The sequel opens at a racetrack immediately following the events of Death Race for Love. Jarad Higgins, the hero of our original story, is cheering with Dark Wrld, Jason Firestone, Ally, and Starfire, our new character. It’s been 16 years since the events of the first script.
Jarad: {Narrating.} Well, 16 whole years. I can’t believe it! Our last adventure was crazy and dark at times, but it was completely worth it. Why you may ask? 1. I now have an amazing 16-year-old daughter, and 2. I have a successful racing career. Why are all these guys cheering you may wonder? Well, they finally made an Olympic Racing Event, which I will be in this summer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems like another one of those kinds of races.
{It cuts to a local diner, where Jason, Dark Wrld, and Jarad are eating pancakes, celebrating Jarad’s accomplishment.}
Jarad: Wow. This is delicious! Have you ever had a meal where you worked so hard that it just tastes better? That’s the type of meal I’m having right now.
Firestone: I know. Congrats, Jarad! You are gonna be awesome in those Olympics.
Jarad: It’s not just me competing. Dark Wrld is competing, too.
Dark Wrld: Yeah! I hear that this year’s Olympics will be in Italy, and my son, Yacht Wrld, has been begging me to take him on a European Vacation for ages.
Jarad: Oh. Starfire would never be up for that.
Dark Wrld: Oh no, Jarad. Something is wrong when a kid won’t spend time with their family, especially girls. For all you know, she could be running around with gangs, dancing for money, robbing banks, CAUSING RIOTS!!!!!
{He flips over a nearby table and gets pasta salad all over two old ladies. One of the old ladies smacks him with her purse and leaves.}
Sorry. I’ll pay for everything.
Jarad: Oh. Starfire is a good kid. I highly doubt she’d get into anything like that.
{It then cuts to a Little League meeting, where Ally is the head coach. Conversations by Juice Wrld plays as Starfire enters into the meeting late.}
Starfire: Sorry, Mom. I had to use the bathroom, but a talking onion wanted me to rap with him.
Ally: {Disappointed.} Just sit down.
{Starfire sits down as Ally begins the meeting.}
OK. Before we begin, we have a birthday today. Coach Fox turned 99 today. Also, don’t forget that tonight is free hamburger night at the diner. Now, let’s get down to business. First topic: Pirated games. As if I needed to say it again…the purchase of pirated video games to compete in e-sports on this team is strictly prohibited.
{Starfire’s phone rings. Everyone turns to look at Starfire, who answers the phone.}
Capone: Hey Ally! Listen. I think the Call of Duty game you ordered is…
Starfire: {Visibly nervous.} Yeah. This is not a good time. I’ll call you later. {She immediately hangs up.} Wrong number!
Ally: {Visibly growing impatient with Starfire.} Second topic: We are now in the playoffs. So I need everyone to be on top. Let’s get it!
{Everyone is exiting out of the meeting, with Starfire being the fastest to leave, or at least trying.}
Starfire: I’m going. I’m going. Wider steps!
Ally: Starfire, how about you stick around for a bit?
Starfire: OK. {She walks up to Ally.} Mom! What’s up?!
Ally: {Clearly mad.} Sit! {Ally sits down as Titanic by Juice Wrld plays.} OK. First of all, I don’t even want to know who was on the other end of that phone. {But she actually does.} It was Capone the game dealer, wasn’t it. {She quickly stops herself.} Nope! Don’t want to know! Why do you do this to me? How do you think that makes me look?
Starfire: So this is about you?
Ally: Where were you during practice? You know it’s the playoffs!
Starfire: Oh! The playoffs! Ooh! Like that means something!
Ally: Those playoffs haven’t been won by this team since 1999. As long as I’m still standing, those playoffs will be won by us. You’re gonna have to grow up soon. You will never be happy if you goof off.
Starfire: {Leaving the room.} No? Watch me!
{Starfire leaves as Ally shakes her head. Will Starfire grow up? Stay tuned for the next scene. To be continued.}
