John's family was overjoyed to see him again.

Jeff came running down to the hangar and grabbed him up in a fierce hug. "Oh my son, my son I've been so worried about you."

Letting John go to hug the rest of the family members waiting, Jeff noticed Brains holding something in his hands. "Brains is something wrong?"

Brains thought about the young woman he saw crying from the ship. "Y..Y..Yes M..M..Mr. Tracy there is. Y..You might w..w..want to wait f..f..until you all h..h..have gotten s..s..settled in first, b..b..but…" with that Brains handed the letters to Jeff and walked away.

After a good dinner they all decided to go to bed and get a good night's rest. John's memory was still not perfect but he had remembered everyone's name and had recognized his home. He still felt there was something he was missing but the excitement of the day had left him confused and wore out.

The next morning as the rest of the family was eating breakfast, John came running into the room glancing wildly about. "Where is she? Where is she? You didn't leave her behind did you?" He turned from their stunned expressions with a cry of anguish. Running from the room he called out. "Fiona! Fiona where are you?"

The others sat like statues for a moment before turning to Jeff for answers. Jeff sighed and looking down at the table said. "Scott go bring John to the study we need to have a meeting. And that means everyone, including Kyrano, Onaha, Tin-Tin, Brains and Fermat." With that Jeff stood and left the room.

The others abandoned their breakfast and followed him while Scott went to find John. Once everyone was in the study Jeff held up the two letters Brains had given him. "She left these on Thunderbird Two's ramp last night. Brains retrieved them and gave them to me. The first is to John Doe's family it tells how she found him and everything that has occurred up until now. The other one is for John." Jeff sighed before handing it to him.

John opened the letter and stood still reading the few words written. "No Fiona…." he dropped the letter and ran from the room.

Scott snatched it up and read it.

"What does it say?" asked Virgil quietly.

Scott cleared his throat. "My wonderful stargazer, you will never know how much joy you brought into my life. But I know how much the world needs you so I have to

let you go. Please think of me when you look at your stars. I will be thinking of you. Good bye, I will love you always."

Silence reigned for several minutes before all of his brothers started yelling.

"We have to bring her here Dad. He needs her" Virgil jumped up and stood with his fists clenched.

"Yeah dad, we can't do this to them!" Gordon said joining his brother.

Scott jumped in next. "Security isn't worth this Dad, didn't you hear him? He's dying inside."

Tin-Tin and Alan stood with their arms around each other. Alan looked at his dad. "Please Dad."

Everyone else in the room just looked at Jeff with pleading eyes holding their breath.

Jeff looked at everyone standing around him before smiling. "Well at least we're all in agreement."

Cheers erupted right before everyone ran out to find John and prepare for departure.

Scott muttered smiling, "Mission, Happily Ever After, is underway!"
