You're Sonny Soto!!

What are you doing here??

SONNY: I couldn't come to the Bronx...

and not see my favorite music teacher.

Did you know your mom taught me to play guitar...

when I was a kid?

ALMA: Really?! My Mami?!

No way!

MAMI: [chuckles] This is Alma.

She's a big fan of yours.

So is her brother, Junior...

for your big concert tonight?

SONNY: Sí, you'll be there, right?

MAMI: Ay lo siento, Sonny.

I wanted to go to your show,

but the tickets are sold out.

SONNY: Oh no!

You gotta be there, Ms. Lulú!

Here...

MAMI: Aww, Sonny, for real?!

ALMA: [gasp] Does that mean we get to go too?

MAMI: Oh!

Um... would that be possible, Sonny?

Do you have more tickets?

SONNY: Yeah!

I want all my Bronx people to be at my show tonight.

ALMA: Really!? FAMLIY: [cheering]

ALMA: This is ah-may-zing!

Mami, can I go tell my friends, pleeeaaase?

MAMI: Sure, Almita.

ALMA: Lucas! Rafia! André!

ANDRÉ: Was that just Sonny Soto at your house,

or was I dreaming?

ALMA: You weren't dreaming!

He invited us to his show!

KIDS: No. Way. Seriously?

LUCAS: Sonny's my musical hero.

I would do anything to go to that concert.

RAFIA: Me too!

KIDS: [singing] ♪ Another day away from home. ♪

ALMA: Am I good or what?

EDDIE: Hey, Alma. Who was that earlier?

He kinda looked like...

ALMA: Sonny Soto?!

Yeah.

He's friends with my mami, so now he's my friend too.

EDDIE: Whoa! I love his music!

ALMA: He invited everyone to his concert at the park tonight.

Wanna come?

EDDIE: Yeah!

EDDIE: Eh! Gracias, prima! See ya later!

ALMA: Getting invited to Sonny's concert was sweet,

but going with Eddie and all my friends...

But I'm sorry, my beautiful singers,

we need to leave for the Sonny Soto concert.

RAFIA: We know! We're coming too!

ANDRÉ: Yeah, Alma invited us.

MAMI: Uh... She did?!!

PAPI: All of you?

ALL: Uh-huh! Sure did! All of us!

ABUELO: Hi kids! Come, come inside, niños.

MAMI: Alma, did you really invite all your friends...

to the concert?

ALMA: Sí, Mami!

Sonny said he wanted all of his Bronx people there,

remember?

PAPI: Almita, I think he meant just Mami and our family.

MAMI: Ay, I'd better call Sonny.

PAPI: Soo muchachitos, nice to have you here.

ALMA: My tummy feels kinda funny.

Like I made a big mistake.

But did I?

Hmmm... I gotta think about this.

MAMI: I wanted to go to your show,

but the tickets are sold out.

ALMA: Ohhh, maybe I did make a mistake.

I didn't think about it when Mami said...

the tickets were "sold out."

SONNY: I want all my Bronx people to be at my show tonight.

ALMA: But we're all from the Bronx,

and I thought Sonny wanted all of us to be there...

But if the tickets are sold out then not everyone can go.

ALMA: [gasp] Does that mean we get to go too?

MAMI: Uhm... would that be possible, Sonny?

Do you have more tickets?

ALMA: Hmmm... Mami did ask Sonny for our tickets...

and I should have asked too.

I know what to do.

ALMA: I'd better find Mami.

MAMI: Oh... [sighs] Okay, thank you Sonny.

ALMA: Mami?

MAMI: Lo siento, Almita.

I called Sonny and there aren't any more tickets.

ALMA: I'm sorry, Mami.

I should've asked you before I invited all of my friends...

to Sonny's concert.

MAMI: Ay Almita. I know you just wanted to include them.

But, you're right, the tickets weren't ours to give.

ALMA: [sigh] I'll let them know...

MAMI: Everyone makes mistakes, Almita.

They'll understand.

Good friends always do.

ALMA: Hey everyone!

EDDIE: Uh oh.

ANDRÉ: What? Is it raining?

No problem, I can run home and grab my poncho.

ALMA: It's not raining, but...

we can't all go to the concert.

RAFIA: But, you said we were invited?

ALMA: I did, but...

I made a mistake.

I didn't ask if it was okay first,

and there aren't any more tickets.

ALMA: I'm sorry.

I really wanted you to come.

EDDIE: That's okay, prima.

You can tell us about it tomorrow...

RAFIA: We'll see his concert some another time.

KIDS: [sad singing] ♪ En buena compañía... ♪

No. Way.

MAMI: Sonny!

SONNY: Mrs. Lulu!

MAMI: I'm so sorry, Sonny.

SONNY: So am I.

I was really looking forward to playing for all my old friends.

And my new ones.

SONNY: But don't worry.

I'll be back before you know it.

And next time, we'll play indoors.

ALMA: Indoors?

That gives me an idea!

ALMA: Excuse me, Mami?

Could Sonny play his music here?

MAMI: Hmmm.. you could ask him...

ALMA: How about having a concert right here, Sonny?

...In our house?!

SONNY: Yeah, why not?!

Just like back in the day when I learned guitar.

ALMA: And, um, can I please invite some of my friends?

ABUELO: Eeeeeep!!!!

ALMA: Wha... Huh? I'm up! I'm up!

JUNIOR: Ahhhh! ABUELO: Ahhhh!

ABUELO: Cuidado! Alma, look out!

ALMA: Oh, it's a silverfish.

ABUELO: Careful! It might sting!

ALMA: Nah, they don't sting.

ABUELO: Really?

ALMA: Yep, we read all about them in my bug book.

Gotcha little guy.

They won't hurt you at all.

ALMA: Right, Papi?

PAPI: Claro, Almita!

They won't bug you!

[laughs]

Get it? Bug you... [laughs]

ALMA: [laughs]

JUNIOR: It's so creepy! And kinda awesome!

But mostly creepy.

ALMA: Aww! It's not creepy!

Wanna see Abuelo?

ABUELO: No no, gracias, I'm okay over here.

[sigh]

PAPI: Alma to the rescue!

ALMA: So long, silverfish! Stay silvery!

PAPI: You know, Almita, there's a pet coming to the clinic today

that I think you'd like to meet.

Wanna come?

ALMA: Yes yes yes yes yes!

Oooh, I wonder what kinda pet...

Papi could be talking about?

LUCAS: I'm heading inside dad.

[door bell]

ALMA: What's up, Lucas?

LUCAS: Hey, Alma!

ALMA: Hey, Hopper!

PAPI: Hey Lucas.

LUCA: Hi Dr. Rivera.

ALMA: Papi, is this the animal you wanted me to meet?

'Cause I already know Hopper!

We go waaaay back!

PAPI: Nope.

Hola, Hopper!

How're you doing today?

LUCAS: Hopper hasn't been eating his crickets.

Do you think he's okay?

PAPI: Let me take a look.

PAPI: Hmm.

Smooth skin.

Bright eyes.

Maybe he'd like to try something new,

like a nice juicy earthworm.

PAPI: Let's give Hopper an hour or so to see if he eats, okay?

LUCAS: Okay.

Thanks, Doctor Rivera.

See ya' later!

ALMA: Bye, Lucas! PAPI: Bye, Lucas!

PAPI: Hey, Alma, did you know little Hopper...

can jump from heeeere...

all the way to here?

ALMA: Whoa!

I didn't know that.

PAPI: did you know when I was little,

I was afraid of frogs.

ALMA: No way!

My Papi loves frogs!

PAPI: That's your Tío Mateo.

That's a teeny tiny coquí.

And that's me.

ALMA: You look scared.

PAPI: I was!

I thought frogs were yucky and slimy.

Ugh, and those toes?

Cree-py!

PAPI: But then my Mateo taught me all about coquís.

He showed me how they use their toes to climb.

How they sing...

ALMA: 'Coquí, coquí!'

PAPI: Yup!

And the more I learned about coquís,

the more I liked them.

ALMA: Is that why you became a vet?

Cause you like learning about animals?

PAPI: Yep, and it all started with one little frog.

ALMA: Wow!

PAPI: Be right back.

I'm gonna give Hopper some tasty worms.

ALMA: Ribbit! Ribbit! That's frog for "Worms, Yum!"

FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Hey-yo, Alma!

What's up?

ALMA: Hi, Frankie!

Um, I think you forgot to bring a pet.

FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Nope.

She's right here.

ALMA: Ah!

What... is... that?!

PAPI: Hey, Frankie!

FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Yo it's my man, Ruben!

PAPI: Hola, DJ Jelly!

Alma this is the animal I wanted you to meet!

How's my favorite bearded dragon, hmm?

ALMA: Did you say dragon?

Does it... breathe fire?

FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Nah.

Fire-breathing dragons aren't real, right, doc?

PAPI: Right.

Bearded dragons are lizards.

Who's ready for a check-up?

ALMA: I don't get Papi.

I think DJ Jelly is kinda creepy.

PAPI: C'mon, DJ Jelly.

No te preocupes, Frankie.

We'll take great care of her.

FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Thanks, doc!

Be a good lizard, DJ!

Catch ya on the flippy flip [laughter]

PAPI: Do you want to hold her?

ALMA: No, gracias!

I mean, uh, you better give her a check-up first.

I'll wait... over there.

Ouch!

PAPI: Okay, Alma.

ALMA: Ugh! DJ Jelly is so scaly!

And were those spikes?

PAPI: Alma, could you come help me for a sec, por favor?

ALMA: [gulp]

PAPI: How 'bout you give DJ a treat?

She can have a few blueberries.

[phone rings]

PAPI: Ohp, be right back.

ALMA: Okay Alma, you don't have to touch her.

Just toss in some blueberries.

ALMA: Ah!

You stay over there and I'll stay over here.

Está bien?

ALMA: Welp, that didn't work.

Okay, I'm coming over to give you some blueberries.

Stay there.

ALMA: Here it goes...

Just drop the berries and run...

ALMA: Ah!

ALMA: [groans] Oh! Yikes!

Lizard on the loose!

ALMA: Papi! Papi!

PAPI: Qué pasó, Almita?

ALMA: DJ Jelly got out of her cage and ran away!

PAPI: Oh boy!

No te preocupes, Alma.

We can be Rubén and Alma to the rescue!

Okay?

Let's find her.

ALMA: DJ Jelly could be anywhere!

PAPI: Jelly, are you over here?

ALMA: [gasp]

PAPI: Uh, what're you doing, Almita?

ALMA: Um, juuuust uh...

looking for DJ Jelly on the ceiling.

PAPI: Bueno, Bearded dragons are good climbers.

Not sure if they're that good, but that's the spirit!

I'll go check in the back.

ALMA: What if DJ Jelly touches me with her spikey things?

Yuuuk!

I wanna help Papi but I don't wanna touch that thing!

Come on, Alma.

You can do this!

[gasp] Or not!

Aaaaahhhhh!!!!

[sigh]

ALMA: [gasp]

Wait! Papi said bearded dragons are good climbers.

What if she climbs up my leg?

Can she even do that?

[gasp] I can't do this.

I am soooo outta of here!

ALMA: I want to help Papi, but how?

I don't want to go anywhere near DJ Jelly.

Bearded dragons creep me out.

[deep breath] I gotta think about this.

PAPI: I thought frogs were yucky and slimy.

ALMA: Hmmm... Papi used to feel the same way...

about frogs that I feel about DJ Jelly.

PAPI: And the more I learned about coquís,

the more I liked them.

ALMA: Huh...

waitaminute...

ABUELO: Careful! It might sting.

ALMA: I wasn't creeped out by the silverfish...

'cause I knew it couldn't sting.

ALMA: I learned all about them in my bug book.

[gasp] That's it!

I know what to do.

It's time to get to know DJ Jelly.

[gulp]

ALMA: Uh, Papi?

PAPI: Sí, Alma?

ALMA: [gasp] Can DJ Jelly's spikey things poke me?

What do her scales feel like?

Can she hurt me?

Is she mean?

PAPI: Ay, Alma...

Bearded dragon's spikes aren't sharp,

they actually feel really rubbery.

They won't hurt you.

ALMA: So... why do they have them?

PAPI: They stick out their spikes sometimes...

to scare off other animals.

ALMA: They sure scared me off!

Have you ever seen her spikes stick out?

PAPI: Not even when I take her temperature.

ALMA: So... DJ Jelly's friendly?

PAPI: Claro que sí!

Sometimes bearded dragons even wave hello.

ALMA: Now, that I gotta see!

How can I be nervous about an animal with such good manners?

Okay, Papi.

Now that I know that, I'm ready to help.

PAPI: [chuckle] Gracias, Almita.

I'll look over here and you look over there.

ALMA: Hmm.

Papi says bearded dragons like to climb

Hmmm... Nope.

Nope... Nope.

[plant rustling]

ALMA: [gasp] Hmm...

ALMA: Ah-ha! I found her!

PAPI: Wepa! I'll get her.

ALMA: [gasp] Papi! She waved at you!

Okay, that was pretty cute.

ALMA: Hang on, Papi!

[♪♪♪]

ALMA: She still needs her treat.

PAP: A-ha.

ALMA: Can... I pet her too?

PAPI: Mhmm.

She likes you.

ALMA: Really?

How do ya know?

PAPI: Well, if she was scared she might breathe heavy...

or her beard and belly might turn black.

ALMA: [gasp] Whoa...

PAPI: You're so cute...

Don't ya think, Alma?

ALMA: Nope. PAPI: Hmm?

ALMA: But she's not creepy either.

PAPI: [chuckles]

ALMA: [gasp] PAPI: [chuckles]
