1. Alan + Gordon - Pizza, adore, wonder

It was sensational. It was epic. And it was something that had never been done before.

"Are you sure this will work?" Alan asked, a hair's breadth away from wringing his hands together.

"Of course it'll work," Gordon replied, calling up his older brother's holocall symbol. The little orange triangle pulsed like a heartbeat. "Johnny won't be able to resist. If he does, it'll be the eighth wonder of the world!"

Alan flopped down onto the couch, mumbling something about not using the nickname or else the whole plan would be derailed before it even got started.

After a moment, John's hologram appeared.

"Gordon," he said, all business and no pleasure as usual. "How can I help?"

"Johnny," Gordon said, ignoring Alan's wince. "Do I ever have a mission for you."

"A mission?" John asked, one eyebrow quirking. "What on Earth do you mean?"

Gordon clasped his hands behind his back and gave his older brother his most adoring smile.

"Well, you know how you're the best big brother in the world, and you're really good with the space elevator? I have a request…"

Two hours later, the plan was complete. For, as Gordon had predicted, John could not resist.

The three brothers sat in a conspiratorial triangle, cross-legged on the floor and inhaling the beautiful scene as Gordon opened the cardboard box.

Inside, there was a pizza – double pepperoni with extra cheese, picked up by the space elevator and hand delivered by John himself.

Each brother plucked up a piece, long strings of cheese stretching as they did.

"Bon appetite!" Gordon said.

John didn't reply – but there was the tiniest of smiles on his face. Gordon winked at Alan, then attended to the pizza heaven before him. Epic plan, he thought. Epic.
