Nevermind, though cuz... SHE KNEW THIS ONE!

"Ruuuuuun!" Ellie said, quite loudly in her excitement. But. It's true. They did run. She sawwww it on her grandpa's tv.

Quite surprised by how much that little girl could raise her voice, Jeremy turned to blink at her a few times before starting to grin down at her. "Yes, short and sweet, but nonetheless correct. The batter would run." After throwing the bat away of course.

Patroclus listened to the next question, taking mental notes of what the others were saving. "The batter runs, and then does a huge dive-slide where they just make it to the cushion and the crowd goes wild!" Yep yep, they do! "And the Fielders, run around with their Engorgio'ed hands in the air and try and catch the ball!"

Thats what happened in movies anyway.

The boy seemed to doubt the accuracy of his answer concerning the Strike Ten. Well, there wasn't a Strike Ten as much as the boy liked to believe that. Sorry, pal.

"Correct." Ish. "Though, he doesn't have to do a 'huge dive-slide.'" He air-quoted the words, an amused grin plastered across his face. "It's more interesting to watch though, if he does." He added with a wink before moving on to the second part of the boy's answer. "True, but remember, this is a Muggle sport we're talking about." Duh, obviously. "So, their hands aren't engorgio'ed. They are wearing gloves. Gloves like this one." At this he bent down slightly to retrieve a baseball glove from a box under his desk and held it up for everybody to see.

He couldn't help but grin back at Trent when the girl came up with yet another creative answer. "Yes, Trent. Absolutely correct. Though, what do they do to prove that?" Because that was actually the question at hand. What were they allowed to do now after proving that they 'were better than the batters that suck'?

Frowning, she thought about it for a few seconds as she stared at the professor ZooKeeper with narrowed eyes, thinking it over...thinking... "Everyone, but himself." Or herself. DUH!

Obviously the empire dude(ette) would totally rule the place! They had the POWER in their hands and words!

Shew as so lost right now, it wasn't even worth taking notes on. When was she going to be playing baseball anyways!?

And it did not cross her mind at the moment that they might be playing it in class today.

Twirling her quill an staring at it boredly as she kept her ears open for what the Professor was saying, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly through her nose as she spoke the first thing she thought. "The batter...runs home." Right?

Evelyn...thought she read that. It was awhile ago though that she read the book. Right before she heard that Lawson was leaving. "Sucks for those who live far away though..."

The Umpire would say 'you fail' to everybody but himself? Interesting answer. "Riiiiight." Unless it wasn't. Right. But a professional Umpire wasn't going to say that in the first place. Okay, he might but not out loud. So, he might think it but not actually say it. Whatever.

Even though, Evelyn's answer was absolutely correct, the way she worded it made Jeremy assume she hadn't actually grasped the difference between the two 'homes'. As in 'home', your house, where you live, Home, Sweet Home and all that stuff. And on the other hand 'Home Base'. "Yes, they try to run home. Or rather they try to reach the Home Base. If they manage to do that before the Fielding Team brings the ball back it's called a Home Run." Trying hard not to burst out laughing at the girl's muttered addition, Jeremy settled with a small chuckle instead.

Yes, that sucked.

She knew about people eating peanuts at phaseball games, and walnuts were sorta the same thing.

As Professor Zooballon turned around, Destiny took a step away from him, hand still in the air. Jeez, he was getting awfully close. Slowly lowering her arm, she blinked back at him before answering the question that had such an obvious answer, "Well, if the batter person failed to hit the ball, they had to hit something..or someone, right? That someone being the referee person. If you got hit with a bat, you'd say that hurts, too."

She would demonstrate if need be.

Oooh!

Destiny did NOT know these answers, but not knowing never stopped her from answering a question before. She raised her hand, still not moving from the front of the class. She was starting to like it up there..except having to look at Arya. If she was the Professor, the Raccoon Girl would be banished from class. "If the batter person hits the ball, they have to run around in a big circle.." Or diamond, but Destiny didn't know that. "And the fielding people have to get to the ball before the dogs come and want to play fetch."

And with that, she lowered her hand and finally went back to her seat.

Her legs were tired.

Awkward much? Oh, but she explained her answer. And somehow it made perfect sense. In Destiny's eyes. So, in reality it didn't actually make sense but who was she to know. "True...if I were hit with a bat then I would say 'that hurts' too." He wasn't going to demonstrate that...or have anybody demonstrate it. It was obvious it would hurt.

"However, if the batter failed to hit the ball then he normally doesn't hit anything and if he were to hit somebody then it would probably be the Catcher." Though, of course it could hit the Umpire too. If he wasn't paying attention and leaning in and...okay, it normally didn't hit the Umpire...and the Catcher either. It just hit the air.

It was only then that Jeremy actually realized that Destiny was STILL standing in the front of the classroom, right in front of his desk, even partly blocking his view. Nonetheless, her answer was correct. Partly anyhow. "True, if he hits the ball then he has to run...unless the ball is out." Grinning at the second part of her answer, he nodded slowly. "Well, it's hardly likely that dogs come running onto a baseball field." Though, it probably HAD happened. "So, that's not the actual reason the Fielding Team players hurry to retrieve the ball." He was going to explain that in just a second.

Oh, and Ms. Walnut!Cracker was going back to her seat. Good, now he could actually SEE his class again.

"I assume you have all taken down notes of what your classmates have said." It wasn't exactly very useful if he repeated it all, it would probably just bore them. But there was one thing he wanted to focus on. "Some of you mentioned the so-called 'Fly Out'. This is when one of the Fielding Team players catch the ball directly out of the air without anybody touching it after the batter has hit it with his bat. If this happens then the batter is out. Also, if any of the Batting Team players aren't 'safe' at the moment the fielder catches the ball they are also out. To be 'safe' in this case means that they are currently standing on one of the bases." To put it easily understandably.

After a short pause he added with a small smirk, "So, now, after probably confusing the heck out of you, I'll conclude this part of the lesson with an easy question. Name ONE famous Baseball Team each. Only one per person please." And while they were doing that he could quickly finish up the preparations for the practical part of the lessons. "Unless, there are any more questions." There probably were...somehow this lesson hadn't gone as well-structured as he had hoped it would. Oh, well.
