Scott woke up the next morning feeling fatigued and queasy,.it was obvious he had a hangover. He got up and saw the peace of paper Marion gave him on his delsk, so Scott picked up his phone and texted Marion.

Teh text conversation:

Scott: Morning sunshine 🌄

Marion: Good morning.

Scott: How did you sleep??

Marion: Like a log. Got a hangover.

Scott: Same.

Marion: You slept like a log or you got a hangover?


Scott: Both.

Marion: fair enough, we had a lot to drink last night.


Scott: True lol.

Marion: I GTG now, text you later?

Scott: sure, have a nice day.

Marion: thx, you too.





Scott closed WhatsApp with a sigh and a smile, happy he'd spoken to her again.



Scott got dressed and went to the kitchen to make a coffee, Virgil was sat at the table.

Vigil: you look happy.

Scott: what do ya mean? I just texted Marion, that's all.

Virgil: Oh really? What did she say?

Scott: Just hello, good morning, normal stuff.

Vigil: Right.

Gordon walked in, he was clearly hungover too

Scott: God, you look awful.

Gordon: Your not lookin your best either, bro.

Scott: I mean I know I look bad, but seriously are you ok?

Gordon: No. Now here's a good question: hangover cure?

Scott: No idea.

Virgil: Drink lots of fluids and eat carbohydrates, drink tea or coffee or take some paracetamol.

Gordon: Thanks Virg.

Alan walks in and looks around at his brother's

Alan: Why does everyone look half asleep?

Gordon: alcohol.

Alan: Well lucky for me I'm too young for it.

Scott: I will warn you now, don't EVER have alcohol.

Alan: Why not?

Scott: Because it's not good for you and it destroys your liver.

Alan: ok, but how come you and the rest of our brothers had it? If it's not good for you you shouldn't drink it.

Scott: Because- ... Actually not all of us are hungover, Vigil and John didn't have any alcohol at all.

Virgil: Yeah, because I knew I'd be flying Thunderbird 2 home.

Alan: Actually where is John?

Gordon: Probably back on Thunderbird 5 already.

Virgil: Can you blame him? Socialising with social anxiety can't be fun.

Gordon: True.









The room went silent



















Gordon: So Scott, what happened with you and Marion?

Gordon smirked

Scott: Well, we got drinks, we danced, talked, I got her number-

Gordon: wait, you two dance?!

Scott: Yeah.

Gordon: But you don't even know how to dance.

Scott: I know, neither did Marion, thought.

Gordon: That's so romantic!

Scott: what, stumbling around like idiots in a bar?

Gordon: yes! Come on, you like her, admit it!

Vigil: Oh it's obvious Scott likes her, he's just too scared to admit it.

Scott: ok, ok, fine. I like Marion! Happy?

Gordon: Very.

John's hologram came on

John: International Rescue, we have a situation.

Scott: what is it, John?

John: Rock slide on Sca Fell in the lake District left two climbers stranded, one injured.

Scott: I'm on my wa-

Virgil: Actually Scott, how about you let me handle this while you let your hangover wear off? Rest for a while.

Scott: Ugh, fine, but be careful.

Virgil: F.A.B

Vigil went to get ready and launch Thunderbird 2
