🐥 ONE - VIDEO

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia appears on the network in a red Phillies cap, a baseball in her hands and a large pink gum bubble in her face. Her wings are folded behind her back at the moment, but they're impossible to miss, even for those who haven't seen her before. She pops the bubble with a loud smack and grins cheekily at the camera.]

So you all heard Principal Munroe. It's time to get our clubs on. So I figured I'd let everyone know, I've volunteered to coach the baseball team, and my buddy Pinky's gonna be your team captain. Anyone who's interested, meet us out at the diamond after class on Monday and we'll see what kinda level everyone's at, with and without powers. Bring your own gear if you've got it, it's slim pickins in the sports shed. Maybe if we get enough interest we can talk someone into buyin' us some balls and a mitt or two. Anyone can come, even if you've never played before; I'll teach you everything you need to know. [Those who have been witness to Amelia's previous attempts at teaching anything may find this somewhat alarming. In fact, anyone who's familiar with Amelia may be wondering if she should really be allowed to chaperone anyone at all.]

By the way, if anyone doesn't know me, my name's Amelia. It's awesome to see everyone back again. Some of y'all haven't changed a bit.

...I thought you didn't teach Amelia dear. [Chin on hand]

[ladyliberty]

This isn't teaching, this is coaching. It's different.

[gloriousandfree]

Didn't you coach a flight thing? [She remembers that series of texts Amelia. She remembers]

[ladyliberty]

Okay first of all, A, no, that wasn't coaching, that was teaching. And second of all it's not my fault the kids were wusses.

[gloriousandfree]

Amelia you tried to throw them off a roof. That's called self preservation.

[vulgarcrocodile]

I feel sorry for the children already. [Or he would if he, you know, he wasn't a jerk.]

[ladyliberty]

Yeah, I'd heard you were gonna be corrupting the minds of our youth.

[vulgarcrocodile]

Corrupting isn't the word I would use. [Twisting and manipulating their minds was a clearly more fitting term.]

[ladyliberty]

Devouring?

[vulgarcrocodile]

I would use that word only if it were you teaching them.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Oh, if we get uniforms, I request mine have a skirt, please!

[ladyliberty]

You sure? That's gonna make sliding pretty rough.

Re: [video]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Just wear shorts underneath it. No problem.

[ladyliberty]

That's still leaving half your leg bare, kiddo. But I guess if you wanna get intimate with the ground, I won't stop you.

[Luckily, Koshi has absolutely no familiar with Amelia's track record at all]

Pinky... you mean me?!

[It's... been a while since someone called him by his hair color. And, uh, it probably wasn't that nice when that happened. HE'S GOING TO ASSUME SHE HAS THE BEST OF INTENTIONS THOUGH]

[Video]

[ladyliberty]

[Sure she does! Also she forgot to ask what his name is.]

Yeah, that's you, squirt. Congrats!

[batteredbatter]

I, it's Koshi! Koshi Tanaka! [HE'S REALLY TRYING TO TAKE THOSE NAMES AS FRIENDLY BUT HE'D RATHER BE CALLED BY NAME]

[ladyliberty]

[THE NICKNAMES MEANS SHE LIKES YOU]

Koshi? Alright then. You ready to crush 'em, Koshi?

[tofudog]

Heya Coach! Thanks for stepping up!

[ladyliberty]

I couldn't let you kids go without a baseball team, could I?

[tofudog]

We'll do you proud!

[Or try to. He's never actually played before.]

So are you like, a teacher here?

[ladyliberty]

[We can work with that.]

Oh, sure. I teach lunch.

[wholovesyou]

[Playing with balls and wood? Sounds right up Moxxi's alley!

Oh, right, we're talking about baseball.]

Thought of some team names yet, sugar?

Re: bideo

[ladyliberty]

[We're gonna get along just fine.]

Maybe something like Shooting Stars! Or Devilbears. I guess I oughta ask what the kids think.

did I really fucking spell this as bideo

[wholovesyou]

Shooting Stars does roll off the tongue nicely.
