(The camera pans down from the logo to New Honk City on a sunny day. There are people walking by and cars driving on the city road. On the sidewalk is a pigeon. A caterpillar, who has woken up from his beauty sleep, appears and crawls next to her. Then, the pigeon and the caterpillar look at the camera.)

Pigeon: (looking at the camera) Oh! Didn't see you here. Hello, everyone! I'm Skye.

Caterpillar: (looking at the camera) And I'm Leaf. Welcome to the movie!

Skye: (looking at the camera) And we’re going to tell you a story.

Leaf: Uh, what kind of story, Skye?

Skye: Well, Leaf, it's the story... (looks at the camera) of a high school student who has the wild ride of a lifetime. Her name is Tara. (turns to Leaf) Hop on. (looks at the camera) Follow me. I'll show you.

(The camera follows Skye flying through the sky as Leaf rides on her. We see the bird flying to a large house in a neighborhood in New Honk City. The bird lands on a fence and she and Leaf look through one of its windows.)

Leaf: Wait a minute. I don't see Tara here.

Skye: That's because she isn't born yet, Leaf, but she is about to be. (looks at the camera) In the meantime, let me tell you some information about her parents and how they met. (cuts to a flashback about when Tara’s parents met, showing that they were childhood best friends since birth, then they become lovers, then get married and then they move in the large house) [narrating] A long, long time ago, Tara’s parents, Buck and Jane, both met when they were both born. They became best friends. And soon after that, they became lovers. And after they became lovers, they got married. After they got married, they moved into the neighborhood in New Honk City. (flashback ends) And now, those two lovebirds now got themselves a baby girl.

(The camera then shows that Jane has given birth to a baby girl.)

Buck: She's so beautiful. What are we going to name Her?

Jane: We'll call her Tara.

Buck: Tara. I like that.

(The couple embrace their newborn daughter as Skye and Leaf watch.)

Skye: And Tara is her name.

Leaf: Tara, huh? Is that what this story is about?

Skye: Of course, Leaf. (looks at the camera) This is the story of Tara and her journey through one crazy gameshow.
