Ok, so I decided to change this story up a bit, it's pretty much the same except Gordon disappeared when he was three and his family has been looking for him ever since. I decided to make him three because I'm giving his sister an identical memory so she remembers her brother (but he doesn't remember her). I thought this would make it more interesting as my last story had Gordon stolen away before he could meet his real family, and I thought that him being stolen at 3 would make it easier for them to find and remember him.

Also: Lucy will be alive!


Jeff Tracy couldn't be happier, he had a loving wife, and he had 6 healthy kids.

5 of them were currently running around in the park with some other kids playing tag. first, there was Scott, named after a Mercury 7 astronaut. most people would say that Scott was a mirror image of jeff when he was younger, he had the same sky blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. at the age of 8, Scott was a natural leader and a big brother, even when he was playing he would constantly look out for his younger siblings.

Next up was Virgil, also named after a Mercury 7 astronaut, he was a lot like his mother, gentle, kind, and had a talent for music and art, but he looked a lot like Jeff's father when he was young with the jet black hair. At the age of 7, he followed Scott around like a lost puppy, always copying him, especially when it came down to his younger siblings.

After Virgil came John, also named after a Mercury 7 Astronaut, even though he was only 6, John was hereby the quietest of his brothers, preferring to spend his days reading books under the shade of trees. like he was doing now. John resembled his wife; Lucy's father in many ways, he had the same red hair and turquoise eyes. But just because he was quiet, didn't mean he didn't look out for his siblings, even though it looked like he was engrossed in his reading, he would always be listening to his surroundings. If one of his younger or older siblings was upset, he would immediately drop his book and run to help.

Then came the twins, named Gordon and Kathryn respectively, both named after astronauts. Both twins had the same strawberry blonde hair and amber eyes, but that's where the similarities ended, Gordon was loud, cheeky and loved getting wet and causing trouble, already at the age of 3, Gordon was already causing trouble at kindergarten and lucy had to be called in 5 times this month to discuss his behaviour. while his sister Kathryn or 'Katie' as she had been dubbed by her older brothers (Gordon was older 2 minutes) was the complete opposite. She was smart, quiet (but not as quiet as John), hated getting wet and preferred to stay out of trouble. Sometimes Jeff would wonder if there was a mix up at the hospital, but it didn't make any difference, he loved all his children equally.

Finally, there was Alan, the youngest of the Tracy family, even though he was only a year old, he was loved by all his siblings, with blonde hair and baby blue eyes he looked a lot like Jeff's mother when she was young. Jeff only hoped that his cooking skills were better than hers!

Jeff turned his gaze back towards Lucy and saw her frowning, he saw that she was looking at the kids and turned his head towards them, after a few minutes, his eyes widened in realization at what Lucy had noticed. "where's Gordon?"

Meanwhile, Gordon was blissfully unaware of the stir his disappearance had caused. he had seen a bright blue butterfly fly past him and he wanted to see it better, so without telling Scott, he followed it. he followed the butterfly as it flew further and further away from his family before landing on a flower. he sat on the ground so he wouldn't startle the creature. unknownst to him, he was being watched by a man on a bench a few meters away. just then the butterfly took off from the flower and flew high into the sky, Gordon watched it fly away sadly before standing up, he glanced around and realized that he couldn't see his brothers anywhere. Gordon began to feel panicked as he had never been in this area of the park before.

"Hey there kid," a deep voice behind him said, he turned around and saw a tall man with brown hair and green eyes staring at him "you ok?"

"I don't know where my family is" Gordon replied in a shaky voice

"hey, that's no problem, do you remember where they are?" at Gordon's shake of the head the man straightened and held out his hand "come on, we'll find them" Gordon sniffed and took the strange man's hand. "so, what's your name kid?"

"Gordon"

"Nice to meet you Gordon, my names Liam"

Liam walked with no destination in particular, he reached into his pocket and pulled out chocolate, "here" he said and handed the chocolate to Gordon "you must be hungry, got to keep you're strength up if you want to find your family" Gordon took the chocolate

"thank you" he mumbled, remembering his manners and unwrapped the chocolate and put it in his mouth. after swallowing it, he began to feel sleepy, he struggled to keep his eyes open as the world began to spin. "what's..." he said weekly as he collapsed into the man's arms and the world went black...


ok, so I'm much happier with this version of the story. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a review.

I wanted to keep Lucy alive in this story because that's how they're going to find Gordon. as to how" you'll have to wait and see!

not sure when the next chapter will come, so be patient!
