After finishing his swimming lessons, Fermat made his way over to where Alan was daydreaming on the sun lounger.
"T...T...Thinking about Tin Tin, Alan?" he asked knowingly, Alan jumped.
"Of course not, I was…er…just…um…" he gulped.
"Come on Alan, I'm not S…st…stupid" he smiled.
"Am I that predictable?" asked Alan shyly.
"Y…y…yep" he laughed as Alan pulled a face.
"I just can't stop thinking of her, I don't know what's wrong with me" he sighed. Fermat's grin widened.
"It's o…obvious, you've a cr…cr...Crush on her" he grinned.
"What am I going to do Fermat?" he asked desperately.
"Why don't you a…ask Lady Penelope. Sh…sh…she's sure to know what to d…d…do" he stuttered.
"Your right as always, if anyone could help, it'd be Lady P! Thanks Fermat!" he smiled as he hugged his friend.
"Hey squirt" yelled Gordon as he ran towards them.
"What's up bruv?" asked Alan curiously.
"Guess whose staying with us over Summer Vacation!" he grinned.
"W…wh…who?" asked Fermat.
"None other then our very own Lady Penelope!" informed Gordon.
"Really?" asked Alan excitedly. If she was staying then he'd have tonnes of time to ask her about Tin Tin. Speaking of which, where was she?
"Yep" smiled Gordon. "See you kids later" with that he ran and bombed into the pool, sending spray in all directions and receiving many groans.
"S…s…see you later Alan" stuttered Fermat as he ran off.
"So, what do you think?" asked a voice from behind him.
"He's getting there" smiled Alan, referring to Fermat's previous swimming lessons. Suddenly, his brain clicked and he swirled around to meet the beautiful form of Tin Tin.
"Wow" he gasped, seeing her dressed up wasn't a usual sight.
"I mean…" he quickly corrected. "You're just really, uh…" 'Think of a word, think of a word, THINK OF A WORD' screamed his mind.
"Blossoming" he said quickly. 'Bad choice of word!' screamed his mind.
"Eww" she screeched. "Did you say blossoming?"
"I just want to say, thank you, for saving me from the Hood" he smiled, trying to subtly change the topic.
"You would have done the same" she smiled. "If you could of" she added.
"Yeah" he agreed. "In a second"
Just then, Mr Tracy chimed his wine glass and broke them from their trance. 'Damn it' both their minds screamed. He then proceeded to introduce them into International Rescue. (I shan't write it out, if you want to see it, watch the DVD!")
After the celebrations were well underway, Jeff received a slightly unwelcome phone call from the president. International rescue was needed. He hung up and walked over to Penny.
"Sorry Penny" he sighed. "Duty calls" he smiled.
"Of course it does" she smiled. "And quite right too"
"While were out, why don't you get Parker to fly you home, and help you pack some things. After we've finished our mission, I'll pick you and Parker up in Thunderbird 2" he smiled.
"Just me" she corrected. "Parker's gonna stay and look after the mansion whilst I'm away. It's only right that he gets a holiday at the same time" she smiled as Jeff laughed.
"You're quite right" he grinned. "We shouldn't be too long"
"Ok" she smiled. "I'll meet you in London when you're done"
So they went their separate ways, for now at least!
