Sandlot ~ Movie Making

Can't hack it, Pantywaists

It was the camp out scene. Tom and I climbed into the tree house.

"What did we miss?" I asked.

"Nothing." Benny said. Ham talked about making smores, but dropped it on the floor. We laughed.

"Sorry." He said. I smiled and we tried again. Then the story of the beast. I zoned out.

"Bri? Bri? Its you line." Tom said.

"Oh, right. Sorry. Uh, what's my line?" I asked.

"The stories fake-"

"Oh, yeah!" I said.

"Scene six, take three."

"This story is so fake. You guys are just making this up to scare us." I said standing up.

"Oh, really? Go look out the window." Squints said. We went over and saw smoke come out of the dog house.

"He's down there." Scotty said.

"You bet he is."

"Whatever goes over that fence.... Stays there." He said.

"And, cut! Good. Anyway, we've got the trailer ready. Who wants to see it?" Evans asked. We all cheered.

He put the tape in. We watched it.

"That was so cool!" Tom said.

"Can, I take this to school, and show. to everybody? Because my teachers still think I'm skipping, to like, smoke, or something." I said as they laughed.

"Brielle." Evans said.

"Please, I want so badly to be like, ha told you so! You thought it was fake! But it wasn't! Ha!" I said. Evans laughed.

"Fine, but only one class." He said. I smiled. Marty and Chauncey did the Wendy scene and then we all sat in the dugout sweating our asses off, even though it was overcast.

"Where were you guys, we've been waiting here forever already."

"Squints, was pervin' a dish." He said. I laughed.

"Shut up. I wasn't." Squints said defending himself.

"Yeah Yeah you were! Your tongue was hanging out of your head, and you was swoonin'. Oh Wendy Peffercorn, my darling lover girl!" He said.

"I said shut up! I've got a lot of things on my mind!" He defended himself.

"Yeah, like her hair, her eyes, her-" Squints cut me off.

"I get it okay!" He said. I high fived Yeah Yeah. Ham walked up, sweating a river.

"Benny, man this pop ain't workin! I'm baking like a toasted cheeser!" Ham said.

"Oh, man up. It's only 110." I said.

"Only?!" All the guys said.

"You gotta call it man. We can't play baseball in this heat!" Denunez said.

"Vote then. Anyone who wants to be a, can't hack it, pantywaist who wears their mamas bra. Raise your hand." He said. Everyone but Benny and I raised our hands.

"So what do we do?" I asked. All the guys started laughing, then yelled.

"Pool honeys!" They yelled.

"Cut!" He said. We tried that scene eight times before we finally got it right. Then we changed into swimsuits. Mine was weird.

The guys all ran and jumped into the pool, while Ham tried showing off, but ended up splashing every girl of a ten foot radius. I walked up, and all the guys stared at me. Besides Smalls of course.

"Hi." Wendy said to me.

"Oh, hi." I said.

"You new here?" She asked.

"Yeah, I just moved here a couple weeks ago." I said.

"Oh, well have fun." She said.

"Thanks." I smiled, then jumped in. The guys came up to me.

"Wendy Peffercorn just talked to you." Bertram said.

"So?" I asked.

"We've been here for three years, and she's never talked to any of us." Ham said.

"Are you guys really all that suprised though." I said. They rolled their eyes.
"Benny go!" Ham said Benny flipped me over in the water. I laughed, then they all stopped to stare at Wendy. They all started swooning until, Squints goes to the deep end.

"What the hell is he doing, Rodriguez?" I asked.

"I don't know, but that's the deep end and Squints can't swim." He said. Squints jumped in and we all started yelling.

Wendy dived into the pool and pulled him out we ran up to him.

"Come, on man. Pull through!" We all said.

"Pull through buddy!"

"Squints!"

Then we saw him open his eyes.

"What the hell?" I muttered. Then when Wendy went back in, and he grabbed her head.

"Little pervert!" She squealed, then kicked us all out.

"Squints!" I said.

"Did you plan that?" Ham asked.

"Of course I did. Been planin' it for years." He said.

"Guys he planned that!" Ham yelled running up to them.

"Just please, tell me you kept your tongue in your mouth, Palledorous." I said then ran away.

"Thats a wrap!" Evans said. We changed out of those wet clingy bathing suits.

"Okay, Mike, Patrick and Brielle we need you stay for stunt practice." The producer told us.

"Oh, okay." I said then sat in the ground. Everyone left and we went up to our stunt coordinator.

"Okay, so Brielle your gonna flip over the ledge of the tree house and onto the pads. So you just grab the top of the ledge and flip over it, but let go." He said then set up the pads. I went to the tree house and ran up, then flipped over it.

"How was that?" I asked.

"It was good, but just run a little faster." He said. After mine it was Pats turn. He had to fall off the ladder. Mike's was probably the hardest, because he had to flip over a fence, then land on his back.

That scene would probably be the most fun. Then I walked home, ate dinner and immediately fell asleep.
