I don't own Thunderbirds. please review.


Scott hated when one of this brothers where hurt or sick. He look over to where Alan was sleeping. This spring break they were meant to go camping on one of the beaches of the Island but was disappointed where Alan had insisted on finishing his extra credit assignment.

Then Scott look closely at the memory. When had Alan ever put school work ahead of having a chance to export the Island? Yes he had improve his grades from D's to A's and one B but it shouldn't of result in extra credit. More the question why the extra credit? Then Scott's train of thought was gone when he felt a hand on his right shoulder.

"What's wrong?" John whisper not wanting to wake their father and the other three brothers.

"Let's go outside and I'll tell you there."


John had been watching Scott wearing his serous thinking face for haft an hour. Something bother his oldest brother. John's curious got the better of him and decided to put his left hand on Scott's right shoulder. Before asking "What's wrong?"

Scott had told him he wanted to go outside. John followed him to the pool side. John sat on one of the deck chairs as Scott pace up and down the side of the pool. John knew that Scott pacing wasn't a good sign. He also know he had to wait until Scott started speaking. Scott had stop pacing and took the chair across from John.

"Tell me do you know why Alan is doing extra credit?" Scott asked after a few minutes of silence.

"To improve his grades I thought but that was last year and I thought he kept his grades up till now….Is he doing extra credit I thought that the assignment he was working on was a normal assignment at a higher grade level" John said now looking concern. "Scott what aren't you telling me?"

"You know that we decided to go camping on spring break with Alan and he agreed to it. In fact he was looking forward only to come back with assignment that he insisted had to be done before anything else."

"We were only going for two nights" John said "he could had done the assignment aft...er….wait was he stalling….no… he was worried about the rest of the family finding out about the night mares."

"John what's is going through that kids mind."

"He doesn't want to look weak to his family."

"There something else. You know he told dad after his first mission that he wanted to complete school."

"Yeah dad thought it was a little odd that Alan wanted to start his training after he finish at Whartons but didn't want to push subject."

"I think he doesn't want to be a part of Thunderbirds….I mean I hadn't seen him near any of the birds since that mission not even show an interested in them at all."

"That's when the night mares started to get worst" John said coming to a realization.
