### Season 22

* In "Rosie Is Red", after Thomas sticks up for Rosie because of Diesel's prank towards her, Bill and Ben tease them about each other liking each other. Thomas then imagines him and Rosie kissing offscreen and becomes embarrassed and cross. This leads to Thomas distancing himself from Rosie and being unkind to her to stop himself from getting teased. Thomas is at the wash down when Rosie arrives, wanting to thank Thomas for sticking up for her. Thomas knew that he stood up for Rosie but pretends not to remember because he does not want to be teased. He thought he was being very clever. This ends up embarrassing and offending Rosie and he takes off. After Sir Topham Hatt tells Thomas and Rosie to go to Vicarstown they both aren't happy about it but go anyway. As Rosie collects her delivery, she rushes the workmen to hurry up as she wants to get to Vicarstown quickly before Thomas. Edward is puzzled, and Rosie explains that Thomas was so rude to her. Edward did not understand and he knew that Thomas really liked Rosie. After having a conversation with Edward, Rosie runs away quickly and takes the shunter's pole before it can be unhooked. Meanwhile, Gordon comes up to Thomas and teases him, telling him that Rosie is behind him. This shocks Thomas, but luckily the signalman changes the points because Toby and Henrietta are in front of Thomas, who go onto a siding and he hides behind Toby and Henrietta, evading Rosie. When Thomas tells Henrietta about his problem, she convinces Thomas to not care about what the other engines think, and to talk about it with Rosie. When they arrive they both blush while Thomas apologises to Rosie for how he acted, telling her that he does like her a lot - just as a friend, not as Boyfriend/Girlfriend. Rosie was not going to say anything at first but Rosie happily states that she feels the same way. This makes Thomas and Rosie very happy to be just friends and nothing more.
