𝐍𝐎𝐓 excited. She was never good at sports and no matter how heard she tries, she always ends up failing horribly. Her family doesn't judge but it doesn't really matter. Cora doesn't find the game fun.

But she will watch from the sidelines. Now that is fun. Edward had invited Bella and Cora was excited to have someone to talk to as everyone else plays.
   "Rosalie's all geared up." Cora scans Rosalie's baseball outfit with a smile.
   "Slayy."
   "Slay?"
   "You're old." Rose looks at her with an offended expression which only cause Cora's grin to widen.
   "Excited to play with the human?" Rosalie scowls at the thought. Rosalie despised Isabella for some reason. They all understood that she was nervous since we were breaking a sacred rule by keeping Bella around, but her hatred was almost personal.
   "She's not so bad Rosalie. Just very scented. Like a walking candle!"
   "She's a human!" Rosalie retorts, brushing through her golden locks of hair.
   "If you had found Emmett and he wasn't about to bleed out, would you just abandon him?"
   "Well—"
   "No. You wouldn't. You guys would be so in love!" Rosalie squints at her for a moment. Cora smirks to herself, grabbing Rose's hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it with a goofy grin.
   "Hey, baby.." Cora mocks Emmet and Rose can't help but smirk at her horrible impression.

After a few moments, they had all run to the empty field and were simply waiting for the two slowpokes to arrive.
   "Waiting on Edward and Bella." Cora mumbles, slightly bored that there's nothing to watch.
They all perk up. Having smelt the human  approach.
   "Fi—na—lly." Jasper rolls his eyes at Cora, pushing her away lightly. She turns around with furrowed brows, pointing an accusatory finger at him.
   "That's not very nice, Jazz." He smirks in her direction, sending calming waves her way.
   "I hate you." She growls.
   "I love you, too." She rolls her eyes, turning to see Rosalie and Carlisle messing with the bat.

   "Glad you're here. We need an umpire." Esme wraps an arm around Bella's shoulders.
   "I exist too, you know." Cora jokes, running over to them.
   "She thinks we cheat.." Esme rolls her eyes, looking towards her son.
   "I know you cheat."
   "Yeah Emmett, remember that time when—"
   "You promised you wouldn't tell!" Emmett cuts her off, grabbing her shoulder as he pleads with her. Cora raises her hands in a playful surrender before following Esme and Bella.

   "Call em' as you see them, Bella. Cora will help."
   "Okay." Bella mumbles, her eyes focused on the field. Lightning strikes and the thunder is loud in the sky. Alice looks up at the sky with a sly smile.
   "It's time."
   "Finally! Let's get this party started!" Cora whoops with a smile. Rosalie bats first, hitting the ball with all her might and smirking as it flies deep into the forest. She takes off running but it isn't long before Edward disappears into the woods.
   "Now I see why you need the thunder. That's gotta be a home run, right?" Cora raises a brow at Bella's comment, watching Edward disappear into the tree line before clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth..
   "Hm. I don't think so."
   "Edward is very fast." Esme adds on, squinting at Rosalie as she runs.

A moment later the ball comes flying out of the trees. Esme catches it, barely making it before Rosalie touches the base. Esme glances at Bella and Cora.
   "You're out." Bella says, a sheepish expression on her face.
   "Ha!" Cora laughs, smirking towards Rosalie.
   "Out!" Emmett cheers before noticing the expression on Rosalie's face.
   "Babe, come on. It's just a game." Rosalie glares at Bella as she walks by, resisting the urge to shove her.

Carlisle goes up next. He hits the ball with force, running as fast as possible.
   "This isn't as fun as I remember." Cora mumbles, sighing of boredom. Emmett and Edward both seem to spot the ball and as they go to grab it they slam into each other, both bodies collapsing to the ground.
   "Never mind, this is very funny." She laughs, smiling towards Bella before focusing her attention of the vampires.
