So this part of the story, I would say a couple of weeks after the previous chapter as the kids are going back to school. So please enjoy and review :)
(At Tracy's and Cam's)(Cam and Tracy are sat at the table eating breakfast)
Cam: So the kids are going back to school today?
Tracy: Yep. Well apart from Lily who is coming over to do her work at the dumping ground until her seizures calm down
Cam: Oh yeah, how is she?
Tracy: I think she's alright, I hope so
Cam: Yeah me too
Tracy: Right, i've gotta go (She walks out whilst grabbing Cam's toast)
(The titles roll)
(At Elm Tree House, mostly everyone is in the kitchen wearing their school uniform)
Sapphire: (Whilst walking in)I hate Monday's, double English with Miss Sprogg, yuck
(Liam turns around)
Elektra: Hey Liam, don't forget you've got a practice exam paper today in science
Liam: Oh no
(Lily walks in with Gina)
Elektra: Oh Lily, here again with no one else to really talk too
Gina: That's enough Elektra
Elektra: Maybe school should of done something before chucking you out
Lily: They didn't chuck me out, they've said because of my increased seizures to stay here temperally
Elektra: So you have to do all your school work here, all alone
Gina: Elektra, which part of enough, do you not understand?
Liam: (Tuts)At least when Lily was at school, she didn't spend every single lunch time. Alone (People laugh)
Gina: Stop it Liam. I'm sure when Elektra properly settles in, she'll make some new friends
Sapphire,Liam,Johnny & Tee: No (They laugh)
Gina: (To Lily)Lily, i'm on a course today and Mike's got the day off
Lily: Oh great, that means I can look in at Poppy and Rosie
Gina: Your tutor has left you loads of work and Tracy is going to supersize you
Lily: Tracy?!
Gina: I'll see you later (She walks out)
Johnny: I wish I was staying at home with you Lily
Sapphire: Me too, even if it is with Beaker
Liam: Sapph, you're not seriously thinking of skiving off. I thought you were looking foward to this sports day thingy (Whilst standing up with people around them)And triple chocolate sponge
Toby: And Maths, with Miss Pellen
Sapphire: Oooh. It's not such a big deal. I'll much rather spend the day with Lily. I don't see why I can't have some home schooling aswell. Especially if Beaker's in charge
Elektra: You'd never, ever be able to pull that off (walks out)
Sapphire: Have a nice day at school (emphasis)Lex (Little wave)
(Next scene in the front outside: Tee, Gus, Liam & Toby are leaving to go to school)
Tracy: Have a good day at school guys(Frank is closely behind Liam)Frank, your physio therapist is coming round today. Do you remember?
Frank: But i'll miss the sports game
Tracy: It's all arranged Frank
Frank: But i'm the scorer
Tracy: Sorry Frank
Frank: I don't want to miss school,not today. It's not fair
Tracy: I know (She walks in with him)
Liam: (Shouts back)See ya mate
(Back in the house, Elektra is walking down stairs but stops) (Time cut to Elektra sat at the bottom of the stairs giving out a fake pain shout) (Tracy runs in to see Elektra) (Then everyone else who is downstairs runs in)
Tracy: Elektra, what's happend?
Elektra: I fell down the stairs, my foot really hurts
Tracy: Do you really think i'll fall for that?
Elektra: (Mad)You calling me a liar?
Tracy: No, sorry
Elektra: I'd better go to school (About to get up with her stuff)
Tracy: Woah Elektra, I can't let you go anywhere
Elektra: Oh, K (Tracy helps Elektra onto the couch as Frank walks off)Have a nice day at school Sapphire
Tracy: (To Sapphire and Johnny)Yeah come on you two, you're gonna be late
Sapphire: Don't worry about us Tracy, me and Johnny aren't going anywhere
Tracy: (Confused)What?
Johnny: School sucks
Sapphire: As from today, we're gonna be home schooled
Tracy: You can't do that
Johnny: (Points in Lily's direction)Lily does
Tracy: Oh come on guys, you've gotta go to school to learn about all this stuff that will eventually help you in later in life
Sapphire: We're not going Tracy and there is nothing you can do about it
(Johnny, Sapphire & Lily walk in direction of the living room)
(Carmen and Harry walking down the stairs)
Carmen: You alright Tracy?
(Elektra screams in fake pain)
Tracy: Yeah, everything's cool go on quick
Harry: Keep your hair on
Carmen: We're going (They walk out)
(Tracy in the office on the phone: It's on voicemail 'Hello, this is Mike Milligan, please leave a message after the beep)
Tracy: (On the phone)Mike, it's Tracy. I've got a bit of an urgent situation. Can you please come over as soon as possible please? Bye(Puts the phone down and walks out)
(The scence cuts to Sapphire, Lily and Johnny in the living playing Fifa. Tracy walks in)
Tracy: Lily, it's about time you did some work now
Sapphire: (Little pause)Don't be a spoilt sport Beaker
Johnny: Yeah chill out Tracy
Tracy: Chill out. You want me too chill out? (A pause)Right that's it
Sapphire: (They stop the game)What is?
Tracy: You wanna stay home, meet your new tutor
(Scene cut into the kitchen. Tracy is standing by the back door with a blackboard to do with fractions) (On the table is loads of food as Sapphire, Johnny & Lily are sat round the table)
Tracy: (Whilst working on the board)So 2/3 are bigger than 3/4. No(everyone around the table looks bored)it's gotta be the other way round. I don't know(Turns around to Sapphire)Pass me a bit of that cake there Sapph
Sapphire: (Stands up whilst getting the cake)What? This one(She takes a bite)This one tastes good
Tracy: Sapphire! Stop eating the equipment
Sapphire: OK (Puts it into Johnny's mouth)
Johnny: (Whilst all of them stand up)You want a fight?
Sapphire: Come on then (Lily, Johnny and Sapphire start shoving cake into each other's mouths)
Tracy: Oh come on guys, this isn't maths
Johnny: (To Sapphire)Have another quarter (Shoves it into Sapphire's mouth and they start to laugh)
Sapphire: (Grabs a bit more cake: To Tracy)Here, have some of this (Shoves cake into Tracy's mouth)
Mike: (Walks in whilst others are still mucking around)What on earth is going on in here?
Lily: (A pause as Lily grabs a bit of cake)An eigth of cake Mike? (Sapphire laughs)
(Tracy walks over to Mike)
Tracy: Oh, you got my message then
Mike: What message? I've just came into see how Lily's getting on (To Sapphire)And why aren't you and Johnny at school Sapphire?
Sapphire: (Turns to Mike)We've decided me and Johnny wanted to be home schooled too
Mike: Lily's a special case. You know that, the school will take her back the minute her seizures return to how they were before
Lily: I am here you know! And you can't force me to go to school Mike (Sits down)
Sapphire: And if Lily's not going, neither are we (She and Johnny sit down)
Tracy: I've tried everything I can
Mike: Right well then, there's only one thing we can do
Tracy: Phone Gina, tell her to get back from her course
Mike: No. Allow them to see about home tutoring
Tracy: (To Mike)You're not being serious
Mike: Of course I am
Tracy: But I can't take anymore, there on a final straw. There's these 3 here, Elektra's fallen down the stairs (Johnny looks confused)and hurt her foot. (Panicking)Frank's upstairs upstairs complaining because he's got a physio therapist coming
Mike: Deep breaths Tracy
Tracy: OK (Breathes heavy)Yeah
(Lily, Johnny & Sapphire starts to laugh)
Mike: Why don't you go for a walk and take a break?(Tracy walks out)I'll guess I have to take over here (Walking to the back of the door)
Sapphire: You! Are you being serious?!
Mike: Fractions (Sapphire throws her head back)Let's say I have a pie and I cut it-
Johnny: What kind of pie are we talking about here?
Mike: I don't really kno-
Johnny: There's no way I would buy a pie without knowing the flavour of it
Sapphire: Me neither, it could be the shop's original Beef & Onion
Lily: Or gruel and bogeys (They laugh)
Mike: The point is guys-
Sapphire: (Interupts)The point is Mike, this is extremly boring
Mike: Well, what would you want to learn about?
Johnny: (A pause and then sits up)How about why are all humans are on this planet or solar system?
(Next scene, Frank is in his room sorting through cards as Elektra walks in)
Elektra: Hey Frank, do you want to play cards?(No reply)Or something else, you can choose
Frank: Go away
Elektra: Well that's not very nice
Frank: Nice coming from you, are you having a laugh?
Elektra: Oh come on Frank, you should be happy with a day off school
Frank: I don't really have a choice, unlike certain people. How's your ankle?
Elektra: (Starts limping)Well one time it's alright and then all the other times, it's not
Frank: Whatever (Elektra sees Frank's equipment)
Elektra: Look, I am the scorer for all games
Frank: Elektra, give me them back (She runs out and then Frank follows)Elektra
(The next scene in the main area bit)(Mike is standing up at the front next to Johnny and Lily & Sapphire are sitting opposite on the couch)
Mike: OK everyone (You see a sculptor/model of a solar system and Mike sits down)
Johnny: I will present to you 3, the solar system (Sapphire gives Lily a funny look)I am going to demonstrate how a black hole actually works. The black hole sucks everything in, like this (turns the vaccum on and sucks stuff from the sculptor/model)
Mike: Erm, i'm not sure that's not a good idea (Sapphire and Lily start laughing)
Johnny: (Carries on)There is absoultley nothing that survives the black hole. The planets & stars (As soon as the model falls down Mike comes up to the front whilst Lily and Sapphire start laughing again)
(Elektra and Frank run in as soon as the vaccum turns off)
Frank: (Lily and Sapphire turn around)Mike, Elektra's got my sports equipment
Elektra: Er no I have not
Mike: Frank, what would Elektra want that for? (Hears Elektra fake pain)Oh my god (Whilst sitting her down next to Sapphire)How could you chase her around like that Frank?
Frank: But I-
Mike: If you've got nothing better to do at all, then you better join us lot (Bit louder)Right, well we'll get this place sorted out and then we'll start with Geography. Is that alright with you Elektra?
Elektra: Of course it is, it's my favourite subject
Tracy: (Walks in)Is everything going alright Mike?
Mike: Yeah it's going fine
Tracy: (To Frank)Frank, your physio therapist had to cancel, so it looks like you can do the sports afternoon then
Frank: But how can I do that when somone has hidden my equipment for it? (Walks out)
(Time cut, in the same room. Lily, Johnny, Sapphire & Elektra sat at tables watching Mike at the front looking really bored)
Mike: (Back turned)As we can all see, the river is flowing that goes on and on and on. This wears it out bit by bit by bit into the whole river (You can hear is voice becoming deeper and slower as everyone looks so bored and Elektra has falling asleep)
(Next scene, Frank has gone into Elektra's room looking for his things)
(Back to the previous scene) (Whilst Mike is still talking Sapphire has drawn something on a bit of paper and stuck it onto Elektra's back) (Sapphire, Johnny and Lily then attempt to sneak out)
Mike: (Turns around)Where are you lot going?
Sapphire: It's lunchtime Mike (he looks at his watch and nods his head, then the 3 run out)
(The next scene: Outside in the garden. Johnny, Lily & Sapphire are on the grass on blankets)
(They start eating sandwiches)
Sapphire: I don't think anything can be more ridiculous then school
Lily: But this has been one of my best days ever, it would of been so boring here on my own
Sapphire: Why are Tracy's sandwiches always seem to be droopy? I would swap the lot of that for just a tiny bite of triple chocolate sponge
Johnny: Ah, I agree with you there (Turns to Lily)Oh it's not just the sports thing today, singing without flashing lights
Lily: Really?
Johnny: I wish you would come
Sapphire: Me too, I mean I know I wouldn't be in the same year but it would still be good to pop in and see you. There giving away a free gold cup prize
Johnny: You'd probably win easy
(The next scene: In Elektra's bedroom which looks a bit of a mess now)
Elektra: (Walks in)Frank! Who said you could come into my room?!(Seen what he has broke)Do you actually think this funny?!My sister got me this! (Walks over to get Frank's equipment)Well see how you find this (Runs out with Frank following)
Frank: Elektra, I didn't mean too
(Next scene/time cut)(Out in the garden Sapphire, Lily and Johnny are still there where they were before as Elektra comes running out with Frank following)
(Sapphire gets up)
Sapphire: Elektra! (Running after her)Give Frank his stuff back now! (Johnny and Lily follow them)
Tracy: Elektra! (Appears with Mike) I'd thought you said you hurt your ankle
Mike: That is unacceptable to do something like that Elektra
Frank: She has hurt her ankle Mike (Johnny, Lily & Sapphire look at one another)One moment it's fine and the other moment's it's not (Gets the paper off of his back)I'm sorry about the stuff in your room
Elektra: (Seen what has been drawn on the paper)It's alright
Mike: Sorry, i'd just thought you were mucking around. Let me help you. Tracy? (They do help her)
Lily: Mike, Tracy. I want to go back to school
(They turn around)
Tracy: School, yeah that's great. I mean you seemed to of calmed down
Mike: OK, i'll see whether I can get your dad to ring the headteacher then
Frank: (Walks to Tracy)Come on Tracy, the sports scoring could start any second now (they walk off)
Mike: I'll help you Elektra (he helps her get up)It'll be alright, we'll do some geography work
(Johnny, Lily & Sapphire laugh)
Mike: (Turns around)Are you sure about this Lily?
Sapphire: She's positive. We'll try and keep her as calm as possible
Lily: I'm gonna make sure that my epilepsy doesn't get in the way of getting a good education
(Time cut/next scene to when people arrive home from school)
(Liam, Toby & Frank walk in through the door as Sapphire sees them)
Sapphire: Oh hi, you managed to get there on time Frank?
Frank: Only just but I did it all
Sapphire: Ah that's great then. If you want me to sort Elektra out the-
Frank: It's OK, I got there on time (Walks off with Toby upstairs)
Liam: So how was today?
Sapphire: Well first of all Tracy decided to be our tutor, then she freaked out after we had a cake fight so Mike took over. We managed to laugh over science, then we got really bored and got sent for lunch, then all this stuff with Frank and Elektra. But then Lily said she wanted to go back to school, if we keep her less stressed
Liam: Wow, it sounds like you've had an eventful day. So you back tommorow?
Sapphire: Looks like you've got to cope with me mostly full time now (They kiss and hug)
Liam: Right, i've got to go and get changed (He walks up stairs)
(Next scene: Carmen, Tee, Lily & Johnny)
Carmen: So you're defintley coming back?
Lily: Yep
Tee: What about your seizures?
Lily: The amount of fun stroke over boredness, I think is going to help. Well I hope so anyway
Tee: (To Johnny)And you? What were you doing?
Johnny: Well we had a cake fight to start off with
Lily: And then he decided to break a model of the solar system with the vaccum cleaner
Carmen: (Laughs)I wish I was there now
Lily: Believe me, at times you would of but the way Mike goes on about geography is so boring
Johnny: She has got a point there
(Next scene: Lily's dad by the door)
(With Johnny and Sapphire behind them)
Lily: Dad (they hug)What've the school said?
Steve: There going to give you a trial run then if you seem fine after that then they can put you back in full time
(Johnny and Sapphire high five)
Right that's the end of that chapter, I really hope you enjoyed it. Hopefully, you saw the link back to a Tracy Beaker episode because it is one of my favourites and I really hope you liked my interpretation of that. Please review :)
