Thomas delivers all his trucks to the docks and picks up the special load.
But when they get to Arlesdale End, Toby still has not left yet when Thomas hears Toby's bell, so he takes Flora to the docks to pick up a special load. After collecting the trucks, they go back to Arlesdale End. Knowing that Toby is still there, Thomas leads Flora to the Shunting Yards to collect trucks of stone for Toby not to see her. When they arrive at Arlesdale End, the shed looks empty, until Thomas sees steam coming out of the shed. They arrive at the Lumber Mill for Thomas to collect a flatbed of logs and Thomas says they can meet Toby much to Flora's excitement, but really Thomas wants to go to Arlesdale End to see if Toby has gone. Thomas suggests going to the Lumber Mill first and Flora tells him it sounds exciting. When they arrive at a junction, Thomas has an idea if he takes Flora to do his jobs with him before going to meet Toby at Arlesdale End, that way Toby would leave to lead the parade while they are gone. Thomas thinks that Toby would prefer to lead the parade alone and would be upset if he met another steam tram. When Thomas arrives at Great Waterton, he is surprised to meet a new steam tram called Flora, who is to lead the parade with Toby. However, Thomas has to go to Great Waterton, where the Fat Controller is waiting for him to give him three important jobs to do. It is the first Great Waterton parade and Thomas is excited that Toby is to lead it.
