"I call Team Captain! And Joe you be the other!" Darren yelled as he hopped on to the volleyball feild, grabbing the ball. It was Team Starkid's begining of summer picnic and Darren insisted they play beach volleyball this year.
"Fine," Walker said as we walked over to his side of the court. "I pick, Jim."
"What?" A loud yell came from a small Lauren, as Jim took his side. "But, Joe!"
"Look Lauren, I love you but, I need a little... hight on my team," a few snickers went around the group and Lauren shot a glare in Joe's direction.
"Okaaaay then," Darren said breaking the silence. "Juls!" He said and pointed at his girlfriend, "I pick you!"
"Sorry, Dare... I'm gonna have to sit this one out. I'll ref though!" She suggested and moved to the sidelines.
"Ugh, fine. Joey!" Darren pointed at Joey because he's an intense actor, "I pick you!"
"YES," Joey cried out in happiness and tackled him in a bear hug.
Seven minutes later the teams were picked. Joe, Jim, B-Hole, Nick, Denise, and Jaime on one team. And Darren, Joey, Meredith, Brosenthal, Dylan, and Lauren on the other.
"Okay, first thing's first. We need a team name. I think, we should be team Hobbit, because they are pretty awesome and because Lauren and me are both on the team," Darren suggested and an agreement on the name spread through the team. All except for Lauren. But after a vote, Team Hobbit was born.
Darren son went in to speech mood about how important it was to win the game and to do the best we the game started.
"Ready positions everyone!" Darren yelled. Only Joey who was just as excited as Darren to play, did as told. Darren served the ball and it was sent back over by Joe. "Brian!" Darren called out to a texting Brosenthal, who looked up in time to see the ball coming his way and caught it.
"Sorry," He said then put his phone away and rolled the ball under the net.
That's how the first 10 points went to the red team. Dylan wasn't trying, Brosenthal was texting, and Meredith was up at the front of the net flirting with Brian on the other side. Joey was trying, but had too much energy, and Lauren tried too at least, even though she couldn't ever get it over the net.
"Time out! Huddle. Hobbits, huddle." Darren said to his team which slowly grouped up. "1st off," Darren took Brian's phone from him and threw it in the direction of the lake. "Stop texting."
"Dude! I was texting Devin! Her dad is in the hospital!"
"I'm sorry to hear that, but we're losing! We need to stop standing around doing nothing," Darren shot a glance at Dylan. "And we need to stop flirting with our boyfriends, Mere!" Darren looked over at Meredith who was grinning over at Brian on the other team.
"Sorry," she muttered looking away from Brian.
"So Meredith, I'm moving you to the back. Same with you Lauren. Lauren you switch with Joey and Meredith you'll switch with Mr. Text so much more important than this game, over here," He said and gestred over at Brian. "Okay? Now, let's do this!" He said too enthusiastically. "Let's put our hands in."
"One. Two. Three. Team Hobbit!"
Then the game started again. The new setup for Team Hobbit seemed to be working pretty well. Before they knew it, the game was tied. 19 to 19. The winner of this point would win the game.
Joe served to Darren who set it to Joey, who spiked it over the net. Nick returned the ball and sent it to Dylan. The volley went on for longer than anyone ever expected, ending with Brian spiking it over the net to Lauren who dove to get the ball, but still ending up missing it.
A quick enraged yell came from Darren as they lost, but he quickly regained himself and started clapping. "Good game, guys. Good game." he said trying to be encouraging. "Now, don't get yourselves down, alright. We've still got next year we can beat them!"
