My latest story ideas is called A Christmas Walk. Based on 100 Greatest Christmas Moments from Channel 4, it seems Vixen (from Robbie The Reindeer) and I go on a walk across a snow covered Friendship Estate to see how their friends prepare for Christmas. If you've seen 100 Greatest Christmas Moments in the past, give your suggestions on what characters from your favourite entries might be doing on Christmas!
 
This is a Thunderbirds au story I am calling "Jungle Love."

In the jungle, Jeff Tracy and Parker are fast asleep among the leaves, while Brains, Tin Tin and
Alan roughly play together. Lady Penelope sighs gently seeing her tribe and heads off to a more
peaceful part of the jungle to bond with her baby (me). As soon as she approaches a part of the jungle
where she can be alone, she cradles me in her arms and whispers some reassuring words to me,
telling me that all the love of the jungle can be offered as a sacrifice to me, wheras the love of someone
like her will give her the strength she needs to grow and learn.
Later, Lady Penelope goes to the lake to bathe and play with her little one. She anoints me with
pure, fresh water from the lake, then lies in the water, with me resting on her body like an otter's baby
floating on its mother's belly. Here, she feels an aura of calm where none of the tribe can get in her way
of spending time with her baby, as I am the most precious thing in the world to her.
She lifts me high into the air, and I kick my little legs, splashing water all over my mother, which she
enjoys very much.
Later, Lady Penelope is resting in the shade of a tree with me in her arms. She tells me not to
worry about the rest of the tribe, as soon they'll grow to get a better understanding of me and the place I
belong in the world - a special little girl in not just her heart, but everyone's hearts.
She returns to her gorilla-like nest to snuggle down and fall asleep, and I snuggle down to sleep beside
her, glad to have spent a whole day with her. Lady Penelope sings me a gentle, reassuring lullaby in
Swahili, passed down from generation to generation, to send me into a peaceful sleep at last.
So, what do you guys think of my Thunderbirds alternate universe story 'Jungle Love'?

Opening Image (Around words 1 to 0)
Evie, a small 3 year old, is playing at having a tea party with her dollies, when she hears a smash
from downstairs. She goes downstairs to see and finds her mother being beaten by her father, who is
an alcoholic. Noticing his daughter, he takes her doll and throws it into the fireplace. He bellows for her
to go to her room or he'll beat her, so Evie dashes to her room crying.
Set-up (Between words 1 and 0)
Lady Penelope, Parker, Sherbet and my toddler self wake up to another beautiful day in the
mansion. We do our usual morning routine together, and Lady Penelope suggests we go see her friend
Holly, whom she hasn't seen in a while since her wedding day. I cower in fear a little bit, because her
husband might be there, but Penelope reassures me it'll be fine.
Catalyst (Around 0 words)
However, once we arrive, Holly's husband spouts nasty things to us, and almost hits me with his
belt. I have just made friends with Evie, Holly's daughter, but then we had to leave, causing me to burst
into tears and cry all the way home.
Parker finds Lady Penelope shaking in the corner, in tears, because fortunately I was right about Holly's
husband. They decide something has to be done with Holly.
Debate (Between 0 and 0 words )
Lady Penelope, Parker, Sherbet and I host a meeting in the dark basement of the mansion,
explaining what has to be done about Holly and Evie. Parker suggests calling International Rescue to
throw him into the sea, but Penelope refuses, stating International Rescue is only used for big situations
like rescues or fires or ocean eruptions. Suddenly, I belt out "Phone!" and Penelope is confused. Parker
describes this to her ladyship, stating that we should give Holly a phone and let her and Evie stay at the

mansion until her husband is arrested.
Break into Act 2 (At around 0 words)
Lady Penelope at once snaps out of her confusion and states it is a great idea. So while Holly's
husband is out at the pub, she finally gets the courage to call Penelope and ask to stay with her.
Quickly, she and Evie pack their bags and set off to the mansion, where they are welcomed warmly. I
am glad to reunite with Evie again, but then she shows me her broken dolly.
We host a funeral for it in the back garden just as it begins to rain, then throw a piece of paper with
'Holly's Old Life' written on it into the fireplace, meaning Holly's old life is over.
B-Story (Around 0 words)
The B-story focuses on my friendship with Holly's daughter Evie, and Lady Penelope helps us
reconcile, especially after Holly's husband tried to hit me with his belt. Even Parker joins in with his own
brand of humor to make Evie happy.
Fun & Games (From 0 to 0 words)
This is the fun part!
Holly and Evie start a new life with me and my family.
1.We head to the pier for some fish and chips, and Evie and I ride on a kiddie pony ride.
2.Evie and I play with Sherbet, who gently nubbles Evie on the fingers.
3.Parker plays hide and seek with me and Evie while Lady Penelope and Holly watch.
4.Lady Penelope soothes us to sleep by playing her favourite classical piano piece.

additions to the family.
6.We attend a family gathering, where Evie, Sherbet and I play with the other kids.
7.Holly's black and white cat, Kipper, runs all the way from the house to reunite with Evie, where he
becomes well at home.

9.Kipper and Sherbet interact and become best friends.
10.Evie joins me and Lady Penelope in playing our favourite game of dressing up in silly costumes.
11.Holly and Evie join us in going to the beach, where we build sandcastles, relax on the sand and
splash about in the ocean.
Midpoint (At around 0 words)
However, Holly's drunk husband is jealous of all the attention Lady Penelope and us are giving
her, and makes a death threat through the phone ordering Holly to come home or he'll kill her. Holly
refuses, causing a long, loud argument between the couple. Holly smashes the phone to the ground
and runs upstairs crying. Lady Penelope comforts her and tells her that her husband won't be around
for long, as soon he'll have health problems from drinking too much.
Bad Guys Close In (Between 0 and 0)
While Lady Penelope, Parker, Sherbet, Holly, Kipper, Evie and I are out for a drive, a crowd of
angry onlookers march in booing and demanding Lady Penelope and Parker get arrested for domestic
and child abuse charges. The police even arrest me too, even though I haven't done anything. Holly

tries to stop them, and Evie calls out to me, but they're swallowed up by the angry crowd.
All is Lost (Around 0 words)
Now we're sitting on a bench with prison bars above us, pondering what to do next. I begin crying
because I want to see Evie and Kipper again, and Lady Penelope reassures me that maybe since
Holly's husband will die of alcohol poisoning, their lives will go back to normal again.
Dark Night of the Soul (Between 0 and 0 words)
However, their lives hadn't gone back to normal. Evie is sent to her room while Holly's husband
yells at her for running away and betraying him. Holly whimpers that she only wanted to find
somewhere to escape her boring, mundane life, but her husband aims a knife to her heart, which she
slams onto the ground and races upstairs to grab Evie and Kipper and run out the door, despite her
husband screaming for her to come back.
Break into Act 3 (About 0)
Just us Lady Penelope, Parker and I begin to lose hope, suddenly we hear someone break the
prison bars as hard as she could - it's Holly, with Evie, Kipper and Sherbet! They help us out of jail and
we escape just in time, as the police trail after us. However, we stop at Holly's house, where we are
stopped dead in our tracks by police lights shining brightly on us....
Finale (Between 0 and 0)
...but then the police lights point directly towards Holly's husband, who is going to commit suicide
for living a terrible life. Holly, in tears, tells her husband not to jump, but her husband says, "Sorry,
honey....but I've got to do this. Remember me...."
He then leaps off the highest window and lands on the ground, falling to his death. Everyone begins
mourning Holly's husband's death, and one of the police officers apologises to Lady Penelope for the
mix up, and tells her, Parker and me that we are free to go. Hearing this, I tackle Evie to the ground in a
matter of excitement, and Holly, Sherbet, Kipper, Penelope and Parker do too.
Final Image (At 0)
My family and I help Holly and Evie refurbish and decorate their house to make it look as good as
new like it used to, and full of colour, just like it was before Holly's husband came into her life. Once the
house is fully refurbished, Christmas comes around, and we celebrate at Holly's house, where Holly
gifts Evie a new doll. I am moved to silent tears by all this, and Lady Penelope hugs me, telling me that
no matter what happens to me, she'll still always love me, just like Holly loves Evie.
Later, in the mansion, Lady Penelope settles me into bed with her, as we watch the snow falling
outside. A chorus can be heard singing 'Silent Night' outside, ending the story on an emotional note.

So, what do you guys think of my Thunderbirds Are Go (2015) story 'A Beautiful Day In The Mansion'?
 
This story idea of mine was inspired by my trip to an animal farm to see lots of cute and cuddly animals such as reindeer, pigs, goats, geckos and of course two rabbits named Max and Bow Bow.

In this story, which is set in Australia, Furaha the lioness cub, Orko (from the 2002 He Man series), Scooby Doo and Shaggy (they're from What's New Scooby Doo) head off through the outback for a visit to the animal farm. They stop off to get some breakfast at the local diner before heading off to the farm to meet the animals, including kangaroos and two rabbits which Furaha and Scooby immediately befriend in a room where they think up the imaginary story of a war between unicorns and dinosaurs. However, at the end of the trip, Furaha misses Max the rabbit, whom she met, and starts crying, but Shaggy assures her that she'll see him again soon.

So, what do you think?
 
WARNING: This is only a piece of descriptive writing. Someday it'll be turned into a picture book. Anyway, enjoy!

We see two small figures falling in the distance, we can’t figure out who they are yet.

PANEL 2

We get closer towards these figures….

PANEL 3

And closer….

PANEL 4

And closer…..

PANEL 5 - FULL PAGE

Until finally the figures are revealed: my 6 year old self and Lady Penelope, both floating in endless pitch black in just our pyjamas, falling towards nowhere in particular.

PANEL 6

Suddenly, BOI-YOI-YOI-YOI-YOING!! We stop falling with a long and dizzy bounce of energy.

PANEL 7

Now we are floating in endless darkness, looking around to see where we’re going to be led next. Both of us feel scared and unsure.

PANEL 8

Just then, from out of nowhere, glowing white stars form all around us - small, tiny, glistening.

PANEL 9

This panel shows our reactions to the stars forming. I am excited, while Lady Penelope is concerned about the stars - what do they mean?

PANEL 10 - FULL PAGE

Now the whole void is filled with tiny, glistening white stars.

PANEL 11

Just then, streaky white lines burst out of the stars to form one giant glowing white circle.

The stars detach themselves from the void…

PANEL 15

And form into the giant circle, making it grow bigger and bigger before our eyes.

FWOOSH! Now it’s a completely liquidy orb, with glowing colours shining in all different parts of it.

I float back to Penelope for comfort as the world around us takes shape.

Slowly, the orb forms into a small living room, its furniture taking shape and the cosy colours of red and yellow sinking into everything around us, until…

PANEL 29

INT. COSY RED & YELLOW LIVING ROOM.

Lady Penelope and I land safely on the floor. We can’t believe our eyes. The walls and ceiling are a cosy yellow, and the furniture is pure red.

PANEL 30

I hug Lady Penelope, meaning that we are feeling safe at last.

PANEL 31-32

A small floating piece of liquid forms on the red sofa to create….

PANEL 33

A cuddly teddy bear!

I run onto the sofa and hug the teddy in happiness.

PANEL 35

Lady Penelope kindly gestures for me to stay in the living room while she goes into the kitchen.

PANEL 36

INT. HALLWAY.

Dark, mysterious. Lady Penelope sees white beams of light shining from under the doorway.

PANEL 37

The light fades.

CLOSE UP - DOOR HANDLE

Shaped like a parrot’s beak. Penelope turns it with her hands…

PANEL 41

Lady Penelope checks the cupboard. Among all the essentials she finds a bag of popcorn and a tin of cocoa powder.

We see Lady Penelope making cocoa for me and her to share together. She spoons the cocoa into the mug, then she pours some boiling hot water from the kettle into it, then some fresh milk, then stirs the mixture.

PANELS 46-50

The next few panels are Lady Penelope preparing popcorn. Throughout these panels, she heats the stove, fills the pan with olive oil, pours corn kernels into the pan, places a lid on the pan and sizzles them while the popcorn pops wildly, bouncing about like a couple of boingy springs.

PANEL 51 - FULL PAGE

We see a tray laiden with warm cocoa and a whole pink plastic bowl full of buttery popcorn, as cooked professionally by Lady Penelope.

PANEL 52

I am sitting on the sofa, hugging my teddy tight.

PANEL 53

Penelope enters with my tray of popcorn and cocoa, much to my delight.

PANEL 54

She carefully places the tray on the table in front of the sofa.

PANELS 55-57

These panels show a cigarette lighter jumping off the edge of the fireplace, lighting itself and lighting the fireplace, which is full of fresh wood, to make a cosy fire.

PANEL 58

I sip my cocoa and sigh warmly.

PANEL 59

Lady Penelope has a mug of cocoa too, and we clink glasses together as we share popcorn and cocoa together.

PANEL 69

THE DARK VOID

Until we see the door reflected in the liquid orb, which floats still and silent in the darkness of the void.

THE END.

So, what do you guys think?
 
Do any of you have ideas for my soundtrack to my latest idea 'Blankets & Stars'? In this piece of fanfiction, by the way, Lady Penelope and I spend time in the room we share while everyone else parties wildly in the living room - and by everyone else, I meant other characters from Thunderbirds alongside Supercar, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Fireball XL5!

So for the soundtrack, the music must be loud, upbeat techno music for the living room and quiet, gentle, soft music for the room I share with Lady Penelope. Share your ideas for the soundtrack or post songs you would think be suitable for this idea in the comments!
 
pottyfry your interest is clearly strong in your area of interest. I do like to see that. I wish you well with it.

My question is this, can perhaps if there is any similar sounding threads if those threads can be merged. If not I was just wondering as a number of posts have now dropped off the pages that still had a lot of legs in them.
 
This is where you can post some ideas for stories themed around all Bluey episodes leading up to The Sign. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
