WOMAN ON LOUDSPEAKER: Attention, students. There's been a change on the menu

in the cafeteria.

Today's soup, "mushroom surprise," is now "mushroom-

flavored surprise."

Oh!Aw!

Ew.

And also we will be taking class pictures one week

from today.

Class pictures!

You know what that means.

Dressing up.

And fancy hairstyles!

ALL: Looking great!

Class pictures. Ugh.

You know what that means.

MIGUEL: Itchy clothes.

THEO: Weird hair.

ALL: Looking stupid.

Maggie's an expert at looking good in her class pictures.

She's won the "best smile" trophy for the last

four years!

That's it! !¡Eso es!

Maggie can help us look good in our class

pictures, too!

¿Para las fotos? She can't help me.

No matter what, I always end up

making a stupid face.

[Miguel groaning]

Cheer up, Miguel.

Maybe Maggie can try to help us take a good picture.

I'll be glad to help.

The secret to taking a good class picture

is all up here.

If you feel happy, you'll look great!

It's all about attitude.

Mama! Guess what?

What?

Grrr!

What's wrong? Was there an accident?

Worse.

There was no accident.

It's picture day next week!

PACO: ¿Van a tomar fotos?

[Squawk]

Picture day. Picture day.

You just like picture day because you always take

good pictures.

Hola, pretty bird. Hola.

And you're not supposed to be there.

You're not a student!

It's all about attitude.

We just got a package from my friend Miranda,

and I'm sure it's new clothes!

You could wear them for picture day!

Ugh. Ugh.

Try them on. Let's see if they fit!

Oh.Oh.

You look so adorable!

[Paco humming "Sailing, sailing"]

No. They are not wearing those to picture day.

But Miranda made them!

Remember the sweaters she made them?

The sleeves were a little long,

but these outfits fit perfectly!

They can wear them for Halloween.

!¡Gracias, Abuelita!

I'll take you to the mall to get some new sweaters

for your class picture.

Paco needs new clothes, too!

Hint. Hint.

Do I have to go?

No, mijo, you don't have to go.

You can just wear this on picture day.

[Bell rings]

The mall sounds good!

Mom! It's picture day in one week!

We have lots of planning.

We have to go and buy a new outfit, think about possible

hairstyles--maybe up, maybe down.

I had an idea for--

Wow. Did you get a letter from school or something?

Did you forget?

Today's the special day!

What special day?

You're growing up so fast.

I am?

I mean I am!

There's a new boutique on Eighth Street that

has cute clothes.

Is that where we're going?

Not that we have to go there, but--

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Here we are-- Dr. Stone's office.

Braces?!

I'm getting braces one week before picture day?!

[All talking at once]

It's a monster. Run!

Aah!

Maggie, honey, we discussed this.

You wanted straighter teeth.

You were excited about it.

You've been counting it down on your day planner!

But I don't want braces now.

Not this week--

the week I'm taking my school pictures.

Don't worry, they won't be on that long.

Even with braces, you'll still be beautiful.

What if I don't find a sweater?

It's so easy for Miguel.

No, it isn't. It's itchy.

Paco loves outfits.

Even Paco has an outfit!

Two outfits.

Casual...

or fancy.

Don't rub it in.

No te preocupes, mija.

We can go upstairs and try the shops on the second level.

OK.

MAYA: What if I don't find an outfit?

You can wear that sailor suit Miranda sent.

Maggie?

Maggie, wait!

Oh!

I don't think she heard me.

Maggie!

Excuse me! !¡Perdon!

Pardon me. Pardon me. Excuse me.

Much easier!

You could help by flying ahead and finding Maggie!

Maggie? ¿Donde estas?

PACO: There she is. Ha ha!

You said it! Paco find Maggie!

Paco find Maggie! [Squawk]

Sorry.

This way, Maya. [Squawk]

I see her!

Whew!

That was close.

Paco!

[Squawk]

Thanks.

Where did she go?

I was sure I saw her come in here.

Maggie!

No!

Maggie, wait!

Come on!

[Panting]

[Ah-choo!]

Hey.

Maggie, come back here! What's wrong?

Maggie!

Why are you running away?

Maggie! Maggie, wait!

[Thinking] I was sure I saw her come in here.

PACO: !¡Aqui esta!

MAYA: Hi, Maggie.

Hey! Close the curtain, young lady.

Sorry!

Scary.

Maggie, it's me! Didn't you hear me calling you?

MAGGIE: Go away.

What?

I'm not coming out--ever.

What?

Maggie, is something wrong?

I'm a monster!

Oh.

Paco, stop it.

Maggie, what happened? Did you get a bad haircut?

Because you can always get hair extensions.

No, that is not the problem.

This is serious, Maya. I'm a monster.

PACO: It's true.

You're exaggerating.

Come on out, and I'll prove that whatever it is, Maggie,

it's not so bad.No. No.

Well, OK.

Maggie, you look wonderful, like always.

Why did you think you were a monster?

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

!¡Le pusieron frenos!

I knew it.

These braces have turned me a monster!

Aaah!

Maggie!

Maggie, are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

You know, you look fine with your braces.

I was only blinded for a second by the lights flashing off them.

Mmmm.

Aren't you ever going to talk to me?

Mm-mm.

But you have a book report to do this afternoon.

You'll have to talk then.

Oooff!

Maggie, I can't stand to see you like this!

Like what?

Is that all you're having for lunch?

Because of the braces?

But that's not gonna be enough to fill you up.

Here. You want some of my sandwich?

Mm-mm.

OK, but if you want some, there's plenty!

It's got avocado.

Amocamo?

Here. Just take a bite.

One teensy, weensy little bite.

Good, huh?

Yeah.

Sorry I ate so much.

That's more like the Maggie I know.

See? Braces aren't so bad.

You can still talk.

Yeah. I was wondering how I was gonna do

that oral book report in Mrs. Langley's class.

Well, um, talking is a really good start,

but now let's see you smile!

Show us your smile!

Yeah, smile, Maggie!

Let's see some teeth!

Ay mi.

What? What's wrong?

Um, nothing! You look fine.

Everything's fine!

THEO: Hola, everyone.

MAGGIE: Oh, hi.

Whoa.

Hey, Maggie, what's all that green gunk in your teeth?

Green gunk?

Ow!

It looks like some mold sprouted there.

Ow!

Mold?

Yeah, like in that movie where the alien mold takes over

that guy's whole face.

That was so gross!

Whoa!

Aaah!

Maggie.

Ow!Ow!

Thanks, guys.

What? Did we say something wrong?

You were very insensitive.

Poor Maggie. She's the only one of us who has braces.

She must feel so lonely.

That's it! !¡Eso es!

We'll all get braces, and then--

No! No!

Well, if you won't help Maggie, then I'll do it alone.

And now to present her book report--Maggie.

Mimmle mimmen. My moomeemaa may mammotmy moomeemaa may

mammotmy moomeemaa may mammot.

Uh, Maggie, is there something wrong?

Mm-mm.

Oh. Well, we can't understand a word you're saying.

Mmm. Hmm.

Book!

Mmm.

Tiny! Small!

Bird!

This is supposed to be an oral book report, Maggie.

Not charades.

Mmm, mmmff.

"Little Women"!

Well, Maggie, if you feel uncomfortable giving your

report today, perhaps someone else would like to go

in your place?

I'll go, Mithuth Langley!

You'll have to ekthuth me. I jutht got bratheth,

tho it'th a little hard to thpeak but bratheth are

nothing to be athamed of!

GIRL: Ow!

Maggie? Maggie.

Maggie, don't you wanna get thome pitha?

Maya, please take those things out of your mouth.

You don't really have braces.

I jutht want to understhand what it is you're going through!

That's sweet, Maya, but you can take your fake braces

off anytime you want.

I can't.

I know, but yours are going to come off soon--ow!

Ow!

Your braces are tearing out my hair.

I'm thorry! Let me jutht--

Ow, ow.

Sorry, sorry.

Ha ha ha!

OK, I think we're thtuck.

Now what do we do?

Umm, Abuela can fixth anything.

Sorry, sorry.

Oh, so sorry, Maggie, Maggie, I'm sorry.

Ow! Ow!

Uh-huh, there.

And I didn't even have to cut any hair.

Honestly, Maya, this time I think you

outdid yourself.

Gracias, Abuelita.

PACO: Hey! What's the big idea?

Sorry.

A bird can't get a break.

At least we got you separated in time

for picture day.

Picture day! I almost forgot!

I won't smile.

What? You can't take a picture without a smile.

You've won the "best smile" trophy for the last four years!

In the early days of photography, people never smiled.

That doesn't sound like fun.

Ha ha ha!

That's it! !¡Eso es!

We'll take practice pictures, and you'll see.

You don't look nearly as bad as you think you do!

Paco will make you a star.

Fabulous.

Well, OK. It couldn't hurt.

Have a seat.

Paco, I'm not taking pictures of you!

Hmph!

OK, then. Let me get you centered.

Now, smile!

You're going to have to smile bigger than that to keep your

"best smile" title, Maggie.

Come on, show some teeth!

Show us that dazzling smile.

Come on, Maggie, smile for the camera.

Say cheese!

Paco!

We're doing something important. Please go away!

Paco has braces, too.

Cheese.

Ha ha ha!

Perfect!

Beautiful!

PACO: Beautiful. That's it.

Bigger smiles. That's it.

PACO: Work it, girl.

Work it! Work it!

Beautiful.

Now all we have to do is put this into my computer.

Let's see how you look.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

I'm never gonna smile again!

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

You want the apple, or this year's new prop--

the old-timey telephone?

Uh...

You look like an apple.

Whoa!

Next!

Apple or--

No props.

Next!

Next!

I'm ready for my closeup.

OK. Phone or apple?

Apple.

It keeps the doctor away.

Can I get a do-over?

MIGUEL: Well, I did it again.

I took another school picture.

Maybe the pictures will get lost.

Or abducted by aliens...

Or hit by a comet.

Oh, come on.

It can't be that bad.

How do you think your picture is gonna turn out, Maya?

I don't know, but I'm certainly not going to

panic about it.

Aggghhhh!

Oh, my hair is so frizzy!

Oh!

Oh.

I sneezed!

I made a stupid face!

I look like an alien!

!¡Paco muy guapo!

We can't show these pictures to our parents.

We don't have any choice!

MIGUEL: Oh, yeah. You sure picked a winner.

Thanks, Miguel.

Then we'll have to take new pictures--fast.

Ooohhh.

OK, smile!

Who's next?

I think it's Maggie's turn.

I don't want to take any more pictures.

I've suffered enough!

Come on, Maggie, just a few more.

I'll even use my computer program to take out

the braces!

You can do that?

I can give you any smile you want, with perfect teeth.

Melissa Rojas?!

My cousin who works in the salon?

No!

The Melissa Rojas.

She has the best smile in the world!

My cousin has a nice smile, too!

Sure, if that's what you want!

That's definitely what I want!

That's it.

Let's see the pictures.

I can't believe my eyes.

Miguel's smile is weird.

I can't believe your eyes.

Chrissy's eyes are closed.

Maya's hair is frizzy.

And I still look like an alien!

What planet are you from?

Mars?

This didn't work at all.

I guess we should just use the real pictures.

You're right.I guess we'd better.

Thanks for trying, Maya.

There's always next year.

Maya, I, um-- I still want you to take out the braces.

OK, here's your picture, and here's Melissa Rojas.

Now all we have to do is take her smile

and move it over to yours!

There we go.

Uh, I think the mouth is backwards there, Maya.

Ok, ah, lemme see here. Mmm, how about that?

Nope.

Sorry.

A little bit smaller. OK. Move it over here.

OK, there, perfect.

That's terrific! Melissa Rojas!

Let's print it out.

I look great!

Oh, thanks, Maya, thanks!

You're welcome.

I'll definitely win "best smile" again.

Well?

It's nice.

Doesn't my smile look perfect?

Yes, but it doesn't look like you.

That smile looks like Melissa Rojas',

not my beautiful Maggie.

Mama, papi, our school pictures are here.

I hope you're not too disappointed.

Oh!

These are so wonderful!

Santiago, quick, get some envelopes.

We have to send them to everyone in our family.

Huh?Huh?

What about my goofy look?

Daah.

And my frizzy hair?

What are you talking about?

All I see are my two beautiful children.

Really?

I guess my picture doesn't really look that bad.

[Knock on door]

Maya, I need to talk to you.

You don't like the picture?

The picture is beautiful,

but I was wondering if I could have

the one you took with the braces.

What? Why do you want the one with the braces?

You hate the braces!

Oh, my mom likes the picture you took without the braces,

but it doesn't look like me.

Besides the picture with the braces looks good!

You think so?

Yeah. Nobody takes a better picture than me,

even with braces.

PACO: Ahem.

See? Paco knows the secret.

If you feel happy, you look great.

Right, Paco?

Feel happy, look great.

Keep smiling.

I'm gonna work on my tan.

MAYA, VOICE-OVER: Maggie finally got her smile back.

And even with the braces, it was still the best smile

in the school.
