Alan Tracy is walking around Tracy Island. The previous day he had his 14th birthday and he had news from his father that he was bringing someone home from London Heathrow Airport (LHR). Alan was told to wait in the lobby and keep his coms on, when John calls him "Alan, you'll never guess who this person is."

This confused Alan as his hardly knew anyone outside his family due to his place of residence. "Who?" Alan asks.

"Well you may remember Kyrano, dad's best friend, he unfortunately passed away a couple of days ago and no-one can look after his daughter and in his will he asked dad to look after her so she's coming with dad," John replies.

Alan is left in shock. If he had heard this right his crush is coming to live on Tracy Island with them. "Hang on a second. Let me get this straight, Kayo is coming to live with us," Alan questions in slight shock as he sees John's hologram nod he just screams "Oh sh—!"

"What was that Tracy?" a voice asks and Alan quickly turns around to come face to face with Col. Jeff Tracy standing a few feet away from him with a very shy Kayo.

"Erm... coms off," Alan says and ends the transmission with John and turns back to his dad. "Well...hi dad...and great to see you again Kayo, sorry about that, John was just being a pain in the backside," he said sheepishly.

Jeff was not impressed about the language his 14 year old son had used but he knew why Alan was freaking out as he hadn't seen Kayo in a long time and the pair got on quite well in the past. "Well Alan I would like you to show Kayo around the island so she knows where everything is," says Jeff and Alan nods hastily.

"Sure," he replies with and turns slightly to face Kayo, "Erm... follow me Kayo I'll show you round the place."

Kayo, 16 years old, still didn't know what to expect, she and Alan had been friends for a long time but after International Rescue was set up in 2056 they hadn't seen each other and this upset Kayo but she had to carry on with her life until a few weeks ago when her father died leaving no-one to look after her which really brought her down. Now seeing Alan again has confused her as she had never seen him to act worried or even nervous around her before.

Alan's POV

Wow, Kayo has changed so much. I cannot believe that she's coming to live with us on Tracy Island. Yes, I had a small crush on her a few years ago but OMG she looks more beautiful that before, which I cannot quite comprehend. Though, she does seem very shy, maybe I should try and start a conversation with her. "How are you coping as I understand you two were very close?" I ask.

"Alright I guess, but it's been a lonely experience and I think being 16 I need to have family and friends surrounding me more than ever," Kayo says looking at the ground and starts tearing up.

Shit, is all I can think so I pull her into a hug. "Thanks Alan, you've been such a good friend to me over all these years. I couldn't ask for someone better than you, as you're the only one who has ever properly been there constantly for me other than my father," she sniffles.

I felt like a knife had stabbed through my heart when she says says this and I decide to sling an arm around her shoulder.

Normal POV - 20:13 NZDT

Alan walks out to Tracy 1 to collect Kayo's belongings after insisting and finds 5 large suitcases which are around 20kg each and takes them into her room. He stumbles in to find Kayo face down sitting on her bed which was upsetting for Alan to see. He slowly walks over to the bed and hugs Kayo tightly and he hear's her mumble; "He's coming for me."

Alan is confused at this but doesn't question it all that matters to him was to look after Kayo to the best of his ability. "It's alright Kayo I'll look after you and no-one has ever found the island only my family and your dad knew where it is," but Alan regretted immediately mentioning her dad as she started to tear up more.

Jeff is walking pass Kayo's room when he hear's a calm voice and desides to have a peak and sees his youngest son comforting a girl he sees as the daughter he never had. A small smile creeps on his face and realises that these two may have a future together.
