Christmas Presents/Transcript

(Thomas puffs into view, chuffing very fast towards Gordon's hill)

Thomas: Whoo-hoo!

(The camera freezes, turns around Thomas, and it starts again. Thomas lands on the tracks again round a corner)

Thomas: Don't you know that Christmas is a time for giving? Well, Ashima tried to give me a good present. But... You'll have to see what she gets me. (Toot toot) All aboard for a big adventure.

Thomas (Narrating): Christmas Presents.​​​​​​

Thomas: I hope that Ashima's gonna like my present.

(Ashima is seen at Knapford yards, looking worried.)

Ashima: (quietly) Oh. What am I gonna do when Thomas gets here?

Hank: It's fine. Don't worry.

Dory: Yeah. It's gonna be okay.

Marlin: I mean, Thomas isn't gonna be here until-

(Then…)

(Toot toot)

Nemo: Uh-Oh. Spoiler alert.

(Thomas appears)

Thomas: Ashima! Could you come over please?

Ashima: (quietly) Oh no! Not now! What am I going to say?!

Hank: Relax.

Ashima: (quietly) Just hide.

(Ashima nervously moves over to Thomas. They blush as they touch buffers.)

Thomas and Ashima: There’s something I- Oh! (giggle)

Ashima: You go first.

Thomas: Alright. Ashima, I wanted to give you this.

(Thomas’ driver reveals a necklace with a heart on.)

Thomas: This was my friends, Theo's gift to Lexi. And he gave it to me to give to you.

(Ashima gasps in astonishment as the necklace is placed around her funnel.)

Thomas: Ashima, your part of this railway. You always have, and I hope you always will.

(Ashima begins to cry.)

Thomas: Ashima? What’s wrong? If you don’t like it-

Ashima: No, Thomas. It’s beautiful. It’s wonderful. (looks down, sad) It’s just… I couldn’t find you a gift. I don’t know what to get or-

Thomas: But you did. Ashima, you gave me the greatest present in the world: You. Just having you with me is the best present I could wish for.

(Ashima was touched beyond words. Lunging forward, she smashed her lips onto his, her tongue sliding into his mouth. Thomas instantly returned the favour.)

Everyone: Awwww!

(Hank sheds a few tears)

Dory: Uh, Hank? Are you crying?

Hank: NO! I just caught… oh fine, you got me!

Marlin: That boy is growing up.

Nemo: He sure is, dad.

(Thomas sees the others)

Thomas: What-! What are you still doing here?! Get out of here! Go make yourselves useful!

(The others chuckle and giggle as they leave, allowing Thomas and Ashima to be alone.)

Ashima: Come here, you monkey!

(Thomas and Ashima lock lips for a few seconds, then slowly break off, staring dreamily into each other’s eyes.)

Ashima: Merry Christmas, Thomas.

Thomas: Merry Christmas, Ashima.

(Then they shared another kiss. As they kissed, a mistletoe appeared above them and began to glow, sprinkling gold dust down on them.)
