Happy Birthday to meeee!

"Xena! it's so good to see you again!" Soph smiled hugging her sister.

"Yeah, you too sis" Xena smiled back hugging Soph back.

"So how have you been?" Soph asked as Aspen jumped up and almost pushed Soph over. "oh hello you" Soph smiled giving Aspen a fuss.

"Diva dog honestly, she's so fussy and demanding" Xena complained.

"Ah don't worry she's cute" Soph smiled as Aspen kissed her.

C" come on, i want you to meet your nieces and nephews" Soph smiled and pulled Xena towards the Kitchen.

(Time skip)

"Thunderbird 5 to Tracy Island we have a situation!" Jamie called out over the coms

"What have you got Thunderbird 5?" Xena asked as she And Aspen came into the lounge. Soph entered just in time to see Aspen diving onto the sofa and barely missing a sleeping Alfie. 

"A high Altitude weather balloon is attempting to fly over Everest and land on the other side. stupid I know, but the name will not surprise you" Ali commented floating above Jamie's head

"Go on surprise me" Xena commented folding her arms. Aspen attempts to mimic Xena.

"Langstrom Fishler" Jamie read out.

"Of all the idiots on planet earth why that ONE?" Xena asked annoyed.

"Who is this Fishler person?" Alfie asked as Aspen scrambled up onto his lap for cuddles. 

"An idiot" Xena groaned.

"Understatement much" Soph scoffed.

"Shush you" Xena snapped.

"Be nice Xee, it's my job to be a bad example, not yours" Soph warned. Xena simply stuck her tongue out at her quad.

"Be nice, or I'll pull it out" Soph threatened as Xena sat there scowling.

"Anyway, he's going to need help, and he's got a crew of five, plus himself with his stupidity, that makes six and a half." Xena smiled

"Why do you enjoy insulting him by calling him stupid?" Soph asked,

"I'm not insulting him, sister dearest." Xena smiled turning to Soph, who raised an eyebrow at her younger quad. "I'm describing him" She smirked before turning back to the hologram of her nephew and older sister.

"Now, there's a storm on the way, a big one, gale force winds, enough to pull, a climber, their equipment and their frostbite off a cliff face and i would rather not send out a search party for you lot in a storm which will mess with even our coms system so be careful, or even better get out before the storm hits, because it's set to last for 3 hours, and you three being the cold weather experts will know that you will be dead if you're on that cliff face when that storm hits" Ali warned.

"Ok enough with the doom and gloom and more to the point, how will we get there? Mimic will take another hour to refuel and the storm hits in three, how will we get there and back on a tank that's only half full?" Alfie asked.

"We won't. we'll have to get a lift from someone." Soph commented.

"VIRGIL! VIRGO! DOVE! WE NEED THUNDERBIRD 2! WHO'S PILOTING?" Xena shouted.

"We have a coms system for a reason Xee, to limit the shouting around the house," Soph told her sister

"Yes but it is more efficient" Xena replied

"Yes, good point it is" Soph replied.

"I'll pilot, dad and uncle Virgo are busy fighting, again," Dove replied walking into the living room.
