Bette sat in her car waiting for James, listening to her Damien Rice CD . She hadn’t noticed that he had arrived until he tapped on the car window to let her know he was there and ready. Bette approached the small hill took 5 deep breaths, and 2 minutes to enjoy the silence… then a flood of lights came on… now she was ready. Only three people knew she could do this. Her mom, James and herself. With her right toe planted on the ground, diagonally facing instep of left foot, face straight ahead, right hip facing James, shoulders and hips fully extended, left hand on top of right holding Gracie she lets go, it goes 465 ft. She gets in ten more reps. They’re good but nothing beats the first one. Now she pick up the pail she enjoy the weight of them in her hand. She looked at her watch and realizes that they only have time for one full routine, as the team was meeting in forty minutes. She placed her thumb on the left side of it covering four stitches the index finger and the middle finger an inch apart covering the top seam. It registered 82 on the gun and the split finger. She throws her other 2 pitches, a fast ball that is 52 on the gun that needs some major work and her knuckle ball hit 75 on the gun. She takes a shower in the locker room and she and James and Bette get to the court with 20 minutes to spare. They sit on the bleachers.
********************
Her phone lit up and a voice comes out of the phone that says “crispyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy… pick up the phone” James gives her a strange look she answerers the call and talks to Dana for few more minutes before Dana tells her she is starting in tonight’s game and will see her there.
James thought she played for U Conn. Bette tells him that she does, but they go way back to Nike youth basketball camp. As Bette is stretching out, James is getting towels and bottles of water for all the players. He doesn’t mind his job, at least he feels like he is a part of the team, especially when they get this far.
James: “what’s so special about Candlestick anyway?”
Bette: “basketball started out fun, but after my Dad took notice and voiced some disapproval, it became less and less about fun. It was more of a means of showing how great I could be to ….to earn his respect. I guess it’s not different in how I overachieve in other area’s of my life… to just gain Melvin’s approval”
Respect had driven Bette to be great.
Bette: “you know I love sports…but batting and pitching, I do that for the sheer enjoyment. I’m not doing it for a coach, or an audience, or even the television”
James listened intently.
Bette: “as we get older, we will have more and more responsibilities and less and less time for fun. But when I step in Candlestick and my feet are on that mound….once again, for an hour and forty minutes I am a ten year old girl lost in the pure enjoyment….I want to keep her around as long as possible”
The rest of the team and coach enter the gym which ends their conversation. James and Bette wave at each other, as they know its time to now get down to business.

Tina is just getting changed into a pair of green hip hugger Polo jeans, with a short hunter green mid-drift top to match. She pulls the shoes out that Shane had designed for her when she hears someone knocking at her door.
