The inspiration for this story goes to a wonderful author named criminally charmed who a great Thunderbirds writer. You should check out her stories.
Chapter 2
John headed back to the main villa to see if he could convince his father to let Allie come with him for training up on TB5. Heavens knows his baby sister needed to feel like she was a part of The Thunderbirds and maybe helping him on 5 would be great.
Scott looked up from the book he was reading to see the oldest of his blond brothers enter the room and head straight for their father's office.
That was weird. Scott thought as he watch his closest brother in age walk right by him with out saying hi to him and the others.
The other Tracy boys noticed the same thing and decided to follow their blond brother.
John reached his father office and knocked on the door. Even though his father always said that he and his siblings could always come in when ever they wanted to it was just common curtsey to knock before entering an office.
John heard a muffled 'come in' before he opened the door. When the second oldest of the Tracy siblings walked in he saw his father leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
"Hey dad can I ask you a question?" John asked.
"Sure son what is it?" Jeff Tracy replied to his only blond son.
"I was wondering if it would be okay if I took Allie up on TB5 for a few weeks since it is summer break and give her some training seeing as she hasn't really been up in 5 at all. I mean she has training for all the other Birds but not 5 and plus it will give some time for us to have some sibling bonding time as I rarely see her when she's home." John asked knowing that he was going to be in for a fight to get his father to let Allie up in space. Heck his father was scared to even let him back up in space after The Hood attack.
"I don't know son. Your sister hasn't really been trained for entry into space and reentry." Jeff told his son.
"All the more reason for Allie to join me on 5 that way she will get the training she needs." John told his father. He had to convince his father or he and his brothers may lose their baby sister. He knew that he had to play the last card. "Dad I found Allie cleaning the Thunderbirds by herself and it looked like she had been doing that for a while."
Jeff's eyes went wide. His only daughter did that when she was feeling upset or depressed witch was quiet often as of late. Now the father of five really knew that there was something wrong with his youngest.
"Talk to me John."
"Dad, Allie told me that she feels like that you don't really want her to be a part of IR with the way you and the others treat her on missions. She told that you give Tin-Tin more missions on the field than you do her. I think she feels that you don't trust her yet or something." John told his father what his sister had told him.
"I never realize that." Jeff told his second oldest. He really had no idea that he was doing that to his daughter. Allison was a spitting image of his late wife but not in just looks but personally as well. The head of the Tracy family was so scared to lose his last link to Lucy that if he didn't start letting Allie have more freedom on missions than he would really lose his daughter.
"Also she feels that her brothers are giving her the respect she needs and that they only see her as their little sister. Don't get me wrong dad she knows how much we all love her but they need to back off a little bit and let her find out who she is on The Thunderbirds. She also feels that you don't trust her at all."
Jeff looked at his son and let out a small sigh. "You're right John. Perhaps I have been a little to protective of Allie but like you said your brothers are doing the same thing. Aren't you boys." Jeff said as he looked at his door and pressed a switched on the desk in front of him causing the door to open and revealing the other three Tracy men.
"Gordon get your foot out of my face." Virgil yelled at his only youngest brother.
"I will as soon as Scott gets his big butt off of me." The Red headed Tracy yelled back.
"Well Virgil needs to move his feet so I can actually move with out hurting anyone." The oldest Tracy sibling pointed out.
John just gave a sigh and went over to help his brothers untangle themselves from each other. Once that was done John went back to talk to his father knowing that his brothers had heard everything.
Scott was the first to speak being that he helped raise his brothers and sister when their mother died and he was a mother hen. "Dad is it true that Allie feels like we don't trust her?" The oldest asked his father shocked that his baby sister thought that he didn't trust her.
"I'm afraid so Scott. We've been so busy that we haven't really paid much attention to Allie to see that she is hurting." Jeff told his first born.
"So you think by taking her up to TB5 she'll feel like she's a Thunderbird?" Virgil asked. He loved his little sister to death. Maybe he was being to protective of her.
"Boys think about it. John is the only one that didn't treat her like she was a piece of glass and you boys know how close she is to John so it only makes sense that John take her up to 5 and give her the training she really wants at least that will give us some time to find a way to get Allie to forgive us for the way we been treating her." Jeff told his sons who held their heads down. He knew that his sons felt guilty for ignoring their sister and making her feel like she was not a Thunderbird.
"How about I have Allie check in with you and the guys every day. Would that make you feel better about letting the baby of the family up in space?" John asked his father who he knew was debating his decision to let Allie up on TB5.
Jeff Tracy thought for a few moments before he came to decision. He knew that if he didn't let Allie go with her brother then she would become more depressed and maybe heaven forbid suicidal and then he would really lose his baby.
"OK John here is my decision. Allie will be going up with you for a week and only a week. That should be enough time for her to learn the systems of TB5 and I do want you calling in every day like planed." Jeff noticed the confusion on John's face. "The reason I'm only sending her up there for a week is that her family down her needs some time with her to make up for how we've been treating her."
John smiled at his father. A week was better than nothing. Like he said it would give his time to bond with his sister.
"F.A.B." John replied before he turned around and left the room.
Next chapter Scott, Virgil and Gordon discuss how they have been avoiding and treating their sister. Plus Allie gets ready for space for the first time.
Ideas would be great as I have no idea how older brothers act as I am an only child but I do know how over protective father's act.
Please please review if you like.
