Chapter 1: Tracy's Perfect Christmas
No one's POV
It was a cold, winter's day in the DG and Tracy was sat on the window sill watching for the postman to arrive.
Tracy's POV
"Sometime in between now and Christmas that postman will bring lot's of massive presents from my Mum" I said as I was watching, daydreaming. "Your Mum is as rare of a sighting as a ghost, Tracy Beaker. Besides, if there are any big presents that come in the post they will be from my Dad. This year he promised me an iPad and a wide screen TV!" boasted Justine. She is such a pain as she stole my best friend, Louise, and picks on me about my Mum. We're deadly enemies, me and Justine.
Louise's POV
Tracy always brags that her Mum will bring her the biggest presents and cards but she's never had them. I bet you that she doesn't even remember what her Mum's handwriting looks like! Anyway Justine didn't steal me from her; I didn't want to be her friend anymore seeing as she didn't keep in touch while she was being fostered. A true friend is always with you at the end of the phone line if not in person. That's what it's normally like in the DG.
Carly's POV
I feel so bad about forgetting all about Tracy, after all she is my daughter, but this year I'm going to make it up to her. I'll send her lots of presents. I got a letter from her saying that the other kids were teasing her because she was the only one who didn't get any presents or cards from family. So I'll send her something special, let's see... a tablet and an urrrmmm... an iPod and... and... a wide screen TV for her bedroom. Also I will contact her care workers soon after Christmas to set up a meeting. So their names are Jenny, Mike, Duke and Elaine, her social worker.
Dear Jenny, Mike, Duke and Elaine
It's Carly Beaker here, I was wondering if we could set up a meeting for me and Tracy on January 16th next year.
Hope to see her soon, send her my love
From Carly Beaker
PS. XXX for Tracy.
Tracy's POV
It's Christmas Eve and the cupboard for posted presents is full, problem is, not a single one is from my Mum, or any of my family (if I have any other relatives).
It's 7:00pm. I'm not going to write tonight because well, as you know it's the night before Christmas. So, Night.
It's morning. It's Christmas Day and there is a giant present, and medium present and a small present under the tree! Justine ran over to those presents and started to try and open them. "Justine STOP! They're not for you, they're for Tracy!" What? They were for me! Justine gave me a dirty look before walking off to the kitchen. Nobody followed after her to see if she was ok. Not even Louise or Jenny! Everyone was watching me as I opened my first present, the smallest one. It was my very own iPod! The medium present was and iPad and a Kindle in the same package! However, you'll never guess what the last one, the biggest one, was. It was my very own wide screen TV and Jenny and Mike and even Elaine gave me permission to have it put up in my room. Justine was so jealous as she asked her Dad for two of those things but didn't get them. "Jenny, I think Tracy Beaker switched the labels so she could have the best presents. All those are MINE!"Screamed Justine. She started trying to steal my gifts but Mike pulled her away. "Well that's where you're wrong Justine, because these presents arrived in the post last night from Carly." Jenny corrected. Justine looked at everyone blankly and asked "Who's Carly?" I looked at her as Duke answered "Carly Beaker, Tracy's Mum."
