This is it:

When Porter showed Rusty and Sir Handel a picture of the jet engine, they were astonished.

"Cool," they both said.

"Hey Porter," said Sir Handel, "if you don't mind, when the jet engine arrives, mind if I try it out?"

"I'm sorry Sir Handel," said Porter, "but if you use it, you could get into an accident."

"What," gasped Sir Handel, "oh come on!"

"Porter's right, Sir Handel," said Rusty, "you could get into trouble if you use that thing."

"It's so unfair," said Sir Handel, who then ran off crying.

"Sir Handel wait," said Rusty as he chased after Sir Handel.

Later that night, it was 10:00 PM, and Sir Handel was still upset about not getting to use the jet engine.

"I'm sorry Sir Handel," said Rusty, "but if you use that, you could get into trouble with it."

"But I really wanna use it," whined Sir Handel.

"I'm sorry Sir Handel," said Rusty, "now get some sleep."

Just then, an idea burst into Sir Handel's funnel.

"I have an idea," he said to himself, "tomorrow, I'll go over to the docks at 7:00, which is when the jet engine arrives and take it for a little spin."

The next morning, Sir Handel waited for his alarm clock to say "7:00". When it did, he got out of his room and was about to head out to the docks when Skarloey saw him.

"Sir Handel," Skarloey asked, "what are you doing?"

"Um," said Sir Handel as he tried to think of something to say, "I'm just gonna go out and get some fresh air!"

"OK," said Skarloey, who then settled in to watch Blue's Clues on TV.

"Phew," said Sir Handel as he grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and left, "he bought it!"

Soon, Sir Handel arrived at the docks, where the jet engine had just been broken from its crate, shining like a star.

"Holy dang," gasped Sir Handel, "it's better than I thought it would be!"

Soon, Sir Handel was coupled up to the jet engine, but what he didn't know was that Edward was nearby, practicing his cricket bowling.

"OK," Edward said to himself, "you can do this, Ed!"

He tossed the ball and swung his bat so that it struck the ball from underneath. The ball soared through the air and accidentally flipped the switch on the jet engine, making it fire up.

"Uh, Sir Handel," said Edward, "I think I may have accidentally turned the jet engine on."

"Really," said Sir Handel, "thanks, dude!"

Sir Handel then counted down from 3 to 1 just as the jet engine was busy firing up.

"Blast off," Sir Handel shouted as he roared down the line like a rocket.

"Oh boy," said Edward, "I know where this is going."
