So...what now?

Back to the dressing room!

The 3 friends went back into Jack's dressing room. As Jack sat back down, he could see his two feet were slightly sweating. "Is everything okay?" He asked them. Wriggy was first to speak. "Umm...well..." he began, "It's just that...well..."

Toesy continued Wriggy's sentence. "Y'see Jack, we're not as good as you are at this whole...talking to a camera stuff." Jack looked to his mates, concerned. "Yeah, you know?" He explained, calmly. "I felt the exact same way you are when I started. Sweaty palms, nervous in case a breakdown happened (spoilers for later)...I just wasn't very confident."

"But you sound so professional..." Wriggy worried, "What if...what if...what if we say something wrong or...we press the wrong button?" Wriggy and Toesy scrunched their toes in sadness. "Maybe we're not cut out to be TV presenters..." Toesy sniffled sadly. Tears started forming in their eyes. Not wanting to see his new friends be upset, Jack leaned in to them. "Listen..." He told them, reassuringly, "Not everyone starts out professionally. These things take time. Like a flower, it just takes time for it to grow, y'know?" The 2 feet turned to Jack, toes still scrunched. "Well...that is true." Wriggy answered.

Jack wiped their tears. "Just imagine, once you get the hang of it...you 2 will be just as professional as me." He smiled to them. The feet un-scrunched their toes and smiled back. "Yeah..." Toesy nodded. "Working in television is just like a flower. You start off small...", "And then you eventually bloom!" Wriggy realised.

"Hey...would you two like to introduce the next programme?" Jack asked them. The feet nodded slowly. "Trust me. You'll get used to it." Back on set, Jack sat on the desk again. Wriggy and Toesy saw the camera. Jack spoke with Tony, the cameraman. "Okay." He replied as he went back behind the camera. The two feet took a deep breath in...and out. Just as the ChuckleVision theme started playing and the credits began rolling, the camera was pointing directly at them!

"Umm...stay right here..." Wriggy began, "Because we have another dose of ChuckleVision coming up next." Toesy continued, "And in our next episode...the brothers are dishing up trouble...so don't move a muscle."

The camera light went off and the feet breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey..." Wriggy noticed, "That wasn't to hard at all!" Toesy agreed. "Yeah! In fact, that was pretty easy!" Jack looked at them in complete awe! "See. I knew you could do it!" He exclaimed. The two feet wiggled their toes in celebration. They had just successfully done their first EVER link!

Well...hooray for them! Also, Jack mentioned something about a..."breakdown"?
