A/N: Hello everyone, I now present my newest Loud House story. I feel like Margo is a character with more potential and I hope we see more of her or she gets her own episode.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
It was a beautiful Thursday morning in Royal Woods, Michigan. The Loud kids all had school and prepared themselves. They where seated at their respective table and eating breakfast. One Loud was more enthusiastic than the others.
"Only two more days!" declared Lynn Jr.
"You're really excited about the game." noted Rita.
"Yup. I'm stoked for the regional championship against Hazeltucky!" declared Lynn Jr.
"My girl is the MVP!" declared Lynn Sr. proudly.
Lynn jr. grabbed a stick of break.
'Toss the butter!" requested Lynn Jr.
Her father tossed a pat of butter which Lynn Jr. hit.
"And Lynn Loud Jr. hits the walk off home run! The Detroit Tigers are World Series Champions! Lynn Loud is the MVP!" exclaimed Lynn Jr.
"Yeah!" cried Lynn Sr.
Rita then cleared her throat.
"Maybe the MVP would like to clean the butter off the wall." proposed Rita.
Lynn Jr. looked over and saw the butter slowly sliding down the wall.
"Sorry." said Lynn Jr. sheepishly.
Lynn Jr. used a napkin to clean the butter off.
"Um Lynn, I believe Major League Baseball doesn't have female players." noted Lori.
"Doesn't the PGA only have male golfers?" asked Lynn Jr.
"I am literally just warning you." replied Lori, "Besides, there's the LPGA."
"I'm sure they're are female baseball leagues." said Luan.
"Don't way. I'll play for the Tigers one way or another." stated Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr. sat back down,
"Like, how is Lynn going to be a Tiger?" asked Leni.
The others ignored Leni.
"You seem really confident." noted Rita.
"Royal Woods has a good team." said Luna.
"Not to mention a future all-star pitcher!" declared Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr. pointed both thumbs at herself.
"Be careful or your head will literally get too big." said Lori.
Leni examined Lynn Jr.
"Her head doesn't look any bigger." noted Leni.
"Hey, I can't help it if I'm that darn good." shrugged Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr. tapped her finger on the table.
"There's only one thing that can screw us." revealed Lynn Jr.
"What's that?" asked Luan.
"Margo." answered Lynn Jr.
"Harsh dude. She's your friend." said Luna surprised.
"I'm not bashing Margo. She's my best friend and always will be." said Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr. took a swig of coffee.
"But, she's not exactly the more athletic person on the team." added Lynn Jr.
"Doesn't she, like, go last?" asked Leni.
"She bats last, has gotten out the most and has committed the most errors." answered Lynn Jr.
"It seems like Margo enjoys playing." said Luan.
"She loves it." confirmed Lynn Jr.
"Then that's fine." shrugged Luna.
"Not if you're trying to win a championship!" declared Lynn Jr.
"I'm sure she tried her best Junior." said Lynn Sr.
"Yeah, but sometimes your best isn't good enough." said Lynn Jr.
"Just remember, winning isn't everything." said Rita.
Lynn Jr. took another sip of coffee.
"Yeah, but it's fun." muttered Lynn Jr.
The kids finished breakfast and went to school. Lynn meet up with her friends including Margo. They went to their classes and the morning passed by. Lynn struggled to focus only interested on her game. Finally, lunch came the kids went to their cafeteria. They got their food and sat down. Lynn and Margo sat with their other team mates.
"Are we ready for Saturday?!" asked Lynn.
The girls all let out cheers.
"Who is gonna win?" asked Lynn.
"We are." answered the team in unison.
"Squirrels on three!" cried Lynn.
The rest of the team agreed.
"One...two...three..." began Lynn.
Squirrels!" cried the team.
"Keep it down." warned a teacher.
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Okay...so let's see." said Lynn.
Lynn pulled out a notebook and opened it.
"Let's see..." began Lynn.
Lynn went over the batting order. Center Fielder batted first, Left Fielder batted second and Shortstop batted third.
"Of course, I'm batting clean up." said Lynn proudly.
The rest of the girls praised her.
"You'll kick butt Lynnsanity." said Margo.
"I always do." shrugged Lynn.
Lynn returned to the batting order. Second Baseman batted fifth, First Baseman batted sixth, Third Baseman batted seventh and Catcher batted eighth.
"And Margo is playing Right Field and batting last." concluded Lynn.
"Um Lynn, why do I bat last?" asked Margo.
"Because you're batting average is the lowest." answered Margo.
"I..." began Margo.
Lynn held up her hand.
"It's for the best." stated Lynn.
Margo sighed.
"Okay, Hazeltucky doesn't play a lot of small ball so we need to play out." said Lynn.
The others agreed with this.
"Our basemen will need to stay sharp anyway. I'm gonna try and keep them grounded." said Lynn.
"Yeah." said the First Baseman.
"Gotcha." said the Second Baseman.
"Totally." said Third Baseman.
"I hear ya." said the Shortstop.
"I'm gonna use a lot of Sinkers and Sliders." continued Lynn.
"I can handle it." said the Catcher.
"I'll also attempt to jam them and get pop-outs." added Lynn.
"Gotcha." said the First Baseman.
"I can handle it." said the Second Baseman.
"No worries here." said the Third Baseman.
"I got it." said the Shortstop.
"I'm not afraid of going into the stands." said the Catcher.
"Our outfield will be really busy." said Lynn.
"No sweat." said the Left Fielder.
"No problem here." shrugged the Center Fielder.
Lynn looked at Margo.
"Margo?" asked Lynn.
"I'll do my best." answered Margo.
"Yeah, but we need to do more than your best." replied Lynn firmly.
Margo sulked in her seat.
"Margo, you need to give it everything. Nobody can blow it." said Lynn.
Margo shook her head.
"Sure." said Margo.
The girls finished their lunches and returned to their classes. Lynn once again struggled to stay focused. Margo struggled to stay focused too, but for another reason. Finally, school ended. Lynn, Margo and the remainder of the Squirrels went to the school ball field. There it was time to practice. Lynn took control.
"Okay ladies! We gotta prepare for tomorrow!" declared Lynn.
Lynn pulled out the pitching machine and put it on the mound.
"We're gonna start with pitching so get ready!" ordered Lynn.
The girls grabbed their bats and lined up in order.
"You ready?" asked Lynn.
Polly Pain came up the mound.
"Yeah Lynn." answered Lynn.
Polly Pain maned the pitching machine.
"Let's begin." said Lynn.
The Center Fielder went first and hit a ball that landed in the outfield and rolled to the fence.
"Got hit!" declared Lynn.
The Left Fielder hit a her pitch which bounced off the fence.
"Good one!" declared Lynn.
The Shortstop went third hit a pitch up the middle right by the pitching machine.
"Good." said Lynn.
Lynn stepped up next.
"And Ty Cobb steps up the plate." said Lynn.
The pitching machine fired off a ball.
"And the swing..." whispered Lynn.
Lynn hit the pitch which went over the fence.
"Home run! And the crowd goes wild!" declared Lynn.
Lynn flipped her bat and pretended to run home from third.
"And the Squirrels are the champions!" cried Lynn.
The rest of the Squirrels cheered.
"Okay, time for the rest of you." said Lynn.
The Second Baseman stepped up and hit a single between second and thrid.
"Good." said Lynn.
The First Baseman stepped up and hit a single between first and second.
"Nice." said Lynn.
The Third Baseman stepped up seventh ans singled into Center Field.
"Nice." said Lynn.
The Catcher batted eighth and hit a bloop single into Center Field.
"That works. Good." said Lynn.
Margo then stepped up last.
"Hit it Margo!" cried Lynn.
Margo swung at the first pitch and missed it.
"Come on Margo!" cried Lynn.
Margo swung at the second pitch and missed again.
"Last chance! Don't miss!" cried Lynn.
"I can't miss this." said Margo.
Margo swung at the third pitch and missed.
"You've got to be kidding me!" exclaimed Lynn frustrated.
Lynn rubbed her temples.
"Okay. Everyone take five while I talk to Margo." said Lynn.
Everyone relaxed while Lynn marched over to Margo.
"What was that?!" asked Lynn.
"Sorry." answered Margo.
"Sorry won't cut it in the championship!" snapped Lynn.
Margo hung her head.
"Don't screw up." warned Lynn.
"I won't." promised Margo.
"Awesome." replied Lynn.
The rest of practice carried on as normal. Once they where finished, the Squirrels departed. Margo went to her home with a heavy head. She nearly passed her own home. Margo went inside and greeted her parents. She then went upstairs and to her bedroom. Margo tossed her bag aside and kicked off her shoes. Margo then threw herself on her bed.
"This is the championship." noted Margo.
Margo took this in.
"We can win this." said Margo.
Margo thought of them winning the championship and raising the trophy high over their heads.
"We have to win." decided Margo.
Margo's optimism sank as doubt crept in.
"I hope." said Margo.
Margo shook her head.
"No. I have to stay positive!" declared Margo.
However, the doubt continued.
"What if we lose?" asked Margo.
Margo pictured how sad her teammates would be.
"What if I blow it?" asked Margo.
Margo then pictured her teammates anger at her for costing them the championship.
Margo again shook her head.
"I'll do my best." promised Margo.
A/N: That is where we'll end chapter one. So, things have begun. However, this might not go exactly how you think. Next time, its the eve of the game. Please review.
