Chapter 5, Worm Toss
Fred headed on over to the area where Worm Toss would be played. This area consisted of a blue mat, representing the water. At one end, stood Stu and Didi, now wearing a very large pair of brown pants, with Stu standing in one of the legs, and Didi standing in the other, and at the opposite end of the mat, stood Tommy, besides a yellow bucket, that was filled to the top with worms.
"Well guys, we're back with Tommy, and so, before we start our game, Tommy, are you having fun here today on Baby Races?" Fred asked.
"Uh huh." Tommy replied.
"Uh huh, man Tommy, you sure are cute!" Said Fred.
"Uh huh." Tommy said, smiling and giggling.
"Awe, look at that guys, this kid is adorable! Say Tommy, they were telling us you've been to see Reptar on Ice." Said Fred.
"Uh huh." Tommy replied.
"So who's your favorite character?" Fred asked.
"Reptar!" Tommy exclaimed.
"You like Reptar? That big green dinosaur?" Fred asked.
"Uh huh." Tommy replied.
"Ok Tommy, are you ready to have some more fun?" Fred asked.
Tommy nodded and smiled.
"Ok, in this game, you're gonna toss the worms in that bucket one at a time over there to your parents, across the water. Of course, it's not really water, we're just pretending, but you're gonna throw those worms into those pants your mommy and daddy are wearing, and each worm will earn you one point." Explained Fred.
"Phil and Lil would have loved this game!" Tommy thought to himself, as Fred was explaining the rules of the game to him.
"Ah, it looks like we're just about ready to play our game. Are we ready?" Fred asked.
"Uh huh." Tommy replied.
"Ok then, let's put forty-five seconds on the clock." Said Fred, as the clock was set.
"On your mark, get set, go!" Said Fred, as the clock started counting down, and Tommy started tossing his worms.
He tossed each worm, one at a time out of his bucket, making each worm land into the pants his parents were wearing. Poor Didi had a disgusted look on her face as the worms came in her direction.
"Deed, stop that!" Stu whispered into Didi's ear.
"Eeew, these worms are disgusting!" Didi whispered back.
"I don't know what your parents are whispering about over there, but keep it up Tommy, you're doing great!" Fred cheered, as Tommy continued to toss his worms from his bucket into the large pants.
For the first time in Baby Races history, Tommy had thrown every last worm out of his bucket into the giant pants, with only five seconds despair on the clock. Then, pleased with his victory, as the coocoo clock sounded, signaling time was up, Tommy picked up his empty bucket from the floor, and put it on his head, wearing it like a hat. Rosie, who was off to the side, watching Tommy, was giggling and clapping as she spotted Tommy put the now empty bucket, which use to occupy worms, on to his head.
"Wow! Tommy's really cute with that bucket on his head!" Rosie thought to herself, as she blushed and smiled, staring at Tommy with the bucket on his head.
"Wow Tommy, you knew how to play that game really well, didn't you?" Fred asked.
"Uh huh!" Tommy exclaimed.
"And, for the first time in Baby Races history, you threw every last worm into those pants, and we had a total of one-hundred worms in that bucket, earning you, a total, of one-hundred points! Good job buddy." Said Fred, as he walked up to Tommy, and removed the bucket from his head, and some of the stage crew, helped Stu and Didi get out of their pants, without letting the worms go loose.
"Ok, well, after that, you and your parents deserve a rest, while I head on over to our golf course, where Rosie gets to play a little game of golf. And we will play this game of golf, after the next commercial break." Said Fred, as the Baby Races theme music played in the background, the crowd cheered, and the screen faded to black, going to a commercial break.
And this, ends chapter 5. We'll see Rosie play golf in the next chapter, so please, do stay tuned!
