2. Warming Up
2. Warming Up
(On the field)
Stretching her arms out to touch her toes the honey-blonde woman smiles at her teammate, Sarah as the tall brunette says, “So, we’ve gotten in four practices, two of which were spent teaching some of these women simply how to hold a bat, and the other two we spent teaching them all how to swing, catch, throw and run. What are the odds of this game being a “shut-out”…in favor of the other team, eh Tar?”
Shaking her head at her friend’s typically sarcastic nature, Tara stands to begin warming up her pitching arm saying, “You know as well as I that the other team is just as inexperienced as we are, Sar. I think we have a very good chance of winning today. Plus, regardless of a win we’ll still be partying at the Bronze tonight, so who cares, right?”
Laughing with an enthusiastic nod, the tall catcher walks a distance to catch for the Wicca/pitcher, as Tara looks toward the stands catching sight of her ex-girlfriend and Buffy, who look to be checking out the other team. Knowing they haven’t seen her yet, Tara chuckles thinking “Wait ‘til they get a load of me on the pitcher’s mound. Damn, I’d love to see the look on their faces.”
Taking a stance as Sarah squats and calls pitches to her, Tara eyes her friend’s mitt, readies the ball in her own, pulls her arm back and launches the ball with unerring precision into Sarah’s waiting hand.
They continue to practice until the umpire calls for the UCS Smackers to take the field, then jog out with Sarah calling out, “Let’s do this Smackers!”
(Up in the stands)
Cheering as the “Smackers” take the field, Buffy sits back down with Willow saying, Well, they look good in their uniforms, now let’s see if they can play, hmm?”
Turning to look at her non-responsive friend, Buffy sees why Willow hasn’t said anything as she follows her opened-mouth stare toward the pitcher’s mound.
Eyebrows rising as she recognizes Tara, their shy, quiet, non-athletic friend poised to throw the first pitch, Buffy grunts, “Huh.” as Willow simply sits with a dazed expression on her face.
Finally snapping out of her shock at seeing Tara playing softball as she hears, “Strike one!”, Willow turns to Buffy asking, “You do see what I am seeing, right Buff?” Nodding her head the Slayer confirms, “Yup, and it looks like see knows what she’s doing, too.” as the second pitch is called, “Strike two!”
Watching as the batter connects with the third pitch and it pops straight up into the air between, home base and Tara, they hear her call out in a very unTaralike voice, “I’ve got it!” as she proceeds to get under it and snatch it out of the air.
Jumping up to applaud with the rest of the small UCS crowd, the two friend whistle and call out, “Way to go Tara!” causing the woman to glance up at them with a radiant smile as she tips her cap with a wink.
Shaking their heads at Tara’s newfound confidence and obvious skill both Buffy and Willow sit back down, their thoughts similar in appreciating just how well Tara’s uniform fits. One hoping she can keep from drooling and embarrassing herself and the other hoping her friend doesn’t catch her ogling her ex-girlfriend.
