YAY! Chapter two! I know its horribly short but the next one should be longer. Don't hate me D:

Disclaimer: No, I unfortunatly do not own the Thunderbirds, or any of the Tracy boys (its a depressing thought isn't it?)

I do however, own the plot and all my spelling errors :)


The girl looked at the dark sky then back down at her family. All three of them were so coated in dust and ash they almost blended into the smoke surrounding them. She could hear the roaring of the fire still behind them. They could still outrun it. She knew they could. They didn't have a choice. Mum would be frantic by now. She couldn't let her mum down. Turning to her brother and sister she motioned them to keep moving. None of the three could talk. They had all inhaled so much smoke and ash and it had swollen their throats making breathing hard and talking nearly impossible. The younger two nodded their responses and jogged a bit to keep the pace with their big sister.

"Base this is Thunderbird 1, i'm at the site, it's not pretty. To put it in perspective, everything here is in one of two categories; burnt or burning." A hazy video appeared on yet another screen in the office. Scott was right, the whole area was terrible.

"Right, well look for the kids," Jeff turned back to Johns screen "Where were the kids last contacted from?' John didn't bother saying anything and just sent the information straight to Thunderbird 1. Scott, also wordlessly, changed his course slightly to head to the new coordinates.

Jeff rubbed his eyes, his mind running a million miles an hour. Once they got there, how are they supposed to get the kids out? They were going to have next to no energy and god knows what other injuries. What if they can't get in to get them out in time. Then what, would he feel the guilt of not saving three innocent kids for the rest of his life? Or would he forget about it. No, he couldn't, these were someones kids, they had mothers and fathers and grandparents and aunts and uncles, and their whole lives ahead of them. He was going to make sure these three made it through, no matter what.

Even as she stumbled through the thick overgrowth, she could hear the fire suddenly intensify. Keeping her head down, she kept moving. A small tugging on her shirt made her turn to face the younger girl, who said nothing but pointed up to the sky. Which was now blue, silver and had some upside down writing. The older girl turned around on the spot so she could read what was written, mouthing it slowly "thun-der-bir-d" she frowned. As her brain suddenly processed what was happening she smiled and turned to face her siblings. Or, at least where her siblings had been.
