Too Many Crooks The Story of Tracy Beaker

# I can make my world come true

# All my dreams will see me through

# Doesn't matter what may come our way

# Believe me now I will win someday. #

You've got my perfume on! I can smell it.

Take a chill pill. I only used three tiny little drops.

My dad bought me that for special occasions.

Yeah, I'm sure your diary's jam-packed.

What you doing? Tea at Buckingham Palace?

Or ice and a slice with Peter and Jordan?

-Keep your hands off my stuff. Right, Bex?

-It's Rebecca!

You marry David Beckham, you'd be Bex and Becks!

If I did, I wouldn't wear that! Is that why they call it toilet water?

Right, time for some rules!

My side, my door. Your side, your door!

-Do not cross this line.

-Or what?

-All right, Wolfie?

-Great, you're ready!

I've made three types of sandwiches. Ham and pickle, cheese and pickle,

and chicken with a hint of pickle.

-Don't tell me you don't like pickle.

-Bouncer just called.

-He wants me to go and meet him.

-What, now?

I would've said I was busy,

-but I haven't seen him since he went.

-It's all right.

-I understand.

-You still going fishing?

Yeah, I need to get out for a while.

Dinner is served.

-BUBBLING Urgh!

-What is it?

I swear I just saw something move in there.

-It's mystery stew.

-What's in it?

-Well, that's the mystery.

I think it looks...

interesting.

OK, OK. I get the message. I'll go order some pizza.

-Order some cooking lessons while you're at it.

-Watch it!

Listen everybody, Lol's just come back from seeing Bouncer.

He might be a bit ups...

So try not to mention it. Just act normal.

Hello, Lol. Did you notice how warm it was this morning?

Yeah, it wasn't bad.

And then it got colder.

And then it got warmer again.

Thank you, Michael Fish.

Hi, Lol. How's Bouncer?

He's doing great, Layla.

Thanks for asking.

He's doing really well on his own. Better than I thought he would.

Right! Who's got my Maroon 5 CD?

It's gone missing.

Well?

Can I come in?

You're going to, whatever I say.

You weren't at dinner.

You didn't need to hide. I ordered pizza!

I had a big lunch.

-12 sandwiches with pickle in - takes some getting through.

-Mmm.

-Why don't you come down? Everyone's watching TV.

-I don't want to!

-Come on, Wolfie. You have to try and fit in.

-I've been trying!

-People have better things to do than hang out with me.

-That's not true.

What do you know? I hate this place. It makes me feel trapped.

HE SHOUTS

-SHOUTING CONTINUES

-I'm coming!

It's all right, it's me!

-SHE SCREAMS AGAIN

-Elaine!

-What happened?

-There was someone in my room!

They took my favourite photo!

Somebody's obviously mucking around. I'll get to the bottom of this.

I'm not even going to ask.

What have you come as today?

I've no space for my costumes. I don't know where to put them.

Here's an idea, freak boy. Chuck 'em all out and join the human race.

That's funny, the frying pan's not there.

And what's happened to all the aprons?

-Someone's taken my rugby socks!

-To find them, just follow the pong.

All right, guys, what's going on here?

We've got a mystery thief!

And I've got a very clear idea of what he looks like.

OK. Enough's enough! Someone's taken

Layla's Marie Antoinette doll with the detachable head.

How d'you know one of us did it?

No burglar would break in and steal a frying pan and a plastic doll!

Who's got my locket? It was a present from my dad.

This just got serious.

Well?

Does anyone have anything to say, huh?

Fine.

If these items are not returned, then we'll have to call the police.

POLICE SIREN WAILS

Rebecca!

That scheming little witch.

-Fancy a game?

-If you like.

Look, I'm sorry about fishing yesterday.

It's just this place is getting on my nerves.

Tell me about it.

-Lol, Bouncer's on the phone.

-Excellent!

Hey, Wolfie. How you doing?

Look, just stop bugging me, will you?

HE HOWLS

Oh, Elaine, and with Rebecca. What a surprise.

I hope you don't mind. We're searching the rooms

and Rebecca suggested we start here.

She's so community-minded, isn't she?

-You don't mind then?

-Why should I?

-Nothing in here.

-What?

There has to be!

Rebecca's turn now.

No...

Nothing in here either.

Whoops! Clumsy me.

Rebecca! I knew you had behavioural problems, but not a thief!

This is a stitch-up! Justine planted this.

-Why?

-Because I put the stuff in...

Honestly, you two!

Grow up and get along. I'll see you in my office first thing.

Now where's the rest of the stuff?

Mike's apron, Rio's CD, Layla's photo.

I don't know, this is all I...

..was aware of. Honest!

Great, so we've still got a thief at large!

What are you doing?

Lol?

Lol?

Lol?

-Gotcha!

-Shhh! Lol's sleep walking. Go and get Mike.

Lol!

Yay! My favourite picture of Bouncer and me.

-Sorry, everyone.

-Don't worry.

-You can't help being bonkers.

-Thanks, that makes me feel better(!)

-Why take all this stuff?

-I don't know. I don't want it.

Yeah, and they're all Bouncer's favourites.

Marco, that's it!

-You're a genius!

-I know!

-I am?

-Lol, you've obviously been missing Bouncer,

so you've subconsciously taken all his favourite stuff.

So, Rio's right. I am bonkers.

No. It's natural. You need time to adjust. Right, everybody. Bed, now.

Come on, sleepy head.

See you then.

-Oi!

-You scared the life out of me!

-What are you doing? You can't run away!

-No-one'll miss me.

-I will.

Look, I'm obviously not handling this as well as I thought.

-I need a mate to look out for me.

-A mate?

Yeah... you. A mate.

-No-one's ever called me that before.

-More fool them. What d'you reckon?

-D'you fancy sharing a room with me?

-Well, I suppose I'll have to.

Someone's got to stop you going on the rob every night...

mate.

Nice one.

So Wolfie's moving in with Lol?

And the news that there's a spare room is out.

So, I expect we'll have a couple of visitors

any second now.

After you, Rebecca.

No, you first, I insist.

We heard that Wolfie's moving.

Would it be possible if BECCA could move her stuff out?

Or should I ask Justine to move her stuff out?

-No, your stuff.

-No, your stuff.

Nobody's moving any stuff.

-What?

-Neither of you are getting the room. You don't deserve it.

That is so unfair!

Well, if I'm not getting it, who is?

Brilliant! I've got space to put all my costumes.

Thanks, Elaine. Thanks, Mike.

-You're welcome.

-This is your fault, you loser.

No, you're the loser.

-What did you just say?

-You heard, loser!

-I'm not a loser!

-You are, Becky!

-It's Rebecca!

-Whatever!
