Thunderbirds-Angel In Flight.
Ok, I was listening to 'Take my Breath Away.' By Berlin and had the idea for a sequel to the film 'Top Gun', so I thought I would give it a twist and make it into this.
None of the characters from Top Gun are in this. I don't own Virgil Tracy or any of the other boys but, Dom is tucked up in my bed, eating Ben & Jerry's (all who know me will know my obsession with B & J'S)
Set in Movie-Verse.
Reviews welcome. Will try and keep updated. Not too many chapters I hope.
Chapter One-Air Force Calling.
"You wanted to see me dad?" Virgil asked poking his head round the door to his father's office.
"Oh yeah Virg, come on in," As Jeff ushered in his middle son, Scott stepped away from the window and sat in one of the chairs in front of his father's desk. Virgil smiled at him and took a seat next to him and gazed quizzically at his father.
"What's going on?" Jeff sighed and looked at a letter in his hands.
"I got a letter from the United States Air Force yesterday and they would like one of you boys to join them for a few weeks, and myself, Scott and John have decided you should go," Virgil although now clear was still confused. He looked at Scott who was just smiling.
"Me why? I mean Scott's the better pilot,"
"That's why I can't leave, and you don't need to worry about your baby, dad's gonna pilot it," Virgil glared at him like an uber death glare that if looks could kill Onaha would be doing an extra hard job on the window tomorrow morning.
"Sorry She. He'll pilot her!" Virgil smiled and turned to his father.
"How long will I be gone?"
"Three weeks, but remember you can't mention anything about International Rescue," Virgil nodded and looked at Scott.
"OK, I'll do it,"
"Good you leave in an hour, Penny's coming by to pick you up," Virgil smiled at his dad and left the office with Scott in tow.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean leave IR for a month,"
"Are you kidding? I get a month off! And you never know the hot pilots that might be there," Virgil punched his brother on the arm and walked down the corridor to his room to pack.
The Pink Ford landed with ease on the runway for Thunderbird 2 and pulled up next to the family waiting around a very shaky Virgil. The car stopped and Lady Penelope stepped out.
"Hello," she greeted everyone and they all stepped forward for hugs and kisses.
"Ready to go?" Penny smiled at Virgil after Parker had put his silver suitcase into the boot.
"Yeah I think so," he turned to his family and bid them all goodbye. Jeff pulled him to one side.
"Look while you're gone I don't want you worrying about us, ok just keep your mind focused on the job," Virgil blushed and hugged his father.
"Just don't crash my baby," Jeff ruffled his son's hair and pushed him over to the car. He gave everyone one last smile and got into the car. He looked out the window and waved to all of his family waving at him as he ascended over the island and away.
"Are you ok Virgil? You look a little distracted," Penny placed her hand over his, but he was still looking out of the window.
"I've never been away from the island for so long before, it's just scary I guess," he looked at her with the little half smile he did.
"Scared? Virgil Tracy scared? Well there's something I never thought I'd ever see,"
"Pardon me ma lady. We be over the air base in fifteen minutes, may I suggest that master Tracy get changed now?" Parker looked over his shoulder and informed his employer and friend and her companion.
"Changed?" Virgil looked down at his t-shirt, Hobbit pants, (they were actually ¾ length brown cords but after seeing Lord of the Rings, Scott had taken to calling them his Hobbit pants and the name just stuck,) and trainers. Penny looked him up and down and reached down behind her chair, and pulled out tow boxes.
"Of course you can't go to an air force base looking like that, no offence. So here you are," she handed him the two boxes, one was lager and flatter than the other. He took of the lid and pulled back the delicate white paper, to reveal a navy blue suit, and white shirt with a blue tie. There was a small badge on the front. 'V. Tracy.'
"You're first set of dress blues, and the shoes are in the box underneath, come on get changed. Don't worry I won't peak," she smiled and moved her seat forward.
Despite the fact he was in car he still found it incredibly easy to get dressed. He did up his last cuff button and looked in the small mirror.
"Nice," he sighed to him self.
"I agree," smiled Penny who had not moved her chair back, "and just in time to here we are," Virgil looked over the air base and saw miles of planes and people running around. He smiled.
The car landed and Parker parked outside a building along the edge of the air strip. A man was there to greet him once he and Lady Penelope had got out of the car and Parker had his case. The man in front of them was tall, grey haired man who looked like he had been in the air force longer than Virgil had been alive. His eyes were almost none existent under his hat visor with kinda scared Virgil, and made him wonder if he could see under it.
"Virgil Tracy, I presume? My name is General Montello, Welcome to Tyndale Air Base," the man saluted. Virgil didn't know what else to do so he saluted back.
TBC…..hope you enjoyed, it's gonna get better I promise!
