Lucas: "Man, this is a long one"

Ness: "I know you like long ones Luke" *Winks*

Lucas: "Great, now they all know I'm a bottom."

Ness: "Well, I think they all knew I'd be top dog."

Lucas: "Go fuck yourself."

Ness: "Is that a challenge, well, challenge accepted moral."

Lucas: *Rolls eyes* "Try to enjoy this shit."

Lucas

There he is. A boy of absolute wonders. He could be a dream, a hope, or a joke. He and his friends don't know me, nor would they care. The only one who knows me in this damn school is my brother and Toon Link--TL for short. So many different and odd people here, but yet, I seem to be the most different. No matter how many talking animals are in the school, or 2D creatures, I always seem the most different. I should probably stop staring at him. He may not know who I am, but I rather not let my first impression be of someone who simply stares at people, not the best impression in imprint onto someone.

I shake my head and find out the place I was in. I was so transfixed on him that I didn't realize I had left the school entirely. I knew I needed to head back in, I told TL that I'll meet him. I was starting to walk back to the school, but I just crashed into TL. I rubbed my head and saw him smirking. "The hell's with that smirk?" I asked. He cackled.

"You don't think I didn't see you?" TL asked lustfully. I knew what he meant, but I didn't want to allow him to know I know--for some reason. I crossed my arms.

"I dunno what you mean."

"Mhm, sure you don't." I rolled my eyes and he walked to me and slammed my back. "If you like him, just go talk to him."

"You're crazy, I can't just go and talk to him. His friends'll beat the hell out of me."

"Ok, you're giving Ninten and Popo too much credit." I shook my head and walked toward the school. "Where are you going?" I simply shook my head, not fully knowing why I'm heading back either. This happens often. I often move, without knowing why I move. Know, without knowing how I know. Love, but, not knowing how to love.

Before I could realize, I was in the back of the school, the baseball fields. I've always loved baseball, but never had the chance to play it. I often use a stick in the manner of a bat, but, compared to a bat it's nothing. I see a ball in the distance. I contemplated for a split second before running and grabbing it. I tossed it up and caught it. In the batter's cage, there was a small bag with a bat sticking out of it. I ran over to it and grabbed the bat that was sticking out of it. Is this stealing? Kinda. Do I care? Not really.

I walked over to Homebase and got in the batter's square. "Lucas is up to bat. This famed batter has an extremely phenomenal batting average. He is bound to get nothing but the best grand slam, the crowd is now silent, waiting to see what this kid will do," I pump myself up. I place the ball and bat on the ground and make a small megaphone around my mouth with my hands. I started to cheer like I was in the crowd. I reach down and grab the bat. I closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes to see the stands full of cheering fans. The night sky scattered with glistening lights shining on me. The scoreboard shows that we are three points behind. The bases are loaded and I'm up to bat. I don't tend to thrive off this stress, but when I'm playing Baseball, that's all that drives me. That, and ensuring the victory for our undefeated leader, Ness.

Before the pitcher threw the ball, Ness called a pause. I honestly didn't even realize you could do that. We huddled like we were about to start a play in Football. We all had our hands over the backs of the people next to us. "Alright guys, this is it. Luke, the bases are loaded. If you can it toward left field--their weakest field--we should be able to get at least the three needed to tie. You could try to run home, but if it's a chance to get out then bailout," Ness said. I nodded. "This win is all in your hands."
