Yay! New chapter time:) Enjoy!

"Guess what?" Andrea whispered to Benny as they sat in the dugout. He turned from watching the team perform a routine one play. Kenny would pitch it to Squints, he would hit it to Timmy, and Timmy would get the out at first. They continued that until it was perfect.

"What?" he wondered, trying not to shiver at her close proximity. Her long hair was pushed up inside a baseball cap, and she wore a baggy t-shirt with worn denim shorts. Her sweet smell, however, was what made Benny's head reel. Strawberries…

"Isn't that awesome?" she pulled back and grinned widely. Her emerald eyes were bright with excitement. Gosh, she's pretty.

"I'm sorry…repeat that?" Benny shook his head for acting like such an idiot.

Andrea gave him a strange look, as if wondering about his sanity. Honestly, Benny was wondering the same thing.

"I said," Andy checked her surroundings for any eavesdroppers. "My dad found this old album from back when he watched Yankee games as a kid. There are millions of pictures with the Babe!"

"What?" he exclaimed loudly, popping out of his seat. She giggled and pulled him back down beside her.

"Sh! I don't want them knowing yet! I wanted to show you first."

Benny stared at her incredulously. She had pictures of Babe Ruth sitting in her house; actual, rare pictures of him. This was insane.

"That's incredible, Andy!" Benny whispered, grabbing her wrist in his excitement. "They must be legendary."

"That's why I want to show you," she grinned cheekily, her bright teeth glowing in the sun. Yet again, the sight of her still stunned Benny to his spot. God…

"Really? When?" he asked, practically hopping on the dugout bench. Did this mean she would invite him into her house? Or would she just bring the album to him. Benny had to admit, the thought of being in Andy's house alone made him slightly nervous. A good nervous though.

She pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, checking to make sure the other guys still weren't listening. "Come over tonight?"

He gulped.

"Yeah, sure," he managed to choke out. Well, this should be interesting.

The empty street was almost silent as Benny trekked across the pavement, save for a few cricket chirps and owl hoots. It was a warmer night, so he opted for a t-shirt and pajama pants. Nobody but Andy would see him anyway, so why bother? And it was 9 o'clock at night after all.

He glanced at Smalls' little pink house next door before walking to around the side of Andy's home. He stood between Smalls' and Andy's yard, looking up to the second floor. It wasn't very high, and luckily there was some sort of trellis that would allow him to climb up the distance.

Sticking his hands in his pockets, Benny looked around for something to get his friend's attention. A minute later, pebbles were being thrown at her illuminated window.

'Wow, isn't this cliché,' Benny thought wryly to himself.

Was she asleep? Benny had no idea. It was 9:15 though! Only people like Smalls would sleep this early.

Not ten seconds later did the window finally open, and Benny was greeted with Andy's bright face.

"Come on up," she smiled, motioning him with her hands. He grabbed a hold of the sturdy trellis and climbed up to her window, swinging a leg over the sill and landing in her dimly lit room with a thump.

"Hey, loser," he looked up to see her standing there. Andrea was tying up her long golden hair in a messy bun. Her slim body was covered with an oversized Dodgers shirt, no doubt her father's. She didn't seem to be wearing anything underneath though…

"Loser? Please," Benny shook his head, getting off the floor to stand in front of her. She smiled again, her bright, pretty smile. Benny was beginning to love it.

She suddenly walked toward him, but quickly went passed and to the window.

"Yo, Smalls!" she hissed. Through the screened window, I could see Smalls slowly making his way to see who called him.

"Yeah?" he rubbed his eyes. They lit up when he noticed his friend. "Benny? What are you doing there?"

"The same reason I want you over here for. Now come on!" Andy waved her hand to motion him over.

"I didn't know you wanted people to know," Benny remarked, looked over her shoulder to see Smalls exit his room.

"Who is he gonna even tell?" she raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Fair point."

He sat on her fluffy bed, covered in a blue duvet; Benny's favorite color. He looked around her spacious room. It was like a girl version of his. Baseball posters and stats covered her walls. The only female items her could see were her brushes and perfumes. Was that a bra?

Benny blushed.

"I'm here," Smalls huffed at the window. Andy laughed and pulled him in.

"Wanna see something awesome?" she enthusiastically asked. The small blonde boy nodded carefully.

She led them to lay on their stomachs on the bed. Side-by-side-by-side. Andrea was in the middle. She pulled a large book from under her bed and opened it up. The very first picture was of Babe freaking Ruth standing next to some kid. Her father.

"Oh my God," Smalls muttered to himself, his eyes wide and staring at the photo. After he figured out who the Babe was, he became just as amazed with him as all the boys were.

"I know," she said, still in awe. They looked through about a quarter of the album when they realized they had to get home.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow. Practice at 8?" Smalls hopped off the bed and walked toward the window.

"8 o'clock," Benny nodded. They waved goodbye and he disappeared from sight out the window.

Andrea let out a breath and collapsed backwards onto her bed, staring at her ceiling. Benny could make out her blazing green eyes in the dim light.

"Man, the last few weeks have been crazy for me," she shook her head, folding her small hands across her stomach.

Benny looked at her for a second and lay next to her, keeping his hands clasped behind his head. He turned his head to look at her profile questioningly.

"I mean, when I first moved here, I thought I would hate it," she explained, still staring at the ceiling. A second later, she turned her head to face Benny. They were mere inches apart, but neither moved at all.

"When I met you guys though, it all changed. I can't even imagine leaving now."

He stayed silent, looking into her emerald orbs. She was absolutely beautiful.

"Don't ever leave," he murmured quietly finally.

She gave his hand a quick squeeze, but let go after a second.

"I won't."
