0:00:35 > 0:00:39Shall we make some stickers when we get home, Laura?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hm... Oh, OK.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46That's Susan Special. She's the trendiest girl in school.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Isn't her spotty backpack the coolest thing ever?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I think she looks pretty.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Sort of different.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56She's new this term, and every day
0:00:56 > 0:00:59she shows up with something super-nifty.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And Susan knows all about the latest fashions.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Bye, Laura! Have a great weekend.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Bye, Susan! You too.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13Oh... I wish I was like her. Everything she has is amazing.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Her flashing pen, her pink, fluffy scarf.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Even her shoes have cool, trendy toes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21LUCY GURGLES
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Yes, Lucy. Those shiny new shoes are really fancy!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Oh! Sorry, Sheena.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35These buggies are nippy little things! >
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Maybe a few driving lessons wouldn't go amiss, Linda.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Oh, my! That's quite a snazzy outfit you've got there.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Oh, this? It's just a little something I've picked up.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56After all, we all have to keep up with the latest trends, don't we?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Ow! Well, really!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Some people don't know how to handle their children!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Well, Lucy, I may not be able to afford a new outfit
0:02:08 > 0:02:13but I'm sure I can find some bits and bobs to spruce up my look.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18..and Susan says bangles are the next big thing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19What do you think, Dad?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Mm?- Do you like them?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Very nice, dear! I'm sure they'll create quite a stir.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Susan says these are the latest craze.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I think "crazy" is the word!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Woolly hats don't seem the most comfortable for a hot, sunny day!
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Dad(!) It's not about comfort, it's about having style!
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Want to make those stickers now, Laura?- Maybe later, Luke.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56OK. I'm going to make some anyway.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Susan says she loves hats.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I'm sure she'll be surprised by that little number, poppet!
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Whoo-oo! Hello! >
0:03:05 > 0:03:06We're back!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- May, my!- They're lovely, Lucy!
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Pretty Snazzy, Luce!
0:03:16 > 0:03:22Guess what, Mum? Susan Special has this amazing spotty backpack. And...
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Oh, please! Susan, Susan, Susan! That's all we ever hear!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Hm...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Da-da! What do you think, Lucy?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Uh-oh...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Mum, can I go into town with Dad and Luke?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I want to buy some spotty hairbands.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Susan says spots are in this summer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Yes, dear, but don't go spending all your pocket money.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I won't.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52You're not going to wear that outside, are you, Mum?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57What, this old thing? Granny gave it me ages ago.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What do you think?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Sorry, Mum, but I don't think it's quite your style.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You sort of look like a bumblebee.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Oh, no, Lucy!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I think hats just land us in trouble.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21This is perfect.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Look, Dad!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Quite cool!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Hm.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33That's it, Laura. I think it's time we were heading home.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, oh! Wait, Dad!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Look! They're just like the ones Susan has!
0:04:38 > 0:04:43All sparkly. Susan says sparkles are what trendy's all about.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48But...what's wrong with your pencil case?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52That old thing isn't trendy at all. It's old and tatty.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Oh...- You can have it if you like.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Oh!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Dad, Dad, quick!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Oh, wow! Isn't her dress fantastic?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I think she likes you!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Do you think so, Luke? I hope so.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Hm.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Want to make some clay shapes with me?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32< Maybe later. I want to try on my new things first.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Spare me from having to search for spotty knick-knacks ever again!
0:05:37 > 0:05:42I'm off to read the paper. So no more fashion tips, please!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Why the frown, Luke?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Laura was far more fun before she started copying Susan Special.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Now she's too busy to make clay shapes and stuff.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58It's normal for a little girl like Laura to want to have style.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Yes, but it's not her style, it's Susan Special's!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06You may be right there, Luke, you just may be right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08What are you doing, Mum?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Well, I decided to add some zip to my outfit.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14How's this for a little sparkle?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18But I think you're already sparkly, Mum!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Aw, thanks for the vote of confidence, Luke.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Why not get the clay and WE'LL make some shapes?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27All right! I'll be right back!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Oh, my! Aren't WE looking fancy!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Thanks, Mum. But wait till you see the best part.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's exactly the same as Susan's!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I can't wait to show everyone at school!
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Isn't it great?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Susan!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Susan! Come and see this!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57See? It's just like yours!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So it is. That's great, Laura.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I know. Now our pencil cases match, would you like to sit together?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Yes! I'd like that very much!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Mum, look at this.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's the same dress Susan was wearing.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Can I have one just like it? Please?
0:07:23 > 0:07:29It's very pretty, dear, but we can't afford to buy you a new dress.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Maybe I can rustle up some pieces of material and make you one instead.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Thanks, Mum, you're the best.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41..and Susan asked me to sit with her cos our pencil cases matched.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And we're wearing the same extra-special thing
0:07:44 > 0:07:46for non-uniform day on Friday.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So that's what they call fashionable these days, is it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54There! Finished!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's trendy, terrific and I love it!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Thanks, Mum!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04For our swimming trip tomorrow, we'll meet in the playground at 10am,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and take the bus into town.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09EXCITED CHATTER
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Hello, Laura. Why don't you come in and take a seat?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Hey, Laura! Over here!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46SHE SOBS
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Oh, Laura, what's the matter?
0:08:48 > 0:08:54Seems like trendy-terrific turned out to be more like trendy-trouble.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Oh, dear. poor Laura.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Laura has decided to copy someone else's style
0:09:06 > 0:09:08of super-trendiness instead.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Not again, Laura!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13This time, I'm going to copy ME!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Huh?
0:09:14 > 0:09:20- The best way to be ultra-cool and trendy is...- Just be yourself!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Isn't that amazing? Just be me.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well, it sounds like you've solved things, dear! Good for you!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'm going to start by wearing the most Laura-like outfit
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I can find for the swimming trip tomorrow.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Huh?!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Thanks for the clay shape, Luke. It makes a lovely brooch.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- You look fantastic! - Those beads are amazing!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I- love your new look!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It's unique, like Laura. Not just anyone can wear this look!
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Yes, this dress sort of says, "Look at me, I'm Laura Large!"
0:10:03 > 0:10:08It certainly does, Luke. Your sister looks terrifically trendy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Come on, Laura, let's sit together on the bus.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17There's our Laura. Regular little trendsetter.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Following her own sense of style at last!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Which gives me an idea...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Huh!
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Well, really! There's no accounting for taste!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Wow! Terrifically trendy!
