Massachusetts
Jeff, Brains, Kyrano, Alan, Fermat, Tin-Tin and Melinda sat in the limo on the way to Alan and Fermat's school.
"Boys," said Jeff. "We'll move you both in first, then we will drive to the girl's school."
"O.K," Alan said, returning back to his gaming magazine.
Wharton Academy
Melinda was lugging one of Alan's boxes out of the elevator, when she bumped into somebody and sent the stuff she was carrying flying.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry," said Melinda, putting her box down and coming face to face with Rob Echolls. His father was one of the agents for IR and ever since Melinda could remember she had a crush on him.
"It's all right, Mel, it's my own fault." He pushed his hair back out of his face. "So, how was your summer?"
"Same old, same old," she said. "How was were your holidays?"
"Just played some video games, watched TV, played some soccer. You know, boring stuff," he said, laughing.
Melinda smiled. "I know what you mean."
"So," he said, changing the subject. "Are you trying out for the soccer team this year?"
"Yeah," said Melinda. "I've played for the school team ever since I've been here. Tryouts are tomorrow."
"Good luck; I'll be rooting for you," he said, smiling.
"Thanks," she said.
Alan appeared. "Melinda!" he shouted."Come on!"
"Bye," said Melinda, walking off.
"See you," whispered Rob, watching Melinda's departing back.
Melinda's room
An hour later, Melinda walked into her room.
"Mel!" shouted a girl. Suddenly she was wrapped in a hug.
"Hey George," said Melinda, smiling brightly. "You look fantastic."
"So do you; I love your highlights," said George, admiring Melinda's hair.
"Thanks. You remember my dad, don't you?" asked Melinda.
"Hey, Mr.T! What's up?" asked George.
"Hello, Georgina, how are you?" asked Jeff
"I'm peachy, Mr T. And, please, call me George, not Georgina," she asked.
"George," said Melinda. "You remember my brother, Alan, and our friends, Fermat and Tin-Tin."
"Of course," said George.
"This is Professor Hackenbacker, Fermat's father, and Mr.Belegant, Tin-Tin's father."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both," she said, shaking their hands. She turned her attention to Melinda. "Let's get you unpacked."
Four and a half hours later, the Tracys, Hackenbackers and Belegants had finished dinner and began returning the kids to their dorms. Alan, Fermat and Tin-Tin had been dropped off and now was Melinda's turn.
"Goodbye, Kyrano, tell Onaha thank you for the blueberry muffins."
"Goodbye, Miss Tracy, I will do that."
"Goodbye, Brains."
"Goodbye, Melinda. I'll send you that new article when it comes," he stuttered.
"Thanks, Brains."
10 minutes later.
Jeff and Melinda stood outside her room. Melinda noticed her dad's anxiousness; for a man as brilliant as Jeff Tracy, he wasn't good with the emotional side of things.
"Just hug me and tell me you'll miss me, Dad," said Melinda, trying to make things easier for Jeff.
Jeff looked at his daughter and hugged her. "I'll miss you."
"You to dad," said Melinda softly.
"Be a good kid," he said.
"When have I been anything but?" she asked.
"You know what I mean," said Jeff.
"Yeah," she said. "You better go; knowing Gordon, some chaos has happened."
Jeff laughed. "See you at Thanksgiving; bye," said Jeff, walking off.
"Bye," said Melinda, waving at her father's disappearing back.
A\N: I hope you all liked and here is a preview of chapter 3.
The alarms began ringing on Tracy Island; the boys rushed into Command and Control for their briefing.
Jeff rushed into the room. "Where to, John?" he asked, addressing the screen where John was shown, sitting in Thunderbird Five.
"A fireworks factory in England; two people are trapped inside," John said, looking at his father and brothers.
Jeff rushed into his lift. "Thunderbirds are go."
