Off the Courts: Outlaw Stories

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with these series. Hypnotix were the ones who did these games but they aren't around anymore. I think EA acquired the rights of the games, but then I heard other things. Either way, I own nothing except copies. That's it.

Note: This is a fanfic of the long-forgotten game series of the "Outlaw" sports series, like "Outlaw Golf," "Outlaw Volleyball," and "Outlaw Tennis." This will be an anthology of some of the characters from all four games.

I will level about some stuff. I am certain that this game series is forgotten about by this point, but I have had some ideas for some of the characters. Whether I will touch on them playing the sports, that is uncertain at the moment. I could reference the sports, however.

As for characters, I will be doing the characters in general of the whole series. What I mean is that aside from the series mainstays like Summer, Harley, Killer Miller, El Suave, and Ice Trey, there will also be characters from Outlaw Golf 1 and 2, Outlaw Volleyball, and Outlaw Tennis, including the caddies from the golf games.

Also, regarding the rating, I'll explain. With the exception of the first Outlaw Golf, as well as the demo discs that came out like the Christmas-themed golf games and Outlaw Volleyball: Red Hot, the games were rated M for some of the mature humor and some language. While the games didn't have F-bombs or S-bombs, likely because they were released at a time when profanity in video games wasn't as common (The early-to-mid-2000s had taken the turn in having explicit language in some games, but other ones didn't take that step), but seriously, a lot of the characters seem like the types who would swear, particularly Donna, Chica, Lizzy, along with others. So it will mainly be rated M for language and some mature content. Not sure about explicit scenes, though.

That's all I will say. Enjoy!

Ice, Peace, and Love

For Trevor Frost, who preferred to be called "Ice Trey," it was now the off-season from the sports that he plays. He wanted to focus on his rap career in the hopes that it would take off at some point.

He had grown up as a rich kid from Beverly Hills, but he had also grown up as a hip-hop fan, enough to want to become a rapper himself. When he wasn't recording music or performing, he would either be on the golf course, or on the volleyball court, or also the tennis court.

But with him taking a break from sports, it was time to try to get his name out there as a rapper. In fact, he had been booked to perform at a show out in Berkeley, CA. He would open for a couple of acts, Warrior and D.S.U.

It was crazy, really. Most people often looked at Ice Trey as someone who was trying to be someone he wasn't. In fact, he was often the butt of jokes because he often acted like he was "street," when everyone around him knew that he was from a wealthy area. Not a lot of people who he had partnered with on the volleyball court even took him seriously. It didn't help that he threw off some of the female partners he had, but then there were some exceptions to that.

But in spite of how he presented himself, he had shown that he has quite a good volleyball game, as well as golf game. Some of the people whom he teamed with respected his athletic abilities, but not so much his musical abilities.

It was the day of the gig and for some reason, he had decided to go check out some event at the University of California, Berkeley. He had his entourage with him. One was his closest friend and "partner in rhyme" Fred Wrigley, whom liked to be called "Fresh Fruit," who also happened to be a rapper himself. Another was a muscular African-American named Leon Briggs, who served as Trey's bodyguard.

Ice Trey was wearing a blue jacket with some baggy pants, while Fresh Fruit was wearing a yellow tracksuit.

Leon was a former pro athlete who had gotten into some trouble in some of the sports he played. He and Trey had met during one of the most recent volleyball tours. Leon walked with the two rappers while wearing a blue Bubu hoodie with some dark pants and sunglasses.

The trio walked along the campus. It was daytime and the sun shined over them.

"So, Trey," Fresh Fruit said. "Do you think we might be able to get the crowd going tonight? I hear that these Berkeley crowds are sometimes rowdy, ya dig?"

"Shit, Fruit, ain't no tellin' what to expect," Ice Trey said. "I ain't about to let nobody cramp our style tonight. Shit, even though most of the crowd are here to see Warrior and D.S.U., we got to fire up the crowd our own way."

Fresh Fruit looked around and saw a bunch of people walking around. Some even looked him and Ice Trey all funny.

"I don't know about that, homie," Fresh Fruit said. "Some of the peeps around here be looking at us and some be laughing."

Ice Trey looked around. In no way would he argue about what his friend said. In fact, he was used to it at this point.

"Don't trip, playa," Ice Trey said. "Besides, we got Leon here to help us out if some people try to fuck with us." He looked towards Leon. "Ain't that right, homie?"

Leon looked over at Ice Trey and didn't say a word, but sighed a bit after what he just heard. "Yeah, dog."

Ice Trey looked at his bodyguard and saw that he had a slight frown on his face. He wasn't sure if he was annoyed or anything similar.

"Look, Leon, I know that we got into some shit at the last show," Ice Trey said as he looked over at him. "But remember, you had my back at all times. Some of those guys were about to jump me. Anyway, what's wrong, man? You seem irritated all of a sudden, ya hear?"

Leon went to a stop and then walked in front of Trey and Fruit.

"Trey, listen, I know you don't think I like you," Leon said. "Not the case. I mean, sure, you annoy me sometimes, but you a'ight, man. I just need to say that after the shit from the last show, those fools were ready to jump yo' skinny ass. I just don't want to see you get into some shit like that. 'Cuz I know what it's like on the streets of Oakland. Shit is fucked up over there. Besides, you're better off having me as your bodyguard, 'cuz I remember when you wanted Killer Miller or Heavy G, but trust me, you're better off having me as your boy."

Ice Trey and Fresh Fruit looked at each other with so much confusion. While Leon was hired by Ice Trey's father to protect his son, it had seemed that during the times Trey and Leon partnered on a few volleyball matches, they developed a rapport.

"A'ight, you right, what happened last time was my fault," Ice Trey said. "Anyway, I just want to see any fly honeys around here."

Fresh Fruit followed his friend and looked around. With the trio at a university campus, there were a lot of people walking around, including some female college students.

"Damn, I see a bunch of nice honeys up in here," Fresh Fruit said. "I'm sure we might see some more at the show tonight."

"I hear ya on that, Freddie," Trey said.

"Man, what's up with that Freddie shit," Fresh Fruit asked.

"That's your name, ain't it?" Trey said. "Don't take this wrong, dog, but what kind of fool names himself after some gum?"

Fresh Fruit shook his head at that remark and then just kept walking with the other two.

As the continued to look around, someone said to Fresh Fruit, "Hey, sir, you want to help spread awareness of slaughterhouses?"

Fresh Fruit, Ice Trey, and Leon then looked to their right and saw a young man with round-framed sunglasses, a tie-dye shirt, and denim shorts. He also had his hair in a ponytail. He definitely looked like a hippie to them.

Trey, Fruit, and Leon all looked at him funny. Could it be because of this random event? Or could it be because this man smelled like he hadn't bathed in a few days.

They then noticed a group of hippies holding up signs about animal cruelty and some of the signs said things related to animal rights and stuff. They all stood in front of a building where the eateries and social halls were.

"Do you want to help support the cause?" the hippie said. "Check out these pamphlets. We need to show people about the horror that meat companies produce."

Leon then stepped up to the hippie and said, "Listen, my clients are on their way somewhere. Please, fuck off."

The hippie then said to Leon. "All we're trying to do is make people aware, man. No need to get all in my face about it."

"Tree Hugger, what's going on?" A female voice said to the hippie, as a short young blonde woman walked up wearing a tie-dye tank-top with a peace sign on it, as well as jeans. She had her hair in pigtails and bangs in her hair.

"Nothing, just a little misunderstanding," Tree Hugger said.

Ice Trey then looked at the blonde girl and said, "Holy shit, Harvest? Is that you?"

The young blonde woman looked up to Ice Trey and said, "Oh my god, Trey?"

Tree Hugger and Fresh Fruit looked at their respective friends with looks of confusion.

"Wait," Tree Hugger said. "You two know each other?"

Harvest then smiled and moved her head to look down in a somewhat bashful fashion. "You could say that. Remember I told you that I went on that volleyball tour? Well, we teamed up a few times, among other things." She shifted her eyes right to Ice Trey and then raised her eyebrows twice with a smile on her face.

Ice Trey then smiled a bit. Leon then looked closer at her.

"Oh my god, I thought you looked a little familiar," the muscular man said. "We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Leon."

"I'm Harvest." She then shook his hand. "I thought I recognized you. I think we played against each other a few times."

"It's just been a bit," Leon said.

"Anyway, Harvest, what are you doing up in here?" Ice Trey said.

"I live out here," Harvest said. "I'm part of this movement. Tree Hugger and I are trying to spread awareness. What about you?"

"Here for a show, you know," Ice Trey said as he started to do a hip-hop pose.

"Are you talking about that hip-hop show later?" Harvest said. "I thought I saw a flyer. Anyway, it was great seeing you. I hope Tree Hugger wasn't a problem for you."

"Nah, it ain't like that, girl," Ice Trey said. "Besides, we just checking out the place, ya dig?"

"Oh, sure," Harvest said.

Fresh Fruit then added, "Hey, why don't you two come out to our show tonight?"

Tree Hugger added, "Oh, I'm not sure. It's not our kind of music, you see…"

"I would love to," Harvest said, as Tree Hugger turned to look right at her. "I mean, we would love to."

Ice Trey said, "Hold up, are you two a thing?"

"Well, actually, we…," Tree Hugger said.

"No, we're just friends," Harvest said. "But maybe me and a few other friends can come down to see you."

Tree Hugger looked at Harvest with even more confusion and then looked at Ice Trey with some confusion mixed with a touch of jealousy. What exactly was the deal between Ice Trey and Harvest? Even Fresh Fruit wondered the same thing.

"A'ight then, hope to see you tonight, girl, bring all your friends, including your little friend right here," Ice Trey said with a smile and winked at him.

No amount of confusion was enough for Tree Hugger. He looked at Ice Trey with a minor glare and also at Harvest with a similar, but eased up look.

"See ya later, yo," Ice Trey said as he, Fresh Fruit, and Leon walked off.

Harvest waved at him with a big smile on her face.

As the trio was walking around the campus, they were now far enough from the hippies.

"Okay, Trey," Fresh Fruit said. "I want to know. What's the deal with you and that girl?"

Leon then looked Ice Trey and said, "Yeah, man, I saw the way she looked at you."

"Not only that," Fresh Fruit said. "I can see that her little boyfriend or whatever the hell he was looked at you funny. I remember you telling me about the volleyball tour and some of the fly girls you partnered with, but something tells me something happened between you two, dog."

A smile rose again on Ice Trey's face and then looked at both members of his entourage, who walked right in front of him.

"Okay, you really want to know, huh?" Ice Trey said. "Let's say we had something," a minor pause occurred, "special going on."

Fresh Fruit looked a little closer. "Wait, did you hit that? You tapped that ass?"

Ice Trey paused a bit, "Maybe." He then smiled a bit and then walked off.

Leon was a bit surprised to hear about this. "I knew it! I knew that there was something between you two. I mean, shit, I remember having Chica, Summer, and Donna trying to throw themselves at me a few times. Not like I didn't hit any of that shit, but Harvest? I thought she was a bit weird, but I saw the way she looked at you. I knew you two had a thing going on."

"That ain't that important right now, y'all," Ice Trey said. "We need to get ourselves ready for tonight. But in the meantime, let's check out the rest of Berkeley. Besides, I'm hungry right now."

Meanwhile, back in the area where the hippies were, Harvest held up a sign and chanted with others. "Stop the pain! Save the animals!"

Harvest even did a little dance to try to add a little fun to the protest.

However, Tree Hugger looked at her with some mild disdain. It wasn't because of he was annoyed by her behavior. It was more that he suspected that something happened between her and that wannabe rapper. Tree Hugger has had feelings for Harvest for a bit, but for some reason, it wasn't just that he suspected, he had a good feeling that Harvest and Ice Trey had a fling during the volleyball tour. The behavior she displayed really spoke volumes to him.

But he wasn't going to let this bother him. He didn't want to fight as he was all about peace and love. But still, he wants to tell Harvest how he feels, but after that encounter, he wasn't sure if her old feelings for that rapper came back. But he was going to have to find out sooner or later.

Another note: Okay, that was it for chapter one. Keep this in mind, this is an anthology. I may do continuations. I've done that before for one of my Dead Rising survivor anthologies.

Also, Tree Hugger is Harvest's caddy from Outlaw Golf 2. Fresh Fruit is Ice Trey's caddy from both Outlaw Golf games. Like I said, I wanted to add the caddies in the mix. So when the time comes that I'll do Summer, I know I'll put Autumn in it. I also have a plan for a chapter/story involving Donna and Vinny, who was not only Donna's caddy from Outlaw Golf 2, but also promoted to playable character in Outlaw Tennis.

Anyway, I plan to do more. I hope you enjoyed this. Peace.
