"Mum" I jumped up and down tugging her skirt
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I need to go on this mission" Mum replied bending down and pecking my hairline before she walked off

I stared after the pink car. Sad that mum had left me for another mission

"Come on Lily, let's go" Jeff came over and offered a hand
I smiled at him sadly placing my small hand in his bigger one. He led me back into the house and over to the living room where everyone was sat.

"Lils" Gordon wrapped me in a hug
"Hi Gordy" I giggled hugging my brother
"We are gonna watch Pirates of the Caribbean" he told me taking me to the sofa
He sat down by the arm, meaning I was stuck between him and John.

A few hours later we'd finished the film and it was now sunset, meaning swimming time on the island. I hate this time, because only Alan and I can't swim, so we get stuck watching the boys

"Hi" I greeted Alan sitting on the sunbathing bench beside him as his brothers ran out
"Hey" he sighed

~~~~~~~

"Hi I'm Lily Penelope Jane Ward" I introduced myself holding a hand forward
"Tintin" Tintin replied shaking my hand
"So why are you here?" She asked
"My mum leaves me here when she has missions" I smiled and she nodded
"I'm here cause my parents were hired to keep the island clean" Tintin said
"That's nice. Mum has Parker for that for our house." I told her

We spent the next half hour sitting and talking getting to know each other

"LILY!" I heard Jeff calling my name
"I got to go. I'll see you around. Friends?" I stood up
"Friends" Tintin nodded
I smiled at her before I turned and went to find the man shouting C for me

~~~~~~

I chased after Fermat to the Main Office for the team, Alan joined us as we passed through the kitchen.
"Shove off" I shoved him when he slid into me
"I'll shove you into the pool" he grinned and we kept running

"Dad?" Alan asked as we stopped by the controls Brains was sitting at
"Sorry Alan, duty calls" Scott ruffled his youngest brothers hair going to his portrait

I looked up at Gordon as he passed me
"Volcano eruption" he mouthed and I nodded understanding

Out of all the Tracy boys, although they all acted like my big brothers, Gordon was more like an actual brother. We looked more alike as well with the blonde hair.
In all honesty, we just had the same humour

"Thunderbirds are go" Jeff said and the four of them shoot down to the planes
"And we get to watch it on TV" I jumped over to turn on the news
"Or, we could go on the missions." Alan groaned walking away

I looked behind me and my eyes meet Fermat's, I shrugged and turned the TV on.

"YOURE BACK!" I cheered when the four Tracy's walked into the living room
"We're back Lilypad" Gordon jumped over the back of the sofa and sat beside me
Alan, Fermat, Tintin and I had put on a movie to watch, so we were all lounging around

"Lily your mum will be here within the hour" Jeff said walking passed and I nodded with a smile
"You're leaving?" Virgil asked
"Yeah, my school decided to start early this year, just means I finish earlier" I shrugged
"We'll miss you" Scott said pulling me into a hug
"I won't" Alan complained
"Nobody asked if you would" Tintin laughed at him and I smirked as he looked embarrassed

~~~~~~~

I was sitting in the country mansion playing the piano, a random tango.

"Lily, come here" mum called me to her

I looked over at her, and stood gently closing my pianos keys lid down

"Yes?" I asked
"I need your help. I have a mission for you" she said and my eyes went wide

"HOW COME SHE GETS TO GO!" Alan shouted
"Because Lily has been doing basic training with Lady P. AND Lily is the only girl suited for the job" Jeff replied calmly
"Why can't I go?" Alan asked
"You're not 18 little brother, that's why. Lils at least looks 17 even though she's only 16" Scott replied

"He.....this isn't fair" Alan stormed out

I looked up sadly, I didn't want to do this, well I do to prove that I'm ready. But, I'm scared I'll ruin everything, and I feel terrible that Alan can't go as well
I watched Jeffs face fall and he sighed before looking up at me

"It's simple Lily. Just crawl through the shaft, grab the plan and get out" he said
I nodded sadly
"Don't worry about Alan, he doesn't understand" Jeff said putting his hands on my shoulders. Again I nodded

Okay that's a very very vague background and I'm sorry it's not longer I can't think of much else to write
