Rosie Gets It Wrong

Rosie Gets It Wrong is the twenty-second episode of Sodor High School: Thomas and Friends Tales.
==Synopsis==
Trying to help the Smelters class, Rosie tries to get Thomas involved in her goal.
==Plot==
Right after leaving the Smelter's Class, Rosie races to her classroom and arrives completely out of breath. When asked by Henry why she was in a rush, she says she wanted to avoid being late before they head in. Several minutes later, the teacher came into the classroom followed by Flynn and Belle, who are giving a fire safety lecture today. Gordon quietly murmurs that they learned what they know as children, but Flynn (having heard him) says it's important to remind themselves of the subject. For an hour and a half, everyone learns about dropping and rolling, feeling a door to check for flames on the other side, and other tips and tricks. At one point, Emily asks Thomas for a pencil and when Rosie tries to do the same, she gets caught talking by the teacher and laments over how Thomas didn't look at her with everyone else, leaving her worried that Diesel was right about Thomas ignoring her.
At the end of the day, Rosie walked up to Thomas and they briefly talk about Flynn and Belle's visit and how funny it was when James tried to flirt with Belle. Feeling hopeful, Rosie asks Thomas if he's free to hang out, but, unfortunately, he, Percy, and Emily are helping Flynn and Belle at the annual spring sale while the rest of their brigade are on call. He offers to hang out the next night and Rosie sadly agrees before Thomas leaves to catch up to Percy and Emily.
Rosie unhappily walks to the exit, but stops by the Smelter's Class first. She finds Mister Ten and his students in the back room working on fixing broken down equipment. Mister Ten greets her and asks about her day; she recaps what she learned from the firefighters and gripes about Thomas ignoring her. Mister Ten says he knows the feeling of being ignored since his youth, and adds that only Rosie and his students listen to him. They hear a clatter from the back, Den and Dart start arguing, and Mister Ten yells for them both to be silent, hushing the two out of fear rather than respect. Fortunately, Rosie makes a suggestion about a few empty classrooms that Mister Ten and the Smelter's Class students could use, pleasing Mister Ten. He does mention that Sir Topham Hatt, calling him a cheapskate, barely listens to him and finds it unfair that his students have to work in a small space—until Rosie offers to talk to the principal in the morning. Happy to hear such an offer, Mister Ten decides to have Dart show Rosie a hidden exit of the classroom so she doesn't miss her bus, and Rosie makes it in time.
The following morning, an hour before classes were to begin, Rosie arrives early to talk to Sir Topham Hatt, and speaks to the secretary, Stacy Jones. To Rosie's disappointment, she learns that Sir Topham Hatt has left for a meeting with the mayor. As soon as Rosie brings up the Smelter's Class and how its students want a bigger classroom, Stacy becomes a little hesitant and claims that there's nothing to talk about regarding it, upsetting Rosie as she leaves the office to visit Mister Ten again, who is furious to hear what Stacy had said. Luckily, his good mood returns when Rosie suggests an idea; if she convinces another person to help, like Thomas, they can convince Sir Topham Hatt to listen. Mister Ten first wants to talk to Thomas, and Rosie leaves to find him.
After arriving at homeroom, Rosie finds Thomas, who apologizes to her for seemingly ignoring her for the last little while and reveals he wants to hang out with her tonight, making her happy and reveal she had been visiting the Smelter's Class, shocking her friends. James dismisses the idea that Diesel and his friends need a new classroom, with Gordon reminding Rosie that most of the Smelter students are a thorn in their sides and Henry believing that they are trying to trick Rosie. Duck warns Rosie to stay away from them, but Rosie rants that the Smelter students deserve something better than what they already have before asking Thomas to come with her to visit Mister Ten at the end of the day. Emily is convinced that something's wrong and decides to come along, just to be on the safe side. Thomas agrees to come to see Mister Ten, which makes Rosie happy. Toby asks if Thomas and Emily made the right choice, but they aren't sure. James suggests not going, but Thomas disagrees.
At the end of the day, Rosie returns to the Smelter Class and tells Mister Ten that Thomas and Emily are coming to hear the whole story. Sir Topham Hatt, meanwhile, is still visiting the mayor, and Mister Percival left early according to Skarloey due to feeling ill. Mister Ten then reveals some alterations to the plan; they're going to take over the entire school instead, with Rosie leading the charge. When the school is under the control of the Smelter's Class, Sir Topham Hatt will listen to the demands. When they are met, control of the school will immediately go back to him. At first nervous, Rosie is relieved to hear that.
Thomas and Emily arrive, and Thomas immediately recognizes Mister Ten as someone from his past. Mister Ten greets the two, saying Den and Dart will take them around the place. Thomas refuses to play along, but Den and Dart capture him and Emily. Thomas tries to warn Rosie that Mister Ten is none other than Diesel 10, but fails, as Rosie leads Mister Ten and the Smelter students to the principal's office. Mister Ten kicks the door open and intimidates Stacy Jones into silence before being led into Sir Topham Hatt's office by Rosie. There, Mister Ten speaks to the whole school through the microphone, claiming that the school is now his—and he won't be giving it back, claiming anyonme who opposes him will be destroyed, adding that it was all thanks to Rosie that his plan was accomplished so successfully. To Rosie's dismay, Mister Ten was being serious in his speech. It gets worse when Diesel, 'Arry, and Bert let it slip that Mister Ten is really Diesel 10, the hated enemy of Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt. Diesel 10 has wanted to become principal of Sodor High for a long time, but Sir Topham Hatt fired him for staging what amounts to be a coup d'etat. Diesel 10 decides to spare keeping Rosie as a prisoner and allows her to leave before putting the school on lockdown to ensure nobody gets in or out. Knowing that this is her fault, Rosie flees in tears.
Back inside the Smelter Class, Thomas and Emily are left tied up by Den and Dart. Emily knows that they have to find a way out before Diesel 10 learns that she is Sir Topham Hatt's daughter, and Thomas reinforces that he will not break his promise to the principal and will protect her to the bitter end. Diesel 10 shows up and taunts Thomas, glad to have caught the one boy he hates so much. Thomas knows Diesel 10 wants revenge, but requests that Emily be kept out since she's done nothing to the Smelter students. Diesel 10 agrees, but adds that Emily will be kept around so she can watch Thomas die when it's time. He then leaves the prisoners, but what he doesn't know is that there is oil on the floor, spilled by two students in his class. Snapping his claw hand from his sinister laughter, he let loose sparks which land on the floor. Because of the sparks touching the oil, it slowly starts a fire.
