Episode 14
Emily, and James
Since Emily returned from the Steamworks, she was getting less work from Sir Tophamm Hat. Often, she had been sitting in the sheds not working, and some of the other engines made fun of her about it, and sometimes teased her. "Sir Tophamm Hat won't need you anymore." They said, "He wants powerful engines like us."
Emily felt sad. She began to cry one day, when Sir Tophamm Hat was giving the engines their work for the day. He saw that she was sad, and walked up to her. "Why are you sad?" He asked. "Would you like to pull James' passenger train for the day?"
"Oh yes." Said Emily with excitement. So they lit her fire, and she made lots of steam.
Emily collected three medium sized coaches. They were painted similar to her own coaches, but were slightly bigger. The dark green engine arrived at Gordon's hill, and felt the weight of her coaches as she pulled hard. Her wheels slipped, but she didn't stop. "I'll do it. I'll do it." She puffed.
By the time Emily reached the top of the hill, she whistled with hapiness, and continued on downhill.
Later that night, Sir Tophamm Hat spoke to her. "You have done a splendid job today. Your driver told me about your dilligent efforts about getting up Gordon's Hill. I am sorry that you didn't get much work recently, and I shall make it up to you."
"Thank you sir." Said Emily, and went off to the sheds, leaving her coaches so that a tank engine could shunt them away.
"I'm going to get more work from Sir Tophamm Hat." Emily announced to the others. "What do you think about that?"
"Rubbish." Said Thomas.
"Disgraceful." Said Gordon.
"Disgusting." Put in James.
"Despicable." Finished Henry. "I'm glad we got to say that again."
However, Emily was not able to hear them. She was so happy, and tired that she fell asleep at once.
Next morning, James was boasting about how Sir Tophamm Hat assigned him to pull the express since Gordon was not feeling well. "You watch me Emily," Boasted James, "As I rush by with the express. That will be a splendid sight for you." The red mixed traffic engine started to leave the sheds. "Goodbye everyone. Look out for me this afternoon." He said.
Emily just smiled, and went on to do her work. Today, she was to shunt some freight cars. Emily enjoyed that. She loved sneaking up on the freight cars, and giving them a bump. "Oh!" They would scream, "Whatever is happening?" Then, Emily would put them in their proper siding.
After shunting freight cars, Emily was told to wait in a siding, and have a rest. Presently, James arrived. Instead of nice shiny coaches, he was pulling two dirty coal cars, a tar wagon, and three freight cars carrying gravel. "A freight train. A freight train. A freight train." He complained. "The shame of it. The shame of it. Oh, the shame of it."
Emily giggled, and went to shunt more freight cars. Then there was trouble. "James got stuck on Gordon's Hill." Said a workman, "Can you go help him get up?" "I'll try my hardest." Said Emily cheerfully, and went to Gordon's Hill.
When she arrived, James was being spoken to severly by his driver, and fireman. "You're not trying." They said. "I can't do it. It's those freight cars, they hold an engine back. If they were coaches, then I'd be able to get up the hill with ease."
Emily's driver walked up to them, "We've come to push." He said. "No use at all." Remarked James. "You wait, and see." Said Emily's driver.
They backed down to the start of the hill, and Emily coupled up from behind. "I'm ready." She said. "No good." Said James, and the two engines started to get the train uphill.
James was cross, "I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it."
"I will do it. I will do it. I will do it." Puffed Emily. Her wheels slipped as she helped James get up the hill, but she was so surprised when they reached the top, and James took off quickly. "I've done it. I've done it." He puffed proudly.
Emily tried to keep up, but James was too fast for her. She was very sad about James not thanking her, but was glad he got over the hill with her help. The fireman gave her a nice long drink, and the driver said, "I'll get out my paint tomorrow, and give you a new coat of dark green. Then you'll be the most beautiful engine in the shed."

The end
The arcade was loaded with all kinds of games. There were video games, racing games, claw machines, and dart games. Upon entering, the foursome and the Beatles were given twenty-five tokens. They had lots of fun as they challenged each other while inside. George was able to beat one of the claw machines by winning a box of jelly babies, and Rosie won a keychain from a dart game. It was already getting dark as they went out of the building. The group then ate dinner and watched a musical fountain show. Ringo commented, "Wow. This is really beautiful." Rosie replied, "It truly is. It's also a great way to cap off our visit here." The others nodded in agreement. After the show ended, they went to the gift shop to buy more souvenirs as the park closed for the day.

"Are you mates ready for this?!" George asked the others while they lined up for the Roller Coaster. Rosie replied, "You betcha!" "We're on it!" Exclaimed Nicholas and Ringo. Everyone got goosebumps when it was finally their turn and as the car climbed up the steep track. Soon, it plunged down with increased speed. "Woooooooo!!!!!" They all screamed in excitement as they rode through twists, turns, and loops. The Beatles' and Nicholas' mop-tops nearly became mohawks from being suspended in the air several times. When the ride was over, the group went to a nearby kiosk to have some lemon-lime soda, which were served in souvenir tumblers. Rosie asked, "Did everyone enjoy the ride?" George replied, "Definitely! That was veddy thrilling." "...And suspenseful, too!" Added Ringo as he combed his mop-top back in place. After finishing their soda, the foursome and the Beatles decided to keep the tumblers. They then continued walking to their next ride, the River Rapids.

For their first ride, the foursome and the Beatles decided to try the bumper cars. They laughed and cheered as they bumped each other during the ride. After it ended, John exclaimed, "That was bloody magnificent!" Rosie replied, "It sure was!" Nicholas asked, "Shall we eat lunch before going to the next ride?" George replied, "Certainly. That long bus ride made me hungry." Ringo added, "Me too." Paul said, "Well then, let's look for a restaurant here." So, the group searched for and found a pizza restaurant. They ate a delicious and statisfying meal there. Afterwards, they walked around the area to let their food digest completely before proceeding to the Roller Coaster.

The foursome still didn't find any trace of Veronica after resuming their search. Rosie said, "Shall we go to another time period now?" Nicholas replied, "Yes. Let's go to the Victorian age." "All right!" Exclaimed Rosie. And so, this resumed their ride through time. When they arrived at the Victorian age, the foursome discovered that they have landed at the Great Exhibition of 1851. And on their back stands the Crystal Palace, where it is taking place. They became awed by the size and beauty of the building, and decided to go inside it to have a look around.

The ride to the Renaissance was shorter compared to the last one from the present day to the Middle Ages, and the foursome were able to stand up as they landed. Scruffy said, "It's very classy here!" Rosie replied, "It sure is! Let's take a look around first before resuming our search." "Okie dokie!" Exclaimed Buzzy. And so, they checked out the paintings and sculptures, watched a stage show, and ate some snacks at a cafe. Rosie even got an art set, which consisted of a canvas, three paintbrushes, and small paint cans.
