Scott moaned at the suggestion of the next campfire game but earned a marshmallow to the head for his grumpiness, "that was uncalled for."

"So is your protesting," Gordon threw a couple more twigs onto the fire, "right, who wants to be the answerer?"

Alan grinned, "I will, gimme all you've got."

Kayo shone Virgil's shoulder torch on him illuminating him in an eerie green light, "question 1, if you weren't in International Rescue, what is your ideal job?"

Alan smiled, "a vet, I love saving lives."

"Question 2, what is the worst thing you've ever done?" Gordon asked grinning from cheek to cheek.

"Oh man, I have to come clean don't I?" Alan looked across to Gordon who nodded, "alright, I swapped sugar for salt in one of Grandma's cakes once then said it was her who did it, that was more or less the same time her cooking got bad."

"Woah, Alan!" Virgil laughed, "that's malicious."

"I was really young."

"You're still really young," Scott chuckled, "my turn to ask. What three words would you use to describe yourself?"

"Funny, active and clever."

Kayo laughed, "I'm not sure I would agree with being active apart from when you're on missions. Virgil?"

"OK Alan, question 4, what's your secret talent?"

"There's a reason the word secret is in front of it," Alan rolled his eyes, "fine, fine. I've never told anyone this but I am really good at paper art, origami and stuff like that."

Virgil grinned, "oh you have to teach me, I've always wanted to design a Thunderbird 2 one."

"You can copy mine."

They reached the final question and by this point Alan's head was hurting, Scott grinned at him as he toasted another marshmallow.

"Final question, out of all of us, who is your favourite sibling?"

Alan looked around at all of them then smiled, "sorry but it's you Scott, you're my big brother, who else am I going to say."

"But you say I drive you crazy?"

"I idolise you, you're who I look up to, literally."

Kayo smiled as the two hugged, "who wants to go next?"

Scott let go of Alan reluctantly and nodded, "I'll go, it looks like fun."

"It's really not, it feels like an interrogation."

Ten easy questions went by then they began to get harder, Alan aimed the hardest ones as payback but Gordon made sure to add in comedic flares.

"Between being a child or a girl for a day, what would you rather?"

"What kind of a question is that?" Scott threw his hands up, "Gordon, each one you've asked me has been like this."

Gordon shrugged, "what's your answer?"

"Well to make you laugh, I'd say be a girl for the day, I mean it's not that bad, right Kayo?"

"Oh, I'd let you use my makeup whenever you wanted," she grinned and Virgil laughed.

"Question 11, what is the weirdest nickname ever given to you, not by us?"

"Ooh nice one Virg," Alan smiled, "we all know his personal ones."

Scott bit his lip, "alright but don't start using this, it was daddy-long-legs," he blushed as his siblings fell about laughing, "oh come on it's not that funny."

"I am so using that!" Gordon sat up from the sand he had fallen back onto, "long legs, oh that's good!"

"Shut up."

"It's the daddy which makes it, who called you that?" Virgil coughed as he got his voice back.

"My first girlfriend."

Alan sniggered, "we're definitely using that."

Scott crossed his arms, "next question."

"Question 12. Cake or pie?"

"Pie."

"13. Do you think breaking up via text is right or wrong?"

"Wrong."

These questions went on until twenty one, and Kayo leant forward with the torch.

"Is it okay to sacrifice one life to save ten?"

Scott froze and immediately scowled, "why would you ask me that?" He stood up, "that's enough."

Virgil watched him march down the beach out of earshot, "that was too far Kayo."

"It's a valid question."

"Not to him."

Alan cocked his head to the side, "what's wrong?"

"Ask him," Virgil poked the fire as Kayo stood up, "then I'll explain."

Kayo slipped her flip flops on and walked down to the shoreline where Scott was sitting on the rocks, she hopped up beside him and sighed, "I'm really sorry."

"I know."

"When have you had to choose?"

"More times than I can count."

"I guess I knew that, but I was only curious."

"Try not being curious next time."

"Scott, please look at me," she sighed and he turned, his eyes were watering and she sighed, "I wasn't trying to get in your head, I just picked a question at random."

Scott narrowed his eyes, "I've had to choose one life over ten so many times Kayo, you just can't save everyone, if you're lucky you can evacuate a whole building but sometimes the only person you can save is right in front of you and that's all, you don't get a choice, you only do what you can there and then."

Kayo watched the man break in front of her, "we won't play anymore, I'm really sorry," she went to leave but he grabbed her arm gently.

"Wait. The question just reminded me that Dad was one person and I couldn't save him and now I've saved groups of people, which kinda makes up for it," he sighed, "I'm sorry I snapped."

"It's fine, I was the one who asked the question," she jumped down from the rocks and heard him jump down beside her, "are you coming back to the bonfire?"

Scott nodded, "yeah, it's just a game after all."

Kayo sat down beside Virgil, "we're good."

Virgil looked across at Scott, "new game guys? How many marshmallows can we get on the stick."

"I have a better game, dare or dare."

"It's dark Gordon, that's not a good idea."

"What about a campfire song then, or something similar?" Kayo asked thinking about the scorpions which liked to come out at that time of night.

Virgil nodded, "good thing I brought my guitar down."

"One of us always does," Gordon reached behind himself and pulled round a guitar, "fight!"

"Or just a trio," Scott bit his lip as he got his guitar from behind his log.

Kayo looked at Alan, "please don't."

"Nah, mine is on the wall like always," he ushered the others, "someone play then?"

Virgil shrugged and began to play smiling when Gordon and Scott joined in, "that'll be three of us."
