FHE Whiffle Ball

Last night was Monday night, which inevitably means FHE. Now, I've already admitted that I secretly like FHE. However...
I was home alone when it was time to go to FHE, and as I am extremely dependent on wing men to get me through social activities, I almost didn't go, but I did.
I show up at the infamous apartment 40, and walk in to the delightful sight of my roommate Rebecca. Heaven was obviously smiling down upon me. After the longest and most awkward FHE spiritual thought in history, we got down to business and headed out the door to play some whiffleball.
What is whiffleball? I didn't know either, and that's why I wikipediaed it before I left my apartment. It's like baseball, but with a plastic bat and ball. The ball is white, the same size of a baseball but its hollow and half of it has holes in it. Apparently the holes make it easier to curve...
So we get to the stake center and I'm pretty much clinging to Rebecca, terrified that I'm about to play a sport when I all around suck at sports. She looks at me and says, "Calm down! It's just FHE whiffleball!". However, it was apparently not just FHE whiffleball, as the pitcher, Chris, was way too intense. And then Caleb was just off the charts screaming and missing the ball. And then someone hit the ball so hard that it split open. Or what about the arguing over whether or not someone was safe? I was terrified, and I really just wanted to pee my pants.
It was finally my turn to bat, and luckily the pitcher changed to Craig, who was a lot less ridiculous about pitching than Chris had been. So I actually make contact with the ball and make it to first. Score one for me. Then Rebecca goes and does the same thing, and I make it to second. At some point, I actually made it home, as did Rebecca. It was a shock to all, but the happiest moment of FHE whiffleball history.
After going home, Rebecca finds out that there are refreshments at apt. 40 that the boys didn't want everyone to know about. So we show up, much to some people's dismay (mostly Eric Merrill and Chris') and enjoy the Oreos that REBECCA had purchased for the occasion. Best moment?
"It smells really good in here."
"Like what?"
"Well, like potpourri or something."
"Well, you are standing by the air freshener."
"... Oh, I thought that someone just used really good detergent..."

Honestly, what would you do without me?

I would never bruise you either. Just so you know.
