I apologize for butchering baseball because I know some people like it. I'm not a sports person but I spent a good few hours researching baseball so I at least knew enough to write about it. I wanted to do a baseball scene because I thought the first baseball scene in Steven Universe was pretty cool. I'm still not 100% accurate on a lot of baseball rules and stuff but I'm trying my best to have everything make sense....like scoring for instance. Have you ever seen the way they score baseball? It's sort of confusing but I'll  make it work. I didn't want any of this to be serious because it's a friendly baseball game not a real one.

Third Person P.O.V.

Greg gave (Y/n) a confident nod before the rest of the team backed away to give him room to bat. Greg was sweating. The beads rolled down the sides of his face. Greg was nervous and he didn't want to be the one to cost his team the game even if it was just a friendly game and no one would be mad at him if he was the reason they lost. He still kept (Y/n)'s pep talk in his mind as the holo Pearl began to pull back her arm and threw a clean pitch towards Greg. Greg swung too low and missed the ball.

Garnet: Strike One!

 Garnet called. On the second pitch, he also missed the ball when he swung too hard and lost his balance and lost the bat.

Garnet: Foul and strike two!

On the third pitch, Greg had struck out and he seemed disappointed. He lazily let go of the bat as it landed in the dirt.

Greg: Who knew that hitting a ball was this hard.

(Y/n): You just need practice. We'll work on it.

(Y/n) said. Trying to make him feel better.

(Y/n): Your up Pearl.

Pearl lightly sauntered on over at the plate. She fell fairly sure of her abilities and though (Y/n) had not known Pearl long, just hearing her voice told him everything about her. He could tell that Pearl was someone who strived for perfection and nothing less and he was right because Pearl hit the second home run of the game. She could basically predict her own holo Pearls movements and calculated the angle of it's throw and hitting it's pitch spot on. Pearl took he time sauntering around the field.

Peridot: They have two home runs in a row and we don't. Sigh, I think I may have miscalculated our rate of winning.

Steven: It's alright if we lose Peridot. What matters is we had fun.

Steven said and Pumpkin barked in agreement.

Amethyst: We still have time. Look, I'll do the next pitch, trust me on this.

Amethyst said before giving the pitching holo Pearl a break.

Amethyst: You sure you can swing dude?

Amethyst called out at (Y/n).

(Y/n): I don't need t see the ball, I just need to hear it.

(Y/n) said assumingly.

 Amethyst was chewing  s piece of gum, blowing a fairly large bubble before it popped. She gave (Y/n) a stern look as he went up to the plate. She could see his eyes, only his playful smirk and the light reflecting off of his dark shades. Amethyst spit out her gum and gripped the baseball as if she was going to throw it but didn't. Instead she dropped it beside her. She shifted into a baseball and launching herself towards (Y/n) who let her pass without swinging.

Garnet: Strike One!

Garnet roared before whispering to (Y/n).

Garnet: You had a clean hit you know.

(Y/n): Yeah I know.

Amethyst: Throw me back Garnet.

Amethyst's muffled voice said inside of Garnet's glove before Garnet launched her back to the pitcher's mound.

(Y/n) said simply before preparing for Amethyst's second pitch which was even faster than the first one and once again (Y/n) did not swing.

Garnet: Strike two

Amethyst: It's not fun if you let us win dude.

Amethyst teased playfully. before Garnet Launched her back toward the pitcher's mound a second time.

Amethyst: This was easy.

Amethyst said before shapeshifting into the pitching ball once again.

Beneath (Y/n)'s black shades, his eyes were closed. With each successful strike, Amethyst was growing anxious and when she was anxious she talked more and more. (Y/n) was planning on that from the start. Amethyst talked more when she was being thrown and got closer to (Y/n). Her pitches were fast but ultimately loud which was good on his part. In his mind he was trying to gain information, with such little learned he had accomplished a lot without many realizing t. He could now intercept the speed of Amethyst and calculate the angle of her throw. He was drawing his perceived image of this in his mind and by the third pitch, he'd be able to hit the ball.

In a slow motion, (Y/n) had blanked out every unnecessary sound, including Connie's cheers, Pumpkins barks and Greg strumming his guitar while he waited for his turn. All he was focused on was Amethyst. He knew she was already air born and coming his way. He could hear the whooshing sound of the air as Amethyst cut through it in her ball form and the closer she came, the louder she was until she was met with the hard end of a wooden ball.

Amethyst's screams were heard as she went soaring toward Connie.

Garnet: Fly Ball!

Garnet warned. Connie managed to catch Amethyst's ball form before she transformed onto her normal self. She struggle to steady herself from the dizziness.

Amethyst: That was a really hard hit.

Amethyst said as she held her head.

Connie: And I caught my first baseball. Too bad I can't keep you.

Connie laughed.

Meanwhile, a third home run was scored my (Y/n). With both teams having a turn, Connie called for a mandatory break and every human came in for refreshments while the gems hung about. Connie took her job as water girl really seriously and rushed around with bottles of waters and towels. When Peridot's team had regrouped, she began coming up with more strategies for her team.

Peridot: (Y/n) is way more organized than I thought. His team has accumulated a large lead and if we don't do something we'll never be able to catch up but I have a back up plan.

Meanwhile.....

Pearl: You know she's plotting against us right.

Pearl said amusingly.

Lapis: Let her. It makes her feel better.

(Y/n): You know what I've noticed? Our team has all the tall people.

(Y/n) said before his team erupted into a wave of laughter.

Greg: Your right.

Peridot: Quiet, we're trying to plot over here- I mean strategize.
