After a year of space nasuea, floating around and quality time with John, Alan had to come back home. Launching from Tracy Island, Scott and Virgil flew in the new and improved Thunderbird 3. Alan gathered his belongings and waited at the cargo bay for T3. John stood there and wondered why, why is he so eager to get away from him? Is it because he respects John's private life up here and respects his privacy or is it the space nasuea talking? He floats over and grabs his brothers shoulders, wanting an answer.

John: "Why so eager? Do you hate T5?"

Alan: " -sighs- No it's not that. John, I spent an entire YEAR with you and I felt...connected to you again, but -sighs- I have to go back, back to IR, back the Tracy Island, back to the boys..."

John: "Back to Grandma's horrible cooking? Don't you want to back?"

Alan: " I'm happy to go back, but, I'll never see, a lot of you"

He stares at the red rocket, docking itself into the the space station. A sudden escape of gravity, with a touch of oxygen, revealed red doors swinging open, to welcome two boys. A tall 25 year old with tree brown hair and glistening blue eyes and an equivalent heighted, strong 23 year old coal haired brother stood behind these doors.

Alan: "Well, well, well. If it isn't Fast and Furious at the rescue?"

Virgil: "Shut Up, you! I had to travel millions of miles to get here an-

John: "Technically, it's 22,000 miles from earth"

Virgil: "Shut up John! I'm not in a good mood!"

Alan: "No duh, Sherlock!"

Scott: "Anyway, it's good to see you too, sprout"

The boys ran to each other and gave hugs, like they used to. Virgil grabbed the bags of Alan's stuff and heaved it into a dark room on board T3. As he did, Scott showed Alan T3, it's controls, design and all important purpose. They stayed like that for an hour, before it was time to farewell each other.

Alan: " Catch you later, Johnny!"

John: "You too, Allie!"

John watched the rocket turn into a toy, then into a shadow, a speck , a dot, then into nothingness. He sighed but then realised his genius plan. While Alan was up on T5 with him, he built what appeared to be a space elevator, able to transport him down to Tracy Island and back up, unaware to the youngest Tracy, it would save time and fuel. The 3 boys landed back down, Scott and Virgil walked perfectly to Alans room, while Alan kept falling over and moving like Peter Garret as if he was dancing. To go from Zero Gravity to Gravity can be harsh. Gordon welcomed his twin back into the household. He told of rescues, pranks and a major one coming soon. Virgil's birthday was next up and Gordon had a plan, but wasn't until another 5 months, he liked to plan early. He also told him about a convenient transportation between Tracy Island and T5. Scott and Virgil told him how John, planned it just for him.

Alan: "Why would John waste his time doing that? When does he have time?"

Virgil: "Firstly, he did it for you Alan, cause he loves you. Secondly, Kayo and John will rotate when he wants, quote on quote- HUMAN INTERACTION"

Alan: " When will he come down, is he coming down for a week?"

Scott: "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

The eldest gestured a hand to show Alan, that right behind him, his best friend stood there waiting for recognition. Alan stood there in shock, but filled with so much happiness, he ran and joined his tall brother in a big hug. It was only 9:30 at night, yet all brothers, even Gordon who stays up all night decided to go to sleep. It was a week since John joined them and things were like the old days. The rooms all perfectly aligned against each other facing the ocean and jungle surrounding them. Scott's room lied next to John's, who's bedroom collided with Alan's to stand next to Gordon's and join with Virgil's. All close together, in case of trouble, distress or in need of rescuing.

*ALAN'S NIGHTMARE*

The 5 boys were in a fight with none other than 'The Hood', but he had a couple of tricks up his sleeve. John + Alan were trying to handle 'The Hood' while Scott, Virgil + Gordon had cuts, bruises and a loss of strength. John tried wrestling the stronger man to the ground and grew weaker. Alan had run towards him to knock him down, but was forcefully pushed towards the cement wall causing him to lay on the ground and moan. John looked at Alan in shock and went to tend to him. He turned back to 'The Hood' and ran to punch him.

The Hood: " What's wrong? Did the baby hurt himself?!"

John: "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Before John's hand even entered his face, 'The Hood's' eyes changed into snake eyes, bright yellow slits with magical qualities. John tried to force his hand into attack but was forced to pick up a sharp blade, which edges dripped with death. John then placed the blade towards his torso, still trying to refuse, but he was weak. He couldn't do it, he wasn't strong. Alan woke up and saw the terror staged in front of him. Alan ran towards John, but was pulled back by the others, knowing what was about to happen.

Alan: "GUYS LET ME GO!"

Virgil: "Alan, STOP! It's hopeless!"

John looked towards the youngest brother, seeing Alan's face, filled with terror. John looked at the trio, saddened looks on their faces. He whispered words, probably his last. He released his refusing attitude and then the words hit the boys.

John: "I'm sorry Alan"

There was a spilt second where everything went silent. John did it, he stabbed himself in the chest/stomach. He fell on his knees, then fell on his side. The boys just stood there. Alan falling to his knees, still being held and his breath shortening. 'The Hood' ran off laughing, his silhouette growing smaller. The boys slowly let go of Alan as he ran over to John's slowly dying body. John looked up at Alan and smiled then he closed his eyes. Alan cried and tried to wake him up. Virgil placed his hand on Alan's shoulder as he bent over John's body. Scott and Gordon just looked at each other then at Virgil, then at Alan, then at John. Alan stood up and hugged Virgil tight, then the boys had a small group hug before all kneeling to the ground beside John.

Alan: "JOHN! DONT LEAVE ME!"

*END OF NIGHTMARE*

Alan: "JOHN! COME BACK"

2 brothers raced into the room, turning on the light, seeing only a paranoid young teenager. The boys panted, as they walked towards the bed, Scott sitting the closest to Alan. Alan had the same nightmare for a week now, he felt as if it really was going to happen.

Scott: "You had the nightmare again, didn't you?"

Gordon: "This really scares you, doesn't it? Try thinking of something else."

Alan: " I can't get rid of it, it's in my mind, it's permanent, squid boy!"

The other 2 boys entered with a humorous entrance. Since Alan's room is messy, the boys tend to trip over...sometimes...most of the time...all of the time.

Virgil: "What's with all th- WHOA!"

Virgil tripped over a volcano of Alan's clothes, books and papers. John then entered with a tired look. Virgil woke up and only had to say;

Virgil: " I hate gravity"

John: "Says you! First week I'm down here you people walk on me, cause I'm somehow allergic to gravity. I've haven't been down here all my life!"

Alan: "The last time you spent a week here on earth was 7 years ago BEFORE you left to space."

Virgil: " Why are we in here again?"

Gordon: " Oh no, Virgil's got amnesia"

Virgil: " No you idiot, I just forgot, why was Alan screaming?"

John: " You guys do not pay attention, do you?"

Gordon looks out onto the ocean, admiring its beauty, turns to the boys with smiles. Virgil looks at squid boy with confusing looks

Gordon: "I'm sorry what?"

Virgil: "Looks like squid boy lost his squid sense!"

Gordon: " Well I'm not the one that spends hours on my hair!"

- Virgil looks at Gordon in utter shock-

Virgil: "HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE BEST HAIR IN THE HOUSEHOLD!"

Gordon: "I'm sorry! I never knew you were such an emotional person"

Virgil: " I told you before, I'm not emotional! I'm tough and strong!"

Gordon: "Like I said before, you're an emotional gorilla!"

Virgil: "Once again: That's it!"

-Fighting starts between the 2-

John, Alan and Scott just looked the 2 with wondering looks and then went back to resolving Alan's nightmare. Alan felt safe around his brothers, and the 4 never left Alan alone. On one occasion, Alan fell critically ill, he tried to tell his brothers, but they were way to busy searching for their father and didn't know until Alan collapsed in front of their eyes. From that day on the boys vowed to put their brothers first before rescues and searching for their father. When they were little, all of the boys used to bunk on just on one double bed, so they were pretty close and always provided comfort to each other. The hair gel twins, Gordon and Virgil finally concluded their little battle and faced the pale, blonde boy.

Virgil: "So Alan, what do YOU want to do about this?"

John: "I think we ALL know the obvious answer"

Two hours after the awaking of the tired young boy, the 5 sprawled out onto just one bed. Alan in the middle surrounded by his 2 eldest brothers creating a cocoon, while the second youngest brother laid across Alan's legs and Virgil...he was balled up at the front of the bed head, creating the Tracy Trapezoid. Oh the brotherly love. They woke up at the sound of menichal laughter, running to the lounge to see, an old...how should I say...enemy? It was 'The Hood', but not in person, in a holographic figure, his face masked and holding a device. The brothers stared at him, waiting for impact. It was probably a bomb.

The Hood: " Goodbye IR and Goodbye Tracy's"

A bright light, filled the room, causing the boys to fall down and be unconscious. They weren't aware of the fact that they were transported into a parallel universe, similar to theirs...sort of. The 5 brothers awoke and thought they were in a nightmare, one in which is impossible to get out off. They stood there in a line facing 5 other people; girls. They looked at each other with shock. After 3 seconds of facing their doubles, the boys screamed and the girls just stood their with confused looks. The room finally went silent.

Girl #1: "Who are you boys?"

Gordon: " I think we are the boy versions of you"

Alan: " We have really got to go on more vacations, I think I'm loosing my mind."

Scott: " I'm not so sure"

Virgil: " Yeah...Scott maybe you... should inspect them...you know...look at them...because..."

Scott: "Because I'm the eldest"

Virgil: " No because you are great at talking to wom...OF COURSE I MEAN YOUR THE ELDEST, YOUR SENSE OF TALKING TO WOMEN IS HOPELESS!"

Scott then walked over to the line of girls and asked each of the girls their name, veichle and age. Their results were:

Scarlett- Age 25- Thunderbird 1 Alana- Age 17- Thunderbird 3

Vanessa- Age 23 - Thunderbird 2 Jordon- Age 21- Thunderbird 4

Jane- Age 24- Thunderbird 5

He then looked at their clothing, roughly resembling the boys uniforms and casual clothing. He looked at the front and back of the girls, although the group wasn't expecting this. Scott stopped and looked at Scarlett, then looked behind her, he only had this to say:

Scott: "Daaaaamn"

Scarlett: "What!?"

Scott: "Girl...you got a bright future behind you"

Scarlett: "Are you commenting on my ASS!?"

The room went absolutely silent, the boys looked at each other with widened eyes and jaws dropped, with a simple laugh. The girls were shocked and looked at the boys with surprised looks.

Scott: "What?! No...I...I.."

Scarlett: " YOU PERV!"

Scott: "No...I wasn't looking at your ass...I...I...I...can barley notice it...its...large...no...you are large..."

Scarlett: "ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!"

The boys were just laughing their heads off.

Scott: "No... it's small, you can barely notice it...its so small you need a microscope to look at it"

Scarlett: "YOU SON OF A..."

Scott: "WAIT! You are pretty! You're beautiful! Your ass is normal, it's LARGE!"

Scarlett: " You know what...YOUR MOUTH IS AS BIG AS MY ASS!"

Scarlett aimed at Scott to punch him but she was stopped by Jane and Jordon.

Jane: " SCARLETT! STOP!"

Jordon: "He's not worth it"

Scarlett: " -sighs-You're right"

She faces Scott and looks at him and helps him up. She then picks him up by his collar and aims at his face and simply says:

Scarlett: "If you touch, talk about or even look at my ass, I will hurt you."

Alan: " Damn she is feisty."

John: "How is Scott taking this seriously, he can't handle it"

Gordon: " I can't take this seriously! I can't handle it!"

Virgil: " You and me both, brother"

She walks away before she stops and punches Scott in the face as he drops to the ground. He slightly wakes up and says:

Scott: " Damn, she's a hitter and her ass is even bigger!"

He falls back down on his back and falls unconscious. The boys look around and looks down at Scott. The boys had only one thing to say.

Virgil: " No way I'm carrying him"

Alan: " Did he party hard last night"

John: "Yeah I think he had a bit to much alcohol"

Gordon: "No he was just being the stupid idiot he is daily!"

Virgil, Alan, John: "Yeah, true."
