Drabble

Drabble for [livejournal.com profile] open_on_sunday's "Strike" challenge. Complete with icon - had to make one for this.



For the Home Team

For a few seconds, everything was still. The small crowd mumbled in surprise, the pitcher stared with her mouth hanging open, and the girl herself just looked at the bat, all thoughts of running for first base forgotten.

Finally the umpire spoke up. "Uh... strike two?"

"Whaddyamean 'strike'?" Her father flew up, furious. "She clearly HIT the ball! How is that a strike?"

The umpire pulled out his rule book and searched frantically for the correct call for "ball disintegrates into smithereens upon being hit".

Katie kept staring at the bat, turning it over in her hands. It felt... good.

Hehe! The little girl, I love her. Great job. And it should be a home run.

Woohoo! That was a nifty scene.

Though I always figured the bat would break instead. I'm not sure which is more likely. May depend on the material.

Hee! I love this. That girl would be one amazing Slayer, now I'm wondering if anyone's written her story...

Awesome! I in my infinite power (heh!) proclaim this CANON! :D

That last sentence made me sigh. Great drabble, both funny and sigh-worthy!

I love this. I've always wondered about the exact moment when all these girls got their power-- must have been lots of weird happenings. Mind if I snag the icon?

Greatest prompt connection ever!

Just found this. Fabulous! What a great idea :-) I'm glad someone noticed the other Slayers.

Actually, now that I think about it, I thought it just sent the ball flying out of the park... into another county.
