A.N I'm sorry! hangs head I know, I know, it's been about a week...but my computer got a virus and decided it didn't want to work, and it also decided to eat all my pictures grumble stupid computer... So anyway, hearse the next part at long last!
Alan practically skipped back into his bedroom, greeted by a funny look from John.
"What are you so happy about?" he asked suspiciously.
"Oh err... it's nothing you'd be interesting really..." Alan replied and sat back down, to look at the notes John had written in his book.
John snapped the book shut. "Enlighten me"
"Oh sure, like I'd just tell you" Alan retorted and tried to grab the book away from John.
"Tell me or I'll tell Dad what you and Tin-Tin got up to last night"
"What!? We didn't do anything!"
"Your room is right next to mine, don't think I didn't hear you"
Alan blushed slightly and sighed. "Fermat and Brains are going to Birmingham"
"And you planned it I presume?" John asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Gordon did too!" Alan said defensively.
"Scott's gonna flip, you know that?"
"He'll get over it" Alan said carelessly.
John was just about to protest when Gordon bounced into the room, with a chef hat on. "Dinner's done!" he said enthusiastically.
"Please don't say you made it...out of all the ways I could die I really don't want it to be food poisoning" Alan grinned cheekily.
"Actually, Virge made it, I just helped out, and next time you insult me you're gonna get a serious noogie" Gordon frowned. "Anyway, hurry up!"
"We're on our way Gordo" John said. "Hadn't you best go tell Tin-Tin?"
"One step ahead of you bro"
"What about Fermat and Brains?" John smirked.
"They're pack- err...packing up the...cutlery because Fermat set out the wrong ones!" Gordon said quickly.
"Oh really? How interesting..." John said, still smirking.
"Anyway, I best...go, bye!" Gordon said and hurried out of the room.
John and Alan made their way to the dinner table and sat themselves down. Virgil was still in the kitchen plating all the food, wearing an apron with a man's torso on, along with the exact same chef hat Gordon had been wearing. Gordon was making up jobs for himself to do to keep away from John. Scott was putting the apple pie in the oven for after dinner and Tin-Tin sat herself down next to Alan.
Scott came in a couple of minutes later looking flustered. "Where is Fermat and Brains?" he asked.
"Well according to Gordon they're packing away the wrong set of cutlery they set out" John explained, looking over at Gordon. Scott gave John a funny look and then looked over at Gordon, who quickly started getting drinks ready.
"Gordon! Get here!" Scott shouted.
"Ask Alan! He was in on it too!" Gordon squeaked from inside the fridge.
Scott looked down at Alan. "Well what a surprise...what's all this about squirt?"
"Well I thought Brains could do with a break...and Fermat wanted to check out a science exhibit they had on at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, so me and Gordo suggested they went there" Alan explained innocently, giving Scott his baby face.
Scott sighed and breathed deeply, trying to keep calm. "Virge spent the whole afternoon cooking this meal for us, so we're going to forget this happened while we eat, and then I want you to explain your actions to Dad" Scott said firmly.
"What!? You can't do that!" Alan argued.
"Or. You and Gordon can give Thunderbird 1 a good cleaning, it's loosing its sparkle."
"Thunderbird 2 could do with a good scrub coming to think of it" Virgil grinned as he walked in with the plates of food.
"And you can both clean Thunderbird 2 afterwards then" Scott finished as Gordon sank down into his chair. "That's abusing your privilege" he muttered.
"It's called being in charge Gordy, and the choice is yours" Scott smirked, sitting himself in between Tin-Tin and Virgil.
"We'll clean the Thunderbirds..." Alan sighed.
"A wise choice" Scott said, and they all tucked in.
