James and Emily

James and Emily are very close friends and both are members of the Steam Team. Though he doesn't admit, it it's been rumoured that James has crush on Emily, and that Emily may have had feelings towards James. Emily is also the only engine, who has never caused James jealousy or anger, unlike the others. However, there can be some moments where James can teased Emily or even ignore her advice.

## Problems

* In "Tale of the Brave", James was asked to take the Flying Kipper to fill in for Henry, who is staying overnight on the mainland after taking a heavy goods train. He is annoyed to be working in the dark, and gets more annoyed when teased by Emily and later Porter when he got to Brendam Docks. Later on in the film, Percy returns to the sheds, still pulling his mail trucks, as he yells that he saw a monster (which was Reg's Scrap Monster that James used to scare Percy). This ends up with him being teased by Gordon and James, while Emily tries to tell them to stop.
* In "Best Engine Ever", when Emily was feeling sad for thinking Caitlin was better then her, James told Emily that she can be his back engine when has to head up the coast to Arlesburgh (this likely takes place during Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure), implying that he wanted to be at the front so that engines, workers and people can see his paintwork and he didn't want Emily to be the centre of attention.
* In "The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor", James rushes in and brakes sharply at Knapford, causing him to be told off by Sir Topham Hatt and Emily. Earlier he said "Hello Emily", which Emily gave an annoyed "Hello James" back to him and she rolls her eyes. Emily tells James that he might have brake problems if he carries on being a show off, but James continues to boast and an unamused Emily puffs away.
* In "Journey Beyond Sodor", Emily teased James about getting lost at the Mainland. At first James is reluctant, but suddenly likes the idea of being called a hero (not from Emily, but from Percy), before heading off into to the night to find Thomas.
