The next day Aurora and Lydia spent the morning with Tyler and Rick. Just like they did at Burnywood. 40 minutes later Tyler and Lydia got bored so they decided to go and block the toilet. This left Rick and Aurora alone.

The two were sitting on Aurora's bed listening to music from Rick's mp3. As soon as the two younger ones left Rick took this as his chance to drape his arm around Aurora. Aurora was shocked but she liked it and leaned her head on his chest. Rick was gonna start to make a move but got distracted by all the noise coming from downstairs.

The two vacated the room and went downstairs to see all the children young people congregate in the living room talking to none other than Justine Littlewood. Tracy's worst enemy. Rick and Aurora both sat down on an empty part of the sofa, after a while of Tracy and Justine arguing Mike got Tracy to go into the kitchen to make a drink. Rick could tell that all this was bothering Tracy so he got up and walked into the kitchen to speak to the care worker.

Rick found out that Justin presence was bothering Tracy and told her not to worry about it. Not long after Rick went into the office and told Tracy that she was leaving. Tracy walked out to hear all the young people saying that they would see her tomorrow. In which this made Tracy upset again.

The next day Justine and her fiancé Charlie came to visit. The table conversation was very awkward. Tracy kept scratching her nose when she was talking about her and Seth being a couple. While Rick was becoming suspicious of Charlie when he told the story of how him and Justine met. It sounded all too familiar.

Rick managed to find out the truth. So he bribed Charlie into buying a new computer. And it was a good computer.

Aurora and Rick were sitting in the living room both on the new computer. Soon everyone in the house started crowding round. Rick put the computer on the table and he lent back putting his arm around Aurora and letting Carmen and Tee look at the computer. Once the two girls stopped looking Carmen looked at Rick's arm and sent Aurora death glares before walking out to go and find Justine.

Around 15 minutes later Rick leaves saying he has to go and talk to Tracy about something. Once he leaves the girls eyes all fall towards her.

"So, you and Rick?" Sapphire said

"Me and Rick? What do you mean?" Aurora asked.

"Rory, are you sure you two aren't more than just friends?" Elektra asked

"Yeah like, he was awfully close and he looks at you differently." Sapphire pitched in

"No, were just friends. Besides I'm sure he likes Carmen." Aurora said her voice obviously sad.

"Just you leave that to me." Elektra said winking

Rick told Tracy the truth about Charlie. And the two told Justine and they set up plan to expose Charlie. Just before they went to carry out their plan Rick went to speak to Carmen as he felt sorry for her as she wanted Justine and Charlie to foster her.

"What do you want" Carmen said as Rick walked into the room after knocking.

"To say sorry about you and Justine not working out"

"Yeah but you don't know that you might of got it wrong. Charlie might be okay."

"Don't get your hopes up Carmen."

"Well go on then say sorry"

"Sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I know"

"So were friends right?" Rick asked

"I thought you didn't wanna be friends?"

"I was wrong friends are good." Rick said smiling back at her.

"Yeah they are."

Rick exposed Charlie to Justine, with the help of Tracy and Cam. He gave Charlie back the computer and he was hailed an hero.
