🐥 ONE - VIDEO

[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, 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?

[batteredbatter]

[He'll come around to it]

Y, yeah, I guess! Well, our opponents, I assume you mean. I think we need to shape up a team first though.

[ladyliberty]

We'll work on that. All in good time, buddy, all in good time.

[batteredbatter]

So, well, have you coached before?

[ladyliberty]

Are you doubting me?

[batteredbatter]

No, I mean, I'm sure you're a great player, but I was just curious if you'd coached a team before.

[ladyliberty]

Well, no, not strictly speaking. But how hard can it be?

[batteredbatter]

I guess knowing the game is most of it anyway. [yeah he has no idea how to lead or teach either]

[ladyliberty]

Exactly! It'll be a snap.

[batteredbatter]

Well, I'm looking forward to it then, Miss Amelia! I'm pretty excited to finally be back on a team again.

[ladyliberty]

How long has it been since you've played, kid?

[batteredbatter]

Hmm, almost year I guess... I kind of missed this past spring and summer and it's not like we play much in late fall and winter...

[That's... kind of depressing to think about]

I never replied to this.....

[ladyliberty]

That's awful! We'll have to make up for it this year.

it's fine!

[batteredbatter]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it! [Super optimist]
