Billie and Toni The Dumping Ground: I'm...

'Attention, the My Life In Care Videos

'are about to receive their world premiere in the TV room.

'Don't miss these personal takes on what life is really like in

'Ashdene Ridge.

'And next up, Toni and Billie.'

-ALL:

-# Why are we waiting? Why are we waiting? #

THEY CHEER

-Come on!

-Sorry, guys.

What were you doing?

Nothing. You'll see.

-Hi, this is Toni.

-And that's Billie. We're twins, if you hadn't guessed.

And that's a good thing. When surviving life at Ashdene Ridge,

two heads is definitely better than one.

Especially when it comes to our most important quality - helping.

-BOTH:

-We cleaned your boots for the football demo.

-Can I help?

-Lunch is ready.

-I bet we can help.

-You don't have to do that.

-It's fine.

-We don't mind.

-Are they like your minions or something?

Yes, we've certainly got a reputation for helping

around the house.

We can clear up, can't we?

Well, I have to put it in the oven. That's what he said.

We'll be all right. Our dad used to let us put things on all the time.

But sometimes our good deeds don't exactly go to plan.

ALARM BLARES

-What have you done?

-Is it supposed to do that?

-Stay back.

-Take it out! Quick! Take it out.

Sasha loves the things we do for her.

Like covering - when she sneaked out with Tee for the night.

OK, so that didn't go to plan either.

But only because May-Li arrived home early.

Right, come on. It is way past your bedtime.

I'll grab a quick shower and then I'll tuck you in, OK?

That's another one of our qualities - thinking on our feet.

Even when we're supposed to be in bed.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as helpful as we are.

-ALARM BLARES

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Let me out.

Are we on fire?

-I don't know.

-Right, downstairs, now.

No running, OK?

At least we got to rescue May-Li from a fire.

We could tell she was grateful.

What if it had been a real fire, eh?

I couldn't get everyone out if I was locked in.

-What were you thinking?

-It was a dare.

-It was a joke.

No challenge is too great for us when a friend is in need.

And our friend Floss needs a helping hand more than most.

Let's go over the plan.

We do whatever it takes to get Jody and May-Li out of the garden.

There's nothing we like better than a secret mission.

And being a team means we can be twice as sneaky.

What are you doing?!

Switch it off!

Switch it off!

I knew that wasn't an accident!

But one problem with doing so much for people around the house

is that you can get taken advantage of.

I've run out of CDs.

Well, go and look for more in the recycling, then, minion.

Go on!

There's that word again, minion.

That's the one thing that makes us really, really...

-Weird.

-Yellow.

-Minions?

-BOTH:

-Shh!

-BOTH:

-Mad.

And one thing you don't want to do is make twins angry.

-How did they do that?

-They're telepathic.

-Tele what?

-They can read each other's minds.

Have you got a plan?

Seven of clubs.

If our telepathic trickery came off we wouldn't be bottom of the pecking

order any more,

which meant double trouble for the boys.

Jack of hearts.

HE SIGHS

Come on, it's the tenth one she's guessed.

-I didn't guess.

-She read my mind.

It's amazing how easy it is to fool people.

And some people are easier to fool than others.

Look, I need some thought-protectors.

They keep everything in your mind so the twins can't know what

you're thinking.

Before we knew it, the boys thought we were going to read

their minds as well.

You can't read their minds unless they've got minds to read

in the first place!

-BOTH:

-We like your hats.

They keep you safe but Bailey isn't wearing one.

Turns out, being telepathic, all-seeing super twins

wasn't as fun as it sounds.

People avoided us even more.

Everyone ignores us.

-No, we don't.

-Actually, we probably do.

We're not freaks.

We're just...

Sisters.

OK, so, being telepathic was just a trick.

But that doesn't mean we don't have other talents.

Philips screwdriver, please.

For a start, we can fix almost anything.

As long as we've got the right tools.

The...

It's this one.

Thanks.

Good old Harry, eh? DIY was not one of his talents.

It was nice to be able to do something for Mike for a change.

So, come on.

What is it with you two?

It's like you've been doing this for years.

We used to do it with our mum.

"Never pay anyone to do anything when you can do it yourself."

When all our DIY jobs started falling apart...

Nobody could work out why.

BANGING

Not even Mike.

-Teething problems.

-It turns out the hardest thing to fix is people.

-I did it.

-But you were the ones helping me put everything right.

Is this something to do with your mum?

I just didn't want to run out of things to fix.

It made me think about her.

I'm sorry. I miss her.

It's OK. You don't have to be sorry.

I know how much Billie misses Mum and Dad

because I miss them, too.

I miss being a family.

When Mum died, Dad couldn't cope so he sent us here

to The Dumping Ground.

I keep hoping he'll come back.

He hasn't yet.

But another member of our family did...

..sort of.

It's Mr Nibbles!

Mr Nibbles is our rabbit when we lived with Mum and Dad.

He was one the family.

But nobody believed it was really Mr Nibbles.

Not even Billie.

May-Li said we had to find Mr Nibbles' real owner.

-Are you sure you're OK about this?

-Yeah.

How far do we need to go?

Just down the road should do it.

May-Li had a plan, but so did we.

Having a reputation for being helpful can be handy sometimes.

It takes longer to get found out.

Only a bit longer though.

Toni!

Billie!

Down here now, please.

May-Li didn't know why Toni was so keen

to keep Mr Nibbles, but I did.

That's Mr Nibbles.

Is that your dad?

Mr Nibbles reminded Toni

of when we were a family with Dad.

-Don't get mad.

-That's mine!

I know.

Toni, that's not Mr Nibbles.

It is. He found me.

I really did believe it was Mr Nibbles.

Until he turned out to be Mrs Nibbles.

They are so cute!

Maybe you get to keep Mr Nibbles a little bit longer.

It's not Mr Nibbles, it's a girl.

Yeah, but you could still keep her a bit longer, can't you?

It's not Mr Nibbles!

THEY SIGH

We may not have a family just yet but here at the Dumping Ground

we've made the best friends ever.

And none are better than our mate Floss Guppy.

How do we know she's such a good mate?

Because she puts up with us, that's why.

What are you doing?

We're making an advert.

We're going to find new families.

That's stupid.

No, it's not. She's just scared.

-Scared of what?

-That no-one will want her.

That was a horrible thing to say to our friend.

You think so, do you?

Floss wants a family just as much as we do.

But that doesn't mean she can just sabotage our poster idea.

BEEPING

-It fell out of my hand.

-That's it!

-You're out of the game.

-You know what? I don't care.

Move!

When we do find families, don't expect us to say goodbye.

We had the perfect plan.

Floss or no Floss.

A poster campaign with children looking for a good home.

Who needs to wait for a family to find you when you can advertise?

OK, are you ready?

-Ready.

-Ready.

-Let's do this.

We hoped May-Li would think

the posters were a good idea.

-PHONE RINGS

-Hello, Ashdene Ridge.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What do you mean by "princess"?

Posters? Not so fast!

Do you know anything about this?

You can't blame Floss for dobbing us in it,

but we blamed her at time.

-You're such a snitch.

-Don't be blaming Floss.

Well, if it wasn't for her

you guys could be in more trouble.

You can't go putting personal information

out there for people to see.

I'll let you off just this once,

but on one condition -

you guys make friends.

We're sorry for what we said.

It's OK.

So, Floss, we're sorry.

Friendship is complicated.

Twice as complicated with twins.

-What are you doing?

-It's private, go away!

-IN DISTANCE:

-Get out of my room!

"Tour start. Tour finish..."

Hey, that was my idea!

Except, you only charged a pound.

Me and Floss are going to make way more than that.

Yep, we are. High-five.

When Floss and Toni set up a moneymaking tours

of Ashdene Ridge, our friendship fell apart.

Hang on, it was you who set up your own rival tour company.

She did, you know.

Tours of Ashdene Ridge?

Why wasn't I told about this?

-What are you doing?

-That was our idea.

Mine, actually.

Pretty soon it was like twin V twin.

Like in a movie.

This is silly, all of us doing these tours.

We should join together.

We'll help you hand out your leaflets.

Billie, don't trust her.

Pass!

Hey!

Right, give those back!

You want to play dirty? Bring it on!

Twins do fall out, but we always make up.

Although, even that can cause problems.

Yeah, people think we come as a pair.

-Tillie!

-Or Boni!

I mean, look, we're even having to share our own video diary.

So, who is Toni? The real me.

-Thanks for asking.

-What's going on?

Sorry, I thought I was recording at the end of the tape.

You wiped over us?

-Me?

-The real me doesn't always think the same as my sister.

We don't agree on glamping for a start.

-What's glamping?

-Glamorous camping.

You know, all the celebrities do it.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I mean, believe me, that is the only way you'd get me

to sleep in a tent - is if I could bring my own mattress.

-Can you...?

-What's the point? You might as well stay indoors.

I'll stick to proper camping, thanks.

No vision.

-I can't believe you.

-What?

-Saying we weren't interested.

-You're not, are you?

-I might be.

We don't always think the same thing, you know.

I love Billie, but I don't always love being a twin.

-Tell me about it.

-I was determined to go glamping with Carmen,

with or without my sister.

-Carmen!

-Can you actually help me?

-Whoa! Whoa!

-Hey, that's our stuff!

It's just some stupid sleeping bag. I'm going next to Carmen anyway.

There's not enough room.

You'd have done anything to impress Carmen that day.

It's taramasalata.

-Gross!

-What do you know?

We had it at Christmas once. You said it was like fish yoghurt.

-No, I didn't.

-I thought you liked it.

-I do.

Eat some, then.

-Delicious.

-Your face!

It serves you right.

I was just trying to prove that we're not the same.

You proved that when you used Sasha's festival poster

to start the campfire.

By accident!

Yeah, really bad luck, that(!)

Was it you?

Did you put it in there?

I got the scrap paper from the living room

-and put it in the fire.

-What's my poster doing in there?

-Who took it?!

-Toni wouldn't do that.

But somebody must have.

Why did you stick up for me?

Because you're my sister,

and even though you've been horrid all day,

it doesn't mean you deserve to get the blame.

So, I'm Toni. But I do love being a twin.

And that's the real me.

That's all from us, Billie and Toni.

-Aka... BOTH:

-The Twins.

-Thanks for watching. BOTH:

-Bye!

I'm sorry for wiping over the tape.

That's OK. We do look out for each other, don't we?

Hey, Billie, could you fix this...

squeaky sofa?

Yeah, I've got some vegetables for you two to peel as well.

-Any chance of some help with my homework?

-BOTH:

-No!
