Tracy Beaker Returns

Disclaimer: I own no-one apart from Izzie&Alexia{:

Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, it means alot!:D

It's been a week since the necklace stealing incident and everyone had decided to forgive Izzie. Alexia admitted to Carmen and Mike it was her but they didn't give her a hard time about it like they had done to Izzie but it wasn't like anyone noticed. Today, it was Alexia's birthday and Izzie and Rick had some stuff planned for her. Yeah, sounds pretty weird that she was doing stuff for her sister after everything that happened but they made up and that's all what matters.

.

Izzie pulled her hair into a ponytail as she studied herself in the mirror to see whether she was ready. When she was finished, she went over to her bed and fished under it before pulling out a New Look bag. Emptying the clothes onto the bed, she began to wrap them into the wrapping paper that she'd place on the bed that morning. After she'd finished the final pieces, she picked them up and walked over to the door before opening it and walking out. The only people up was Tee, Harry and Rick and she knew this by the voices downstairs.

Walking into the living room, she placed the presents onto the table before making her way into the kitchen. Sitting at the table was Tee, Harry and Rick who were eating their breakfast and talking. She joined them at the table and poured herself a bowl of cornflakes and began to take a mouthful. It was completely silent until Rick began to speak.

"So, are you ready for your sisters birthday?" He asked, standing up and taking his plate over to the sink.

"Yeah. I've just put her present in the living room with the rest of them." She spoke, taking another mouth full of her breakfast.

She finished the rest and carried her plate over to the sink before giving it a quick wash. When she was finished, she made her way out of the kitchen and into the living room with Rick. They could hear footsteps upstairs and they knew everyone was awake so Rick made sure the presents were neat before sitting down.

.

Alexia opened the last of her presents and placed the star wrapping paper into the black bin bag that Mike thought was a good idea. She quickly thanked everyone with a hug before scooping the items into her arms and walking out the room to put them away safe. Izzie smiled as she watched her sister walk out the room and turned to Rick. She loved seeing her sister happy even if she did hate her the first few days she arrived. Alexia had become friends with everyone, even Elektra had befriended her which was a surprise.

Izzie whisped something into Rick's ear before the pair stood up and walked out of the living room. They made their way up the corridor and towards the office where Gina and Mike were doing some paperwork. Rick knocked on and waiting before hearing a mumbled yes by Mike. They walked in and closed the door behind them so no-one could hear what they were planning. Gina looked up from the computer that she was typing at while Mike looked up from the file he was reading. Probably Alexia's.

"What is it?" Gina asked, leaning back on her chair and folding her arms.

"Me and Rick were hoping we could throw a party for Alexia, you know to make her feel welcome."

Mike smiled before standing up and walking towards the pair "Yeah, that's a great idea. Tell you what, why don't we go into town this afternoon and get the stuff then set it all up."

Rick nodded but stopped before replying "But..we want it to a surprise so Alexia can't know."

"I have to take some stuff to the charity shop later on, I could always take her with me. Keep her enterained!" Gina said smiling.

"Yes thank you." Izzie said before walking out the room. Well, this is going to be fun to try and get Alexia to go and help Gina.

.

It took alot of persuasion to get Alexia to go and help Gina but she finally agreed after a while. Mike, Rick and Izzie had gone out later that morning to go and get all the stuff they needed for the party. Now, everyone was helping them get the party ready in the living room. Rick and Izzie were putting the banners up while Tee, Liam and Frank blew up a few balloons. The rest were with Mike in the kitchen getting the food ready, a few of them appearing every few minutes to see whether we were done.

After 10 minutes, the living room was now a party room. A massive banner with 'Happy Birthday Alexia' was hanging above the pool table with four balloons attached to each corner. A few balloons were hanging up on the door with a small banner underneath which said 'Happy 13th Birthday'. The food was placed on the pool table and several plastic cups and plates were set out on the table by the door. The sound of the mini bus was heard from the open window and everyone ran to infront of the pool table ready to surprise her.

Just a few seconds later, a figure was seen at the door with Gina. Alexia made her way slowly into the living room and everyone smiled at her before shouting "Surprise" towards her. She laughed a little and covered a mouth of a sign of her been shocked. She walked over to everyone and thanked them before turning on the TV and turning to music channel. Yeah, she was going to enjoy this party.

.

"So, who organised all this?" Alexia asked as she took a sip from her cup. She was stood by the pool table with Izzie and Rick having a convosation about her party.

"We did. I wanted you to feel like you were fitting in so I asked Rick to help." Izzie replied, reaching her hand out and grabbing a cocktail sausage before shoving it in her mouth and chewing it.

"Really? It's the best thing anyone ever done for me, thank you the pair of you." Alexia smiled and began to walk of, leaving Izzie and Rick alone. Rick looked at the floor for a moment and started to think. He looked up and gripped Izzie's arm softly before pulling her out of the room into the corridor. Izzie looked at him slightly confused and watched as Rick let go of her arm.

"What is it Rick?" She asked as she looked into his eyes. Bad idea, shouldn't have done that she thought as she heard him sigh loudly.

"I don't know how to say this without making myself sound like a fool." He said, looking down again and then back into her eyes.

"Rick, just tell me what it is." She said, playing with her fingers and sighing.

"I know this is going to make me sound like a fool but.." He paused before adding "I like you.."

Izzie's eyes widen and she looked at Rick like he was some sort of idiot "Are you asking me out?"

He nodded his head before adding "Yeah so what's your answer?"

So what do you think? I know it was a cheesey way to get Rick to admit his feelings for Izzie but it had to be done, I couldn't resist any longer. What do you think Izzie's answer is going to be? Pretty please review and tell me what you think. Sorry if this wasn't my best chapter but oh well, hope you enjoyed.x
