I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed with this story. It is my first. Feel free to constructively bash me in the comments, reviews, or whatever. It might help hammer out my little screws in the story. Get it? Constructively, hammer, screw? Oh gosh I'm as bad as Yang. Let's just get going.

Like all great games, it began with a few nuts. Peanuts, that is. For one day while Nora was being, well, Nora, trying to catch peanuts in her mouth when throwing them into the air , Ruby was struck with inspiration.

" I know!" she suddenly shouted. She was in the dorms with the rest of her team and Team JNPR trying to think of something to do. It was a Friday afternoon and they were just lazing about. The training room was off-limits due to Team CRDL caught "practicing" on a few students, such as Velvet. They couldn't go to town due to airship maintenance. They certainly couldn't go to the kitchen due to certain events involing Ruby, Nora, and syrupy cookies. Naturally, then, they were eager to hear of any potentially fun idea.

"We should all play baseball!" Ruby finally said excitedly after a healthy dramatic pause. She then looked around for support for her idea while nodding like a maniac, up and down and up and down. Yang and Nora looked excited at the thought and was ready to play, Weiss appeared dismayed at this suggestion, Pyrrha and Ren were hesitant, and Jaune... well he was confused.

"What's baseball?" he asked. His only response was several smacks around the room as palms met faces. Ruby, though, grinned in a way he found kinda frightning. She dragged him aside into an empty classroom full of various baseball supplies and a chalboard with a baseball diamond on it.

Sitting him down on a nearby beanie chair that looked like a baseball glove, she began talking about baseball rules. At first he was fine, but then she went into technical information and beyond. He tried to bear it, politely ask to leave, and eventually just plain bolting out the door. Each time Ruby swung Cresent Rose in front of his escape, all the while rambling about baseball history, famous players, and the all-important baseball food groups.

Three hours later, the others were shocked at Jaune's appearance when he and Ruby returned. He had bags under his eyes, his whole body sagged, and had numerous cuts on his clothes due to " helpful demostrations". Ren raised one eyebrow in pity and began "So how did..."

"Just don't. Let's go already. Please." Jaune looked almost as a man begging for mercy at this last part. His eyes basically screamed it at Ren. That was enough to send a shiver down Ren's spine. It made him almost thankful to Nora for the way she was. Almost.

After much arguement against it, fights to continue, and yes, facepalms at Jaune at whatever came out of his mouth, they went to Ozpin for permission.

"Yes?" Ozpin asked, eyebrow raised, cane still held in one hand as he sipped "coffee" with the other. Teams RWBY and JNPR had stormed into his office, asking for something. Ruby was pretty much bouncing up and down in excitement, Yang and Nora weren't far behind, and the rest of their teams just looked brow-beatened into whatever this request was.

"We want to play baseball, sir!" was his answer, delievered with a salute by Ruby. Ozpin almost snorted at this, young perky Ruby acting all formal, standing still while holding an excellent salute. After a little thought he replied "Fine, but you must play Beacon-style baseball."

Ruby began bouncing in earnest at that. However, Ozpin saw Jaune beginning to open his mouth in question and Ruby already noticed that and started prepping for another three-hour "class" of hers for the rules of Beacon-style baseball, but Ozpin then waved her off. He wanted to spare Jaune the pain. Plus the therapy bills were getting expensive at this point. He didn't need another emotionally-scarred scarred for life student. "Simply put Jaune, Beacon-style means that one may use their weapons, Auras, and sembalances to play as well... within reason." Ozpin answered. Nobody was very certain, but Ren and Pyrrha thought he glanced at Yang for that last statement.

As the two teams left his office laughing and already trading boasts as to who will win (Team RWBY will triumph! No Team JNPR all the way, right Pyrrha? Yes Jaune... Do we get to break legs? NOOOOO!) Ozpin sat back in his chair, sipped his "coffee", and smirked. "This is going to be interesting..." he thought as he started filling out the red tape, blue tape, yellow tape, and health insurance policies required to let the game happen. He knew the perfect ump for the job...

How was it? Bad, good, ehh, or any combination thereof? If it feels off, sorry, still working on it. I'm going to add another chapter for the actual game itself. Is there such a thing as a two-shot? Anyway, focusing problems aside, I hoped you liked. Comment, groan, review, smash something, walk away, go ahead I am fine with it. Except for maybe the smashing. Maybe.

Edit: I hope you guys like it better now. I fixed a few typos and added some more to it. Enjoy (or not, it is your opinion after all)
