The sun was shining bright over Free Country USA, but on the dodgeball field, tensions were rising.

"Alright! Coach Z began, making his way onto the field. "I'll pick the team captains and you can play a game of dodgeball!"

"What the crap?" Exclaimed Strong Bad. "Why are you in charge? Where's the umpire?"

"DON'T YOU MENTION THAT WASHED UP HAS-BEEN IN MY PRESENCE!" Coach Z replied angrily. "Now, the team captains! Strong Bad and Homestar."

"Well this should be a breeze." Strong Bad replied, snickering. "Last time he just picked Pompom over and over."

"And this is where things will be different." Coach Z replied. "Any duplicate calls, I will randomly send an unpicked player over to them."

Everyone gulped. They each had mentally picked who they wanted to be aligned with, but there was also a chance Homestar's stupidity would crush their hopes.

"Now, to decide who picks first." Coach Z pulled out a coin and said "call in the air."

As he tossed it, before Strong Bad could say anything, Homestar cried out "heads! No, tails! No, heads! No tails! No heads..."

It landed heads.

"It's heads!" Homestar happily exclaimed.

"Now to pick..." he eyed the crowd. His choices were Pompom, Bubs, The Cheat, both Strong Mad and Sad, Marzipan and, for some reason, Homsar.

"I pick... Pompom!"

Pompom bubbled something sarcastic and bounced his way over.

"Who could have seen that coming?" Strong Bad sarcastically quipped "my Philly Cheat-steak. Get over here."

"Meh!" Replied the cheat.

"Now..." Homestar replied. "I pick... Pompom!"

"Bzzt!" Called out Coach Z. "Pompom has already been chosen. Now, I will randomly select someone for you."

Pompom rolled his eyes, annoyed at his not-so-best best friend.

"He should have picked Bubs... or Strong Mad. I hope that idiot coach picks Bubs or Strong Mad..."

"Strong..." Coach Z began and Pompom's eyes widened with hope. "Sad."

The disappointment was evident on Pompom as Strong Sad made his way over.

"Well, I still get the cool people." Strong Bad began. "Bubs! Get over here."

Bubs danced his way over while Strong Mad made a noise of disappointment.

"Pick Strong Mad." Pompom whispered in Homestar's ear.

"Good idea." Homestar replied. "Marzipan, come on over."

"What the... Marzipan?"

Marzipan turned to the stunned Pompom and said "I told him this morning if I wasn't on his team I would break up with him. And maybe break his face."

"And I pick Graw Mad." Strong Bad said.

Coach Z looked at the even teams, then looked at Homsar, standing alone.

"Ah, Homsar. Unfortunately the teams are even, but don't worry. I have a job for you."

"RAAAAAAAH!" Homsar replied. "I put the chicken upstream."

"Whatever." Coach Z replied. "You're the ball!"
