Alan turned over and looked to the clock at the side of his bed 6am. Maybe I should get up he thought…nah its spring break another hour at least. He rolled back over and pulled the cover of his head and went back to sleep.
There was a tremendous roar outside, Alan quickly jumped out of bed and sprinted to the window. He watched as the huge machine that was Thunderbird 1 took off from out of the pool and zoomed up into the air. The Thunderbirds were off on another mission…again…without him. He went back to his bed and flopped down on it going back to sleep.
His alarm rang as he rolled over and slammed his fist down on top of it, defiantly time to get up he thought. He slowly sat up and yawned looking to the clock, 11am. His brothers should have been back by now and probably about to have breakfast. Alan got out of bed and quickly changed from his pajamas into a grey t-shirt and blue swimming trunks. He plodded out of his room and down the stairs. As he walked into the kitchen he saw none of his brothers or his father there, he looked to Onaha.
'Hey we're dad?' she looked round to him and smiled
'Good morning Alan, their still off on their mission.' Alan let out a soft sigh
'Hmmm five hours, I'll go to the control room and find out what's going on' Onaha put some pancakes on the table
'After breakfast, their bound to be home soon'
Alan shrugged and walked to table and sat down putting some of the pancakes on his plate.
He looked round the empty room and thought of what Scott had said only three years before 'I'll never leave you Alan' he has said. But what were they doing now apart from leaving him behind, he wanted so much to be a Thunderbird. In a way Scott had broken his promise to his little brother.
