Chapter 7: The Rookie Blues
For the first time in his life, Goby felt like an outcast. After two whole weeks of training camp, the Redman of Baseball has been slacking off of his skills. He's been missing throws, catches and sometimes, whenever he run from base to base, he trips on the ground. Now he can be seen walking down the hallway after a meeting with nonstop jokes from the Coach Keller and nonstop laughing from the teammates. The rookie is talking to Anthony Higgins who had decided to come out of retirement to help his team.
"Man I'm over here doing the best I can be, but its getting hard with everyone laughing at my face," Goby said. Little does he know is that all the other baseball players (minus the rookies) are all talking softly and laughing right behind him. "The last thing I need is to be laughed at by a bunch of losers."
"Hmmm. It seems like all those days as a Bubble Guppy, they must haven't taught you what a real loser is," Anthony replied back. "Look. These are pro baseball players, multi world series champions." The two make a stop at Goby's room where he's been staying at during training camp. But listen man. It's gonna get better. Trust me," Higgins added.
But as Goby open his door, he finds all his stuff painted red. Bed, lamp, books, clothes, everything. All the pro players came and started laughing, including Anthony.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Goby yelled obvious to his surprise.
"Oh I get it," Anthony laughed. "Your name is the Redman and this is Red Sox red. It just works on so many levels." The players then began to chant REDMAN! REDMAN! all over again. An angry Goby try to fight off some of them, but Higgins quickly push him back in the room. He closed the door while the others continue to laugh.
"What? You're gonna fight off some of your own teammates?" he asked Goby.
"Yes!" Goby answered.
"Listen man. This is what goes on at training camp."
"Childish ass pranks?"
"Exactly. It's just our way of welcoming you rookies into our team."
"They even painted Catcher in the Rye."
"So? Just buy another copy."
"It's the first edition."
"It's the first edition. Man look at you. Sounding like a nerd. Listen. There is only one rule of pranks. You don't get mad. You get even. Remember that." Anthony then walk out of Goby's room. After turning to his now red room, the Redman quickly came up with a good way of getting back at his teammates. But he wasn't the only one who got his room painted. As Anthony walked insdie of his room, he finds it completely yellow.
"Aww come on. I'm not a rookie. Stupid idiots," he said to his laughing teammates. "My name is not yellow."
Meanwhile, deema had agreed to sign up to join the Blue Sox, an all female organization that helps support their spouses who are the plaayres on the RedSox team. Deema had already made two friends and quickly realized that the other girls in the group are crazy. Another new member of the crew invited everyone at her house. All the girls were either drinking some wine, talking some smack about the newbies. Deema was getting her toes done.
"I gotta say Mariah. This place is nice," Deema said to Mariah, who is the newest wife for Anthony Higgins.
"Well me and Anthony do have good taste after all," Mariah said. Soon Deema turn her attention to a girl she knew all too well.
"Okay. What up?" Mariah asked the pop star.
"What you mean?"
"You've been eyeballing at that Mya girl ever since you first saw here."
Deema sign. She got up and pull Mariah to the backyard. "Okay. Listen," she said. "During draft night, me and Goby…well…I invited her to have a threesome with us."
"Oh. I see."
"What am I gonna do?"
"Relax. I mean I'm sure she's not trying to steal him from you."
Deema sign. "I'm not worry about that."
"Then why are you getting so work up for?"
"She's into girls," Deema whispers. But all Mariah did was just giggled. Soon Deema was met with Mya.
"What's so funny?" Mya asked. Deema turn her head and saw her right behind her. "Hey Mya," Deema said.
"Hey deema. How are things?"
"Uhh good."
"Look. I know you must feel awkward seeing me again. But I do just wanna be friends with you."
"Oh okay then." Both the girls giggled as they hugged one another. But little did Deema know was that Mya began taking one hand down all the way to her butt. The trio of neew friends began to walk back inside the house.
…
Back at training camp, all the players went into the meeting room. All of them seemed to be waiting for Coach Kelly, but all they find is the board with the words "PLAY ME" and an arrow pointing to a TV set. One of them got the remote and turns it on. It was goby who showed up on the screen in his red painted room.
"Good evening gentleman. First off, I'm the one who called all y'all hear, not Coach Keller. Yesterday, you all got together to paint my room red. My name is Redman and I'm playing for the Red Sox-that…was pretty clever. I'm just glad I didn't ran into some of you in the hallway. But thanks to my wise mentor, I decided not to get mad…but to get even. So while you all were eating breakfast, out in the field or just minding your own business, I've been doing some charity work and I hope by watching this, you'll be inspired."
Ever since training camp began, Anthony became a mentor to Goby and some other rookies to help them become a part of the team. But the others don't know about this. Back to the tape, Goby can be seen in another room with four homeless and raggedy people…bums.
"Gentleman. Meet Rex and his friends," Goby said on the TV. "I welcome you all hear so that way you can use all the stuff these multi-millionaires took for granted. You ready camera guy?" The camera guy was also a bum. You can tell by the way he stuck his big and dirty thumb out in the camera. Soon the purple-haired male let the bums out to use everything his teammates have.
As all the pro baseball players are watching, they slowly see the bums trying on some stuff, but it wasn't long for them to realized that it was theirs. The first one was a bum trying on a pair of slippers. One of the players then realized it was his own. As the video followed, all the bums began trying on everything the players have including a baseball cap and a mouth piece, a stick of deodorant and the gross part was seeing one bum rinsing his mouth out with mouthwash and spitting it back into the bottle.
All the players were just disgusted. As the video continued, they see the bums also trying on some of their clothes on and using their own toothbrushes. After the video ended, they were all furious with anger.
"Let's blast his ass back to preschool," one of them said. They all went to Goby's room, even Anthony who was trying to make sure no one know that he was his mentor. They were all banging on his room door yelling stuff like:
"Get out of here, ya bastard."
"Get your ass out of here."
"Open the damn door."
Giby was inside his room reading Catcher in the Rye. "Not today you guys," he answered. "I'm feeling a bit red tonight." Soon silence filled the hallway, but was soon interrupted by the sound of an axe banging down the door. Goby couldn't help but cover himself in fear. Back at the Blue Sox party, Mya and Deema almost had a fight with the Blue Sox president, Tanya who is the wife of one of the baseball players. Mariah quickly pulled them back outside.
"what are you two doing?" she asked the two.
"Don't let this baby look fool you," Deema ansered with anger in her eyes.
"Look you can't fight fire with fire. These girls will let make y'alls life a living hell."
"Sow hat? We're supposed to like take it?" Mya asked.
"No," Mariah answered. "Just keep it profession." But as the three went back into the house, things were about to get ugly as Tanya began on riding on how she slept with Mariah's husband before they got married. After that, all that talk about keeping it profession went out the window as Mariah began tackling Tanya down on the sofa as Mya and Deema were trying to break the fight up.
Do you guys like this story? I got it off from a TV show I watched Tuesday night. It was so funny that I had to include it in this story. Anyway, looks like things aren't going so good with Goby and Deema. But can the two make things work for one another? I'll be back to answer the question hopefully by the end of next week. See you guys soon.
