(A/N: I got outta school last week so i'll be updating alot more either 1 a day or every other. So if you still in school that stinks but heres a little treat for you when you get home lol.)

Alan sat on his bed wrapping his left wrist with the ace bandage from the infirmary. He wrapped it in a way so that it could be hidden under a sweatshirt sleeve just below the fingers. He had also grabbed and asprin for the pain to numb it. Alan looked over at the clock which read 7:30. I have those dishs to do but, if I go now everyone will be down there. They'll probably notice me having trouble lifting grandma's heavy pan. I guess I could take a nap for an hour or two and wake up in a bit when everyones off in there rooms.

Alan went over to the sliding doors and opened them all the way allowing the summer breeze in. Then he went to his closet and pulled out a black hoodie. Not just because it was 'chilly' but it also hid his bandages wrist. Seeing as he shared a room with Gordon he could use the excuse that it was 'chilly' and thats why he had his sweatshirt on. Hopefully Gordon wouldn't notice that he was favoring his wrist. If he even questioned Alan and didn't get an answer he would go and tell Scott. Not his father. His brothers never tatteled on each other to there father unless it was nessesary. They always went to Scott or John. If Scott found out something was up with Alan there was no keeping it a secret. Alan laid down on his bed which was across from the window and Gordons bed. He quickly fell alseep.

"Gordon get over here NOW!!" Scott yelled

"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin." He yelled from behind the door of TB4

"Gordon come on we won't hurt you...much" Virgil mummbled the last part

"HEARD THAT! For one this door stays shut. two, Scotts scares me more than you. You couldn't even hurt a 'green bug' " Gordon said. Scott catchin on started to laugh.

"It's not funny. He made fun of your 'bird' too." Virgil said. Scott winked at him

"Yeah well lets give into him this once. I have some things to go over on MY 'Thunderbird'. Hey why is TB4 even a TB. I mean it can't fly. John's 'bird' does more flyin than that toy sized sub thing. Could it even be a sub?" Virgil had a huge smile on his face understanding what Scott was doing. as they SLOWLY walked away.

"HEY THATS NOT FUNNY I WASN'T THAT MEAN TO...shit" Gordon said after realizing it had been a trick and as soon as he opened the door of TB4 he saw Scott and Virgils huge smiles.

"Thats not nice language Gordon. What would dad think, Scott?" Virgil said

"I don't know Virg, what if he told grandma?" Scott answered. All the Tracy brothers knew how there grandmother had such language. She would say gentlemen don't use that language and it was just rude.

"FINE!! I GIVE!! What do you want?" Gordon asked. Another unwriten tracy rule. 'When you got caught , not matter what you did, you had to do ONE chore. No matter what it was.'

"hmmmm Clean TB2. She's losing her shine." Virgil said with a grin.

"COME ON! Thats not fair. How bout I restock the infirmary?" Gordon tried to persuade his older brother.

"No i'd like to do that myself. Hey remember 'WAX ON, WAX OFF' ,Scott?" Virgil noticed Scott trying not to laugh

"Wow Gordo burned by Virg with a 'Karate Kid' quote. ouch. I want you to...Do the dishs for Alan." Scott said.

"That it. OH thank GOD!" Gordon said seeming very thankful.

"Well you better get started you have to be up at 5:30 to get ready to get John and it is 7:30. Don't want you falling alseep now and when you get back you can wash TB2. Deal?" Scott offered.

"DEAL!!" Gordon said clearly happy and ran out the cargo bay up to the kitchen.

"Well I have to go stock the infirmary." Virgil said.

"Hey i'll help you I have nothing better to do. So your really gonna make him wash all of TB2" Scott said as they headed into the house

"No, it's more fun watchin him thinking he has to when he doesn't." Virgil said laughing

"Wow you have a little evil in you after all." Scott said seeming surprised. As they walked into the infimary in the house Virgil noticed that one of the boxes were out.

"Thats odd" Virgil noted

"Whats up, Virg?" Scott asked from across the room

"This box was shut earlier and on the top but now its opened and on the ground."

"hmm Maybe Brains needed something?" Scott suggested goin back to check what was to go on TB2 and what was to stay in the house infirmary.

"Yeah but brains would ask and I don't think he needs ace bandages." Virgil stated

"True. Don't worry about it. A box was opened and what was stolen 'A ACE BANDAGE' only one. Not a big deal maybe someone else grabbed it. Maybe Gordon ."

"Yeah I guess your right." Virgil shurgged "Okay lets get going Gordons not the only one that has to wake up at the crack of dawn." Scott laugh at this. Virgil wasn't really a morning person. Unless 'morning' was considered 9:00am.

Aftr Gordon finished the dishs he headed to his room. After a mission and running from your pissed off brothers could take alot out of you. Gordon decided to take the long route to his room. So that he didn't come close to the infiramry where Scott and Virgil were taking supplies to TB2 and stocking up the house infimary.

As he opened the door he noticed the lights were out and the sliding doors were opened letting a slightly chilly ocean breeze in. Gordon looked over to Alans bed and noticed he was sleeping. That kid could sleep through anything. Him and Virgil.

"Hey Alan. If you have the enrgy to put a sweater on i'm sure you could have gooten you lazy butt out of bed and shut the doors." Gordon said walking by Alans bed.

"It's easier to just stay in bed..." Alan said sleepingly and he turned over facing his back to his brother.

"Oh so you are awake and yet you couldn't shut the door?"

"Nope"

"yawn What ever. Oh yea your off dish duty." Gordon said sitting down on his bed taking off his shoes.

"Why?" Alan turned to face his brother.

"Scott and Virgil got me." Alan started to laugh " NO, not funny! They tag teamed. Thats not fair."

"Well, its not against the rule really. There not even written down." Alan said

"Whose side you on? Thought we were a team. My other half isn't goin soft on me now?"

"No, just funny how you get caught most of the time unless i'm there. OR you run on 1 instead of 3."

"Well...I didn't notice the counting." Gordon retorted

"Sure."

"Hey its only 8. Why you already in bed?"

"I should ask you the same thing."

"I have to be up at 5:30 to go get John with Virgil. Don't avoid the question." Gordon asked

"I'm just tired is all. No big deal. So Johns coming down for the summer?"

"Yup. Brains is going up to finish some repairs and taking Tin-Tin and Fermat along. Dad thought it would be a good chance for them to see TB5 up close. Your gonna stay and get trained by Virg on the bug and Scott on TB1." Gordon explained

"Cool. You should watch what you say isn't that why you got introuble in the first place." Alan asked

"Yeah but hes not here so its safe." Gordon said making his arm cross like in baseball when your safe.

Great Johns coming. One more person to hide from. At least Gordon didn't notice.

1/2 HOUR Later

It was around 9 when Scott and Virgil finished up with the stocking. Virgil had gone to bed right after while Scott went to get Alan to eat .

As he walked into Alans and Gordons roomed he saw that both of them were alseep. Gordon he understood why he was alseep but normally Alan stayed up late. (A/N: uh oh )

" Hey Alan, wake up sprout." Scott said while skaing Alan shoulder.

".hmm...what?" Alan asked sleeply as he turned his head to look at Scott.

"I gabbed you some left over." He said

"m,...thanks yawn but i'm not hungry."

"...I'll take it..." Gordon said from across the room.

"Hey no one asked you. Go back to sleep thats the only time your quiet. How were those dishs?" With that Gordon grumbled and rolled back over, falling back alseep instantly.

"Alright, I'll leave it in the fridge if you want it later." Scott said getting up.

"...'kay...thanks."

"Your welcome." Scott answered knowing what he ment.
