Aaron POV:
I walked out the car with my care worker, John, and walked towards Elm Tree House. 'I'm back, this is going to be long.' I thought while John knocked on the door. I leaned against the porch wall and stared into the sky, waiting for someone to answer the door. Eventually, a small boy a bit younger than me opened the door. He had a notepad in his hand and when he met eyes with mine he immediately started to take notes. "Ah! Gus! Do you know where Mike, or Gina are?" John asked, knowing the small boy. "Gina's inside, Mike's not here yet. Do you want help with your bags?" He asked me. "Yeah sure. Thank you." I said while flashing him a smile. He nodded and took a bag that was on the floor next to my right. "Follow me. John, Gina should be in the kitchen." Toby said while appearing at the door. "Hey Toby." I said to my longtime friend. "Hey Aaron, glad to see you're back!" John nodded and said to me. "Don't take too long, Aaron, we have to inform Gina that you are back at the house." He told me. I nodded and followed Gus inside, as John followed Toby into the kitchen. We went into the lounge and I dropped my bags on a sofa that was next to the staircase. "I'm Gus Carmichael. And you are.." He asks expecting an answer. "Oh, I'm Aaron Bianco. Nice to meet you." I say extending my hand. He accepts and shakes it. Then I hear the sound of people running down the stairs. I look at the stairs to see three girls running down. Then I saw Carmen and Tee. "Hey Aaron!" Carmen and Tee exclaimed. "Heya girls, who is this?" I asked while pointing to the taller girl in the middle. "Oh her, she is Lilly, Lilly this is Aaron Bianco. He's been here since he was a baby. Lilly's been here a couple months after you left." I nodded in understanding. "Ah I see. Welcome to the Dumping Ground then Lilly." I said to her. "And is Gus new here as well?" I asked, getting a nod in response. "Well, I'm gonna go say hi to Gina and maybe start a new experiment when Liam gets home." I said while walking to the hallway that led to the kitchen. On the way there I bumped into Frank, Johnny and Toby in the living room playing pool. Even though Toby already knew I was back, it seemed Johnny and Frank didn't. "Boys, I'm back!" I exclaimed while walking into the living room. Both Frank and Johnny turned around and shouted, "Aaron!" Seconds later, they ran to me while hugging me. "Now, now boys, I haven't even seen Gina yet. Toby." I said, the last part was a greeting to Toby. I walked into the kitchen to see Gina continuing to cut some vegetables and John leaving out the other way of the kitchen. "Gina!" I said while hugging her. "Ahh, my baby you're back. Are you okay?" She asked me. "Yeah, I'm fine Gina. Can I go to my room?" I asked Gina. She looked quizzical and hesitated to tell me something. "What? What is it?" I asked. "Well, since you got fostered, we gave your old room to Gus. We didn't think you'd be back." Gina said. "Oh that's alright, so, where am I sleeping then."
10 minutes later:
Me and Gina were moving a mattress into a spare room they had, it was directly across from Carmen's room. There was already a bed frame in there and I already had my bed sheets so all we needed was a mattress and a colour change. To which we find the perfect size for my bed. Me and Gina found one in the storage closet. We eventually put the mattress onto the bed frame and after I put the bed sheets on I heard shouting coming from Liam's old room. I ran there to see what the commotion was about then I saw Lilly aiming a chair out the window and her sisters were screaming. Carmen was trying to reassure her that it was Liam and I saw Saph come from the corner of my eye. "Alright Saph." I greeted with a nod. "Hi Aaron, when did you get back?" She asked with a smile. "I got back like a couple of minutes ago. Ay Liam you alright mate." I said walking towards the window. "Aaron, Saph." He greeted with a small wave. "It's alright Lilly. This is Liam. This is his old room and he always comes back through the window. Me and Saphire helped Liam through the window and I heard Mike rushinv to the room. "Ohh noo, Liam. You were right behind me!" Mike said approaching Lily's room. "What can I say Mike, I just had to make an entrance! So. Where am I staying then?" Liam asked while rubbing his hands together. "Come'ere." Mike said slightly irritated. "Ay Mike, can I paint my room now?!" I asked. "Huh, oh yeah you can. You wanted it to be grey and black right! The paint is in my office!" He shouted to get my attention. I nodded and went down to Mike's office. All the paint I asked for was there. I took two barrels of grey and two barrels of black, with two paint brushes. I brought it all upstairs to my new room then I got all my stuff from the couch that was on the sofa near the staircase. I put all my stuff on the bed and started to paint my room, well not just me. Almost every kid in the dumping ground was helping me, heck even Harry and Saph were as well. After finishing the paint job, I put all my clothing in the wardrobe and my posters had to wait a bit before going on the wall. Finally Mike arrived, "Alright Aaron, let's get this room do-" He looked gobsmacked at the fact that I had already finished. "Everyone helped me do this, look I even managed to bring my desk in here." I explained to him while putting some clothes in the fairly large wardrobe. Suddenly I saw Tee pull out some soda that had a wrapper on and the words, 'Bianco's Fruit Twist!' "Aannd I'll be taking that." I said while taking the soda I made at my foster parent's house. "What's that?" Johnny asked. "Well, Johnny. This is your favourite soda, Bianco's Fruit Twist. It's got a mixture of, mango, strawberry, banana and orange. The taste is exquisite and it's fizzy." I explained to him. "Wow can I have some!?" He asked me. "Sorry Johnny but this bottle is used for experiments ONLY as you can see it says on the packet. You guys can try my other bottle." I staed while handing them another bottle with the enscription saying, "Bianco's Fruit Twist! TO DRINK!" We went to the kitchen and everyone tasted my homemade fruit twist and had immediately grown attached, Even Mike and Gina asked for more. Suddenly I heard the front door slam. "Who's that at the door?" I asked curiously. I looked towards the door and saw a familiar figure running upstairs and into the bathroom. "Who was that?" I asked everyone in the kitchen. "Tracy." I heard everyone reply. "Tracy, as in Tracy Beaker?" I asked curiously. Everyone nodded. After a while of silence we heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. "Hiya Tracy, how are you." I asked her when she walked in. "Do you two know each other?" Staph asked me. "Yeah, me and Aaron met her in prison!" Liam said while jumping off the counter. "Well, it was the police station, not the prison Liam." I corrected him. "Ah. Same thing basically." He said and I could see everyone facepalm at that comment. "Tracy, what were you doing in the police station?" I asked curiously. "Oh I was just there." She answered. Liam nodded in understanding while I wasn't convinced. I shrugged it off and everyone was going outside for a football match. I was gonna join but Tracy pulled me aside. She brought me into the closet and locked the door. "Hey, why'd you bring me in here?" I asked. "Look, Aaron, it's alright if you're sad." She started. "Sad about what?" I asked her. "Sad about being sent back to the dumping ground everytime you get fostered. I saw your file, you've been sent back 7 times?" She continued. "Ah well, it's 14 now. That old thing must be out of date ahahahaha!" I joked. "Aaron, I must have been sent back like a bajillion times. It's alright if you're keeping your emotions in, you don't have to do that with me." I looked confused and said, "I'm fine, maybe those others will be sad about it but I'm fine. I like it here, much rather be here than be at the police station hahaha." I laughed. She smiled and said, "Okay, just know that I'm here if you need anything." She said. "Well, now that I think about it I could do with some money." I said hoping to get a reaction out of her. She scoffed and asked, "Who do you think I am, a charity?" She finished the question with a smirk. "I mean, you said I could come to you if I needed anything, I need some money." I answered logically. "Ahhh, so you're the logical one in that little pack of yours." She said. "What pack? What are you talking about?" I asked. "You, Liam and Frank. Liam is the prankster, Frank is the slightly more sensible one and you, I hadn't figured out what you were until now, you're the logical one." I just gave a fake surprised look that she figured it out and went to play football.
