MIGUEL, VOICE-OVER:
Practicing a really cool
skateboard routine

for the school's
extreme sports exhibition...

and I was the favorite
to win it,

until I had to skate
the course with
my twin sister Maya.

I know what you're saying...

"Miguel, how could you skate
the course with Maya?"

I'm still asking myself
that same exact question.

Awk! Skateboard...
skatebird!

Hee hee!

So? Do you guys
think I'm ready

for the extreme
sports exhibition at
school next week?

Pues, claro, mijo.
You look fantastic.

And this was just
your rehearsal.

I can't wait to tape you
at the exhibition!

Papi, por favor.

I don't want the pressure
of performing for
hundreds of people

and being on camera!

Awk! Here comes
the skatebird!

Awk! Awk!

Whoa!

[crash]

Ay, Paco.

Ay.

Skatebird...

TV: Are you a twin or
do you just look like one?

You could be
on "Real Twins"!

We're calling on talented
twins everywhere to compete

for the grand prize--
your own reality TV show!

What kind of person
would want their life
to be a reality show?

Our own
reality show?

TV: That's right.

Just send us a tape telling us
why you and your twin

should be the next

Real Twins!

Maya, if you're
thinking what I think
you're thinking,

you better think again.

OK. There.

I thought again.

Miguel, we are
perfect contestants
for "Real Twins"!

¡Gemelos, gemelos!

Why do you think
we'd even have a chance?

OK, hello!
Because we're twins.

And we're real!
Right, Mama?

Yes, you and Miguel
are very real twins.

Aw. But we're
not identical.

You know how on
television all twins
are exactly alike.

We're totally different.

But we're
totally talented.

Oh, yes,
very talented,

in different ways.

¡Completamente diferentes!

You take after
my side of the fa--

eh...both!

Both sides of the family,
which are equally talented.

See? Totally
star material.

Ay, Maya.

I can't picture you
and me as stars.

All right.
I'll help you!

Imagine...
Miguel Santos...

a famous Hollywood
superstar.

You'd have
the coolest
clothes...

your own star...

and dozens of
adoring fans.

Your very
own skateboard...

My own skateboard!

PAPA: I'll go get
the video camera.

Come on,
twin brother. We've
got to get ready

for our big
audition!

OK, lights,
camera, action!

Hola. I'm Maya.

And this is my twin
brother, Miguel.

Hola. I'm Miguel,
and this is my twin
sister, Maya.

TOGETHER: We're real twins!

Awk. ¡Gemelos,
gemelos!

Twins!

We're both
very talented.

Miguel is a soccer star.

Soccer isn't
my only talent, though.

[beeping]

[sniffles]

Draw, partner.

My twin brother Miguel
is a great drummer.

And I am a great dancer!

Awk! We dance!

We want to share
all our talents
with the world...

so we think we
would be the perfect
contestants

for "Real Twins"!

Thank you for
watching our audition
tape. Adios!

That was
a wonderful video.

It showed off all your
different talents.

Oh, and such
a wonderful
dancer, Maya.

That comes
from my side
of the family.

You two looked
like movie stars.

See, Miguel?

It's already
happening.

This is our ticket
to stardom!

And it's going out first
thing tomorrow morning.

Maya...

are you checking
the mail again?

We should have heard
something by now.

It's only been a week.

[telephone rings]

That's them!

[ring]

Hello?

Oh, of course
you can borrow some
baking soda, Teresa.

Ugh! Ay, mi.

Don't be sad, Maya.

WOMAN: Oh, they're even
more adorable in person.

The way the boy
was reassuring his
twin sister...

"Aw. Don't be sad."

Ha! Priceless!

Did you get
all that, Harry?

Got it. Priceless.

MAMA: Um, I don't
mean to be rude,
but who are you?

Hi. I'm the director
of the "Real Twins"
reality show.

Congratulations,
Maya and Miguel.

You're finalists.

We're going to be following
you around for a while

and watching
your every move.

We only need
one thing.

Uh, what's that thing
we need, Harry?

Parental consent.

Uh, yeah. Right.

Once your parents
give us permission,

we'll film
your every move.

Consider it
a screen test.

Don't worry. You won't
even know we're here.

[kids gulp]

Did you say
we're finalists
for "Real Twins"?

Yup! That's
what we said.

Oh, that reminds me.

The other finalists
have recorded
something for you.

Um, Harry?

A special
message.

Hey, they
look familiar.

Son los gemelos
identicos de--

Yeah! The identical
twins from school!

Hi, Maya.

And Miguel.

I'm Barry.

And I'm Gary.

We wish you good luck.

You'll need it,
because...

TOGETHER: We're going
to be the next Real Twins!

Woo-hoo!

Heh heh!

Heh heh!

[chuckles]

Can you excuse us for
a few minutes?

We're up against
Barry and Gary!

I've never been able to
tell those twins apart.

¡Son tan parecidos!

Yeah, they're
so alike

that they're
practically
the same person!

We're nothing
like them, Miguel.

We're totally
different from
each other...

and they're
exactly alike!

MIGUEL: If I knew
the show was looking
for identical twins,

I would have
never gotten into
this crazy mess!

Think, think,
think, think.

Ay, gemelos
identicos.

Maybe we should quit.

¡Eso es!

Quit?

What?! No.

Eso no es.

What we need
to do is become
identical, too!

How are we supposed
to become identical

in the next few minutes?

Well, we can start
by making our
rooms identical.

I'll call for help.

OK, no. Uh-uh.

No stuffed animals
and no dolls.

You want your
own skateboard?

[crowd cheering]

MIGUEL: My own skateboard?

Dolls and stuffed
animals are
my special friends.

I thought so.

And look
what has to go
in your room.

Oh, thank goodness

you're here.

You said it was
an emergency.

It is. Are that
director lady

and her creative
camera assistant/
whatever guy

still out there?

Don't worry. We gave
them something to do.

[both chuckle]

Maya and Miguel were
adorable as babies.

Everyone said they got their
good looks from their abuela.

[chuckles]

Well, if they're
lucky--mm--they'll
inherit

your fabulous
cooking skills, too!

Mm! Mm!

Delicious flan.

Tell me something
I don't know.

Maya and Miguel's
audition tape showed

their many
talents, like dancing
and drawing.

Could you
talk about that?

And could I have
some more flan?

They are both
very talented.

They take after
my side of the family.

Did I mention I was quite
a good dancer once?

Back in Mexico, they called
me la belleza que baila--

"the dancing beauty."

[humming]

ABUELA:
Is my necklace on straight?

Hurry!

How do we look?

Unfashionable,
but identical.

¡Identicos,
identicos!

Look! I even have
a bracelet
that lights up

like Maya's
ponytail holder!

¡Eso es!

[fizzle]

It's not working.
It's not glowing.

Well, Miguel,
you can't have
everything.

My room is sure
looking more
like Miguel's.

Mm-hmm. And smelling
like it, too. Whew!

Hey, how do you
think I feel?

I have blueberry-scented
stickers all over
my desk now.

And flowered throw pillows.

What's
a throw pillow?

Can't live without
my throw pillows.

And I love
action figures!

"Grr! I'll get you,
you Froggy-Face man. Grr!"

Hey, that's
Lord Swamponar
you're talking to!

Heh heh. Silly Miguel.
Maya knows that.

So tell us, who are
Maya and Miguel?

Well, uh,
they're twins.

Uh, now if you'll
excuse us,

we have to go finish
redecorating, um...

Uh, the sink!

Sink redecorators. Hey,
our next reality show.

What do you think?

You read my mind.

Oh! Oh,
that reminds me.

Studies have
shown that some
twins can read

each other's minds.

Tell us your
thoughts on that.

Hmm. Miguel, what
are my thoughts on that?

Maya thinks...
those studies
must be about us.

MAMA: Maya,
what happened
to your room?

MAYA: Why, look!
It is our parents!

I'm sure they have
a lot to say about us.

Just be yourselves.

And I bet you want
to talk about how alike

Miguel and I are.

¿Parecidos?

But you're--

Can't talk now.

We have to help
Theo and Chrissy.
Bye-bye-bye.

Are we designing
geniuses or what?

We should have
our own show.

Maya, do you
want to try

to read
my mind now?

Um, you're thinking about
how much you love

your new throw pillows?

Guess again.

You're thinking...how
in the world did
you let yourself

fall for another
one of my crazy--

That's more
like it.

Hey, I read your mind!

Grr!

Don't worry, Miguel.
It's only until
after dinner.

So tell us
what else
Maya and Miguel

have in common.

Well, they both
like...oatmeal.

And they both
use spoons to eat
their oatmeal.

Well, it's getting
close to dinnertime,
so we better--

Perfect! We'll go set
up in the dining room!

Ha ha! Just pretend
we're not here.

[blows kiss]

Pretty bird!
Pretty bird!

So, twins, how was your day?

Great!

Great!

Abuela made her famous
enchiladas with peas
and cauliflower.

Cauliflower? But
I can't stand--

[kick]

Ow!

That we don't eat
cauliflower every night.

We both love
cauliflower!

Mm! Mm! Yum!

Would you like to film
us eating dessert now?

I made more flan.

Did you say flan?

Back in Mexico,
they called me
la reina del flan.

All the children
would line up
around the block

just to try
my delicious flan.

Delicious flan...

Oh, and, twins,

be sure to get
a good night's
sleep tonight.

Tomorrow, we'll be filming
you all day at school.

Uh...school?

Uh!

Where I'm doing
my extreme skateboarding
performance?

Um, I think
you mean "we."

[chuckles nervously]

I can't believe you
made me wear this.

And why are we
walking like this?

I want to show them
how we can walk

just like those
other twins can.

Ow!

MAYA:
See, we need practice,

because we're going

to have to keep
this up all day.

All day? Maya!

Oh, look! There's
Gary and Barry!

This double oatmeal...

granola bar
is doubly...

delicious!

Delicious!

DIRECTOR: So, tell us,
Barry and Gary,
how do you think

you're doing
so far in the "Real
Twins" contest?

CAMERAMAN: Are you
worried about your
competition?

Sure, we're worried.

Worried about
how they'll feel
when they lose.

BARRY AND GARY:
See you at school,
Maya and Miguel!

Heh heh heh!

Right foot first.

You read my mind.

[bell rings]

CAMERAMAN: Wow.
Such talented twins.

You dance, you draw,
what don't you do?

Well, doing comic books is
really what I'm best at.

What about you, Maya?

Um...who? Me?

I'm a comic book artist,
too, just like Miguel!

This is Ponyzilla,
evil horse of
the, um, underwear.

Uh, I think she
means underworld.

Yeah, underworld.

[bell ringing]

Hey, I thought it
was kind of cool.

But it wasn't me.

♪♪

OK, guys, here
comes my drum solo!

That's my twin brother.
Isn't he great?!

He's terrific!

I'm surprised
that you don't play
the drums, too.

Uh...I do!

Hey!

[Maya scatting]

[drumming without rhythm]

Ooh.

[chuckles nervously]

I'll take the fish

Me, too!

sauce on mine, please.

Uh...

Me, too.

[burps]

P.A.: Attention,
everyone. It's time

for the extreme sports
exhibition.

Don't miss Miguel Santos
on his skateboard...

Oh, no.

Why didn't they
mention you, too, Maya?

Oh, they will.

As soon as we crash--I mean
crush the competition.

Synchronized
skateboarding?

Incredible!
We got to get some
footage on that!

GIRL: ♪ Barry, Gary,
you're my man... ♪

Yay, Barry
and Gary!

Yeah! All right!

[crowd cheering]

Beautiful!

Fantastic!

I can't take
this pressure.

You can do it,
Miguel!

I'm right
by your side!

[sarcastically]
Great.

Now just hold on
to me.

I'll steer us
through this...

I hope.

Hey, don't forget.

I'm a pretty good
skateboarder myself.

Ready when you
are, twins.

[whistle blows]

CHRISSY: Yay, Miguel!

THEO: Let's go!
Go all the way!

[crowd cheering]

BOY: Do it, Maya!
You can do it!

Come on, guys!

Go, Miguel!

Yay, Maya!

Amazing!
All right!

Maya,
what are you doing?

I'm just adding
some of my own moves
to your routine.

Get ready to flip!

MAYA: Whee! Ooh!

MIGUEL: Whoa!

Look out! Hold on!

MAYA: Aah! Hee hee!

Look out!

MIGUEL: Whoa!

Aah!

Lean left!

MAYA: Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

[birds squawking]

Ow!

P.A.: Congratulations
to our extreme
sports winners,

Barry and Gary
Hoffenstater!

And we all wish
Maya and Miguel
a speedy recovery.

Lo siento, Miguel.

I ruined
your skateboarding
performance.

If I had listened
to you and skated
exactly like you,

we could have won.

Maybe, but that
means you wouldn't
have been yourself.

We're not
identical, remember?

We're different.

¡Somos diferentes!

We haven't really
been ourselves

through
this whole thing.

That's for sure.

I hate cauliflower.

And I hate
tartar sauce. Ew!

And I really didn't
like those flowered
throw pillows

in my room.

Well, I sure didn't
like your sweaty
soccer cleats

in my room.

Ew! They
really stink.

You know what
stinks even more?

Having to be
exactly alike.

Yeah. I liked
us better when
we were different.

DIRECTOR: Well,
at least you both
agree on something.

Uh, what do
you mean?

We agree
on everything.

OK, OK, you can drop
your twin act now.

What?

Look, we've been
waiting all along
for you two

just to be
yourselves,

like in your tape.

You were a lot
more interesting.

And real.

Yeah. Unlike Gary
and Barry.

They're so alike.

So...does that mean
that we're the next
"Real Twins"?

Uh, no.

Instead of a show
about twins, we're
thinking of going

in a whole
different direction.

TV ANNOUNCER: Coming
this fall...she dances.

She sings.

And she makes flan that'll
knock your socks off.

Don't miss "Chef Abuela"!

MIGUEL, VOICE-OVER:
So I guess I have
to admit...

even though Maya's
big ideas usually
lead to a big mess,

there is always one good
thing that happens.

Mm. I've always
been photogenic.

And co-starring Paco!

Awk! Pretty bird!
Pretty bird! Awk!
