(Lark is asleep at the table in the ramble room when shell comes in)
Lark: *mumbles in her sleep* "Shut up, Wu-fei. *You* suck...."
Shell: *looks around, confused* "Huh? Lark, wake up!" *shakes her*
Lark: *sits up* "Huh, what? Who's attacking?"
Shell: "No one! What are you doing here at 2 A.M?"
Lark: "What you *doing* here?"
Shell: "Uh....anyway, I have news for ya."
Lark: "What? And don't tell me you want to play baseball against us again. I swear that's *so* over."
Shell: "No! Actually, Jackie was talking to Duo and she mentioned the game......and now they want to play us."
Lark: "The Gundam Wing boys want to play us?"
Shell: *nods* "Yup."
Lark: "Hmmmm....that sounds interesting....we could put together some sort of all star team. When do they want to play us?"
Shell: "Two days from now."
Lark: "Two days from now?!" *sighs* "Fine. We have to make up the all star team right now then."
Shell: *sighs in annoyence* "Now!? At 2 A.M?"
Lark: "Yes." *takes out some paper* "I'll also have to rewrite the rules..."
(the next morning....all the FF characters have gathered in the ramble room)
Reno: "Does anyone know why we're here?"
Irvine: "Not a clue."
(lark and shell drag themselves in. they look really tired.)
Lark: "Hey, everybody. I've got news for you."
Zell: "Are you finally kicking Sephiroth out?"
Sephiroth: "Hey! She would never do that!....right?"
Lark: "No!....probably not....anyway, we're here cause the Gundam Wing guys have challenged us to a game of baseball."
Rufus: "Oh yeah?! We'll kick their ass!"
Lark: "Uh....you won't be playing."
Rufus: "What?"
Shell: "We made an all star team: The Knights of the Masamune!"
Sephiroth: "I like it!"
Lark: "Now, we could only have 13 of you on the team, so we had to cut out those of you who suck."
Reno: "Sorry, Reeve." *laughs*
Reeve: "Hey!"
Shell: "You're not on it either, Reno."
Reno: "Wha?!"
Lark: "Here's who's on the team: me, Shell, Squall, Vincent, Zell, Seifer, Rude, Sephiroth, Twilight, Tseng, Irvine, Tifa and Cloud."
Reno: "Hey! Rude's on it and I'm not!?"
Michelle: "Hey....you put all the cheaters on the team!"
Lark: "Yeah, well, do you want to win or not? Michelle, you, Jackie, Rinoa, Quistis, Selphie and Yuffie are our cheerleaders."
Jackie: "Hey! Maybe I want to root for Duo!"
Shell: "No! They have to provide their *own* cheerleaders."
Lark: "The rest of you have to come watch. Whoever doesn't come has to hang out with Scarlet, Nida, Hojo and Heidegger for the rest of the week."
Everyone: *shudders*
Lark: "This is going to be a big event. Not like last time. So there's no losing!"
Sephiroth: "You're more competitive than I am!"
Shell: "Hey, you know you two, I was doing one of those stupid little games to see if you two were comparable, and you're a perfect match!"
Lark: *blinks* "What?"
Sephiroth: "Really?!" *clears throat* "Ugh....that...sucks..."
Shell: *grins* "Just thought you'd like to know."
Lark: *sighs* "Okay, I really care. Now everybody gear up and practice for the big game!"
Kiros: "Ward says you're gonna lose!"
Laguna: "But...the game didn't even start yet."
(ward grabs kiros by the collar and holds him up, glaring at him)
Kiros: *innocent smile* "Heh heh....just kidding!"
(the day of the game has arrived!! whoo hoo! the gundam wing supporters: the treize faction, the doctors, and quatre's fighting guys' whose name starts with an M and I can't remember....so I'll call them Quatre's guys for lack of a better description, are sitting in the stands on the left side, and they're all cheering already. on the FF are all the people not playing. reno, reeve and rufus are sitting together towards the front. heidegger is selling peanuts and laughing annoyingly. nida, hojo, ward and scarlet are back as the umpires. since this is a big game, ads have been placed around the field...)
Elena: "Hey, check out all those ads...."
Bria: "You'd think it was being broadcast on tv!"
Elena: "Look at these....vote for Treize...vote for Laguna...vote for...Rufus?!"
Bria: *laughs* "Look at that one!" *points to a sign that says: For a good time call 555-4978* "Isn't that Shell's cell phone number?"
Elena: "....for some reason I don't think she put that one up...."
(lark and shell go over to the gw side of the field)
Lark: "Why hello there everyone."
Quatre: "Hi, Lark! It's such a beautiful day for baseball! The sky's so beautiful, the grass is so beau--"
Shell: "Quatre!"
Quatre: "Sorry."
Heero: "Hi, Lark. Prepare to lose to The Zero System."
Shell: "You named your team The Zero System?"
Lark: "You guys name everything The Zero System!"
Wu-fei: "Heero picked the name. He sucks."
Duo: "Hey, man! He's the captain! Stop dissin' him!"
Wu-fei: "No! Shut up, weakling!"
Trowa: "....does someone want to hit me with a bat till I pass out?"
Lark: "All right, Heero, since you're the captain of your team...who's on it, and what positions are they playing?"
Heero: "Well, there's me. I'm playing first base. Wu-fei's catching, Duo's pitching, Quatre's got third base, Trowa's playing right field, Sally Po's got 2nd base, Zechs is our center fielder, Noin is left field and Treize is short stop."
Treize: "Hey, sweetie!" *looks her up and down* "Cute uniforms."
Lark: "Thanks...but I really hate pink."
Zechs: *looks from shell to lark* "Why is your sister wearing a skirt and you're not?"
Lark: "Cause she's an idiot."
Shell: "Hey!" *pause* "Hey, why are you guys wearing black uniforms?"
Heero: "We like black. Black is.....nice."
Lark: "Yeah, I like black too, but do you realize it's going to get really hot out?"
Heero: "Uh..................."
Shell: "Oh well! Too late now!"
Lark: "Talk to you guys later....." *winks* "May the better team win."
(they go back to their dugout)
Lark: "Okay, Knights of the Masamune! Are we ready to win!" *cough* "And cheat?"
Twilight: "You bet! Cheating's what I do best! Besides fighting."
Zell: "Right....."
Twilight: *grabs his lightsaber* "Wanna try me?"
Shell: "No, Twily! Remember what Opal said!"
Twilight: *sighs and recites* "No fighting with my own team members."
Shell: *smiles* "Right."
Lark: "Okay, Reno's gonna sing the Shinra national anthem--"
Everyone else: "WHAT?!"
Lark: *blinks* "What? He volunteered."
Irvine: "First of all, he sucks--"
Tseng: "Second of all, he's probably already drunk--"
Sephiroth: "And finally, most of the people here aren't *in* Shinra or even know what the *hell* it is!"
Lark: *blinks* "....true. But it's too late now." *everyone else sighs* "Anyway, then Laguna will throw out the first pitch, and then I'll read the new rules. Then we play."
Seifer: "Hey! What's our lineup? And who's pitching first, me or loser here?" *points at rude*
Shell: "Don't call Rude a loser!"
Lark: "The starting line up is me, Shell, Squall, Zell, Rude, Sephiroth, Twilight, Tseng, Irvine and Tifa. Seifer, you, Vincent and Cloud will play later."
Seifer: *pouts* "That sucks."
Reno: *stumbling into the dugout* "Hey, everyone! Ready to win? I know I'm ready to sing!"
Tseng: "He's drunk. Told you."
Lark: *frowns* "Reno! We've been here half an hour! How many beers have you had?"
Reno: "Uh...........5?" *holds up 2 fingers*
Lark: *head in her hands* "Oh, crap."
Irvine: "Let me sing the Garden school song instead!" *clears his throat and sings* "At our Garden--"
Zell, Squall and Irvine: *sing* "--we learn to defend the world and--"
Nida: *running in* "Did I hear someone singing the Garden school song!? I love Garden! I drove it, you know!" *everyone glares at him and he frowns, slinking back* "Uh....never mind." *leaves*
Lark: "No! That song sucks, and besides, look what kind of losers it attracts!"
Reno: "Don't worry, Lark! I can do anything drunk, right, Tseng?" *puts an arm around his boss*
Tseng: *makes a face* "Um....sometimes."
Lark: "We don't have a choice. Reno....go.....sing."
Reno: "Yee haw!" *grabs the mic and runs up to the mound*
Sephiroth: "Can I laugh when this sounds like total crap?"
Lark: "No!"
Reno: "Okay, everybody! I'm gonna sing the Shinra national anthem, so get up!"
Rufus: "All right! The best song ever!" *jumps to his feet*
Reeve: *dragging himself up* "Whatever..."
Rufus: "Come on, Bria. Stand up."
Elena: "Yeah, Bria. This is Shinra here."
Bria: "Exactly why I'm not moving."
Rufus, Reeve and Elena: "Hey!"
Bria: "Sorry!"
Reno: *clears his throat and starts to sing* "Oh say can you......uh.....by the mako....um...."
Rufus: "What?! He doesn't know the words!!!"
Reeve: "I don't know them either."
Elena: "But you're not trying to sing it!"
Tseng: "....this is a disgrace."
Lark: "Oh, man! He doesn't even know the words!"
Sephiroth: *laughs quietly to himself* "Hehe...."
Reno: *sings* "Um....Midgar...uh...something else...."
Wu-fei: "You suck!"
Quatre: "Wu-fei, that's not a nice thing to do!"
Heero: "Well he does."
Quatre: "Heero!"
Trowa: "...he does blow, doesn't he?"
Quatre: "Trowa!"
Duo: "Just admit it, Quatre. He sucks."
Quatre: "No! I won't!" *quietly* "Even if I think so."
Treize: "....hmmm...we should have played the OZ anthem...."
Lady Une: *popping out from the dugout in cheerleading uniform* "I'll get the tape, sir, if you want!"
Treize: "No, that's all right, Lady Une."
Lady Une: "All right, but if you change your mind, let me know!"
Reno: *sings* "Uh...oh say does the mako reactor shine brightly, or something like that...for the land of mako and the empire of Shinra!"
Rufus: *sobs* "He messed up my song!"
Reeve: "It's a badly written song anyway."
Reno: "Thank you! Thank you!" *bows, no one claps*
Irvine: "Better stop him now Lark, or he'll start taking requests."
Lark: "Point taken." *she runs out onto the mound* "Uh, great job, Reno. Why don't you go sit down and have another beer?"
Reno: "Great idea! Wonder why I didn't think of it!" *he stumbles back into his seat*
Rufus: "You sucked! You ruined our song and disgraced Shinra!"
Bria: "Rufus, dear, I think most of the people here already hate Shinra or don't know anything about it."
Rufus: "Exactly! He's making us look worse!"
Lark: "Okay, everyone! Before we throw out the first pitch, there are some rules we have to go over, so listen up! Rule number one: No summons or GF's."
Squall: "Still?" *sighs* "Fine. But remember, I have no control over Odin."
Lark: "Number two: No Gundams or mobile suits or mobile dolls of any kind are permitted."
Wu-fei: "That's cause otherwise Nataku would kick everyone's ass!"
Treize: "Baseball played with mobile dolls would not be real baseball. In order for a true game of baseball to be played efficiently it must be done with real people, like war. War is not true war unless it is fought with people. Baseball and war are similar in that aspect. They are also similar because they are both acted out on a field, although war is fought and baseball is played."
Heero: "That's enough, Treize. No one understands what the hell you're talking about."
Treize: "Would you like me to explain it again?"
Everyone else: "No!"
Lark: "For additional rules, you have to look at the notebook, which will be kept in our dugout."
Noin: "Can we see the notebook?"
Lark: "No."
Treize: "Everything needs rules. Even war. Without the rules of war, there can be no winner, just like in baseball, where without rules no winner can be justly determined."
Heero: "Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
Lark: "Okay, we're going to have Laguna, President of Esthar, throw out the first pitch."
Laguna: *comes on field, waving* "Hey, hey, everyone! I'm President of Esthar!"
Squall: "Geez...she just told him that!"
Zell: "Don't diss your father."
Squall: *shudders* "Stop it."
Irvine: "Uh...Zell...aren't you supposed to be *catching* the first pitch?"
Zell: "Oops!" *runs out on field."
(laguna throws the ball pretty poorly and zell catches it)
Kiros: "Ward says you throw like a girl!"
Laguna: *frowns* "Why is Ward always putting me down? Is he still mad at me from when I pushed him off that cliff?"
Lark: "Forget it, Laguna. We're gonna start now! We're up first!"
Shell: "Hey! Who put that sign that says 'for a good time call' up? That's my cell phone number!!"

Jackie: "What's that?"
Lark: "Why is it Lady Une, who's *one* person, is making more noise than the 6 of you?"
Jackie: "Well that's easy. She wants to screw Treize."

Rinoa: "It really is hot out."

Twilight: "Over my dead body!" *starts running for the outfield*
Zechs: "What the hell?!"
Opal: "Twilight, you're cheating!"
Twilight: "I know!"
Lark: "Hm. What do you think, Shell?"
(zechs and treize are both trying to tag twilight who's running around the outfield)
Shell: "Well...this is really *really* illegal. You're not supposed to run out of the basepath."
Heero: "Come on! This is ridiculous!"
Lark: "Okay, fine." *pause* "Replay."
Wu-fei: "Replay?! What the hell is that, woman! He's out!"
Lark: "I'm in charge and I say replay. Twilight, don't do that again or I'll string you up by your skinny little neck."
Twilight: *sighs* "Fine....." *mutters* "Like you could anyway...."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(Sephiroth at bat)
Sephiroth: "I've hit so many homeruns today I can't even count them all!"
Wu-fei: *mutters* "You suck."
(the pitch is made)
Heidegger: "Gya haa haa!"
Sephiroth: *swings and misses* "Hey!!! He distracted me!"
Wu-fei: "Sucks to be you."
Sephiroth: "I'll do it this time."
(the pitch is made)
Heidegger: "Gya haa haa!"
Sephiroth: *swings and misses* "ARGH! HE'S RUINING MY CONCENTRATION!"
Lark: "Come on, Sephy! Hit one for me and the team!"
Sephiroth: "Okay!" *mutters* "If you're involved...."
(the pitch is made)
Heidegger: *extra loud* "GYA HAA HAA!!!"
Sephiroth: *swings and misses*
Wu-fei: "Ha ha! You're out!"
Nida: "Hey, I'm the umpire! You're out, Sephiroth." *runs away*
Sephiroth: *face turns bright red. grips the bat, knuckles turning red* ".....you...broke....my..concentraion..and..made...me STRIKE OUT!" *jumps into the stands and starts chasing heidegger with the bat*
Heidegger: "AHHHHHHHGYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!"
Sephiroth: "I'll bash you good!"
Shell: "Aren't you going to stop this, Lark?"
Lark: "Let the man bash, Shell. Let the man bash."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(heero's up to bat. seifer pitches)
Nida: "Ball 3!"
Seifer: *whines* "It's not fair, Lark! These guys are so short they have no strike zone!"
Heero: "Size isn't everything."
Shell: "I don't know, Seifer. Rude wasn't having a problem. Maybe he's just a better pitcher than you."
Seifer: *frowns* "Never mind." *mutters* "Stupid Rude...."

(shell's cell phone rings)
Shell: "If that's Nida again....." *picks up* "...hello?"
????: "Hello? I'd like a good time!"
Shell: Ew!!! Is this you, Hojo?"
Hojo: "Uh.....no!"
Shell: "Ew! No! I'm hanging up!"
Hojo: "Uh, wait! Can I at least talk to my son?"
Shell: *makes disgusted face* "Um....I guess." *covers mouthpiece* "Sephiroth, phone call!"
Sephiroth: *takes the phone* "Sephiroth here."
Hojo: "Hi, son!"
Sephiroth: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" *drops the phone and runs away*
(10 minutes later.....)
Heero: "Come on! We want to get back to the game!"
Shell: "Um....Lark is trying to get Sephiroth back."
(in the locker room, sephiroth is crouched in the corner, knees to his chest, rocking back and forth. lark's kneeling next to him, stroking his hair)
Lark: "Aw! My poor Sephy!! I know you hate Hojo!"
Sephiroth: *shudders* "That name...."
Lark: "Oops! Sorry." *frowns* "Come on, honey. You can't let that skevy, disgusting, perverted rat trap of a guy get to you! We can't win this game without you!"
Sephiroth: *small voice* "Really?"
Lark: "Yes!" *quietly* "Don't tell anyone I said this, but I think you're the best player."
Sephiroth: *eyes light up* "Really? Even after I struck out?"
Lark: "That was Heidegger's fault. Besides the bashing you gave him made up for it."
Sephiroth: *proudly* "I did bash him good, didn't I."
Lark: "Now come on. Let's kick some Gundam butt!"
Sephiroth: "Yeah!" *pause* "Thanks, woman. But I didn't really need that."
Lark: "Right...."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lark: "Okay, before we start again I have to yell at the cheerleaders."
Rinoa: "Oh no."
Quistis: "Here it comes."
Lark: *smiles* "Hello, girls. I haven't heard much cheering coming from over here."
Michelle: "We were cheering!"
Jackie: "Just really quietly. We didn't want to disturb the game like Heidegger did."
Yuffie: "Is he alive?"
Lark: "He's fine! Anyway, I better hear some cheering coming out of you guys or you'll be hanging out with Heidegger and his reject pals for the week! Got it!"
Girls: *gulp* "Yes."
(lark leaves)
Rinoa: "We bettter think of something...."

Heero: "No! Quatre!"
Irvine: *safe at first* "Yee haw!"

Sephiroth: "Oh my god!" *turns away*
Quatre: "What is everyone looking at?" *looks and passes out*

Lark: "Well the game has been taken to a new low."
Rude: ".....I don't know him."
Reeve: "*Now* Rufus he has disgraced the company." *no answer* "Rufus?"
Rufus: *banging his head against the seat in front of him* "This is the worst day of my life."
