Chapter 1:

It is nighttime as a young 8 year old girl continues shooting the basketball at the hoops, a light flicks on inside her home and her dad walks to the door. The girl does not see him. Her dad sees her shooting the ball in the basket. He opens the door and goes outside.

Mr. Evans: Jade?

Jade turns around and sees her dad walking to her.

Mr. Evans: What are you doing out here? It's after midnight.

Jade: I couldn't sleep, Dad.

Mr. Evans: Well, neither can we, with all that noise you're making. Come on, let's go inside.

Jade: May I have just one more shot?

Mr. Evans: All right. Just one.

Jade: Thanks Dad. (Shoots it and makes one point)

Mr. Evans: (Chuckles) That's good. Shoot again.

Jade keeps shooting again and makes more points.

Mr. Evans: Very nice. Go ahead, shoot until you miss.

Jade: Do you think if I get good enough, I can be an athlete dad? (Shoots it again and makes another point)

Mr. Evans: Hey, you're pretty good. Keep shooting if you want. (Passes her the ball)

Jade keeps shooting and making points. She is making good throws, makes one more shot and makes another point.

Mr. Evans: All right, let's slow down. Don't you think you ought to get a little sleep first?

Jade: And once I've done all that, I would like a different activity like band.

Mr. Evans: Band. That's a good activity. After you sing very beautiful like your mother.

Just before they could go inside the house, Jade stops, then turns around and faces the basketball hoop. She grabs the ball, then dribbles it, and goes for a slam dunk.

THE SPACE JAM!
