Summary[]
Tibbie’s habit of being indecisive has begun to cause problems both inside and outside of the Magic Train. She, as well as the other goats, are shocked when Slowy chooses her to be the head train in the place of Weslie (whose Thunderbolt requires maintenance). Despite Tibbie’s anxiety, Slowy reassures her that she can succeed.
Later, the Magic Train—with Tibbie driving—continues its way to the Big Tree’s Summit. The path up ahead is blocked by spiderwebs, and to make things worse, Wolffy comes charging down an intersecting path with Sirius. Sparky says to use Lightning Angel’s mechanical arm to cut down the spiderweb, but Weslie says to use the diamond drill instead. Tibbie is unable to make a decision and does not act. Luckily, Slowy emergency brakes the train before it can go any further, causing a stunned Wolffy to fall off the road.
After Slowy explains that he is in control of emergency braking, the other goats decide to team up to help Tibbie resolve her indecision. Jonie, when asked for which path to take, encourages Tibbie to memorize a map, but Tibbie finds it too tedious. Paddi then sets up a poll and asks the nearby insects to vote for which path to take; after many hours have passed, it turns out to be a tie.
Tibbie, discouraged, is about to go to Slowy to quit her position as the head train. However, she overhears her friends lamenting that they were not able to help her. Realizing that her friends truly care about her and want her to improve, she decides to work harder on resolving her indecisiveness.
Later, Tibbie devises her own way of decision making, which is by picking petals from fallen blossoms. It works well for the day—until she runs out right when Wolffy ambushes the goats again. She can’t decide which path to take, so she drills her way into the middle branch and climbs up from there. Although she successfully evades Wolffy, she soon drills out of the other end of the branch. Unable to escape Lightning Angel before the branch begins to collapse, she sacrifices herself and disconnects her train from the others. However, Slowy activates the train parachute, saving her.
That evening, Tibbie’s indecisiveness strikes yet again when she wants to thank everybody for their help but cannot decide what to make for dinner. She ends up making every dish that she knows, much to the shock of her friends.
