Benny's POV:

We finally got enough money to get another ball, when we came out of the store I rapidly took it out of the box

"Give me a pen give me a pen!!!" I Yelled

I took a pen from Squints and wrote 'Babe Ruth' on the ball

"I don't know Benny man" Kenny said

"Yeah yeah that looks pretty crappy" Yeah Yeah Said

"It doesn't matter what it looks like, his mom's never gonna know the difference!"I Said "this'll just buy us some time ya dorks!"

We ran to /Y/N/ And Scotty's Jose and gave them the ball, then went back to our own

Scotty's POV:

I went into the trophy room with the ball and put it on the stand quickly

"Scotty?" My mom called as she walked past the door

"Uhh in here mom!" I said

"Hey honey" she said "what're you doing in here?"

"Oh just looking at Bill's ah, I mean, Dads baseball" I said

"You know he doesn't like you to touch his things" she said

"Yeah I know, sorry mom" I said trying to walk out but she stopped me

"Has he ever told you about that ball?" She asked

"Uh no uh not really" I stuttered "I-I don't think so, nah nah he hasn't at all, Umm, I don't, I don't know anything about it"

"Babe Ruth signed that ball, he was the greatest baseball player who ever lived" she said

"Really?" I asked trying not to freak out

"Sure is" She said walking towards it "his father gave it to him, maybe someday he'll give it to you"

"No, he'll probably give it to /Y/N/ I mean, She is his daughter" I Said scratching the back of my neck

Your POV:

We were sitting in the treehouse thinking of what we could do, I was a little mad, because Dad said he would give that ball to me, I hadn't thought too much about it then, but now, I was willing to do anything to get it back

"Hey I got it!" I yelled standing up "why don't we just go over and knock on the door and ask Mr, Mertle if he can-" I was cut off by Squints

"Are you out of your mind!!" He yelled "Mr. Mertle is the meanest old man who's ever lived! He's the one who made The Beast eat that kid! It's not an option, FORGET ABOUT IT!!"

"Hey!" Benny yelled at Squints "Don't talk to her like that!!"

The treehouse went silent

"Geez Benny" Ham said "what's got your underwear in a twist?"

"I just.. UGH!!!" He stomped away from Squints
