A/N: Chapter ten as promised, still no more reviews :( I'm gonna stop posting for a bit as no one's reading it.
Tracy had told all of the children about the wedding. "Oh, that's so romantic!" Carmen sighed, clutching Lily.
"So when is the wedding?" Tee asked. Tracy reached in her pocket, and pulled out bits of paper. Everyone grabbed one and scanned it.
"Oh, it's next year!" Sapphire exclaimed. Tracy frowned and pouted.
"What about it?" She asked. Sapphire grinned and shoved her invitation back in her pocket.
"Oh, I was just thinking, it's too far away!" Sapphire replied. Tracy smiled and pulled them all in for a hug.
Tee was getting excited. It was only four days until her birthday! She was sitting on her bed, reading a book. Bea came in and sat next to her.
"What's up, Tee?" She asked. Tee smiled and hugged her knees happily.
"I'm just getting a bit excited because it's my birthday soon!" She replied. Bea frowned.
"How many days away?" Bea asked.
"Four days away, June the seventeenth" Tee said. Bea was shocked. Her mouth hung open and Tee closed it gently. "What, what's wrong?" Bea laughed and shook her head.
"Nothing, it's just that that's my birthday too!" She exclaimed. Tee shook her head too.
"No way!" Tee laughed, and hugged Bea. "Do you want to have a joint birthday party?" She asked. "The birthday parties here are really cool. Mike and Gina get us presents, there's cake, dancing, and it's so fun!" Bea nodded and grinned.
"Sure! It'll be great!"
Johnny knocked on the office door. "Come in." Mike called. Johnny came in and shut the door behind him. "How can I help you, Johnny?" Mike asked, not looking up from his computer screen.
"Well, uhm, Mike? Bea and Tee share the same birthday, and they want a joint party. Is that okay? I mean wouldn't it be better if they had separate parties?" Johnny asked, sitting down on a swively chair. He was secretly hoping that Mike would say no, and completely ban the idea.
"Of course they can have one, if that's what they want." Mike replied. Johnny sighed, and stood up.
"But wouldn't it be better if they had separate parties, I mean, are you sure Mike?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, I don't see any problem with it, do you? Mike answered, raising his eyebrows in a questioning sort of way.
"No, I just thought ... Don't worry. Okay, thanks Mike." He replied, and walked out of the door. Followed by Mike.
"Listen up everybody!" Mike shouted. He had called a house meeting in the living room and everybody was present. He was going to discuss Bea's and Tee's joint birthday party. "We have arranged that Bea's and Tee's birthday party will be on the day of their birthday, we are going to have a kind of disco with lots of music. It is a nicely dressed party so everyone must wear nice clothes. There will be a chocolate fountain too," Mike said, his last remark gaining a look of approval from all the residents of Elm Tree House. "But!" He shouted as every one had started talking at once. "But! You have to go in a couple, if you are not with someone else then you can't come," Mike grinned at the looks on their faces and walked out.
"So who are you going to ask then Liam?" Frank asked his best mate, Liam who was standing, leaning against the doorway to his room.
"Well, I was thinkin' abou' asking Bea ta be honest," Liam answered, "Do ya think she'll say yes? Frank grinned at him and nodded.
"Why don't you go and ask her now, she's on her own in her and Tee's room!" He said and Liam grinned then nodded and walked out.
The Dumping Ground was getting ready for Bea and Tee's birthday, so Tracy took the girls out for a milkshake in the locale cafe. "So, girls, what have you asked for?" Asked Tracy, sipping her strawberry milkshake carefully through her long pink straw. Tee put her cup down on the table.
"I've asked for fabric and sewing stuff." She said. Tracy grinned and nodded.
"I haven't really asked for anything" Bea frowned, "I just thought I'd let them get what they want for me,"
"I'm sure Mike and Gina will get you great presents," Tracy replied with a knowing grin, patting her on the back.
"Who are you going with Tee?" Bea asked suddenly remembering what Mike had said. Tee blushed a deep red before answering the question
"Oh, umm, me? I'm going with Tyler," She said, talking to the table. Tracy and Bea grinned, happy for Tee. "But, what about you Bea, who asked you?" This time it was Bea's turn to blush as she said.
"Liam asked me," Tracy's eyebrows shot up but she remained quiet.
"And..." Tee pursued. Bea cringed.
"I said yes," Tee grinned again and Tracy looked happily surprised.
When Tracy, Tee and Bea got home, everyone was ready for the party. Tracy told the girls to go upstairs and get dressed for the party. Bea was wearing a blue velvet dress that stopped just above her knees, and around her neck was a beautiful silver chain, on the chain was a bright blue, gleaming sapphire stone and she wore matching studs in her ears.
Tee was wearing blue too, as usual but she was wearing a simple shirt and a skirt that suited her perfectly. They came back downstairs and went into the living room. All of the lights were turned off. The two girls looked at each other, confused.
"Maybe it's in the kitchen" Bea whispered. They started to walk out of the living room, and suddenly a bright light blared in their eyes.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone yelled, throwing confetti in the air. Bea and Tee laughed. They were pushed towards the sofa where the presents were waiting - in Christmas wrapping paper. Tee and Bea looked at Mike and Gina, puzzled.
"Sorry," Gina began, "We asked Tracy to get some paper in town, but she forgot." She finished, rolling her eyes at Tracy. They all laughed again and the girls started to open their presents.
Tee ripped open a parcel from Carmen. Inside was a t-shirt with a cup of tea printed on it. Tee exclaimed.
"I love it!" And pulled Carmen into a hug. Carmen blushed and giggled. Bea picked up her present from Tee.
"It's nothing big," Tee apologized, "But I hope you like it." Bea opened it and found a gold heat-shaped locket. Inside was a picture of her and Tee.
"Aww... Thank you!" Bea and Tee hugged. They opened the rest of their presents and cleared away the paper. Just as they were about to eat Mike cleared his throat.
"Girls, I hope you liked all of your presents. However, there is just one more. Come outside and you will see." he said mysteriously. Everyone trooped outside and gasped. On the stony driveway stood a huge purple bunkbed, with a golden envelope on the bottom bunk duvet. Bea picked up the envelope and tore it open, Tee at her side.
"Open your eyes, don't be in gloom, think of something that rhymes with 'doom'" the envelope read. The two girls looked at each other. "Doom... Doom.." Tee mumbled. Mike and Gina smiled. Bea frowned.
"Is it.. Uhmm... Loom?" she asked. Mike and Gina shook their heads. She frowned again. After many guesses, Tee made one more.
"Is it room?" Mike shrugged, a different reaction from all of the other guesses. They all ran back inside and up to the girls' room. Bea and Tee burst through the door. On Tee's bed was another envelope. Tee picked it up and opened it. "Happy Birthday girls! We hope you have a good day! To treat you, you two are going to have a room makeover! Also, Mike, Gina and Tracy are taking you all to France for a four-night holiday!" Everyone gasped, including Tee and Bea. "Do you like it?" Mike said, "Everyone gets to go to France,"
A/N: It was getting boring so I introduced a holiday :).
