0:00:05 > 0:00:08My Name is Tracy Beaker and these are my Survival Files.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Your guide to the ups and downs of growing up.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Tracy!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Tracy!!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Life in the Dumping Ground has taught me about "stuff."
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Tracy Beaker!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Scary stuff.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22SCREAMING
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Complicated stuff.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Stuff that can make you want to scream.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31If you can cope with stuff that goes down in this place,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35you can cope with anything. I've spent most of my life here.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38First when I was a kid, and now it's where I work.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42I've learned a lot about friends.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44About enemies.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49About what life can throw at you.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's not always been pretty.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58But it's made me who I am today.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02And now I'm passing on my wisdom to you guys in a video blog.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I've lived through all this so you don't have to.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11This time...brothers and sisters.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16The friendships and the fall outs. Getting jealous and getting even.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's a minefield.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25They can be the best of friends.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Roxy!- Chantal!- Rio...
0:01:29 > 0:01:30ALL: Wellard!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Also the deadliest of rivals.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Game on, bro!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38But they are always looking out for each other...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Brothers and sisters are all of these things.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Family ties can be complicated.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Having a brother or sister is a connection
0:01:55 > 0:01:57different to anything else.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And being in care can make that bond even stronger...
0:02:00 > 0:02:04because you've got nobody else. Take Lol and Bouncer.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08"I just can't get you out of my head, boy your loving..."
0:02:08 > 0:02:10What a double act!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It was a laugh a minute with that pair.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Oh, hit me with your handbag! Aagh!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They were inseparable. One without the other
0:02:19 > 0:02:21would be like tea without six sugars,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24or tuna pizza without the raspberries. Seriously,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26you should try it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30That was good, Bounce.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Then one day, the bubble of brotherly love burst.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And civil war broke out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40It was not pretty.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You're not sitting with Lol, then?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Mind your own!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Not made up with Bouncer yet?- No!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Not until he tells what's going on with Sid!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I know how you feel. Roxy never tells me anything.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Not how brothers should treat each other.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- No, it's not.- If you've got something to say, say it!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Don't let him get to you. - Keep out!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Don't take it out on her!- Or what?! - Oi! That's enough!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09They normally got on so well.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- What are you doing?- Go away!- Tetchy!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16How come it all had gone so wrong?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- So what's going on? - Well, Bouncer's in there with Sid.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21That's the third time this week.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- He says it's about his birthday. He's lying.- How d'you know?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Cos when he lies he does this weird flapping thing with his arms.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Thanks, Sid, I'll think it over. Were you listening?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- No! Why, got something to hide? - No.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- What were you talking about, then? - Just...my birthday and stuff.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46- What sort of stuff?- Stuff! I don't have to explain myself to you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49When you're close, then one starts thinking the other
0:03:49 > 0:03:53is keeping stuff from him, it's a disaster.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Game on, bro!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58They started falling out over everything.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Even a table football game became a matter of life and death.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06MUSIC: "Carnaval de Paris" by Dario G.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Yes, champion!- I wasn't ready. - What? No way.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- So you're a cheat as well as a liar? - Come on!- Come on, then!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Come on, you boys have to sort this out.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The truth is, brothers do get competitive.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Even ones that get on well. It's sibling rivalry
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and it's all part of growing up, apparently.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But this time, it was out of hand.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I realised that I had to sort them out,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46before their fighting tore the Dumping Ground apart.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48We needed a cunning plan.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- I made cakes and lemonade.- For my birthday?- Mmm-hmm.- Cor, thanks!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- A subtle, delicate lie... - In here, yeah?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02..and...a great big shove!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Let us out!- Not until you two have sorted things out!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- I'll kill you, Tracy! - Not from in there!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- This isn't funny. - Shout all you like, it won't help!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Finally, the boys were talking.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- You want to know what it's about? - The truth was out there.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I might be leaving. You happy now?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And it just kept coming.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You know how I'm 16? Sid said I have to think about moving
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- to a halfway house. - Why didn't you say?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Cos I was scared.- Of what? - Of hurting you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We've always been together. I don't know
0:05:37 > 0:05:41if you can hack it without me. What if I can't hack it without you?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, you're going to go?
0:05:44 > 0:05:49I don't know. I've got to grow up sometime, haven't I?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I'm 16, and I'm sitting in a Wendy house.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You should have said something.
0:06:03 > 0:06:09Look, whatever you decide to do, I'll be right behind you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Thanks, bruv.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You know I let you win at football.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- So you think you can take me on. - When I'm un-blindfolded.- Rematch!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Phew! One minute Lol and Bouncer were worst enemies.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The next they were best mates.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27That's the way it goes with siblings. It's a rollercoaster.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31That's especially true when it comes to Johnny and Tee.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33They are so close,
0:06:33 > 0:06:40but their relationship isn't without its ups and downs.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45I hate you! You're weird. I hate that you're my brother!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Tee, what's it like having a big brother?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Great. There's someone looking out for you,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57making sure you're OK, checking up on you...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It's a big responsibility, constantly looking out for her.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Making sure she doesn't get into trouble.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06But Johnny thinks he knows best.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10If she doesn't do what she's told, that can be a wind-up...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If he's stressed, it does your head in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Tee could do with listening more.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And if he's bossy, it totally does your head in!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I wouldn't change her.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I wouldn't want him to change though...much.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So, Johnny can be a bit controlling. But it comes from a good place.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31He wants the best for his sister, even if he ends up hurt.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Like when he persuaded her to be fostered by the Watsons without him.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- No way.- Think about it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Ponies, ballet lessons, cable TV...
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- And a family.- You are my family. Johnny, I'm not leaving without you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49But you've got to! Go on, tell her.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54What about Hannah? She's your best friend, isn't she?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Johnny's my brother.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Exactly. Don't you want me to get fostered?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Of course I do. - Then use your brain!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Why d'you think I've been stuck here? That stupid rule about
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- brothers and sisters. - It's not stupid!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Course it is! Nobody wants to take on two kids.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13If you go, I might stand a chance.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Otherwise we'll be stuck here for the rest of our lives.- I don't care.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Well, maybe I do!
0:08:26 > 0:08:27All right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It was a hard decision. But Johnny was sure it was
0:08:33 > 0:08:34the right thing to do.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I didn't want her to go. Of course I didn't.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41But Child Services don't normally split up siblings.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46And...I was holding Tee back. And I wanted her to have a chance.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We thought we'd see each other all the time, anyway.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- You are going to visit?- All the time, like Lulu does with her sisters.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- You'll call every day?- Of course.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00But once Tee got to the Watsons', things didn't work out
0:09:00 > 0:09:01the way Johnny had hoped.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Tee!- Hi. - How are you?- Yeah, I'm OK.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I've been to get my new school uniform.- You're moving schools?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- You never told me.- It'd be best if I went to the same school as Hannah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17And then Mr Watson dropped the bombshell.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23- Hey, Johnny. How are you doing? - All right.- Good. Listen, Johnny,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I wonder if you can do me a little favour.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I've noticed that Tee spends a lot of time on the phone.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Yeah?- I'm just wondering if that's the right thing for her.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I promised I'd call every day. - Hey, of course!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Look, you're a good brother.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You're the one who really understands where Tee's coming from.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50I know your life together's been unsettled. Things have changed.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Tee needs to feel secure.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- She deserves a chance to settle down, don't you think?- Course.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02So, if you could just help me out here. Johnny?
0:10:03 > 0:10:10Maybe try cutting down on the calls, eh? Just for the first...few weeks.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15OK? Is that cool?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Everything OK?- Yeah, fine!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That wasn't right. He shouldn't make me promise that.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Why didn't you say something to us?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Tee seemed to have got her life sorted out.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41With the big house and the ponies and that.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I couldn't mess that up, cos the Watsons seemed to really like her.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- So I kept quiet. - How did that feel?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I don't know. I felt...alone.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Johnny was trying to do what he thought was best for his sister,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01though it wasn't best for him. He was trying to be a good brother.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06But he wasn't the only one feeling abandoned.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07PHONE RINGS
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Hello, Elm Tree House?- Hi, Tracy. - Tee! How's it going?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm great. We've been ice-skating, swimming,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- and tonight we're going bowling. - Aw, sounds good.- Yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:24- So, how's Johnny? - OK...he misses you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Why doesn't he answer his phone? - Doesn't he?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- I've been calling and he won't pick up.- Really?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32This didn't sound right.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Hey, Johnny. What are you doing? - Game.- I've got a better one.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39We're going bowling tonight.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Can I just stay here?- No you can't. - Er, give me that back!
0:11:43 > 0:11:4729 missed calls from Tee? What's going on?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'm just giving her some space.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Well, I don't think she wants space. - Well, maybe I do.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Johnny, you've got to stop punishing yourself.- I'm not.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Then why don't you call Tee? - Because...Mr Watson asked me not to.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- He did what?!- And he's right! She's better off without me.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I had to get Johnny and Tee talking, but Johnny refused to speak to Tee.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14If only they could bump into each other.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Say, at a bowling alley? We needed a coincidence.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So I arranged one.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Come on, this is our lane!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28..two fingers left over for balance.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Tracy! Did you know about this? - Coincidence.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37- Tee!- Tee! Hi, honey! You all right?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I don't believe this! - What are you doing here?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Just go and talk to her.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I told you. She's better off without me.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Come on! Let's get bowling!
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Wait. Where's Johnny?- I don't know! He was here a minute ago.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Where are you going?- To find Johnny. - Can't you just forget about him?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- No, he's my brother. - He isn't acting like it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Hannah.- It's true! Tell them about last night.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- It was nothing.- Nothing? You cried all night.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Tee, why? - Cos Johnny didn't call her.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Yeah? And why's that?- Cos he doesn't care about you. Not like I do.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Yes, he does. Tell them!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Andrew, tell Tee the truth.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Tee. Johnny didn't call you because...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I told him not to.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Why would you do that?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Because we care about you very much.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And we wanted you to settle down with us.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We just thought you needed some stability.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Everybody thinks they know what I need!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Why does no-one ever ask me?- Tee!
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Splitting up Johnny and Tee was a rubbish idea.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Sure, they got on each other's nerves and squabble.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09But nobody comes between them, and nobody keeps them apart.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Not for long.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16So what have we learnt so far about brothers and sisters
0:14:16 > 0:14:18to put into my Survival Files?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21If YOU'VE got brothers and sisters you'll know that,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25like it or not, brothers and sisters aren't like friends.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29The connection is a special one.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32And because brothers and sisters know each other so well,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34things can get complicated.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Whether it's World War Three on the table football pitch
0:14:38 > 0:14:39between Lol and Bouncer,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43or Tee and Johnny trying to do what's best.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47One minute, brothers and sisters can be inseparable buddies.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Next, they're at each other's throats.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Then before you know it, they're mates again.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Sometimes it's hard to keep up.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Bouncer and Lol. Tee and Johnny. We've seen major sibling shockwaves.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08But one family fall-out shook the Dumping Ground to its foundations.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Nobody saw it coming.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I remember the day the three Wellard kids arrived.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Chantal, Rio and Roxy were scarily close.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, they were scary in every way.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27If you take on my sister, you take on me too.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- And me.- We're a team. - That's the way it's always been.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39But then one day cracks started to appear between the terrible trio.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It all started with a delivery.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- There's a parcel for Chantal. - Who rules?- Roxy rules.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Who'd send a Wellard a present? - Bog off, Beaker.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So, who had sent a present to Chantal?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Roxy was desperate to find out.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Open me! Open me!
0:16:14 > 0:16:18With the Wellards, the brother-sister thing was so strong
0:16:18 > 0:16:21that there wasn't room for anyone else in their world.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26"Dear Chantal, Have a lovely birthday. See you soon. Love, Dad."
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Not even for parents.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32And Roxy wanted to make sure it stayed that way.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33So she hid the package.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But nothing stays secret in the Dumping Ground for long.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41What was in your parcel? The Cheats Annual? The Bumper Book of Cheats?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- What parcel?- It came in the post for you. I gave it to Roxy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52There is one golden rule of being a Wellard.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Wellards look after Wellards, no matter who gets hurt,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58as long as it isn't a Wellard.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Wellards do not do the dirty on each other.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04They don't nick other Wellards' stuff.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Why did you steal the present my dad sent me?- I...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Is this why you gave me a hard time?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- You're the one planning to meet your dad without telling us.- No, I'm not!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17"See you soon. Lots of love, Dad."
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I thought we could trust each other. I was wrong.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24You're wrong if you think I'm ever going to speak to you again.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27You don't say anything to her either!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You shouldn't have done it, Roxy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Who'd have thought it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35The three-headed monster turned out to be human.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Three separate humans, in fact.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41But it wouldn't last. The Wellards had no time for fighting.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44They were busy trying to achieve world domination.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49You know you've got it all wrong. Just cos my dad sends me a present
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- doesn't mean I'm interested in him. - Honest?- Honest.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I gave him the boot, just like your dad.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00And just like I would with my dad. If I knew who he was.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- I'm sorry.- Me, too.- Me, three.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09The problem was Roxy's jealousy.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That can happen with brothers and sisters.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15If one gets the idea someone else is favourite...
0:18:15 > 0:18:16watch out.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Once, Justine Littlewood had a bad case of sisterly jealousy.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29She never was good at sharing, but this was spectacular even for her.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35We, your dad and me... we're going to have a baby.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Yep. She managed to become jealous before her brother was even born.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Typical Justine, eh!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49She's having a baby of her own! She won't want me in the way.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- Your dad?- He'll do what Carrie wants. She doesn't want me.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- You don't know that.- Don't I? What happened to Tracy Beaker
0:18:58 > 0:19:01when her foster parents found out they were having a baby?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05She got dumped back in the Dumping Ground!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Sorry. I didn't mean it. I was just...
0:19:11 > 0:19:16No, you're right. Babies suck.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I knew what she was going through. I'd been there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Being dumped for a new baby hurts.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Nobody deserves that. Not even Justine Littlewood.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29BURP!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Go away. I don't want to hear your stupid excuses.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I just wanted to show you something.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43This isn't any old baby.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It's Justine Littlewood's little brother or sister.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59This baby connects us all.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You, your dad, me. It makes us a family.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09And as soon as we get things properly organised, we want you to come home
0:20:09 > 0:20:12and stay with us for good.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15That's what I really came to tell you.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Aww, how sweet. Of course, it didn't last.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Justine's dad and step-mum kept going on about the baby,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30and it wasn't long before Justine was totally sick of it again.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- D'you want the baby to be a boy or a girl?- Who cares?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38You can't call a tiny little baby George! Tell him, Justine!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Whatever!
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Did you know that one baby can create more washing than 10 adults?
0:20:58 > 0:21:04Stop talking about the stupid baby! I'm sick of baby, baby, baby!
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Hmmm. Difficult to tell which one the baby was in that family,
0:21:08 > 0:21:13when "big sister" is throwing her toys out of the pram like that!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16But, in the end she went to live with them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I wonder how it's working out.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Imagine having Justine Littlewood as your big sister.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26They're probably fine. I bet they share dummies and everything.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32The truth is, being a big sister isn't easy,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34even for someone like me.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I don't actually have a brother or a sister of my own.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41But when Lily moved in, I got a ready made sister overnight.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Problem was, Lily had practice at being a sister.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And I had to learn it all as I went along.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It was great at first. But then it started to dawn on me
0:21:51 > 0:21:53that sisters have to share.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Bathrooms, TV remotes and parents.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I know you're really bored, love. Let's do something special today.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Maybe I could go into the Dumping Ground with Tracy?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- Good idea.- What? Now? I've got to leave five minutes ago!
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Moving in with you and Cam has been the best thing in years.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18We thought you deserved a break.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Thing is, it was going really well,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25and then you just started going really frosty.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I know. I'm sorry.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32It was like you were punishing me. But I didn't know what for.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yeah. I know.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38OK, here's the thing. As an adult, I'm mature, sensible
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and sorted in pretty much every way.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45But when I had to share with Lily, I began to forget how to be grown up.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You're never too old for sisterly jealousy!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Hi, Tracy!
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Hi, Tracy!
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Hi, Tracy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Is that my new top?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Yeah, Cam said you wouldn't mind. - Not a problem, is it?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11No, just don't get paint on it, OK?
0:23:11 > 0:23:16One new top. One reluctant lender. One girl in a wheelchair.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18One pot of pink paint.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Hiya.- Hiya.- Oh, nice top!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- What you doing? - I'll leave you to it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You'll never guess what happened next.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29What? Don't you like it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33It's not that, it's just...this is Poppy and Rosie's room.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Not any more.- Yeah, but you can't just paint us all out, Carmen.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40They don't live here and neither do you!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah, but it still feels like home.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Lily, it was your choice to leave so don't have a go at me!
0:23:48 > 0:23:54- Look what you did!- Oops. - It's Tracy's, it's brand new!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- It'll come out.- You stupid mare!
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I thought my luck had changed. I thought I had this new start.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04And then it started going horribly wrong.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09You was being off with me. And then, Carmen wrecks your new top.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I had to put things right.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Are you sure it'll work? - 100 per cent!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Maybe use a bit more water. Oh, nightmare!
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Why's it done that? - Don't do it again!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- She's so going to kill me! - Nah, she'll probably laugh.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- You're joking! - It's only Tracy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Yeah, but she's been acting weird with me, lately.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Oh?- I'm not sure she likes me being at Cam's.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- Why?- I don't know. I really don't.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's like...she hasn't got time for me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54You made things so much worse! Why didn't you just tell me?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You was in a mood with me. You'd go ballistic
0:24:57 > 0:25:01if you found out I'd wrecked your top! I had to try and cover it up!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Is that my top?!
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- You just go into my room and help yourself?- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- And then trashed it?! - It was an accident!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- We were washing it. - I don't want to hear it!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Don't have a go! She's moved into your flat and you're never there.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23She's all on her own, and you just want to go to work
0:25:23 > 0:25:25so you can buy new clothes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Carmen was right. So I thought about what she said,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and took a good look at myself and my behaviour.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Being a big sister turned out to be difficult.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37So I decided to try a bit harder.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Look, Lily, I have been keeping out of your way.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47- Why?- Because...this is going to sound so stupid,
0:25:47 > 0:25:48but there's no other way.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- I was jealous. It's always been just me and Cam here.- Oh, come here!
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Sorry.- Sorry about your top, too.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Don't worry about it. I know you didn't mean anything bad by it.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I kind of did, though.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I thought if you were angry you might notice me.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, you got that right! Trouble is,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I've had no practice at being a sister.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But I think I'm getting the hang of it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25So, I messed up my first chance to be a big sister.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29But I learned from my mistakes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34If you can do the same, things will usually work out OK in the end.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44So what's the low-down on brothers and sisters
0:26:44 > 0:26:46to upload into my Survival Files?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Sometimes siblings can be annoying, sometimes they can be brilliant.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54They can be both at the same time. Ask Johnny and Tee.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Love them or hate them,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00there's no denying it's a relationship like no other.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04The way the Wellards look out for each other is proof of that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08When brothers and sisters fall out, it can be massive,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12like with Bouncer and Lol. That sort of thing happens pretty often.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Because when brothers and sisters are close, they can be competitive.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21In fact, it happens so often it has its own name...sibling rivalry.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But your siblings are there for the long run,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26so it's worth making up.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's great to have someone who really knows you,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and who'll always be there for you,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35especially in a place like the Dumping Ground.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39So that's the Beaker guide to brothers and sisters
0:27:39 > 0:27:42safely uploaded to the Tracy Beaker Survival Files.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46More gems of wisdom next time.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Another session of unmissable advice from big sister Tracy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Remember, I've been through this so you don't have to.
