00:00Long lost friend.
00:07It was Christmas time on the island of Sodor, and another busy day at Brendam Dock's.
00:15Cranky was unloading cargo as usual.
00:19Hey men, look! What's this? Weighs a ton!
00:27Shiver me axles! It's Gator!
00:30Hello, Salty! Did you miss me?
00:33Oh, aye, matey, I did. But I know someone who missed you even more. Percy!
00:40Percy! Is he here? I'd love to see Percy.
00:44Percy used to come to the docks every day to see if you were back, but he doesn't do that anymore.
00:50Oh! Arr! Well, you have been gone a long time, matey.
01:00The ship Gator had arrived on had also brought a lot of rock salt to the island,
01:06but the delivery note had got wet on the journey, and no one could tell what it said.
01:15I think this salt is for the quarry, but I don't have an engine to take it there right now.
01:22Can you take it, Gator?
01:24I'd be happy to.
01:28And maybe I'll see Percy. Do tell him I'm back if you see him first, won't you?
01:34Arr! That we will, Gator!
01:40Good morning, Thomas!
01:42Good morning, Gator!
01:44Thomas nearly popped a piston when he realised who he'd seen.
01:48Gator!
01:49Yes, it's me! Just delivering some rock salt to the quarry.
01:53Does Percy know you're back?
01:55No, not yet, but please be sure to tell him when you see him!
01:59I will! See you later, Gator!
02:04Bust my buffers! Gator's back! Wait till Percy hears the news!
02:13Thomas raced into the shunting yard and found Percy working hard, keeping the trucks in order.
02:21Look out, Thomas! What's the rush?
02:24Percy, you'll never guess who's back on Sodor in time for Christmas!
02:29Who? Is it Santa Claus?
02:32Gator!
02:33Gator? Really? My old friend?
02:37Yes!
02:39This'll be the best Christmas ever!
02:42Well, um, where is he then?
02:45Oh, he had to make a delivery to the quarry.
02:48Thanks, Thomas! Maybe I'll make a delivery to the quarry too!
02:52But you don't have any trucks! What are you going to deliver?
02:55Me!
02:57Gator couldn't wait to make his delivery so that he could go and find Percy,
03:02but there seemed to be some sort of problem.
03:06Well, I never! It's you, isn't it? It's... Gator!
03:11Hello, Owen! Yes, it's me!
03:14Been a while, hasn't it?
03:16What's all that solve for, then?
03:18It's to keep the roads clear in winter.
03:21But I think I've brought it to the wrong place.
03:24I think this salt must be meant for the steamworks.
03:28Oh!
03:29Do me a favour, Owen. Tell Percy I'm back if you see him.
03:34Will do! Lovely to see you again, Gator!
03:39Gator hurried toward the steamworks.
03:42He was sure Percy would find him just in time.
03:46Gator! Gator!
03:49Hello, Percy! I saw Gator! He was here earlier!
03:53Great, Owen! But where is he now?
03:56Um... Oh! He went to the steamworks, I think!
04:00Oh! OK, then! Thanks!
04:06But Gator's salt delivery wasn't over yet.
04:10That looks like it says Knapford to me.
04:13The salt must be for the platforms at Knapford Station.
04:16They do get awfully icy in winter.
04:19OK, thanks!
04:21HORN BLOWS
04:26Percy chugged as fast as he could toward the steamworks.
04:30Gator! Gator!
04:33Gator! Gator!
04:35Gator! Gator!
04:38Percy chugged as fast as he could toward the steamworks.
04:42While Gator headed back in the opposite direction.
04:46But as Percy puffed over the bridge, Gator rumbled under it.
04:51And they didn't see each other!
04:54Gator had hoped he would have seen Percy by now.
04:58He wondered whether Percy even wanted to see him.
05:02Maybe he hadn't missed him at all.
05:06Percy wondered why Gator had gone to see everyone apart from him.
05:11Maybe Gator had forgotten all about him.
05:15HORN BLOWS
05:17Hello, Gator. Did you see Percy? He was looking for you.
05:21Oh, no, Thomas, I haven't.
05:24But he would have found me if he really wanted to see me.
05:28I've been all over the place.
05:31He would have found me if he really wanted to see me.
05:34I've been all over the island.
05:37But, Gator, whatever are you doing here with all that salt?
05:47No, no, no. This salt is meant for the docks.
05:51It's to stop them being slippery in the icy weather.
05:55I'm sorry, Gator, but you'll have to take it back.
05:58Off you go. We don't want any more confusion and delay.
06:03Sorry, sir.
06:06HORN BLOWS
06:10WHISTLE BLOWS
06:12Express train coming through!
06:16WHISTLE BLOWS
06:22Percy, there you are!
06:24Listen, the Fat Controller just sent Gator to...
06:27I don't think Gator wants to see me, Thomas.
06:30He's probably forgotten all about me.
06:33But, Percy, Gator thinks it's you who doesn't want to see him.
06:38He does?
06:39Yes. He's heading back to the docks right now.
06:43Oh, no. He's going to go away again.
06:47WHISTLE BLOWS
06:48I have to catch up with him.
06:51Gator waited while Cranky unloaded the rock salt again.
06:56He was very sad at the thought that Percy didn't want to see him.
07:01Hurry, hurry, hurry!
07:03Oh, I hope I'm not too late.
07:09Ahoy, me hearty!
07:11Oh, hey, did you know that Gator is...
07:13I know, I know!
07:15Percy looked everywhere, but he couldn't see Gator.
07:22Oh, no. The ship is leaving.
07:26I've missed him.
07:28Gator, wait!
07:30Watch out, Percy!
07:37Luckily, nobody was hurt.
07:39But there was rock salt all over the ship.
07:42Percy was very sorry about the mess.
07:46But he was even more sorry that he was too late to see Gator.
07:51Goodbye, Gator.
07:53Hello, Percy.
07:58Gator!
07:59Yes, but this wasn't quite the greeting I was expecting from you.
08:04I thought I'd missed you again, Gator.
08:07Yes, I'm back, Percy.
08:09And this time, I'm going to stay.
08:12At least long enough to wash off all this salt.
08:16Oh, you're right there, matey.
08:19We can't have two salties on Sodor.
08:25Percy couldn't believe it.
08:27His old friend was back for good.
08:30Oh, no!
08:32Percy couldn't believe it.
08:34His old friend was back for Christmas.
08:37And he was a very happy little engine.
