Sorry this has taken so long to complete, I had this written, but on my computer (and I'm on my parents) and since my computer is a tempermental , I just got around to tweaking it to get this up. And I'm trying on my other 2, but my obsession with a certain crime drama and a certain gorgeous man on it is making it difficult to concentrate on the Tracys. But I'm trying. Thanks for reviewing, I really to appreciate it! And now to the finale...

Disclaimer: The Thunderbirds belong to other people. And the line from the 3 Doors Down song "Landing in London" that is quoted belongs to the band and is off their CD "Seventeen Days"

I'll use your light to guide the way.

-3 Doors Down "Landing in London"

Epilogue

one month later

The family, plus Brains, Kyrano, Onaha, and Tin-Tin, were gathered in the command area watching the news broadcast.

"International Rescue has just released this announcement," the reporter said. "We are pleased to announce that International Rescue is now operational once more and can respond to any emergency calls that come to us."

The room's occupants looked around with smiles. Then everyone headed out to the patio, where Scott, Gordon, Alan, and Tin-Tin all jumped in the pool while John and Virgil sat poolside. Jeff manned the grill while Kyrano helped his wife set up the table with other food and drinks. John got up a few minutes later and made a couple of drinks for himself and Virgil.

"This is how it should be," John sighed as he sat back down after handing Virgil his drink.

"Yes, it is," Virgil agreed. They clinked their glasses together and each took a sip.

The two poolside brothers noticed that the three brothers in the pool were all huddled together and whispering amongst themselves. And the two poolside brothers knew that the others were up to something.

"I think we have incoming," Virgil said, setting his drink down.

"I think we do too," John concurred.

The three got out of the pool, walking its edge until they reached the other two.

"On your feet," Scott ordered with a grin.

"Nah-uh," Virgil said, shaking his head. "I have no desire to get wet."

"I'm with him," John added, pointing to Virgil.

"Well, we have a desire to get you wet," Gordon replied.

"And there are three of us and only two of you," Alan added.

After a silent stare-off that lasted for a minute, John and Virgil exchanged glances.

"Screw it?" John asked Virgil.

"Screw it," Virgil answered.

In a move that surprised the three dripping wet brothers, the other two jumped from their chairs and rushed forward. They tackled the three of them, sending all five flying into the pool. Tin-Tin, who was wisely at the other end of the pool, laughed as she got rocked by the waves. Brains, Kyrano and Onaha all looked on with amusement, and Jeff couldn't help but laugh.

He finally felt like things were back to normal.
