All right!
He's the b*mb! Yeah!

Now shake hands,
fellas!

Grrr!

Heh heh heh!

Whoa!
[crunch]

Ow!

Ow!

These guys got bigger
over the summer!

I think they
grow them in a lab.

What are they eating?

I don't know,
but I hope it's not us.

[tweet]

Hey!

Hey!

Oh! Not again!

I can't watch
anymore!

Oh! Me either.

Go, Miguelito!
Don't give up!

Now come on, Paco.

All he needs
is some good luck!

Cheer for him!

Oh, no.

[buzzer]

You can do it, Andy!

There is still
one minute left!

Ha ha!

Yes!

[gasp]

Oh, no!

Look, a corner kick!

Yay!

Now come on, Paco.
Help cheer!

You can do it, Andy!

Paquito,
you're not cheering.

I don't think
it'll help, Maya.

These guys need
a miracle to win.

[whistle blows]

Heh heh.
Ow!

Ha ha ha ha.

[whistle blows]

Yes!

Go, team!

Go, team! Go!

Go, team! Go!

Go, Purple Hawks! Go!

Go, team! Go!

Go, team! Go!

Yeah! All right!

[cheering]

Whoo-hoo!

Yay!

Yay!

[whistling]

See, Paco?

As soon as you cheered,
they scored!

Yes.

It's true.

[gasp]

¡Eso es!
That's it!

Paco, you're
a good luck charm!

[squawks]

¡Sí! Paco good luck!

Buena suerte.

Oh, come on, Maya.

You don't really
think Paco made
that goal happen?

Of course I do!

Mira. One more goal
and they win.

Ooh.

[whistle blows]

Huh?

PACO: Awk! Good luck!

Buena suerte.
Go, team! Go!

Go, team! Go!

[cheering]

[tweet]

[cheering]

[buzzer]

You see?

[squawks]

Paco good luck!

Maybe Paco is
a good luck charm.

Paco won game!

Hey! I had something
to do with it, too!

Paco won game!

The way those crazy
goals happened, Miguel,

it had to be Paco.

Unlikely.

The science
of statistics shows
that most events

which appear
to be lucky

actually possess
a relatively high
degree of probability.

Um, yeah.
Theo's usually
right.

THEO: I'm saying
that if Paco really
is good luck,

he'll bring good luck
all the time.

Well, we could use
some luck right now

if we want to eat
before the falafel
stand closes.

Ah, sorry, kids.
I've only got enough
for maybe 6 more.

MAYA: 1, 2, 3,


Oh, no!

[squawks]

Falafel for Paco!

Go, team! Go, team!
Go, team!

[watch beeps]

Oh, gosh.

Oh, no,
we're out of time.

We're gonna miss
our bus.

Oh, we'll eat later.

Boo-yeah!

All right!

[gasp]

Falafel, anyone?

Good luck Paco!

[squawks]

Paco kicks...Paco scores!

[squawks]

Go, team!

I am so excited!

I'm going to take
our little good
luck charm with me

to work on
the school paper!

And then later,
he can come to
my dance practice

and then help me study
for my math test.

But, Maya!
I need him for soccer.

We have a really
tough game today.

But I need to find
a front-page story!

Oh! Paco lives
for sports!

You don't want
to help me find

my next great
newspaper story?

Ooh! Paco,
star reporter!

Oh!

Paco!
Where's your loyalty?

See ya later!

You had him
yesterday.

Besides, I promise
I'll bring him
to your game

as soon
as I get my story.

Try not to use up
his luckiness!

Lead the way
to my next great
story, Paco!

Oh, ah...

Oh! Follow Paco!

Follow Paco!

Paco, what do you think
is going on here?

Big story!

¡Hola! ¿Que pasa?

Maya! Gus just won
a big award

for "Cocina Latina"
magazine!

He made an edible diorama
of his very first
wrestling match.

Hee hee! Yummy!

That big piece
of licorice is me--

Sinister Sombrero!

¡Eso es!

That's it!

Paco, you really
are good luck!

Aww...

Do you mind if I ask
you a few questions

for our school paper?

Go right ahead,
Maya.

PACO: Say "Cheese."

MAYA: ¡Perfecto!

I can't watch
anymore.

I hope we're
not too late.

Maya, Paco,
where were you guys?

We're getting creamed!

I got the scoop
of the century!

Thanks to Paco,
we're gonna have

the best school
newspaper ever!

That's great, Maya,
but this game is
a playoff qualifier.

Now please, Paco,
start cheering, OK?

Make me look like
Jose Cancela!

[puzzled squawk]

Go, team!

Goal!

Gooooooo, team!

[cheering]

Hooray!

MAN: Gooooaaall!

PACO: Yeah! Way to go!

[whistling]

Paco,
you're the best!

Oh, yeah. The best.

Go left.
No, go right!

Uh, jump!

Awesome!

Right on!

Thanks, Paco!

[coughs]

[squawks]

[squawks]

Two perfect scores!

It's all 'cause
you helped us
study, Paco!

¡Sí! That's our
good luck Paco!

Good luck Paco!

So, Paco, are you up
for helping me
teach Tito

to ride his bike
tomorrow?

Awk! Paco helps Miguel!

Wait! I need you
to help me make cupcakes

for the school
bake sale.

Paco helps Maya!

But Tito
needs good luck!

Paco's there!

The bake sale
is to raise money
for library books!

Paco do both!

Plenty of Paco.

Bike ride!

Bake sale!

Bike ride!

Bake sale!

Bake sale!

Bike ride!

Bike ride!

Bake sale!

Bike ride! Bike ride!

Bike ride!

Hi, guys.

I was wondering if I
could borrow Paco tomorrow

to help me with
my Chinese homework.

MAYA: Sorry. He'll be
at the bake sale.

Bike ride!

Bake sale!

Bake sale!

Bike ride!

Bike ride!

Bake sale!

Bake sale!

Bike ride!

Uh-oh.

[Maya and Miguel shouting]

Ta-da!
I give you....

the official
Paco lending chart!

Hmm? Hey,
what's the big idea?

Paco lending chart?

[squawk]

Paco lending chart?!

¡Exactamente!

This grid represents
Paco's time,

which I have divided
into one-hour blocks.

These magnets are
for the days of the week,

and these here
are for you,
our friends, and me.

I'm the horse.
You're the chicken.

I don't want to be
a chicken.

I want to be
something big
and tough,

like a lion!

[roaring]

They don't have lions
on farms.

All right, you can be
the sheep if you want.

How about the bull?

Grrrr!

The bull
doesn't stick.

The magnet's broken. Pig?

All right,
I guess so.

Now, as I was saying,

you reserve one space
on the chart at a time,

and you only
get an hour.

When your hour's up,
the next person
on the chart gets Paco.

Ohh...

¡Perfecto!

Good idea, Maya.

Gracias.

With the Paco
lending chart,

we'll have no problem
making sure there's enough
good luck for everyone!

Actually,
I changed my mind.

Can I be the goat?

Good gravy!

Paco, could you please
stir the batter?

No problem.

[grunting]

Why is Paco
stirring
the batter?

Because he's so lucky,
Abuela Elena.

[crash]

Paco? Lucky?

¡Sí! Paco lucky charm!

Mijitos, Paco's
a wonderful bird,

but no bird can be
a good luck charm!

That's superstition!

You just watch,
Abuelita!

With Paco's help,
our cupcakes will
sell like hot cakes.

Time to ride, Paco!

We're not done
with him yet.

Uh-oh.

PACO: Go, team! Go!

Go, team! Go!

Go, Tito! Go, Tito!

I getting
good luck, Paco!

You're doing great,
Tito!

OK, Paquito, time
for dance class!

But--

TITO: Paco!

¿Donde estas, Paco? ¡Ay!

And we're teapots.
We're teapots.



Excellent! You girls
are doing wonderfully!

[squawk]

I need your help
on my comic book, Paco.

Not yet, Miguel.

The chart says
it's my turn.

Now the jump, Maya!

Jump!

Ta-daaa!

Aah!

[crash]

[sigh]

Oh, where's Paco
when you need him?

Then if I move
this one here...

No.
No, no, no, no.

I'll take
this one here,

and I'll move it
there.

And then, uh,
you can, uh...

But I need Paco
for the paper.

[sigh]

PACO: Buena suerte.

Good luck!

Oh, yeah!
That's me.

Good luck Paco.

[squawks]

Good luck!

Buena suerte.

Good luck! Awk!

Hmm...

Thanks to Paco,
these cupcakes are
selling like hot cakes.

[squawks]

One, please.
Thank you.

[squawks]

Awk!

My turn with Paco!

Hmph!

Hmm...

MAYA: All righty.
Here are you magnets

for the Paco
lending chart.

And here's some
for you.

Ta-da!

[squawks]

Yeah! Who's going
for a high score?!

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Boo-yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[squawks]

Thanks, guys.

[beeping]

[grumbling]

Yup, that's it.

Great story, Paco.

MIGUEL: My turn!

Huh?

Oh...oh, no!

Look, I really need Paco
for the game tomorrow.

Your turn was up.

And besides,
we need Paco for dance.

Maya, we almost lost
our last game

because you
took him away
in the second half.

And I almost twisted
an ankle

because you took Paco
to play video games!

Niños. ¡Niños!

I think Paco
doesn't like you
fighting over him.

No fight over Paco!

[squawks]

[sigh]
You're right.

Maya, I think
you should stop
fighting over Paco

and let me
have him for
the game tomorrow!

What? You should stop
fighting over Paco

and let me have him
for the dance recital!

We're gonna need
whatever luck
Paco has left.

If Paco's
not at our recital,

it'll be ruined.

[squawks]

I know. Let's let
Paco decide.

Paco?

BOTH: Paco?

I think
he already did.

Where are ya,
Paco? Paco!

BOTH: Paco!

Oh, no!

Paco!

Where are you?

Paco!

Paco?

Here, Paco!

Oh, no.

Paco, where are you?

Paco!

Paco, dude,
where are you, man?

Paco!

Paco!

Where are you?

Here, Paco!

Come back, Paco!

¿Donde estas
Paco?

Paco!

Poor Paco.

I hope he knows
his way home.

Paco!

Paco!

[rustling]

PACO: Hello.

What?

Hola. Abuelita.

Here, Paco!

I need you for
my soccer game,
Paco!

And I need you
for my dance recital!

Soccer!

Dance!

Dance!

Soccer!

Abuelita!

What?

Paco?

Awk!

Paco,
what are you doing?

Shh. Paco hiding.

Oh. Entiendo.

Too much fighting
over you, is that right?

¡Sí!
Too much fighting.

Too bad you're not
a twin, eh, Paco?

Then Maya and Miguel
could each have
their own parrot!

Awk! ¡Eso es!

¡Yo tengo una idea!

Abuelita, can I borrow
your cell phone?

Por supuesto.

Hello, Theo?
Paco here.

Call Andy. Call Chrissy.
Call Maggie.

I have a great plan.
First, we...

[whispering]

Miguel!
Miguel!

We found him!

Phew!
What a relief!

How's he doing?

Wait! He's very tired
from being lost,

so I think you should
just let him rest.

Good thinking.

[watch beeps]

Now let's hurry up
and get him to
the soccer game!

We're going to need
his good luck!

CHRISSY: Maya,
we found him!

Yay! Oh, I was so
worried!

Let me see him!

Um, he's very tired
from being lost,

so let him
rest, OK?

Oh. No problem.

Now we should probably
hurry up and get him
to the dance recital.

Yummy!

Smart plan, Paquito.

Maya and Miguel
both think they
have good luck.

Yeah, they both
think they have me.

Flip!

Ahh! ¡Gracias!

De nada.

Paco drink, please?

Hmm.

ANDY: I think the Panthers
got even bigger

since last time.

T-t-that's OK.
We've got Paco...

right?

I guess so.

I'm glad we found him
before Maya did,

or he'd be at
her dance recital now.

OK, let's start
passing out the luck.

No! Keep that on.

He's sleepy,
remember?

Well he's had
a good rest, hasn't he?

Um...but if
he's grumpy,

he might not
be as lucky
as usual, right?

Hmm. I guess
you're right.

OK, Paco,
you just start out

by rubbing our shin guards
for good luck.

What do we do?

[whispering]

Line up, team!

Ha ha ha.

Maya,
aren't you nervous?

No. With Paco here,
I know things
will be great!

I'm just glad
we found him
before Miguel did,

or he'd be at
the soccer game right now.

So, Paco, you ready
to do your thing?

Wait! Paco's
still sort of tired,

and if
he gets upset,

he might not
be his usually
lucky self, right?

Good thinking.

I mean,
all he has to do

is say his magic
good luck words.

Let's practice,
everybody!

Paco is here!

Get in position,
Chrissy.

I'm just
making sure
Paco's OK.

Hit us with
the lucky words, Paco!

[music playing]

Paco, go ahead.
Say, "Go, team!"

Paco, why aren't
you talking?

I'll find out!

PACO'S VOICE:
Gooooo, team!

Don't you feel
so much better
with Paco here?

[weakly]
Uh, sure do!

Awk! This is the life.

Everything OK
in here?

We have lots
of fun, Abuelita!

OK, I've--

I mean, Paco
has rubbed all
our equipment

for good luck.

Shouldn't
we do drills?

No, he's still
got to rub our cleats.

Oh, uh, I forgot
about that.

Line up again, team!

Um, Miguel, Paco
really doesn't feel

like rubbing
everyone's shoes.

Really?
Let me talk to him.

N-no!
I'll handle it.

Paco,
stop acting weird

and rub everyone's
shoes, OK?

Ok, he's cool now.

No wonder Paco
took off.

This is
hard work.

Ahh...

Ow! Your feet
are hard and pointy.

That's why Paco
likes them rubbed!

Ahh...that's it!

¡Gracias!

PACO'S VOICE: Go, team!
Go, team! Go, team! Yay!

That was great!

I can't wait
for the show.

Let's practice
again!

Again? Wait.

I have to
rewind Paco.

Huh? Rewind him?

I mean, you have to
rewind the music,

and I have to
help Paco...unwind.

Oh!

He's ready.

Ah, Chrissy,
Maggie.

Could you come
help me

pass out
the programs,
please?

Go ahead.
We'll practice
without you.

[Tape of Paco's voice
changing speeds]

Go, team! Go!

[slower]
Go...team...Go...

[fast-forward tape chatter]

Paco, just say
the lucky words.

[tape screeching]

Paco, what's wrong?

Wait. What's this?

Chrissy!
Where's Paco?

Mrs. Salviati,
I have to go!

Paco's missing!

But, Maya...

This is more important.
Paco is gone!

Come back, Paco!

Phew! All done!

Huh? What's that?

Where's Paco?
What did you guys do?

It's kind of
a long story, but--

You guys play without me.

I've got to find Paco.

Paco!
Where are you?

Paco!

Miguel, wait!

He's all right! Wait!

MAYA: Paco!
Come back, Paco!

CHRISSY: Maya!
There you are.

I know where Paco is.
Come on!

Paco!

Awk!

Thank goodness
you're OK!

He is more than OK!

Oh, Paco,
we're so sorry!

Paco!

We shouldn't have
fought over you!

THEO: Yeah.

CHRISSY: Mm-hmm.

So, guys,
you made us both
think we had Paco?

THEO: It was really
Paco's idea.

CHRISSY:
We thought this way,

you both could
keep believing
you were lucky,

but without
fighting over Paco.

Oh. Paco doesn't
like fighting.

Sorry, Paquito.

Welcome back
to the family.

MAYA, VOICE-OVER:
So we ended up
being very lucky

that we found
our little Paquito!

Mwah!

Now let me hug Paco.

No, it's my turn.

Hey!

Uh-oh!
Here we go again!

[laughter]
