Scott looked around him. The silence was almost killing him. And all the weird shadows didn't help him to get asleep. He knew that Gordon and Alan weren't sleeping as well, due to the missing sounds of snoring.
It's that stupid alien movie that's keeping me awake! Scott thought. Who wants to look at a alien movie when you're in space! Better get some food, that should help.
Scott slowly went out of bed and walked on the corridor. He was walking to the monitors to take a shortcut to the kitchen when he jumped nearly three feet. The lights of the monitors looked a lot like the eyes on that aliens head.
He opened the cupboards in the kitchen. "Come on, there must be something else then energy bars"? He whispered.
"Don't get your hopes on". A voice suddenly said.
Scott screamed and jumped on the kitchen table. Virgill looked at him from the other side of the kitchen with a little smile on his face.
"What are you doing here"? Scott asked panting.
"Searching for something to eat…" Virgill said.
"O, come on, you're scared because of that movie aren't you"? Scott asked with a laugh.
"Okay, I am scared"! Virgill admitted. "But you are also, otherwise you wouldn't be here"!
They walked to the living room. Perhaps if they would watch a funny movie, they forgot about the aliens. Virgill and Scott duck into the closet.
"Forget it, there are only space movies"
This time, both Scott and Virgill jumped scared. Alan and Gordon were sitting in the couch.
"I thought you two said you weren't afraid"? Scott asked.
"I thought you said the same". Gordon said.
Virgill and Scott sat down next to their younger brothers.
"It seems only John has the guts of a Tracy…" Virgill sighed.
"And I thought this weekend was going to be boring…"Alan said.
"I have to take a leak". Scott said. He stood up and walked to the corridor.
"It surprises me he dares to go to the bathroom by himself". Virgill said.
Suddenly they heard a scream followed by some noise and another scream. The three of them hurried to the corridor. Gordon switched the lights on. John was on the ground, holding his hand against his eye and Scott stood in front of him with a white face.
"What happened"? Alan asked.
"I was heading for the living room when something hit me in the face". John said while he stood up.
"Sorry John, I thought you were an…". Scott begun.
"You thought I was a what"? John asked.
"An alien…"Scott whispered.
John started to laugh. "So that's why you are all here. "You're all scared because of that movie".
"You're not"? Alan asked.
John laughed again. "I'm not afraid of aliens"! He said.
Suddenly the alarm on his watch went off. John screamed and jumped into Scotts arms.
"So you're not afraid huh". Scott said when he dropped John on the couch.
"Well…I haven't watched a scary movie in a while…" John said.
Now all of them laughed. They all sat down on the couch and debated over who was ever the most afraid.
"Do you remember that Gordon watched that shark movie without dads permission"? Scott asked.
"Yeah, he got so scared he was too afraid to go to the toilet, so he wet his bed"! Virgill said laughing loud.
"I've never been afraid before". John said.
"Liar, remember that you got scared of my new fake snake"? Gordon said.
They laughed like this the entire night. The following day was much more fun. John showed them everything about Thunderbird 5 and in between they were making jokes about each other and watching movies together but now they knew they didn't have to be afraid if they were together. Monday came too soon.
"Hey dad". John said while he looked at his fathers face on the monitor.
"Hey John, how did it went"? Jeff asked. He looked up from his paper. "John, what have you done with your eye"?
"Uhm, hit it to a door dad". John said. "The others will be home around two o'clock".
After saying goodbye John turned off the monitor and walked to the couch. His brothers were sleeping tight. John laughed. This really was an awesome weekend.
The End!
Hope you enjoyed! ;)
