Summary: Emma helps Hudson impress Jessie at a party.

Jessie and the Rosses' are at the basketball court in Central Park.

Most of them are sitting on the benches, cheering one member of the family on as they score a point for their team.

And it's not Luke, because he's on the bench, cheering alongside them.

Turns out, it's Ravi who is out on the court. He went from being afraid of the basketball to being the king of basketball within just a few months.

Everyone on the benches stands up, cheering the loudest they have the whole night. Soon, they are running out on the court themselves and surrounding Ravi.

"You won the game, Ravi!" Zuri says excitedly.

"Yes, I'm so proud of you!" Jessie hugs the small, yet incredibly talented basketball player.

"I couldn't have done it without you, Jessie." He says, as he removes himself from the hug.

The red-head smiles at him. "That's sweet of you, Ravi, but you were the one that did the work."

"Yes, but if it wasn't for you telling me to get out of my comfort zone, I wouldn't have started doing the work necessary to realize my passion for the game!" Ravi explains.

Jessie wraps her arm around him. "Well, it's like I've always said - anytime you say you can't do something, you just trap yourself in a box."

Luke approaches Ravi. "Indeed, brother, words have the power to be manifested into reality."

Ravi blinks, before laughing. "It looks like you are still enjoying that philosophy course."

Luke smiles brightly, before becoming more serious. "Yes, I realize that I enjoy thinking deeper about things."

Ravi has a twinkle in his eyes. "Does that mean you're going to become a science enthusiast too?"

Luke laughs. "No, absolutely not."

"Hey," Jessie chimes in, "Who knows? You might end up being a scientist, just like how Ravi is going to be the first Indian-American NBA player."

Ravi shakes his fists with excitement. "Indeed!"

"Ooh!" Emma says, "When you make it in the NBA, can I design your uniform?"

"Of course."

"Yay!" She exclaims before grabbing her brother in a hug.

Back at the penthouse, Emma is working on some homework with her best friend Rosie.

"Hey Emma, Hey Rosie." Jessie gets the blonde's attention as the young adult sits next to her on the living room couch.

"Hey, Jessie. What's going on?" She asks.

Jessie smiles with a hint of excitement. "Well, it's getting close to that time where you should start thinking about what you want to do after high school. Have you thought about it? Do you perhaps want to be a fashion designer?"

Emma turns to Rosie and smiles, before turning back to Jessie.

"Actually, I've been thinking. You know Liv Rooney?"

"Yeah, of course. Her Froyo song is actually my guilty pleasure."

"Well, her sister, Madison, is taking a gap year from playing basketball to build houses for the homeless in New Orleans. Me and Rosie are going to do the same thing, then I'm going to go to college for political science, so I can get into politics and change some of the institutions that have been holding minority and poor communities back from succeeding." Emma says her plans with the utmost confidence.
