Fergus is proud to be on Sodor. He is also a rule follower and knows to follow it well. One day, Fergus was working extremely hard. He had to go to the Steamworks tomorrow for an inspection. Dennis was going to be in charge while he was away.

Fergus: "Now Dennis, you must make sure that you are ready to work. There's an order that's going to Miss Jenny this afternoon. Please follow the rules."

Dennis: "Yes Fergus. Will do Fergus."

Fergus puffed happily to the Steamworks, he was excited for the inspection because he would get a chance to see one of his friends; Victor and Kevin. Meanwhile, Dennis wasn't doing what he was suppose to do. He had to send Bert to take the cement to Miss Jenny instead. Bert was annoyed about this.

Bert: "We'll see if your still a friend to us diesels. All you need to do is derail Fergus in a way, then you can be proven to be a friend of ours."

Dennis: "Also, I'm going to break all the rules."

Bert: "Good plan."

When Fergus returned, he was so shocked that he felt as bad as Diesel.

Fergus: "What happened to the Cement Works?!"

Dennis: "Nothing! Now go and get some cars and make a train for Duck, now."

Fergus: "Do it right."

Dennis: "Then let me show you."

And with that, Dennis came rusting towards Fergus. Fergus puffed into a pile made by the broken chutes.

That evening, Dennis got warned that if that happened again, he would be sent away and replaced. Dennis just had to break simple things in life, like rules.
