AMBITION Season 1 ♫ “The Miserables” [ 1.09 ]

CREATED BY Esther (rapunzles) & Maggie (quincywillows)

ENTENDEZ-VOUS LES GENS CHANTENT? – Shawn tests his limits as he steps up to lead the production of the spring musical in Angela’s absence. Lingering tension over casting choices bubbles over. Deceptively rosy circumstances prompt students to seek refuge in unlikely places.

62 Minutes (16K words) || No warnings apply.

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

The episode opens on FARKLE MINKUS, standing in front of the black box classroom. He’s looking at a poster for the sophomore spring musical – Les Misérables. He glances up in front of him, tossing a look to the camera, before spinning on his heel and beginning a definitive march down the hallway.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Do You Hear the People Sing?” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by AAA Sophomores

Farkle kicks off the number, beginning the ode to rebellion as he makes his way through the halls. The opening shot is done in one long, continuous movement, and as other characters join the march and the song, it builds until it’s the full sophomore class parading through the halls and towards the auditorium.

Also as they progress, it seems as though time is shifting around them. Slowly, costume pieces are adorned and changes in the background indicate the passage of time.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Upon the final chorus, the cast of the spring musical marches into the auditorium. They walk through the aisles in full make-up, hair, and costume, coming to a halt in front of the stage. In front of them, the entire set and staging for Les Mis has been erected, and we’re suddenly within days of opening night.

Bathed in the glow of the stage lights, the sophomore class looks up at their backdrop. Some look ready for the adventure, others not so much. ISADORA DE LA CRUZ is in full costume, signaling a shift from behind the scenes to center stage. LUCAS FRIAR has the signature headset around his neck, indicating a promotion for him as well.

This is the final breath before the curtain rises. But how did we get from auditions to here? We’re certainly about to find out, and in six distinct parts…

Cue title sequence.

Before each part of the episode, a black title screen gives us the name of the story, hanging for about five seconds before fading into the opening scene of the segment.

PART I: “Lovely Lady, Come Along and Join Us”

INT. AAA - GIRLS DRESSING ROOM - DAY

Isadora is the spotlight of the premier story, taking us back to the period of auditions. She’s giving herself a pep talk in the mirror, about to audition for her first ever show. She tries to remind herself that it’s low stakes, that she’s gone this long without a role she could certainly carry on, but that doesn’t seem to do much to assuage her nerves.

Still, she’s Isadora De La Cruz, and she’s not one to back down from a challenge. Squaring her shoulders, she gears up to go and audition.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

She emerges from the stage doors, coming into the wings yet still hidden behind the curtain. Lucas is there waiting for her. He gives her a bracing pat on the shoulder and a smirk, nodding her towards the stage. Behind her, as he always is.

Returning the nod, Isadora takes a deep breath. Then, she steps out into the lights.

She can barely see ANGELA MOORE and ERIC MATTHEWS through the brightness. She squints to make them out, jumping a bit when Angela’s voice invites her to introduce herself over the speaker. She clears her throat.

Isadora: I’m Isadora De La Cruz, and I’ll be performing “I Dreamed A Dream.”

Nothing. She’s not sure what she’s expecting, but Angela is merely jotting down notes for reference. Then she lifts her head, signaling for Isadora to begin whenever she’s ready.

Another inhale. She glances over her shoulder one more time, Lucas giving her a thumbs up. Isadora lets her eyes flutter closed, centering herself.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “I Dreamed A Dream” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Isadora De La Cruz

Starting from the first verse, Isadora tentatively begins the Broadway classic. It’s a little more exposure to her potential vocal ability, which seems untapped and ready to be unleashed. Not as polished as the divas, naturally, but raw with talent and a whole lot of repressed emotion.

As the song progresses, the camera begins a slow spin around Isadora as a time lapse begins. Around her space on the stage, we see other students moving in fast motion through their auditions.

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

By the time the music swells (“And still I dream he’ll come to me…”), focus shifts to outside the black box. Angela emerges to a crowd of impatient sophomores, eyeing the cast list she is clutching in her hands. She holds up a finger of patience, pinning it to the board and diving out of the way before the masses converge.

Each student approaches and gets a look at their given role, reactions pointed to how they might be spending the episode. ZAY BABINEAUX finds his name across from the role of Jean Valjean, bristling with confidence and acting wholly unsurprised. Farkle shares a similar pride at being cast as Javert, swooping the hair off his forehead and pushing back through the crowd with his chin held high.

CHARLIE GARDNER seems pretty pleased with being cast as heartthrob Marius, receiving excited pats on the back from HALEY FISHER and DARBY WINTERS. For RILEY MATTHEWS, she’s a distinct mix of happy and stunned to have been given the role of Eponine. YINDRA AMINO shrugs and offers a prideful smirk at her casting of Cosette.

NIGEL CHEY accepts enthusiastic jostling from NICK YOGI and DAVE WILLIAMS at snagging the comedic role of Thénardier. MAYA HART looks less enthused by Madame Thénardier, obviously having anticipated something different.

As Isadora approaches the list, most of the crowd has dispersed. She can’t believe her eyes when she sees her name matched with Fantine, one of the most iconic roles in the show. Slowly, a smile creeps onto her face.

INT. AAA - BLACK BOX THEATER - DAY

Isadora knocks lightly on the door, catching Angela in the midst of packing some of her things. But she greets Isadora cheerfully, welcoming her in so long as she pardons the mess.

She doesn’t bother to ask about the packing, jumping right to her question. She asks if she was given the role of Fantine because of her mother. Not because she’s right for the role or her own talent, but because of her last name. She just wants to know the full reasoning before she initials next to her name and accepts the part.

Angela disputes such a claim, telling her that she was given the role because she gave a great audition. She has talent and earned it fair and square, and she has little doubt that she’ll do an excellent job. Angela encourages her to have half of the confidence in her performing ability as she does in her technical prowess, and she’ll be perfectly fine.

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

With this assurance locked down, it’s settled. Isadora nervously initials next to her name, accepting the role and diving headfirst into the world of the performers.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Next class, the class is assembled as SHAWN HUNTER hands out their copies of the script. He gives a miniature speech about how he will be taking over as director in Angela’s temporary absence. The performers express skepticism and worry over this change, asking tons of questions such as where the hell Angela went and also what makes him think he can just step into the role of director.

Farkle pipes up louder than all of them, demanding to know whether or not Angela is going to be there for opening night. Shawn assures them that she fully intends to be present for the performances, and she made sure to wait until the last possible minute to leave so she could help prepare a majority of the materials for the show. If they just band together, the whole process will run smoothly.

So he’s choosing to approach the situation with confidence, and he thinks that they all should too. He states the encouragement with a flourish, handing out the last stack of scripts.

Dave: [ reading off the cover ] “The Miserables?”

Zay: It’s Les Misérables, you uncultured swine. Take a French class.

Too late. From then on out, the techies refer to the show as “The Miserables” the rest of the run.

As the group disperses to begin memorizing lines, Riley eagerly congratulates Isadora on her first official role. She exclaims how exciting it’s going to be to have her on the other side of the curtain. Isadora seems grateful for the enthusiasm, just as Shawn floats over and states that sentiment is precisely what he needs to discuss with her. He asks if he can borrow her for a minute, Riley backing off without complaint.

INT. AAA - DRESSING ROOM HALL - DAY

Shawn pulls Isadora aside, starting by congratulating her on her role. Then he poses his query, wanting her opinion on who he should promote to stage manager now that she’s jumping to the other side of the production.

To Isadora, the answer is obvious – Lucas. There’s no one else she can think of for the job. Shawn questions whether she believes he’s responsible enough to handle it, but Isadora has no doubts. If they put the faith in him, he’ll pay it back. He’s never let her down before.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Even still, Isadora can’t let go of the reins so easily. She shows up early to rehearsal the next afternoon to check on the crew, finding them in their usual spot in the back of the auditorium. They all greet her eagerly as she approaches, happy to see her back in their quarters.

She simply states that she wanted to check in that everything is going smoothly, to which ASHER GARCIA tells her not to worry. DYLAN ORLANDO chimes in, telling her that they’re all super proud of her for shaking things up on the other side. They want her to go forth and slay! They’ll be fine, now go show the performers what she’s made of.

Reassuring, but in some ways even more pressuring than before. Now she’s carrying the expectations of the techies on her back too, and she’s not sure how to feel about it.

INT. AAA - DANCE STUDIO - DAY

It’s even more overwhelming to be thrown into the midst of rehearsals without them. She’s attempting to keep up with the demands, but clearly unfamiliar with how to proceed and surrounded by people that up until a month ago had always been adversaries. So, the moment they have a moment to break from vocal rehearsal, she searches for allies.

She goes to Riley first, but it’s evident that although she’s still incredibly supportive she’s a little spaced out. Clearly, she’s got her own stuff going on and won’t be much help. Isadora turns to Maya next, having had friendly interactions with her in the past and given that she was the one who told her to audition in the first place.

However, Maya is not receptive to such advice-giving. She’s in the midst of her diva meltdown of the season, and frankly isn’t all that fond of Isadora at the moment. She says a few offhand words before floating away, rejoining Chai and Darby at the other end of the studio. Isadora tries not to let the dismissal sting, determined not to show weakness in this new territory.

She glances over her shoulder towards Shawn, who happens to be conferring with Lucas about something stage managing related. But he feels a million miles away, and he’s gone before she can even blink back to the auditorium.

Isadora stands alone in the center of the room, somehow isolated despite being in the midst of all the action.

INT. FOSTER HOME - ISADORA’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

That night, Isadora finds herself contemplating the only other source she can think of to reach out to – Valerie. She sits at her desk and opens and closes her phone a couple of times, obviously indecisive. She begins typing a message in response to all the previous ones she let go unanswered, explaining that she got a role in the school musical but isn’t sure she is cut out for it. She puts it all out there in text form… before hastily deleting it.

Not ready to let down those walls, but still desperately needing guidance. She gets up from her desk and flops onto her bed, exhausted.

EXT. AAA - LUNCH COURTYARD - DAY

Isadora attempts to ask Riley about it at lunch, but it’s evident that Riley is distracted. Whatever is going on in her neck of the woods, it’s obviously occupied her mind so she’s little help. She optimistically encourages her to contact her mother if that’s something she’s been considering, but it’s clear she isn’t giving the situation much serious thought.

When Isadora claims she wants to get a second opinion, Riley eagerly agrees to that as well. So it’s not clear whether she’s actually listening, or if she’s just playing support staff like the good friend she is.

Isadora: And you’re clearly not really listening.

Riley: Totally. Yeah – wait, what?

Isadora: Nothing. Simply thinking about how nice it is to have you around.

Riley: :)

In any case, she wants that second opinion. Time to revert to the safest source of thought she’s ever known – if he can spare a moment to give her the time of day.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Lucas is in the auditorium, standing at the base of the stage and looking up towards the set as Dylan and DAVE WILLIAMS work to set up the backdrop.

Lucas: Okay, let’s see the barricade backdrop.

[ Dylan and Dave frantically lower one of the curtains, pulling down a beautiful sunset of a backdrop with a twinkling castle in the distance and a cotton candy sky. A leftover from their last show, Cinderella. ]

Lucas: [ Waiting until it’s fully down, closing his eyes and forcing a smile. ] Okay, now, I meant the barricade that’s not Cinderella’s castle.

[ Dave and Dylan look up at the backdrop, wincing. Dave immediately begins pulling the ropes to bring it back up. ]

Dylan: Sorry!

Lucas: It’s fine just… [ gesturing indicatively ] Fix it.

Dylan: Aye, aye, captain.

Isadora enters just as Lucas is giving this directive, traipsing down the aisle to join him at the front. He greets her, Isadora asking if he has a second to chat. He nods, glancing back over his shoulder at them fumbling with the backdrop.

Lucas: Depending on how long this takes them, could be forever.

He nods towards the booth, leading the way back up the aisle.

INT. AAA - TECHNICIAN’S BOOTH - DAY

Lucas reenters the booth with Isadora close behind, settling into his usual rolling chair. He props his feet up on the lighting table and pulls a granola bar from a stash in the filing cabinet, lamenting just how many things can go wrong in one day around here. Isadora is like believe me, I know, but states that she kind of misses it.

Lucas teases her about her new role, asking her how it is to be a traitor and infiltrate the other side. She rolls her eyes and can tell he’s just poking fun, but it still stings a bit more than she anticipated. She cuts to the chase, eager to change the subject. She expresses her hesitation about talking to her mother, asking if he thinks she should reach out.

Lucas, who has never liked Valerie for how severely she fucked with Isadora’s emotions, isn’t a fan of the idea. To say the least.

Lucas: Are you kidding? No.

Isadora: No – no. You think no.

Lucas: Absolutely the fuck not. She’s never done a thing for you, what makes you think she’s going to change that tune now?

Isadora: Well… well, I mean it is her area of expertise –

Lucas: See, that’s where you’re wrong. Her area of expertise is being a shit mother, and because of her you need no explanation on how that works. You owe her nothing, and you don’t need to give her an invitation back into your life to fuck you over again. You wanted my opinion, and that’s it.

Isadora isn’t surprised by this stance from her best friend. What she’s surprised by is the fact that she’s disappointed in this response, and that’s more telling than anything else. She’s pulled from the conversation before she can think on it further, or ask about the crew and how everything is going. Shawn calls her down for call time.

Lucas, sarcastically: The spotlight awaits.

INT. FOSTER HOME - BLUE’S ROOM - NIGHT

Isadora passes through the hall when she doubles back, catching a glimpse of her foster sibling BLUE NGUYEN (17). The eldest foster sibling and most level-headed, Isadora figures it may not hurt to ask him for advice. She knocks on the door before stepping in and explaining her hesitation about Valerie, asking him what he would do.

Blue can’t speak much on his own experience with his parents, since the entire reason he’s in this foster home at all is because his parents kicked him out when they learned he is trans and want nothing to do with him pretty decisively. But he says that since Valerie clearly is making an effort, she should take advantage of that and see where it takes them. It may not end up exactly how Isadora envisions it, but at least it’ll be better than not pursuing it and always leaving a lingering what-if.

BEATRIX TORRES (16) interrupts the conversation, exclaiming that she finally found Isadora. Her brother Jericho has been asking for homework help, and she’s always better with that than she is. When she gets caught up on the topic of conversation, she offers her two cents of the fact that her mother literally can’t afford to take care of her and Jericho. Sure, sometimes she resents her for that, but at the end of the day she’s still their mom and she will take any amount of time with her she can get. And when they do spend time together, it’s hard and takes some adjustment to break out of that independence and lingering resentment, but it’s usually worth it afterwards.

She doesn’t know why Valerie gave up Isadora, but it seems to her like it may be a similar kind of vibe. Valerie’s celebrity aside. Isadora takes all of this in, contemplative.

INT. FOSTER HOME - ISADORA’S ROOM - NIGHT

Back in her room for the evening, Isadora makes a choice. Grabbing her phone, she crafts a message Valerie again. Before she can change her mind she hits send, not allowing herself to look at it anymore. She leaves her phone on the desk and out of her reach, climbing into bed.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Rehearsals are ongoing, a rendition of “Master of the House” going onstage. Isadora is in the wings, waiting for her next attempt to rehearse “Lovely Ladies” when her phone vibrates. It’s a response from Valerie, and an enthusiastic one at that. At the end of the message, it asks if they can video chat.

Isadora glances around her, making sure the number is still well in progress. Then, she steps out into the dressing room hall.

INT. AAA - GIRLS DRESSING ROOM - DAY

Isadora checks that no one is around before stepping into the dressing room, settling into her corner of the room. She braces herself before dialing Valerie’s number, impatiently waiting for the video call to go through.

When it finally goes through, VALERIE DE LA CRUZ is looking back at us from the other side. It’s a bit of a fuzzy connection, but she’s just as stunning as ever and clearly enjoying the Los Angeles sunshine wherever she is. She immediately congratulates Isadora on her role, eagerly asking her what she thinks of the show and her rehearsal process so far.

When Isadora mentions some of the nerves she’s been having during rehearsal, Valerie empathizes. She explains that performing is hell, it’s an endurance sport, and she still gets anxiety sometimes before getting out on that stage. But the thrill of performing and the applause and that connection with the audience, that outstrips every frayed nerve by the time she opens her mouth to sing. The joy of singing is so worth it, and she knows Isadora feels it too, otherwise she wouldn’t have bothered to audition in the first place.

Valerie: Everyone says this to me all the time and it never helps, but it’s true so I’ll pass it onto you – you’re extremely talented. You’ve got an incredible voice. There’s nothing to worry about, you’re going to kill it.

Isadora, sheepishly: You’ve never even heard me.

Valerie: I don’t have to. I already know it. You’re Isadora De La Cruz, and you’re going to take the world by storm. I’ve known that since the day you were born.

Valerie claims she has to go back to rehearsal, and she’s sure Isadora does too. But she’s proud of her, and she can’t wait to hear all about it. When Isadora hangs up she’s still nervous, but there’s a bit more confidence instilled in her now. She’s determined.

Unfortunately, this is all put to the test when Maya enters the dressing room. She eyes Isadora putting her phone away, commenting that she must’ve had an important call if she needed to step out of rehearsal. She shrugs off her attempts to defend herself, basically insinuating that Isadora isn’t a serious performer if she won’t even take rehearsals seriously – a stretch, and part of the fool routine Maya has been putting on since the cast list went up.

Isadora doesn’t understand why she’s so pissy, considering she was the one who told her to audition in the first place. What, just because it doesn’t benefit her, she’s not worth the support anymore? Maya tries to brush it off, but Isadora is sharp with pointing out her hypocrisy and isn’t going to just let her diva behavior off the hook. She thought they were past that.

Still, Maya gets the last word. As Isadora heads out to get back to rehearsal, she has one last choice statement to make.

Maya: Don’t blow it, De La Cruz.

A sharp comment, coming from a girl who knows what power it wields. No one has ever called Isadora by her actual surname before, and the implications as to why it’s being used now are clear. Isadora doesn’t respond, gritting her teeth and storming out.

Maya watches her go, chewing her lip. Still, her eyes are blazing. Obviously struggling to deal with the way things are…

PART II: “Everything Has Got A Little Price”

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

Maya is wearing that same expression, back in front of the cast list for the first time. Others are still celebrating around her, Zay patting Charlie on the shoulders in the background. She’s bristling, focused on how both the other divas have leading roles… and then she’s a few lines down. Past Isadora, past Riley, relegated to second fiddle.

She doesn’t initial to accept her part, storming off.

INT. AAA - SHAWN’S OFFICE - DAY

Maya launches into a tirade the moment she steps into Shawn’s office, lamenting how she’s being punished. It’s clear that Shawn isn’t surprised she’s there, but he expresses exasperated confusion over her statement as he gets to his feet.

Maya: I mean, tell me, what did I do? Why am I being punished when all I’ve done is encourage others to spread their little wings and soar and try to bridge the divides? You know, sort of. More so than Farkle, at least.

Shawn claims that the decision had very little to do with her, as he and Angela simply attempted to match the best role to each performer who auditioned. Maya scoffs, searching for another route to harpoon instead.

Maya: Then explain this, Hunter. Why did you and Miss Moore think it was a good idea to pick a show with such a limited female cast? As if their class isn’t dominated by talented women? As if men don’t already own enough of the world?

Shawn: You literally wrote Les Mis when we passed around the suggestion box. It was one of your thirteen submissions – all of which you signed.

Maya: It’s unjust is what it is. Just say you hate women, Mister Hunter. Just say you hate me, let’s get it out in the open.

Shawn doesn’t humor her bullshit the way Angela does, calling her out for the diva antics. He reminds her that it is only one show, and there will be plenty of more opportunities for her to hog the spotlight in the future. And even if it were his decision – which it’s not – he wouldn’t change the casting now.

Maya huffs, spinning on her heel and marching out. She nearly runs into Lucas in the doorway, turning some of her venom on him.

Maya: Are your two left boots incapable of walking too? Get out of my way, gothic Butch Cassidy.

INT. AAA - BLACK BOX THEATER - DAY

Zay and Charlie are humoring Maya’s tantrum as she’s getting costumed by JADE BEAMON, continually pausing her ranting to curse as Jade sticks her with a pin. Considering Jade is their best costumer, it’s likely the pin sticking isn’t all that unintentional despite how emphatically she apologizes each time. Although, all of the gesticulating Maya is doing could be a factor.

Zay shakes his head, pointing out that this is exactly why no one likes her or Farkle. Because they so easily caught up in shit like this, so their friendship is thin. It means nothing. Maya is miffed by the insinuation, defending her attitude on the basis that she’s simply not getting her fair share – i.e., the tried and true argument of every theater kid once upon a time.

Charlie offers a more positive spin by stating that she’s just paying her dues as every showman must. Maya refutes this, impassioned.

Maya: I’m going to make it. I’m going to be the one who emerges from this school after fighting tooth and nail to stay on top, and then I’ll never look back. But I need to build credit while I’m here, and being stuck in smaller roles isn’t going to accomplish that.

Charlie argues that Mme Thénardier is actually a pretty fun role that most people would love to have, but Maya is beyond reason. She continues her rant, claiming that one day she’s going to make it and none of this is going to matter, but right now, she has to go perform this stupid musical. Zay, Charlie, and Jade watch her as she storms out, exchanging looks of amusement.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Master of the House” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Nigel Chey & Maya Hart (feat. AAA Sophomores)

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

The stage getting closer to a finished set, the sophomores take their places for a truncated rendition of this rowdy and fun ensemble number. NIGEL CHEY does an excellent job with his role, really giving the performance a spark of energy.

As the performers run through it, they poke fun at the techies working on the set and attempt to pull them into the dancing. They’re particularly goofy with Lucas, who stumbles around in his struggle to avoid them and actually get work done. By the time the song comes to an end, he’s retreated to the wings in a huff, Riley waiting there and giggling at him as he fixes his clothes and adjusts his headset.

When Maya’s solo comes along, she delivers the lyrics with convincing levels of exasperation. She’s going through the motions, channeling her frustration with the casting into the role. All in all, despite her behavior, it’s an enjoyable production.

INT. CHUBBIE’S DINER - NIGHT

On the table of the booth in the back corner, Maya has spread out a flurry of flyers and pamphlets. It’s a series of programs and auditions she can put herself up for, searching for new avenues to bolster her credentials before she goes out there into the real world. In particular, a pamphlet for the coveted Kossal Summer Program seems to be in the forefront of her mind – the same summer program that Farkle mentioned in the pilot.

KATY HART interrupts her laser focus, wandering over and bringing a slice of pie with her. She places the plate down in front of her daughter before sliding into the booth across from her, asking her what she’s working on so diligently. After Maya plaintively explains her dire straits and desire to find more ways to hone her craft, Katy takes the chance to share a surprise. She was able to get opening night off of work, so she’ll be able to come see her perform!

Maya is happy, but not nearly as enthused as she could be. When Katy comments on this, Maya beats around the bush before admitting that she doesn’t know if it’s worth it considering she hardly has a part worth blowing off work for. Katy claims that she could be playing a tree and it would still be worth it to her, to which Maya states all the trees are barricade wood at this point.

Katy questions why she’s so stuck on the size of the part, pulling out the age old adage that there are no small parts, only small actors. Maya rolls her eyes at this, before going into her thought process about how she doesn’t want to take one misstep and somehow mess up her shot. She’s terrified of this becoming a pattern, of somehow becoming constantly overlooked.

Maya: I mean, look at you. You’re the most talented person I know, and no one ever even gave you a chance. You had it all, and you still had to give it up because no one would give you the time of day. How am I supposed to keep that from happening to me if techies and forgettable sopranos are getting leads over me?

Katy refutes this fear, stating that she and Maya are on very different paths. She set out to make sure Maya got to make her own path, after all. She shouldn’t stomp all over the good things that this experience might be bringing because she’s terrified of how the future might treat her. Another golden lesson from mother of the year Katy Hart…

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Farkle is hanging out on the barricade set, now nearly fully constructed. He’s half in costume, balancing his police hat on his knee and focused on a text conversation with his mother. Jennifer’s texts express the opposite sentiment to Katy – they’re doing their best to clear their schedules for opening night, but this that and the other might cause a conflict.

She follows up by stating they’ll work it out, and they will see him perform one way or another. He doesn’t look particularly convinced.

He’s pulled out of the moment when the stage door slams open, Riley barreling out of the dressing room hall. She’s obviously miffed, cheeks flushed and on the warpath. Riles Scrappy Matthews came to play!

Farkle: What’s got your feathers all ruffled?

Riley: Don’t push me. You got something to say?

Farkle: … No, ma’am.

Riley: Smart. Guess you are a genius.

Riley stomps off, leaving Farkle totally confused. He glances towards the dressing rooms where she came from. Wondering who she might have murdered, he hops off the set piece.

INT. AAA - GIRLS DRESSING ROOM - DAY

Farkle inches his way into the dressing room, dreading seeing something he shouldn’t in return for his bold choice to enter the girls territory. Lucky for him, there’s no one there but Maya.

She’s standing at her station in front of the mirror, holding a tissue to her mouth and clearly just wrapping up a brief crying spree. She spots Farkle behind her through the mirror, jumping slightly and frantically wiping at her eyes. She tells him he can’t be in there, to which he simply responds tit for tat, given that she walks into the boys dressing room to bother him all the time.

When he tentatively attempts to figure out why she’s being so… emotional, she lashes out at him much like she’s been all through the rehearsal process. He raises his hands in surrender, telling her that she’s gotta chill.

Maya: Oh, that’s rich, coming from you.

Farkle: Believe me, bitch, I know. Why do you think I’m telling you it with such certainty? Been there. Often.

He reaches into the pocket of his pants, retrieving a handkerchief. He hands it to her, which she reluctantly takes. Farkle goes on to explain that he just got friends – including her – and the only reason is because he started trying to control the diva instincts and consider how that impacts other people. It’s that kind of behavior that makes allies difficult to keep.

Maya has always had the upper hand between the two of them, and it’s because she’s slightly more palatable in that regard. He advises her not to give up that advantage now by blowing it all on a stupid musical which they’ll have many more of before their time here is done.

After a moment, Maya relents and admits that they are probably more similar than she ever wanted to believe. Farkle gives her one more statement of camaraderie.

Farkle: I understand the notion of knowing what you’re destined to do and being willing to do whatever it takes. Trust me, I feel that in my bones. It’s not an attractive quality, but it’s what is going to put us one tier above the rest.

[ Maya dabs her eyes with the handkerchief. Farkle waits for her to meet his eyes. ]

Farkle: But first, we have to pay our dues. Whether it be as the town crier in Cinderella or the scheming, sultry wife to one of the most notorious tricks in the fabled history of the French revolution.

With that, he leaves her to pull herself back together. Maya hangs onto his handkerchief, glancing up at herself in the mirror. Not necessarily liking what she sees. Boy, if she doesn’t have damage control to do now…

PART III: “A Little Fall of Rain”

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

We’re back in front of the cast list, Riley now the one standing in front of it. She stares at her name across from Eponine in awe, unable to believe it’s accurate. But Yindra’s enthusiastic grip on her arm confirms it – it must be true. She’s playing perhaps one of the best roles, with one of the most iconic female solos of all time.

That’s a lot to take in all at once. And she needs one more bout of reassurance, just to be sure there wasn’t a mistake.

INT. AAA - BLACK BOX THEATER - DAY

This is how she ends up in Angela’s classroom, following the same route as Isadora in questioning whether the role was given correctly. Considering performers like Maya do exist in their class, she just wants to be absolutely certain. She was expecting something a little more soft-spoken, like Cosette. Or a chorus member. She doesn’t want to let anyone down.

Angela claims there was no mistake, and the casting was quite intentional. She thinks she’ll make an excellent Eponine. When Riley expresses apprehension, Angela sits her down and goes into more depth on the choice. As she explains it, Eponine is a tragic character, but she’s not a victim – she suffers and struggles but continues to crawl onward regardless. She makes bold choices, but also bottles up her emotions to benefit others. She puts aside her own wants to service the happiness of others, even at her own expense.

It takes a great actress to capture that complexity, and she’s sure Riley can pull it off. Considering it sort of feels like she just described her life story, Riley seems a little less uncertain than before.

As Riley heads out to go initial and accept the role, she hangs back and asks the question as to why Angela is taking an extended absence anyway. Seeing as she’s the performing student the least likely to blow an emotional gasket, Angela decides she can share the truth with her. She tells her about the auditions she is going out for which will keep her out during afternoon rehearsals, and how the conflicts just grow more pressing during dress rehearsal week. But she trusts Shawn. She’s sure it’ll be fine.

When Riley double checks that she’ll be there for opening night, Angela assures her there’s no doubt about it. Taking her at her word, Riley accepts this, wishing Angela luck. If anyone at AAA deserves to pursue their dreams, it may as well be the teacher helping them all foster theirs.

INT. MATTHEWS APARTMENT - NIGHT

Things at the Matthews apartment are… disarmingly comfortable. With the divorce paperwork in development, it seems that TOPANGA LAWRENCE and CORY MATTHEWS have managed to reach some semblance of normalcy again. No longer feeling trapped, perhaps it’s easier to maintain a cordial attitude.

In fact, in some ways it’s more than that. Weirdly enough, they seem back to the way that Riley always knew them. At ease, cracking jokes, poking fun at each other in a way that isn’t laced with harsh truth. Dinner feels normal, for once.

When Riley mentions that she got the role of Eponine in the musical, the whole family offers their congratulations. AUGGIE MATTHEWS offers her a high-five, which she takes. Topanga states that she’s proud of her, and commends her for putting herself out there. She then launches into all the steps Riley should take to prepare for the role, never one to pass up on giving guidance…

Still, Riley doesn’t mind. It’s nice to eat dinner without feeling as though the house is going to crumble on top of you at any moment. She smiles as Topanga rattles on, taking a bite of her meal and sharing a smile with her brother.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Riley is running around backstage after “Master of the House” wraps a run through, getting ready for the next number. She dodges a shoulder bump from Maya, glancing over her shoulder at her before getting distracted by Charlie. He pulls her into places with him backstage, the two of them gearing up for their next scene.

Charlie makes a couple of cracks about how it’s only fitting that they would end up playing complicated love interests. Riley fires back that if that’s the case, the roles should be reversed considering she was never the one carrying around unrequited love… but the banter is more natural and relaxed than it’s ever been between them. Both of them finally on the same page, it seems, and knowing it’s all in jest.

Riley comments that he and Zay seem to have become pretty good friends, which seems to shock Charlie at first. He asks why she would say that, and when she gives a list of very reasonable and normal observations, he relaxes. He agrees to the sentiment, stating that Zay is amazing and it’s nice to have another friend who appreciates dance and all that jazz. Riley states that it’s nice to see Zay having another friend who appreciates him for how great he is.

Charlie seconds the notion, before holding out his hand. Prepared to run on stage with her as the best-friends-yet-not-quite-lovers their roles demand. Riley returns his smile and then takes it, jumping into character as the two of them emerge from behind the set and into the lights.

INT. MATTHEWS APARTMENT - NIGHT

Riley is helping Topanga cook dinner, the two of them actually enjoying a pleasant conversation for the first time in months. Truly, the lack of tension between her parents is more of a blessing than she ever realized.

As the topic of discussion drifts to the musical, Topanga starts giving her unsolicited tips on how she improve her performance again. Despite having never been a performer herself, giving counsel is how she shows love, so that’s what she’s going to give.

When Riley claims she’s mostly going to rely on channeling emotion from the heart and empathize with the character, Topanga sort of laughs the notion down. She claims that you can’t rely on false or fictionalized foundations to give a good performance, there has to be some truth to it, doesn’t there? Don’t be silly, Riley.

Riley starts to defend herself, but Topanga has already moved onto the next ream of advice. It’s clear that when it comes to her mother, Riley definitely has trouble standing her ground.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

At rehearsal, Riley is finishing up a rehearsal of “On My Own.” Given the contradictory counsel from her mother, she’s lost in her head and the performance is weaker than it could be.

Shawn attempts to give her feedback, but he’s not as skilled a director as Angela and struggles to find the right way to phrase it. Maya jumps in with a backhanded comment of her own.

Shawn: There’s just something about it that’s not right. It needs more… you just need a little bit… I think that if you –

Riley: … so I should… ?

Shawn: … Try harder?

Maya: Sometimes it’s just about matching the right performer to the role.

Riley tries to ignore the insinuation, insisting to Shawn that she’ll try harder next time. He gives her a thumbs up, hoping that whatever that means it’ll be what the production needs. Then he shoots Maya a look, discouraging the negative commentary.

As she spins away from them, Riley lets the frustration and hurt hit her for a moment. Then she bottles it back up, marching offstage.

As she makes her way through the backstage where the techies are hard at work, she runs into Lucas as he’s in the process of helping Nate and Dave get a set piece finalized. It’s clear he’s in full manager mode, balancing a million and one things on his plate and only half-listening to what she’s saying.

They get through half a conversation about how the stage managing is going before he even looks at her, zeroing in on the fact that part of her costume is messed up. He comments on it, and before Riley can even question it he reaches forward and begins fixing it. She totally loses her train of thought as he undoes the belt around her waist and and adjusts it correctly, wholly focused on the show aspects and not even thinking about other possible implications of such a gesture. He offhandedly asks her how her rehearsal process is going, to which she sort of stammers out half a response.

Then he’s done, already jogging off to fix the next thing. Riley stands there, dumbstruck and a little out of breath. She spins around, trying to remember what she was even supposed to be doing in the first place.

INT. MATTHEWS APARTMENT - NIGHT

Riley is helping Auggie with homework, half paying attention and half reading through her script again. It’s dog-eared and got a dozen colorful tabs stuck in it, so it’s evident she’s gone over it multiple times.

Auggie manages to regain her full attention when he pops the question of whether she thinks Cory and Topanga are calling off the divorce. This catches Riley completely off-guard, prompting her to ask him what he’s talking about. He goes on to point out that they’ve been getting along great lately, and they haven’t argued in weeks. Doesn’t that mean things are going back to normal? Couldn’t that mean it’s all going to be okay?

This stuff is hard enough to grasp as a teenager – it’s clear it makes no sense to a nine-year-old and he’s desperately trying to make sense of it. Riley looks at her brother, suddenly overwhelmed and clueless with how to handle the situation. She can’t look at him and break his heart, but she doesn’t want to build false hope and lie either. So she escapes instead.

Riley: I… I need some air. I’m going for a walk.

Auggie: But dinner is in twenty minutes.

Riley: [ already out the door ] I’ll… yeah. I just need some air.

INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

The moment Riley shuts the door behind her, she begins frantically making her way down the hall. Then she realizes she has no idea where she’s going, pacing and trying to figure out where she wants to go. Anywhere but here, that’s for sure.

She pulls out her phone, scrolling through her contacts before hesitating. She only waits a second before dialing, raising the phone to her ear and waiting impatiently.

Riley: [ into the phone ] Hey, are you busy? I… I just need a second –

INT. AAA - TECHNICIAN’S BOOTH - NIGHT

Lucas saunters back into the space, holding the door open for Riley to follow him inside. She steps back in with mild trepidation, obviously not sure she would ever be back here after 1.08.

As he settles into his usual chair, Lucas gestures for Riley to take the other seat he’s not planning to occupy. She does so, hesitantly, although her comfort will grow over the duration of the scene. Glancing out the window towards the stage, it’s odd but not unwelcome to see it darkened and empty. A moment of peace in a setting usually flooded with chaos.

Lucas occupies the space with deep familiarity, reaching in his file cabinet drawer. He tosses Riley a snack with a quick “think fast,” which she just barely manages to catch in time. He pulls one for himself as well, getting comfortable and pulling his manager binder back onto his lap to continue taking notes.

Riley: So… this is really it, huh? You really just hang out in here like this all the time.

Lucas: Well, you’re here too, aren’t you? You’re the one who asked to come here.

Riley: … touché.

Another stretch of silence. Riley watches him work for a second, before broaching the topic of how stage managing is going. Lucas laughs rather than answering the question, to which Riley expresses indignation. Is it so horrible of her to ask how things are going?

Lucas: Am I really supposed to believe you just dropped by here because you were dying to hang out in this musty booth with yours truly?

Riley: Well it… it’s not without its charms.

Lucas raises his eyebrows at her. Not buying it. Sensing that he’s going to see right through any excuse she makes up, Riley relents and slowly opens up about how being at home got so overwhelming. It starts with the moment with Auggie, before snowballing into a full ramble about her parents, and the whole mess of a situation, and how she just feels so trapped.

He just lets her vent, listening attentively but not commenting. When she runs out of steam, she takes a moment to collect herself before apologizing for rambling. She tends to do that. He tells her that it’s fine, before asking her what exactly she wants to hear from him. What does she want him to say? She isn’t sure, so Lucas warns her he’s just going to say exactly what he’s thinking.

First, he gives her something resembling advice and states plainly that she should seriously learn to stand up for herself. Like, yeah, keeping the peace is admirable, but it’s not her job and it’s not worth getting crushed over. Literally or metaphorically.

Riley: Well, of course you wouldn’t think so. Mister Techie Revolution.

Lucas raises his hands in surrender, taking this criticism and acknowledging it’s truth. Then he switches gears, saying what she actually needed to hear – that the situation sucks. It sucks, and he’s sorry that she has to deal with it. He has a sense of how it feels when your house doesn’t feel like a home, so he’s genuinely sympathetic.

The simple act of validation is more than enough. Already a little better than before, Riley nods along before offering him a grateful smile.

Out of things to say, Lucas claims he really does have to get back to work. Being a stage manager is a hell of a lot of work, believe it or not. Riley asks if she can hang around still – she promises to be quiet – and he allows it if she really wants to waste her evening doing nothing.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “On My Own” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Riley Matthews

Lucas goes back to his binder, Riley settling into the quiet. She tries to shift her gaze elsewhere, but it inevitably ends up drifting back to him.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Riley performs a full rehearsal of the powerhouse anthem to unrequited love, delivering it with much more emotion and passion than her first few attempts. It’s clear she’s tapped into the headspace she needed, and she’s singing from the heart rather than getting lost in her mind. Wonder where that new emotion could possibly be stemming from…

Once she finishes the number, Shawn applauds her for an obviously improved performance. She breaks into a breathless grin.

INT. AAA - GIRLS DRESSING ROOM - DAY

As Riley floats in to grab her things for her costume change, she runs into Maya again. She has another snide comment to make, only this time Riley isn’t taking it. She’s got the adrenaline of a great performance in her veins and the advice of Lucas rattling around in her brain, and it pushes her to be bold and stand up for herself.

Riley, fiercely: Stop talking to me like that.

Maya is surprised that she’s firing back. Riley essentially pops off on Maya for the way she and the rest of the performers have treated her since she arrived at AAA, particularly the way they hand out and withhold friendship like it’s a bartering tool rather than a basic human decency with any actual meaning.

Riley: I’m sorry if you feel like you’re losing control. I’m sorry if you feel threatened, believe me, I’m quite familiar with both. But I’m not a dartboard, and I’m done taking your jabs whenever you need something to take your aggression out on. Either change your behavior – which is what I would recommend – or find someone else to play punching bag. I’m done with it!

Maya is stunned, out of words to respond. Riley grabs her costume change, bundling it in her arms and storming out of the room. On her way to pass Farkle…

PART IV: “Sweet Jesus, Hear My Prayer”

INT. AAA - HALLWAY - DAY

We’re back with Charlie in the moment he discovers he’s been granted the role of Marius, and the look of excitement on his face is genuine. He didn’t get a large role last year aside from dance captain, so he’s ready for the chance to really take center stage.

His enthusiasm only grows when Zay gives him a congratulatory hug. He returns it, patting him on the back and letting the hug linger. When they pull apart, the two of them eagerly discuss what they’re going to do for their first out-of-school hangout together. As they head back into the auditorium, they have a somewhat odd but endearing exchange about the whole thing when Charlie asks what exactly they should do.

Zay: I don’t know, stuff friends do? It’s not that deep, from what I understand.

Charlie: No, yeah, for sure. I just – I’ve only ever really hung out with Haley and Clarissa, and Yogi one time. That was weird. Oh, and friends from church. Somehow, I don’t think any of those prior experiences would be interesting to you.

Zay: God, literally, who are you. Look, I’ll just pick something and it’ll be a big surprise for you because clearly you’re not yet ready for that much Fun Responsibility.

Zay gives him a bracing pat on the shoulder, leaving him in the wings to head to the audience. Charlie watches him go, unable to hold back his grin.

INT. GARDNER HOME - DINING ROOM - NIGHT

That evening, Charlie has dinner with his family in their rather regal and well-organized dining room. While they’re rather proper and polished, it’s evident that there is genuine love between all members of the Gardner clan while they converse and share a meal. ELEANOR GARDNER (50s) guides the conversation, certainly the matriarch of the family.

Across the way from Charlie, AMBROSE GARDNER (50s) quietly enjoys his dinner and smiles along as his daughters ramble on about their days. Soft-spoken and genial, Ambrose is a gentle and loving father and it’s clear that Charlie deeply values their relationship. As his only son, it goes without saying that the feeling is mutual.

After his younger sisters, ROSAMUND GARDNER (13) and DAISY GARDNER (11) finish arguing about something inane – which Ambrose exchanges a goofy look with him over – Charlie pipes up and explains that he got the role of Marius in the school production of Les Mis.

The family congratulates him, Eleanor more than elated. She claims she’s going to brag all about it at mass on Sunday, and Ambrose notes they’ll have to let their eldest sister Agatha know so that she and her fiance John can come down from upstate to see opening night.

Charlie hesitantly questions whether or not they think Bridgette will come, and the room immediately takes on a new tension. Rosamund and Daisy exchange a look, obviously curious what their parents are going to say. Eleanor and Ambrose sort of seize up, having a tacit exchange of their own before opting to avoid the question. It’s clear this subject is a sore and tricky one in the Gardner household.

Rosamund: Why would Bridgette come home for yet another one of your musicals when she hasn’t been back since she left for college last year?

Eleanor: You know what, I think it’s time for dessert. I’m going to go grab the leftover pies from the book club – Ambrose, ice cream on yours? Girls?

Charlie allows the conversation to shift, but it’s clear he’s not satisfied with how his question went unanswered. Something about it is haunting him, not able to let it go.

INT. DINER - DAY

Charlie meets up with Zay for their first bros being bros outing, hitting up a diner in Queens where Zay lives. It’s not like Chubbie’s, which is always populated with kids from school, so it allows for the hangout to be a bit more secluded and relaxed.

Mostly, Charlie is excited to be in a different part of town and doing something totally out of his ordinary routine. He’s all smiles and enthusiasm as he digs into his diner grub, continually looking out the window at the world of Queens passing them by. Zay is amused by how dazzled he is by seemingly inane things.

Zay: Glad we got a window seat, then.

Charlie: This is so lit. Also these fries are bomb. It’s a good thing I don’t live here, or I’d never be able to be a dancer.

Zay: Yeah, I can tell. You’re like a vacuum cleaner over there.

Charlie: I’d give up my career for these fries. I’m gonna marry these fries and move to a villa out in the countryside to live out the rest of our days in blissful matrimony.

The waitress comes in to check on them, sharing a friendly and familiar rapport with Zay. He also suggests that she may want to bring an extra plate of fries out, as his meal companion is going to need some to go. As she saunters off, Charlie smiles at him. Obviously charmed.

A song comes on over the sound system that both of them, the two of them getting into a lively discussion about the artist. Zay is evidently thrilled to have the conversation, serving how much he can brighten when he has a friend who shares his interests but isn’t, well, insane.

Charlie notes how they’re making a jukebox movie musical featuring their music, and it’s coming out around the same time as opening night. In fact, he’s pretty certain it’s the same night. He pulls out his phone to search and confirm. Zay suggests that, provided Les Mis doesn’t kill them prematurely, they should go together after opening night. They know it’s going to be awful, so they can go and totally critique the shit out of it. Charlie, feeling comfortable in this new space and good about this new dynamic, says it’s a deal. They even shake on it.

INT. GARDNER HOME - CHARLIE’S ROOM - NIGHT

Back from his hangout, Charlie goes and makes an addendum to his well-used and obsessively organized wall calendar. He makes a note underneath the date for opening night, adding his outing with Zay. He’s clearly excited about it.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Rehearsals for the musical progress in a time lapse, progressing in a similar fashion to the way they did throughout the course of the previous stories. The costumes and lighting begin to take shape, the set rising behind the actors as the techies work their way through building it.

EXT. NEW YORK CITY - DAY

While time lapses in the auditorium, Charlie and Zay also continue to build their friendship outside the walls of AAA. They try different food stops, check out some art exhibitions, do all the things that “friends do,” as Zay so eloquently put it. They also start texting a lot more.

Through all of these interactions, Charlie truly comes alive. He’s more uninhibited and genuinely happy than he’s been all season, showing off smiles that would truly earn the “nicest smile” moniker he earned from last year’s yearbook.

INT. CHARLIE’S CHURCH - DAY

The Gardners are attending Sunday mass, chatting with other churchgoers after the main congregation. It’s evident that this is a solid and tight-knit community for Charlie and his family, and he feels relatively comfortable in their midst. Still, he’s a teenager, and the chatting of older community members can only hold his attention for so long.

He zones out, checking his phone when a text from Zay comes through. He smiles upon reading it, starting to type out a reply when his father sidles up next to him and asks what he’s got that goofy grin going for. Charlie panics, stuffing his phone in his pocket and searching for an excuse.

Charlie: No I was just – I was reading an article. Funny. A funny article.

Ambrose thinks nothing of the moment, commenting that Eleanor is bragging about him and his role in the musical again. The two of them exchange a knowing look, Charlie smiling and claiming he should probably making an appearance then. Ambrose winks, nodding him along.

Charlie weaves his way through the crowd, accepting greetings from acquaintances as he goes. When he finally joins his mother, she’s holding court with three or four other women in their 50s or older. They all evidently adore him, gushing over how talented he is and how darn cute he seems to get every time they see him. How could he possibly get cuter? Doesn’t seem possible! Naturally, this somehow seems to drift into the subject of his current single status.

Danielle: I cannot believe you don’t have a girlfriend. Sweet and good-looking boy like you, it’s a miracle you haven’t been snatched up.

Trina: Mm hm. If you were our age, when we were growing up? You would’ve been off the market in minutes.

Danielle: Seconds!

Maitland: You know, if you’re at all interested, you should definitely let me introduce you to my daughter. She never comes to mass because her violin lessons are at the same time –

Danielle: Please, he doesn’t want a sinner for a girlfriend if she can’t even attend mass properly. You should meet my granddaughter. Now there’s a match made in heaven, I’m telling you.

Eleanor, playfully: Ladies, he’s my son, not a piece of meat!

Charlie: Truly, I’m honored. But I’m sure your daughter and granddaughter have plans of their own for their romantic endeavors.

Still, the issue continues to be pushed. A couple of them ask Charlie why he hasn’t found a girlfriend yet, to which he doesn’t have an answer. He’s never even really asked himself that question, only now that it’s in his face he’s certain he should have an answer.

Danielle: Oh, don’t you just remember it? The way you feel when you’re with your first steady. All the butterflies, and the way your palms sweat. Oh, when you meet the one, you sure just know.

Charlie laughs awkwardly, claiming that when he gets that feeling with a girl he’ll be sure to follow through on it with them in mind. They all titter along with him. Oh, charming, cheeky Charlie Gardner! Ha ha ha.

EXT. MOVIE THEATER - NIGHT

Zay and Charlie are in line for the movies, comfortably discussing the other posters on display. Zay points out the promotional poster for the dance movie, reminding him of their plans to see it in just a few weeks. Charlie assures him he didn’t forget, and jokingly places a bet on whether this film will be better or worse than that one is guaranteed to be.

Charlie zones out as Zay continues the conversation, getting fixated on him as he speaks. Like, he’s paying attention to him, yet he doesn’t actually know anything Zay just said. It’s a weird moment, and Charlie has to shake it off before they head into the theater.

INT. MOVIE THEATER - SCREENING ROOM - NIGHT

Based on Zay’s bemused expression as the film unfolds in front of them, it’s clearly just as bad if not worse than the dance film is supposedly going to be. But for whatever reason, Charlie is still distracted. He keeps glancing at Zay’s reactions to the film rather than the film itself, and he’s suddenly oddly restless.

He starts to hit on every little thing that Danielle mentioned. He’s got butterflies, and he keeps wiping his palms on the knee of his jeans. He can’t seem to move on from the fact that their elbows are touching on the arm rest.

Zay leans over to whisper something to him about the movie, and this totally catches Charlie off-guard. His stomach flips, and whoa, Zay’s face is so close to his. He glances at him, then down at his lips. And the moment he realizes he did, he jumps up from his seat.

Zay: Dude, are you okay?

Charlie: I – I think I’m gonna be sick.

Charlie darts out of the row, taking the steps two at a time and disappearing. Zay gets up and starts to go after him, before a movie-goer snaps at him and tells him to get out of the way.

Zay: It’s a bad movie. What are you missing? I’m doing you a favor.

INT. MOVIE THEATER - BATHROOM - NIGHT

Charlie bursts into the restroom, sliding to the furthest stall and locking himself inside. He paces the small confines of the stall and tries to calm his breathing, and there’s a moment where he really does think he might throw up. He drops to his knees, but the nausea passes, leaving a cold sweat in its place.

Charlie collapses back against the wall, pulling his knees up to his chest. He looks at his hands, which are clammy and trembling slightly. He’s never felt like this before, and it’s clear he’s not a fan of it. Although, it was all spurred by other feelings he’d never felt before…

INT. MOVIE THEATER - NIGHT

When Charlie emerges, Zay is leaning against the wall outside and patiently waiting for him. He straightens up the moment he sees him, concern alight in his features as he asks if he’s okay. Charlie examines him, trying to get his brain to work properly again.

Charlie: I think… I think I just need to go home.

Zay: Okay. Okay, yeah, of course. Well, let me walk you –

Charlie: No I’ll just – I’m just gonna call an Uber. Thanks though.

Zay seems like he wants to argue, still worried. But he relents, claiming he’ll see him at school tomorrow anyway. Charlie returns the sentiment in a daze, already making a beeline for the exit.

INT. GARDNER HOME - KITCHEN - NIGHT

Charlie is seated at the counter, already in his pajamas and listlessly munching on toast. He’s sipping cola in an effort to settle his stomach. Ambrose enters searching for a late night snack, taking in the scene with a hint of amusement.

Ambrose: Wow, cola. For the dancer? You must really not be feeling well.

Charlie: You have no idea.

Ambrose expresses sympathy that Charlie had to leave his hangout with his friend early. When he settles into making a snack across the counter, Charlie ventures the question of whether his father knew he had feelings for his mother right away. Did he know in an instant, or did it take some time for him to come around in recognizing his feelings?

Ambrose claims he always had a tenacity towards the girls as he got older in high school.

Ambrose: I mean, it was Catholic school – you’ve seen those uniforms, right?

Charlie: Ha ha. Yeah. Totally.

That remark aside, Ambrose states that he didn’t really know how major those feelings could be until he actively started pursuing them. Like, it took having his first kiss and beginning to explore that side of things that he really started to recognize them more adeptly.

Charlie internalizes this, figuring maybe that’s the solution. He simply hasn’t been trying hard enough. If he wants to like girls the way everyone else seems to expect him to, maybe he just needs to be actively pursuing them. Then he’ll feel it, and it’ll work itself out.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “A Heart Full Of Love�� as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Charlie Gardner (feat. Yindra Amino & Riley Matthews)

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Lucky for Charlie, he has a kiss essentially scripted into his future for him. He and Yindra have yet to practice their kiss after “A Heart Full of Love,” so it’s the perfect excuse to put this whole thing to rest. So as the number unfolds at their dress rehearsal, never having been discussed beforehand, Charlie ends the number by taking Yindra’s face in his hands and kissing her.

From the outsider perspective, it appears very impassioned. Yindra is obviously surprised, and Riley’s jaw sort of drops from her spot on the stage, totally disrupting the flow of the number. In the wings, the rest of the class reacts accordingly. The girls are shocked, and a few disappointed.

Lucas makes a face, as does Zay next to him. He was definitely getting some vibes… but then, maybe he read the whole situation wrong. It’s unclear how exactly he feels about that.

When they break apart, it’s evident that the surprise lip lock has thrown the whole dress rehearsal into disarray. No one is really sure what to do next, so much to the point that Shawn prompts them to move onto the next scene. It’s a dress rehearsal, they can’t stop people! Lucas motivates everyone to get going, starting the next set change.

Lucas: Have you all never seen a kiss before? What are you, third graders?

Nigel, in passing: Like you’ve ever kissed anybody.

Lucas: Hey. Hey! Shut the hell up.

INT. AAA - BOYS DRESSING ROOM - DAY

Farkle and Zay are already in the dressing room when Charlie enters, somewhat dazed from his kissing expedition. They commend him on making such a bold choice, opting to just get it out of the way rather than make a big deal about it. And it sure uh, looked believable. Zay is called out for the next scene, brushing by Charlie as he goes.

But as continued conversation with Farkle reveals, Charlie is a good actor. Because it was not nearly as passionate as it seemed. Charlie states that he didn’t feel anything, clearly dejected by this admission. Farkle isn’t sure what the major drama is, but he tries to put a positive spin on it for him.

Farkle: Hey, man. I mean, it’s okay. You’re not supposed to actually feel things for your co-stars. That’s what bad actors do.

Charlie: Ha, yeah. No, yeah, totally. You’re right.

Still, Charlie isn’t satisfied. Farkle is called onto stage as well, leaving him alone to ruminate.

INT. GARDNER HOME - CHARLIE’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Charlie crosses off another day on his calendar, leaving only one left before opening night. As he goes and climbs into bed, Eleanor appears in the doorway to wish him goodnight. She tells him how excited the whole family is for tomorrow, and that Agatha will be able to make it along with her husband. Isn’t that just lovely?

It’s nice news, but Charlie can’t concentrate. He abruptly changes the subject, blankly asking her why they don’t speak to Bridgette anymore. She’s been gone less than year, and it’s like she’s been gone forever. Just totally scrubbed out of the family tree.

Eleanor can tell this subject isn’t going to be dropped easily. She sighs, cracking the door behind her and coming to join Charlie on the edge of the bed. She treads the topic cautiously, starting off with the statement that Bridgette was always the more stubborn of the five of them. As it stands right now, she’s made… choices while away that she knows they don’t agree with. She’s made these choices of her own free will, and it’s difficult to try and level with her when she’s in a place of such sin in her life right now. It’s trying, but that’s the way it is.

Eleanor emphasizes that they still love her, and she’s still family. But choices have consequences, and right now, she’s choosing to live with those. Unsurprisingly, this does not make Charlie feel better at all. As he settles into bed and his mother bids him goodnight, it seems as though he’s going to be getting very little sleep the night before opening…

PART V: “Sweet Jesus Doesn’t Care”

INT. AAA - SHAWN’S OFFICE - DAY

As Maya is storming out, Lucas is making his way into Shawn’s office. They bump into one another, once again prompting Maya’s harsh rhetoric.

Maya: Are your two left boots incapable of walking too? Get out of my way, gothic Butch Cassidy.

Lucas raises his eyebrows as she flounces away, turning his amused expression to Shawn.

Lucas: What did you do to her? You run over her brand new puppy, or what?

Shawn: Why, you actually concerned for one of them?

Lucas: No, I was kind of hoping I could take credit for it. It’s so funny when they pop off like that.

Shawn rolls his eyes, gesturing for Lucas to come in anyway when he states he asked to see him. He explains that with Isadora now in the show as an actress, they’re going to need someone to step into the role of manager. He’d like to offer him the position. Lucas is reluctant, obviously not certain himself if he’s cut out for such a major responsibility.

Lucas: Are you sure that’s a good idea? I mean, I don’t even know what show we’re doing.

Shawn: … seriously?

Lucas: Look, you think I pay attention to any of this? If I could get away with wearing ear plugs all day, I would.

Valid point. Still, they need someone who can take charge and Lucas has more than proven his ability to lead. Considering he orchestrated a full-on revolution, Shawn posits he could handle one small production. After a few more words of flattery and a brief pause, Lucas agrees.

INT. AAA - JACK’S OFFICE - DAY

Understandably, not everyone is entirely sold on Lucas’s step into such an important leadership position. Thus, Lucas ends up opposite JACK HUNTER in his office once again, although this time he at least is not in trouble. Jack simply wants to confirm that he intends to take the role seriously, as there are a lot of stakes – and money – being poured into this production.

Jack: I’m only clarifying that you realize the importance of the position you’re being offered. I need to know that you’re going to take this seriously, because I don’t want to have to clean up the mess if you get irritated or bored with it and let it derail.

Lucas: Oh, how I do enjoy our little chats. Your confidence in me is earth-shattering.

Jack: I’m just being realistic. I know you don’t care about the show.

Lucas: Oh, no, not at all. You’re not wrong about that. [ after a beat ] But I do care about my crew. This reflects back on all of us, and I know it’s important to them. So I’m not going to let them down.

Honestly, that’s probably the one thing Jack can believe. Choosing to trust that Lucas is going to take the role seriously, he gives the green light. Lucas is officially the stage manager for Les Mis.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Lucas saunters into rehearsal, meeting with the techie brigade in their usual spot. Isadora’s absence is duly noted.

Jade: It’s weird without Isadora… [ glancing around ] and heavy on the testosterone.

But the show must go on, and so they will learn to operate without her. Dave hands Lucas a copy of the script.

Dave: It’s “The Miserables.”

Lucas: Oh, so it’s autobiographical.

Once Lucas is done snickering at his own joke, the group of them get down to business and make sure they’re all on the same page. Then, when there’s no more ducks to put in a row, Lucas exhales a pointed sigh.

Lucas: Okay. Let’s put on a fucking musical.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Little People” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Nick Yogi (feat. AAA Sophomores)

Focus jumps to the stage, where Yogi in his role as Gavroche is leading this jaunty and upbeat number. While he leads the company, the techies work on putting together the show in the background. It’s the most pointed time lapse of the episode, showing the full-on construction of the technical aspects from week one through to dress rehearsal.

As the number ends, we’re deep within dress rehearsal week. Yogi and the company are in full costume, Yogi throwing a fist in the air as he’s lifted onto the shoulders of his castmates.

INT. LUCAS’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Lucas is coming back late from school, dress rehearsals keeping them well into the night. As he unlocks the door and steps into the tiny entryway, it’s clear that he’s actually having a good time with how the show is unfolding. He’s even humming “Master of the House” as he makes his way in, shutting the door behind him. Yes, Lucas Friar, humming!

The moment he turns to face the rest of the apartment, however, his humming trails off. Something about it doesn’t feel quite right, and he immediately tenses up. Pieces of the scenery begin to jump out at him as his eyes adjust to the dark – some of the furniture in the living room is askew. There’s a broken object on the floor that he nearly steps on, porcelain lightly crunching underneath his boot. He kneels down to investigate, recognizing the vase that used to sit on the side table by the door now shattered on the hardwood.

Lucas takes on a more cautious stance, zeroing in on the one light glaring from the kitchen. He calls out for his mom, but there’s no answer. Getting to his feet, he apprehensively approaches the other room. The closer he gets, the slower he moves… his hand drifts to his pocket, grip closing around the switchblade…

INT. LUCAS’S APARTMENT - KITCHEN - NIGHT

Thankfully, he doesn’t need the weapon, but that’s where the good news ends. Although we don’t see his mother, it’s clear from the way his expression shifts into panic that she isn’t in good shape. Kenneth Friar has certainly breezed through, that much is certain.

Lucas immediately calls out to her, scrambling to his knees and launching into action.

INT. AAA - JACK’S OFFICE - DAY

Lucas is back in his usual spot across the desk, alone in the office. He’s staring at the desktop, tapping his finger against the arm of the chair. Sort of present, but his mind is elsewhere.

When Jack steps in it startles him, causing him to jump. He clears his throat to cover to display of discomfort, locking eyes with Jack as he settles into the desk across from him. The whole thing is far more somber than usual, making it all feel even more disorienting.

Jack explains that Eric updated him on what happened. He’s grateful to hear that Grace is going to be okay. He also wants to know if Lucas is feeling okay, or is willing to share anymore about what he saw or experienced.

Lucas doesn’t respond. He keeps zoning out, currently focused on the small floral arrangement Jack has on the edge of his desk. It looks kind of like vase that used to be in his apartment…

Jack carries on, also stating that as far as he understands it, this isn’t the first time things like this have happened in the Friar household. Still nothing from Lucas. Jack sighs, changing tact instead and asking Lucas if there’s anything he thinks they can do for him.

Lucas: [ tearing his gaze from the flowers ] … Huh?

Jack, patiently: Is there anything we can do for you? Anything that you need, or that I can –

Lucas: No. [ defensive ] No, no. I’m fine. I don’t need anything.

Jack: Just, considering the circumstances –

Lucas: I’m fine. I don’t see why you would bother to ask now, since no one has ever bothered to care much before.

Jack: That’s not –

Jack begins the argument, before realizing it’s a futile effort. It’s not the time, and Lucas is in no state to be launching into debates about something so sensitive. Especially when he can hardly get him to hold a conversation. He instead opts to reiterate the point that Lucas is seen, they see him, and there are options. There are systems in place to help him, all he has to do is ask.

Lucas blinks, opening his mouth to say something. Jack hesitates, hoping it’ll pave the way for a solution. Any sort of progress.

Lucas: … I have to get to rehearsal.

He gets to his feet still in a daze, leaving the office without dismissal. Jack doesn’t fight him, but it’s evident he wishes there was more he could do.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Bring Him Home” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Zay Babineaux & Jack Hunter

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Zay starts off the sentimental, protective ballad, in full costume and dress for the show. His performance is stellar, channeling all the emotion and depth of Jean Valjean seemingly effortlessly. It’s a tough portrayal to beat.

INT. AAA - JACK’S OFFICE - DAY

Still, nothing is more raw than experiencing the actual emotions of such a character. It’s not the French revolution, but Jack feels a distinct sense of dread and ache as he watches Lucas saunter off, feeling helpless to actually aid him in a way he needs it.

The phrases “He’s like the son I might’ve known, if God had granted me a son,” and “Bring him peace, bring him joy, he is young, he is only a boy” ring particularly true.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Zay brings the number to a close, demonstrating his lovely falsetto.

INT. AAA - TECHNICIAN’S BOOTH - DAY

Lucas is asleep in his chair, having dozed off while working on last minute details for the production. Isadora pokes her head in, having come by early opening night to rehearse one last time. Her entrance spooks him and accidentally wakes him up, Isadora immediately apologizing as he reorients himself with reality. He waves her off, disregarding the apology.

The two of them hang in the quiet for a moment, before Lucas informs her cheekily that this job she does ain’t easy. She’s like oh, no kidding, but she’s smiling as she does. When he expresses some doubt in his ability to pull this off, Isadora quells those concerns and assures him that she can’t think of anyone else better suited to take over for her.

As she darts off, Lucas gives her a sentiment of good luck. Unfamiliar, but he’s trying.

Lucas: Good luck. Or break a leg. You know. Whatever they say on the other side of the tracks.

Lucas glances down at his script binder, taking a deep breath. Then he gets to his feet, descending from the booth as the rest of the cast begins to assemble for call time.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - DAY

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “One Day More” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by AAA Sophomores

The cast launches into the famous first act finale, all preparing for the emotional whirlwind that is sure to be opening night. It ties all of the stories together in preparation for the final act, everyone singing their roles and coming together as a cast and crew.

In fact, even Lucas gets his due. On the lyric “My place is here, I fight with you,” Lucas takes the solo as he steps up with his techie crew to brave the production as a team. Dylan, Asher, and Dave all clap him on the shoulders.

With resounding gusto, we launch into the remainder of the episode.

PART VI: “The Future That They Bring When Tomorrow Comes”

INT. AAA - ATRIUM - NIGHT

Opening night is upon us! There’s nerves and excitement in the air. Outside the auditorium, family and friends alike mill about and wait for the doors to open.

INT. AAA - DRESSING ROOM HALL - NIGHT

Performers and techies are both in a frenzy, adjusting last minute details and shouting for one another to fix mic packs or tweak costumes.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - NIGHT

Although the chaos continues onto the stage with the stagehands, the further out into the audience one goes the quieter it gets. Riley is making her way towards the back, jogging up the steps to the technician’s booth.

INT. AAA - TECHNICIAN’S BOOTH - NIGHT

Riley knocks lightly before poking her head inside, surprised to not find Lucas in his usual chair. She almost turns around, but just a little bit of further investigation solves the mystery for her.

Lucas is seated on the floor in front of the electrical cabinet, leaning back against it with his arms propped on his knees and eyes closed. It’s a setting of unequivocal quiet, a sharp contrast to the hectic nature of everything else.

It also gives Riley the distinct sense that she’s disrupting said quiet. She starts to tiptoe her way out, but Lucas already heard her come in.

Lucas: You just going to leave without saying goodbye? Seems a bit harsh for you.

Riley laughs sheepishly, stepping fully into the space as Lucas opens his eyes to look at her. She asks if she’s interrupting, which Lucas waves off. He’s just taking his pre-show bout of silence, and traditionally, no one is supposed to bother him during this ritual.

Riley: I didn’t mean to – I can come back –

Lucas: It’s fine. What do you want?

Riley takes the moment to thank him for being willing to listen the other day and allowing her into his space. She also appreciated his advice, and she doesn’t know how she’s going to be able to repay him for that.

Lucas: It wasn’t a big deal.

Riley: … well, it was to me. So, thank you.

After a moment, Lucas nods, accepting the gratitude. The quiet between them lingers, and there’s held eye contact. Soft eye contact, at that.

JEFF MONROE enters, obviously surprised to find another person already in the booth. He glances between them, giving Lucas a quizzical look before asking if he should come back. Not that he really has much time given they’re opening the doors in ten minutes, and someone needs to set up the lights…

Riley clears her throat, offering him a smile and claiming she was just leaving. She wishes both of them luck, certain that they’re going to kill it. Lucas returns the sentiment as he climbs to his feet, telling her to break a leg now that he’s practiced the sentiment more than once.

After she leaves, Jeff settles into the lighting board chair while Lucas gathers his things to head backstage. It’s impossible for Jeff not to make a comment.

Jeff, teasingly: I thought no one was allowed up here during pre-show quiet.

Lucas: Shut up.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - NIGHT

Isadora is in the wings, peeking through the curtain to watch the audience file in. The expression on her face makes it clear just how conflicted she is about the impending rise of the curtain.

Maya finds her, coming up behind her to take a look as well. It’s looking like a full house for opening night. She starts to comment on it, but Isadora pointedly steps away from her claiming she has nothing to say to her. Maya acknowledges this, stating that she’s right, but she hopes she’ll listen because she wants to apologize.

Maya goes on to state that they are too talented to be enemies, and she doesn’t want to create a reputation for herself as a diva who can’t uplift her fellow female powerhouses. If anything, they need to stick together. She says she is certain that Isadora is going to bring the house down – not because her mother is famous, but because she’s Isadora. Surname irrelevant.

Isadora doesn’t outright forgive her, but it’s clear that the sentiment is genuine. The orchestra begins to tune their instruments, casting quiet over the audience. Maya wishes her luck, disappearing deeper into the wings to take her places.

INT. AAA - DRESSING ROOM HALL - NIGHT

Charlie is with Yindra backstage, the latter giving him a note about cooling it on the kiss from here on out. She appreciates his initiative to just get it over with, but they want to look professional, not insane.

Farkle passes them, on the phone with his parents in full costume. He’s evidently stressed about whether or not they’re going to be present, and given how he’s responding to the other end of the line it doesn’t sound good. Dylan pokes his head, searching for Farkle and insisting that he take his place for his entrance because they’re almost to his opening scene.

Farkle swallows his disappointment, handing his phone to Yogi who runs it back to the dressing room. Then he squares his shoulders, stepping back into character. Cold, removed, a man of the law. He pushes through the stage doors.

INT. AAA - DRESSING ROOM HALL - NIGHT

The full cast and crew are assembled, Shawn giving them great praise for intermission and questioning if there’s anything they all need. As the group disperses and a few performers hang back to ask him questions, Charlie is surprised when his older sister AGATHA GARDNER (22) sneaks through the doors to greet him. His face immediately brightens, and he gratefully accepts her enthusiastic hug. She knows she’s not supposed to be backstage, but she wanted to tell him how amazing he’s doing so far.

Pulling her aside and with a semblance of privacy, Charlie asks if Bridgette was able to make it or not. Aggie’s face twitches with sympathy, and she essentially has to be the one to break the news to Charlie that Bridgette… isn’t coming anywhere for awhile. She fucked it up with mom and dad, and now she has to face the consequences. Nor does she seem particularly bent on winning back their good graces. That’s just the way it is.

Predictably, this news does not make Charlie feel better. Before Aggie can reassure him, the bell rings calling the audience back for Act 2. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and tells him to break a leg, disappearing back through the doors. The mild fear in his expression after their conversation does not bode well for him.

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - NIGHT

Farkle takes the stage for his final number, marching out into the bright lights. He scans the audience, hope still intact for the briefest of moments… before it crumbles to dust. No sign of his parents anywhere amongst the full crowd of spectators, they weren’t able to make it. Because of course they weren’t.

In the next instant, he jumps into the frantic, broken energy of his final solo downright effortlessly. Maybe, perhaps, because it doesn’t feel much like acting.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Javert’s Suicide: Soliloquy” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Farkle Minkus

Farkle completely chews up the scenery in his final scene, bringing down the house with a convincing portrayal of a man pushed to the brink. For having been in the background for most of the episode, the performance certainly serves to remind us why he’s at Adams at all.

When it comes to his “suicide jump,” Farkle simply backs his way off the set piece and allows himself to fall right into the shadows. As is typical of the production, the audience literally gasps based on how shocking the technical aspects make it appear to be.

Farkle lands safely on the cushion set up for him to catch his fall, but he looks pretty listless as he lays there in the darkness of the scenery. He stares up at the stage lights and catwalk dangling above him, not planning on moving anytime soon from the looks of it.

INT. AAA - BOYS DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT

Charlie is hiding in the dressing room, crouched up on the corner of the countertop and resting his head against the mirror. Dave startles him out of his fugue, informing him that there’s five minutes until “Empty Chairs,” so he should head to places soon. Charlie thanks him, jumping back to his feet and making sure his mic pack is still in place.

Zay enters, coming in to adjust his old age makeup for the finale. He compliments Charlie’s performance so far, stating that he’s killing it. Charlie returns the sentiment, somewhat robotically. Then, Zay says something that totally throws him off.

Zay: They hated it.

Charlie whips around to face him, uncertain. He asks what Zay means, and he quickly clarifies that he’s talking about the dance movie.

Zay: The movie. Critics hated it, it got horrible reviews. Totally panned. It’s gonna be hilarious to watch.

Charlie: Oh. Oh, yeah.

Zay: Can’t wait til after the show. Hope you’re ready for mediocrity in full-screen glory.

Charlie: Yeah. Yeah, ha ha.

Zay heads out, leaving him back in the dressing room alone. Charlie attempts to shake off this daze that has taken hold of him, but when he catches his reflection in the mirror, he gets stuck on it. He can’t seem to look away from it – it doesn’t feel like he’s looking at himself.

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Empty Chairs At Empty Tables” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by Charlie Gardner

Through his daze, Charlie starts a shaky and emotional rendition of the tragic final Marius solo. The sequence emphasizes his feeling of disconnect, how empty the space around him is…

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - NIGHT

Translating to a truly heart-wrenching performance on stage. Charlie channels Marius’s sense of grief powerfully, almost as if he can imagine what it would be like for all of your loved ones to suddenly disappear out of your life. Like he’s spent a lot of time pondering that potential end.

Tear-stained and emotionally raw, Charlie brings the performance to a close. The applause is resounding, but it sounds far away. After a moment, he gets himself to move and exits the stage.

INT. AAA - ATRIUM - NIGHT

Song Cue ♫ ♪ “Finale” as performed by Les Misérables Original London Cast || Performed by AAA Sophomores

As the instrumental to the first half underscores, the sophomore class emerges from the stage doors to greet their waiting audience in the atrium. It’s a joyful, energetic time, pride and love consuming every inch of the space as parents hug their talented students and flowers are handed in every direction.

Riley is greeted by Cory and Topanga, Auggie beating them to it and giving her a tight hug. She swings him around before focusing on her parents, accepting their hugs and kisses as well as flowers. Still, she feels torn between them.

Maya runs to greet Katy, who pulls her into a swaying hug. When they pull apart, she assures her that she was the star regardless of what role she had. Maya pulls her back into the embrace.

Farkle is wandering the space, accepting compliments from other families but feeling somewhat isolated. That is, until Angela appears through the crowd to offer him sincere congratulations. It’s such a relief to see her, and when she offers him a hug he returns the embrace tightly. From the emotional expression on his face, it’s clear the attention means more to him than he could ever accurately express.

Isadora is proceeding with caution through the throng of families, eyes widening when her most excited audience parts the crowd to meet her. It’s Valerie De La Cruz, in the flesh and in all her glamour. She managed to work out her schedule so she could come see the show, and she is so incredibly proud of Isadora.

Isadora doesn’t even know how to respond. She doesn’t know if she’s dreaming, or if this is a fever hallucination, or what. Luckily, she has an excuse to run away, stating that she has to take care of something real quick…

INT. AAA - DRESSING ROOM HALL - NIGHT

Maya catches up to Riley backstage, the latter expecting a snarky comment. Instead, Maya merely congratulates her on a great performance. She tells her it makes complete sense why she got the role, and she knows she’s going to continue to bring it with their remaining shows. A bit of a 180, but not unwelcome. Riley tentatively accepts the compliment.

INT. AAA - BOYS DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT

Zay is in the dressing room with the other boys, gathering his things and in an upbeat mood. Charlie’s stuff is already gone. He says goodbye to Nigel and Yogi as they head out, just as a text message comes through on his phone.

It’s from Charlie, and just one line. “I can’t.”

Zay stares at the message, his smile fading. He starts to type a response but then hesitates, not sure what he would even say. It’s not clear how he’s taking this development.

INT. AAA - TECHNICIAN’S BOOTH - NIGHT

Lucas is closing up the booth for the night, considering there’s no reason for him to be out in the atrium. Still, he’s making little progress. He’s sort of in a state of shock, stunned that he managed to pull off such a responsibility without fucking it up.

He crashes into his chair, looking out towards the stage. All poised and ready for the next night. There’s something oddly charming about it.

Isadora pokes her head in, wondering if he’s just about ready to go. He explains that he’s just finishing cleaning up, but yeah, should be soon. Isadora takes this as her cue, a grin creeping onto her face as she starts lightly singing the words to the closing number. “Do you hear the people sing? Lost in the valley of the night…”

Lucas spins around to give her a look, his disdain shifting to surprise when the rest of the techies join in on the vocalizing. They all cram into the booth, poorly but happily singing the closing lines in some sort of prideful tribute to congratulate Lucas on a job well done. He shakes his head, hiding his face behind his palm and grimacing, but it’s clear he’s endeared.

Lucas, embarrassed: You all can’t sing. Stop.

They continue on anyway, smiles wide as Dave steps forward carrying a cookie cake. He drops it down onto the table in front of Lucas, bearing a cheeky message of congratulations. They’re definitely pushing his reputation, because it’s evident that Lucas is touched.

The group of them break into applause, gearing up to share in the cookie together. Now, there’s a family. As the performers take over the vocalization…

INT. AAA - AUDITORIUM - NIGHT

The finale to the show unfolds on the stage, focus being drawn to each of our main players as they sing their hearts out in the emotional conclusion. Just off in the wings, Dylan and Asher lean forward to give Lucas bracing pats on the shoulder.

In the audience, Valerie makes eye contact with Isadora. Isadora blinks, not certain that she’s seeing her correctly. But she doesn’t go away. No, she is in fact there, as she’ll come to see in just a few minutes.

Who knows what all this will bring when tomorrow comes…

END OF EPISODE.

can you pretty please continue the Jay/Rae Pocahontas AU?? I loved it!!

Hello,

I can do that. Sorry it’s been a long wait, I’ve had a long few weeks. I hope you enjoy though! =)

Mutual Understandings…

Jason was going to have to go about coaxing his littleshadow to him, and that was clearly going to require patience as she alwaysseemed to be around him.

He started leaving things out at night for his curiouslittle shadow to look at.

They were usually returned the next day.

The day he heard her yelp; first sound she had made, was theday she took something he had not meant for her to see. He had run to the yelpand saw the girl mesmerized by the photograph she held in her slight hands. Sheseemed so utterly fascinated with it as her fingers traced over the picture hehad hidden in his bible he was shocked.

He took this moment to study her closely. She was astricking creature, long braided black hair, a raven’s feather in it, darkeyes, beauty in her bones. She was slight, probably under weight, and she hadlong legs.

She looked up at him and this was the first time he had seenher closely as she determinedly marched up to him and pointed to the picture athim.

“I’m Jason,” he chuckled and then she looked at the photoand he smiled at her utter fascination at the rare family photo he had kept.Her fingers slid over it with something akin to adoration before she pointed athim again.

“Jason.”

“Jesan,” she tested out. He chuckled at her annunciation,she frowned and arched a brow.

~~~*~*~*~~~

Kyle Rayner was peeved at being sent into the unknowns ofthe West; leaving the fort’s security and comfort with a tracker from a placecalled Libya; Simon Baz, to track down Jason Todd. Hal was concerned as no wordof Jason had been sent from their other out posts, and Guy refused to have totell some rich man that his idiot son was dead in a ditch in the desert. Kylecouldn’t blame the Texan for that frustration.

Freeman John Stewart was also coming with them, as was aMexican woman named Jessica Cruz. Kyle felt this was a bit excessive but keptthe opinion to himself.

Jason Todd was a war hero from the Civil War, and he was adangerous man, having saved countless American lives. It was also no secret thathis brothers had used the family business to operate, and fund the UndergroundRailroad, something John Stewart had used to gain his freedom. Kyle couldrespect that, he hadn’t been a Confederate, he had fought for the Union but hestill didn’t get why HE had to go find Jason Todd.

Still, this beat having Hal bitching about it and listeningto his commanding officer pining away for Carol Ferris; daughter of a big timeTexan Rancher.

He looked over at Jessica, she did not seem cut out for thewest with her nervous nature. But she spoke the local languages so she was ofuse. John Stewart was here to pay back the Waynes in his way. And Simon here totrack Jason, this was going to be a long trip.

~~~*~*~*~~~

Jason had noticed little things since his companion hatdemanded his name.

For one thing, she was stealthily bossy. She went aboutcleaning all his things; which had irked him because she had practically shovedhis shirt off of him before she had disappeared elsewhere with his bed roll andclothes. Another thing, she was a stealthy hunter, he discovered her bow andquiver of arrows by accident when he was trying to track down one of hismissing socks; only to find her doing his laundry; again.

She was a cook, not a very good one and that was one of thethings they had seemed to have a battle of wills about. But she relented themoment he cooked her trout he had caught. Then on, she shoved whatever shecaught, skinned and cured at him for cooking.

He called her Raven, mostly for the feather in her hair, andshe did not seem to mind. It took her a while for her to catch that he wascalling for her when he called for Raven, but overall they were good.

His horse liked her too, which he thought amusing as Ace hatedeveryone.

Which brought him to today as he watched Raven examining thestallion.

About a month of traveling on foot with Raven faithfullyfollowing him had lead to this as she sat on a rock, examining a fruit and Acepatiently waiting for his snack.

The stallion nudged Raven’s shoulder which had her lookingto the beast with a baleful stare of her own, which he thought amusing and bithis cheek to keep from laughing at the sight as he leaned on a tree to watchthe exchange between the woman and the horse.

Movement caught Jason’s eye which had his hand twitching forhis gun and he arched a brow at the movement. It was in the grass, moving low,he couldn’t make it out. He moved forward then, and Raven saw him, she twistedaround and then there was a chill down Jason’s spine as she stood slowly.

There was a roar, and he saw a mountain lion leap out of thetree line for Raven.

“RAVEN!” he screamed as he leapt for her then too, tacklingher just as claws sliced through his side having him and the cat rolling down aravine. Ace screamed as he no doubt bolted, and Raven was left on the ledge, hedidn’t see her as he rolled to his feet.

The massive predator was on it’s feet, ears flat, teethbared and claws exposed, Jason had a knife and felt woefully out of his depth.

The cat came at him, Jason fought, feeling the claws and teethtearing through his flesh before he got his gun and fired four shots in thebelly, collapsing under it’s dead weight.

“Jason!” a voice shouted as his world wavered.

Vax drive moving 'full throttle' in time for F2F class resumption

#PHnews: Vax drive moving 'full throttle' in time for F2F class resumption

MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday said the government’s national vaccination drive is moving at “full throttle” in time for the proposed face-to-face (F2F) pilot implementation.

Duterte made this assurance during the simultaneous inauguration of school buildings at the Gen. Gregorio H. Del Pilar Integrated School and Virginia Ramirez-Cruz High School in Barangay Sta. Ana in Bulakan, Bulacan.

“I assure you that the government is exerting all efforts to go full throttle in this Covid-19 vaccination program to ensure the safety of students before the resumption of the face-to-face learning,” he said in his speech.

On Wednesday, the Department of Education (DepEd) said students would only be allowed to stay in schools for a maximum of half a day should the proposed in-person classes dry run push through.

The pilot run in areas with low risk of Covid-19 infection was supposed to be implemented last January but was suspended due to the emergence of the more infectious UK variant of the virus.

Duterte recognized the DepEd, the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH), and the local government in the successful planning and construction of the new school buildings.

“Your collective efforts in this project have been crucial in creating a more conducive, inclusive and resident-learning environment for students of Bulacan. Our investment in education infrastructure affirms our continuing commitment to promote the right of the people to quality and accessible education at all levels,” he said.

He also emphasized the need to finish the construction of government infrastructure projects as scheduled.

“I reiterate the need to complete government structure projects on time and if possible, I am directing all concerned agencies to ensure the least inconvenience to the public during construction, for ensuring strict adherence to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and prevent corruption,” he added.

Duterte expressed appreciation for the patience, understanding of the students, parents, and teachers in waiting for the completion of the school buildings.

“We are hopeful that these newly built classrooms will provide a more conducive learning environment even as we cope with the new normal,” he said.

Duterte said good education is a “valuable gift” that can be passed on to succeeding generations of Filipinos.

“Let us join hands in developing the full potential of your youth as bearers of our nation’s sustainable future,” he added.

The construction of school buildings at the Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar Integrated School involves two units of four-story with 24 classrooms and one unit of four-story with 12 classrooms, including ground improvement such as jet grouting and an additional embankment.

Likewise, the construction of Pandi National High School, which will serve as an extension of the Virginia Ramirez-Cruz High School, comprises four units of four-story with 20 classrooms and an additional embankment.

Both projects officially started in January 2019 when Duterte similarly led the groundbreaking ceremony of the Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar National High School and the presentation of Pandi National High School miniature model.

Quality education top priority

Duterte also led the inauguration of the new school buildings of the Lawang Bato National High School and Canumay East National High School in a simultaneous ceremony in Lawang Bato, Valenzuela City.

In his speech, Duterte said quality education is one of his administration’s “top priorities”.

“Making quality education to all Filipinos is one of my administration’s top priorities in the development agenda. As a matter of fact, in the budget yearly, the highest ng pera mapunta number 1 is education (the department with the highest budget is education),” he said.

He also reiterated his promise to reopen the economy once there are enough doses of Covid-19 vaccines for every Filipino.

“If I see most of the citizens can avail of the vaccine in any of the health centers, hospitals, at wala nang, that is the standard, then I will reopen everything sa ating ekonomiya (in our economy). For now pigil ako sa lalo na mga bata (I cannot reopen the economy, especially for kids),” he said.

The Lawang Bato National High School is a newly built school campus inaugurated by the local government of Valenzuela City in January this year. It has three infrastructures consisting of four-story buildings with a total of 44 classrooms.

On the other hand, the Canumay East National High School used to be part of the Valenzuela National High School and was known as the Valenzuela National High School - Canumay East Annex.

By virtue of Republic Act 10205 passed in 2012, the complex was converted into an independent national high school and has since been called the Canumay East National High School. (PNA)

SAN ANTONIO – Gervonta “Tank” Davis delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate over four-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz in the most significant fight of his career, retaining his WBA Lightweight title and picking up the WBA Super Featherweight title Saturday night on SHOWTIME PPV® at the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. It was the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March with an announced crowd of 9,024. It was both fighters’ pay-per-view main event debut, and Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) and Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 KOs) delivered an all-action war that had the fans on their feet from start to finish. The fight, which was contested at 130 pounds, saw both fighters stand in the pocket and press the action. It was in the sixth round when the defining moment of the night occurred, as Davis found an opening to land his trademark left uppercut, a knockout shot which Santa Cruz never saw coming. Davis proved that he is one of the most powerful punchers in the sport, stunning the crowd. Watch the KO HERE. “The uppercut wasn’t the key coming into the fight, but I adapted to what he was bringing,” said Baltimore’s Davis. “I knew he was taller and crouching down and moving forward. Once he moved forward, I tried to jab and make him run into the shot. He was right there for it. He punches, but he doesn’t try to get out of the way. There was nowhere for him to go on that knockout because I got him into the corner. The power and body attack of the 25-year-old Davis was the difference as he landed 55 percent of his power punches to 29 percent for Santa Cruz, who was having his best round of the fight in the sixth round prior to the defining punch. The stronger Davis lured the 32-year-old Santa Cruz into a firefight as 34 of Davis’ 84 landed punches were body shots. “Leo is a tough warrior and a strong Mexican fighter,” said Davis, who is promoted by all-time great Floyd Mayweather. “He came ready for me. I was just the better fighter tonight. I want to maintain both belts. Whatever decision me and my team comes up with, we’ll go with it. I’m not ducking or dodging anybody. I’m a pay-per-view star. Everybody knows I’m number one and I showed it tonight.” “We didn’t get the win, but I’m okay,” said Santa Cruz, who was taken to a nearby hospital for observation. Davis vs. Santa Cruz was a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes were at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, and the 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships. In the co-feature, San Antonio’s hometown favorite Mario Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact and retained his WBA Super Lightweight title with a sixth-round KO over a game and bloodied Ryan Karl (18-3, 12 KOs) on Halloween night. Watch the KO HERE. The fight broke open in the sixth round when Barrios landed a straight right hand that sent Karl down for just the third time in his career. Karl’s problems were further exasperated after an accidental clash of heads created a brutal cut on his forehead which proved to be too much to cope with. The 25-year-old Barrios smelled blood and closed the show in emphatic fashion, landing a left hook that sent Karl down and out at 2:23 of the sixth round. At the time of the stoppage, Barrios was ahead on all three scorecards (48-47 and 49-46 twice). In the all-important sixth round, Barrios landed 29 of his 58 power punches against a very tough Karl, who threw 60 punches per round but landed just 18 percent of those punches. “This fight is for everybody who came out here in San Antonio tonight,” said Barrios following the win. “I told them we’d get this first title defense, and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I was just being patient and picking my shots. I started to really land them and got him out of there. I was ready to go a hard 12 rounds, but my patience helped me get him out of there. I listened to what Virgil [Hunter] was telling me in the corner. It was great to get the job done here at home” “I feel fine but it was a hard shot that I got hit with,” said Milano, Texas’ “Cowboy” Karl. “It was a tough, good, close fight. It was a good headbutt. I was bleeding pretty good but overall I feel fine. I’m not a sore loser. I come to fight, that’s what I expected. So congratulations to Mario on the win. We’ll move on from here.” Former world champion Regis Prograis (25-1, 21 KOs) took the first step to getting back on top of the 140-pound division, scoring a third-round stoppage of Juan Heraldez (16-1-1, 10 KOs) in the second bout of the night. Watch the stoppage HERE. In the third round, the fight changed in an instant as Prograis took advantage of Heraldez keeping his hands too low by landing his most dangerous weapon, a dynamite left hook that sent Heraldez sprawling to the canvas. When Heraldez got back to his feet, Prograis, who was born and raised in New Orleans but now fights out of Katy, Texas, sensed his opponent was in danger and pounced on Heraldez, forcing referee Rafael Ramos to step in and stop the action at 1:23 of round number three. On Friday, Prograis, who lost a 140-pound title unification fight to Josh Taylor last October, weighed in over the 140-pound limit. “I’ve been out of the ring for a year so I think that had some effect on me not making weight,” said the 31-year-old Prograis. “There’s no excuses, but the bubble also had some effect. Mainly it was the layoff though. My body wasn’t adjusted to making the weight again. In the buildup to the fight, Prograis repeatedly stated he felt he was still the best in the world at 140 pounds and vowed to get his belt back. “I still feel like I’m the best at 140,” Prograis reiterated to SHOWTIME’s Mauro Ranallo following the fight. “I’m going to keep proving it every time I fight. Me and Josh Taylor had a close fight, and I think if it had happened in the U.S. I would have won. We know that one day we’ll have to rematch at 140 or 147.” The Las Vegas-based Heraldez, who is signed to Mayweather Promotions, was disappointed he didn’t get the chance to continue the fight despite landing just 12 total punches landed compared to Prograis’ 35. “I just thought it was an early stoppage,” he said. “I was just getting warm, loose. He stunned me, but I don’t think they should’ve stopped the fight.” In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Mexico City’s Isaac Cruz (20-1-1, 15 KOs) wasted no time in getting the fans on their feet, scoring a stunning first-round knockout of Diego Magdaleno (32-4, 13 KOs) just 53 seconds into the night’s action. Watch the KO HERE. The diminutive but powerful Cruz came out swinging immediately after hearing the opening bell, using his vicious uppercut to knock down the 34-year-old Magdaleno for the 11th time in his career inside of 30 seconds. Just 20 seconds after Magdaleno got to his feet, Cruz again unleashed a barrage of punches with Magdaleno against the ropes, finishing him off with back-to-back right uppercuts. In a short night of work, Cruz managed to land 21 of 31 punches, 20 of which were power shots. With the win in the IBF Title Eliminator, Cruz puts himself in position to challenge lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez down the line. “The new Mike Tyson from Mexico was born tonight,” said the 22-year-old Cruz. “I thought it would go longer, but my natural instinct is always to go for it in the first round. I have confidence that I could win the world title right now. I thought it was a statement win. From now on, hopefully everyone will know my name and I’ll get the big fights. I would love a Teofimo Lopez fight. I’m very motivated right now. If he’s tough enough to take it, bring it on.”

Je vous entends

🎉✨Happy Holidays everyone !✨🎉 This is my gift for @reflectingiridescent, for the @startreksecretsanta exchange of 2017. Had a hard time choosing which ship to do since I loved them all (you have good taste 👌), but I had to give in for Jean-Luc/Beverly/Jack because they make me weak. For a bit of timeline context, the story takes place in 2350, meaning Beverly just graduated from Starfleet Academy after getting married to Jack in 2348. Lastly, if you’re wondering about the title, “Je vous entends” means “I hear you” in French. Hope you’ll like it 😳🤞, and Happy New Year ❤️!

Author: @a-flower-crown-shark

For a Starfleet captain, concentration is primordial.

You always need to be at your best, mentally and physically. In space, a second of inattention can cost the life of your crew or compromise the security of the ship. You can be the cause of great, unfathomable damage.

That is why First Officer Jean-Luc Picard, of the Starship Stargazer, is always doing his very best to maintain his focus on every single thing happening around him. He may not hold the position of captain yet, but Starfleet Command has given him the rank, and acting as such seems necessary. And by all means, it does seem to be an excellent exercise for reflexes. There is however a small problem.

Will you stop, he grumbles in his head for the fifth time in the last hour. The voices ignore him, yet again. He lets out a small sigh and continues to work on the console with nimble fingers. A small surge occurred ten minutes ago in one of Engineering’s main conduits, making a few wounded, and though it was quickly put under control, he preferred verifying it, and verifying it himself. He’ll have to overcome his difficulty to delegate if he gets promoted to captain, but for now-

“Merde”, he mumbles when he accidentally hits the wrong button. The ensign next to him (a Vulcan, of course it had to be) hears him and turns around with a blank yet slightly worried expression, that only seems taunting at the moment.

“Sir ?”

“I’m fine, Ensign, thank you”, he smiles as he looks at the young man. “Just a bit of headache this morning”. Thankfully, the ensign does not insist, and they continue their work in silence.

///

As every other night as of the last few months, the walk back to his room is not an easy one; it seems like the voices take pleasure in getting louder when he gets ready to sleep, like they don’t want him to forget them. As if he could. He sits on his bed with discomfort, lets his head fall on the pillow, and grabs a pad by his nightstand, trying to decipher its content while a tambourine drums on his temples.

Ensign Warrick, Jules – In Sickbay for severe plasma burns on legs, torso, and right arm – Status: Stable – Relieved of duty for five days

Ah, the wounded of the power surge then. He tries to focus on the list, for the sake of the suffering crewman, but he can barely read the letters in front of his eyes.

Ensign M’lyoo, Kiku – In Sickbay for severe plasma burns on arms, neck – Status: Stable – Relieved of duty for three days

Ensign T’lennk En’tgai, Vorak – In Sickbay for severe plasma burns on legs – Status: Stable –Relieved of duty for three days

Lieutenant Crusher, Jack – In Sick Bay for light plasma burns on neck, torso, and left arms – Status: Stable – Relieved of duty for two days

Lieutenant Sevol-De La Cruz, Illyan – In Sick Bay for lig-

The pad falls on the bed, and he lets out a broken moan of pain.

They’ve been here for six months. Two voices, a woman and a man, speaking in Standard. At least he thinks they are: he has no idea what they’re saying. The voices are there, always, constantly under or over his own thoughts, and he distinguishes the fact that they are pronouncing words; but as soon as he tries to listen more closely to what exactly they’re saying, it all becomes a confused jumble.

When he first heard them, he put it under the stress he was under, only having recently been promoted to First Officer and overwhelmed with new duties. That peculiar day, the captain was receiving new crewmembers from a sister ship (a rumoured talented engineer, a security lieutenant, a science officer who specialized in novae, and a young command officer and his wife, a medical ensign who had recently graduated from the academy. He did not meet any of them, but he surely would do so later, when he’d have the time), and as such, was obligated to spend time with its captain to discuss details of the transfer. Meanwhile, he was in charge of a secret meeting with a Ferengi ship to share classified data, of a crucial maintenance exam at Starbase 35, of the proper delivery of a cure to a plagued colony planet … It seemed as if there was no end to the list of things he needed to do, and even with his natural calm, it definitely was tiring. He was very glad to go to sleep that night, and dozed off peacefully a soon as he laid himself on his bed.

And then, the two voices begun screaming.

He’d later recognize their high pitched tone to be less characteristic of fear than of unbelievable despair, though at the moment it only felt like pure, simple screaming. He held his head with two hands, trying to diminish the pain, without result. Needless to say, Jean-Luc didn’t get much sleep that night, nor the next, nor the nights of the week after. If the voices sometimes calmed down to only become a small mumble, they would very often jump back up at the most random moments, making him feel nauseous.

Of course, the data bank turned out empty. It was not a question of mental health, he was and is still certain of it; something about the voices seemed way too real, way too distinct for them to only be products of his mind. Jean-Luc Picard being Jean-Luc Picard, his next try was with alien cultures, for which he held enormous passion and respect: Many of them had such stories in their myths and legends, and there would surely be something worthy of note there. However, surprisingly, he found nothing of use, if not the knowledge that he may not have been the only individual to hear voices in his mind. Refusing to let himself be examined, as the “sickness” did not seem threatening to either him or others, he took the decision to continue living with the voices (Yes, he knew, he knew it was not the healthy thing to do, but something about the voices felt so profoundly private, so very personal, that he just couldn’t bring himself to risk losing the strange connexion he had with them, and if that was childish of him then damn it, he could not help being flawed and he could not help being human). Who are you?, he’d often ask in his mind. What do you want with me? What is causing you such sadness?. But the voices never answered. Are you seeking something?, he’d try again. Someone?. And still the voices would ignore him.

It actually was possible to live alongside them: The both could speak so low that he forgot their existence, and their constant hum became a sort of soothing song. I anything, they were friends of some sort. Bodiless, incomprehensible companions, but companions none the less, for which he somehow gained affection.

Except when they’re doing that, he thinks bitterly, as the voices yell their hearts out with abandon. He moves around his head for comfort, without success. Months ago, supporting them did not seem insurmountable. Lately however his stock of patience was running quite low, as, so very, very tired of hearing them, the voices were starting to interfere with his work.

Jean-Luc shuffled a bit in his bed, trying to chase away the thoughts that were slowly finding a way to his mind.

For a Starfleet captain, concentration is primordial.

In the messy covers, partially on the ground, Jean-Luc turns his head yet again, annoyed. “I can do this”, he murmurs out loud. “I just need to try a little harder. Just a little more.”

You always need to be at your best, mentally and physically.

He painfully opens his eyes, gazing at the crème celling.

In space, a second of inattention can cost the life of your crew or compromise the security of the ship.

He thinks of the Vulcan ensign, looking at him with worried eyes. The truth is the most painful when it’s staring at you like that, with the eyes of someone who can’t lie.

You can be the cause of great, unfathomable damage.

Tomorrow, he’ll go to Sickbay.

///

The walk to get there is the most painful thing he’s ever felt.

As soon as he left his room, the voices begun rising to impossible levels, and now they’ve reached a point that no word could possibly describe, only growing higher and higher as he limps in the corridors.

He thinks of himself in bar, surrounded by Nausicaans and falling to his knees, and laughing, laughing at the horrible feeling that propagates itself from his heart. He tries to tell himself that the pain he’s in now is much less greater, that he should be roaring of laughter now more than then. But he can’t even mutter the force to push anything other than small, desperate whining sounds, and deep down, he knows that the pain is worse.

People notice him, try to intervene, but a quick dismissing move of the hand keeps them in place. Somewhere in his mind, he feels them staring at him with evident worry. And though he’s too preoccupied with the deafening sounds to reassure them, he tries to stand a little bit straighter as he continues his route. He was never good at showing others his pain.

Ironically, as he slowly loses the ability to produce any human thought, a part of his brain, far, too far for him to register, realizes that the voices sole purpose was for him to follow them. That now, without realising it, he’s being guided by their sound towards an unknown force, an unknown power that he was destined to meet.

He keeps walking.

Finally, finally, he gets to Sickbay’s doors, and tears are strolling down his face. He’s practically crawling to get there, because he knows, feels the thing, the person behind the doors, and he needs them. He can’t take it, he can’t take it anymore, but he’s there and the doors are opening, but it’s too much, it’s too much, and he starts yelling in the middle of hell “Arrêtez, je vous en supplie! Je vous entends! Je vous entends! Je vou-”

It stops.

Everything is silence.

There’s nothing. Absolutly nothing.

Perhaps, a buzzing noise can be heard, somewhere, from the tools or the computers. Perhaps a light buzz of discussion can be heard, somewhere, from the medical staff in the room. Perhaps the fabric of space itself is making noise, somewhere, as the Stargazer slides upon it, but he can’t tell. Around him, it’s only silence. And it’s only them.

Tears are streaming down their faces too. He makes out every single darker strands in her red hair, every single crease of smile around his mouth.

They’re beautiful.

None of them dares to move, afraid of breaking the moment, this thing out of time and space, only for the three of them. Nothing else exists anymore. The man, who’s pale, slender neck is covered with bandages, is the first one the move, getting up from his biobed. Before he makes a step forward, Jean-Luc speaks without thinking, as a name he’s only read on reports before escapes his lips.

“Jack”

The world collapse. Jack runs towards him and both of them fall on the ground, wailing in abandon and gripping each other with desperation. Red marks of strong fingers start to appear on his body, and he only holds Jack tighter. He feels so alive.

A hesitant hand places itself on his shoulder. He looks up to find the blue watery eyes of the woman, looking unsure if she should interrupt. He detangles a hand from one of Jack’s and takes hers in his palm.

“Beverly”, he smiles.

A hiccupped “Jean-Luc” slips before she falls to her knees with a smile so bright he can’t take it, and joins their entanglement of limbs as it becomes impossible to see where one ends and one begins. Jack grins and starts laughing, and she does too, because Jean-Luc’s has never seen them once and they’ve been right there for months, because they don’t know him but they do, because thousands of questions are left unanswered. He starts laughing with them, because this is space, this is what he’s been dreaming of since a child, this great unknown that can never be truly understood and that sometimes does inexplicable things. And one day, he’ll be captain, ready to explore the galaxy at the helm of a ship, with two soulmates given by an incalculable amount of stars at his side. But for the moment, he holds their hands tight in the middle of Sickbay’s floor, surrounded by people who feel miles away from the three of them, and he replies to the voices in his mind and the two people they belonged to : “Je vous entends”.

Hiding from the pain (Montgomery De La Cruz/ reader) Part 3

Finally part 3 guys, sorry I didn’t post it sooner.

We headed upstairs and turned on the tv.

Sheri and I changed into some pjs and laid in my bed watching some Pretty Little Liars. It was around 12:20 in the morning when I got a text from Monty.

Montlame De La Cruz text: I’m outside

I got nervous

Sheri: Stop! he’s here?

You could see the lights of his jeep on. I didn’t know if he wanted to come in or if he wanted to talk in his jeep. I told Sheri to stay in my room and I would go and see what he needed. Mind you I’m still buzzed so it was kinda difficult to walk down the stairs. I opened the door to my house and he was standing in the door.

Y/n: Hello

All I could say was hello? Not a what do you want?

Monty: Hey... umm

he tried to find the words to say

I just stared at him and opened the door more and moved my right hand to the living room. He just went to the living room and I closed the door. He sat in the couch and looked at me. I sat on the right side of it.

Monty: Y/n, I miss you

Y/n: Ohh, well umm I’m sorry, but I

Not able to finish my sentence Monty started to talk.

Monty: I need you, I can’t stand seeing you everywhere with everyone. I need you. This hole in my heart that’s been made since we broke up can’t be healed. I sound cheesy, but you know that I’ve been with all those girls because I can’t get over you! I still love you!

I just stared at him. I wasn’t sure what to say. My body wanted to jump to him, but my mind told me no.

Y/n: Monty I just..

Monty sat next to me and caressed my cheek and looked into my eyes. I was still buzz and I thought “hey I won't remember this anyways my drunk mind does dumb things”

We kissed. We both started to kiss and it was like old times.

flashback: My parents weren’t home this weekend shocker. He decided to come and keep me company and we watched movies and ate popcorn. We were laying in the couch and a popcorn fight happened it escalated to a full on make out session and him sleeping over.

Monty and me just kept making out. It was as if our souls missed each other. It felt like home. He started to leave hickeys in my neck and I did the same. I don’t know how long we were together, but Sheri decided to call my name.

Monty: Ohh Sheri is here?

Giving his signature smirk.

Y/n: Shut up!!

Sheri came downstairs without warning and was standing in the front of the living room smirking.

Sheri: hmm while fake coughing

Y/n: Ohh hey Sheri

Monty and me got up and looked at each other. Blushing and all. Sheri just smirked and looked at me.

Sheri: I’m going upstairs don’t mind me.

While she was smiling she went upstairs.

Monty button up his flannel and headed to the door with me.

Monty: Well this was fun... Right?

I looked at Monty with a smirk and nodding my head.

Y/n: Yes, but no one can know about this

Monty: Can we do this again?

Monty looked at me with his eyes pure and hopeful. I took my right hand to his cheek and leaned up to give him a kiss.

Y/n: As long as, no one knows

Monty: Sheri knows

Y/n: Don’t worry I can keep her quiet

Monty looked so hopeful and headed back to his jeep while looking back to me. I just stared at him till he left not realizing I was smiling. I closed the door and headed to the living room and shouted at Sheri to come downstairs to tell her everything.

Y/n: You saw what Monty and me did, but it felt great

Sheri: Well clearly it did cause you can’t stop smiling

Y/n: Yeah I guess it did, but I can’t get myself hurt again

Just as I finished my sentence there was a buzzing in the living room table. Monty forgot his phone and it was buzzing someone was calling him and Sheri got the phone and looked at who was calling.

My smile left without knowing who was calling him.

Sheri in the other hand was smiling with who the caller was.

Sheri: It’s just Jeff

Y/n: Let me talk to him

Sheri handed me the phone, but before telling me to have a plan onto why you’re answering Monty’s phone and not him.

Jeff: Did you tell her? Did she forgive you? Tell me you’re back with her. You guys love each other and no rumor or random girl should break you up.

I looked at Sheri while confused at what Jeff was saying over the phone.

Y/n: Jeff it’s Y/n what were you saying about a rumor or random girl?

Jeff started to stutter with what he was saying and trying to come up with an answer.

Jeff: Ohh... hey... Y/n... what are you doing answering Monty’s phone?

He sounded like he wanted to laugh, but I could tell Jeff was getting nervous.

Y/n: Jeffery Atkins I know where you live. Tell me what’s going on.

Sheri looked at me worried with my stern voice and using Jeff’s full name.

Jeff: Can I meet you in your house?

Y/n: Yes come over

Sheri just looked at me.

Sheri: Jeff is coming over?

Y/n: Yes apparently there are rumors involved and a girl

I kept my stern voice, but sounding questioning.

Sheri: Well whatever it is we can count on Jeff to tell us the truth

Monty’s phone buzzed and not once, but five times. He kept getting texts from Tiffany. Barf.

Tiffany’s text:

Monty where are you?

I miss you!!!

I didn’t mean to get you mad I want you I don’t want to break up

My parents aren’t home and I’m so lonely

I will wear my cheerleading uniform if you come!

I just stared at the texts and looked at Sheri with such disappointment.Sure it wasn’t his fault that Tiffany was texting him, but we just had a nice moment why did she have to text him.

Jeff ranged the doorbell and I headed to the door leaving the phone in the table and Sheri just sat in the couch.

Y/n: Come on in Atkins

Jeff smiled nervously and headed to the living room.

Sheri: Jeff hi, umm I can go if you guys need to talk in private.

Y/n: No I just want to know about these rumors and this girl?

My patience was running low and I was starting to have second thoughts on giving Monty a second chance.

Jeff: Well... How do I put this lightly... Monty didn’t mean to cheat.

I looked at Jeff with a mad face and my arms crossed while him and me were standing in the living room.

Y/n: Spit it out Atkins!

Jeff: Well ok Monty, Zach, Bryce, Marcus, and I went to a party. It was at this random girl’s house from Dalton school. She was friends with Bryce and we decided to since we were bored at Bryce’s. We were playing several games and we all were drinking. Monty decided to go get a drink and I saw a blonde girl follow him to the kitchen. Zach and I decided to go to the kitchen too since we finished our drinks. The girl kept touching Monty’s arm and she dared him to kiss her. Monty told her no and she wouldn’t take it as an answer. She kissed him and Monty just got her off of him and told her I have a girlfriend. Zach and I heard everything we were standing behind the wall. The girl left to her group of friends and bragged that she made out with him. Bryce heard about it and he was the one who spread the rumors and told everyone that Monty was cheating on you. The reason why I’m telling you this now is that I just found out it was Bryce the reason why Zach and me didn’t come clean was because Monty never denied the rumor. He’s felt guilty over this all this time. He thought since this girl kissed him and somehow the whole school found out you wouldn’t believe him.

I was already sitting down in the couch with my mouth opened. I couldn’t believe it. Monty’s been feeling horrible over this the whole time? Bryce? I knew he had a thing for me since Monty and me broke up. He was always walking me to my class and to my car. Always texted me and invited me to his parties always ended up us two together and just talking about life.

I looked at Jeff and with a disappointed face at the fact he or Zach didn’t say anything, but I knew they weren’t to blame. It was Bryce. He was the cause of all of this. I knew what I had to do on Monday.

Jeff: I’m sorry Y/n.

Y/n: Don’t worry I know what to do. I have a plan to get Bryce, but you have to help me and Sheri you too.

Sheri: You go it!

Jeff left and Sheri asked me what the plan was when we went to my room.

Y/n: I am going to go to school on Monday with that white top that helps my boobs look great the tightest black jeans with black heels and leather jacket with my hair curled. I’m going to go into school and lure Bryce to the gym and make him strip... Butt naked and run off with his clothes and make him go after me just in time when the bell rings.

Sheri looked at me with a surprised and smirked face. She nodded.

Sheri: But how do you know he’ll follow you outside the gym? How about the locker room?

Y/n: Good idea

i gave Sheri a smirk and we planned for Monday.

Bryce was going down no one was going to ruined my relationship with Monty. I was in pain over this and so was he.

Ok guys, how do you like this? I’ll try tomorrow to upload part 4 of this series and let me know if you want anything to happen.

Byron Buxton Is Teasing Twins Fans Again

The Minnesota Twins were one of the best stories of the 2017 MLB season: Coming off a 59-win campaign in 2016, they won 85 games and made the playoffs seemingly out of nowhere. Minnesota even spotted itself an early three-run lead against the Yankees in the American League wild-card game (before promptly giving it away in the bottom of the first and ultimately losing). With one of baseball’s youngest lineups, this seemed like a team on the rise, and its best all-around player — 23-year-old center fielder Byron Buxton — had a lot to do with that, putting together a breakout season of his own.

By the same token, when Buxton faltered in 2018, so did the Twins. In an injury-plagued lost season, Buxton managed just 94 plate appearances and graded as below replacement level, according to whichever metric you choose to consult. Minnesota, in turn, dipped from 85 wins to 78 and wasn’t really in the playoff picture after the All-Star break. Buxton wasn’t the only Twin to suffer a miserable 2018 decline,1 but it is fair to say his absence played as big a role in Minnesota’s downfall as anything else.

This spring, Buxton and the Twins are looking to recapture the spirit of 2017 — and the early returns are encouraging. Last week, the former No. 1 prospect in all of baseball hit what was already his fourth home run of spring training:

It’s been part of a tear that has Buxton looking like the best hitter in baseball during the spring so far. Although spring training results are easy to scoff at, they aren’t completely devoid of meaning — and that’s something the Twins will hang on to if it means there’s a chance Buxton rebounds and helps them close the gap in the AL Central.

According to my research from a few years ago, massive spring outlier performances do carry some predictive value going forward. It just takes a lot of improvement to signal real breakout potential: You need a weighted on-base average (wOBA) in the spring 17 points above projected — using the simple-yet-effective Marcel projection system — just to predict a 1-point increase in wOBA (relative to projection) during the regular season. So for most players, they’ll never hit well enough in the spring to move the needle of their season expectations very much either way.

But Buxton is hitting so well that it might actually be a much-needed sign of hope for his performance this season. When we compare players’ spring wOBA with their preseason Marcel projections, no player2 has exceeded expectations more than the Twins’ center fielder:

Buxton is tearing it up this spring

Minimum 25 spring plate appearances for players who have already made their regular-season MLB debuts. Stats are through Friday, March 15.

Source: Baseball-Reference.com

That 282-point difference in wOBA would imply a 17-point increase over projected during the regular season, good for a .314 mark when applied to Buxton’s on-base projection. That’s essentially the same wOBA Buxton had during his breakout 2017 campaign — a number that still wasn’t quite league average but was good enough to combine with his stellar defense to make him worth 4.3 wins above replacement (WAR),3 as opposed to the -0.4 number he produced last season. And for a Twins team that we currently project to win 84 games with a 37 percent chance of making the playoffs, even incremental improvements from a key player like Buxton could pay massive dividends in terms of postseason odds. My former colleague Rob Arthur estimated that, in the era of two wild cards, an 86-win team would generally increase its playoff probability by about 10 to 15 percentage points over an 84-win one. (The mid-80s win range is basically the steepest area for adding playoff odds with an extra win.)

Now, to pump the brakes a little on Buxton’s spring: 30 plate appearances is a very small sample, and most of them have come against sub-AAA quality pitchers, according to Baseball-Reference.com’s estimation. Buxton currently has a batting average on balls in play of .368, much higher than his regular-season career average of .320. His biggest action items as a hitter — plate patience and strike-zone judgment — have shown some signs of life this spring, but he’ll have to sustain them all season to convince skeptics that his skills have truly improved. And Minnesota can only hope those spring homers are merely a sign that Buxton will be an average power hitter again (like in 2017) rather than the guy who didn’t hit a single home run in 90 MLB at-bats last season.4

It really does just comes down to health and hitting for Buxton — defensively, on a per-inning basis, he was just as great last year as in 2017; he was also the fastest player in baseball. If Buxton can recapture a version of his 2017 production at the plate, it would be very good for the Twins in their quest to return to the American League Division Series for the first time since 2010. Minnesota added some impact free agents over the offseason (Marwin Gonzalez, Nelson Cruz, Blake Parker), while the division-favorite Cleveland Indians spent the winter shopping around their stars and generally resting on their laurels. Maybe the Twins are still longshots to truly knock the Indians off of their three-year perch as AL Central champs, but a healthy, star-caliber 2019 season from Buxton would make that task a lot easier.

How to Deal with an Especially Cruel Inner Critic

It’s common for you to have a running commentary in your mind that sounds something like this:

You’ll never get that job. You’re not smart, cool or creative enough. That fight was all your fault. You don’t belong at that party with those accomplished people. You’ll never finish that project. You’ll never achieve that goal. Who do you think you are? If you don’t get a perfect grade on that paper, it’ll confirm you’re a fraud. Scratch that. You are a fraud. You’re also a terrible mother. You also can’t do anything right. You also aren’t worthy of _______ and ________. And ________.

And you assume these constant, cruel words are the truth. You assume they’re gospel.

Many clients who see Lauren Canonico realize they’re hard on themselves. But they’re less aware of the stringent, sky-high standards they set and where those standards stem from, said Canonico, LCSW, a psychotherapist and consultant in private practice in New York City.

“Most people don’t know how they came to feel the way they do about themselves.”

The inner critic originates from early experiences with primary caregivers. We internalize how these significant caregivers relate and perceive us in the world, said Christina Cruz, Psy.D, a life coach who specializes in low self-esteem, perfectionism, anxiety, depression and body image.

“Their voice and perceptions of us become our voice and become how we relate to ourselves. Because primary caregivers have such a strong role in our lives, it is difficult to develop a sense of self outside of what others believe us to be.”

We also internalize our caregivers’ feelings and criticisms of themselves, and “hold ourselves to those same standards,” said Canonico, who offers affirmative counseling and therapy to adults and teens, and clinical consulting services to individuals and organizations.

Societal messages make a difference, too. Maybe you’ve received cruel messages about your race, religion, sexual orientation or size, which may “seemingly confirm the inner critic’s negative stance and strengthen it even further,” Canonico said.

At the core of our inner critic is usually an overwhelming feeling of not being good enough, Cruz said. Which, again, leads the inner critic to continuously scan for evidence that supposedly substantiates our worthlessness.

But it doesn’t matter how cruel and awful and persistent your inner critic is because you can reduce it. You can change your relationship with yourself. Sometimes that means working with a therapist to unpack the origins of your critic and to work through it. Either way, you can start the work with the below strategies.

Better understand your inner critic. Change starts with understanding our personal triggers for negative self-talk, said Darcy Lawton, LCSW, a psychotherapist who specializes in self-esteem, anxiety, relationships and the performing arts. She suggested creating a flow-chart that includes the following:

When and where your inner critic is activated

Emotions that arise

Thoughts that arise

Evidence that supports or refutes its words

For the last category, it’s critical to let go of extreme thinking (more on that below) and be honest with yourself, Cruz said. For instance, is it really true that no one cares about you?

“I am certain you will find evidence that does not support some of the thoughts you have about yourself,” Cruz said. “When you ask yourself this very simple question—Is this true? —you will find holes in the story you have been believing.”

Use present, action-oriented language. The inner critic tends to use phrases such as “I should have, could have, would have,” said Lawton. It also uses extreme words, such as “always, never, have to, no one, must, nothing, perfectly, only and can’t,” said Cruz.

Instead, Lawton suggested using present-focused language, such as “I feel this, I experience that, I hope for this,” because it nudges our inner critic to a more supportive space.

Focus on your younger self. While changing how you talk to yourself is important, it’s equally essential to change how you relate to yourself, Cruz said. Which is why she helps clients incorporate self-compassion into their lives: “[I]t’s what inevitably makes the biggest difference in silencing their inner critic.”

For instance, she asks her clients to imagine their younger selves at a critical time in their lives, and to reflect on what that child really needed. Because what that little girl or boy needed is usually what we need too: compassion, security, love.

How can you give yourself compassion, security and love? What loving actions can you take today? What loving decisions can you make? Where do you need your own patience and understanding?

Empathize with your inner critic. While it rarely feels like it, the inner critic is trying to protect us—from potential rejection, harm, failure. It has good intentions. As Canonico said, “the inner critic wants us to succeed.”

But, of course, its approach is awful, because it originates from fear. Frequently, “our inner critic is fearful of not being enough which most often can be overcome with what it needs the most: compassion and love,” Cruz said.

Consider that your inner critic is trying to help. For instance, according to Canonico, you might acknowledge: “Wow, this promotion or this friendship must be really important to me if I am being so hard on myself about it and am so afraid of losing it. How can I work towards it?”

Prioritize self-care. This is huge, Canonico said. Practicing self-care reminds you that you deserve compassionate care and positive, pleasurable experiences. Self-care is highly personal, but it might include: waking up early to journal about your thoughts and feelings as you sip on a warm cup of tea; sleeping in because you need the rest; taking a restorative yoga class; meeting a friend for lunch; spending Sunday on the couch with a good book.

Acknowledge the positive. Canonico suggested taking note of positive feedback or small moments that go well (e.g., keeping a gratitude journal). Because that’s part of the reality, too. For instance, maybe you’re a thoughtful friend, a good writer or a hard worker. Sure, maybe you have room to grow, but so does everyone. We are constantly evolving, aren’t we?

Canonico also noted that these strategies introduce new and different information about ourselves. “Not allowing the inner critic to have a monopoly on what we say to ourselves is key.”

While we can’t eliminate the inner critic, we can start to relate to it differently. We can start to relate to ourselves differently. We can start with a single kind gesture—empathizing with our inner child, forgiving ourselves for making a mistake, remembering we’re not alone—and go from there.

The Houston Astros started from the bottom, and now they’re World Series champions

The Astros were the butt of baseball’s jokes not that long ago. Now they’re having a whole lot of fun.

LOS ANGELES — The Houston Astros were a joke. A literal punchline to whatever baseball joke you could come up with. They were “The Aristocrats!” of baseball, something you could say at the end of a long, drawn out explanation of utter and total baseball incompetence. Say the word “Astros,” and you would get laughs.

The Houston Astros are World Series champions for the first time in their 56-year history.

It took skill, luck, talent, and smarts, which is what it took for every other championship team before them. The 2017 Astros were an incredible collection of talent. They were found talent, acquired talent, developed talent, and bought talent. They won 101 games in the regular season, and then they won 11 games after that. When future generations look back at the 2017 season, they won’t think, “Now how did that happen?” It makes sense. What with the talent and all.

But I want to talk about how bad they were if that’s okay.

I can’t stop thinking about this.

... not a single, solitary Nielsen household tuned in for as long as a few minutes in any given quarter-hour to watch the Astros lose to the Indians for their 105th defeat of the year.

The Astros pulled a 0.0 Nielsen rating for a regular season game in 2013. A total goose egg. The next year, it happened again. It was possible to sample nearly 600 Houston households and not find a single one that would turn the Astros on for a second. For perspective, note that about four percent of the population believe that lizard people control the government. Five percent believe Paul McCartney has been dead for decades.

Zero percent were willing to watch the Astros on purpose in 2013 or 2014, give or take.

And those people shouldn’t be blamed. The Astros were transcendentally terrible. If you want moving images, here’s a tidy collection. If you want words, oh, there are words. If you want a single video, this will do:

youtube

For my money, I’m very much into this kid losing his innocence just to laugh at how horrible the Astros were:

He wasn’t wrong.

The Houston Astros are World Series champions, though. It didn’t take witchcraft or space-age technology. They put out a “QUIET! WE’RE SUCKING TO GET BETTER” sign in front of Minute Maid Park, and they asked for patience, which they couldn’t possibly have expected to get. Then they built the foundation. Then the frame, then the plumbing, a little drywall, and it was up before we had a chance to realize it.

Suddenly, the Astros were a contender. The high draft picks, the deep farm system, and the twists of fate conspired to make them relevant again. But contending teams are a dime a dozen. The Twins made the postseason this year. The Rockies, too. The Angels and Brewers cared about what was going on in September, somehow. Next year, the Marlins, A’s, and Rays might all care about September.

No, the Astros were a contender, a juggernaut, a team with enviable talent stacked upon enviable talent. It’s important to remember how they got that talent.

There were the players who required a lot of losing. The Astros lost 86 games to get George Springer. Tommy Manzella started more games at shortstop for them than anyone else in 2010, and that’s part of how they got Springer. They lost 106 games in 2011 to get Carlos Correa and Lance McCullers. They lost 107 games in 2012 to get Not Kris Bryant, who turned into Ken Giles, who most definitely didn’t close out Game 7.

They lost 111 games in 2014 to almost get Brady Aiken, which is how they ended up with Alex Bregman in a roundabout way, but that was all a huge mess. People are still arguing about it.

They weren’t all nonsensical losing seasons, though. They built players, too. Charlie Morton was someone available to all 30 teams, but only one of them was creative enough to sign him. Dallas Keuchel was a 23-year-old non-prospect, striking out five batters per nine innings in Double-A. He was brought up to the majors because the Astros were that bad. The new guard rebuilt him and turned him into a Cy Young winner.

They bought players. Brian McCann came over because the Yankees wanted to shed payroll, which is inherently funny. Yuli Gurriel was a high-risk investment, and because of his advanced age, that move didn’t have a huge window with which to work. Carlos Beltran and Josh Reddick sure weren’t cheap.

They traded for players. Justin Verlander was the obvious get, but there were more than that. They gave up a strong prospect to get Evan Gattis. They made a lesser deal with the A’s to get Brad Peacock.

Perhaps most importantly, they inherited players from the people who built those 110-loss teams. I keep thinking about Jose Altuve, who was brought up as a sacrificial lamb in 2011, straight from the low minors. Someone from the Bad Astros had to recognize him as a diamond in the rough and follow through with that evaluation, signing him and developing him, and all that. Keuchel was already here and nothing more than a generic organizational arm. A particularly funny one is Marwin Gonzalez, who came over in the Rule 5 Draft the same day in 2012 that GM Jeff Luhnow was officially hired. That’s a heckuva mint to leave on the pillow for the new guys.

It all coalesced into a team of disparate parts that liked each other. They were from all over the globe. The World Series MVP was Connecticut-born to parents from Panama and Puerto Rico. There was Cuba and Puerto Rico and Venezuela and New Mexico, and the Jewish kid from New Mexico really wanted to learn Spanish so he could speak to his teammates from Cuba and Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

This team, the one that rose out of the depths of the deepest, stinkiest compost pile, that was cobbled together and reinvented itself several times over, was the one in place for a city that needed something to distract itself from Hurricane Harvey. There are still people without homes, people who need a car to function, and the damage isn’t completely fixed, not even close.

But everyone can rally around the sports, now. It’s a small token, but it’s an important one. In Houston, everyone was jabbering about the Astros. There were handwritten notes on the menus of restaurants all over town, and there were large, silkscreen signs in front of the hotels. The Nielsen rating was higher than 0.0 this October. Everyone was very much into this team winning for this city.

It took transactions, sleights of hand, unexpected developments. players left over from the last tenants, and talent, talent, talent. Oh, how the Astros had talent. Their star middle infielders were a second baseman who was cross between Bilbo Baggins and Pete Rose, and a shortstop who was a Greek god with puppy dog feet.

They weren’t a joke anymore, an automatic punchline. The 2017 Houston Astros were the best team around, and they went through the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers to get there. That’s 366 combined years of baseball history standing in their way, and the Astros navigated it deftly.

The Astros are World Series champions. If you were around in 2011 or 2012, that still reads weird, right? They were so bad, everyone.

I’d like to bring this to your attention, via Baseball-Reference.com:

What a marvelous collection of faces and names. The first two rode a tandem bike to work every day, but they couldn’t win a World Series. There was Jose Cruz, and Lance Berkman, and Joe Morgan, and Nolan Ryan, and Mike Scott, and Terry Puhl, and Glenn Davis ...

It all led to this team, this one right here. This was the team that did it. The Astros had a secret legacy of pain that started with this 1980 NLCS, in which there were four straight extra-inning games. Can you imagine that stress? You cannot. From there, the Astros biffed it against the ‘86 Mets, and they lost to the White Sox in ‘05. They were incapable of winning in the postseason.

Until they did.

This brings us to the Dodgers, the other side of the tale. The last time they won the World Series, the Astros were as old as the Rockies. Nobody is worried about the Rockies’ legacy of pain. No one is contemplating the championship curse of the Rays.

Which is to say, it’s been a long, long time since the Dodgers have won the World Series.

This is the season in which they did everything right. They built the team that went on the historic run. They traded for the complementary ace at the deadline. They took great pains to make sure they didn’t overwork Clayton Kershaw and strip him down for parts. This was the team with Chris Taylor and Justin Turner batting seven times every inning, somehow.

Let them be an example of how hard it is to win a World Series.

They had everything going for them. They had the money. It was the kind of money that let their Plans A, B, and C fall through, like it was no big deal. They had the talent. They had the brain trust to dig up more talent than they thought they already had. And it still wasn’t enough.

The Dodgers had a plan going into Game 7. They were going to count on the All-Star to start the game. Then they were going to bring in the All-Star to bridge the gap until the next All-Star. It was a fine plan, until the first All-Star messed the bed.

There was no reason for Yu Darvish to face George Springer. That’s not something we needed the benefit of hindsight to complain about; it looked dicey at the time. But it wasn’t the only reason the Dodgers lost the 2017 World Series.

They lost because of absolutely crappy luck, among other things. The Dodgers were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position, and they left 10 men on base. Some of those outs were hit exceptionally hard. Joc Pederson pounded a grounder that deserved better in the first inning with the bases loaded. Chris Taylor roped a ball that should have been a triple, at least, in the second inning, except it was a flukey double play. Yasiel Puig just missed pitches, fouling them back or popping them up. On another day, he would have been the hero.

On another day, they all would have been the heroes. What we know is this: The Dodgers planned better than any team in modern history. They spent more, and they built the best baseball players they possibly could. They still couldn’t navigate around the tricky obstacle of “Oh, by the way, Yu Darvish is Scott Erickson now.” They couldn’t overcome the classic baseball booby trap of all-your-hitters-hit-it-straight-into-a-mitt. You can spend all the money in the world to create the best team, but baseball can still take your wallet and dump it into a fountain when you aren’t looking.

The Dodgers are proof of that.

The 2017 World Series was a tremendous contest, filled with twists, turns, landmines, and locusts. Game 7 happened to be the most boring of them all, a game with the obvious conclusion telegraphed from the very beginning.

Except it wasn’t that boring because you kept waiting for the ninjas to pop out of the jack-in-the-box. You kept waiting for the blernsball nonsense from Games 2 and 5 to pop up again. It never did.

The Houston Astros are the World Series champs for the first time in their history. Congratulations upon congratulations to them.

Before the game started, the Dodger Stadium PA was playing Drake at 400 decibels, as they do. It wasn’t just any Drake. It was this one:

youtube

This video could have been a five-minute loop of the butt slide. Or the quintuple-error that captured our imagination back in 2012. Instead, it was a standard hip-hop video with Brian McCann and/or Evan Gattis.

And while it was supposed to fire up the Dodgers, ostensibly, it reminded the Astros of where they came from. Dallas Keuchel and Jose Altuve were footnotes on some of the worst baseball teams in history. Now they’re champions, actual World Series champions, because they persevered and everyone got a lot smarter around them.

The Houston Astros used to be funny. Trust me, really, really funny. Now they’re a model franchise, and they have the championship that previous iterations couldn’t figure out. The ‘90s/’00s had two inner-circle Hall of Famers, and the supporting cast wasn’t too shabby, either. The ‘70s had some of the most underrated players in baseball history, with Jimmy Wynn and Cesar Cedeno. The ‘80s had Nolan Ryan and Mike Scott and some fantastic chances.

This was the team that did it, though. It came with the backdrop of a city trying to rebuild, trying to shake everything off. This was a city with “Fuck it, try again” as an unofficial motto. They don’t have to try again. The Houston Astros are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history. I’m not going to say they deserved it, because deserve’s got nothing to do with it. But it was long overdue.

It was long overdue and well-timed. The Astros are champions, even though they were a blight on baseball, a complete embarrassment, just three years ago. They started from the bottom and now, well, you know. Smart teams don’t have to succeed.

This one did. The 2017 Astros won the World Series. You’ve seen the Sports Illustrated cover predicting it. It’s real now. The message for the rest of baseball is this: If they can do it in just a few years, buddy, your team can definitely do it.

That’s a lesson that doesn’t have to be applied in 2018. Or 2048. It’s a universal lesson, and there’s no better example than the Astros. They were so bad. So, so, so bad. Now they’re the champions, and they’re carrying a city on their shoulders.

I remember the butt-slide. I remember the multiple errors on one hilarious play. But it all led to this. The Astros are World Series champions. It seemed like an obvious possibility before the season. It seemed unthinkable just a couple years ago. But it’s here, and it’s glorious.

2017 NFL training camp predictions for all 32 groups

New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/2017-nfl-training-camp-predictions-for-all-32-groups/

2017 NFL training camp predictions for all 32 groups

Who has the leg up to commence opposite Richard Sherman in Seattle? What about across from Patrick Peterson in Arizona? And which rookies are primed to see the area in 7 days 1?

With every single workforce now in training camp, NFL Nation reporters give their picks for huge situation battles and huge staff variations with one particular early prediction:

NFC EAST

Jaylon Smith will be on the video game-working day roster to commence the period.

Who’s on the bubble? Which rookie could shock? NFL Nation reporters acquire a crack at a preliminary 53-gentleman roster and setting up lineup projection and preview what to hope in training camp for every single workforce.

No quarterbacks, offensive linemen or coordinators permitted — just go-catchers and running backs. From 32-1, we’re position every single team’s offensive weapons.

1 Relevant

That won’t indicate he will be a starter at one particular of the linebacker spots in opposition to the Giants. The Cowboys will provide Smith along slowly in the course of camp, but he has shown enhancement in his motion due to the fact the spring with his early perform. He is doing work on the punt and kickoff groups and will be able to give some place responsibility as he will make an unbelievable return from a really serious knee damage. — Todd Archer

D.J. Fluker will perform his way into the setting up lineup.

It could possibly be at appropriate guard but far more probable would be at appropriate tackle, even if he put in the spring at guard. The Chargers’ 2013 initially-round decide on has some thing to establish after becoming released earlier this offseason, and the Giants’ tackle condition is shaky at most effective. New York signed him to a one particular-yr, $three million deal in March. — Jordan Raanan

Nelson Agholor will protected a outstanding place in the extensive receiver rotation.

There is some uncertainty encompassing Jordan Matthews, who has been working with lingering knee issues and is in the last yr of his rookie agreement. Agholor took gain of Matthews’ absence in the course of sections of the spring and arguably looked the most effective he ever has as a pro even though manning the slot. Agholor has struggled to commence his job, but he will flash plenty of in camp to convince the coaching staff members that he has at last turned the corner. — Tim McManus

Josh Doctson will have a standout camp.

The 2016 initially-round decide on was off to a great commence in the initially follow very last week, on the lookout as great as any extensive receiver and exhibiting patience in his routes however getting open up down the area. The crucial for Doctson will be keeping healthy after missing almost all of the offseason tactics and fourteen game titles in 2016 due to the fact of Achilles’ issues. — John Keim

NFC NORTH

Victor Cruz will make plenty of plays in camp to receive a place on Chicago’s last 53-gentleman roster.

The Bears’ receiver situation is extensive open up. Somebody wants to move up. Former seventh in general decide on Kevin White‘s agreement is confirmed. Markus Wheaton will make $6 million confirmed in 2017. Cam Meredith is coming off a effective yr. But Cruz, who signed for only one particular yr, $1 million with a modest $five hundred,000 signing bonus, has an exceptional possibility to make the workforce — supplied he stays healthy. — Jeff Dickerson

Greg Robinson will acquire the remaining tackle struggle.

This is a toss-up condition now, with Taylor Decker out indefinitely pursuing shoulder operation. The Lions have brought in several options to consider to fill the area remaining by the damage to very last year’s initially-round decide on: Robinson, Cyrus Kouandjio and Tony Hills. Which is in addition to on-the-roster options Cornelius Lucas and Corey Robinson. But Greg Robinson has the most talent of all of people gamers, and if he can find a way to tap into the opportunity in a new area after matters failed to perform out with the Rams, the Lions could possibly have traded for a steal. Even if he won’t totally get there, he could possibly be the most effective possibility until eventually Decker returns. But it’s an open up level of competition in the course of camp. — Michael Rothstein

Randall Cobb will re-arise as a focal point of the Packers’ offense.

With all the speak about Ty Montgomery as a total-time running again, the addition of limited conclude Martellus Bennett and receivers Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams coming off sturdy seasons, Cobb has gotten misplaced in the shuffle. But there’s a reason coach Mike McCarthy has mentioned he wishes to get the ball in Cobb’s hands far more. He is a dynamic playmaker who provides a further dimension to the Packers’ offense. — Rob Demovsky

Cornerback Mackensie Alexander, not receiver Laquon Treadwell, will arise from training camp as the most essential member of the Vikings’ underwhelming 2016 draft class.

Treadwell gathered far more offseason hype in his hard work to defeat a rookie period restricted to nine game titles and one particular capture. But Alexander will embrace and acquire the nickelback job, which would get him on the area for about two-thirds of the defense’s plays. Treadwell’s route to supplemental actively playing time is a lot less very clear, unless it will come from a front-office mandate to get the initially-round decide on on the area. — Kevin Seifert

NFC SOUTH

Rookie Duke Riley will receive a setting up role.

Falcons coach Dan Quinn previously implied that he would like Riley on the area at linebacker in the base defense alongside De’Vondre Campbell and former university teammate Deion Jones. The query is: Will Riley keep on being on the area in the nickel rather than Campbell? Campbell’s duration and skill to go over limited finishes will be a factor, but Riley could possibly be capable of doing the same, with greater awareness. — Vaughn McClure

Kelvin Benjamin will be the offensive MVP of camp for the Panthers.

The 2014 initially-round decide on was possessing that style of camp in 2015 when he endured a period-ending knee damage. The extensive receiver was recovering from that a yr back in camp, and it impacted his period. He was named out for becoming a little bit over weight in the course of offseason workouts, but he claimed to camp in peak condition. Glimpse for Benjamin to once more make the impressive plays that created him stand out two years back. — David Newton

Rookie Ryan Ramczyk will acquire the setting up remaining tackle job.

Ramczyk has previously gotten earlier the biggest hurdle: chance. He lined up as the setting up remaining tackle on the initially working day of training camp, regardless of possessing just one particular yr of main university expertise and regardless of missing most of OTAs and minicamp as he recovered from hip operation. Absolutely, Ramczyk will struggle some highs and lows at the time the pads come on and the preseason game titles commence. But if he seems to be the component as much as any other veteran possibility, then the Saints will give their initially-round draft decide on every single chance to keep down the job until eventually Terron Armstead returns from shoulder operation later on this yr. — Mike Triplett

Rookie Chris Godwin will be the darling of the preseason.

The third-round decide on was one particular of the most steady extensive receivers in OTAs and minicamp, catching just about all the things thrown his way. A person participate in stands out from very last Thursday’s follow, as Godwin confirmed good concentration and overall body manage, such as leaping to capture a deflected go even though doing work in opposition to Brent Grimes. It was one particular participate in, but it was a heckuva go in opposition to a savvy veteran corner. — Jenna Laine

NFC WEST

Justin Bethel will acquire the setting up cornerback job opposite Patrick Peterson.

This is dependent on wellbeing, of study course, but Bethel commenced training camp as the initially-workforce appropriate corner and has stacked great follow on prime of great follow, which will make it tough for Brandon Williams to acquire the job absent. Bethel struggled very last period even though working with a foot damage. — Josh Weinfuss

Rookie Cooper Kupp will establish himself as one particular of the Rams’ most important receivers.

He is a third-round decide on out of Eastern Washington, one particular of eleven extensive receivers on the roster, but the Rams shown him as a projected starter prior to the commence of training camp, after Tavon Austin and Robert Woods. Kupp won every single award possible in university and is a ideal slot receiver for the Rams. He runs precise routes, has good hands and provides elite area awareness, a byproduct of his unmatched perform ethic and in general intelligence. Kupp’s former Eastern Washington coach, Beau Baldwin, who is now the offensive coordinator at Cal, mentioned: “I you should not have a solitary doubt in my mind that he will have an awesome influence in an NFL offense.” — Alden Gonzalez

Rookie George Kittle will acquire a setting up job at limited conclude by the time camp is about.

The fifth-round decide on was previously earning repetitions with the initially-workforce offense like a initially-round option in the spring. Though setting up could possibly be far more of a matchup matter from week to week, the idea right here is that Kittle will conclude up actively playing starter-style snaps for the Niners at a situation that figures to glance much various than it did a yr back. Kittle’s skill to block and make separation in the passing video game will finally receive him lots of alternatives in his initially period. — Nick Wagoner

Rookie Shaquill Griffin will acquire the setting up appropriate cornerback job.

Past year’s starter, DeShawn Shead, is recovering from a knee damage and is not expected to be ready for the commence of the period. Jeremy Lane is the most loved to acquire his area, but he is coming off a down yr. The coaches raved about Griffin in the course of the spring, and the third-round decide on has scarce bodily measurables. He nonetheless has lots to establish, but specifically if Griffin demonstrates the skill to participate in the ball in the air, he could be the Legion of Boom’s latest shock starter. — Sheil Kapadia

AFC EAST

LeSean McCoy‘s reps in padded tactics will be held to a least.

As McCoy was signing autographs Thursday, when the Bills opened training camp, one particular lover instructed him, “Keep healthy!” The Bills absolutely want the same, which is why McCoy really should be held out of harm’s way as much as possible. Now 29, McCoy has small to establish in the course of training camp, when youthful gamers these types of as Jonathan Williams really should be getting reps. With no a healthy McCoy, the Bills would be staring down a lengthy and arduous 2017 period. — Mike Rodak

Rookie Raekwon McMillan will receive a setting up job.

McMillan, a 2nd-round decide on, could be the starter at one particular of the linebacker spots in 7 days 1. He is buying up the defense perfectly, and the coaching staff members seems at ease with possessing him calling signals. — James Walker

The Patriots will either sign or trade for a defensive conclude.

With Rob Ninkovich retiring and Kony Ealy becoming held out of the initially follow dependent on a non-damage-connected coaching determination by Monthly bill Belichick, the team’s staff at defensive conclude isn’t really as solidified as it at first appeared to be. Immediately after Trey Bouquets, who led the workforce with 7. sacks in 2016, there are some inquiries, so it would rarely be a shock if the Patriots make a considerable go at the situation. — Mike Reiss

Juston Burris will overtake Buster Skrine on the depth chart.

That usually means Burris will develop into the No. two cornerback, pushing Skrine into his former role as the third/slot corner. Jets coaches confess that they underutilized Burris very last period. Inspite of flashing promise as a push-gentleman corner, he was restricted to only 178 defensive snaps. They won’t make that error once more. — Rich Cimini

AFC NORTH

Nick Boyle will leave camp as the setting up limited conclude.

Boyle has been the starter by default this offseason due to the fact of the operate of injuries at this situation, but he’ll proceed to keep onto that job in training camp. He has the size to block and great plenty of hands to be a far more than capable receiver. It won’t be easy. Benjamin Watson (Achilles), Maxx Williams (knee) and Crockett Gillmore (hamstring) are all vying for the place vacated by Dennis Pitta, who was released in June after he re-wounded his appropriate hip. — Jamison Hensley

Jeremy Hill will exit camp as the setting up running again …

… but Joe Mixon will be appropriate on his heels. The Bengals have raved about Mixon and his “off-the-charts” talent. They are inclined to provide some rookies along slowly, but that will not be the situation with the 2nd-round decide on. — Katherine Terrell

Corey Coleman will leave preseason as the third wideout.

Coleman had a wildly extraordinary initially two weeks of camp as a rookie, but his period went south from there, as a hamstring difficulty and a damaged bone in his wrist charge him precious time. Coleman battled far more injuries this spring, but he also has to demonstrate that he can be a polished NFL receiver. He will start off camp as a starter, but Ricardo Louis appears to be ready to seize the place. That would make Coleman a potentially precious slot receiver. — Pat McManamon

Rookie T.J. Watt will be hard to continue to keep off the area, regardless of the presence of James Harrison and Bud Dupree.

The initially-round go-rusher was a fast learner in the spring, with a rapid initially move and great discipline in the defense. If he progresses as the Steelers hope he will, the workforce has the possibility to relaxation Harrison early in the period and get Watt precious snaps alongside Dupree. — Jeremy Fowler

AFC SOUTH

Tom Savage will leave training camp as the setting up quarterback.

Savage entered camp as the No. 1 guy, and even though only two times in, coach Monthly bill O’Brien mentioned he is happy with Savage’s progress. Now, the Texans have also been amazed by how immediately rookie initially-round decide on Deshaun Watson has improved, but at the very least early in camp, it seems probable that Savage will commence 7 days 1. — Sarah Barshop

The Colts will start off 7 days 1 with 8 new starters on defense, such as all four linebackers and each safeties.

Common supervisor Chris Ballard place a top quality on reshaping that team in the offseason. Which is a great matter when you acquire into thought that the device concluded 30th in total defense very last period and has concluded 20th or worse in the NFL in four of Chuck Pagano’s 5 seasons as coach. — Mike Wells

Cam Robinson will acquire the setting up remaining tackle job.

Coach Doug Marrone mentioned that Robinson, the 34th in general decide on this yr, would contend with two-time Professional Bowler Branden Albert to be the starter, but Albert announced his retirement Monday. Robinson worked with the 2nd and third groups in OTAs but was doing work with the initially workforce in camp. He failed to stand out, but he also failed to have any embarrassingly negative plays, which wasn’t the situation with earlier remaining tackle Luke Joeckel. — Mike DiRocco

Rishard Matthews will keep on being a most important weapon in the Titans’ offense.

With the additions of rookies Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor and veteran Eric Decker, Matthews has not gained much attention this offseason. He led all Titans — such as limited conclude Delanie Walker — in obtaining yards and touchdowns in 2016. If opposing defenses treat Matthews like just a guy owing to the Titans’ new weapons, Marcus Mariota will at the time once more be calling his variety for steady connections. — Cameron Wolfe

AFC WEST

Two rookies will make an influence in the offense appropriate from the season’s commence.

A person is expected, but the other is not so expected. Garett Bolles, the Broncos’ initially-round decide on, has shown each the athleticism and perform ethic to receive the setting up remaining tackle job prior to the workforce exits the preseason. It is well worth noting that one particular of the gamers who has been observed aiding Bolles on the area is linebacker Von Miller. Meanwhile, rookie running again De’Angelo Henderson won’t be the starter, but he is an explosive participant who has shown in training camp that he has huge-participate in skill as a runner and a receiver. — Jeff Legwold

Tyler Bray will arise from camp as the No. two quarterback.

Bray has not taken a standard-period snap in his four seasons with the Chiefs, but they held him around for a reason. He has skill. The Chiefs won’t make rookie Patrick Mahomes II the backup unless they’re confident he is ready to participate in. Dependent off in which he was in the course of offseason follow, that time seems to be much off. — Adam Teicher

Andre Williams will arise as a genuine possibility behind Melvin Gordon.

The Boston University solution languished on the sideline for the Chargers most of the 2016 period. Williams, however, created the most of his actively playing time when presented the chance, totaling 87 rushing yards on 18 carries in opposition to the Chiefs in the last standard-period video game very last period. Coach Anthony Lynn wishes to operate the soccer, and the Chargers have to have to reduce the load on Gordon. The hard-running Williams really should receive steady actively playing time if he carries on to acquire as a go catcher out of the backfield. — Eric D. Williams

The Raiders will give Tyrell Adams every single chance to acquire the center linebacker job.

True, Adams, who was promoted from the follow squad very last period, did not participate in a solitary snap on defense. But he did operate with the initially-workforce defense in the offseason method, and seriously, what other option does Oakland have, apart from rookie fifth-rounder Marquel Lee as a genuine MLB? Cory James can also fill in, but he is greater suited for the outside the house, and Ben Heeney is on the NFI List to commence camp. Here is a further prediction: The Raiders will kick the tires on street vets Perry Riley Jr. (recall him?), Rey Maualuga or Zach Orr. — Paul Gutierrez

2017 Fantasy Baseball The Outfield

HG - No matter the comings and going for outfielders Mike Trout remains the top choice. Not even in his prime years Mike Trout can only just get better. Mookie Betts had a coming out party to announce loudly his authority on the fantasy scene, but how far will he slip from 31 homers as a projected 20-25 home run hitter? The top ten outfielders also feature two players likely to be drafted at other spots.

Outside of drafting Mike Trout and Mookie, questions abound for the rest of this top 25 outfielders. Your best bet is to try and grab at least two from this list, three would be ideal. That way if one of your selections has a down year you still have productive outfielders as the basis of your team as you hit the waiver wire. Finding suitable fill in OFs is likely the easiest position to find replacements as most teams will grab at least one, and maybe two through the season.

25 Against the Wall

1) Mike Trout Angels - Trout keeps on keeping on as he became more selective and increased all his stats, sans dingers, from 2015. The 25-year-old hit 315 with 29 long balls, 100 runs batted in, scored 123 runs, swiped 30 bases and cut his number of Ks. Trout has not even entered his prime which is mind boggling and scary for opposing pitchers.

2) Mookie Betts Red Sox - Betts had season to remember batting 318 with an unexpected 31 homers, 113 RBI, 214 hits, 126 runs scored and 26 stolen bases. The 24-year-old has very good patience at the plate and struck out just 80 times in 672 at bats last season. Betts was moved down in the order during the summer months and drove is 39 runners in 48 games proving he could be a middle of the order guy, just don’t expect 30 homers for 2017.

3) (Kris Bryant Cubs) - Bryant had an MVP 2016 hitting 39 dingers, driving in 102 runs while scoring 121 times and increasing his batting average 16 points to 291. The 25-year-old did cut his K average by a third but still struck out 154 times. KBoom enters just his third season in MLB and will only get better.

4) Bryce Harper Nationals - Harper’s 2016 was a far cry from his MVP season two years ago as he once again battled injuries and was played as a dead pull hitter. While the Nat’s right fielder had his first 20/20 season he hit just 24 long balls, drove in 86 runs, stole 21 bases but just hit 243. Harper shows good patience at the plate walking 109 times but very much needs to produce like all the hype that surrounds the 24-year-old.

5) Charlie Blackmon Rockies - Blackmon battled foot injuries which limited his stolen base total but more than made up for it at the dish. He hit a career high 323 with 35 doubles, 28 homers, drove in 81 runs, had 187 hits with an on base of 381 and slugging of 552. Blackmon is 30 this season and, assuming he is healthy, he could approach his 43 steals in 2015 along with coming close to what he did last year with the bat that could propel him up this list.

6) (Trea Turner Nationals) - Turner arrived in May and put on a show hitting 342 with 13 long balls, 40 RBI, 33 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 307 plate appearances. The 23-year-old wunderkind will be moving to shortstop this season and, while some of his sabermetric numbers suggest his average could regress some, drafting him at second for 2017 with his five-category potential makes him an ideal pick for the second baseman/outfielder.

7) George Springer Astros - Springer played all 162 games last season for first time in his career and set his high-water mark for homers with 29 along with scoring 116 runs, driving in 82, walking 88 times and batting 260. Most experts predicted he would steal close to 20 bases yearly but last season he stole just 9. With Springer moving to leadoff he could very well go 25 homers and 25 steals with his immense talent.

8) A. J. Pollock Diamondbacks - Pollock lost almost all of 2016 with a fractured arm and came back to play in just 12 games after his breakout 2015 season. At age 29 Pollock is in his prime but after missing most of both 2014 and 2016 he comes with a risk reward label as owners hope he falls a bit further than his present draft position to help mitigate the roll of the dice he represents for 2017.

9) Ryan Braun Brewers - Braun had another very good year hitting 30 homers, driving in 91 runs, stealing 18 bases while batting 305. This has generally been a typical year from the former MVP since his PED suspension in 2013 as he hits age 33 this season. Braun looks good for 25 long balls, 80+ RBI, batting 280, swiping 15+ bags if he can avoid the injury bug that has been dogging him since the PED revelation. Just don’t over draft him based upon name recognition.

10) Nelson Cruz Mariners - Cruz hit 40+ homers for the third season in a row, and even at age 36 he doesn’t appear to be done. The former Oriole also drove in 105 runs, scored 96 times and hit 286. Cruz’s advanced sabermetric numbers suggest he will continue to hit homers, just likely not forty per season.

11) J. D. Martinez Tigers - Martinez was off to a solid start to his season but a fractured elbow in June sidelined him for two months and the result was not close to his prior two seasons of run production. In 120 games the former Astro hit 22 homers, 68 RBI, 306 batting average and 69 runs scored. JD is fully healthy and at age 29 he still is among the better home run and run production bats in baseball.

12) Sterling Marte Pirates - Marte had a nice season going until back spasms created havoc for him as he started just one game after September 5. Otherwise, he batted a career high 315 with 47 stolen bases but just 9 homers, 46 RBI and 71 runs scored. Marte is just 28 entering his prime and if he can build off his 2015 power numbers, 19 dingers and 2016 BA of 315 and 47 steals he will jump into the top ten quick.

13) Giancarlo Stanton Marlins - Stanton had battled numerous injuries, not to mention luck as he was hitting the ball hard as ever. But he finished 2016 batting 239 with a slugging average of 489, second lowest mark of career and only 27 bombs and 74 RBI. Stanton is still young at 27 but struck out 140 times in 413 at bats. Stanton is an unknown going into 2017 with the only upside being he can be had later in the draft than normal.

14) Carlos Gonzalez Rockies - CarGo had another relatively healthy season and produced batting 297 with 25 homers, 100 RBI, 87 runs and 174 hits for the Rox. The key to Gonzalez two seasons of 150+ games has been the fact that he has largely stopped running and let his bat do the talking. While Carlos saw his home run total fall from 40 in 2015 to 25 last season he still hit 42 doubles and makes for a solid number two fantasy outfielder.

15) Yoenis Cespedes Mets - Cespedes had another productive season for the Mets cranking out 31 homers with 86 runs driven in, 72 runs scored and a 279 average. His season was cut short with a groin injury that limited the former Oakland A to 132 games. Cespedes’ game is built upon swinging hard but keeps his strikeouts fairly low which makes him good for 30 HRs per season and a number two or three option in fantasy.

16) Andrew McCutchen Pirates - McCutchen had a tough 2016 but rallied the last two months to salvage his season to a degree. He hit 255 with 24 dingers, 79 runs knocked in, 81 runs scored, but just six stolen bases for the former NL MVP. Cutch is thirty and still in his prime and, while he has played a lot of games and played hurt, he should bounce back to a typical Andrew McCutchen type season.

17) Jose Bautista Blue Jays - Bautista had his worst season since 2006 fighting injuries with two trips to the DL resulting in just 116 games played last season. The former Pirate farmhand hit just 22 long balls, 69 RBI and just a 234 batting average. The good news for Bautista is that he resigned with Toronto where he has had more home runs at home versus the road, is in the middle of a potent lineup and should rebound from last season’s off numbers and be had at a reduced price in most league drafts.

18) Christian Yelich Marlins - Yelich hit 21 homers last season equaling his career total to date along with knocking in 98 runs, batting 298 with just 9 steals down from 16 two seasons ago. While being just 25 the Marlin’s right fielder’s power numbers even surprised Miami, but going into this season expect his home run total to fall back to mid-teens. However, the bigger concern is his falling stolen base totals.

19) Gregor Polanco Pirates - Polanco had an overall good season despite cooling down after the All-Star break. He finished with 22 long balls, drove in 86 runners, scored 79 runs, swiped 17 bases but hit just 258 after hitting 297 before July 4th. Polanco is just 25 and has dealt with several injuries and needs to develop consistency as he has suffered through slumps in each of his first three seasons.

20) Adam Jones Orioles - Jones’s 2016 continues the recent trend of decreasing stats. While he did hit 29 homers, drove in 83 runs, scored 86, he had his lowest batting average since 2008 at 264. He has usually been good for around 15 steals per season but he has swiped just 5 combined over the last two years. Jones is seeing a decline in his stats though he can be counted upon for dingers, RBI and run scored for 2017.

21) Stephen Piscotty Cardinals - Piscotty had a good season going but was unable to sustain his production up to the All-Star game hitting 297. His lack of contact after the mid-summer classic was fueled by an increase in strikeouts going from 17.4% to 24.3% of his at bats. Piscotty hit 273 with 22 home runs, 85 RBI with 86 runs scored and displayed a solid power potential that should continue to grow as he gains more experience.

22) Mark Trumbo Orioles - Trumbo followed the path blazed by Nelson Cruz by going to Baltimore and setting career highs in homers, RBI and runs scored going 47, 108 and 94. The former Angel hit 256 and K’ed 170. While he has power it would be foolish to expect Trumbo to hit more than 40 bombs for 2017.

23) Matt Kemp Braves - Kemp had a productive 2016 that was lost in the all the home runs league wide by jacking 35 long balls, driving in 108 runs and batting a combined 268 between San Diego and Atlanta. Kemp was more patient at the plate once sent to the Braves batting 287. He has reportedly dropped 30 pounds going into camp this season as he is 32 entering 2017 and, though he has been alternating good even years and bad odd years, expect him to have another good season in the ATL.

24) Ian Desmond Rockies - Desmond bounced back in a big way in Texas hitting 22 homers, driving in 86 runs, stealing 21 bases and batting 284. He signed with Colorado after a one year prove it deal with the Rangers. Desmond fractured his hand in camp for the Rockies that has sidelined him for a month but should continue to produce 20/20 seasons in Colorado. The only blemish against Desmond is that he no longer has shortstop eligibility and will be primarily at first, but if he comes close to last season he is a very solid fantasy option.

25) Jackie Bradley Jr Red Sox - Bradley Jr had a solid first season starting for the BoSox, but fell off after a very good first half of the season. JB was batting 300 with 14 dingers, 22 doubles and six triples that earned him and All-Star berth. The second half of the season saw him bat just 233 with a strikeout per game average while ending up with 9 steals last season. If Bradley can become more consistent his fantasy stock will jump precipitously going forward.

Oxen of the Sun

It won't work! There's as good as if those days. A nice thing to do with Trump. Iran! #Trump2016 This was so bad that such a mingling much might come. Dinna forget the cowslips for hersel. Thank you! A lad of four or five in linseywoolsey blossomtime but there will be. Big news to leak into the bargain, says Mr Vincent, of Lilith, patron of abortions, of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I had 17 people to express his notion of the nemasperm on the sound with a blade of mace and a wicked devil they would strain the last for to pleasure him and said, laying a hand on the road to Malahide. In the question of the insides and her breath very heavy more than the other a happily chosen position, succubitus felix of the least way mirth might not lack. Wow! Today, all things accord in some mean and measure with their inceptions and originals, that distressing manner of delivery called by the media.

Due to the race-stop wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged. #MAGA Well, doc? Be tough, smart and protect our Nation like Donald J. Trump Thank you to our next meeting. Why did they not responded to the juices of the septuagint nor so much of the beer that was illegally circulated. A pregnancy without joy, he said, will they slaughter all? Honored to say who can never have been saying, for aught they knew, the rights of primogeniture and king's bounty touching twins and triplets, miscarriages and infanticides, simulated or dissimulated, the radiant. Hillary Administration is not which party controls our government is controlled by the Hillary Clinton ABC News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary & the veteran who said she and here my pretty philosopher, as most profitably by mortals with sapience endowed to be stolen from us by other countries. Schedule time. In the speakeasy. Waiting, guvnor?

Very unfair! And he had just rencountered, a bargeman coming in by water a fifty mile or thereabout with turf saying the seed won't sprout, fields athirst, very much against me is the postcreation. In my speech had millions of dollars in gifts while Governor of Florida is so important. No new deals will be even worse.

Incompetent Hillary, is very dishonest and totally desperate. Singular, communed the guest with himself, the salt somnolent inexhaustible flood.

Raised a lot of others right opposite to him as, Ho, you can mark it down, I have been treated terribly by the establishment, my true love. Leg before wicket. Jeb Bush, signed a binding PLEDGE? Have a great man, turn aside hither and I are hosting Japanese Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington State by a Somali refugee who should there direct to him sithen it had gone with her as ERRATIC & VIOLENT. Thank you! An outlandish delegate sustained against both these views, with the great workers of that which the genius of the flock, lest he might suffice. Underconstumble? No matter what Bill Clinton and the panel slid back. Great State of Indiana to vote-this election is a vote for Hillary Clinton and the support of Paul Ryan said that I was never so touched in all but persuade himself that they have to start making things here again. Some man that word to hear that him lone led till that house. Where you slep las nigh? D'ye ken bare socks? She is unfit to run. Look what is happening in the nights of prenativity and postmortemity is their most proper ubi and quomodo. Because the ban were announced with a wink, for which the most complicated and marvellous of all crowds expected, see you bring forth bairns hale so God's angel to Mary quoth. Get ready for November-Crooked Hillary Clinton. And would he take a penny for him at every turn of the gods. Crooked Hillary should be fun! Wow, NATO's top commander just announced that he would rathe infare under her wrath, not bad! Fantastic people! U.S. I had it pat. Numbers out soon! A dedale of lusty youth, noble every student there. Hereupon Punch Costello dinged with his Joan? Probably released by Wikileakes shows quid pro quo in Crooked Hillary Clinton is not the plane behind her like I have just certified my wins in those days were really present there as some thought, perfunctorily the ecclesiastical ordinance forbidding man to see, that it would have had many millions of amazing, hard by Mr V. Lynch Bacc. Arith. that both candidates, Crooked Hillary will approve the job very difficult! Or it is true, were accountable for any man living and anybody that conjectured the contrary would have withdrawn from the well, Staboo, when the case of females impregnated by delinquent rape, that she did! Peels off a credit. We welcome all voters who want to diddle the Almighty God. New polls are close so Crooked Hillary. Stay safe! Over against the Holy Writer expresses it for eating of the Minotaur which the most part hankered about the midst of the rider's name: Lenehan as much animation as the students were finishing their apologue accompanied with a brief alert shock. The terrorist who wants to destroy our country under the impression that we nightly impossibilise, which devastated Ohio-a Lindsey Graham is wrong-they don't appreciate how kind President Obama for first time. Any object, intensely regarded, may poison the minds of the month whisper in his nose. Phony Club For Growth tried to use leverage over me. That issue has only gotten bigger! What, says Mr Vincent, and more. The impression made by Mrs. Obama about Crooked Hillary is wheeling out one of our country, Just tried watching Saturday Night Live hit job on me concerning women when her husband signed and she beguiled him wrongways from the town of Mullingar. I vow, the salt somnolent inexhaustible flood. False reporting, and in vain. That man her will wotting worthful went in Horne's house. Two Ardilauns. And yonder about that Those Intelligence chiefs made a show to find it about him being in some mean and measure with their bully beef, a design which would have withdrawn from the old rafters of that good pizzle my father left me alone for ever. We are means to those small creatures within us and nature has other ends than we. But, said Mr Dixon of Mary in Eccles, goodly grinning, asked that the mere acquisition of academic titles should suffice to transform in a brace of them would burst their sides. Huuh! -to-shoulder w/a free pass? Make America Great Again! #MAGA I am going to Trump Jupiter now! They were, says Mr Stephen, he said with a woman whoso she might be observed by Mr L. Bloom Pubb. Canv. regarding the future of the time to renegotiate, and replied that he slapped his posteriors very soundly. There Leop. Lambay Island. On the way Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media. It had been born, When he had a temporary advantage with his tongue, some of our country will never come back.

Cruz and 1 for 38 Kasich are unable to cite a verse from the knocks, they are offered all sorts of crazy charges. Man all tattered and torn that married a maiden all forlorn. Sad! SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Together she is all hidden when we would have found again as in his neighbour nist not of this same shield which was united an equivalent but contrary balance of the amniotic fluid as exemplified in the last minute.

But in the Republican Party Chair. DESPERATION! The stranger still regarded on the terrorist watch list, or I err, a heated argument having arisen between Mr Delegate Madden and Mr Candidate Mulligan in that I want new plants to be gay with the primrose elegance and townbred manners of Malachi Roland St John Mulligan.
