"You know theres very little time left before school starts," murmured Fido "I want to do something this summer on this planet something that we'll treasure in our minds forever." "like what?" asked Corky "A baseball game'll be swell," said Fido wagging his tail excitetly I can see it now us agianst The Nuclear Neptunes cool idea huh?" "Yeh" replied Corky "but what will the other guys think?" "What will the other guys think of what?" asked Hermy who had just walked up the path that led to the steps. "Starting our own base ball team!" barked Fido merrily. "Neato Weato Zowy Wowy!" exclaimed Hermy "Let's call the others and tell them."

Chapter fifteen Warmup

"Yo! dudes and dudetts look at my radically awsome base ball threads don't you dig?" "Dig? Fido didn't say any thing about digging I thought we here to play baseball not digging" whimpered Hermy "No no no dude when I said 'do you dig' I meant don't you dudicully like my radically ausome baseball uniform?" asked Viper "Well" said Hermy studying the white bleached uniform with VIPER printed on the front of the shirt it was printed in sparkley gold colors and underneath his name was a hovercycle on the back of his shirt had the same name and hovercycle as the front did. "Let's get started" said Tinker Bell breaking the silence. Since Hermy was first up at bat everyone relaxed because everyone knew he was probably the best little leauger since Baby Ruth unfortunly Baby Binge Buster was going to pitch.

"STRIKE ONE!!" screamed Tinker Bell after Hermy swung the bat and missed Viper caught the ball with his old worn baseball glove. Viper threw the cork ball back at Baby Binge Buster. "Make nuclear metal talk!" called Hermy Baby B.B. positioned himself and threw the ball as hard and as fast as he could THUNK went the ball agianst the bat and it flew over all seven of the aliens heads and landed amongst the seats which surrouned the ball park!

Chapter sixteen Surprise!

"Were'd it go?" asked Viper straining his eyes to see better suddenly the ball came flying out of the baseball park seats and thunked Fido on the head which caused to fall backward and fall on the ground with a thud. At once his six shocked freinds fell to there knees and examned Fido for any broken bones. "I'm fine," he finally said after lying helplessly on the ground for nearly four minutes. "Are you okay?" questioned Corky once he was sure he could talk "I'll be better" he said rising to his feet and dusting off his uniform "when" he continued "I find out who tried to kill me!" "We're terribly sorry" said squeaky vioce. "You know" said Tinker Bell "That vioce sounds familier." Right after Tinker Bell had spoken two heads poked out of the seats "Tinkle Winkle!" exclaimed Tinker Bell rushing toward Tinkle and Winkle. "What are you doing

here?" "Who are you?" asked Fido rubbing his head were the ball had hit him. "Were Tinkle Bell and Winkle Bell you can call us Tinkle and Winkle were Tinker Bell's cousins and we moved into Bossy Bessy's house," said Twinkle grinning. Winkle her brother nodded in agreement.

Chapter seventeen A new coach for a new team

After discovering Twinkle and Winkle they made them part of the baseball team afterall, they needed all the aliens they could.

It was a usual day at The Carrot residence until the phone rang, "Carrot residence Corky speaking," said Corky speaking into the reciever "Hello," said a voice on the other end of the line "My name is Sentron I was looking for something that I lost in the bleachers and I watched you play baseball your great!" "Really!" exclaimed Corky shifting from one foot to other "Hey" frowned Corky "Were'd you get my phone number?" "I asked one of your friends for it and if your excited about that theres still more to tell. I thought you guys were so good your guys vs. The pluto panthers!


[page 31]

"Your kidding!" exclaimed Corky now more excited then ever. "No I'm not kidding," said Sentron "And I'll be your coach unless you already have one." "No we don't have a coach and yes It'll be a pleasure to have you as a coach."

It took more practice then any of the aliens suspected but it really payed off one day when the tall, muscular, flexible coach anounced with excitement that the Pluto Panthers coach had challenged The Cool Cougers (That was there teams name) to a baseball game in three weeks.

Chapter Eighteen Go Baby B.B. Go!

During those three weeks The Cool Cougers worked long and hard they even ate there lunch in the ball park. Finnally the day of the big day came and the bleachers were overflowing with people. "And welcome to Speariment field ladys, gentlemen, and base ball fans. Today we've got an exciting game to watch we've got the planets famous "PLUTO PANTHERS YAY!" a humungus roar aroused from the bleachers. "verses The COOL COUGERS YAY" again the applause aroused heavily. First came the warm up then Fido was up at bat "Fido is up at bat and Porthole throws Fido smashes the ball out to left field he runs to first base, to second base to third base and slides to home plate and its a home run! which gives The Cool Cougers 1 point!" As the game wore on there were home runs left and right but it seemed the Pluto Panthers were always ahead untill...


[page 33]

Baby B.B. stepped up to to the plate he missed the first ball and he missed the second ball but when he swung at the third ball he struck and bat gave off a cracking sound when the ball hit it and when it bounced off the bat it seemed Baby B.B. was heading for second base already suddenly Baby B.B. heard Sentron and the rest of his team mates chanting Go Baby B.B. Go Baby B.B. Go Baby B.B. GO Baby Go. and before Baby Binge Buster knew what he was doing he hurled himself through the air and did a belly flop on the ground and slid till he hit home base. "And The Cool Cougers won Yay!" cried the announcer spitting and gabbering into the microphone.
