When their plane landed, the team was attacked da the press. They had Kiki scream a few times, and they left. They got in a limo, and were driven to the Sports Nation studio.
“We really get to be on TV?” Megan asked.
“Yes, but I’m not.” Emma said.
“You’re camera shy, I remember.” Kacey said.
“Well, we’re almost late for our interview.” Raleigh said.
“C’mon, Wally!” Kuki said, grabbing Wally’s hand.
In the studio, the kids were amazed. They were greeted da Sally, a girl who works there.
“Hey, kids!” Sally said. “Are te here for a field trip?”
Emma handed her a paper.
Sally looked through the pages. Her eyes widened. “So, you’re the Hyenas!” She exclaimed. “I heard the team was young but I thought it was teenagers.”
“No way, lady.” Wally said. “We’re the youngest pro sports team EVER.”
“What a cute little boy!” Sally said.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“Don’t call me little!” Wally grunted.
“I’m sorry.” Sally said. “I’ll mostra te kids the room we’ll be talking in.”
Sally led the kids into a big room. She let them sit in two big couches. Then, they went back on the air.
“Hello, SportsNation! I’m Sally Callen, and today I’m here with the youngest pro sports team EVER, the Minor League Baseball team, the Hyenas!”
The team waved. Emma stayed behind the camera, making sure everything went good.
“Here is the team leader, one of the youngest on the team.” Sally said, gesturing to Wally.
“He was the youngest.” Kacey pointed out. “Until one of our players was injured in an accident and we needed a back-up.” She pointed to Kuki.
“Wow!” Sally said.
“Ya, and our back-up player is our captain’s girlfriend.” Raleigh giggled.
“Shut up, Raleigh!” Wally said.
“Ooh! Some on-field love?" Sally asked.
The team giggled.
"NO!" Wally said. "I'm the pitcher and Kuki's in the outfield. I never to talk to her on the field."
"What about in the benches?" Sally wondered.
"They smooch!" Kiki laughed.
"DO NOT!" Wally yelled.
"And Kuki, you've been quiet in all of this. What do te have to say?" Sally asked Kuki.
"Um, well, we don't 'smooch' on the benches." Kuki answered.
"But what DO te do?" Sally asked.
"Why do te have to know?" Kuki said. "Now that we're famous, we can't have privacy in our relationship?"
Everyone lifted an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry. I did not mean to butt in." Sally said. "But all your fan are waiting to know."
"I prefer to keep it private." Kuki raised her head.
"You don't keep it private during practice when ya run your mouth about how cute Wally looks in his outfit!" Christian yelled.
"Or when ya call him your 'Luvey Duvey Wuvey Wally'!" Megan said.
Kuki remained calm. "That's different."
"Is not!" David said.
"You guys!" Wally said. "Button your mouths before I button them for ya!"
"Wally, calm down." Kuki said. "No need for violence."
"Ya, Wally!" Raleigh said.
"THAT'S IT!" Wally hopped on Raleigh. While Kacey and Kiki tried to pry him off, David and Christian had to make sure Raleigh didn't fight back.
"OK, um, that's it for this interview." Sally said. "I'm Sally Callen, signing off."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Getting off the plane in Denver was worse than in L.A. The Hyenas were swarmed with press, and fans. There were kids with WallyxKuki t-shirts, but Kacey scared them off with her Ultimate Collection.
They got in their limo to their hotel, where they divided up the two rooms.
"OK, David, Christian, Wally, Kuki, me, and Raleigh in one room," Kacey said. "An Abby, Kiki, Megan, and Emma in the other."
Emma and Abby took the letto that diviso, spalato into two, and Kiki and Megan didn't mind sharing a bed.
David and Christian didn't exactly jump at the sharing a letto idea, but they accepted. Kacey asked Wally if they'd have their normal situation, but he detto he's too old for sharing a letto with his cousin. Kacey and Raleigh decided to take the big bed, which meant Kuki and Wally were left.
"Ooh..." David said.
"Shut. Up." Wally said. He was about to lose his steam.
"Guys, be nice." Raleigh said. "She's his first GIRLFRIEND."
"Shut up!" Wally said.
"Be nice to Wally!" Kuki said. "I was keeping my temper on TV, but I'm gonna let it go NOW!"
"Whoa, this is getting ugly." Kacey said. "Let's all calm down."
"Why?" Wally said. "These guys keep making fun of me."
"THEY'RE MY FRIENDS!" Kacey said. "THEY'RE GONNA MAKE FUN OF YOU!"
"Leave him alone!" Kuki said. "He's MY boyfriend, and I'm not gonna let anyone hurt him!"
"HE'S MY COUSIN! I'VE KNOWN THE TWERP SICE HE WAS BORN!" Kacey yelled.
"Yup," Kiki detto from the other room. "They're fighting again."
"Typical." Megan thought allowed.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOP!" Raleigh yelled.
"What?" Kacey looked at her.
"You guys are fighting like children!" Raleigh yelled.
They stared at her.
"Sorry, wrong choice of words." Raleigh said. "Still, cut it out! Let's go to sleep!"
"NO! I'LL YELL UNTIL MY LUNGS BREAK!" Kacey said.
"NOOO!" David yelled. "DON'T BREAK YOUR LUNGS! WHAT ABOUT THE OPERA PERFORMANCE te RESERVED FOR ME?!"
"NO OPERA PERFORMANCE FOR YOU, I WILL YELL UNTIL YOUR EARS BLEED AND te GO DEAF!" Kacey yelled back.
Christian and Raleigh giggled.
"OK, that's it!" Wally yelled. He was about the strangle Kacey, David, Christian, and Raleigh, when purple smoke, floating hands, and laughter filled the air.
In the other room, Kiki began saying "OH SH-" But was stopped, when a man with a Transylvanian accent spoke.
"Hello, naughty childrens."
