there it was your big time no one else's yours. let's catch you up yea
bottom of the 18th
Clovis East-4
Clovis High-6
if it wasn't for Reef Doves 3 run homer in the top of the 18th you would've already been home but you've saved them in the season and playoffs. your count is full 3-2 you've fouled every strike you didn't like. bases loaded then the curveball inside the one pitch you can't hit you close your eyes and swing.

"BLAKEEEE WHERE ARE MY BLUE NIKE SOCKS"
"I DONT KNOW PRINCESS HOW ABOUT YOU LOOK"
"BOTH OF YOU STOP YELLING YOULL WAKE UP YOUR MOTHER"
"IM ALREADY AWAKE"
you laughed realizing your family is crazy, then you find your blue nike socks and put them on along with your Clovis East warmup jersey and shorts that said "Wolfpack is coming" you put on your Blue and grey Nike shoes and hit your brother on the head
"you ready for conditioning twerp"
" dads gonna kill us at practice he's planning on 30 wind sprints after each drill"
"how would you know he never tells anyone his plans"
Blake smirked "I found his clipboard and sneaked a peek"
you giggle "really you're in so much trouble"
"only if he finds out"
your dad comes into the kitchen "you guys rea- nick what are you wearing"
you look at him crazy "um shorts"
"those aren't shorts all the boys will be looking at you"
"Michael she's fine, you look sporty sweetie" as your mom says she kisses you and Blake on your heads
"see dad I'm fine now let's go ,coach dad"

you all get in your dads truck packing up the team gear and your gear
you and Blake fight over front seat but he wins. you get in the back and French braid your hair and put a bow and headband in.

"nick"
"yea dad"
" how long do you think Joe should spend with the catchers"
" um maybe 30 so we can all do throwdowns 3 times"
"alright"
your brother looks at you jealous "dad why didn't you ask me about the pitchers"
"because you've told me 10 times already"
"it's alright dad he's just jealous I get to be on the varsity baseball team as starting catcher"
" I'm not jealous of my little sister I'm on the varsity team too"
you make a face at him then he does and you both start to laugh. your bond with your brother is unbreakable and nothing can change that

you all get to the fields and start to set up and you see the boys arrive, you get excited knowing you'll see Easton the first basemen,your bestfriend since grade school, but your dad always has an eye on the both of you he doesn't trust him but you do. when everyone's in the dugout getting ready you call out names for roll call
"Sammy" -here
"Hunter"- here
"Dorky big brother"- here
then you go down the list and hit the last name
"Ugh Clayton"
"I'm right here baby girl" he tried to put his arm around you but your brother gets up and says "how many times do I have to tell you stay away from my baby sister okay and that goes to all of you she's on the team she's part of our team and if you touch her your baseball career I will guarantee that's over"
"thanks Blake" you give him a kiss on the cheek
then your coach walks in "ALRIGHT ENOUGH you boy- and nick ready for this season are biggest competition is Clovis high right now and what are we gonna do in playoffs?"
"MAKE THEM FEAR THE PACK"
"that's what I'm talking about now go get stretching "
your dad always knew how to get the team hyped up no matter what
"hey nick partner?" Easton asked from a far "yea sure you grab a ball"
"yep" you head over there to throw with Easton and start to be the stud you are and get done first
"ALRIGHT pitchers go to the bullpens middle infield go to your positions and corners go work with coach smith outfielders with coach brown and catchers with me" coach Joe said
4 1/2 hours later
"alright good practice all o you did great I better see that in games alright Blake call it"
"WHO ARE WE"
everyone else smiles and says
"TWOLVES"
"WHAT ARE WE"
" A PACK"
"ALRIGHT PACK ON THREE
"PACK"
everyone starts to pack up and your first so you start taking gear to your dads truck you get his keys and unlock the car and you get in front waiting for everyone your dad and Blake get in the car.
you get home and go straight to your and blakes room. you get ready to take a shower. also Blake does right after you. then you change into a flower tanktop with an old man sweater and shorts with high top black converse then your brother comes down in his usual fuckboy outfit button upshirt with clouds on it with khaki shorts and white vans. the family was going to the fair and you hate the fair but your brother was always saying I'll protect you on the Ferris wheel and space mountain. when the you guys got there you and Blake ran off to the food court cause you both haven't eaten since breakfast your parents walk hand in hand over to your table
"so how was practice you guys"
you and Blake look at each other and say "dad made us go through hell"
"MICHAEL I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL ON THOSE KIDS"
"sorry honey but no" you and Blake finish his sentence "no pain no gain we know dad"
"that's my twins"
"oh yay twins with this nerd"
"Blake you're lucky to be able to sit next to me"
then you both start to bicker then laugh and realize how immature you both are.
"WELLL I'm gonna go get on space mountain with my baby sister"
"twin brother say what"
"yep come on" he grabs your arm and you just mouth to your parents help me
"come onnnn nick"
"Blake I'm gonna die"
you both get on and start to buckle up
your brother sees you shaking and he holds your hand and squeezes it as in saying I'm right here
"I CANT BELIEVE YOU MADE ME GO ON THAT"
"love you too sis" Blake says and kisses you on the head
"alright ready to head home"
"YES DAD" you yell running to the car
"she's such a baby" your brother says and you hear him so you stop running turn around and say "you wanna repeat that again mister"
"mom you said she cant do that anymore"
"well we told you not to challenge her"
you run after him and get on his back and he just laughs and carries you to the car
