Title: Fish
Full Summary: After the death of Jared, Annabelle along with daughter, Marina, returns to Tracy Island to take her place as a Thunderbird. Marina is an oddball. She has never fit in anywhere, and as a 5 year old is worried she won't fit in on the Island either. But then maybe she'll take to it, like a fish to water.
Disclaimer: I do not own Thunderbirds, never will.
A/N: NO FLAMES! Not accepted.
2nd A/N: This is a follow on from 'Uncle Tracy' it got such a good response, that I thought I would try a sequel. This is trial and error.
Prologue
When Tracy One slowly taxied along the runway, Annabelle felt a sense of calm rush over her. She was home. Her gaze fell to her daughter, Marina. Marina had been playing a game on the newest handheld console while they flew and now she'd put it away and had fallen asleep. Annabelle got up as the plane stopped and shook her daughter gently.
"Rina, honey wake up." Annabelle said softly, Marina opened her eyes and yawned.
"Are we there?" She asked, Annabelle nodded.
"Welcome to Tracy Island, kiddo." She said; Marina followed her mother as they gathered their bags and with the help of Uncle Scott, who had magically appeared as soon as the plane landed, they unloaded everything they had packed.
"So this is Marina is it? Goodness she's all grown up!" Scott said as he gripped his grandniece under her arms and lifted her up above his head. Marina squealed and laughed as he easily tossed her skywards. Scott had done it to Annabelle when she was 5 and she'd squealed just the same. Annabelle smiled as Scott put her daughter down and picked up some of the luggage, Marina grabbed hold of her suitcase and together the three of them were able to make it up in one trip. The two didn't need much. Once they had shifted the bags to Annabelle's old room where they would spend the first few nights. Alan and Gordon, the girls were told, were at work setting up the guest room for Annabelle. Annabelle sighed and took a deep breath as she closed her eyes.
"Good to be back home then?" Scott said as he leant against the doorframe of the room.
"It feels better than good, Uncle Scott. It's fantastic. I'm finally home where I should be." She said giving her Uncle a hug. Finally it would all fall into place for them. They would be safe and protected.
"Where's Uncle Virgil at?" Annabelle asked as they sat down to lunch the next day, "he wasn't in the welcoming party and he'd be back by now if he was on a rescue." Scott glanced at his father and Jeff nodded.
"Virgil was hurt on the last rescue he was on. He's having to stay in the infirmary. He wants to see you and Marina, but you've been getting back into the swing of things and we just kept on forgetting." He said.
"Hurt?" It was Marina who spoke up.
"That's right Fish." Gordon said from beside her, "He's not too bad though. Just needs some rest." He winked at her and smiled, causing Marina to giggle.
"Maybe after lunch has gone down some Rina cane have some more swimming lessons." Annabelle said planning on seeing her favourite Uncle after lunch as long as he daughter was occupied. Both Marina and Gordon agreed that it was a good idea. Swimming lesson were a good way of relaxing. Annabelle had to get her daughter settled. This was the perfect way to do it.
Chapter one is on it's way. This is on trial, if no one likes it, I'll take it down.
