the two woke up incredibly tired. although they wanted to, they couldn't lay in bed all day.
vanessa had received about 50 texts from mookie, all saying some form of 'are you up?' and 'we're leaving in 10', and so had trea. vanessa forgot to set her alarm. the dodgers were supposed to go out to breakfast at 10:30, and by the time trea and vanessa woke up, it was already 10:15.
"trea. trea!" she shook the boy next to her. he slowly opened his eyes and smiled.
"hi," he said.
"we have to go, we're leaving in 15 minutes." vanessa said pulling him out of bed.
"oh shit"
the two had to get ready as fast as they could, and that wasn't that fast, because they we're both really slow at getting ready. they managed to scramble out the door in about 12 minutes, leaving them little time to get downstairs.
trea knew that they wouldn't wait for him, but they might wait for vanessa.
"is it faster if we just take the stairs?" vanessa asked as they speed walked down the hallway.
"ill race you." he said smirking.
"you're on,"
"if i win, you have to buy me lunch."
"okay, and if i win, you have to take me out" vanessa suggested with a smile. trea laughed and shook her hand
the two ran down the rest of the hallway and got to the stairs. they flew down, and trea jumped off about halfway through the staircase.
"hey! we need those knees!" she joked as he landed and continued running. he got to the bottom an opened the door.
"hah!" he said smugly.
"wrong door!" she yelled as she continued to run down the stairs.
"shit!"
"hah! i win, and you have to take me out!" vanessa said, standing in front of the door to the lobby.
"i would've anyways." trea laughed. she smiled at him and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. he pulled her back in and kissed her on the lips.
the lobby was filled with the dodgers, who all looked really impatient.
"nice of you to show up." said max, looking down at his watch.
"my alarm didn't go off!" vanessa explained.
"what's your excuse trea?" said chris. trea hadn't told anyone that they were sharing a room.
"he wanted me to come in and wake him up." vanessa replied quickly, knowing that he didn't have a good excuse.
"it doesn't matter, lets just go." dave said, taking the boys outside.
vanessa walked up to gavin, who was texting someone on his phone.
"who's that?" she asked at they walked out.
"cami." he said finishing his message and putting his phone away.
"how's that going?"
"good,"
"any word on an official yet?" she questioned.
"nothing yet, i just wanna take things slow. she's amazing, i don't wanna lose her" gavin replied.
"good. and the fact that i would absolutely destroy you."
"yes, that too."
vanessa looked around to make sure no one was close enough to hear their conversation.
"look, i gotta tell you something. and you can't tell anyone at all."
"whats up?" asked gavin, looking at the blonde.
"i kissed trea last night."
"what?!"
"shhhh!"
"sorry"
"what?!" gavin whispered.
"yeah,"
"so like, are you guys a thing?"
"no, you know we can't be."
"i know. what are you gonna do then?"
"i don't know, we're kinda just seeing where the road takes us." vanessa shrugged.
"well i promise, i won't tell a soul" he stuck out his pinky.
"thanks gav," she locked hers with his.

the game was going well, they were losing, but the phillies had been playing much better than normal. it was only the bottom of the fourth, so they had time to catch up. some producers game down to the dugout to talk to vanessa.
"am i being interviewed?" she asked looking at the man and the camera that was following him.
"want a mic?" he asked.
"like mic'd up?"
"kinda, go around, talk to players talk to fans, be entertaining, have fun with it." the tall man said handing her the mic.
"ooh this will be fun." vanessa ran off with the camera man into the stands. she went up to a few fans and asked some questions.
"whats your guys' names?" she asked two boys that looked about 8.
"im nick." the blonde one said.
"jake" said the other.
"whos you're favorite player on the phillies?" she asked them
"i like kyle schwarber a lot." said nick.
"why's that?"
"he hits bombs." the little one said with confidence.
"fair. you?" vanessa pointed the mic at the other boy.
"i like castellanos, he's cool"
"why?"
"because we have the same birthday." she laughed at him.
"good reason. follow up question, do you boys know who i am?"
"no idea," said one.
"uhhhh, i feel like i've seen you somewhere." the other added.
"okay" vanessa laughed. "thank you guys!" she ran off to go find more people. she walked up to a couple that looked a little younger than her.
"can i ask you guys a few questions?" vanessa asked the two.
"yeah, sure" said the guy.
"who am i here with today?" she asked pointing the mic at them
"mike,"
"amelia"
"mike, how many dodgers can you name?"
"freddie freeman, trea turner, gavin lux, cody bellinger, clayton kershaw, umm.. chris taylor, mookie betts, dustin may."
"that it?"
"yeah, i think so."
"amelia, name 3 players on the phillies."
"uhhhhh... bryce harper, kyle schwarber?" the girl struggled
"mhm" vanessa said
"that's all i got"
"okay, thank you!"
vanessa's eye spotted a lone dodgers fan in the crowd and she made her way over to him.
"hi! can i ask you a few questions for a bit?" she offered.
"you're vanessa carr! of course!" he said.
"okay perfect, your name?"
"bryce"
"who is your favorite dodger?"
"freddie freeman"
"can i see your jersey?" he pulled it off leaving just a t shirt underneath. "im gonna borrow this, 'kay? i'll be back. don't go anywhere"
"okay." he laughed.
she ran off back to the dugout to find freddie.
"freeman!" she yelled as the camera followed her. the boys were just coming back into the dugout as the innings were changing.
"what's with the camera?" he asked.
"dont worry about it. sign this." she said, handing him the jersey and a ball. he obeyed and signed the items.
"i'll be back." vanessa ran back into the crowd and found the fan she had taken the jersey from and returned it.
"left you a little something." she said handing him the jersey and the signed ball.
"oh my god! you're amazing! can i give you a hug?"
she nodded and hugged the fan. then she left to go scout out more people.
"this is fun." vanessa said to the camera. "let's go back to the dugout." she took the camera back to where her players were.
"i gotta mic!" she yelled to the boys.
"stay away from me!" cody laughed.
"oh im coming straight to you, cody." vanessa walked over to her friend. "cody, how are you feeling about this game?" she shoved the microphone in his face.
"good."
"are you sure?"
"yeah,"
"anything you wanna say to your fans?"
"hi mom!"
"is she your only fan?"
"yeah." the two laughed. vanessa went to go catch up with trea.
"here we have our shortstop, trea turner."
"does the phillies broadcast really want to see the dodger dugout?"
"no, they wanna see me. everyone loves me!"
"whatever you say,"
"trea turner, who's your favorite on the phillies?"
"i don't pick favorites"
"you and me both know that's not true"
"bryce. shoutout to bryce harper, my guy. did you know, bryce harper wet the bed until he was 13?"
"we learn something new every day!"
she ended her session with talking with a few other players, and giving the mic back to the broadcaster.
"thank you for this! i had a blast!"
"of course, anytime."
