Pizza and Sluggers
Vi just got out of prison and Powder is already moping. The Trenchers, the Zaunte Softball team lost their game last night to “Piltover’s Finest”. Pow says they have lost every game this season, and all hope is lost for them.
“Ya know, we could use someone to play shortstop, Mylo is great, but he’s better in right field if you’re catching my drift,” Powder says
Vi is fresh out of prison, and Powder is trying to recruit her.
Halfway through her 6th slice from Jericho’s pizza, which she demanded that they order, Vi says with a mouth full of food, “You can’t push people back to the outer field because you think that they’re bad ya know”
Powder grunts as she plays with her food, she is the pitcher, and a good one at that.
“We would have won the first round of the playoffs if the fuckin Piltie Pitcher wasn’t a fukin sniper ass bitch with a vendetta, you would think that she would be bad because she’s all legs and stringy ass arms but nope, it’s like she was crafted to be a pitcher!”
Vi is suddenly interested in this pitcher because she’s got a thing for legs.
“You know what, I think I might try this whole softball thing out, lesbians are amazing at softball, how hard could it be?”

Turns out softball is hard, Vander is currently teaching her how to bunt because she can’t hit the ball to save her life. She’s pretty good at catching it, though, so she is placed in left field because “she has to earn her spot in shortstop because that’s how things go,” according to Vander.
Vi is resting in the dugout with her visor over her face, even though it’s not a great head coverer. Claggor, her foster brother is trying to teach her how to bat, but she’s more interested in taking a load off.
Sevika is the first baseman, and she is not a fan of Vi. Vi thinks that’s rich coming from a lady with one arm, but Sevika quickly proves her wrong when she throws a softball at the dugout fence, scaring Vi so badly that she falls off the bench into the red sand, staining her grey practice uniform that makes her butt look phenomenal thank you.
“WHAT YOUR DEAL, YOU GOT A RAT UP YOUR ASS OR SOMETHING?!?” Vi shouts at Sevika.
“Get your head in the game you brat, Claggs trying to teach you something but you-“
Vander cuts her off before it escalates into something worse, “We have a Scrimmage with Piltovers finest in a week, let’s get our act together and start practicing shall we?”
Vander and Silco are the two coaches, but Silco is the pitcher coach, so Pow can focus more on pitching. She’s over in right field throwing spitballs in a net with a hat that’s too big for her tiny head, while Silco has his notepad out.
They hired Silco because he’s a family friend, and they want to win this season because duh. Silco used to be the pitcher for the Trenchers back in the day before he lost all vision in one of his eyes, and Vander was the respectable Catcher, but he became a coach not long after Silco left.
Claggor finally gets through to Vi, and she hits one singular ball out of the park and she thinks that she’s hot shit. Claggs the catcher now, taking after his foster dad’s coach in what he does best.
As the game approaches, Vi gets better, and before you know it, she earns her spot at shortstop and Mylo gets bumped up to second baseman.
At dinner, Vi, Powder, Mylo, and Claggor are sitting around a beat-up dining room table with Vander. Vander took them all under his wing some odd years ago, and now they are preparing for their upcoming scrimmage tomorrow.
“Why am I eating a fucking vegetable, who put a vegetable in my sandwich!?!” Mylo pries.
“Number one it’s good for you and number two, we have to start eating better this season if we want to win,” Vander says, his voice radiating with ease.
“There’s no protein in this!” Mylo declares.
“There is in mine, mmm ham and pepperoni!” Powder squeaks.
As a meatball falls out of Vi’s sub, she says “You ordered a no-meat sandwich you dweeb of course there’s going to be fucking vegetables in it”
They eat the rest of their meals in silence. Mylo is very upset at his sandwich choices.

The red sand is brushed off of the pitcher’s plate. Caitlyn is a perfectionist, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Jayce shouts from the home base, “Let’s go, Sprout! Throw me a sniper’s curveball!”
Caitlyn does so with ease, rubbing her shoulder for good measure, Jayce and Caitlyn are the Pitcher/Catcher Duo, and they are the best at what they do according to Grayson as their coach.
Viktor, the team doctor, is rubbing Mel’s shoulders, preparing her for her rightful place at first base, Jayce throws a wink at the both of them, and they both blush accordingly. They are in a thruple, and they are happy.
The Trenchers Roll in and they start practicing, Powder shoots the most menacing glare at Caitlyn, and Caitlyn puts on a brave friendly smile and waves.
Because they are the away team, the Trenchers are the first up to bat. Caitlyn puts on her game face, when a new face appears, one with pink hair sticking out of her helmet, and Muscles out of this world protruding from her shirt. Tattoos on her neck and arms poke through, and a small 6 in Roman numerals under her eye. She also has a killer butt that is out of this world and feels illegal.
Caitlyn is distracted, to say the least, and when Jayce snaps her out of it, she throws the ball and hears a clack from the mysterious hot girl’s bat. Caitlyn watches the ball fly over the fence, and facepalms, she can’t be distracted, not like this.

Vi hits it out of the park; The Piltie pitcher is not as intimidating as Pow told her she would be. She practically skips around all three bases and wins the first Point for the Trenchers.
Vi, along with her newly inflated ego, skips into the dugout, everyone has their jaws on the floor respectively, Sevika says “What the actual fuck was that.”
Vi is so confused, Pow says that she has to be off her game because what the fuck, but as soon as Sevika goes up to bat, she strikes out respectively.
They end up losing 2-1 with Vi being the only point, but they have improved. Vander treats them to Jericho’s Pizza as a treat, Vi eats an entire pizza by herself. Life is good… for now.
