And we're back!
I checked my reviews and laughed at Lilly Aldean's. Go read it!
"Welcome back to Club Penguin Talk Show!" Rookie said, surprising Astra. Earlier, during the first part, Rookie almost messed up because he forgot his line. That had been a close call. Either way, the penguin he had been interviewing was pretty boring. Princess-something-or-the-other-Astra-couldn't-rem ember just talked about herself and how great she was or something like that. Astra didn't even make it halfway before falling asleep.
"Our next guest is one everyone probably knows!" Rookie announced after the audience's applause died down, repeating what Astra has forced him to memorize during the break. "Please welcome...um, uh..."
Astra groaned and face-flippered herself. "If everyone knows her, then how do you not know?" she hissed into her microphone. Dot giggled. "Jessie's going to be mad when I tell her."
"Please welcome Jessie9095!" Rookie shouted, gesturing wildly to the door on stage - well, set - left. Unfortunately, he was pointing the wrong way. Jessie entered stage right because that was the entrance door.
"Rookie!" Astra snapped. "Turn around! That's the exit!"
"Oh, uh...I meant to do that!" Rookie told his audience. It didn't really matter because the penguins were too busy laughing.
Jessie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you totally did."
"So, Jessie, how's your studying going?" Rookie asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Well-"
"That's great!" Rookie exclaimed. Astra rolled her eyes. Typical Rookie. He settled back on his chair, propping his webbed feet up on the other. "Now, why are you standing?"
"Because your feet are on the chair I'm supposed to be sitting on," Jessie replied, annoyed. She pushed them off and sat down, but knocked Rookie off his own chair in the process. His propeller hat rolled over to Skye, who opened his beak to scream. Fortunately, Astra slapped a flipper over Skye's beak, muffling the scream. She kicked the propeller hat back on set. Jessie picked it up and gave it back to Rookie.
"Okay then, why don't we talk about the cases you solved?" Rookie suggested, adjusting his hat as he sat back down on his seat.
Jessie shrugged. "You're the host. Fire away."
The two of them went back and forth during the interview, but then PH's puffle ran onto the set.
"Oh look, a puffle," Jessie noticed, picking it up. "This reminds me of my first mission, when I had to search for Aunt Arctic's green and purple puffles."
"How many puffles do you have?" Rookie inquired.
"Why do you need to know?" Jessie shot back.
"Back to the missions, then," Rookie said, not wanting to get into an argument with her. "What was the worst moment during one of your cases?"
"When I found out you stole my Spy Phone from Mewcat and called my sister," Jessie sulked (reference to my first story, The Runaways).
"Eh, he, he." Rookie gave the audience an embarrassed look.
"I mean, who would scream random stuff such as 'I like pie' when they're talking on the phone with someone's sibling?" Jessie continued. "Unless you're Astra, who blabs about unrelated topics sometimes, it's just weird."
"Hey!" Astra protested, not caring that everyone with a blue earpiece - including Jessie - could hear her. "I don't blab - well, actually it's true, but still! You do that too! Can't exactly blame me if I'm being influenced by other penguins around me."
Jessie smirked slightly, but a crash came from the closet with Jet Pack Guy's jet pack.
"You have to be kidding me," Astra groaned. She tugged her headset off and shoved it in Jet's flippers. "If Rookie says or does anything stupid, yell at him through the mic."
"But my baby!" Jet Pack Guy whined, referring to his jet pack. Astra rolled her eyes. This guy was emotionally attached to his jet pack (reference to Bellykid5's Famous Advice). It was like he couldn't go a second without it, which is probably why he's called Jet Pack Guy (Hey, don't blame me for just realizing! I came from the Arctic, remember?).
"Man up!" Astra snapped before going to deal with the jet pack. "If you don't want excuses to yell at Rookie, give the headset to Dot!"
Astra headed to the closet and walked in quickly before the jet pack could fly out. She took out her Spy Phone and used it as a flashlight.
"What the-?!" Astra ducked as the jet pack flew past her head, missing her by about a millimeter. It let out a shudder but kept flying around the small room before crashing into a wire rack shelf, sending cleaning supplies raining on Astra. She must've got hit by at least three bottles of Windex, a small bottle of Clorax bleach (at least it wasn't the giant kinds), two boxes of laundry detergent, and a package of plastic gloves.
"I hate my job," Astra grumbled, holding down the jet pack. She flicked the switch to off. It finally gave up and turned off. Astra let out a sigh of relief and started picking up the cleaning supplies.
Dragging the jet pack behind her, Astra opened thousands of doors before finding Gary in one of the storage rooms. "Here," she said, tossing the jet pack into the room. "Fix whatever's wrong with it and return it to Jet before he has a meltdown. Oh, and don't eat any more of those cupcakes before you puke again." With that, she grabbed the box of pink frosted cupcakes.
Shutting the door, Astra hurried back to the set to see Jet Pack Guy and Dot arguing about something, tugging the headset back and forth.
"What's going on?" Astra demanded.
"He started it!" Dot accused, pointing at Jet Pack Guy.
"No, you did!" he argued, pointing at her.
"It's your fault that you fed Rookie the wrong line on purpose!" Dot claimed, tugging the headset to herself (Don't be greedy!).
"But the audience liked it!" Jet Pack Guy, pulling the headset back to himself (Hey! Just because she decided to act selfish doesn't mean you get to also!). "What's the harm of making him look like a fool? He already does that to himself."
Astra snatched the headset from their flippers and put it back on, lowering the microphone away from her beak. "It doesn't matter, because I'm using the headset now! Eat some cupcakes and get over it!"
"What about my baby?" Jet Pack Guy complained, taking a cupcake. "Is she okay?"
"I gave the jet pack to G so he can fix the problem," Astra replied, handing the box to PH. She rubbed the spot where the Windex hit her head. "Your precious little baby crashed into the shelf with the cleaning supplies on it, knocking all sorts of bottles and packages on my head! Three metal Windex canisters, dude! It's a miracle that I don't have a concussion!"
"Why are there Puffle O's in the cupcakes?" PH wondered aloud, staring at the cupcake she broke in half. She sniffed the baked good. "Hey, the icing and the bread are made of O-Berries." PH cradled the puffle in her lap and fed it a bit of the cupcake.
"WHAT?" Jet Pack Guy stared at his cupcake before dropping it on the floor and dashing off to the bathroom.
"Don't litter!" Astra called after him, picking up the cupcake and throwing it in the garbage can. "Huh. No wonder Gary was in such a hurry to the bathroom."
"Nice talking to you, Jessie!" Rookie said. He turned to the camera. "Club Penguin Talk Show will be back after the break!"
Tune in...tomorrow or two days from now for Club Penguin Talk Show!
