Kayo watched Thunderbird 1 speed ahead and checked her scanner to see where Thunderbird 2 was, then decided to call in on the eldest.

"Hey, Scott, what made you fly off the handle just then?"

"You caught that huh?"

"He's just a kid Scott."

"Who works for that moron under the name of Francois Lemaire," Scott sighed as he gazed at Kayo's hologram. "I'm sorry, but everything that man has done has led us into trouble, and that kid was the worst."

"Well, you'll be pleased to know he's onboard Thunderbird 2."

Scott almost stalled Thunderbird 1 in flight, "what?"

"Virgil is taking him back to Francois' yacht for a celebratory party," Kayo grinned. "Now, are you in or out?"

"Of what?"

"Joining them?"

Scott groaned, "I'd rather just go home."

"And leave poor Virgil to deal with him alone?"

"Don't send me on a guilt trip sweetheart."

Kayo plotted a new course and pulled Shadow around, "then I'll see you on that boat." She signed off with a kiss.

"God help me," Scott followed and went to full thrust.

Every minute on Thunderbird 2 was agony for Virgil as he set a course for Lemaire's yacht, he sighed again as Brandon turned the camera on himself to inform his bloggers of his whereabouts.

"Brandon here, on Thunderbird 2 with the infamous Virgil Tracy off to celebrate my new job. It's going to be awesome!"

"Brandon, do you have to film everything?"

"Dude, I have like 2 million followers wanting to know everything I'm up to."

"Yeah, I'm sure they do," Virgil answered sarcastically. "We're nearly there. Thank heavens."

"The boss is going to be so pleased with me."

"You sure? You did lose his balloon."

"But I drove an awesome ball, right down a hill. Snowballing ha!"

"I think you'll find my brother did most of the work. He saved you after you risked his life for some stupid fan-vlog."

"Woah dude, ease up."

"He's my brother, dude, and I will risk everything for him," Virgil frowned angrily at the teenager. "So be quiet. The sooner I get you off my ship, the better I'll feel."

Brandon gulped slightly and shrank into his chair cutting the vlog feed, "okay."

Virgil smirked to himself and pushed his ship to her maximum speed, "good."

Thunderbird 1 overtook her sister and closed in, Scott looked across to his brother with a smile but was met with a glare.

"Alright Virgil, I'm sorry."

"You will be."

Shadow flanked them and Kayo sighed, "now boys, he's only a teenager."

Virgil glared at Brandon, "yes, the worst age."

Brandon looked down into his lap, "I'm sorry I caused all of this."

"There's the ship," Virgil circled the yacht and watched the other Thunderbirds land.

"Virgil, how are you planning to land here?" Scott asked. "You still need to drop the kid off."

Virgil frowned, "working on that." He hovered above the water inches from the waves, "well Brains, I really hope you tried this out." He took a deep breath and pressed a button on the console, the craft shuddered and from the module, four large floats inflated and he landed on the water, the balloons carried the weight of Thunderbird 2 and Virgil smiled, "there, easy as."

"How do we get on board dude?"

"Watch, and don't film," Virgil activated a platform from the ship to Lemaire's yacht. "We simply walk across."

On deck, Kayo and Scott were waiting for Brandon to come aboard with Virgil and the eldest was pacing slightly with impatience.

"We don't need to be here Kayo, it's only to drop him off, then we can go home."

"We will, just stop pacing."

Virgil came on board with a frightened-looking Brandon and smiled at Madeline, "your new apprentice."

Madeline smiled, "speaking for my husband, thank you for bringing him. We'll have a word with him about his actions today, and his new job."

"Please don't let him near our operations again, that balloon was a disaster from the start," Scott sighed. "And Brandon, if you are going to fly, don't chat with your friends at the same time."

"I'm sorry Scotty."

Kayo felt Scott tense up beside her at the nickname, "just a lesson, Brandon."

"Right, are we having a party or what?" Brandon grinned. "Someone get the fizz!"

"We should be getting back to our base actually," Scott yawned and turned away.

"But dude come on, one drink?"

"I don't drink and fly."

"It doesn't have to be alcoholic. Please, Scotty? It's the least I can do for causing you trouble."

Scott gritted his teeth, "still causing me trou..."

"Alright one drink," Virgil spoke over Scott's rambling. "Then we have to go."

Scott leant against the railings of the boat watching Brandon talking to Kayo and Virgil walked over, "don't even start Virgil."

"I hadn't even opened my mouth. He's just a kid Scott, we've all been his age."

"Not for a while though, and you guys were nowhere near as bad."

"Not even Gordon?"

Scott shrugged, "alright one exception, but he hasn't changed since. I wonder how dad put up with us at that age?"

"You don't remember? All the shouting and being told off for doing something stupid. You weren't a perfect kid Scott, and that's probably why Brandon idolises you, you're still an adrenaline junky."

"But?"

"Face it, you are. You should probably make amends before we go home, which is about now."

Scott sighed, "I guess so."

"See you in the skies," Virgil walked over to Brandon and shook his hand before going back to Thunderbird 2 to free himself from the floats.

"Umm Brandon?" Scott tapped the kid on the shoulder.

"Are you going, Scotty? Aww man, I was hoping you could stay longer, your sister is really cool by the way."

"Sorry kid, we've got other jobs to do. I just wanted to give you some advice. Test your machines before using them for luxury, it might keep you out of trouble."

"Oh, I will dude, no more risks, I've learnt my lesson."

"Okay good. See you around Brandon," Scott smiled before walking back to Thunderbird 1 with Kayo.

"That was nice of you Scott."

"It's the least I could do, there's no point leaving on a bad note. Race you home?"

"You're on," Kayo smiled and leapt into Shadow immediately taking off.

Scott followed in Thunderbird 1, "you're such a cheat."

"That's why you fell in love with me, for my tricks."

Scott smirked, "true. Thanks, Kayo."

"For what?"

"Everything."

Kayo giggled to herself, "you're my everything too."

Thunderbird 1 held back to wait for Shadow to catch up, and the two 'birds flew close together their wings almost touching.
