A/N: Hello! Long time, no post eh? How are we all? Happy that Thunderbirds has finally been released on DVD? I'm very happy because lucky little me knows a friend who owns a video rental shop and he gave me a big bag of Thunderbird promotion stuff! Yay! Oh, and I am now a 19 year old fan...had my birthday on Halloween and yes, I did wish I could have Dom for my present...sigh, I didn't get him though - looked on eBay and everything! Lol.

Thanks to Lozzie, killhill2003, Lexsgal, f1r3, Thunderbird-Shrapnel, kazza, Assena, nikki-browneyes and Little-Thief for my reviews. You all know how much I love you by now!

Just quick, I do apologise for this chappie...it's a little sugary at the bottom but please don't be put off by the Mary-Sue ness feel to it...I'll make it up with a big actiony climax soon - I feel some pyromania coming your way! Heehee!

"Scott!" Sophia urged through gritted teeth. "Get back!"

They had heard footsteps pounding on the floor and Scott had decided to open the door just a crack to have a look.

"Scott, I mean it!" Sophia hissed frantically, approaching him from behind and took a hold of his arm in an attempt to yank him back.

"Quick!" Scott hissed back and taking her hand firmly in his, dragged her out into the hall and began hurtling forwards, away from the sounds of footsteps.

Not prepared for the sudden sprint, Sophia stumbled and tripped while her hair clung to her face and stuck in her eyes. She fell over her feet and tripped Scott up but he remained determined and carried on sprinting as fast as he could, dragging Sophia along behind him.

Scott turned around briefly to check who was behind them and found there was no-one. They turned a corner and found themselves in a small, narrow hall that seemed very quiet and unused.

They stopped just around the corner of the turning and Sophia leant heavily against the wall catching her breath while Scott peeped back down the longer corridor they had just ran down to make sure they were safe for a few minutes.

"Why, did you, have to, drag me, that bloody fast?" Sophia gasped, bending over slightly. "I'm more of, a jogger than a sprinter, for your information anyway."

"You don't say," Scott said with a smile, looking at her over his shoulder before turning his gaze back down the hall. He decided they were safe for now and turned back to Sophia, also leaning against the wall for a breath.

"Do you have a plan for us yet?" Sophia asked. She was drawing a complete blank so hoped Scott had a better idea than her.

"Kind of," Scott said. "Kind of...not really."

"Oh dear," Sophia sighed, running a hand through her knotty hair and closing her eyes as if praying for patience.

"This may not be the time or the place but there's something I need to know Sophia," Scott said after a little while, using a very serious tone of voice. Sophia began to panic slightly, what on earth was Scott about to say to her?

"What is it?" She replied, feeling her stomach knot with nerves and her mouth go dry.

"I know there's been something going on with you and my brother," Scott admitted. Sophia gulped, he wanted to talk about Virgil.

"It's not that I don't think you're good enough but I need to make sure Virgil isn't likely to get hurt," Scott continued. Sophia blinked at him. Did he just say what she thought he did? Was Scott Tracy giving her the 'talk' already?

"Scott, listen -," Sophia began but Scott interrupted her.

"Do you love my brother?"

Sophia was so shocked at his words that she had to take a step back to steady herself. What sort of question was that in the middle of a crisis? Did she love Virgil? She didn't know! Of course she didn't know, she hardly knew him...oh.

"Scott, I can't answer that...I hardly know Virgil..." Sophia stuttered before she could stop herself. She wanted to kick herself at her stupid choice of words.

"Well I think you know him well enough by now Sophia," Scott said sternly. Sophia didn't like what Scott was turning into, all weird and stern.

"Scott, why are you doing this to me? I like Virgil a lot but it's impossible to know if you love someone after only a few weeks in each others company. Plus, there's all kinds of difficulties for us unlike normal couples," Sophia explained.

"Difficulties?"

"Well, he's part of International Rescue for one! I live in England for another and I have a life there. This is a holiday Scott, not my everyday life which I'm very pleased about," Sophia replied, motioning around her. There really were more pressing things at the moment than whether or not she loved Virgil Tracy.

"Well, I'm sorry Sophia but I think you're going to hurt Virgil very much," Scott sighed.

"Why?!" Sophia demanded, her voice shocked and squeaky.

"Because, even though he hardly knows you, he knows in his heart that he loves you already."
