Jack stood off to the side of the alleyway waiting for the other boys to arrive. He was actually excited about playing ball for the afternoon. He hadn't done this in God knows how long and was looking forward to it. He'd brushed the dust off his glove and was ready to go.

Pie finally dragged himself out to the alleyway a few minutes later, a battered, worn-looking bat under one arm. He adjusted his kerchief and gave Jack a smirk as he spotted him. "Hey, Cowboy. Ready for the game?"

"I am more than ready! I can't wait to get started. Know who else is gonna play?" he asked.

"Eli and Bumlets, I heard 'em both say they were comin'." Pie settled his cap on his head then smirked. "Snipe's been practicin' all morning. He's determined not to get his ass kicked this time."

Jack laughed, "Well when they get here we'll draw teams and get started."

"We're drawing teams already," Bumlets asked as he walked up-- broomstick in hand as he moved over and dropped down to sit on a crate. "Haven't played this in awhile.."

Pie laughed as he saw the old broomstick -- thankfully the broom portion seemed to be gone. "You gonna sweep the field, Bums, or play ball on it?" he teased as he tapped the broomstick with his sad-looking bat.

Bumlets gave his friend a salute with his broomstick, he carried it everywhere. "Money that this thing-- beats that sorry looking thing anytime."

Jack smiled watching the other two boys. He leaned against the side of the building waiting for others to show.

"If I had any money, Bums, I'd put it on my bat before that sad little stick," Pie shot back with a chuckle.

Pie gave a good-natured chuckle and nudged Bumlets. "All right, all right. Truce?"

Bumlets chuckled and stuck out his hand with a nod, they were always going to banter but it was all in fun. "Truce. Where's everyone else?"
