Hello, and YES it IS CALCIFER! Time for my theme song!
Aragorn: WHAT theme song?
Calcifer: The one YOU were supposed to be writing!
Aragorn: I thought that was Fernand…
Fernand Mondego: Don' look at me! I'm a count not a saint!
Calcifer: That is Edmond's line!
Fernand: Whatever.
Joey: Am I still the star?
Calcifer: Mhm
Aragorn: She doesn't own Yu-Gi-OH!
Fernand: Yeah, that is a good thing…..
Calcifer: YES! Since I would change it to: Joey-OH!
Aragorn: Yes it is all about HIM isn't it!
Calcifer: Yes.
"Wheeler! You're UP!" the coach called out. A boy in uniform ran up to him, wearing a batting helmet that shadowed his face.
"Yeah, Coach?" he said in a voice that seemed weirder than Joey's. The coach looked at him.
"You gettin' shorter, Joey?" He asked.
"No sir." the boy answered.
"Yeah, must be seeing things." the coach said, rubbing his eyes. "Well, get out there, Wheeler, and win it for us!"
"Right away, sir!" The boy called as he ran up to the plate.
"I could swear he looks shorter…" the coach said to himself. The boy stood at home plate grasping the bat. The opposing team's pitcher threw a pitch that went over Joey's head.
"Ball One!" the umpire shouted. On the next pitch the boy swung really hard and it went soaring out over left field. The boy ran as fast as could to first base, then to second, following Tristan and the other boy who both made it home. The ball was thrown to the pitcher, who threw it home just a second after the boy skidded onto the base. He was safe. The game was won!
Joey Wheeler grinned as he watched the team jump up and down ecstatically. They had won! YEAH! He hobbled over to the coach on his crutch.
"Wheeler! Nice job-" the coach said, and then gasped. "Wheeler! You were over there the whole time!?" He yelled, pointing at the dugout.
"Yeah, sprained my ankle."
"But then how-who-what?!" He said gesturing at the boy who had responded to Joey's name and has won the game for them. The boy, still wearing his helmet jogged over. He pulled it off and tons of long red hair came spilling out.
"Nice job, Serenity!" Joey yelled and hugged her.
"WHAT?! A GIRL?!" The coach yelled, looking flabbergasted.
"Coach, I want you to meet my little sister." Joey said proudly. The coach was still muttering 'how-who-what?!'. Finally he regained his speech.
"WHEELER! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE INJURED!? WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMEONE ELSE TO HIT!" he yelled into Joey's face.
"Maintain your cool, Coach! I knew Serenity could do it! She was the only one who saw me fall, plus I didn't trust anyone else to make the hit that was needed."
"WHEELER! I AM THE COACH! I SAY WHAT GOES! NOT YOU!"
"We won." Joey pointed out, still with his arm around Serenity, who was beaming at her victory.
"We……..won……" the coach repeated to himself, and then began laughing. "WE WON!!!!" He continued laughing and then looked at Serenity. "Young lady, I owe you an apology! You are a great ball player! Congratulations!" He patted her on the shoulder so hard she nearly fell over. "Welcome to the team!"
"What?!" she cried.
"Well, since you just saved the team, I think you deserve a reward." he said. "So? How about it?" he asked. Serenity beamed and said 'yes' about fifty times. The coach walked off laughing.
Serenity gave Joey back his spare uniform and they all went over to Yugi's house for a celebration. Teá and Bakura were congratulating all of them and Joey bandaged up his ankle. They were all talking animatedly about the game.
Marik walked around the town of Domino, thinking about the awful sport of baseball. He had played it in Egypt as a kid and had been hit on the head with a ball. Which really explains a lot, I must point out. As he was walking along he saw Yami Bakura.
"Marik. Sorry I haven't killed Yami yet. How is your plan to rule the world going?"
"I am working on a new plan, Yami Bakura."
"Really? I thought your old one was pretty good…"
"Well this one will achieve a different goal…"
"Which is…?"
"TO DESTROY THE SPORT OF BASEBALL FOREVER!"
"Okay………" Yami Bakura said and then dragged Marik off to see a shrink.
