Chapter 2: Finding Players

Mordecai sped down the park pathways. Going as fast as the cart could go. He and Rigby were heading towards the coffee shop "Dude, do you think they'll say yes?" Rigby asked. "They better dude. Or else the park is screwed." The bird responded. After about 10 minutes, they arrived at their usual spot, the Coffee Shop. "Alright man, I hope they say yes." Rigby said. They walked into the shop and saw Eileen cleaning up a mess on one of the shop's tables. "Hey guys!" She greeted "Hey" The two replied back. "Uh, Eileen, do you want to uh," Rigby was cut off by Eileen saying "Oh yes Rigby! I will go out with you!" "Wait no! I was going to ask if you wanted to join our new baseball team. You see, the park is going bankrupt because Mr. Maellard died and no one knows where he hid it. So we are joining the Two Peaks Baseball Tournament. To win $1,000,000 dollars and so we can keep our jobs." He explained. "Oh great! I finally get to show off my insane skills! Can I play third?" She asked excitingly. "Yeah the spots open." Mordecai told her. "Yay!" She excitingly said again.

Rigby was telling Eileen that he was a awesome baseball player and that both of them are gonna be the best on the team. "Yeah right!" Mordecai said sarcastically. "STOP TALKING!" Rigby yelled out loud. Margaret walked out of the coffee shop and greeted Mordecai and Rigby. She was on the phone with John, her cousin. "Yes! dude yes!" She yelled. Mordecai gulped at the thought of what happened last time he heard Margaret utter those words. She eventually hung up seeming very happy. "John got his wooden leg replaced with a metal one!" The robin exclaimed. "That's great!" Mordecai and Eileen said happy for her. "So, Margaret, would you like to, you know, join our park baseball team? Mr. Maellard is dead and now the park is bankrupt. We are going to compete in the Two Peaks Baseball Tournament." "Sure! Maybe John could play too?" "Yeah! Of course!" Mordecai agreed to her idea. "Can I play left field?" She asked. "Totally!" Mordecai said. "I'll call John right now." She said to him. "Tell him he can be a starting pitcher, or a relief pitcher!" She nodded to his words. After a few seconds, John picked up. Margaret talked to him about what was going on and then after 2 minutes, she hung up. "He said yes!" Margaret said happily. "He is gonna be a reliever." Margaret added. "Great!" Mordecai said. "Well , we have to go! See you guys later. We will inform you when the practice is." Rigby said as the two walked out the door.

Muscle Man and High Five Ghost were going to Low Five Ghost's house. It was a apartment in downtown Two Peaks. They knocked on the door. "Dude, are you sure we should do this?" Muscle Man asked. HFG nodded. LFG opened his door. "Bro! We need you to play Baseball with us! I know you got that wicked Knuckleball!" HFG pleaded. "Whoa, whoa, you want me to become a starter again for some baseball team?" LFG asked. "It's the park's baseball team! The park is on the line! Please bro!" HFG continued pleading. "Alright, fine. Just tell me when the practices are." "Thanks bro! Thank you!" HFG exclaimed. Muscle man and High Five Ghost left his house and drove back to the park.

Rigby was calling Don. Even though he didn't want to, he wanted to keep his job for a reason he couldn't find out. "Hello?" Don answered. "Hey Don! It's Rigby!" Rigby greeted him. "Rigbone! What's up?" He asked. "Listen man, Mr. Maellard is dead and now the park can't find his money. So we're going bankrupt. We are joining the Two Peaks Baseball Tournament, will you be a reliever for us?" Rigby asked "Bro, of course! I'd love to help save the park!" "Great! Thanks man! I'll call you when practices go on!" Rigby said.

They all met back at the park, they somehow convinced Pops to be another reliever. Benson then showed up with Skips and Thomas. "Alright, we got Sensai and my friend Jack to play, Sensai is a closer, and Jack is a starter. I also got our jerseys and registered us for the Tournament. Anyone else got players?" Benson asked. "We got Eileen , Margaret, John, and Don to play!" Mordecai said. "We got Low Five Ghost to play!" Muscle Man told them. "I'm playing too!" Pops said full of glee. "Can we see the jerseys?" Mordecai asked. Benson gave them their jerseys. Mordecai got 2. Benson was 52. Rigby was 13. Pops was 70. Skips was 9. Thomas was 42. Muscle man was 23. HFG was 3. "I have the other jerseys too." Benson told them. "So, when are the practice times? Rigby asked. "Our first is tomorrow so notify your friends everyone." Benson told them. "Alright!" They said. They all walked into the house. HFG was calling LFG, Mordecai was calling Margaret, Rigby was calling Eileen, Benson e-mailed Sensai and Jack. Rigby also e-mailed Don. Everyone went to bed that night excited for the first practice that was going to occur tomorrow.
