00:00The engines on the island of Sodor love the summer.
00:11The FAT controller arranges lots of concerts.
00:14Music can often be heard drifting through the air.
00:21The engines do enjoy it.
00:25One morning, the engines were very excited.
00:28Alicia Botti, the famous singer, was coming to the island of Sodor.
00:33She's a coloratura, said Gordon importantly.
00:37What's a coloratura? asked Thomas.
00:40It means she can sing high notes very, very loud.
00:43The FAT controller will choose me to collect her, boasted James.
00:47I'm the brightest and the shiniest.
00:49Nonsense! I'm the brightest and the shiniest.
00:52Nonsense! I'm the most important, huffed Gordon.
00:56Thomas wanted to feel important too.
00:58He might choose me, he said hopefully.
01:03Well, one thing's for sure, said Gordon.
01:05He won't choose Dirty Percy.
01:07Don't call me Dirty Percy!
01:10He chuffed crossly and he wheeshed away.
01:15But the next day, the FAT controller didn't choose Gordon.
01:19And he didn't choose James.
01:22He chose Thomas.
01:24Make sure Annie and Clarabel are squeaky clean, he said.
01:27Yes, sir, said Thomas proudly. He felt very important indeed.
01:33Move aside, Dirty Percy, chuffed Thomas.
01:36I'm the important engine today.
01:39But I need a washdown, wailed Percy.
01:42My passengers will laugh at me.
01:44But I have to be squeaky clean, huffed Thomas.
01:47So you'll just have to wait.
01:49I can't wait, grumped Percy.
01:52I'm a guaranteed connection.
01:54Annie chuffed away.
01:58Soon, Thomas was shiny and squeaky clean.
02:02He felt more important than ever.
02:04But as the workers coupled Annie and Clarabel, they heard a strange noise.
02:10What's that? asked Thomas anxiously.
02:13His driver quickly oiled Annie and Clarabel's undercarriage.
02:16That should take care of the bothersome squeak, he said.
02:20On the way to the docks, Thomas heard the squeak again.
02:25He was worried. It didn't sound like his squeaky clean squeak.
02:29Thomas squeaked noisily into the quayside where Alicia Botti was waiting.
02:36The Fat Controller held Clarabel's door open when...
02:41Alicia Botti screamed.
02:47And she screamed.
02:49And she screamed.
02:51And she screamed.
02:53She screamed so loud and so long that windows broke all over town.
02:59Definitely a coloratura, said Gordon.
03:01Alicia Botti was cross.
03:04I can't possibly travel in a coach that riddles them with a mate.
03:08The Fat Controller was very embarrassed.
03:10And Thomas didn't feel important at all.
03:14Just then, Percy returned from his guaranteed connection.
03:21Look, Percy.
03:24Look at the little green engine, Alicia Botti exclaimed.
03:28So sweet and dirty, like a proper steam engine.
03:32Peasant, Gordon huffed snootily.
03:34Yes, I am pleasant, smiled Percy.
03:36He was glad somebody noticed.
03:39Alicia Botti boarded the train and Percy steamed away.
03:43He felt very proud.
03:48Later, Thomas and Clarabel got on the train.
03:52Later, Thomas saw Percy at the washdown.
03:57I'm sorry I called you dirty, Percy, said Thomas.
04:00You go first.
04:02Thanks, Thomas. It feels good to be friends, said Percy.
04:06But where is your mouse?
04:08You'll see, grinned Thomas.
04:10That night was Alicia Botti's concert.
04:13Her voice carried across half of the island.
04:16The Fat Controller had made the little mouse her very own home
04:20in the corner of Tidmouth Sheds.
04:23And Thomas named her Alicia.
