A/N: Hello all for the third time today! Well, I had to write it. Here it is, the last chapter of my first Thunderbirds fanfiction. First and last I do believe. Ah, it's been fun...well I enjoyed it anyway. Thanks once again for everyone who took the time to review my fic...they've all been so nice. I hope you like the ending...it's a bit sweet and mushy but then it has to be! This is self proclaimed fluff after-all.

Um, I don't have anything else to say except now this is over I can finally concentrate on reading your fanfictions! And yay for Virgil, the nicest Tracy brother if I do say so myself. And a big yay for Dominic Colenso for making Virgil gorgeous as well as lovely. (I seriously hope (and seriously doubt) he never reads this...I'm not a stalker, honest! But I doubt he'd use his time to read fanfiction...but just incase, here's my number 077...) Bye all!

"Ah, here she is!" Jeff exclaimed as Sophia emerged from the house and into the garden.

A few days after Sophia awoke, it was unfortunately time for her to depart for she was to go onto finishing school in France.

Sophia smiled bashfully at the attention and was glad when Alan and John turned it onto themselves because they were fighting in the pool again.

Sophia sat down next to Virgil at the table and he tucked his hand into hers and gave her a big smile.

"Well," Jeff Tracy announced, standing up. It was later into the evening now and after everyone had eaten and laughed basically. "What a summer it has been. I'll just take this time to say on behalf of my family that is has been a pleasure to meet and have you on the Island Sophia and it goes without saying that you're welcome back anytime."

"Thank you," Sophia said quietly, blushing insanely ala Alan. "Thanks for having me."

"I'm sorry Pea but it's time to go now," Penelope said softly, putting a hand on her sister's arm. Sophia acknowledged her and gave her an understanding smile and stood up.

Sophia said good bye to Jeff first then Kyrano and Onaha and then onto the boys. By the time she'd hugged Gordon, Sophia was finding it increasingly difficult not to cry.

She left Gordon and went back to Virgil. They saw everyone standing and watching them patiently, silly smiles on their faces.

"Um, we kinda wanted to say good-bye in private," Virgil explained to his father and Jeff gave him a nod. Sophia looked to Penelope who nodded also to say it was ok. The rest looked disappointed, apparently they were looking forward to seeing the heart breaking good bye of young love.

"Take as long as you like," Penelope said and Sophia and Virgil began to walk toward the beach hand in hand.

"Looks like our babies are growing up," Penelope sighed to Jeff as they both watched as Virgil slipped his hand out of Sophia's and tucked it firmly around her shoulders.

"Yeah," Jeff replied and smiled slowly.

"The sky is so beautiful," Sophia sighed to Virgil as they made their way onto the sand. The sun was setting and it left the sky in a wonderful red, orange and black swirl for as far as the eye could see.

"It's always like this at this time of year," Virgil replied. They had reached a suitable spot on the beach and settled themselves down. Virgil kept his arm around Sophia's shoulders and she rested her head on his shoulder.

They were quiet for a little while, watching the waves and sky intently, neither knowing what to say really.

"Do you really have to go?" Virgil sighed at last, twisting some of Sophia's hair around his finger.

"Yes. I really have to go," Sophia replied. "It's what you do when your holiday finishes. Go home back to the real world."

"This is my real world though," Virgil argued lightly.

"Yeah, yours. Not mine," Sophia replied.

"It could be," Virgil insisted.

"No Virgil. Not right now anyway," Sophia explained. Virgil remained quiet.

"Let's not depart on a bad note," Sophia sighed after it became apparent Virgil wasn't going to reply.

"OK!" Virgil replied and pushed himself and Sophia back onto the sand. Between the shout of shock and giggling, Sophia managed to allow Virgil to kiss her gently.

"Are you glad you came?" Virgil asked after a little time of kissing.

"Of course. But then the only reason I did come was to stop myself from being…never mind," Sophia said quickly.

"It's alright. I know about it. Just be careful ok?" Virgil explained.

"Yes sir, Mr Thunderbird sir," Sophia joked and mocked saluted him.

"I'm serious. Be careful," Virgil repeated.

"I will Virgil! Anyway, I'm going off to France aren't I? Harry doesn't know that and he can't find out," Sophia said.

"Oh yeah, France. Hmm, perhaps International Rescue will be making more stops in France from now on?"

"Virgil."

"OK, maybe just a few stops. Now and then. Just a couple before Christmas because you'll be back here for Christmas, right?"

"If it's anything to do with you Mr Tracy."

"Oh it will be M'lady."

"Virgil?"

"Yes, M'lady?"

"Will you do me one favour? Please?"

"Anything. Within reason."

"It's just I've always wanted to see those palm trees do that tilty thing…"

- - -

"See you at Christmas then," Virgil said with a smile.

"Certainly," Sophia replied and gave Virgil one last kiss. "And you know where I am now."

Virgil smiled once more and Sophia watched him disappear from sight and then waved him off, getting thoroughly windswept as she did so.

Adjusting her hair, Sophia turned and was greeted by her friend Melissa Stanley-Banks, whom was also attending the same finishing school as Sophia.

"Was that Thunderbird Two?" Melissa asked, gob smacked. Sophia looked up at the disappearing green vehicle then back to Melissa.

"It was," She replied innocently.

"And was that a Thunderbird you just kissed?" Melissa pressed, unbelievingly.

"Um, yeah," Sophia replied, a grin spreading across her face at her friends bewildered look.

"What kind of summer did you have then?" Melissa cried.

"An interesting one to say the least."

The End.
