The Sandlot 3: Heading Home: Sydney's Summer

Chapter 11: Old Man Myrtle's house

I was asleep having a nice dream, about us winning the game until this happened... .: "Sydney Anna Marie Montgomery, will you take EJ Needman as your lawful, wedded husband." said The Priest. "I do." My future self said. "Will you, EJ Needman take Sydney Anna Marie Montgomery as your wife." The priest said. "I do, forever and I will." replied future EJ. We were about to kiss. "AHHHHHHHHhhhHHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed, with sweat dripping down my face.

"Sydney!!! What are you doing?" asked D.P. "What happened?" he was shouting that from the window. I walked to the window. "D.P, it's 2 in the morning, what is it?" I asked tiredly. "We're going to get the equipment Tommy talked about." He replied. "In the middle of the night, what's open?" I asked, half-awoke. "Old-man Myrtle's house." said Wings. "Guys, this seems cool. But, doesn't it sound like breaking and entering?" I asked.

"The place is abandoned." said Wok. "Accept for the treasure." Smirked Roll. "Treasure??" I asked with a grin.

They all nodded up in down. "C'mon Sydney White. Get out of your beauty sleep, and let's go get our equipment." said Two-Ton, "Hey, that's good. Guys, how about we call her Sydney White, like Snow White?" smiled Two-Ton. They all nodded in agreement. "But, when I think about it. Take my advice, want to stay on the right side of the law?" I said. They all made chicken noises at me. "Told you she wouldn't go." D.P said disappointed.

"C'mon guys, let Snow White get her beauty sleep." mocked Two-Ton. "Cool it now, Syd." whispered D.P, "You're not going to get a second chance at this." "Ok, alright. I'm coming." I told D.P. I got on my clothes and ran out the door, got on my bike and met the guys. "Ok, let's do this." I said. "They all nodded." "So, what was that dream you had?" asked D.P.

"Oh, that. That was nothing." I told him quickly. "You sure, I have a feeling your hiding something from us." concerned Wings. "I'm sure." I told them. "You better not lie, because the "Santa" knows where you live." said Tommy. "I'm not lying." I protested. "I just had a nightmare, about a boy." I said. "There, I've said it." "Who was it? Was it me?" flirtatiously Tommy.

"No, it wasn't. I'm not telling who. I will let you guys figure out who it was." I said.

We all pedaled our bikes to Old Man Myrtle's house. We all parked our bikes, and went to the gate. "Move, move, move." said D.P. "Shut up, D.P." we all said. "Move your butts." D.P protested.

"Hey check this out!!" shouted Roll, when we saw a doghouse. "Hercules." said Wings. "Who names their dog Hercules?" asked Two-ton, with disbelief. "It was probably just some Chihuahua or something, you how people name the dog just the opposite of what they are." Wok explained. We saw a dog bone on the ground, it was very huge.

"That must've been a grande' Chihuahua man." said Roll, with wide eyes. We walked up to the front door. "This is crazy guys. That's it, I'm out of here." said Timber. "Oh, c'mon, don't be such a wuss! I thought we were a team." D.P protested, "Besides, Sydney was chicken then she decided to go." "No, stay, we need to do this for the team. Tommy's right, we need our equipment. Please do this, Timber, please?" I said, gently. I grabbed his arm gently. He was blushing. "Alright, I'll stay. Just for the equipment." said Timber.

"Thanks, Timber." I smiled. He smiled back. "Alright then, go ahead. You're up." He asked the people behind us. "I say we send in one of the little guys... kind of like a scout!" Two-Ton suggested, looking down at Q. "Since when does the shortest guy have to go first?" Q protested. "When the taller guys, tell him to!" Two-Ton thundered.

"Speaking of short guys... where's Ryan?" Timber pointed out. We were looking around to see if Ryan was here. "Ryan, where are you?" I called out. "Great, Ryan's missing, guys I don't think this... ..IT'S HERCULES!!!" said Wings.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" we all screamed. I jumped up in Tommy's arms to hold me, because I was scared. The face was lowered; we see a smiling face appear afterwards. "It's Ryan." I said, "He scared us." I got off of Tommy's arms. "The "Santa" protected you enough?" he said, with a grin. "Yeah, um sure, thanks." I said. "You're welcome, Sydney White, anytime." He replied. I gave him a stare.

"Really, you're pulling that card on me." I said. He just grinned back. "Fancy move, kid, pretty impressive." said Tommy, sarcastically. He waved to us to go inside. "Guys check this floor, we'll check upstairs." I commanded the others as Wings, Tommy, and Q followed me. "AhHHHHHH!!!" we screamed, finding a ghost-like being in another room. We found out that it was actually a sheet. "That's a big baseball." I said.

Wings, Tommy, Q nodded in agreement.

"RAWWWWW!!!" said the mysterious voice. We turned around and found out that it was D.P. He was laughing at us. "It's not funny, you idiot!!" shouted Wings. "Whoa, that is a big baseball." said D.P. "Hey, guys I see a baseball cap inside a wall." I said. I went to the wall and found a baseball, hidden under the baseball cap.

"I told you there was treasure in there." said D.P. "This is treasure alright. But why leave it in such an obvious place?" said Tommy. "I don't know, maybe because it might be a sign to us." I said. I took the baseball from the platform, and then the baseball platform started moving.

"Guys, I have a bad feeling about this." I said. They all nodded worriedly. We saw baseball bats, falling down on us. "AhHHHHHH!!!!" we all screamed, all around the place. I saw Two-Ton, got his face stuck on the baseball mitt. "Guys, I found the exit!!" I shouted, we all were running down the stairs. I saw Tommy stop to go back.

"Tommy, what are you doing?" I asked. "I need to go back and get my treasure." He replied. I saw him get the treasure; I saw the big, smiley, baseball fall down the stairs chasing Tommy. "AHHHH!!" screamed Tommy. Then, Tommy fell out the door and ended up having the baseball stuck in the door. "That is a big baseball." said Q. Then, I went back home on my bike and thought about the crazy thing that happened to us.
