Fortnite. Battle Royale, are you ready?
Ready.
let’s get them.
follow me!
Let's stay in the bubble.
Yeah, I can see you. You're in front of me.
Watch out.
It looks like they have a whole team.
Here they come.
And I don't have any shields.
Time to build.
I got the walls.
Wait, here they come.
Oh, I got this.
All right.
Here comes the boogie.
Sydney, I hear you talking up there.
What are you doing?
I'm just finishing.
Well, it's late.
Hurry up and finish and go to bed.
Does she know what you're finishing?
No, but I better get to bed.
All right. See you at school.
Sydney!
hurry up, you'll be late to class.
Sorry mom. I slept in again.
I'll be right down.
I finally got a new graphics card.
Wow, those have been really hard to get.
Hey, aren't you guys on the gaming team?
yeah!
i'm the captain. who wants to know?
Well, I see you're doing tryouts.
That's right.
Do you know any guys who want to try out?
Yeah, me!
when we say gaming team...
We're not talking Jenga or monopoly.
This is E-Sports.
Yeah, I know E-Sports. competitive video gaming
where you can win prizes and lots of cash.
You should come out and watch
one of our tournaments sometime.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
I don't want to watch.
I'm here to play.
That's ridiculous.
Girls can't do video games.
well, the flier says Open to everyone.
I don't care what the flier says.
i’m team captain. It's pointless.
Sorry.
Sydney wants to try out for the gaming team.
but David doesn't think girls belong.
OK, Sydney.
even though you slept in last time,
I've decided to give you a special makeup test.
I wouldn't normally do this,
but because you have such an excellent track record,
I wanted to give you a second chance.
Alright Sydney, that's it.
I don't want to have to do this again.
No one beats me a battle royale.
So prepare to get a schooling.
Well, I hate to tell you, buddy.
but school's out right now. and soon...
So are you.
Oh, take that.
How are you doing now?
It's alright.
I got plenty of heals.
I'm taking on damage.
I got to get back to the safe zone.
Oh, it's over now.
I just felt like ten mini shields.
Can you imagine playing that girl?
Sydney?
Well, girls
might be able to play too if they apply themselves.
Well, it's a good thing. I don't have to play her.
That would be such a waste of time.
Well, don't
you think somebody should give her a shot?
Here you go.
I'm about to get you
too late, popping a shield.
Do you want me to tell her
to just give up trying to be on the team?
No. Why don't you play he?
let her Find out on her own.
You know what?
I'm just going to let her down easy.
Brandon thinks Sydney deserves a shot at the team.
so he's going to test her gaming abilities.
Sydney, you left your books on
the kitchen counter again.
They have a gaming team
at her high school?
What is this?
Yeah, mom...
you got to “b” on your English test?
Yeah, but my average is still in a
you are not a B student young lady.
This should not have happened.
Mom...
i was only two questions away from an “a”.
Even the Lakers lose a game every now and then.
Well, you're not the Lakers and this isn't a game.
Well, what do you want me to do?
Well, you're grounded until I see all A's.
grounded?!
I get better grades than all of my friends!
and they're not grounded.
So if all of your friends
jump off a bridge, will you too?
Mom, can you get new phrases?
You've been saying
that to me since I was a little kid.
and I'm not even sure if it applies.
fine.
well, you march up to your room
and I don't want to see you again
until you're ready for school tomorrow.
What about dinner?
I'll leave it at your door.
Whatever you say.
Oh, hey Sydney.
Oh, there you are Chloe.
So how is the makeup test?
Oh, it was fine.
There were a couple I wasn't sure about.
but I'm so mad.
Well, you can't blame the teacher.
Maybe you didn't study enough?
I'm not mad about that.
It's about the school gaming team.
David and those guys can be real jerks.
Tell me about it.
They're doing tryouts,
but they won't let me on the team.
Why not?
You're better than half those guys.
No, they don't care about that.
They're not letting me on because get this.
I'm a girl.
No, that's wrong.
The tryouts
clearly say they're open to all students.
Yeah, it says all students, but they really mean
all boys.
You know, that's not the reason.
They're probably too chicken to play you.
Oh, afraid of being shown up by a girl?
That's why you've got to get
at least one of them to play you.
Yeah, that's perfect. because once I beat
one of them, they'll all have to play me
and then you can prove
that girls are just as good as boys.
It's not going to work.
I got full shields.
Take this !
what?!
I got lasered?!
back to the mansion.
ahhh!
She's low on health.
Time to go full send.
Oh no. Here he comes.
He won't be expecting this.
What?
360 No scope?
And she got me.
So, you still think girls can't play?
I didn't say that.
That was David.
What do you mean she beat you?
I was eliminated.
She took me out.
So you're saying a girl beat you at Fortnite?
What did you lose your glasses or something?
dude, I thought I had her.
But then she launched and did a
360 no scope on me.
That's impossible.
It must have been her brother.
You were playing against or something.
Well, I don't know, because...
oh! here she is.
Why don't you ask her yourself?
There you guys are.
Are you ready to let me on the team now?
What?
Well, that depends.
Depends on what?
it depends on who I was playing.
Yeah. Where's your brother?
I don't have a brother, but I have a baby sister.
Do you guys want to lose against her too?
No thanks.
You only beat one member of our team.
Maybe you got lucky.
Well, I already beat Brandon here.
Would you like to be next?
(laughs)
uh Oh, she's got your number, David.
No, no, no, no.
I'll arrange a duel with Connor.
With Connor?! What do I have to beat
Everyone on the team? That's not fair.
That's the thing with girls.
They just think everything's not fair.
Just name the time and place.
(scoffs)
even though Sydney beat Brandon Fair and Square.
It's still not enough for David.
David says, I need to beat everyone on the team.
They don't make boys Do that.
All I know is I have to play Connor next.
Wasn't he the team champion last year?
Maybe.
But I refuse to be intimidated.
I wish you could just
play David and get it over with.
Yeah, he's probably just covering up
for his own insecurity.
He got me! I need some heals.
Sydney, are you up there?
Yea mom! I'm busy.
Well, you better be doing your homework.
Yeah, whatever you say!
whatever I say?
Hmm. We'll see about that.
Here's my chance.
I can get him with a one shot.
yes!!!
Ha ha ha.
Who's next?
What are you doing?
Homework?
You can't fool me.
You're on that PlayStation again.
You don't understand.
I'm trying to get on the gaming team at school.
Good grades
a little more important than, than, a gaming team.
I have good grades! but if I do this,
I can make a lot of money from streaming.
I'm not going to have
some daughter of my give up on school
just to play video games at home.
uhgg! stop bossing me around.
Well, as long as you're in my house, I am in charge.
What does that mean?
I'm taking the PlayStation away.
the PlayStation?!
What about the gaming team?
What about E-Sports?
You can do that after you graduate.
Come on.
This is for the Team Vortex Facebook page.
Really?
How is anyone going to take the team
seriously when you're
putting pictures like that on the team Facebook page?
Well, you're not on the team yet
and you never will be.
I heard mommy took away your PS5.
Well, that's just temporary.
I'm going to get it back.
Oh, what's mommy going to do?
Replace it with a sewing machine?
Here, take a shot of her.
Now everyone can see what a team reject looks like.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, that's really good!
you know what?
You'll learn your lesson one day.
Hey, at least
you don’t have to play her.
(laughs)
david uses these pictures to make fun of Sydney on social media.
What will everyone think?
So, what is Newton's second law?
That's easy.
Net force equals mass times acceleration.
You got it.
Speaking of mass, I don't think David has any
up there.
uh Oh, what did he do now?
first, i beat brandon.
then i beat connor!
and they still won't let me on the team.
That's lame.
Who do you have to beat now?
Hopefully nobody. because mom took away my ps5.
What?! no ps5 means you can't
do the gaming team.
No, because they still have
the computer lab at school.
Hey, mom.
There you are.
What is this?
your new iPhone 13?
I'm not talking about the phone.
I'm talking about this Facebook post.
That's David. captain of the gaming club at school.
He won't let girls on the team.
Is it because I took your PS5 away?
It doesn't help that I haven't
been able to practice.
I'm giving you your PlayStation back.
Really? Thanks, mom.
Now that you have it,
you can show up that David boy.
Oh, I don't need it for that.
I have a head to head tomorrow against him
in the gaming lab at school.
Well, you show him that girls
can be better than boys.
David looks like it's your turn.
What are you doing here?
Fortnite!
You think you can handle it?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Finally, we can take care of this for good.
Yeah, you can finally play me
and not my imaginary brother.
okay.
Prepare to play Fortnite.
Oh, and sorry, there's no beginners mode here.
That's all right.
I'll try to go easy on you.
Oh, don't get lost on the battle bus.
Oh, don't worry, I'll punch your ticket for you.
Take that.
There you go.
Oh, why are you running?
Because I'm setting a trap.
Wait a minute.
Where did that come from?
Prepare to be defeated.
It's not happening.
I got my shields up.
OK. Hope you got some heals because you're
going to need it.
Oh, that was lucky.
Ha! Luck's got nothing to do with it.
It's called instincts and or reflexes.
(frustrated noises)
Boom. one shot.
full send!
any last words?
Looks like you're out of heals.
and shields.
one shot!
Oh, you got me.
winner! winner! chicken dinner.
it's over?
you lost?!
You know what?
I quit!
you’re team captain now.
What?
I think I have a better idea.
Better idea? wait, wait...
you want Logan or someone else instead?
I want a true gamer.
it only makes sense
that our new team captain is...
Sidney!
you want a girl?!
Sidney, will you be captain of Team Vortex?
yes!!!
Remember,
everyone deserves a fair shot.
No matter who they are.
