What's in a name?
Given the mass exodus to journal sites with other names, but similar rules of engagement, as 'backup', I offer this for the prompt at [info]open_on_sunday.

What's in a name

"You're not even trying, Spike."

"Told you - it's poofy."

"It is not poofy. How many times… Oh for goodness sake. Just do your best. You're our last hope."

"Really?" Spike threw out his chest. "So what Wes said about 'scraping the barrel with me was…"

"Spike! Concentrate."

Spike squared his shoulders and faced the enemy, his hand gripping the polished wood.

Angel closed his eyes against the sight of the missile curving through the air.

"Strike three. You're out!" cried Fred hugging Willow.

"Told you Rounders was a girly game. Bloke doesn't stand a chance against 'em," grumbled Spike.

Yeah - girlie cricket with no stumps, a club of a bat, and four bases instead of two. We're so contrary us females.

Thanks for the headsup that LJ ate the end of the drabble. It should make sense now.

I'm still not 100% sure if Spike's batting or bowling.

Sheesh woman, I don't think the ball is made of polished wood.

Aha! Now it makes sense! Spike would be disgusted at the very idea of playing rounders, wouldn't he? Though as it's a daytime summer game, wouldn't combustibility be an issue?

Fun drabble.

I've only just received notification of your comment so I'm sorry my reply is so late.

Now it makes sense!
I presume you first read it before Boggy alerted me that it wasn't all there.

They're playing on a floodlit court pitch whatever it is they play baseball on - field! that's it.
