Hey, i don't own the thunderbirds, as much as i would have liked too. However, i do own Hadrian, Benny, Blanche, Christian, Jasper and Zacharias.
Thanks!
Alan Tracy stood next to his best friend, Fermat Hackenbacker on the front steps of his boarding school, Wharton Academy. It was the first day back after the events of the Spring Break. On just the second day back from school, it all happened. His family was all heroes, known as International Rescue, or more commonly, the Thunderbirds after the amazing ships that his four brothers and father flew to save people. Fermat's father was the 'Brains' behind the operation, creating and monitoring all of them.
Over the break, Alan and Fermat became Thunderbirds and began training in all of the 'birds. So far, Alan's favorites were thunderbirds 1 and 3. Both were faster than the other three, thus Alan's liking. Alan was a speed junkie. He wanted to go race car driving when he was old enough, but did not think that his father would agree. Speaking of his father, Jeff Tracy himself had come to see the boys to school.
"Now, you two be careful. And Alan, I don't want any phone calls this term. We are going to be busy enough rebuilding thunderbird 5. I don't need to worry about finding you another school again. Agreed?" Jeff asked his son.
"Okay Dad. I'll try to stay clean. Thanks for seeing us to school. We'll go and dump our stuff, then will come back to say goodbye." Alan replied, indicating to the dormitory they were standing in front of. It was off to the left of the quadrangle, with the science and mathematics building on either side. It was five stories high and was the oldest one on campus. Alan's room was a double with Fermat on the third floor on the opposite side of the stairs and escalator. Opening the door and looking around they saw that it was just as they had left it. It had two beds up against the left wall, with the right wall covered by a huge pine table that had been specially ordered by Jeff Tracy so that the boys could work. There was a door to a small ensuite in between the two beds with a shower, toilet and sink.
"Not t.. t..that bad." Fermat stuttered as he went to his bed to put down his stuff. "I thought that they would change everything around while we were gone" he said.
"Yeah" Alan agreed as he dumped his bad on his own bed. "Well, we'd better go and say goodbye to my Dad" Fermat nodded and followed Alan out. Jeff was where they left him in front of the building. Alan stood forward into his hug and returned his embrace. "Thanks Dad. Take care, and tell those brothers of mine that they'd better all be there when I get back."
"I will. Call anytime you need to talk. You too Fermat. Have a good time" Jeff said before he walked out and to his car, before driving away to the airport not far away.
Fermat and Alan watched until the car had disappeared from sight before going back up to their dorm. AS they got off the elevator, they saw the two boys that stayed on the left side of them standing outside their door.
"Hadrian, Benny" Alan said as they came up to them.
"Alan, Fermat. What took you so long to get here?" Hadrian Starr asked. Hadrian was a tall black haired boy that was on the track team with Alan. He turned his brown eyes to Fermat, before ruffling his hair.
"Leave the kid alone Hadrian" Benny told him. Benny's real name was Benito Brunner. He was short, and had bright red hair with green eyes. To fill the cliché, he also had heaps of freckles on his nose. He and Hadrian had only met the year before when they were put in the same dorm. He immediately befriended Alan and Fermat when they came to the school just a term later.
"My Dad came to school to make sure we actually got here. When did you guys get here?" Alan asked.
"About two hours ago. My parent swung by Hadrian's to pick him up. His parents are in Hawaii at the moment. Don't some people just have all the luck" Benny replied.
"Hey Benny, you forget that we live on a tropical island. We're used to that type of life. And we love it. But why aren't you in Hawaii, Hadrian?" Alan asked as Fermat slipped into the room.
"Cause I couldn't miss any school. Anyway, it about time we unpacked before dinner. It is only in an hour before dinnertime. Meet you at 7?"
"Sure."
At seven, Alan, Fermat, Hadrian and Benny went into the dining room to eat. They were joined at their table by their other friends. Blanche Norsca was the second biggest geek of the group behind Fermat. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His twin brother, Zacharias looked exactly the same except for the fact that his left eye had a streak of blue through it. Zack was almost as smart as his brother. The third member of the group was Christian Danes. Christian had blond hair and bright green eyes. He was what every woman desired in one neat package, also being on the gymnastics team. The last member of the group was Jasper Nicodemus. Jasper was a third generation Japanese, and had black hair and brown eyes so dark, that they were almost black. He was also on the gymnastics team with Christian.
"So, how were everyone's breaks?" Blanche asked once they had greeted each other.
"Boring" Christian replied.
"I went to London with my parent's." Jasper said. "I saw the Thunderbirds in jubilee gardens. There were three kids that flew them. It would have been so cool to be them."
"Really? Blanche and I just went with our parents to the farm. Nothing as cool as yours obviously" Zack said, excited. "What about you Alan?"
"Fermat and I just hung around the island with our families" Alan relied before Fermat butted in.
"And Alan got a girlfriend" That caught their friend's attention.
"Keep going Fermat" Hadrian said.
"T…The girl that we l... l… stay with. She and Alan started d…d… seeing each other. Her name is Tin Tin"
"TinTin, that's a strange name. What does she look like?" Benny asked Alan.
"Guy's its still pretty new. Can we not talk about it?"
"Okay. Well, I just stayed at home, occasionally hanging out with Hadrian. Nothing interesting." Benny said as a loud noise rang though the hall. "Is it bed time already?"
"I guess. See you tomorrow" the twins replied at the same times before moving out of the hall. Christian and Jasper both nodded at the four still sitting before following Blanche and Zack. Hadrian and Benny stood up first and waited for Alan and Fermat to follow as they went to their dorms for the night.
Three weeks later
Alan and Hadrian were running around the track trying to beat their own four hundred records when they were called over by the coach, Coach Pential. Looking at each other, they made their way over to him.
"You called coach?" Alan asked.
"Yes Alan. I want you two to take a few days off training. It's beginning to affect your studies and I can't let that happen. Go and shower, then go to your dorms and study. Thanks, that's all" With that, he walked off.
"Great" Hadrian groaned as he got his drink bottle from the ground. "Just what we want"
"Tell me about it. Oh well, what we can do" Alan replied, following his friend into the showers. "We may as well get this done" With that the two boys had their showers and once dressed, made their way over to their dorms to study with their respective room mates. They studied for the next three hours, before going to sleep.
A loud rumbling woke Alan up in a start. Looking around he saw Fermat also awake.
"Fermat what was that?" Alan asked. Before Fermat could reply, it came again, but louder. It also shook the building around them, throwing them from their beds. Fermat and Alan both realized what it was at the same time
"Earthquake!" They crawled their way over the doorway, and wrenched it open. Hadrian and Benny and also crawled into the doorway, as had most of the other students on their floor. Suddenly, another quake came.
"Look" A boy cried, pointing to a large crack that had appeared in the wall in front of them. It was spreading with incredible speed, also going into the ceiling. Alan and Fermat once again looked at each other before crying out.
"Quick, get under something fast! A table, anything!" Hadrian and Benny, along with four other boys that Alan couldn't remember the names of at that stage followed Alan and Fermat into their room. It was a well known fact that they had the largest and most sturdy table on the floor. It was a tight fit, but all eight of them fitted. They then watched in fright as the ceiling came down in front of them.
