This story follows Carmen, a basketball player, who wants to join a TikTok group made by Tanya and her friends, but is rejected. Tanya, who initially underestimates Carmen’s ability to contribute to their TikTok, is focused on keeping her dance routine secret, fearing someone might steal their idea and go viral instead. However, Carmen’s dad encourages her to create her own TikTok with her basketball team, proving that she can do anything she puts her mind to, much like how he balanced basketball and musical theater in his college days.

With her dad’s help, Carmen and her teammates work on their own TikTok dance, showcasing both teamwork and fun. To their surprise, their basketball-themed TikTok quickly becomes popular, surpassing Tanya’s in views.

Realizing the mistake of excluding Carmen, Tanya comes to apologize and expresses her desire to join Carmen's basketball team. Carmen graciously forgives her, highlighting that there’s no “I” in team, and they welcome Tanya into the fold.

The message here emphasizes the importance of inclusion and how excluding others can backfire, as well as the value of teamwork and mutual respect. It teaches that being open to collaboration often leads to greater success and fulfillment than going it alone.
