A/N: If anyone wants to beta this give me a shout.
Loud arguing could be heard throughout Elm Tree as the door opened emitting a young woman into the house. Sighing theatrically she shook her head in exasperation as she made her way into the office.
"What's happened now?" she asked, looking towards Mike and Gina for answers.
"The TV. What Else?" Replied Gina as she rummaged through the piles of paperwork that littered the office.
"It's still broken?" Tracy asked a look of disbelief passing over her face as she hung up her coat and dropped her bag onto the floor.
"It can't be repaired until Monday. We'll just have to keep them amused till then" Mike interjected. "You can get them to clean up the living room for Saturday. I don't know how they manage to get it in that state"
"Why what's happening Saturday?
"Someone's coming to start a placement here. We told you about it last week when I authorised it."
"Oh, I'll go get started then." Smiling Tracy left the office to find the kids. Not that it would be hard she thought, all I have to do is follow the noise. Grimacing at the noise increase as she entered the living room, Tracy fought to be heard over the racket.
"Hey guys." Rolling her eyes as she was ignored, she stepped up unto a chair. "Guys!" she shouted, pleased with herself as a shocked silence filled the room. "Mike wants you to clean up in hear for
Saturday".
A chorus of arguments from the children followed this announcement. Liam, Sapphire and Elektra, being the most vehement.
"Oh, stop moaning. The sooner you start, the sooner you finish. Now hurry up. I have to go start on dinner." Tracy then walked away smiling at the complaints still coming from the room. "Just another day" she muttered.
