==Synopsis==
As a reward for aiding someone in need, Sir Topham Hatt allows his daughter and Thomas to spend the day out on his boat.
==Plot==
The Christmas holidays is getting closer, and the halls of Sodor High were decorated as christmas music played over the speakers in the morning. Thomas, Emily, and Percy talk about what they enjoy about the holidays, only for Emily to be saddened by the thought of not getting to celebrate with her parents this year; Thomas comforts her by saying his parents are often away on business trips during this time of year, so it's just him and his sisters at home. The trio is passed by James, Percy still wondering how his attitude has changed, to which Thomas and Emily remain silent.
Percy departs to his locker to collect some things, while Thomas and Emily spot the trophy display case and see the one the school's football team has almost always won. Emily expresses hope in joining the team, but knows her Father wouldn't approve; Thomas lifts her spirits again by saying she could be allowed to join any team once Diesel 10 is caught amd he'll attend all her games to cheer her on, causing Emily to blush and thank him. Diesel soon comes up to the case and wishes he could have the trophy only for Thomas to point out that he'd need to join a sports team and win a competition, and even then the trophy would belong to the entire team. The bell rings and Thomas and Emily head to class, Percy racing after them. Diesel sulks over what Thomas had said and once the halls are clear, he takes the trophy for himself, stuffing it in a rubbish bag and into his locker before going to class.
Later once classes were out, Thomas and Emily bike through the countryside after taking the train to the junction; they stop somewhere to admire a view of the island, like the harbor. The two spot Diesel biking past them with the rubbish bag containing the trophy on the back and upon their realizing, Diesel races off forcing them to go after him. However even with the trophy adding weight and causing Diesel to pedal harder, Thomas and Emily can't catch up to him. Diesel soon loses them when they have to stop at red traffic lights but by the time he gets close to his hometown, they're still chasing him and he pedals toward a steep hill to lose them for good. However, he speeds down the other side and loses control as the trophy's weight forces him downhill. More trouble lay ahead as a bridge currently under repairs had a huge gap in the middle and Diesel headed straight for it: unable to stop, he jumped off his bike at the very last moment and while his bike and the trophy plunged into the river canal below, Diesel skids and grabs a metal pipe on the edge. Thomas and Emily soon arrived and grabbing Diesel's arms, they pull him back to safety, Diesel giving his thanks as a crowd nearby cheers for the two teens.
That night, Emily and Thomas told Annie and Clarabel about their heroics of which sisters were quite impressed by. Thomas feels guilt over failing to save the trophy but is assured that the two older teens made the right choice. Just then, Sir Topham Hatt arrives and gives congratulations to his daughter and Thomas for what they did, while expressing disappointment with Diesel and having to order a new trophy which won't arrive until the new year. To reward the two teens in front of him, he allows them to use his motor boat for a trip along the coast.
The next day, Thomas and Emily arrive at the dockyards near Brendam docks, where they find a man with scruffy looking teeth and a white beard washing the windows of a bait shop and Sir Topham Hatt's boat in the water. The man, Captain Salty, introduces himself and warns them to be careful and be wary of Misty Island, even though it's said to be a legend. Salty goes on telling Thomas and Emily of the island's mysterious nature and the locals' strange customs, and the tale of a man from Sodor who went there and got stranded. The man used smoke signals to call for help, which were unseen until the mist lifted and he was rescued.
Once Salty finishes his tale and leaves, the teens board the boat and spend the day enjoying the sights around the coast with Emily fishing at one point, something Thomas avoids due to his allergy to fish. They also have a special picnic prepared by both Sir Topham and Lady Hatt; due to the relaxing atmosphere, they fall asleep. When they wake up, it's about four in the afternoon and starting to get dark. Once they get their bearings, Emily goes to start the motor only to find it not working. Thomas makes a few efforts but it's clear the motor is dead and since they're too far for anybody to hear them calling for help, they're left to fall asleep together from the waves rocking the boat.
The two teens don't wake up until they're jolted from the boat reaching land. Seeing nothing but trees and mist, they tie the boat down and slowly journey inland to figure out where they are and find help. As they walk, they hear strange noises all around them: when they find nobody, they continue onward. Later while walking through a rocky valley, Thomas and Emily ran as rocks fell around them, nearly resulting in them getting crushed. When they reach a wide open valley, they call out and only hear their own echoes at first, but suddenly hear steam locomotive whistles yet no one responds to their calls. Thomas and Emily eventually find a set of log cabins and some logging engines sitting next to a very large sawmill, so they know the island's inhabited by people. When they walked toward the cabins, they hear a low deep voice call out to them as a tall, serious, and angry-looking man appeared before them. When he accuses them of trespassing, two 13-ish year old boys show up to keep him from jumping to conclusions. Thomas and Emily introduce themselves as do the boys, Bash, Dash, and the old man is their uncle Ferdinand who jovially welcomes the Sodor teens to Misty Island. Thomas explains how he and Emily arrived but since the loggers don't know anything about motors, they're stranded. Ferdinand offers to do what he can and allows the Sodor teens refuge, the both of them offering their own aid in their logging operations and learning about the machines.
Back on Sodor, Sir Topham Hatt was just leaving his office when the phone rang. He answers and hears Annie and Clarabel on the other end frantically telling him Thomas and Emily never returned home, which means they're lost at sea...
