Thunderbirds Are Go Sweets & Rescues!

Chapter Seven: Space Race!

The peaceful ocean is brought into view as some seagulls fly overhead. Tracy Island is quickly zoomed in on before Thunderbird Three is shown in its launch sequence. Alan already sat inside Thunderbird Three.

"Pre-flight complete!" Alan announces.

"Roger, Thunderbird Three. The skies are clear. Good luck on your mission." John responds.

"Starting countdown to launch." Alan says, "Three... Two... One..." Thunderbird Three's thrusters ignite with smoke as Alan takes into the sky.

Elaina looks up as she watches Thunderbird Three fly up into the sky away from the island. Today, Elaina's hair was tied into a beautiful bun. Before Scott left for his mission, Scott had taken a look at Elaina and his face flushed a bright red. He was a stuttering mess as well. Elaina wondered as to why.

"Thunderbird Three is Go!" Alan exclaims over the comms, and Alan heads up into space to clean up space junk, "It's going to be a long day."

"Awe, it's not so bad." Elaina says as she heads into the mission deployment room to read.

"How come Scott and Gordon get to do high class missions while I get stuck with cleaning duty?" Alan asks.

"Someone has to do it." John points out.

"And isn't it you that is always complaining that you never get to take Thunderbird Three out enough?" Elaina asks with a raised eyebrow in hologram form. Alan's cheeks flush red before he mutters.

"Me and my big mouth." Alan mutters and Thunderbird Three snags something and stops him, "Hmm? What was that?"

"What was what?" Elaina asks. He turns Thunderbird Three and he looks ahead at what jerked him back. He blinks confused at it.

"Hey, there's something up ahead." Alan announces.

"You sure it isn't dirt on your portal again?" Elaina asks. Alan leans forward to wipe his portal.

"Nope, it's out there alright." Alan responds, "And that means I get to go out for a wander."

"Any excuse." John mocks, slightly and Elaina rolls her eyes as she giggles. Alan heads out and he scans what he's looking at while he flies around it.

"Are you getting this, Thunderbird Five?" Alan asks.

"Affirmative." John confirms.

"What is it?" Elaina asks, and John shows her, "Yeah, that still doesn't tell me anything."

"I'm running a trace, Thunderbird Three." John says. Alan wipes a screen on it and the weird thing begins counting down.

"Uh, John, this thing is on." Alan exclaims in shock.

"It's on?!" Elaina asks in shock.

"Alan, you need to get out of there right now!" John warns.

"Uh, right!" Alan says and he quickly returns to Thunderbird Three.
