I'll Meet You There

18

Day 11

Thanks to the rain, our Mount Fuji hike was cancelled, and Poppy frowned and said in a raspy voice that was hard to hear, "Darn. I was hoping to hike."

I think most annoying is that I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. She enjoyed hiking, when she was in the mood. And since she was sick, maybe she wasn't in the mood.

Brennen decided to hide our car, and only I knew about the prank.

Elton started yelling at the employees because they weren't understanding the word car.

Eventually, as the prank started getting more out of hand, Brennen got the keys back and said that it was a prank.

We decided to do a baseball game instead of the hike we'd originally planned.

Not only was Poppy's voice raspy and strained, but mine was too. Elton gave us each a ticket and Poppy frowned. "What's this?"

She studied the ticket and looked up at me, then at Elton. "A baseball game? Sure, why not."

We walked into the stadium and saw that it was dome shaped. 

Us guys were in awe at the inside of the dome and walked to our seats. Poppy didn't seem to care, which tends to be pretty normal for her. Elton had picked some good seats, which was awesome. A player stole a base, according to Elton. Brennen, who had gone to get food, returned with a cup of noodles and beer. I told him about the player stealing the base. Elton commented how he couldn't take Jules and I seriously, due to our shot voices. A player scored, and the people on or side started cheering.

Elton told us he wanted to get on the field while a dancer appeared. He said he could do better, and started dancing. Brennen made a joke that the girls who were dancing had competition. He started dancing with Elton and they sat down when the dance finished.

Condoms started flying through the air and we made a comment as to how weird it was. Brennen figured it came from the systems, but it looked like it was people causing the condoms to fly around.

We moved closer to the field to get a better view and I had my phone out. Poppy looked at me and shook her head and I put it away. Brennen seemed shocked. "Did Poppy just get you to put your phone away? #polby!"

"Polby?" Poppy asked.

"Poppy and Colby."

"What- Why are-" She shook her head. "Never mind, it's the Internet."

A few of us started dancing to the music and Brennen was given a balloon that looked like a dick and was blowing it up. Jay's voice raised in pitch while he questioned what Brennen was doing. Who the hell knows. Brennen released his balloon, and it flew around for awhile. 

Someone else scored and I said, "Touchdown."

"Oh, my God," Brennen muttered. "Someone ship him back to the US. Get it right. Goal!"

Poppy rolled her eyes and coughed. She closed her eyes and sighed as she mumbled, "Ow."

Elton filmed Brennen and I dancing like weirdos, and Poppy was looking at us, like she was trying to figure out what we were doing. Brennen and I started hip-thrusting and then stopped when a kid ran past. We got cramps from how intense we had danced and Poppy looked at us, giving a small shrug.

Jay and Elton started a drum battle with the band, which didn't last very long.

As soon as the game ended, we pretended we were kids so we could walk onto the field. Unfortunately, that wouldn't pass very well, as us guys looked like we could be chaperones.
