[HEY. His BALL. "It's Taichi's ball." HIS BALL. The one reason Taichi can manage to steal it so easily is because Luke pulls up short, his run and jog ebbing into a slow stop to catch his breath.]
I can--I plan to, but that doesn't mean they'll let me back on.
anyway taichi doesn't know about that in this thread, so he steals the ball and kicks it into his goal, turning to face luke instead of retrieving it immediately.]
At least you'd know. And if they don't, then maybe they aren't friends worth having anyway.
His mouth opens, but he can't find any way to argue that exactly. So his mouth shuts quickly, and he looks away, troubled. He has to choose between ambition, and friendship?]
I don't want to give up on what I want, but... I don't want to give up on friends either.
[he seems a little satisfied to know he made his point.]
I don't think there's an easy answer. But I do think there are other ways to get what you want. There's always going to be baseball no matter what and you can always join another team if that's all you want to do, but having good friends is harder to come by.
The only way you'll find out who'll stick with you is if you ask.

What makes you think they'll let me back on?

I thought it was about being on the baseball team. I can't play if we don't get along.
[No, the GOAL. ARGH.]
no subject
You tell me. Do you care more about playing baseball, or about being friends with the people you used to play with?
