Thomas: Weird. There are doors each representing a holiday.

[Thomas notices a door shaped like a pumpkin]

Thomas: Hmm. [goes to the door and opens it]

Ryan F-Freeman: You think this is a good idea, Thomas?

Thomas: Of course it is, Ryan. What's the worst that could happen?

Ryan F-Freeman: You would take Crash with you, Thomas.

Thomas: I'll be fine. [puffs into the doorway but soon finds himself plunging into shere darkness]

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas!

Twilight Sparkle: What's wrong, Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas just fell down that hole. We have to help him.

[Later, Thomas is seen falling down the dark hole]

Thomas: Argh! [hits the floor] Oof!

[He looks around and sees a scarecrow dangling from a sign that says Halloween Town]

Thomas: Halloween Town?

[Thomas puffs past the Scarecrow and enters a graveyard, where shadows pop up one by one in front of him  and the song This Is Halloween starts playing]

Shadow: Young tank engine of such age~

Thomas: No! Keep away from me! [puffs into a house, shuts the door, hurries upstairs and sighs with relief]

Monster from under the bed: I am the one hiding under your bed~

Thomas: Oh, no!

Monster from under the bed: Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red~

Thomas: I'm out! [runs to the side of the stares] Phew, that was close!

Monster from under the stairs: I'm the one hiding under your stairs~

Thomas: Who said that?

Monster from under the stairs: [comes out of the cuboard] Me. Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair~

Thomas: Argh! Get away from me! You're too scary! [races out of the house and shuts the door]

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise~

Red 'n' black, slimy green~

Werewolf: Aren't you scared?~

Thomas: Yes.

Witches: Well, that's just fine~

Say it once, say it twice~

Take a chance and roll the dice~

Ride with the moon in the dead of night~

Thomas: You know Ryan can fly with a jetpack.[backs up to a tree]

[The tree turns, revealing it has a face and skeletons dangling from it's branches and approaches Thomas]

[Thomas watches in horror as Jack Skellington rises from the fountain]

Jack Skellington: Why hello there.

Thomas: F-F-Fizzling F-F-F-F-Fireboxes. [backs away from Jack]

Jack Skellington: Wait! Don't be scared. [looks at Thomas] You must be OpThomas Prime. Am I right?

Thomas: Yes. But please don't hurt me.

[Jack approaches Thomas]

Jack Skellington: It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you.

Thomas: Then why is everyone here scaring me?

Jack Skellington: That's what the people of Halloween Town does every Halloween.

Thomas: Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you Jack. I'm Thomas the Tank Engine. [transforms into robot mode and shakes Jack's hand]

Jack Skellington: I'm Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. It's nice to meet you.

[Back up above, Twilight and Ryan are running]

Ryan F-Freeman: I think we need help, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Just where are we going to get help? I mean it's not like we can run at lightning speed or something.

Ryan F-Freeman: I got it! [stops] Let me open a portal for us. [waves his hand and a portal opens up]

[They race inside and arrive at the Autobot Base]
