Chapter 1

She found herself outside Gordon's room smiling sadly to herself, soon it would be over. Placing a hand on the door Cate Creighton-ward sighed. Summer had come and almost gone.

She would be leaving the island and returning to England tomorrow morning where it was cold and bitter, returning back to her normal boring life with her normal boring friends with no idea when she would see him again.

On the other side of the door Gordon laid on his bed, his world had already started to shatter. The one girl that made him happy was going, if only he could make her stay with him forever. He was trying to fight back the tears that were stinging the inside of his eyelids, he rolled over and began to cry into the pillow. When the last tear fell from his cheek Gordon looked up

at the night sky he had never seen the moon so bright.

Lady Penlope had arrived early the next morning, Parker finished storing the bags into FAB 1 after breakfast. Cate had gone to find Gordon to say goodbye. As she entered his room he came out of the bathroom in a towel wrapped tight around his waist, droplettes of water ran down his face. Gordon grabbed a small box off the desk and handed Cate. It was covered in emerald green velvet with a black piece of ribbon wrapped around it, she became speechless when she opened it, inside the box was a moonstone pendant in the shape of a star it was unsual because instead of a silver chain it had a brown hessian thong Cate had seen it during a trip to the mainland "Its beautiful" she said running her fingers over the stone "Well not as beautiful as you though" Gordon said as he took the necklace and placed it round her neck. She became enraptured as he ran his fingers down her neck and along her shoulders.

Turning back to face him Cate's hand slid into his and within seconds their lips met for the last time that summer. Cate pulled away and looked deep into his brown eyes, smiling she finally said "So I'll see you around sometime." The tears began to fall down Gordon's cheeks once again but he wipped them away quickly.

"I love you" he said

"I know" Cate replied with a slight smile then kissing him once more "Thanks for the necklace" she said finally leaving the room.

As FAB 1 left the island Cate stared out the window still wishing he was touching her. She never realised how crazy she was about him. She regretted leaving but she had to. Cate had some fond memories and she couldn't help but smile as she remembered Scott barging in whilst they were having sex "Is there something your not telling me Gord" Scott said his eyes widened in shock as he looked around at the discarded clothes on the floor "I had really bad leg cramp so Cate was helping me" Gordon smiled at his brother "Hi Cate" Scott blushed trying to divert hiseyes elsewhere as Cate lay beneath Gordon with her arms resting above her head, Cate smiled "Hi um he had really bad leg cramp terrible infact" Cate said suddenly "Is there something you want?" Gordon said coolly "Oh no it's not really...erm that important...I erm gotta go...erm bye" Scott said nervously as he quickly walked out the room closing the door behind him Gordon turned back to Cate grinning wickedly "Now where were we" he said as he pulled the sheets over.

"Cate, Cate" came the distant voice of Lady Penelope "Cate we're home." Penelope's cousin pulled herself back to reality "Oh er sorry" Cate said as she got out the car and looked up at the country manor where she lived. "Home" she sighed then followed Lady Penelope and Parker up the steps. As she followed she watched as a very flushed looking Parker struggled with the lauggage "you need a hand there?" She asked raising an eyebrow ."No, no I'm fine you go ahead I will be with you in a moment" he replied.

Gordon sat alone in his room. The sun was sinking on the horizon and the sky was ever changing from a light blue to orangey pink to finally dark blue. He continued to sit, quietly, not wanting to move. Time seemed to stand still. God he missed her.

Jeff began to worry about his son. Sighing at the paperwork that covered the desk, he pushed his chair back got up and left his office. He went upstairs to find out if there was anything he could do.He knocked on the door, no answer came. Knocking a second time a faint "What?" came from the other side. Jeff opened the door and walked over to the bed, looking at Gordon he sat down in silence for a few moments.

"How you doing son?" Jeff asked placing an arm round Gordon's shoulders

"I miss her so much" he said as he began to cry uncontrollably his body shook. Watching his son Jeff cried also, he hated seeing one of his sons like this but somehow it felt good to cry once in a while. Gordon was relieved to have his dad there. He thought it was funny that he had never seen his dad cry. Jeff thought it was a sissy thing after all they were International Rescue the couragous Tracy family, "Tracy's never cry. We give our lives to save others, we have to be strong

not only for them but for each other" Jeff told his sons shortly before their first rescue. Gordon stood up and walked over to the window. Slowly turning around he smiled at his father "Thanks dad for that if it had been Scott he would have just told me to get over it" he said Jeff just sat and smiled knowing what Gordon had just mentioned would be the typical thing Scott would say.

Jeff stood up and pulled his son into a hug "No problem son so how about we get ourselves some icecream if your brothers haven't raided the freezer" Jeff asked. All Gordon could do was smile. "Yeah ok" he replied as they left the room. It was true they had raided the freezer leaving only a few tubs of Ben and Jerry's. They stood looking at them when an idea came to Gordon "You ever tried mixing all the icecream you have into one bowl?" digging his hands deep into the pockets of his cargo shorts he just grinned at his dad

"No..wh..whats it like?" Jeff hesitated.

"I dunno" Gordon shrugged as he chuckled picking up a couple of tubs looking at them, "wanna give it a try?"

"Only you could think of something like that...so yeah why not" Jeff shrugged taking as many tubs as he could carry, then walking outside he headed towards a group of chairs on the far side of the pool Gordon fell behind to grab a couple of spoons and bowls before joining his father outside. Handing both bowls and spoons to his father he dropped into the nearest chair. Leaning back he placed his hands behind his head, taking in the scents of Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine that filled the warm night air. The moon reflected off the ocean in the distance and the only light came from the kitchen. Both father and son sat talking, laughing and joking into the early hours of the morning bringing up Cates name brought a sort of pained expression to Gordons face "You really do love her don't you?" Jeff asked as he leaned across the table "I really do dad, I really do" Gordon replied. Jeff lent back just as he was about to say something the alarm went off signalling them that someone somewhere needed to be rescued Gordon lifted his head before racing back inside to join his brothers.
