It was a simple mission, rescuing people lost at sea, I don't know why Virgil decided to race me back, he was being stupid, I'm not sure Thunderbird 1 can keep up with his speeds due to the new modifications that Brains installed on Thunderbird 2.

"Let's do this sh*t!" Virgil yelled wildly over the intercom.

"Virgil, stop f*cking about" I demanded.

"Nah, last one back has to hand wash Alan's underwear and you know how much he sh*ts his pants on missions" Virgil cackled.

"Fine baby brother, it's on" I had to beat him for the sheer embarrassment that he'll feel from washing Alan's boxers.

I yanked the throttle control backwards and this sent Thunderbird 1 rocketing through the sky, I had beaten Virgil by a fraction of a centimetre, I knew that I could beat him.

"F*ck you Scott" Virgil snarled as soon as he saw me smiling smugly "I was just holding back, I let you win" I had damaged his ego.

I walked away from him to get changed into my normal clothes, reading was my only hobby to be honest, I really don't have time for anything else, I blindly grabbed a book from my bookshelf and I walked outside to sit on the sun lounger, these old things were the victims of Thunderbird 1's thrusters, Gordon was completing his daily ritual of swimming laps in the pool, it was fun to see him come up for air every so often, I finished my book, I went to put it back, when I returned outside I felt a wet hand on my ankle, that hand then dragged me into the pool.

"Gordon, I'm going to f*cking kill you" I spoke as much as I could before the water entered my mouth causing me to gag and splutter.

"You should of seen your face, it was priceless" Gordon burst into a fit of laughter.

I struggled to get out of the pool, I don't have upper body strength like Gordon does, my clothes were soaked, I had to get changed, maybe I should join Gordon in the pool, I took off my soaking clothes and I put my swimming trunks on, I ran outside and I jumped into the pool, this splashed Gordon a tad and he splashed me back, I splashed him back ten times harder, however I was unaware that Alan was sleeping at the side of the pool, well let's just say about 90% of the water ended up on him, he rose from his seat slowly and he took his sunglasses off, he didn't look very happy, Gordon pointed at me as if he was saying it was my fault, which it really was, Alan threw his sunglasses to the ground and he dove into the pool, he may be little but he knows how to cause a massive tidal wave when he has to.

*Virgil's POV*

"The thing is Virgil, my niece hardly cares for her own safety anymore, I'm not trying to f-force a relationship I just want you to look out for her, as s-she's training to be your new co-pilot" Brains explained stuttering like usual.

"Sure I'll try my best, when is she arriving" I had to ask.

"Tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest" Brains replied.

"Ok, if you need me I have a date with the piano" I sighed, I walked down the stairs slowly towards the piano, I had to look after a 17 year old...great, and once the guys find out she's a girl they'll kill me, I started hitting random keys because I was so frustrated, I hate myself for being so cold, I can't let her into my life otherwise she'll see how reckless I truly am
