0:00:00 > 0:00:04'I'm Tracy Beaker. Welcome to my first Youth Side View column.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06'Writing's my proper job, but I'm an ex care kid
0:00:06 > 0:00:08'who's done all right for herself.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'So I help out a bit at the dumping ground where I grew up.'
0:00:14 > 0:00:15ARGUING
0:00:15 > 0:00:17'Everyone's been having such a laugh since I arrived.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'I'm a role model for the kids.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:21What are you doing?
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Trying to move the bed!
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Yeah, well not very...
0:00:23 > 0:00:27'Cos they know I've been where they are now. And I'm there for them.'
0:00:27 > 0:00:29ARGUING
0:00:29 > 0:00:32'They rely on me for advice.'
0:00:32 > 0:00:34CRASH AND A THUD
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'And someone to lean on.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:39ARGUING GETS LOUDER
0:00:39 > 0:00:43WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Huh?
0:00:44 > 0:00:49You were supposed to wait until Tracy helped you move room!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- She did wait! - But Tracy never turned up!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54She never does anything she's supposed to.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Help!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You're going to be late again!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17It's my first column!
0:01:17 > 0:01:18I need it to be great.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20What you need is to not get fired,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23so you can pay me back the money you owe me.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24I got the job, didn't I?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Yes, and now you're going to lose it.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Fine.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Nearer Lily's bed. - No, by the window.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Perfect.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Lost the cupboard a bit there.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Maybe we can move the cupboard?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Make up your mind please.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- By Lily's bed. - By the window.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44By the wall!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Thank you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Sharing's going to be amazing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Hey. Oh, is Tracy here then?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56ALL: No.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Lily seems to have perked up.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Let's hope she sleeps better now she's sharing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03If Carmen stops yakking long enough to let her.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04That was a good idea of Tracy's.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08When she shows up for work, I will be sure to thank her.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12TV Girl's tour was supposed to start after my piano practice.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14At 9.40.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15It's 9.57.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17She'll be here soon, Gus.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Yesterday, "soon" was 26 minutes late,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and you said it was too late for her to do my tour.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Well, I'm sure she won't be too late today. Soon!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, how long is today's "soon"?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Yes, Mike, how long is it, hmm?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35OK, I'll go and ring her.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47TELEPHONE RINGS
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Tracy!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh, sorry. Hi, Rob.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Mm-hmm, come on.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Just had social services on the phone. Liam's coming back.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Brilliant!- He's not been arrested again, has he?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12No, something about a minor explosion.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No-one's been hurt.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Right. Well, there's still no Tracy,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22so I guess I'd better make up his room.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What time do you call this?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Tracy, you're over an hour late!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I know, I'm really sorry. I was working on my column.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- It's the first one, it's kind of a big deal.- So is this job.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Hm! What an honour(!)
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Now, take that, sort out Carmen's old room.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Oh, Liam's coming back.- How come?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It didn't work out with his foster family.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I thought you'd convinced them to give him another chance.- So did I.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Tracy, the tour starts upstairs!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh, Gus, can we do this later? I'm busy now.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58No, you promised me you'd do my tour.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And I can't do anything until I've crossed the tour off my list.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I can't cross the tour of my list till you've done it!
0:04:08 > 0:04:09This is Tee's room.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Tee, the girl, is spelt with two E's,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14but tea, the drink, is spelt with an E and an A.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Hiya!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, I was going to do that with you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Yeah, yesterday.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Tee, I'm so sorry...
0:04:23 > 0:04:28No talking on the tour, you'll hold us up and we're late already!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30This is Harry's room.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Harry has a toy giraffe called Geoff.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35He thinks Geoff can talk. He can't.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Well, maybe you've never heard him.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Toys can't talk. And you can't talk on my tour.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Sapphire's room.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Get out!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49THUD
0:04:49 > 0:04:53When you open the door without knocking, she throws things.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56When you knock, she shouts, "Go away!"
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Go away!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04This would look amazing on you!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06You have to borrow it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Really? Can I?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Yeah, sure. That's what best friends do. They share.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I've never had a best friend before.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Well, you've got one now. Try it on.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19This was Lily's room, but now it's...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Lily and Carmen's room!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- No talking on the tour, you're spoiling it!- OK, I won't, I promise.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- You don't keep your promises. - I do!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Don't!- We're not talking to her!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- What did I do?- If you don't know, we're not telling you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Stop talking!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Oh, I said I'd help you move rooms. - Talking!- Hang on.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Look, girls, I'm really sorry, but...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43You're doing it again! Stop talking!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49"Tracy Beaker promises not to talk on Gus's tour." There.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Gus!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Now what did I do?! Gus!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Oh, now the tour's over you can get on and do some work.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Yeah? Go on. That way.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Liam's here!- Liam!
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Hi, Liam!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Where is he?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32He's right behind me.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Liam?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Come on, it's only ten metres between here and the car,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43we can't have lost him already!
0:06:43 > 0:06:48# A million love songs later
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- # And here I am trying to tell you - Keep it down!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- # That I care - Tracy!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- # A million love songs later - Tracy!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02# Here I am... #
0:07:02 > 0:07:04SCREAMS AND COMMOTION
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Get out, get out! - Get that thing away from me!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Get it away!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12What's going on?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Hey, Liam.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Sapph.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I told you it was Liam.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Lily, this is Liam.- Hi.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25HE GRUNTS
0:07:26 > 0:07:29So, I guess this ain't my room any more.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's Poppy and Rosie's. Their sister's my best friend.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Oh, for goodness' sake, Liam!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Could you not come in the front door like everybody else?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What did you think you were doin', huh?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44What? You wanted to end up a pile of broken bones on the floor?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Oh, nice to see you too, Gina. So, where am I staying, then?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The pink palace! My favourite.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- We helped paint it.- Entertainment's better than I remember!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57She works here.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh! Hey, Liam.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh! Writing career going well, then?
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Oh! We met in prison.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10We met at the police station.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Heard you were coming back.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- You OK?- Why wouldn't I be?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Cos you're back here and not with your foster family?- Yeah, but...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22they didn't have a pink bedroom,
0:08:22 > 0:08:23or a Frank.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Let's talk.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Er, just Liam, Frank.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But he only just got here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Tell you what, I'm making lunch today.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35How about I make you a burger?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36She'll forget!
0:08:36 > 0:08:37No, I won't!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Take it, mate.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Burger.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Deal.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Come on.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You don't have to pretend with me.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Pretend about what?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Being back here! It sucks, right?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55It's not that bad.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I've been dumped by hundreds of foster parents, it sucks.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- It's OK.- Really?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I was gutted every time I got sent back here.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Well, I'm good.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Fine. If you ever decide you want to talk...- Sure.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Erm, are we done, cos...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I really wanna catch up with Frank.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Sure.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20The little girl stood up.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23"I'm Katie Kilometre, the famous explorer,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26"and I'm back from Antarctica." Everyone cheered.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- But Katie...- What are you doing?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Carmen's reading us a story.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33The Tale Of Katie Kilometre. It's the best book ever!
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I tell them stories at bedtime.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36They wanted a story now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43But Katie wasn't alone. Behind her was a huge bear,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47as tall as three normal bears standing on each other's shoulders.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Where's Liam's file?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Ex-resident's drawer, I haven't had a chance to move it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Tracy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I need to talk to you about your timekeeping
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and the way you've just...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm sorry, I've been all over the place.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It's my first week, I'm trying to get my column right... I'll sort it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Hey, Liam's been returned five times.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21He can be a handful.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It says he always takes it well.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Ah well, not everybody breaks things like you used to.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28A-ha-ha, funny(!)
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I just think he's not that surprised any more.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yeah, but it's still not... - Remember, you're doing lunch.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36..normal.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You are witnessing the birth of Liam-ade.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The greatest fizzy drink of the 21st century.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- He'll blow it up!- What?!
0:11:14 > 0:11:15It doesn't blow up.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It does!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20OK, it did once, but it wasn't supposed to happen.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- What did happen, then?- I stored it under my foster mum and dad's bed.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You killed your foster parents?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38No! Just...gave 'em a shock and...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41got them a little bit soggy.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It is safe now, though?
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Course.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I have made improvements.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Is the bottle getting bigger?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I think we'd better run!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Whoa, slow down! Somebody'll have an accident!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Find Liam and posse and get them to clear up the kitchen, will you?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Mike! I can't believe you never showed me this!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Tracy, I don't know what that is, but it can wait till I've cleaned off.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39No, it can't! It's a letter from my mum I've never seen before!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42With a note attached from you saying not to show it to me.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oh, this is really old.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm sorry. This should have been in your red file when you left us.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, it wasn't! I found it screwed up in the filing cabinet.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I don't know how that happened. I'm sorry, it was a bad mistake.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58The mistake was not showing it to me when it arrived!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00We did what we thought was best at the time.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It's a letter from my birth mum!
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Yes, saying that she MIGHT visit and she'd always let you down before!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So, Cam and I thought it was best not to show you
0:13:09 > 0:13:12until we'd had some confirmation!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Cam knew about this?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Well, yes, but...
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Gus?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30No.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Gus...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Nearly...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Nearly...Now!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Yes.- LUNCH!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46How come you're making lunch? Where's Tracy?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49She's, er, she's nipped out. I'll explain later.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53He means he'll tell you when we're not about.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Shall I add "Tracy not doing lunch"
0:13:54 > 0:13:56to my list of what she's done wrong?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58No, thank you, Gus. Go and sit down.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I want chips! Can we have chips?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well, let's see. She was late for work,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05she didn't help Carmen move rooms,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07she wrote in my book...
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Not doing lunch makes four.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Eh, Tracy promised me a burger.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Yeah, well, Tracy isn't here, is she, Frank?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm adding Frank's burger to my list.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Give her a break, she hasn't been here long.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23What do you think people thought of you at first?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24You were strange.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yeah, well, you think your giraffe talks.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Here you are, Poppy, I'll do it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I bet Tracy's done some good stuff, too.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36You should make a list of stuff she's done right
0:14:36 > 0:14:37since she's been here.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- She helped me out at the cop shop. - Oh, yes.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45And Tracy's criminal record is an inspiration to us all.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48DOOR SLAMS
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Tracy?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55What are you doing back? Oh, don't tell me you've got fired.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Why are you bringing this up?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05This is five years old.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06And I thought you knew.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10If I knew about it, I'd have said something.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Well, we were trying to protect you!
0:15:13 > 0:15:14And we were right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17She never even applied for visiting rights.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18You should have told me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21At least I'd have known she was thinking about me.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I'm sorry.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It felt like the right thing to do at the time.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29What other secrets have you kept from me?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Have I got a dad somewhere out there I don't know about?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Brothers? Sisters? Am I twins?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Tracy, just calm down! We can talk about this...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I trusted you and you betrayed me!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'll never be able to trust you again.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Oh, well, now you know how I felt after you stole my money!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It doesn't go in there!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It goes in the compost bin!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Johnny, what are you doing? Get off!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I'm going to put this in the compost bin!- Johnny, let go!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Tracy?- What?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21This can't go on.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25You have been late for work every day.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And when you're meant to do lunch, you go out,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and worse, and even more unforgivable,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35is that you keep on breaking your promises to the kids.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I do not!
0:16:36 > 0:16:40There's Carmen, Lily,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Frank, Gus...
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Hmm? You keep letting them down and it happens every day!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50And you out of all people should know,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54you cannot break your promise to children in care.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Come on, Tracy. You better get your act together, otherwise you're out!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You can't fire me!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You're not in charge, only Mike can fire me!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Tracy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Kids, go on, off you go.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11If you don't mind, Gina, I'll deal with this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Listen, I've let things slide because I thought you'd find your feet.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23But your behaviour today has been completely unacceptable.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And if you don't change your attitude, well...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28we're going to have to let you go.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Let me save you the trouble.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31I quit!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34# Keep on runnin'
0:17:36 > 0:17:38# Keep on hidin'
0:17:40 > 0:17:42# One fine day, I'm gonna be the one
0:17:42 > 0:17:44# To make you understand
0:17:44 > 0:17:48# Oh yeah, I'm gonna be your man... #
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Don't they look great, Lily?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07The clothes are too big.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10We're just having a laugh. Fancy some sparklers?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Rosie doesn't like stuff in her hair.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15She'll love it, it's like fairy dust.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17She won't like it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20She will, look! It's amazing.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Eurgh!- I told you not to!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I thought she'd like it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You never listen!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I don't want to be best friends with you any more.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Come on, I'll wash that off.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Is that what you wanted?- Yes.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Do you want another one?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46No, thank you. One each. Sapphire's next.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Good luck!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That's a weird question.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Give them back.- No.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Why not?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- They look great.- They look stupid.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23People are going to laugh at me.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Well, why did you wear them then?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Cos my others are being washed. - Oh, wow, they look great.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31You look just like Peter Pan.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Tee...
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Can Carmen move into your room?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Yeah. OK.- Cool, let's go.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Wait.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Carmen is not moving into your room.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Why not?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Why can't she stay in your room?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Me and Carmen ain't friends anymore.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- She made Poppy cry.- Carmen?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Well, she didn't mean to, but...
0:20:05 > 0:20:09she just keep interfering. She wants to take over.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Lily, I think... I think she might just want to be your friend.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You should give her another chance.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Really?- Yeah. then she won't have to move in with Tee.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Liam?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yo.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Lily doesn't want to be friends any more.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35That's how it is in a place like this. You'll get used to it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38But you're in my room, I've got nowhere to sleep.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yep, the pink palace is now Liam's lair.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's not like you're homeless, you've still got a bed.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46In a room where I'm not wanted.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Listen.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You and Lily, you've just gotta get used to each other.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58It's a big deal, living with someone you're not used to.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Is it? - One of the biggest things ever.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Look at me, I blew me foster parents up!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Did you blow Lily up?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Listen, you're doing better than me already.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Just give 'em a bit of space, eh? And don't blow 'em up.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Yeah?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What are you doing out here?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25What do you think?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Last bottle of lemonade.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Want some?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So, why'd you come back to the Dumping Ground?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Needed a job.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yeah, but here?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47You don't have to pretend with me.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49What?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51"Being back here, it sucks, right?"
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I worked so hard to get away from this place and now I'm back.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Well, I was.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You showed some back there.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Everyone was watching, weren't they?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Not everyone, but the people who weren't,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09they had it acted out for 'em.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Oh, no!
0:22:11 > 0:22:12It was a laugh.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15"I quit!" Tshhh!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Oh! What was I thinking?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, forget it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It's done.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27You don't see me crying over something I can't change.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29You wanna see someone cry?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Go write in Gus's notebook.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Who told you?
0:22:34 > 0:22:35He did, of course.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Well,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38that's your "Liam time" up.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So drink up and shove off.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Takes a bit of getting used to.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And when the storm came,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Princess Rosie, Princess Poppy and Princess Lily
0:23:04 > 0:23:09went and sheltered underneath a tent made of feathers and leaves...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13going to ask Mike if we can change bedrooms.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'm sorry I've been such a pain,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20but I hope we can still be friends.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I want you to have this.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Thanks.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41..a tent made of feathers and leaves.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Is Carmen in our story?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Do you want her to be?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Carmen?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Yeah?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59You don't have to ask Mike to move rooms. I want you to stay.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We all do.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Thanks, Lily!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I have a question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Mike, I'm really sorry about earlier.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- It's OK.- No, it's not OK.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I made a mistake, I... I want to stay.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27I'm sorry, Tracy, but it's not that simple.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- But...- Look.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I don't think that you made a mistake. I think I did.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37The business with the letter
0:24:37 > 0:24:40has shown me just how hard it is for you to come back.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I shouldn't have said you could come and work here.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44But I can do it!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'll turn up to work on time,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I won't make any promises I can't keep!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I'll make it up to the children. Please, Mike!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I need this job.- OK.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm sorry, Tracy.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58It's been a really tough decision,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00but...but it's for the best.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03As much as I would like to help you,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05the kids come first.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I have to do what's best for them.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I have a list to read out.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh, erm, can we hear it later?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yes, you can hear it later,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17but you need to hear it now too.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19OK.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Things Tracy has done right -
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Rosie says Tracy makes her laugh.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37Lily says Tracy's the only other person Poppy lets tie her shoelaces.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Sapphire says Tracy was rude to a boy who phoned her.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43She says that's a good thing.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Liam says he likes it with Tracy here,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48because he's not the only one causing trouble.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51That might have been a joke.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Geoff likes Tracy, Gus.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Tee says Tracy makes...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57OK, thanks, Gus, thanks.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I have 11 more things Tracy has done right...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That's OK, but I think I've got your point. Yep.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now, why don't you leave us alone, please?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Tracy and I need to talk.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Seems like the kids want you to stay.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And if you do,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22you are making a huge commitment to these children, right?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25You can't keep letting them down.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I won't. I promise.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I know I've got to stop living in the past and move on.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32All right. How are you going to do that?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Mike, I've no idea.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36But I think I know where to start.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39'So, I guess what I want to say is
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'sometimes, having a fresh start
0:26:43 > 0:26:45'doesn't mean doing something completely new.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49'Sometimes it means doing something that you've done before,
0:26:49 > 0:26:50'but in a new way.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53'Moving forward instead of looking back.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57'A wise young man told me something this afternoon,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59'which made me realise -
0:26:59 > 0:27:01'tomorrow starts today.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03'This is my first column and my fresh start.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06'So, to all my readers - Happy New Life's Eve.'
0:27:06 > 0:27:09ALL: Yeaaah!
