Sam, Abs, Selena and Maggie all had problems getting on their flippers, they were either too big or two small. Finally after managing to squish their feet into them, the race was ready to begin. Wishing each other good luck, each begun to laugh, least of all Maggie and Selena.
"I feel like a penguin!" chuckled Maggie to her team mate through he corner of her mouth.
"I know! I hope I don't make a complete fool of myself here!" laughed Selena, turning to face down the track marked out on the grass with white paint.
Luke smiled at the four standing ready to go, "All ready?" they all shook their heads, "Alright then! On your marks…. Get set…. GOOO!"
Sam was first over the starting line, followed by Maggie, then Selena and finally Abs. All of them were waddling exactly like penguins, trying not to fall over their own feet.
Luke was commentating a few meters away, running along side the race,
"And their off! Sam in first place, followed by Maggie, then Selena and Abs bringing up the rear!" he couldn't help but laugh at his colleagues attempts to run wearing the flippers, "Someone call the zoo, they've let four penguins loose in Holby!" the crowd were beginning to get into the spirit of things by cheering on the competitors.
Maggie was stumbling along, behind Sam, who had a big grin on his face. However, this grin didn't stay as he caught his own flipper and fell to the ground.
"Oh flip!" he cried out, laughing as he did so.
"And Sam goes down! Is he gunna get back up in time to save his lead or will second place Maggie steal it from him!"
However, as soon as those words had left Luke's lips, Sam rolled over., but he didn't take into account Maggie, who was waddling behind him.
"Scuse us Sam!" she called out cheekily as she bypassed him, grinning down.
Sam grinned back and stuck his hand out, grabbing Maggie's left flipper.
"SAM!" Maggie cried out as she sun round, falling to the ground as she did so.
"Oh, I think there's been a bit of cheating going on between Youf Sam and Oldie Maggie! Their both down! Oh and here comes Selena, oh no, hold on Abs has got the right idea going on!"
Selena had overtaken the laughing sprawled out Sam and Maggie but Abs had turned round, and was walking backwards. Making him much faster than Selena and he soon took over her, meters from the finish line.
"And Abs has taken over Selena! But she's pulling back, who's gonna get there fist! Oh oh oh!" Luke laughed as he craned t see who was crossing the line first, "ABS HAS WON THE FIRST RACE FOR THE YOUFS, CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY OLDIE SELENA!"
Selena spun round, shout back to Luke, "HEY! Less of the old!" before chuckling at his face. Whilst Abs was doing a little dance being cheered by the gathered crowd. Maggie and Sam had given up and taken their flippers of and were now running to the finish line.
"Sam gets the third with Maggie, tut tut, coming last!" Luke joked before handing the mic over to Nathan.
"Congratulations to Abs and the Youfs, getting the first points of the day!"
The crowd cheered as Sam, Abs, Maggie and Selena walked back to their teams, the women in fits of laughter.
