Space jam: alex, rachel, and rj's adventure

Chapter 1: like brother like sister/new attractions for moron mountain

(Our story begins on a dark, starry night).

(We see a small house with a long driveway, a small black roof, 4 windows, and a little green mailbox).

(Inside the house we see a bedroom door open and a young girl walks out of it wearing a light orange shirt and long gray pants. Her name is rachel).

(We see rachel look around the hall her room is in and she heads down past the bathroom to a room that is close to her. She opens the door and enters).

(Inside the room we see 2 young boys laying in a bunk bed together. One is wearing a while short sleeved shirt and short blue pants, and the other is wearing a black no sleeve shirt and long red pants. Their names are Alex and rj rachel's 2 brothers).

Rachel:

(Walks over to the bottom bunk and shakes her brother Alex). Hey alex. Alex u awake?

(Alex moves around a bit but does not wake up).

(Rachel shakes him a bit more and starts to tickle his feet).

Alex:

(Giggles and wakes up. Sees rachel next to him). Oh hey rachel. (rubs his eyes). What time is it?

Rachel:

Almost past midnight.

Alex:

Oh dang. Well what are you doing up almost past midnight?

Rachel:

I couldn't sleep. Hey bro.

Alex:

Yeah?

Rachel:

You wanna play some basketball?

Alex:

(Smiles). I thought you would never ask sis. Alright I got time for a game.

Rachel:

Alright! Hey should we wake rj up for the game?

Alex:

Yeah one sec.

(Alex gets out of bed and heads to the top bunk and moves rj a bit).

Alex:

Hey bro wake up.

Rj:

(Moves and moans).

Alex:

Come on rj get up.

Rj:

Mmmmm mr. bear please no more double chocolate cake.

Rachel:

Uhhh what the…?

Alex:

Man rj has some weird dreams. Rj up and at em! (slaps rj's leg).

Rj:

Ow! What did you do that for you jerk? I was having a nice dream.

Alex:

Yeah I can see that. Come on rj get up.

Rj:

Why?

Rachel:

We are gonna play basketball.

Rj:

Oh really? Well why didn't you say so? Wait, let me get my boom box. (Gets out of bed and runs for the closet).

Rachel:

When did he get a boombox?

Alex:

I don't know. And I don't wanna know.

(A few seconds later we see the 3 open the sliding glass door to their backyard and we see them walk out wearing sweatshirts and a basketball in Alex's hand).

Rachel:

Oooh it's chilly out tonight.

Alex:

Yeah I know.

(Just then rj comes running out with his boombox and puts it on the ground).

Alex:

Come on rj you ready or not?

Rj:

I am. Just gotta lay down some sick beats.

Rachel:

Sick beats?

(Rj turns on his boombox and 's "i believe i can fly").

Alex:

Oooh nice pick.

Rj:

Yeah it's his best song. Alright so let's get this party started.

(Alex dribbles the ball a bit and passes it to rj who then dribbles it around his body and off his foot then proceeds to shoot it off his head and the ball lands in the net).

Rj:

Oh yeah 3 points baby!

Alex:

I see you have been practising.

Rj:

Yeah gotta stay in shape for the team of course.

Alex:

Honestly rj the only reason i see u practice ever is for an all day looney tunes marathon

Rj:

Hey, what can I say? Love me some looney tunes. But hey if u thought that shot was nice watch this (grabs the ball).

(Rj bounces the ball a few times and tries to shoot it from his foot but the ball bounces off the rim and lands on the ground near Alex).

Rj:

Ah crap.

Alex:

Dad always said never get too cocky. Hey Rachel, show us your stuff. (Passes the ball to Rachel).

(Rachel dribbles the ball a bit and shows off a lay up move she has been working on).

Rj:

Wow.

Alex:

Not bad rachel. Your skills are getting really good.

Rj:

Yeah with a move like that combined with my moves you will definitely be on the team for sure.

Alex:

Well i wouldn't agree with that, but yeah you can definitely make the team for sure.

Rachel:

(Sighs) yeah. If dad can agree on that.

Rj:

Oh right. Forgot dad wont let u on the team.

Alex:

Why? He never told me?

Rj:

It's because dad thinks girls shouldn't play basketball.

Alex:

What that is ridiculous. Doesn't dad know that there is a wnba?

Rachel:

Yeah but dad doesn't like to hear that it exists.

Alex:

Ah.

Rachel:

Besides, It's okay guys. I just dont think I'm cut out to be on the team.

(Alex goes over to his sister and puts his hands on her shoulders).

Alex:

Listen rache…

Rachel:

Don't do that. Don't call me rache. I hate that nickname.

Rj:

Oh come on when we were younger you used to like that nickname.

Rachel:

Yeah well that nickname is kinda getting old.

Alex:

Look sis. I know you and dad don't really agree on this, but I'm sure if you talk to him more about it… he might be up to the idea.

Rachel:

But what if he doesn't listen?

Alex:

Well then we will talk to him about it. Cause no matter what. You're always part of the team whether dad likes it or not.

Rachel:

(Sniffles a bit and hugs her brother) thank you so much alex. You're a great older brother.

Alex:

I'm glad to be your older brother.

Rj:

Okay this is all good and nice but can we finish this game? It's getting cold and I'm about to freeze my butt off.

(Both Alex and Rachel chuckle).

Alex:

Yeah let's finish this game up.

?:

alex, rj, rachel!

(Just then the 3 look at the back door and they see an older man wearing a gray sweatshirt and long black shorts walk towards them. This large man is their father Harvey).

Harvey:

What are you kids doing out here? It's after midnight.

Alex:

We couldn't sleep, dad.

Harvey:

Well neither can me and your mother with that racket from rj's boombox.

Rj:

Hey don't bad mouth the boombox dad. Besides, Rachel was the one who wanted us to come out here and play basketball.

Harvey:

Rachel. Is this true?

Rachel:

(Hangs her head down). Yes.

Alex:

Its not her fault dad. She just wanted to play basketball with us. And she is really good.

Harvey:

I understand that Alex, but what are you getting at?

Alex:

Well… you see… well we…

Rachel:

I want to join the team!

(Everyone looks at her).

Harvey:

Rachel. We both talked about this. You know you can't join the team…

Rachel:

I know dad I know… but I really want to join. I can show you how good I am if you let me show you…

Harvey:

That is enough. We will talk about this tomorrow.

Rachel:

I… (Sighs). Yes dad.

Harvey:

Okay good girl. Alright everyone inside before you catch a cold.

(The 3 head back inside with their father, however Rachel looks back at the hoop and the ball on the ground one last time).

(As Rachel looks at her hands, she clenches them, sighs and goes for the ball and dribbles it a lot and goes for a sweet looking dunk).

(Space jam theme plays).

(5 years later).

(We see Rachel as she is now 15 years old, walking on the street until she is approached by her friend Samantha).

Samantha:

Hey rachel.

Rachel:

Hey samantha.

Samantha:

So I hear your brothers got a game tonight. You gonna go?

Rachel:

Actually i'm on my way to the gym now, but i'm kinda running a bit late cause i needed to pick up a cake.

Samantha:

A cake for a basketball team? Wow reiner's has got every single cake then.

Rachel:

Seems like it. Hey you wanna come watch?

Samantha:

Eh sorry no. I would love to but… I'm not into i gotta get ready for a test tomorrow in class. But maybe we can all hang out later.

Rachel:

Yeah maybe. Well I better get going before I miss it.

Samantha:

Yeah. well say hi to your brothers for me k?

Rachel:

You got it.

(Rachel and Samantha both say bye and Rachel heads off).

(A few seconds later. Rachel arrives at the local gym and heads inside).

(Inside the gym we see a basketball game taking place between Rachel's brother's team "the ice cats taking on the orange cheetah's).

(Rachel spots her mother named Nancy on the bleachers and sits next to her).

Rachel:

Hey mom.

Nancy:

Rachel, where were you?

Rachel:

Sorry I got caught up with a project for school. I didn't miss anything, did i?

Nancy:

Not much. They just need 2 more points to win the game.

Rachel:

Nice. Come on guys, you can do it.

(On the court…).

Harvey:

Okay kids this is it. We just need the last 2 points to make it to the finals of the junior basketball league. Now I know you kids can do this, but… it all falls on my two boys to get the last point for us.

Alex:

Dad…

Harvey:

I know, I know. Everyone counts. Alright let's finish this strong kids. Hands in.

(All the kids put their hands in with the coach).

Harvey:

1, 2 3…

Alex/rj/kds:

Break!

(The kids break their circle and get ready to finish the game strong).

(As the final seconds tick down on the clock. One of the kids passes the ball to Alex who dribbles it down the court and gets caught between 2 other players).

(Rj signals Alex to pass the ball to him and he does but rj fakes out the player in front of him and goes for a dunk and makes it).

(The buzzer goes off and the crowd cheers).

Referee:

that's the game!

(A few minutes go by and we see Harvey hugging his 2 boys).

Harvey:

U kids are so amazing. I am so proud of you 2.

Rj:

Come on dad not in front of the guys.

(Nancy and Rachel walk up to Harvey, Alex, and RJ).

Nancy:

You guys did great.

Harvey:

Yeah I told them that. Now all we need to do is beat our old rivals at the finals and we will be the champions of the town.

Rachel:

I just caught a glimpse of the end of the game, sorry I was late.

Alex:

Hey it's okay rache. You still came so that is good.

Rachel:

Wow 5 years later and you're still calling me that nickname.

Harvey:

Well good thing you came honey. Come on Nancy, let's get these kids home and we can have some fun later tonight.

Nancy:

Oh you.

(Harvey and Nancy head out of the gym as we see Rachel hang her head a bit).

Rj:

Hey Rachel, it's okay.

Alex:

I'm sure he will let you come onto the team next year.

Rj:

I wouldn't bet on that.

Alex:

Rj!

Rj:

What?

Alex:

(looks at Rachel). Are you okay?

Rachel:

Yeah. I'm okay. Come on, let's go home.

(Alex, Rachel, and rj leave the gym).

(Meanwhile we change the scenery… to router space).

(In space we come upon the most popular theme park in all the galaxy… or more like the worst theme park in the whole galaxy known as moron mountain).

(Inside the theme park we see an alien father and son enjoying a ride that flings them from said ride into another park of the park).

Alien kid:

Let's get out of here dad, this stinks. Don't bring me here anymore alright?

(Just then. We enter the office of the owner of the theme park, a chubby green alien named swackhammer).

Swackhammer:

Are you listening? Did you hear him? Did you hear him? That little brat is right. i ve told you, if i told you once, i told you a thousand, thousand, thousand, thousand times! WE NEED NEW ATTRACTIONS!

Little aliens:

Right!

Swackhammer:

New ones!

Nawt:

Uh huh.

Swackhammer:

Get it?

Nawt:

Big shiny new things yeah.

Bang:

Absolutely sir!

Swackhammer:

(Pulls out) look at me. Look at me and listen. The… customer… is… always… right!

Nerdlucks:

Right!

Swackhammer:

The customer is always right.

Nerdlucks:

Swackhammer:

(Gets up from his chair) okay. We need something. We need something… nutty!

Nawt:

Nutty.

Swackhammer:

Something wacky… (Sits on tv remote).

Nawt:

Wacky.

Swackhammer:

We need something…

Bupkus:

Looney? Oops.

Nawt:

Looney! Thank you.

Swackhammer:

Looney?

(Swackhammer looks at the tv and sees a few clips of the looney tunes and has a big nasty smile on his face).

Swackhammer:

Yes! Looney, yes! Now you're talking. Looney. Looney that's it! That's the word I was looking for. Looney. Get the looney tunes.

Bupkus:

Looney tunes!

Swackhammer:

Bring them here!

Blanko:

Sir? Just noticing sir. There from earth. What if they cant come?

Swackhammer:

What did you say? What if they… cant… come? (Grabs blanko and smushes him in his hand). Make em.

Blanko:

Swackhammer:

MAKE EM!

(We zoom away from swackhammer and moron mountain).
