Nationals vs. Braves ;; Jasper

[Edward Cullen]

Toms out who’s next
Swing batter batter swing batter batter swing batter batter swing
Swing batter batter swing batter batter swing batter batter swing
Swing batter batter swing batter batter swing batter batter swing
Swing batter batter swing batter batter swing batter batter swing
Swing it now
Everybody strikes out nine times out of ten
But you got to step up to the plate son ‘cause every now and then

(Fast ball)
She walked right up to me
(Here’s the pitch)
*SMACK*
Said could I take you home
(Theirs a drive)
Hey boys I’ll see you later
(It could be, it...it is!)
Goin’ goin’ goin’ gone
(Swing batter batter swing batter batter swing batter batter swing)

Edward was listening to the radio one day when he was driving in the Volvo. If you are caller nine then you could win two tickets to see the Washington Nationals play the Atlanta Braves! Edward hasn’t been to a baseball game in a long time. He thought that it sounded like a good idea to go to the game. Edward then got out his cell phone and called the radio station’s number; he had to wait a few seconds until someone came on the other end of the phone. Hello? Hello. Edward could hear his voice echo in the radio. You are caller number nine! Yes! You just won two tickets to the National’s VS. the Braves. How do you feel about that? Well, I’m very happy, I haven’t been to a baseball game in forever. The man on the other end of the phone said ‘congratulations’ and hung up the phone. Another voice came on, he told Edward that the tickets would be coming in the mail soon. Ok, thank you. Edward told him then hung up the phone.

He thought of who he could take. Emmett, Bella, Jasper, Alice, Rose? He didn’t think that Alice or Rosalie would like to go to a baseball game. Bella wouldn’t care, as long as she was with Edward. But he didn’t want to drag her there and make her sit and watch it, he knew it wouldn’t be fun for her. Then there was Emmett, Emmett was very competitive; Edward didn’t feel like betting on this game. He just wanted to go and have fun. Last but not least Jasper; Jasper liked to bet but he wasn’t like Emmett. He didn’t have to bet on every game. Edward made up his mind; he was going to ask Jasper to go with him. Edward parked the Volvo in front of the Cullen house. He walked in to see that Jasper sitting on the couch with Alice.

Jasper, I just won two tickets to see the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves. And I was wondering if you would like to go see the game with me? Alice was sleeping in his arms so he just nodded; he didn’t want to wake her. Edward nodded also and then walked out of the house. He walked to the cottage to tell Bella that he won. He walked in the cottage and she was sitting on the couch watching TV. He walked in and picked her up from the back of the couch. He gave her a passionate kiss before he sat down with her in his arms. I was listening to the radio on my way home. And they said that if you were caller nine then you would win to tickets to see the Nationals play the Braves. So I called just for the heck of it. That’s great Edward! Who are you going to take? I’m going to take Jasper. Ok that sound’s like a great idea. You never do anything with Jasper. Yes I know, that’s why I asked him. He was happy that she didn’t care that he was going. She could spend the day with Alice or Rosalie.

He was just holding her on his lap now. He leaned down to kiss her head. She looked up and smiled at him. They sat there just watching TV. She looked up at him again and asked, when is the game? The game is in two days. The tickets should be coming tomorrow. He said smiling down at her again. Before he knew it was morning; they fell asleep on the couch again.[/Blockquote]

[Jasper Hale]

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack
I don't care if I never get back
For it's root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes
You're out at the old ballgame!

Jasper was sitting with Alice on the couch. They were having a talk about the kids. Well I say we send Jacks to Northwest. It’s close and has good options for athletics. I know it’s a boarding school but Anna is transferring there and then we can have one less kid in the house. Alice frowned at him as he pulled out a brochure. They flipped through it and many others but ultimately decided that if he was going anywhere it was going to be Northwest. It had the best opportunities, tuition, housing, and curriculum. After that Alice opened a magazine and flipped through pages and pages of kids clothes. He put his feet up and she leaned against his chest and fell asleep. Edward walked in and asked if he wanted to go to a baseball game, of course he would go. He desperately needed a day away from the kids and chaos. Edward left the room to go to the cottage no doubt and he decided that taking Alice to a bed was a good idea. Without jostling her he carried her upstairs to their bed. He laid her down and pulled the blankets around them both. Her eyes fluttered and she opened them. Hi honey. I’m going to a baseball game with Edward in two days. Ok Jazzy, she said half asleep still. He laughed quietly to himself and then began to hum. She cuddled into his arms and fell asleep again. He let his mind wander to what would happen at the game. Maybe their team would actually win. It was possible. He hadn’t been to a game in so long; this would be a treat and he was going with Edward so there wouldn’t be a bet like with Emmett. Emmett…why wasn’t Edward taking him? Emmett would not be happy when he found out Jazz was going. Oh well. Alice whispered his name in her sleep and he had to smile, in a way they were like Edward and Bella but still different. This game was going to be a blast.
