Aaaaaaaahhhhh....when I sleep with Lady Penelope by my side, it's pure Heaven. I've done that with her ever since I was a baby, and I've never grown out of it. We sleep face to face in case of a bad dream, specifically ones where Scott and the others bully me or The Hood tries to catch me. But when I really want to feel safe, Lady Penelope encourages me to slowly place my hand in hers, so it feels like we're intimately connecting. That way, our bond strengthens, just like...er...okay, that part about drinking milk is too raunchy for this blog post. Lady Penelope always keeps me safe and warm at night, and whenever there are monsters around which I know there probably aren't, Lady Penelope fights them off with reassurance and love. 

Scott Vs Marina

Scott has been hungover for the last few days. He knew Marina was going to steal the show, and she did, in the form of her very own international rescue day. Mind you, sometimes when you make Marina listen to the song she's inspired by, she goes so mad she'll strike at you with a hammer, a mallet, or a machete! Marina has emotional dysregulation issues and behavioural problems, but only when she listens to songs about her - and she's not even popular on dry land yet. She prefers to be at home in the sea. The ocean is so cosy, and she prefers to play with dolphins and hug fish rather than listen to songs about her and slave away under the sweltering hot sun. Scott, you should know that Marina is the true star today. Your services will no longer be required.

Spectrum Cheeseballs

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, since Mysterons are specifically fond of Cheeseballs, they have become the ultimate official food of Spectrum. Before Captain Black caused the Mysterons to invade Earth, Captain Scarlet and Blue used to be best friends and watched footie on the telly all the time. And guess what they had to eat whenever a glorious game came on? Thaaaaaaaat's right -  cheeseballs! Don't tell the folks at Anderson Entertainment, but Colonel White loves Cheeseballs too. So does Destiny Angel, even though she and the other Angels are supposed to watch their figure. Spectrum used to deliver cheeseballs to people, and were sponsors for every footie match on TV. Well, when Captain Scarlet got diagnosed with PTSD following 100 Greatest Scary Moments...IT. WAS. OVER. 

The Travellers

Based on the anime Laid-Back Camp.

Lady Penelope, Parker, Brains, Alan, Tin Tin, Jeff and I are campers travelling around the world and visiting new campsites, trying new things and foods and learning different customs, all while having fun and relaxing along the way.

And here's the template I'm going to use to write every story in the anthology:

Orko Eats

After Orko wakes up with a morning headache and takes some paracetamol, he gets a nasty case of Trollan Munchies, a symptom of a Trollan recovering from a headache, and eats anything he finds delectable from the fridge. Kiburi, Ua and Furaha help him with his cravings and lead him upstairs for a well earned nap.

Clifford Vs Rainbow Dash

In 2013, during a Tiny Pop gathering, Rainbow Dash runs into another loyal person - Clifford The Big Red Dog - while showing off her skills to Fluttershy. The two argue over who's the most loyal, so Rainbow challenges Clifford to a series of games to prove how loyal they are to both Rainbow's friends and Clifford's friends. Which one will remain victorious, do you think?

The Life Of Nature

Lady Penelope and I live in nature, in a beautiful meadow. On one sunny day, we wander across a field of long grass, creating a long tunnel and a little nook for us to rest in. In the comfort of it all, we decide to make it our home...until it starts to rain, and we head to a cave for warmth and shelter.

Thunderbirds 60th Anniversary Bits: Cuddles In Bed

ME: Lady Penelope....I can't sleep. Can I have a cuddle?

LADY PENELOPE: Okay, darling. After that, it's back to bed for both of us.

(Both of us cuddle softly)

ME: Aaaaawwww....

LADY PENELOPE: Ah, I think you're getting really tired. Let's get you under the covers....there. All soft and warm.

ME: I feel like I'm heaven.

LADY PENELOPE: You're already in heaven. A heaven of love and purity.

ME: Mmmmmmmmm...

LADY PENELOPE: Goodnight, darling. *kisses me on the forehead* Mmmmm...I love you.

(Lady Penelope tucks into bed beside me, yawns and falls asleep)
