Plot
Edward steamed into the Main Station where Gordon was looking more grumpier than ever! He explains that he's not very likes and Edward tells him that he should try being nice for a change. Gordon decides to put this to the test and soon meets Thomas. He asks Thomas how he's feeling today. Thomas is so surprised that he ran into a set of buffers - sending eggs flying from his trucks over the Fat Controller. Later, Gordon tooted "hello" to Diesel, who's so surprised that he comes off the rails and lands in a lake! Next, he meets Percy who is so surprised at Gordon's cheery greeting that he jerks his truck of toys; sending all the Jack-in-the-Boxes bouncing!

Upset, Gordon chuffed back to his shed. He decides that everyone expects him to be grumpy. Then, Gordon is surrounded by a crowd of people cheering. They had seen all the funny things that had happened whilst Gordon was around. Gordon is surprised that he is everyone's friend, after all!
