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

Ch 2: one's own true path/strange day star/bugs meets the nerdlucks

(As we move from space we move to the local school our heroes attend and inside the principal's office we see Rachel speaking with the principal).

Principal sheldon:

Well miss rachel. Your grades are climbing up very well this year. Excellent work.

Rachel:

Thank you principal sheldon. But why did you call me here to your office sir?

Principal sheldon:

Well I noticed on your records that you didn't write down a favorite sport.

Rachel:

Well… there actually is a sport that I did want to put on there. Basketball actually.

Principal sheldon:

Oh excellent. I'll just put it on your records.

Rachel:

Umm actually i…

Principal sheldon:

Yes?

Rachel:

I… well… (Sighs) nevermind.

Principal sheldon:

Very well. If that is all then you may leave.

Rachel:

(Gets up from chair). Thank you for your time sir. (Gets ready to leave the office).

Principal sheldon:

Oh miss Rachel one more thing.

(Rachel stops and looks back at the principal).

Principal sheldon:

If you're having trouble really wanting basketball as a sport I suggest you really think about it. On the other hand… I might consider giving word of this to the wnba.

Rachel:

You mean the woman's basketball association?

Principal sheldon:

Of course. They are always looking for new players. Just give it some thought though, miss Rachel and get back to me whenever you can.

Rachel:

Of course sir. Thank you! (Leaves the office).

(Meanwhile outside we see Alex and rj and their friends playing some kickball. The score is tied and rj is out in the outfield and alex is up to pitch the ball).

Kid:

Come on man, throw the ball already!

Tom:

Don't let him sike you out man you got this.

Alex:

I got it tom. Okay. here we go.

(Alex winds his arm up and pitches the ball to the kid who kicks it super hard to the fence).

Rj:

I got it! I got it!

(As rj runs for the fence to catch the ball he flips over the top of the fence and completely misses the ball as the other team laughs at him).

Alex:

Ah man (runs up to help his brother). You okay rj?

Rj:

Yeah, I'm okay.

(3 other kids walk up to alex rj. They are their friends cherri, tom, and simon).

Simon:

I don't know rj that was some fall you had.

Cherri:

I once had a brother who had a bad fall like you did rj and 2 weeks later… he had brain damage.

Tom:

That is not what he told me before.

Rj:

Guys I am fine.

Kid:

Oh sure your fine rj. You're just not a good catch.

(2 other kids laugh behind him).

Alex:

Why don't you just lay off of him matt?

Matt:

Or what? You're gonna tell on me to your mommy. Looks like we found one thing you and your brother are bad at than basketball..

Tom:

You still can't let go about your lucky win against us last week.

Matt:

Well all i know is that our team is gonna win the tourney this year and you can't stop us. So good luck in the finals this friday. Later losers.

(The 3 of them leave laughing).

Simon:

Man, I hate those guys.

Tom:

Man, I can't wait to pound the living snot out of them this friday.

Alex:

Yeah but if we are gonna beat them we need a lot more practice.

Rj:

Oh, speak for yourself. We are already good, we can take them.

Simon:

Hope you're right about that.

Cherri:

Well we better get going and head home. See you guys later.

Alex:

Yeah see you guys later.

(Tom, cherri, and simon leave the kickball field and the school).

Alex:

You sure you are okay rj?

Rj:

Bro I said I'm okay. Come on, I'm not a little kid anymore.

Alex:

Eh sometimes I wonder about that.

Rj:

Hey!

Alex:

I'm kidding. Come on, let's go pick Rachel up and head home.

(Alex and rj leave the kickball field as well).

(As they head to the front of the school they both spot Rachel and wave to her and she does the same).

(A few minutes later we see them walking down the street).

Rachel:

So you were playing Matt and his goons huh?

Alex:

Yep.

Rachel:

How did it go?

Rj:

Well I think the dirt and scuff marks on my face explains it all.

Rachel:

Oh I'm sorry bro.

Rj:

Nah don't be.

Alex:

Yeah besides. They will get it good once we beat them in the finals.

Rachel:

Yeah well… good luck to you guys.

Rj:

You know we could use you on the team.

Rachel:

Heh very funny.

Alex:

No we mean it sis. You're really good.

Rachel:

Yeah well…

Alex:

You still haven't tried to talk to dad about it?

(Rachel shakes her head no).

Alex:

(Sighs) well… What about today?

Rachel:

You know what he will say if I do.

Alex:

That still doesn't mean you can't try.

Rj:

Yeah you know the old saying. You only live once.

Alex:

Literally no one has ever said that.

Rj:

Oh trust me. It will catch on soon.

Alex:

Anyways come on rache, you got to at least try.

Rachel:

(Sighs) okay fine. I'll try. And don't call me rache.

Alex:

You know i can't promise that. Come on lets get home.

(As they continue down the road they hear a nearby tv go off and they go to check it out).

(On the tv there is a broadcast of the famous basketball player playing baseball).

Rachel:

Hey, isn't that Michael jordan?

Rj:

Hey yeah it is. What is he doing playing baseball?

Alex:

I think there was a news report last night about him quitting basketball.

Rj:

What no way.

Rachel:

Why would he do that?

Alex:

I think he said something about trying another sport.

Rj:

Well clearly he is not doing too well.

Rachel:

Guess he needs some practice.

(A few seconds go by as the 3 head down another road and chat for a bit until they some a strange looking object zoom past them up in the sky).

Rachel:

What was that?

Rj:

That looked like a ufo.

Rachel:

Oh come on rj that is ridiculous. There are no such things as ufos.

Rj:

Ufos do exist. I have been keeping up with them in weird sci fi monthly.

Alex:

And that is one of the reasons you don't train as much rj. You read too much scifi stuff.

(Meanwhile. We see the same ufo rj saw go straight into the ground and fly though an underground tunnel).

(and inside the ship we see the nerdlucks pound, blanko, nawt, bang, and bupkus controlling their ship).

Pound:

Hang on!

Bang:

Hanging on!

Nawt:

Hanging on!

Blanko:

Are we there yet?

(Just then. The nerdlucks spot something ahead of them and scream).

(We see a large warner brothers studios logo in front of them).

Pound:

Bombastic.

Nawt:

Cool.

(The ship then goes through the logo as it stretches out like it was made of rubber).

(The ship comes out to the other side of the logo and enters a very colorful world and right below the sky is a very cartoony forest).

(We then suddenly hear a lot of gunshots as we see a grey and white rabbit wearing white gloves running from said shots. This rabbit is bugs bunny).

?:

Alright you rascal bunny! Come back here you screwy rodent!

Bugs bunny:

(Stops and looks out at the audience). I'll uh be with you in a second folks after I'm finished with nature boy here.

(The strange man catches up with bugs and points his shotgun at his head. The man is revealed to be his arch rival Elmer fudd).

Elmer fudd:

Alright you pesky rabbit i've got you now. (Points his gun up at bugs).

(Just then the nerdlucks ship lands right on top of elmer and bugs looks in confusion as the nerdlucks exit their ship).

Pound:

One small step for moi! O…

Bang:

(Jumps in front of pound with a flag in his hand). One giant leap for moron mountain!

(Bang slams the flag onto Pound's foot making him scream in pain).

Bugs bunny:

And one wubby headache for elmer fudd.

(The nerdlucks make their way to bugs and stare up at him and he stares down at them).

Bugs bunny:

(Looks at the audience). Diminutive, ain't they?

Bang:

We seek the one they call bugs bunny.

Nawt:

Yeah bugs bunny.

Bang:

Have you seen him?

Pound:

Where is this guy?

Blanko:

Is he around?

(Bugs looks at the audience with a sly smile).

Bugs bunny:

Hmmmmm. Bugs bunny. Bugs bunny. Say… does he have uh great big long ears… (Pulls his ears) like this?

Nerdlucks:

Yeah.

Bugs bunny:

And does he hop around, like this? (Hops all around the forest).

Nerdlucks:

Yeah?

Bugs bunny:

Well uh does he say "what's up doc" like this? (Zooms over to pound, places his hand on his head, and eats a carrot). Eh… what's up doc?

Nerdlucks:

Yeah!

Bugs bunny:

Nope. never hear of him (leaves the nerdlucks).

Bugs bunny:

(Looks towards audience). You know… maybe there is no intelligent life out there in the universe after all.

(Bugs leaves the forest humming a little tune until he is blasted by a laser blast).

Bang:

Hold on there mr. looney tune.

Bupkus:

Hey what do you think we are stupid?

Nawt:

Don't move a muscle.

Pound:

Okay bunny, gather up your tune pals. We're taking ya for a ride! (laughs).

Blanko:

(Chuckles) yeah alright a ride. So like where are we going?

(Pound slaps blanko with the back of his hand).

Blanko:

Are we there yet? Ow.
