"Why are you wearing your uniform, Maddie?" Donnie smiled as Maddie put her hair up. "Didn't I tell you I have a game this afternoon?" She said.
"Who are you playing?"
"Dunno…I can look on the website."
Maddie took Donnie's laptop, and scanned the softball web page. "Ah! We are playing the NYC…SHREDDERS?!" Donnie and Maddie stared at the name. Maddie gave a small, almost in audible yelp. Pretty soon, everyone was worried. Maddie looked at the clock. "Okay, guys. I gotta go…" she said, and grabbed her bag. When she arrived at the field, she was shocked to see Karai there. She never thought of Karai as a softball person. "YOU." Maddie mumbled, purposely bumping into Karai. Karai stared at her. When game time started, well, to make a long story short, until the last inning, Maddie's team was ahead by one run. Maddie was pitching, and Karai was up to bat. Maddie went into her wind up, and the next thing she knew, the ball hit her face at 100 miles an hour. She doubled over, and her coach ran out on the field. "Are you okay? You should probably sit out. He said. "No. I'm okay. I can stay in." Maddie said as she wiped a trickle of blood from her face. "Are you sure?"
"Positive. I've faced worse."
The coach left the field, and the game resumed. "Three balls;two strikes." The umpire called. Suddenly, everything was in slow motion. The Pitch was pitched. Everyone waited in suspense. "STRIKE THREE!" Maddie and her team ran into the dugout and immediately poured a cooler of water on their coach. Maddie grabbed her bag, and headed home with a smile. When she hopped in the sewers, the others winced in disgust at her bloody nose. Yet, she still had that big dopey smile on her face. "Ew! How did that happen?!" Donnie cringed. "Karai was on the NYC shredders, and she hit the ball in my face at like a billion miles an hour. But we still won!" She explained. "Congratulations! Now get a band aid." Raph mumbled.
