Good morning, Thomas.
Who's that, Thomas? That's Toby! He's a special friend.

- Belle's boiler bubbled.
Toby has a bell.
I'm sure we'd be good friends.

Belle pumped her pistons.
- (CLANGING) - And she rang her bell loudly! I'll wheesh there right away.
Belle huffed to a halt.
Her steam swirled.
- Hello, Toby.
I'm Belle.
- (CLANGING) Toby was surprised.
Belle was big.
Toby felt small.
- Hello, Belle.
- (BIRD S CHIRPING) - We both have bells.
- (CLANGING) - We can have fun together.
- Toby's wheels wobbled.
Maybe I'm having fun listening to the birds.
Belle didn't think listening to the birds was fun at all.
Come on, Toby! I know how we can have much more fun.
Follow me! Belle wheeshed away.
So Toby rattled and rolled behind.
First, Belle took Toby to Gordon's Hill.
Let's race to the top and then whoosh down! But Toby didn't want to whoosh.
So he wheeshed back into a siding.
- Ready to roll, Toby? - (CLANGING) Belle whooshed down the other side.
Whoo! Fizzling fireboxes, Toby, that was fun! But Toby didn't answer.
Because Toby wasn't there.
- Belle puffed puzzled.
- Toby? Toby? Where are you? And Belle steamed swiftly away to find Toby.
Belle found Toby.
He was hiding in a siding.
- I thought I'd lost you, Toby.
- Toby wheeshed.
I'm an old steam tram.
I'm not good at racing up hills.
Belle beamed.
She wanted Toby to be her friend.
Don't worry.
I know just what we'll do to have fun! - Pump your pistons, Toby! - (CLANGING) Belle pumped her pistons.
Toby's pistons peeped.
Belle raced and rattled along the tracks.
Toby puffed and panted along at the back, to Farmer Trotter's pigs! - Toby smiled.
- (PIGS GRUNTING) I like Farmer Trotter's pigs.
They make me happy.
- That made Belle happy.
- I knew we'd have fun as friends! Then an idea burst in Belle's bell.
- Pigs like mud! - (WHIRRING) Watch this, Toby! Water gurgled and burbled in big Belle's pipes.
(GURGLING) Then, with a whoosh and a wheesh, water shot from her spouts! Trembling tracks! What's happening? Toby had never seen an engine wheesh water before.
The pigs are happy in the mud we made! But Toby wasn't happy.
He rolled back quietly into a siding.
(CHUCKLES) Shall I soak them again, Toby? It would be fun! But Toby didn't answer.
Because Toby wasn't there.
- Belle puffed puzzled.
- Toby? Toby? Where are you? And Belle huffed hurriedly away to find Toby.
Belle found Toby.
He was hiding in a siding behind some trucks.
- I thought I'd lost you, Toby! - Toby jiggled and juddered.
I'm an old steam tram.
I'm not used to wheeshing water.
Belle's boiler bubbled.
She really wanted Toby to be her friend.
Don't worry.
I have another idea.
Let's chuff to Maithwaite station! (CLANGS) So Toby clickety-clacked along the track behind Belle to Maithwaite station.
There were lots of people there.
Belle steamed to a stop.
- (CLANGING) - She rang her big brass bell.
It was the loudest bell the passengers had ever heard.
Listen to us! We're the Bells of Sodor! (CLANGING) Toby didn't ring his bell.
Toby trembled on the tracks.
Your turn, Toby! But Toby didn't answer.
Because Toby wasn't there.
Toby? Toby? Where are you? Belle wheeshed with worry.
She raced away like a rocket! Belle wanted to find her friend Toby.
Belle found Toby.
He was hiding at his home.
Belle felt sad and silly.
I wanted you to be my friend.
I wanted to have fun with you, so that you would want to be my friend, too.
But you didn't have fun at all.
Now I'm sure you won't want to be my friend.
Toby and Belle were quiet and calm.
- Then Belle heard the birds.
- (CHIRPING) - They twittered and tweeted a tune.
- The birds are beautiful! - Toby smiled.
- I know! - I like listening to them.
- So do I.
Toby chuffed and puffed.
Would you like to visit the pigs again? They're my friends.
- I left without huffing "hello".
- Of course I would, Toby! Belle and Toby wheeshed and watched the pigs.
- The pigs snorted and snuffled.
- (GRUNTING) Hello, my friends! This is Belle.
Belle smiled at Toby.
She didn't scare him now.
Would you like to go to Maithwaite? I think your friends would like to see you.
So Toby and Belle chuffed to Maithwaite station.
- Hello, Toby! - Toby jingled and jangled his bell.
- (CLANGING) - Hello.
This is Belle.
Belle beamed.
Then Belle rang her big brass bell as quietly and calmly as she could.
- (CLANGING) - Toby's boiler bubbled.
Belle is my friend.
We're the Bells of Sodor.
Aren't we, Belle? Belle beamed.
She couldn't have been happier.
