The Tracy family, having stopped in shock, where still unable to move as they tried to make sense of what they saw.
Scott sat in his bed, which was now covered in lilies and perched on top of the roof patio next to a flight of winding stairs. On the ground before him Alan sat at a piano with Gordon nearby holding a gleaming guitar. Identical grins placed smugly on the faces of the two youngest Tracy's.
"After you dear boy." Gordon stated to Alan in a fake British tone.
Alan politely replied in a matching fake British accent. "Oh no after you."
"No, no, no, do go first; I'm not really good at the high bits. Much better low." Gordon insisted.
"Oh we'll see..." Alan mocked before he started to hum and play the piano. "Hm hm hm hmm."
"1, 2, and..." Gordon counted down.
"The western wind is blowing fair,
across the dark Aegean Sea" Sang Alan.
"And at the secret marble stair,
My Tyrian galley waits for thee." Gordon began to sing in response.
The two began to sing the modified lyrics together.
"Come down, the purple sail is spread,
The watchman sleeps within the town.
Oh leave thy lily flowered bed.
Oh brother of mine, come down!
Come down,
Scotty come down.
Come down,
Scotty come down.
Oh Scotty come down.
He will not come I know him well,
Of brother's vows he hath no care.
And little good a man can tell,
Of one so cruel and so fair."
"True fun is but a brother's toy,
they never know their brother's pain." Alan sang looking up at Scott.
"And I who laughed as laughed a boy,
Must laugh in vain." Followed Gordon, failing to mimic Alan's sad look.
The two joined in harmony again.
"Must laugh in vain!
Come down,
Scotty come down.
Come down,
Scotty come down."
"I think your high notes may have damaged our chances old boy. You do want him to come down, don't you?" Complained Alan.
Gordon huffed. "Well, he is never gonna come down if you're singing like that. You're completely out of tune."
"How dare you!" The young blonde indignantly replied.
"I'll take this bit." Gordon stated stepping forward.
"You leave this to me. You go have a lie down old man." Insisted Alan.
"No I'll take this bit." The swimmer reiterated.
"Out of my way, I'm coming through!"Alan exclaimed, wheeling the piano forward.
Giving up Gordon conceded. "Go easy, my dear fellow."
Alan resumed singing.
"COME DOOOOOWWWNNN!
Come down,
Scotty come down."
"Over doing it, less is more." Gordon intoned.
"Come down,
Scotty come down." Alan continued ignoring his brother. "That wasn't so bad, was it? Hmmm hm hhhhmmmmm." He hummed.
After glancing at the gaping Scott, Gordon turned to Alan.
"Maybe he's not going to come down? Do you think we should go up? Maybe we should go up."
"Gordon you always talk nonsense."
"Well it's better than listening to it." Gordon taunted.
Choosing to ignore Gordon once more, Alan sang his last line in a deep voice. "Scotty come doooown."
"Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-dooooo." Finished Gordon.
With Cheshire cat grins, Alan and Gordon exchanged high fives at the successful completion of their training exercise. The rest of the island inhabitants, excluding Scott, started to applaud the two pranksters.
Scott, finally gaining his bearings, began to yel. He threw the blankets off him, lilies and all.
"Alan! Gordon! When I get you two, I am going to maim you beyond any hopes of recovery! Even Virgil won't be able to fix you up once I am through with you." He hollered, the large grin on his face retracting from the effectiveness of the threat. He thundered down the stairs.
Sharing a look Alan and Gordon took off in a sprint towards the beach and across the sand laughing.
"We are so dead!" Gordon panted.
"No, I'm fine as long as I out run you." Alan smirked, knowing he was the fastest Tracy. Being the youngest had taught him to be quick both physically and mentally.
"What!" Exclaimed Gordon. "You plan to abandon your partner in crime?" He threw a hurt look at Alan.
Smile growing Alan told him.
"Gordon, I may love you and you're my best friend, but when a raging Scotty is chasing us… I'm tripping you."
