “Thank you, James.” He said gratefully, “And, I also have smurfthing for you, too.”
Grouchy reached into his pocket, and he too took out an object and showed it to James.
James looked closely and clearly at the object. It’s gold, it’s shaped like a heart, it’s the size of a smurfberry, and it has a gold chain that was also pierced through, but in between the two curved edges of the heart.
James was puzzled also. “What’s that, Grouchy?” He asked.
“It’s my heart-of-gold charm.” Answered Grouchy, “It was my smurfday present from Smurfette, and I smurfed it as a good luck charm, too. And it’s from a gold bar, and it also has my name on it in red writing.”
James looked closely and clearly at the charm, and also he could see Grouchy’s name saying; Grouchy Smurf.
James was also deeply touched. “Thank you, Grouchy.” He puffed gratefully, “And I’ll treasure it always.”
“Same thing with me for your charm, too.” Said Grouchy happily.
As the two new friends exchanged their memorable gifts, Papa helped to fix the sizes of the charms.
“Here, Grouchy, James!” Papa called, “I’ll smurf my magic to switch the sizes of your gifts! Alaka-smurf!” And he magically blew the magic powder right towards the gifts.
And in a flash, James’ old brake block is now the size of a smurfberry, and Grouchy’s heart-of-gold charm is now the size of an apple.
Then Grouchy weared James’ old brake block around his neck. But James doesn’t know where to wear Grouchy’s heart-of-gold charm.
But Grouchy had an idea. “I know just the smurfy spot for you to smurf my charm, James!” He shouted.
“Where?” Wondered James.
“On your whistle!” Said Grouchy, and he turned to Thomas, “Smurf it right over there, Thomas!” He called.
“You puff it, Grouchy!” Tooted Thomas.
As Grouchy pushed his now apple size charm off of James, Thomas with much force wheeshed the charm up in midair. And the charm got it perfectly through James’ cab roof-mounted whistle.
James does indeed felt really good of wearing Grouchy’s heart-of-gold charm around his whistle, and he does look really splendid with it too.
“It peeps you well, James.” Edward puffed kindly.
“And you do look splendid with it too.” Said Thomas honestly.
“And I LOVE it like that, too.” Added Grouchy.
“Thank you, Thomas, Edward.” Said James gratefully. “And you too, Grouchy. And you too do look “smurfy” with my charm, too.” He added.
“Thank you, James.” Said Grouchy gratefully also.
“And Grouchy,” James replied, “If you ever find your way back home soon, you should know that the golden chain of friendship will always be coupled and “smurfed” up from my firebox to your heart, and a part of me will always be with you.”
Grouchy was so touched that he nearly cried his eyes out. “And I smurfed the same way about that for you too, James.” He said happily.
And James was so touched that he nearly cried his eyes out also.
“Grouchy!” Papa called, “It’s time for us to smurf!”
“Puff on, Grouchy.” James wheeshed sadly, “They’re waiting for you.”
“Yes, I know.” Said Grouchy sorrowfully, “Well, good-bye, James.”
“Good-bye, Grouchy.” Said James sorrowfully also, “And good luck finding your way back home.”
“I hope so, too.” Finished Grouchy.
And then Grouchy went up to James and he gave him a smurfy-busting hug onto his smoke-box, just like when his fellow Smurfs gave to him on Hug-a-Smurf day, of which he once hates it but now loves it.
And James could feel the power of Grouchy’s love spreading inside his smoke-box and then to his boiler.
After saying their sad good-byes and making their final eye-to-eye contact, Grouchy turned and jumped off of James, and he sadly walked towards the turntable to rejoin his fellow Smurfs.
[Background song #6 plays]
As James sadly watched as Grouchy was walking to the turntable to rejoin his fellow Smurfs, he began to have a trip down to memory lane. He began to daydream from the time when he first met the mixed-emotional Smurf, to the time when they had to go to their own separate ways.
And as Grouchy was still walking, he sadly looked back to James and he too was having the same thing about the #5 engine.

At last, as Grouchy rejoined his fellow Smurfs, the little blue time-travelers are now all set for their departure.
“Alright, my little Smurfs!” Papa shouted as he holds the last time crystal, “This is it, and this time, we’ll be smurftainly be smurfing back home!”
“And let’s keep our fingers smurfed!” Said Grandpa.
And the Smurfs did indeed had their fingers crossed.
“And look everysmurf!” Clumsy hollered, “I’m smurfing this rock from the Island of Sodor to smurf it in my rock collection!”
“Very smurfy, Clumsy.” Said Brainy, “Now please, keep your fingers smurfed.”
“And I’ll carve zhe rock with zhe Island of Sodor name when we get back home.” Added Painter.
“Thanks, Painter.” Said Clumsy.
“And Grouchy,” Smurfette said to the former negative Smurf, “That was very smurfy of you to smurf James your charm. And indeed it was from me, but I wouldn’t mind about that at all.”
“And you do indeed look smurfy with James’ charm.” Vanity added, “Here, smurf for yoursmurf.” And he showed Grouchy with it in his hand mirror.
As Grouchy looked at his reflection, he has to admit that he does indeed felt really good of wearing James’ old brake block around his neck, and he does look really smurfy with it also.
“Thanks, Vanity.” Said Grouchy happily. “And you too, Smurfette.”
“Ok!” Shouted Papa, “Here we smurf!”
As Papa lowered down the last time crystal, and in a flash, the rainbow time twister appeared right before the Engines and the Fat Controller’s eyes.
The Engines and the Fat Controller are surprised and amazed, and they watched as the multi-colored whirlwind carried the Smurfs in it and began to ascend up in the air.
“[Engines whistling farewell] GOOD-BYE, SMURFS!” The Engines whistled as they blow their whistles, “AND GOOD LUCK FINDING YOUR WAY BACK HOME!”
“GOOD-BYE, ENGINES!” The Smurfs hollered.
“AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!” Added Papa.
“AND WE’LL NEVER SMURFGET YOU!” Put in the Smurfs.
“AND WE’LL NEVER FORGET YOU, TOO!” Tooted the Engines.
“This is so unbelievable!” Said the Fat Controller softly to himself.
So the Engines once again watched as the rainbow time twister, with the Smurfs in it, gets up higher and higher into the air.

Just then, James shouted to Grouchy. “GROUCHY!” He whistled to his new friend.
Grouchy looked down to hear on what James is trying to say.
“I HATE TO FORGET YOU!” Tooted James.
Grouchy was sincerely touched, and he let out a sad sniffle and a tear coming out of his eye. “[SNIFFLE] AND I HATE TO SMURFGET YOU TOO, JAMES!” He hollered.
“I LOVE YOU!” Whistled James.
“I LOVE YOU TOO!” Hollered Grouchy.
“AND I’LL MISS YOU!” Added James.
“AND I’LL MISS YOU TOO!” Added Grouchy also.
“CHEERIO, GROUCHY!” Tooted James.
“SMURFIO, JAMES!” Shouted Grouchy.
“[PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!] PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!” Whistled James.
“PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!” Hollered Grouchy.
“PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!” Cried Baby Smurf.
Then suddenly, with a flash of light, the rainbow time twister disappeared into the sky, taking the Smurfs with it as they began yet another journey of trying to find their way back home.
[Song continues]
[Duet]:
YOU KNOW THE WORLD CAN SEE US
IN A WAY THAT’S DIFFERENT THEN WHO WE ARE
[Music and song stops]
As the Engines watched the Smurfs disappeared into the sky inside the rainbow time twister, they are now in a very sad moment.
“Well, there they puff.” Sighed Thomas sadly.
“Off yet to a another journey.” Edward puffed in grief.
“Of trying to find their way back home.” Wheeshed Henry sorrowfully.
“And let’s all hope that they will.” Said Gordon faithfully.
“And our thoughts and prayers will be for them, too.” Peeped Percy in misery.
“And we hope that they will succeed.” Toby steamed depressingly.
“And we wish that we don’t want them to appear at another time period.” Said Emily hopefully.
And they all let out their sighs of sorrow. “[Engines sighing in sorrow]”
The Fat Controller looked at his Engines, and he could see that they are indeed having their sad moments and they will indeed miss the Smurfs very much. So he turned and walked towards to his little blue car, opened the door, and he got in.
Then the Fat Controller looked out of the window, and he looked at his Engines once more. “Sleep well, my really useful Engines.” He said to himself, “Especially you, James.” And he drove away. “[Sound of a car leaving]”
“Good-bye, Grouchy.” James wheeshed sadly, “I’ll indeed miss you, and I’ll always remember you.” And he rolled his eyes downward with a sad sniffle and a tear coming out of his eye. “[SNIFFLE]”
Thomas turned to James, and he could see that the #5 engine will indeed miss Grouchy very much. So he decided to cheer him up and he spoke kindly to him.
“James,” Thomas puffed, “Are you gonna be alright?”
James turned to Thomas, and he could see that the #1 engine is indeed trying to cheer him up by smiling his cheerful smile. So James did smiled, but just a small grin.
“[SNIFFLE] Yes, Thomas.” Said James feeling better, “I’ll be alright.”
“And Thomas?” James added.
“Yes, James?” Replied Thomas.
“I really hope that Grouchy and the other Smurfs will indeed find their way back home soon.” James said faithfully.
“Me too, James.” Said Thomas happily. “Me, too.”
“And so do all of us, also!” The Engines tooted cheerfully.
This made James very happy, and he smiled his biggest and shinest smile. And he was very glad to have such good friends to be there to cheer him up.
[Ending story music plays]
As the sun finally disappeared into the horizon, and the sky begins to darken, everything around the Island of Sodor went silent after yet another hard day’s work. And it’s been such a busy day to keep the island a wonderful place to live, or to visit.
And yes, Thomas, and his friends, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, and Emily, looked up to the sky for one last time, where the Smurfs had taken off inside the rainbow time twister, hoping that they will indeed find their way back home. And they also hoped, especially James, that if the Smurfs do indeed find their way back home, maybe they will indeed find a way to return to the Island of Sodor someday. But that my friends, is another story… eventually.
[James]: “Um, everyone?”
[Music stops]
[Engines]: “Yes, James?”
[James]: “Grouchy said that I should get my wheels painted to match my red coat, so I can be twice as splendid! What you all think of that?”
[Engines]: [Moaning] “Ohhh, James!”
[James]: [Grumbling] “What?! It’s just a simple question! OH, BOTHER!”
THE END
[Music replays]
I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER…

Great job, Amtrak! What a suspense in the moment the Fat Controller demanded the Engines to explain all the amazing things he had been told about, and the farewell between Grouchy and James was such an emotional one (SNIFF)!
Ahh, Brainy and Jokey... Sometimes they can be two wet blankets, these guys! But I liked to see how generous Brainy showed to be, sharing with other Smurfs the pleasure of having the book of Island of Sodor published.
As it's usually said in Brazil, your story "was closed with a golden key", otherwise, got its crowning touch! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Do you intend to write more adventures of Smurfs interacting with other stories' characters? I hope so! ![[Happy Smurf]](graemlins/Happy_Smurf.gif)

That was a great story, Amtrak!
As a Mario fan and a Smurfs fan, I'd say you have an interesting idea, SHB. Speaking of which, I can't believe I still haven't drawn Mario and Luigi as Smurfs yet!

R. C. - Thank you.
Squeaky - Thank you, and I knew you would cry when you read the ending. And right now, I'm taking a break from all this tiring work. ![[Sleeping Smurf]](graemlins/Sleeping_Smurf.gif)
K. S. - Many thanks from you.
SHB - I'm still upset for what you had done. And, NO! I'm NOT going to write a story about your favorite show! And FYI, I'M NOT A VIDEO GAME FREAK, I'M A TRAIN LOVER PERSON! AND I'M STILL AND ALWAYS STICKING WITH THOMAS & FRIENDS!
SO FAT CHANCE, LOSER! ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
And again, thank you everyone!
Expect SHB!

Thanks for the story, Amtrak Smurf, but you shouldn't act so rude towards others.

Everyone makes mistakes. We've all done something stupid at one point or another. That's no reason to hold a grudge.

Kojinka and Raven are right, Amtrak. The problem was already solved and you won't see any different pic in this topic again. Please don't worry about this anymore.
