Jeff Tracy and his man servant, Kyrano, had been taking shelter under the many palm trees for protection from the scorching midday sun. They were awaiting the arrival of the most stunning English beauty; Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward.

He watched as her mini jet approached the island, 'Why pink?' Jeff thought to himself. 'When John and Alan had picked red for Thunderbird 3 I thought it was pushing it!' he let out a deep chuckle as he remembered, then stopped abruptly as he noticed Kyrano giving him a concerned look. This was the last thing he needed as it was only a couple of weeks ago that Kyrano had spoken to him about how worried he was about all the stresses and strains that Jeff was going though, not only running his own business but also having a big family that went out on dangerous missions day in day out. Kyrano had tried to get him to do some yoga and to drink some green tea to relax him, which if Jeff was honest, absolutely useless. He couldn't swallow the tea as his body wouldn't allow him to and as for the yoga, well, less said about that the better.

"H'am h'i clear for landing, Mr Tracy?" Parkers voice sounded over the walkie talkie that Jeff had been holding.

"All clear, Parker," Jeff said still looking at Kyrano, then turned to watch Parker effortlessly land the plane. Parker jumped out of the cockpit, acknowledging Jeff with a quick nod of the head before opening the passenger door to allow Lady Penelope to graciously make her exit from her seat and onto the huge runway.

"Hey Penny, it's great to see you again!" Jeff greeted her with open arms, as he embraced her, he deeply inhaled her fragrance.

"Jeff, it's been too long," she said gently once they had pulled away from each other.

"Come on up to the house, the boys are really looking forward to seeing you," he said smiling at her.

As she climbed the stairs up to the villa behind Jeff, there was a faint smell of Mrs Tracy's chocolate brownies that got stronger as they reached the top of the stairs. 'Grandma sure can cook' she thought to herself.

She was so deep in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed that they had reached the top of the steps where the Tracy Villa stood and didn't notice a figure bounding towards her she let out a small cry as he started to lift her off the ground in a big hug.

"Gordon!" she exclaimed.

"See," Gordon shouted back to Scott, "told you I could lift her!,"

"It's good to see you Lady Penelope!" Gordon said excitedly.

"I must apologise for him, he's had coffee," Scott was coming towards her with his arms open ready to give her a hug and she returned the hug.

"Hey! Don't I get a hug Lady P?" Virgil looking rather disappointed as her walked over to her, she opened her arms and smiled.

"Of course!" he to inhaled her fragrance, he had often fantasised about being with her. When he was in his room all alone on this god forsaken Island with only males, his brothers girlfriend Tin-Tin and his grandma as company didn't really satisfy his urge for women.

Just then Alan's portrait started flashing on the wall...

"Come in Alan," Jeff said almost disappointed that the cuddles she was dishing out to his sons wouldn't reach him again.

"Father there's earthquake in Madagascar, people are trapped,"

"Okay Alan, tell them we are on our way!" He looked over at his 3 sons stood in the lounge. "Scott you take Thunderbird 1, Alan will brief you when you're airborne,"

"Yes Sir!" Scott said heading towards the rotating wall.

"Virgil, you take Gordon as extra help," he watched and sighed as his sons set off.

He turned to Penny "Sorry Penny, duty calls. You have had a long journey, Kyrano will show you to your room," he smiled and returned to his desk.

A short time later once she was showered and had a fresh set of clothes on, she found herself walking down the corridor from her room to the kitchen, following the scent of those scrummy chocolate brownies.

Upon entering the kitchen the smell was over powering.

"Hello….Grandma….?" She called out looking around the kitchen. No reply.

'O well, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I had just one, I am a guest after all' she thought to herself. As she reached out for one and pushed it very un-lady like into her mouth. She stopped mid shove when a deep voice from behind stopped her.

"What are you doing?" he said. She swirled around to see John casually leaning against the door frame with an amused look on his face.

There stood in front of him was one of England's most beautiful, professional women with a deer caught in headlights look on her face with chocolate all around her mouth. She heaved a deep sigh of relief when she saw who it was. She straightened herself trying to wipe away any evidence of what she had just done from around her mouth, unintentionally making it worse as there was still chocolate on her hands.

John let out a deep chuckle. "Tut tut, Grandma is not going to be pleased with you" he said pushing himself off the door frame walking into the room and over to the fridge and grabbed himself a carton of juice he opened it and took a swig from it.

"Well hello to you to John," she said sarcastically.

"Hey Penny, sorry just saying it how it is, she wasn't happy that she had to chase Scott out of here earlier!" smiling he added "So how's England?" Taking another swig of his juice.

"I haven't really seen much of it lately; your father has sent me here there and everywhere lately, hence this holiday…." She trailed off eyeing him up and down biting down on her lip.

"You know, every time you bite on your lip like that it means you want something," he said leaning forward whispering in her ear, his hot breath made her shiver slightly, but she tried to hide it as he could obviously read her like a book.

Grinning cheekily at her he set his drink down on the counter next to him. He went to the cupboard and grabbed a towel which he moistened under the tap, he then walked back over to her gently sponging the chocolate off her face.

"There you go, good as new" he said as he stood back to admire his work. She was used to being looked at but not by someone quiet as handsome as him. With his platinum coloured hair, athletic build and solid body which was rippling through his t-shirt. His blue eyes softly watching her and those gorgeous high cheek bones and slight dimples when he smiled always made her want to melt right into him.

She hadn't noticed that he had moved closer to her giving her a warm smile looking into her blue eyes and leaning in close with the intention of kissing those gorgeous pouty lips of hers….

"I am missing a brownie!" Both were startled apart by Mrs Tracy walking in "Oh! Penelope dear how lovely to see you!" She noticed how quickly they pulled apart now wishing she hadn't entered the kitchen as abruptly as she did. After all she knew that she wasn't getting any younger and certainly wanted to see her grandsons marry and have a couple of great grandchildren before her time was up.

"John, which of your brothers has had my brownie?" Penelope at this time was standing behind Mrs Tracy.

John put his hands up in defence and started to shake his head, then glanced over to where Penelope was her eyes pleading with him, not to tell on her. He let his arms fall to his side and hung his head.

"I ate it Grandma, I'm Sorry," afraid to make eye contact with his Grandma still looking at the floor.

"Right young man, come with me as I have some jobs that need doing" Mrs Tracy pulled her grandson by his arm off to do chores. He looked back over at Penelope who mouthed the words 'Thank you' he mouthed the words 'You owe me' back to her.
