After Party

"Whoa, when did you learn to throw like that Jonny-boy?" Scott yelled at his younger brother, while reaching for the flying beach ball.

"Being in space, I've got plenty of time for practise, and besides, Gordy's in the pool to long for you too even get a chance with a beach ball." He threw a look at his other brother and received an annoyed glare from the fish.

"HEY, I resent that, I only spend 20 hours on average in the pool a day." They all laughed at Gordon's remark, before he joined in with the laughing too.

"Boy's dinner's up!" their father called from the barbecue. All the boys jumped out of the pool in such a hurry, and then knocked the youngest one back in again. Alan resurfaced and gave all his brothers threatening looks.

"Yeesh, I go and save all your lives and this is the thanks I get!" he put on a fake pout and all the brothers laughed at him, as did Jeff and all the other island Inhabitants. Scott lent him a hand.

"Hey just be glad that you were already wet." Alan smiled at his other brother and was tempted to pull him in as he grabbed his hand, but was too tired to even bother, he'd save that for Gordy in the morning. He chuckled at the thought as Scot pulled him out of the pool. He was about to dig into some grub when his dad called him over. Man, I'm never gonna get something to eat tonight He thought as he trotted over to his father. Jeff put a hand over his shoulder,

"Alan, there was an earthquake in the state of Ohio a few hours ago, and, they need some assistance." Alan eyes fell to the floor as he realised what his father needed him for.

"So, I…err… I guess you'll be going then." He said rather solemnly, Jeff smiled and picked up Alan's chin to face him. Alan caught a suspicious smile on his dad's face. What's he up to he thought.

"No." Alan stared at him in disbelief, he was going to forget about a mission, normally he would have taken up the opportunity at actually getting to spend more time with his father, but he knew that the world needed thunderbirds, especially if there were more villains like the hood out there. Jeff looked at him and smiled again "Nope, I'm not going…" he paused and saw his other 4 sons coming up behind Alan with smiles on their faces he looked at Alan once more. "You are!" Alan stared at him in disbelief then turned to his 4 older brothers.

"A…Are you guys serious, this isn't just a joke or anything, Gordon didn't put you up to this did he?" eying his water loving older brother, who stuck his arms out innocently

"Hey why'd ya always blame stuff on me Sprout, and besides, this is definitely for real." He smirked at Alan.

"Yeah, after all that had happened today, we finally realised how much you were serious about being a thunderbird." Scott said walking up to him "And how maturely and like an adult you took it, God where has the little guy that I literally read bedtime stories too gone?" He said ruffling Alan's hair. Alan gave his brother a hug.

"Oh God…Scott, you guys don't know how much I've wanted to be on a mission with you guys. Thanks so much." Alan felt like he wanted to cry out in happiness but decided against it considering the whole of Tracy Island was watching him in his moment of happiness. He felt like the happiest boy alive at this moment
