Thunderbirds: Back to the 20s

Back to the 20s Part 2

The next evening, Jeff had told Alan and Tin Tin that they were wanted in the bedroom Brains was in since he wanted to see them.

"Good, y-you're here." Brains said when Alan and Tin Tin appeared.

"Yeah. So, when do we get to go?" Alan said.

"B-be patient, Alan, we'll, uh, go but first, we m-must change into the right clothes. Like, w-what I'm wearing." Brains said.

For the first time, Alan noticed that Brains wasn't wearing his lab outfit or any clothes from 2065. As Tin Tin and Alan looked at him, Brains wore white pants, a white jacket, a light blue shirt, a white tie and white shoes and by the look of things, he looked like something out of one of those gangster movies Scott loved so much.

Alan and Tin Tin tried not to laugh but it didn't work and they started getting the giggles until the tears ran down their faces and their sides ached.

"Very interesting, Brains. Is that what they wore in 1925?" asked Tin Tin said for the first time.

"Well, y-yes," Brains said feeling rather embarrased. "Come with me. I've g-got a closer with lots of clothes from the 1920's."

Alan, Brains and Tin Tin walked over to the closet. There were over a hundred clothes from the 20's there.

"Gee whizz, how did you get all of those clothes?" Alan asked.

"Gordon and I w-went to the 1920's. I want you all to, uh, experience the culture of d-different time periods. Well, hurry up and choose an outfit. If we w-want to leave now, we have to be quick." Brains said.

Alan looked in the closet. There were many things that he wouldn't be caught dead in. He chose a brown jacket similar to Gordon's gray one, brown pants, a green shirt, a blue tie and brown shoes. He tried walking but he almost tripped.

"Gee, Brains, this is good but it's a little hard to walk!" Alan said.

"You'll g-get used to it. Is Tin Tin r-ready?" Brains asked.

At that moment, Tin Tin stepped out. She wore a light blue tailored jacket, a dark blue long sleeved dress with a short skirt and a lowered waistline, flesh colored stockings and dark blue T-bar strapped shoes.

"Well, it's p-plain but it's, uh, true to the t-time period," said Brains as he picked up a box that was on the table and set it on the floor. "In this box, there are loads of a-accessories. Choose some."

Alan put on some expensive looking sunglasses and Tin Tin put on a pair of peral earrings, a pearl necklace and pearl bracelets.

"Well, we're ready." Tin Tin said.

"Yeah. Gee, I don't suppose we have to look like idiots?" Alan said.

"No, it's n-not necessary," Brains answered. "Now let's get to the time machine!"

They walked into the lab where they saw a large box which appeared to be the time machine and stared at it. Brains opened the door to the time machine. He set the time circuits to July 2nd 1925 6:30am, Chicago, Illinois. Brains and Gordon had put in a new feature which let anyone who entered the time machine to travel to places as well as times.

"Okay, Alan, Tin Tin, g-get in and let's go." Brains said.

Brains got in first and both Alana and Tin Tin followed behid him. As soon as the door was closed, the time machine started. As soon as the three of them heard a loud bang, some loud 1920s jazz music was playing in the background.

"What was that for?" Alan asked raising an eyebrow.

"I just w-wanted to, uh, get into the m-mood of things." Brains said as he smiling sheepishly.

Gordon entered the lab, removed his jacket, put his lab coat on and turned on the time co-ordinates and the time machine started to rumble and then burst into a flash of light sending his younger brother, Brains and Tin Tin back to 1925.
