=================================================================


[Snip]


Ryouga steps up to the plate, and tries to imitate the warm up
swings the others had done before with the bat.  Sailor Mars stares
at Ryouga and smiles.

[Sailor Mars]  "Say, you're kind of cute.  What say you and I go out
after the game?"

[Ryouga] (small nose bleed forming and losing his balance) "W-
what?"

[Mousse] "Strike one!"

[Sailor Jupiter]  "We're over here......."

[Mousse] "Huh?  Oh, strike one."

Ryouga looks behind him to notice the ball in Sailor Jupiter's
catcher's mitt.  Sailor Mars is laughing uncontrollably.

[Sailor Mars] "I can't believe you fell for that!"

[Ranma]  "C'mon P-Chan!  Don't tell me that you're so hard up for
a date you'll get flustered by any girl wearing a skimpy sailor outfit."

[All Sailor Scouts] "Hey!"

[Akane]  "Just what are you looking at Ranma?!"

[Ranma]  "Oh leave me alone for five minutes please.  I have to be
in working order to finish this story."

[Ryouga]  "You watch your mouth Ranma!  If I wasn't playing this
'based-ball' I'd come there and pound you!"

[Ranma] "Just bring Ukyou home."

[Ryouga]  "I can't do that!  I hardly know her!"

[Ranma]  (clapping a hand over his forehead)  "Just hit the ball,
dummy!"

[Ryouga]  "Oh, why didn't you say so?"

[Sailor mars]  "Can we get on with the game now?"

[Ryouga]  "Huh?  Sorry."

Ryouga takes a few more practice swings, preparing for the throw.

[Sailor Jupiter]  "You know, Sailor Mars is right, you are cute!  You
remind me of my old boyfriend..."

[Ryouga] (flustered) "I-I do?"

The ball sails past Ryouga and lands neatly into Sailor Jupiter's mitt. 
Sailor Jupiter looks up at Ryouga and smiles.

[Sailor Jupter] "Gotcha!"

The entire dugout of Team Ranma can be seen slapping their
foreheads, minus Akane.

[Akane]  "C'mon Ryouga, hit the ball!"

[Ryouga] "A-Akane?  All right."  To himself.   "This is for you, my
dearest Akane!"

Ryouga promptly throws down the bat, reaching instead behind him. 
Pulling out a large bamboo umbrella, Ryouga takes a few swings
before settling at the plate, eyes focussed.

[Announcer]  "Whoa!  Seems that Ryouga Hibiki really means
business!  And does anybody use regular bats anymore?"

[Everyone in the stadium]  "Oh shut up!"

[Announcer]  "Well excuuuuuuuse me!"

[Sailor Mars] "Nice bat cutey!  But you've just ran out of luck!  Her
comes a Mars special!"

[Ryouga]  "Throw it."

Sailor Mars blinks her eyes in disbelief for a few seconds before
throwing another flaming sphere at Ryouga. 

[Sailor Jupiter] (oven mitts in place)  "Man I hate these ones!"

Ryouga brings his bamboo umbrella around and smashes the ball
high into the air, sending it over the roof.

[Announcer]  "Wow!  What a smash!  Hibiki sent this one out of
here!"

[All Sailor Scouts]  "What the f......"

[W.P.E.]  "Hey!  Let's try to keep this Pg-13!"

[Scouts]  "Sorry!"

[Team Ranma]  "Run, Ryouga, Run!"

[Ryouga]  "Where?"

[Ranma]  "Around the bases.  You can do that without getting lost,
right?"

[Ryouga]  "Shut up Ranma!  Of course I can!"

With that Ryouga begins to head for first base while Ukyou trots up
to home triumphantly.

[Announcer]  "Wow!  Look at Hibiki go!  He rounds first, he heads
towards second, he heads past second?  He runs to the outfield,
through the wall, into the stands, through the crowd....."

[W.L.M.]  "Hey!  Watch my popcorn!"

[Announcer]  "..... And is now on the roof.  Ladies and gentlemen,
Ryouga Hibiki has left the building."

[Team Ranma]  "WHAT?!"

[Ranma]  "I knew it!  I knew that idiot would get lost!  I should have
drawn him a map of the diamond!"
