Zoey was completely absorbed by the book in front of her. Legs crossed Indian style, she twirled the pen in one hand as she flipped to the next page with the other. This Italian assignment on Mount Vesuvius was taking way too long. The speaking Italian part she had down. It was the information behind it that was the problem.

The fifteen year old sighed and jerked another page over, chewing on her bottom lip. Professore Maher had completely lost it; it was only Italian Three, there wasn’t any need to go all out. And he really hadn’t needed to tell them to bring something “new” to the presentation. ‘What was there new about a volcano that erupted centuries ago?’Her eyebrows rose as she found something that might work. She bent over to jot a note down and a knock on her door drew her attention away

Team Rivalry (1/2)

I hope you like this. (Josh & Toby, but friendship, not slash. Pre-series. I really couldn't resist this.)

Toby felt like an impostor in his own city. His city. His home. The hot New York breeze drifted over the foreign sea of royal blue baseball caps, but carried a farrago of familiar smells--bubble gum and roasted peanuts, worn leather and freshly manicured grass, sour sweat and light beer. But Toby frowned at the muted green of the outfield grass, the orange seats, the orange foul poles. Tino stepped to the plate wearing gray instead of pinstripes amid a collective low grumble rather than a cheer.

Toby pelted the ground with a handful of peanut shells. "Did you do this on purpose?"

Beside him, Josh raised his eyebrows as he swallowed his last cluster of Cracker Jacks. "I'm sorry?"

"Did you know that this whole section would be full of Mets fans

Toby held his reply as Tino pulled the ball to right with a looping swing, stopping at second with a double--good start to the inning. Bonus points for the opportunity to weaken Josh's confidence. Toby nodded toward the field. "It seems that destiny may not agree with you," he said, amused with Josh's tense squirm. "But it may surprise you that I do, in fact, already realize that they can't win them all

AHAHAHAHA. Josh, you made a mistake in betting against the Yankees.

I love this! And not just for the baseball (although I do love that), but it's so them. The dialogue was spot on, and I think my favorite line was this:

If Toby cared to guess, he'd put cold cash on the square that mentioned a misguided attempt to bond, try to forge common ground beyond polling data and ad buys, just in case Bartlet won in November and the crew of them ended up in the White House in January. Misguided and perhaps unnecessary.

Seriously, perfect.

Thank you :D

Aww, thank you. The idea attacked me and I couldn't let it go. So glad you liked it! (I find it amusing that you quoted my least favorite part, but it makes me very glad I included it now.)

"I need a speechwriter, Toby. And before you start, we have some good kids out there. Will helps where he can, but we've talked about how small that pool is. If two crazy liberals are ever going to run this country, we're gonna need your words to get us there
