[Both gasp]

[Alarm ringing]

[Breathing heavily]

I get the bathroom
first today!

You had it first
yesterday!

Oh, well, that was
because you took
the bathroom first

on Wednesday last week,
when it was really my turn!

You told me I could!

You said, "Miguel,
my favorite
best brother

"in the whole
wide world,

take the bathroom
first tomorrow."

OK, hello.
I never said that.

Yes, you did!

[Gasp]

Noooooo!

Pacooooo!

Hey!

Hey.

[Paco gargling]

[Paco humming]

[Sighing]

[Flush]

Finally!

You've been in there
forever.

You can't rush beauty.

Hey! Eeeehhhh.

Oh! Maya!

MAN: Welcome to the show
that's all about birds.

All birds, all the time.

Big birds, small birds.
You love 'em, we got 'em.

Because birds of a feather,
they flock together.

So stay tuned for "Bird, Bird--"

It's mine!

It's mine!

Hey, I was watching that!

[Maya and Miguel arguing]

Hey!

MAN: Birds are
fabulous creatures.

They get along with everyone
and argue with no one.

They fly as a team.
They dance as a team.

They behave like a team.

Blah, blah, blah.
Birds, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.

Get along perfectly...

Don't cross
this line!

MAN: ...Birds of a feather,
they do flock together...

You two have to get along,
like birds do.

MAN: It is safe to say

that no one is more pleasant
than a bird.

MIGUEL: Boring.

PACO: Ahh! Mmm!

[Burp]

Delicioso.

So...the big day
is only a week away.

Your birthday!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah,
good thing you remembered.
Ha ha ha!

¡Me encantan los cumpleaños!

I always get so excited
about your birthday...

you two
are getting so big.

I remember your first cake
when you were
just little babies.

Oh, there were presents,

and everyone sang
"Happy Birthday!"

Awk!

¡Una fiesta
de cumpleaños!

Awk! Yippee!
A birthday party!

Huh?

Ohh.

Hey!

Ay!

Ha ha ha!

Have you two figured out
what you want for
your birthday party?

I want a carnival
with rides and costumes.

Oh, and flamenco dancing
and a huge cake!

I want an extreme
sports party

with contests
and water balloons
and tacos!

Paco wants a taco!

Sounds like we have
some different ideas
for your party.

You're gonna have
to agree on a theme.

But I don't want
extreme sports.

And I don't want
a carnival!

I want dancing!

I want cliff diving!

BOTH: Cliff diving?!

Sure. We can fill up
the kiddie pool and--

No!

Mijo.

That's
too dangerous.

Yes, Miguel.

What ever
were you thinking?

Fine.

Hold it!

Isn't there a theme
you can both agree on?

Nope!

Nope!

Hmm? Hmm?

You know,
the day you were born

was a very special day
for all of us.

That was the day
we became a family.

Santi.

Cool!

Cool!

ROSA: You've always had
such wonderful parties together.

There was cake...

and presents...

and singing.

ALL: ♪ Mira que ya amaneció ♪

♪ Ya los pajarillos cantan ♪

♪ La luna ya se metió ♪

You were both so adorable.

MAYA: Yeah,
we were so cute!

Hey!

Ha ha ha!

[Maya and Miguel laugh]

Well,
until that part.

[Chuckles]

I still don't want
cliff diving.

And I still don't
want a carnival.

Well...what if you each
have your own party?

Hey!

Awk!

¡Eso es!

That is it!

But you'll have to do
your own planning.

¿Planearla?

Great!
I'm up for it.

Me, too!

Yeah!

Yeah!

[Paco humming]

We knew they'd want
to do their own thing
eventually.

They really do
share everything.

This will be good
for them.

What should we get them
for their birthday?

Birthday presents!

¡Regalos!

Birthday presents
are the least of
our worries right now.

The perfect present
for Maya and Miguel.

The perfect present.

Ah. Regalos, regalos...

Aah!

[Sputtering]

Awk! I needed a bath anyway.

Ha ha ha!

MAYA: Hey, guys.
Guess what?

Maya and I are having
separate birthday
parties this year!

And we get to plan
the parties ourselves!

Hmm.

Uh-huh.

Hmm.

What's the matter?

Well...if you each
have a party,

then we'll
have to pick
which one to go to.

Oh, don't worry
about that.

We'll just make sure
that they're not
at the same time!

Yeah. I mean,

it's not like
we want to miss

each other's party,
either.

Well, then...
let's party!

[All cheering]

MIGUEL: We're going to
need your help...

with invitations...

and decorations...

and games...

and food.

Yes! This is going
to be so much fun!

Let's meet at
the community center
after school.

And we can brainstorm!

[All cheering]

Ha ha ha!

[Garbled]
Thank you very much.

Hey!

[Squawking]

Well, the earth
sure is beautiful.

Good thing there's no planes
up here.

Aah! Awk!

Adios!

[Squawking]

Ohh.

Whew!

[Thinking]
Time to get down.

Pop, pop, pop.

Yippee!
Paco's going home!

[Laughing]

[Squawking]

Ooh! Ow. Ohh.

Oh, my feathers hurt.

MAYA: All right.

I hope you're all ready
to plan the fiesta
of the year.

Yeah, my party's
going to be
the greatest ever.

OK, well,
not as great as mine.

The party games I have planned
will be the most fun.

Awk! Fun! Party games?

Party games?
Ha ha ha!

I'll have
a skateboard ramp.

Skateboard, skateboard!

Ha ha ha!

Whoa!

¡Sí!

Hmm.

Awk!

I'll have
flamenco dancing...

Flamenco dancing!

[Singing]

[Laughter]

Paragliding.

Paragliding! Awk!

A roller coaster.

A roller coaster? Awk!

How am I gonna
do that one?

A monster truck
rally.

[Sigh]

Sheesh.

Let's go, girls.

Bye, Miguel.

Andy, Theo,
we're out of here.

Awk! Happy birthday?

How's the party planning
going? Mwah!

Paco, bring it in.

Well, here it is!

Wow! What's that?

The roller coaster
we're going to build

at the community center
for my party.

Awk!

¡Damas y caballeros,
la fiesta de Maya!

A roller coaster?!

We'll need wood,
lots and lots of wood.

Gracias, mamá.
See you later.

Mwah!

Here's the plan.

These are lists
and blueprints

of the things I need
for my monster truck
rally.

Thanks.

[Squawking]

Whoa. Heh!
That's quite a plan.

ROSA: What have we
gotten ourselves into?

This is only the beginning!

A roller coaster...

A monster truck show?!

I think this has gotten
a little out of control.

Well, we did tell them
they could plan
their own parties.

But a plan like this?

We're gonna have to
get more involved.

Por supuesto.
Of course.

[Sighing]

Paco needs a present.

Hmm. Paco needs the perfect
present for Maya and Miguel.

Oh!

Ohh.

We want your parties
to be very special,

but some of
your requests
are pretty...

Unrealistic.

SANTIAGO: Heh.

Your mom and I
have decided to help you
with the planning.

I'll be with you, Miguel.

MIGUEL: Cool.
I could use the help.

MAYA: Come on, mamá.

We have a ton of
things to do.

MIGUEL:
I don't know, papi.

I'm kinda old
for a bouncer.

But this is
a turbo supreme bouncer.

It's like being catapulted
into outer space!

Come on,
let's give it a try.

Ready.

Whoa!

Whoa!

[Laughing]

OK. Let's see. Hmm.

Knit one. Purl two.

Hmm. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm thinking I'm getting
the hang of this.

Uh-oh!

Jeez. One sweater?
I need two sweaters.

Get over here.

[Muttering]

Help? Awk!

ROSA: That's pretty.

Yeah, but I wanted
flamenco dancers,
not ballerinas.

Don't worry, Maya.

Your brother spent
a long time looking
at the book, too,

and his cake is
going to be fantastic.

Mwah!

[Gasp]

Miguel's cake is
going to be fantastic?

Oh, yes. It's amazing.



OK, wait. 3 tiers?

Ha ha ha!
How traditional.

¡Eso es!

That's it!

I know what I want.

I want my cake
in the shape
of a Mayan pyramid.

ROSA: A pyramid?

But, Maya, that's
going to be, um...

Unique?

A pyramid?

I'm not sure I ever made
a pyramid cake before.

But I'm up
for the challenge!

A Mayan pyramid!

Uh...

I believe in you, Gus.

I know you can do it!

Um, can you do it?

OK, senorita.

One Mayan pyramid cake
coming up!

We can do it.

¡Perfecto!

And if you could put
some flamenco dancers
around it,

that would be so great.

Thanks.

Decorations?

Check.

Food?

Check.

Party games?

Check.

Cake?

Check.

Invitations?

In the mail.

How's it going?

I think we're all set.

We just sent
the invitations.

We did, too.

[Paco groans]

Ay, Paco, what were you
trying to make?

Un regalo de cumpleaños
para Maya y Miguel.

You don't need to
give Maya and Miguel
a present

for their birthday.

Just help them
with their parties.

¡Sí!
¡Los ayudo con
las fiestas!

Si, Paco.

Eee...xhausted.

[Gasp]

[Knock on door]

I'm sleeping.

MAYA:
Miguel, wake up!

I have something
to give you!

An invitation
to my party!

Mmm. Oh, yeah.

I almost forgot.

Here.

BOTH: Saturday, 1:00 pm,
at the park?

They're at the same time?

And we invited
all the same people!

Oh, I can't
believe this!

Oh!

Ohh.

[Both groan]

Today's the big day!

Thank you.

Happy birthday!

¡Felíz cumpleaños!

[Sigh]

Hmm?

[Maya sighs]

PACO: Hmm.
Birthday breakfast.

Ay, Maya, don't be so sad.

It was just a mistake.

Lots of people will still
come to your party.

Hmm?

I doubt it.

Everyone will come
to my party

to see the turbo
supreme bounce house.

No way!

I bet everyone
would rather see
my Mayan pyramid cake!

Yeah? Well, I--

Mayan pyramid?

Mm-hmm.

Shaped like
a Mayan pyramid,

with flamenco
dancers.

Wait. Your mother and I
have a plan.

We scheduled everything
so that all the guests will know

when the big events are
happening at each party.

Your guests will be
able to participate
in both parties.

Milk for your coffee?

OK. I guess that
will be cool,

as long as they
don't have to miss
any of the good stuff

at my party.

MAYA: Whatever.

You know, if they're
not having way
too much fun

at my party.

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Happy birthday!

Awk!

GUS: One...step...at...a...time!

Oh!

Wow! That's terrific!

Oh, it's beautiful!

Gracias, Maya.

I worked very hard on it.

What do you think
of my Mayan pyramid?

Ooh! Look at
all the little
flamenco dancers!

I've never seen
such a huge cake!

Poor Miguel.
He has the usual...

[Kids yelling and cheering]

That bouncer looks awesome.

It is awesome.

You feel
like you're flying.

Yes! All right!

Maya doesn't have
a bouncer, does she?

Thanks.

Awk! Yup, yup, yup.

Are you on the list?

Check! Here's
your party hat.

Come on in.

Thank you!

Cake's in the back.

And you would be...

Awk! You're not
on the list.

BOY:
Follow me, please.

You're at the wrong
party.

[Cheering and laughter]

ANDY: Ha ha!
Awesome!

THEO: It's like flying!

Hey, everybody,
it's almost 1:30.

Well, then,
let's party!

MAYA: Piñata time!

[Kids shouting]

MIGUEL: What?

Well, wait a minute.
You're not really gonna--

[Kids breathing heavily]

Get ready...for candy!

GIRL: Whoa!
Look at all the candy!

Grab it!

[Bouncing]

This party is awesome!

Whoa! Whoa!

Do I know you?

Uh...no.

I just heard about
the bouncer, so I came.

[Sigh]

Well, no one else is here.

So I guess you
might as well bounce.

GIRL: Whoa!
Look at all the candy!

[Kids shouting]

SANTIAGO: Goal!



Miguel's soccer goal contest
is about to start.

MIGUEL:
Here we go, guys.

MAYA: Tea party!

Yay!

Maya!

Dear friends, thank you
for coming to my party.

Oh, this is so beautiful!

[Gasp]

Adios!

[Kids shouting]

Awk!

Aah!

It's only gonna
get worse from here.

Aah!

Forgive me, Maya!

My cake!

Aah! Oh, no!

Oh!

Go on without me!

I've had it!

ANDY: No!
No one gets left behind!

Guys, come back!
My cake!

We can still eat it!

Right?

CHRISSY:
We've got a bouncing
contest in 30 seconds!

Bouncing contest?

I want to go to
a bouncing contest!

Bouncing contest!
Bouncy, bouncy,
bouncy!

Bouncy!

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy!

Bouncy! Awk!

Aah!

Noooo!

Abandon ship!
Everybody out!

Watch out!

[Thinking]
What's going on
over there?

ANDY: Oh, well.

Should we go back
to Maya's party?

Yeah!

[Laughter]

[Thinking]
Hmm.

I wonder
how Maya's doing.

Where is he?

Where is she?

Where is my
twin brother?

Where is my
twin sister?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh!

Unh!

What are you doing,
spying?

No!
What are you doing?

Nothing. I just...

was wondering how
your party was going.

[Sigh]

My super turbo
bounce house popped.

How about you?

My Mayan pyramid cake
fell over.

No way.

The whole cake
just fell?

Like, "Timberrrrr!"

Ha ha ha!

Miguel, it's not funny!

Ha ha ha!

Yeah!

[Both laughing]

Hmm? Hmm?

Uh, where's Miguel?

Uh...I don't know.

Has anyone seen Maya?

Paco, go find
Maya and Miguel!

Oh, yeah.

[Squawking]

Ha ha ha!

Some strange kid
came to your party?

Ha ha ha!

Yeah. He only wanted to
use the bounce house.

Awk!

¡Aquí están!

Maya? Miguel?

What are you doing up there?

Our parties are over.

I don't have
a bouncer anymore.

And I don't
have a cake.

Cake. Wait a minute!

Follow me!

MIGUEL: A cake...
for both of us!

Oh, Miguel...
it's perfect!

PACO: May I have
this dance?

Awk! Ahem!

ALL: ♪ Despierta,
mi bien despierta ♪

♪ Mira, que ya amanecio ♪

♪ Ya los pajaritos cantan,
ya la luna se metió ♪

♪ Si el sereno de la esquina ♪

♪ Me quisiera hacer favor ♪

♪ De apagar su linternita ♪

♪ Mientras que pasa mi amor ♪

MAYA, VOICE-OVER:
So that's the story of
our separate birthday parties.

I don't know what
we'll do next year,

but whatever it is,
we'll do it together.

THEO: Well, then,
let's party!

[Squawks]
