Callie stood on the balcony, watching the sunset. She was so transfixed she didn't notice Nikki approaching.

"Callie? Callie? Earth to Callie."

Callie gasped and finally saw her. "Oh, Nikki, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were there."

"Are you okay, Callie? You looked a little distant when I saw you."

Callie smiled slightly. "I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind, that's all."

"I think there's something more to it. Can you tell me please?"

Callie looked at Nikki briefly before turning back to gaze at the stars. "To be honest, Nikki, I'm scared."

"Why? What's there to be afraid of?"

Callie answered, "What if I goof up when I'm on my own? What if I give the wrong info that could cost someone his or her life?"

Nikki was taken aback. This was a side of Callie she hadn't seen. "Callie, you shan't fail. We all believe in you. Mr. Tracy believes in you. All you have to do is believe in yourself." She continued, "Think about this: when you worked at the International Space Station, did you not have to give vital information to people back on Earth?"

"Yes, of course."

"And were you frightened when you had to give that information?"

"No, I wasn't. I was completely focused."

"If you were able to do it there, then you should have no trouble in Thunderbird Five. All you need is faith in yourself."

Callie thought about what Nikki had told her and knew she was right. Relaying information from Thunderbird Five would be no different from what she had done before. "Thanks, Nikki. I guess I needed... I don't know."

"Reassurances?"

"I guess that's what I wanted." Callie pointed in the direction of the door. "We'd better go back before we're missed." As the two women headed back to the party, Callie noticed the bruises on Nikki's right hand.

"Good grief! What happened to you? Did you get injured when picking up the earthquake debris?"

"Not exactly." Nikki shrugged. "Someone didn't want to leave a collapsing building because he wanted to see the ice dancing finals so badly. Gordon and I tried sedating him, but he didn't want to cooperate. When the man and I got into a struggle, I had no choice but to punch the bloke."

Callie's eyes grew wide. "You're kidding."

"No, I'm not. I just hope I never have to do anything like that again. That bloody hurt."

"I hope it won't affect the way you do your job," Callie joked.

"I don't think it will. Come along, let's enjoy dinner with the rest of the group, shall we?" The two women went back into the lounge to continue their good times with the others.
