The Enigmas head back to their bench, leaving the field to the Paradoxes for the last time.

There are only three outs left in Milliways' first ever baseball game . . .

Except that Enzo has already tagged the base and is bouncing from foot to foot on the other side, grinning.

"Sorry, dude!"

Re: Enzo at bat paladinsuitsyou September 18 2009, 03:31:53 UTC

"No worries," Booth says, grinning back at him. "Good play!"

And with goodsportsmanship satisfied all around, he tosses the ball back to the pitcher.

With Enzo on first, here in the bottom of the ninth, Arnold takes his place in the batter's box.

It's the last inning, and Arnold is raring to go! He steps up to the plate and taps the bottom of his shoe with the bat before settling into the perfect stance.

He is so ready.

It takes a few extra seconds for Gaeta to throw; a rabbit's strayed awfully close to the foul line, and despite the fact that a fair few people are closer to it than he is, he's waving his hands at it in an effort to shoo it away.

"Hsst! Go on, get out of here!"

The rabbit eyes him stubbornly and refuses to do anything of the sort.

Okay. Fine. With a sigh and a shrug, Gaeta winds up and pitches.

Re: the football-head has a bat heyfootballhead September 19 2009, 01:38:26 UTC

Arnold gets ready, tenses for impact...and slams the ball at just the right moment.

It's a grounder, folks, and unless somebody stops it it's heading for left field. In the meantime, Arnold will be running as fast as he can to first base!

Re: the football-head has a bat a1enzo September 19 2009, 01:45:12 UTC

And Enzo is off of first, sprinting his hardest around the bases.

Everything is serene on third base. The sun is bright. The clouds are fluffy. The air is crisp. A butterfly wings by. One might even catch the sweet strands of Edvard Grieg's "Morning" playing on the breeze.

The bunnies crossing the foul line don't even go noticed, at first.

"I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT--" Leela sprints for the ball--

--and trips over a bunny.

"OOF!"

The ball thonks her in the shoulder.

Re: the football-head has a bat a1enzo September 19 2009, 04:20:25 UTC

Enzo laughs at his good fortune as he rounds third. Home plate, here he comes...

Re: the football-head has a bat eyeeyecaptain September 19 2009, 04:34:11 UTC

"AAAAIIIEEEEEE!"

It's possible the ball might be rolling for home.

At best.

Re: the football-head has a bat a1enzo September 19 2009, 04:47:44 UTC

Enzo is miles ahead of it, this is going to be a piece of cake, he's almost there, ACK BUNNY ON THE BASEPATH.

Forget it, lapine hellspawn. No way are you spoiling his run. Enzo launches into the air, hurdles the intercepting rabbit, comes down hands-first, and somersaults over home plate.

Re: the football-head has a bat eyeeyecaptain September 19 2009, 04:59:36 UTC

By the time Enzo rolls over home plate, there are bunnies emerging from every direction!

Several players are already fleeing in terror, or using their gloves as makeshift weapons for demon bunny destruction.

While Raph succumbs to a wave of bunnies washing over him, Leela, having righted herself once again, pulls a few of the nasty pointy-teethed little buggers from her person, and delivers a roundhouse kick that sends bunny fur flying everywhere in charred poofs.

"HIYA!"

POOF!

But it looks like the game might be lost...

Re: the football-head has a bat ever_noteful September 19 2009, 15:58:26 UTC

It's chaos. People running on the field, people running off the field, people running around the field.

And rabbits, rabbits everywhere.

Baseball games get called all the time. For rain. For snow. In 1984, Meg and her father were at the first major league game ever to be called on account of wind.

So calling a game is not all that remarkable.

Except that Meg, backing towards the Enigma bench, is pretty sure she is the first umpire in the history of the baseball to have to yell,

"Game called due to demon bunny invasion!"
