A/N: This is my second Sandlot fan fiction and I'm going to try my best to stay in the plot of the movie! My first Fan fiction for Sandlot was called 'Play Ball!' that I haven't finished only because I got some major writer's block and been having trouble with how to end the story. But once I figure out how to finish Play Ball I promise I'll start typing right away.
This chapter is short it just shows how they were as kids.
Disclaimer: -Sigh- Sadly I do not own The Sandlot..I really wish I did though. BUT I do own my OC's! :D
This story is called Wish Upon A Star it's a BennyxOC story! :D I was thinking about doing a PhillipsxOc story but I didn't know how to start it or how the plot should go. Once I get some ideas I would really like to do a Phillips story! OK so enough with my talking lets start the story shall we?
Oh and please don't forget to review! :)
Wish Upon A Star
Chapter one.
It was a warm, clam, summer day in the Valley...
"Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez! Your a cheater!"
..Or not.
Little seven year old Susanna Lopez chased after an eight year old Benny down the street trying her hardest to catch up to him. "Nah-ah, you're just a slow poke!" Benny gasped out as he reached the end of the street "I win!"
Susanna reached her best friend, wrinkled her freckled covered nose, and stuck her tongue out. "I'm not a slow poke! Your just super, super fast!"
Benny smiled proudly and puffed out his small chest "I'm the fastest person alive!"
Susanna rolled her brown eyes and shook her black hair out her face "come on Benny it's getting dark. Time to go home." Benny slumped his shoulders and gave a 'hmph' in annoyance but followed Susanna back up the street anyways.
"I wanna be a baseball player when I grow up. What do you wanna be Susie?" Benny asked out of the blue using Susanna's nickname.
Susanna gave a thoughtful look "Well..maybe a nurse? I don't know yet." She shrugged her shoulders "But if you ask me, you would be the best baseball player ever!"
Benny smiled big "thanks!"
Susanna nodded her head a small smile on her lips. They both reached there houses', Benny turned to Susanna "See you tomorrow right?" She nodded her head "Yep, tomorrow."
They both waved goodbye as they went inside there homes, that were right next to each others.
Two Years Latter
Susanna sat on her front steps; Tears rolled down her cheeks as she watched her dad put the last of his suitcases in his car. Her mother; Mary Lopez sat next to her, her arms wrapped around Susanna as she continued to cry.
"It's okay nina, everything will be okay." Her mother soothed.
"Why dose d-daddy have to g-go?" Susanna sobbed, gripping at her mothers shirt tighter.
"Well sweetie, me and your dad just grew apart, that's why we got a divorce. So we're not be living together anymore, but you can still see him when ever you want." Mare explained.
Susanna broke away from her mother, jumped down the steps, and ran towards her father who stood leaning against the car. Susanna wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his shirt. "Please don't go"
Her dad sighed and wrapped his arms around her "I'm sorry baby, but I have to." Susanna shook her head "N-no you don' can stay here with me and m-mommy. P-please don't leave, please don't l-leave me daddy."
Her father kissed the top of Susanna's head "I'm sorry I j-just can't. But listen to me I promise that I'll see you very soon."
Susanna sniffed and looked up at her dad "pinky promise?" she stuck out her small pinky finger. Her dad chuckled and wrapped his pinky around hers "Pinky promise." With that said her dad kissed her on the head one last time before getting into his car and driving off. Susanna balled up her hand and wiped her tears away. She turned around to see her mother talking to Mrs. Rodriguez and a smiling Benny walking towards her.
"Hey! You are never gonna believe what I fou- are you crying?" His smile slowly faded away into a concerned frown.
Susanna sniffed once more and nodded her head "My d-dad left."
"My dad left to mamma said because of his job. He should be coming home next week though." Benny tilted his head to the side.
"N-no, not like that, he's not gonna come back. Mom said that they got a d-divorce." Susanna said as she wiped more tears away.
"O-oh, I'm sorry" Benny bit his lip in guilt.
"It's okay, he did say he would come see me soon so I guess that's good." She blinked the rest of her tears away "Why were you so happy before?"
Benny's face changed from guilt to pure happiness "Oh! I found this sandlot not to far from here! It's a perfect place for us to play baseball!" Benny was practically jumping with excitement.
Susanna's eyebrows came together in confusion "Us? But I don't even know how to play baseball."
"I'll teach you of course!" Benny smiled bigger if it was even possible.
Susanna's frown turned into a small smile "That would be great!"
"C'mon I'll show you where I found it!" Benny called out to his mom who was still talking to Susanna's mom saying that he was going to show Susanna the sandlot without waiting to a reply from ether mother Benny took a hold of Susanna's wrist and dragged her down the street.
"Hey Benny? " Susanna asked as they stopped running.
"Yea?" Benny said absent mindedly kicking a small rock.
"You promise to never leave me right?" She asked staring down at the floor, embarrassed.
Benny's head shot up to look at Susanna " Of course not Susie. I would never leave you, your my best friend." He stated proudly
"Swear?"
"Cross my heart."
