The next day, the five Tracy sons were eating breakfast in the kitchen.
"It's good having Lady Penelope around the house again" smiled Scott.
"Just like the good old days" agreed Virgil.
"The good old days?" asked Alan.
"Yeah sprout" smiled Gordon. "Like when you were three"
"Yeah, don't you remember Lady Penelope being around then?" asked John.
"Not really" sighed Alan.
"But you had some really good times!" laughed Virgil.
"Oh yeah! Do you remember that incident with the sharks?" laughed Scott.
"What sharks?" asked Alan, curiosity peaked.
"We were all down at the beach this one day" smiled John.
"Yeah, Lady Penelope and dad were there too" added Gordon.
"And we were all swimming in the sea" continued John.
"Did I meet a shark?" asked Alan excitedly.
"No" laughed Scott. "But Virgil thought it would be funny to tell you that there were sharks out there"
"It seemed funny at the time" explained Virgil.
"What happened?" asked Alan.
"You wouldn't go into the sea for a whole month!" laughed John.
"Unless Lady Penelope was there holding your hand" added Scott.
"What about when dad went on his first mission with Scott?" said Gordon suddenly. The other boys nodded and laughed.
"Oh yeah" laughed John.
"What?" asked Alan.
"Well, you were only five, I think" smiled Scott,
"And it was late at night" continued Virgil,
"And we were supposed to be in bed" laughed John,
"But we couldn't sleep because we were all worried" smiled Virgil,
"So me and you crept into Lady Penelope's bedroom" laughed Gordon.
"It took her 2 whole hours to get you to go to sleep" explained John.
"Wow!" laughed Alan. "What else?"
"Well, there was that time when she took us all to the park" thought Scott.
"Oh yeah. And there was that big death slide there!" smiled Virgil.
"I love death slides!" chirped in Alan.
"Well you were only four at the time" explained John.
"And I was only just old enough to go down it!" laughed Gordon. "Scott had to take me down!"
"Yeah, and when we got to the top it took me half an hour to persuade you to go down!" he laughed.
"Anyway" continued Virgil. "Lady Penelope wouldn't let you go down it"
"You were too little" butted in John.
"You threw the biggest tantrum ever!" laughed Scott.
"You thought it was awfully unfair" added Gordon.
"So Lady Penelope showed you some of the rides that we were too big for" smiled Virgil. "Only you were allowed on them"
"We got really jealous" laughed John.
"Speak for yourself" smiled Scott.
"Oh yeah? What about those toy cars we weren't allowed on?" smirked Virgil. "You really wanted to go on those. You almost had a fit!"
"Alright, but they were cool!" he cried in his defence.
"Either way" continued John. "She wouldn't let us go on them"
"She said…" started Gordon.
"These are only for special little people" came a female voice. The boys turned towards the door to see Lady Penelope stood in the doorway.
"Hey Lady Penelope" smiled Scott.
"We were just telling Alan some of the adventures we had with you when he was a kid" smiled Virgil.
"We did have some good times" she laughed.
