《Authors Note: Sorry this one is a little lengthy but I wanted to do a larger one in celebration of Michael's birthday you guys. Thanks so much for reading. Enjoy ♡♡♡ Season Finale coming soon》

It was a warm spring day in Los Olivos that day and the girls fanned themselves on the bleachers to a local baseball team.

Dee kept her head on a swivel as she searched persistent for her baby brother who was coaching the visitor team. Shan comes by after going on a drink run and she hands Faith her bottle of water. She holds out Dee's energy drink until Dee pays her no attention. Her eyes were focused on the crowd and  Shan calls out,
"Deeee...line one for Deeee.."

She snaps back to the girls and she chuckles,
"Sorry. Preston should be here soon I hope.."
Shan looks over and asks  unscrewing her Gatorade,
"Who's that?"

Dee gawks and she starts fanning with her ball cap,
"Have I really never told you about my brother?"

"You have a brother?" Faith asks pulling down her sunglasses and Dee smiles,
"Guess that's my answer.."
The announcer came over the loud speaker and announced both teams enthusiastically with the static  crackling in his words. The girls stood for the national anthem and Dee still searched frantic for her brother.
Her eyes popped and she started hopping up and down like a maniac.
Faith shivered as the singer of the anthem wad terribly out of tune and Dee whispers,
"There he is! Over there!"

The two teams that played clashed in colors so their oppositions would be obvious. The home team was the San Francisco Tigers, wearing purple and gold as their colors. And then the visiting team, The Calabasas Camels.
As ugly as Camels were, Dee's brother coached them proudly in red and black.

Shan looks over and she says,
"Dee? That's your brother?"
Her eyes seemed confused and Dee nods eager.
Preston was tall and slim for his stature and he wore his cap backwards never minding the heat.
"Should we text Michael? We didnt even tell him we'd be gone.."

"I think he'll be okay. He's omnipotent, what's he gonna do?"

~Back At Neverland
Michael sat belly down on the floor of his balcony. He looked through the railing and into the backyard with their neighbors schnauzer in his sights.
"Look at this clown.." he muttered as he loaded the toy nerf gun.
Carol's schnauzer comes every day and lifts his leg on the same tree in Neverland's backyard and Michael was at his wits end.

The dog comes shuffling through the bushes and Michael squints his eyes,
"I wish you would..."
It sniffs around on the ground leading a trail right to Michael's tree.
Michael aims the nerf toy and sees the dog beginning to hike his leg.
"I GOTCHU NOW." Michael cries out and he fires a Styrofoam bullet into the side of the tree making the tiny schnauzer begin to bark. He fires another into the air barely missing the dog and it runs away frightened.
Michael blows away the "smoke" from the barrel comically and he sighs,
"What am I doing with my eternity?"

The door opened down stairs and Shania comes rushing in,
"Miiiiiike!!"
Michael sends his energy immediately downstairs and he appears downstairs,
"What's going on, Shan?"

Shania turns in shock, Michael always scaring her when he does that and she says,
"Dee's brother got hurt pretty bad at this baseball game we went to, he doesn't know you're here so lay low okay?"

Michael nods and he takes one of Shania's pig tails into his hand and he giggles looking at her ball cap.
"You look cute in that, Shan."
She blushed and said,
"Well thanks."
Michael sees them lugging a grown man by the shoulders onto the stoop and he says hiding,
"Here they come.."
