Beaker Witch Project The Story of Tracy Beaker

# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through

-# It doesn't matter What may come my way...

-No! No!

# Believe me now I will win some day. #

Come on Rio. There won't be any wild beasts, I promise.

Hey, Beaker, wanna come camping? There'll be room if we strap Elaine to the roof.

I can't, Wolfie. Cam's taking me on a holiday of a lifetime. I can't wait!

THUNDERCLAP

Rio! Come out!

CAR HORN TOOTS >

Gotta go. Don't wanna miss our flight!

-I'll do you a video of our holiday.

-Can't wait.

I hope you packed the sunscreen. I burn like a tomato without it.

-Please Cam, tell us where we're going.

-Hmm-mm!

OK, you can open your eyes now.

Tracy!

Surpri-ise!

You are not serious!

-What?

-Camping with Elaine the Pain - how could you?!

I thought you'd love to go on holiday with your friends.

-you're always on about how you miss them all!

-I've spent my whole life

getting away from the Dumping Ground! This is my worst nightmare ever!

-Sorry we're such a pain for you, Beaker(!)

-No, wait, I...

"Worst nightmare"? What sort of freaks does she think we are?

Come on, Rio. There's nothing to be afraid of. You'll be here with me!

Look, there's lovely, lovely food! Come o-on, Rio.

-Let's sit over there.

-OK. Don't want to ruin anyone's holiday, do we(?)

They'll get over it.

I realise camping isn't what you were expecting,

but we can still have a good time.

Well, this is nice isn't it?

No. It's boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. Boring!

Boring? This is going to be the most action-packed holiday of your life!

We're gonna be firewood collecting, marshmallow toasting

and, best of all, campfire singing!

-But first, I'm taking you all on a lovely nature walk!

-(Oh-h!)

-Not...going!

-Course you are, Rio. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Come on, out!

Here you go. There's no wild beasts.

You're going to have a lovely time.

Rio!

-What you got in the bag, then?

-Got to be prepared on a trek.

Tracy!

Tracy, come on, we're all waiting for you!

TRACY!

Probably blubbing in her tent. Boo hoo hoo(!)

Tracy!

Tracy! No arguments, Tracy. Everyone's going, including you!

All right! Keep your wig on!

You'd best bring a jumper. It might get chilly later.

LOUD BLASTS

(Look, everyone...wild peacocks!)

-They're pheasants, Elaine.

-THEY GIGGLE

Right. Well, er, tick it off then.

-Page 19, I think.

-RIO WHIMPERS

-It won't bite you, Rio!

-Watch out -

-wild peacock!

-SHE SQUAWKS

Roxy, quick, collect them all up!

-<

-They're getting muddy. Well, somebody help me! Look...aw!

FOOTSTEPS RUSTLE

Well, it looks almost...

Aw, not again!

One more go? I don't see why not.

OK! "Slot pole A into inner grommet F,

"carefully tightening eccentric flange D...

"whilst supporting side pole C with the semi-crossbar J."

What does it mean?

I don't know what it means!

We didn't have namby-pamby TENTS when I went camping.

That's right, we built bivvys

with our bare hands out of dead branches and bracken.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

BOTH: Yea-eah!

And that must be a sycamore.

Or it could be a, um...

WARGH!

THEY LAUGH

Here, Elaine.

Oops(!) Sorry!

-Where's the rest gone?

-Dunno. But they've got the right idea.

Let's go.

-Perhaps we should go back now.

-Rubbish!

We haven't ticked off all the boxes yet.

-Come on everyone!

-Elaine, stop! We're missing half the kids.

Oh, my goodness.

-Um...

-Well, look, they can't have gone far, I'll round them up.

Unless the wood troll gets 'em first.

Wood troll?

Right, um, no need to panic. Everybody stay close to me.

we don't want to lose anyone else. Stay close, come on.

'And this is a fine specimen of, um... What's it called, again?'

-Er, a tree, maybe?

-THEY LAUGH

DISTANT HOWL

ANOTHER HOWL

WHAT is that?

BRANCHES CRACKLE

EERIE HOWL BRANCHES CRACKLE

EERIE HOWL

CREAK!

HOLLOW GROWLS

-Oh...

-Did you hear that spooky noise?

-Yeah...but I wasn't scared.

-Cos nothing scares me.

-Except a holiday with us.

-EERIE WHOOP

-Ah! I don't like it!

Where's it coming from?

WARGH!

THEY ALL SCREAM

Keep together, everyone.

Where's Layla and Rio?

One minute they were here, the next, they'd completely disappeared.

Don't you know about these woods, Elaine? It was in all the papers.

People go in but they don't come out.

-You OK?

-No!

Maybe we're letting our imaginations take over.

'Maybe just an old woman out for a walk.'

-In a long, hooded cloak?

-Yeah, well, maybe she feels the cold.

It's like that film where tourists get lost in a creepy forest.

-The one where they get home safely?

-No.

-The one where they get eaten by zombies.

-Takes more than zombies

to scare me. It's not gonna eat my mates, either.

So...we're still your mates, then?

Course. I mean, if you want to.

-OK, let's go.

-Which way?

-We're lost.

'No, we're not. The Beaker Satellite Navigation System says...

'That way.'

LAUGHING HOWL

-Uh-oh!

-Quick! It's witchcraft -

RUN!

THEY SCREAM

-She didn't even see us go!

-Let's get back to the camp. I'm starving.

< AOOOOWW!

-Ooh, what's that?

-Probably the wild peacock!

-Really?

I don't know. But I'm not scared with you here, Rio...

-A-Aren't you?

-You're so tough

you're not scared of anything.

Y-Yeah...!

If anything tries to attack us... I'LL soon see it off.

FIERCE GROWLS

Where did Crash go? We've got to go back for him.

-Nothing is dragging me back there!

-Hang on...

This means we're heading back the right way.

-I left it in my tent.

-Something so freaky's going on in these woods.

-Argh! Help!

-That's Cam!

-Someone help!

-It's coming from that creepy place.

-CAM!

-What if it's a trap

-by that spooky old woman?

-Cam's in trouble!

ANOTHER EERIE HOWL

CAM!

RAGGED BREATHS

Oh, Cam! Thank goodness!

-I thought something had happened and I'd never see you again!

-I'm fine.

-I think I've just sprained my ankle.

-Oh. Right.

-And where did you get to?

-You disappeared. I thought something happened to YOU.

-I found him.

Me? I was fine! These two found it a bit freaky, though.

Freaky? Wolfie, Lol and Bouncer were having a great time when I saw them.

Lol was mucking about with a blanket on. And Wolfie had your red jumper.

Oh, I'll kill 'em!

Hey!

-Which one's the best?

-They're both rubbish!

-We can do better than that.

-Let's show them.

-Yeah!

Oo-ooh, really(?)

We'll wait and see, shall we? ..Hey.

-Where's Elaine?

-Left her in a field. She's got some new friends.

MUSIC: "In An English Country Garden"

MOO!

MOO!

MOO!

Ta-daa!

Not bad!

-For beginners.

-<

-Cows!

Big...cows! Big, big cows!

-Big, big, big c...

-I think you'd better sit down, Elaine.

Come on, try my stool.

Have my stool, that's it.

-Hello, what's happened here?

-Oh, I'm fine, it's just a sprain. Stupid.

Find it a bit scary in the woods, eh, Beaker? Meet any freaks?

EERIE HOWL

You wait.

I think she took it pretty well...

for a girl!

EERIE HOWL

Ooh, Tracy, we're really scared(!)

-That the best you can do, Beaker?!

-What?

So if that isn't you...

..or any of them...

..who is it?

WAAAAAAAAAARRGH!
