Molly and (Y/n) are cheering up the Lemmings team while they are playing a softball match. "Whoo! Let's go Lemmings!" Molly said. The ball gets hit by the bat, two girls from the Lemmings team try to catch it while Andrea, who is checking her phone, ignores the game. "I got it!" The twins said. They both crash each other and the ball touches the ground. "And be aware of your surroundings. You gotta believe and be aware of your surroundings!" (Y/n) said. "..and I terrified one William Palmer...Scare Report done and off to the Ghost Council it goes!" Scratch opens a portal and throws the report. It lands on a Ghost Council member's face. "Now what's going on here?" He asked. Molly points to the team score in the board. It shows "Lemmings: 0 and Guest: 19" "Nineteen to nothing? Ugh. Is there like, any other team we can root for?" Scratch asked. "No, Scratch. Look, all that Libby and the Lemmings need to succeed is a little encouragement!" Molly said. "And nobody encourages harder than us." (Y/n) said. 

"Well, that's true." Scratch agreed. "And once the Lemmings start winning, that'll "en-happify" out little town in Brighton!" Molly said. "En-happify?" Scratch asked. "It's a word..." Molly said. The sound of a ball getting hit by the bat is heard in the background. "That ball's going right to Libby! You got it girl!" (Y/n) said. Libby gets distracted and hit by the ball in the head and falls to the floor. "Nope, I can't put a positive spin on it. They are terrible..." Molly said. After the game Molly and (Y/n) go to see Libby. Sheela and Kat pass by, defeated, as the losing team. "I don't want to play anymore." Kat said. "Why do I even try?" Sheela asked. "That was some really great standing in the field, Libby." (Y/n) said. "It was outstanding, um, standing." Molly added. "It's okay, Molly. We know we're awful. Thanks for coming though. It was nice to hear your cheers... over all the weeping." Libby said. Scratch poofs in. "Welp, time to call it a day, huh? We should really get going. I got a nap with my name on it." He said. "The Lemmings don't believe in themselves, Scratch." (Y/n) said. "They don't believe they can be winners." Molly said. "Well, they believe correctly, Moll, because, follow me on this..." Scratch forms the word ¨LOSERS¨ with his arms. "They're losers." He said. "Hey, everybody deserves a chance to succeed." (Y/n) said. "So, what if we joined the Lemmings and taught them the power of positive thinking?" Molly asked her sister. Molly and (Y/n) run to the infield. The background changes to rainbows and unicorns to reflect their energy.

"A lifetime diet of animated films has taught us that as long as we believe in ourselves, we can do anything!" Molly said. Scratch approaches them and ¨pops¨ the background. "Yeah, okay, but, uh...have either of you ever even played softball?" He asked. "Us? Play softball? Is that what you're asking?" (Y/n) asked. "Have we ever played it?" Molly asked. "Yeah." Scratch said. "No." (Y/n) said. "Have we wanted to play it?" Molly asked. "Also no." (Y/n) said. "But are we gonna play it? Heck to the yes!" Molly throws the softball ball to the air. This falls back and hits to a Lemming member in the background. "Sorry!" She said. Later at another game, Molly and (Y/n) are wearing the team clothes and are trying to encourage the team members. "Okay, Lemmings. To win this game, all we need to do is believe in ourselves." Molly said. "We're winners¨ on three. One, two..." (Y/n) said. The team members ignore them. "Three? We're winners?" (Y/n) asked. "I'm hungry..." one of them said. "I think we could've planned that better." (Y/n) said. "Okay, good enough." Molly said, and (Y/n) face palms. 

"For the Skylarks, batting first, Tammy Myers!" The announcer said. Tammy walks self-assured to the infield. She grabs the softball bat and takes her stance. "Let's see what you've got, kid." She said. (Y/n) stands in pitcher position, preparing herself to throw the ball. "Phew.. Just Believe." (Y/n) attempts throwing the ball, failing miserably in the process. The Skylarks members laugh at (Y/n)'s lack of softball playing skills. "Is there a circus in town? 'Cause there's a clown on the mound!" Tammy said. "Hey!" Molly shouted, glaring at her. Scratch notices how the other team members are making fun of (Y/n). "Whoo! How dare you make fun of (Y/n) McGee? That's my job!" He shouted. (Y/n) tries throwing the ball again, suddenly the ball gains a blue glow and starts to move on its own. Tammy tries hitting it but fails. "Strike one." A man said. "Lucky Pitch..." Tammy said. The ball is thrown again and Tammy misses it. "Strike Two." (Y/n) throws the ball a third time. Tammy tries hitting it multiple times only for the ball to avoid all her movements. "Strike three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. You're out. Three times." he ball returns to (Y/n). "Ho-Ho! Let's hear it for the power of positive thinking." Molly said. It turns out it was Scratch the one who was possessing it to help (Y/n) win the game. "Hahaha, Ow!" He said. Scratch continues helping Molly and (Y/n) win the game without them knowing.
