This story is dedicated in memory of both the Reverend Wilbert Awdry (1911 - 1997) and Brian Goldner (1963 - 2021), without whom neither Thomas nor Sunny's stories would have been told.

Sunny and her friends will return in... Thomas and Friends: the Feast of Steven!

---

There was a loud crash from the top of Culdee Fell, and two climbers quickly made their way up to the sight of the sound.

"What is that?" asked one of them, pointing at the strange cylinder sitting before them.

"It looks like some sort of pod," said the other as he stepped closer. He looked at the pod for a moment, before suddenly the machine hissed.

Both men ran for their lives as the door opened, and Discord stepped out. His clothing was ragged and battered, but he was very much alive.

"Sunny thinks she's so clever for stopping me, eh?" he said, snarling. "Well, I'll soon put a stop to that. This is just the beginning. I'll come back. I always come back."

Next story launches in December.

[ScisetShimmerEvan]

Sunny and her friends will return in... Thomas and Friends: the Feast of Steven!

Oh?

"Sunny thinks she's so clever for stopping me, eh?" he said, snarling. "Well, I'll soon put a stop to that. This is just the beginning. I'll come back. I always come back."

Lmao, he said the William Afton line!!!

1. This is the next story.

2. I mean, he does in the main show. Hopefully the pod's springlocks didn't fail...

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11750309
I bet it does.

[The Blue EM2]

11751307
And I have much source material left to compile.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11751432
Loads of it.

[The Blue EM2]

Given Thomas and Friends is the definition of archive panic (584 episodes, numerous specials, a feature film, untold numbers of books, etc).

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11751447
Quite right.

[The Blue EM2]

11751846
It'll be a tall order to watch it all for the 40th anniversary next year.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11751901
Yowsers!

[The Blue EM2]

Especially given not all of it is easily accesible on home media. Luckily Amazon Video have every single episode.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11751960
That’s good.

[The Blue EM2]

11752004
It sure is, or else I'd be purchasing a lot of DVDs.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11752145
Aye.

[The Blue EM2]

11752938
Yup. It'd be quite the storage challenge too.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11753012
I know what you mean, I’ve got a lot of Thomas video tapes. (Most of them being recordings of when Thomas aired on TV)

[The Blue EM2]

11753620
Many people I know aren't even aware VHS was a thing

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11753872
Yeah, I bet.

[The Blue EM2]

11753971
I'm a bit old in that regard.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11754336
Same here. I mean, I remember exactly how things changed in the last rough 30 years. Being bone in the 90s has its perks.

[The Blue EM2]

11754343
That it does. We heard all the good bands!

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11754357
And it helped me build up a huge Thomas/train collection. (Several being other kinds of trains)

[The Blue EM2]

11754361
Likewise. Still got all my old Thomas Wooden Railway!

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11754363
Same here. As well as Ertl, Tomy, Trackmaster, and a few others.

[The Blue EM2]

11754365
Ertl stuff is amazing.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11754466
Indeed it is. It’s amazing how they made the engines so accurately.

[The Blue EM2]

11754623
Sane for the Bachmann range.

[Thomlight Sparkle 1]

11754819
Indeed. I'm currently collecting all Bachmann models. And I'm also upgrading my Edward model.

Sweet!
