She approaches the field and stands by the rusty fence behind the plate. One of the older girls she looks about ten or twelve spots Tegan and invites her to join in. The kids show her how to swing the bat and the pitcher starts to toss the ball in her direction they let her keep swinging until she hits one. When she does, the light wiffle ball catches the wind, floats high in the air, swirls around a bit, and lands two inches from Tegans feet.

The boy at first base looks at his watch and yells, Hey, its lunch time, causing all the wiffle ball players to scatter and race home in search of food. The girl that invited Tegan to play tells her to come back tomorrow in the morning to play a game with them and Tegan agrees with an enthusiastic nod of the head.

I thought youd be mad at me, the young girl cried. For playing a game?
