Alma: "“The Missing Vote"”

Alma: Ready or not! Here it comes!

André: Woah!

Harper: Ah!

Howard: Wah!

Yolette: [gasp]

Alma: Oops! Sorry everyone!

Mrs. Ramirez: [chuckle]

Alma: Hi Frankie! Hi Mrs. Ramirez!

Frankie: [chuckle] Hey Alma!

Hey everyone!

[chatter]

Mrs. Ramirez: Oh! Allow me, Frankie.

[Flamenco step] Hey!

[gasps]

Frankie: [chuckle]

i¡Gracias!

Good news, peeps!

Mrs. Ramirez has generously donated money to the Community Center Kids' Club and-

Mrs. Ramirez: You get to pick what to spend the money on!

[cheering]

Frankie: [chuckle] What she said!

So lay it on us.

Whaddya'll think we should buy for the Kids' Club?

[murmur]

Mrs. Ramirez: It can be anything!

Junior: Can we get penguins?

Frankie: I guess almost anything.

Sorry, Junior, no wild animals allowed in here.

Junior: Okay.

André: How about new art supplies?

Harper: Yes! Art supplies!

Howard: Totally!

Yolette: Ooo, yeah!

We could get new paints, brushes, paper, chalk, markers, chalk.

Did I already say chalk?

Alma: Let's get new board games!

Rafia: Yes!

Junior: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yolette: Ooo, yeah!

Yolette: We could get games with dice, and games with spinners, and team games, and not team games.

Frankie: I like it, I like it!

We got two choices.

New art supplies, or new board games.

So, how're we gonna pick which one to get?

Mrs. Ramirez: [gasp] Ooo! Ooo! Oh! I got it!

You can vote! [Flamenco clap]

[excited chatter]

[high five]

Alma: i¡Chévere!

I've never voted before!

Frankie: Here ya go.

Mrs. Ramirez: One for you. One for you. One for you.

Frankie: So circle your pick.

Either for paints.

Or for board games.

Then fold it over, and drop in the box.

Like this.

And the one with the most votes, wins!

Mrs. Ramirez: Ready?

Set.

[Flamenco step] Vote!

Rafia: Woo! World's Fastest Voter!

Yolette: Board games or art supplies?

Art supplies or board games?

Alma: Easy peasy.

I'm definitely picking board games.

Done voting!

André: Me too.

Yolette: Not me!

Did you know there's a new Carlotta Clues board game?

Where you have to solve The Case of the Waltzing Walrus?

Alma: Sa-weet. I can't wait to play it!

Yolette: Ooo! But how fantastic would it be to have new paint?!

We could make a mural of a whale.

Or tulips!

Or a whale that dances with tulips!

André: Yeah! All of that!

Yolette: Board games?

Or art supplies? Hmm.

Frankie: Last one.

Aight, let's see whatchu chose!

Alma: New board games, here we come!

Mrs. Ramirez: It's a tie?!

Board games and art supplies have the same number of votes!

Frankie: Hold up! Hold up! Wait! We got kids here!

So there shouldn't be a tie?

Mrs. Ramirez: We must be missing a vote.

[confused gasps]

Frankie: All good.

I'll make some more ballots and we'll vote again.

Alma: Hey, André.

If we get enough people to vote for what we want, then we'll get it.

André: True.

So we gotta get everyone to pick...

André: Art supplies! Alma: Board games!

Alma: Oh, it's on!

I'm gonna get everyone to vote for board games.

André: Well I'm going to get everyone to vote for art supplies.

André: Hey everyone!

Let's talk art supplies.

Alma: There sure are a lot of people to talk to.

Oh! I have a sa-weet idea!

Hi!

[playful chatter]

Hello?

[playful chatter]

[Flamenco step] Hey!

[gasps]

Whoa! That really works.

[rapping] Hey! Hey! New board games would be nice!

[rapping] Look, this one's missin' dice!

[rapping] Let's get some games, fresh and new!

[rapping] I promise I'll play with all of you!

So pick new board games!

[cheers]

Harper: You got it Alma!

Alma: Am I good or what?

[clanging]

André: Check out this picture!

What do ya think it is?

Junior: An ostrich!

Are ostriches green?

André: I have no idea.

But it's not an ostrich.

It's supposed to be...

A flamingo!

Junior: [gasp]

André: A pink flamingo!

And to paint one, we gotta have flamingo pink paint.

So we need new art supplies!

Harper: I agree!

Howard: Yeah, we do!

[cheering]

Alma: Woah! Even Junior wants art supplies!

I gotta get more people to pick board games.

Hey, everyone!

I'm here to remind you that a vote for board games is a vote for fun.

André: Howard, Howard, Howard.

Do you know all the exciting things you can do with clay?

Howard: I don't!

Tell me more.

Alma: C'mon! You love winning games.

André: You like watercolors, don't you?

Alma: Have you played Endless Ladders?

Talk about endless fun!

André: We could get new smocks!

Vote for art supplies!

Alma: Vote for board games!

Yolette: Oh! I would love new art supplies!

And new board games!

Alma: Hold up! You like them both?

So, which one did you vote for?

Yolette: Neither! I'm happy with whatever wins.

Alma/André: [gasp]

André: You're the missing vote!

Yolette: Mhm.

Alma: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

André: That we need Yolette to pick something?

Alma: Mhm.

Yolette, you gotta choose.

Or we'll have another tie.

Yolette: [gasp] You're totally right!

If I don't pick we'll have a tie again.

Then we'll be voting forever and ever and ever!

So I gotta vote.

André: Great!

So, whatcha gonna choose?

Yolette: Hmm. I pick...

Maybe...

How about...

Both?

Alma: Huh?

André: Really?

Yolette: Oh! I can't decide!

They're both just so good!

Alma/André: We'll help you pick!

André: Hold still.

Almost done.

There!

Yolette: Wow! That looks just like me!

Except for my shirt.

André: It would be even better if I had "“Happy Sky Blue"” paint.

Then, I could get your shirt color just right.

Yolette: If that's what you call this color, I agree.

André: Then you'll pick new art supplies?

Yolette: Sure!

Alma: But wait!

Don't you want to meet the, dun dun dun!

Mystery House Guest with me?

Yolette: I do! I always guess the plumber. She's so sneaky.

Alma: Me too.

We could play together but...

The mystery door is broken!

No door, no mystery.

Yolette: Then we need a new game.

Alma: So you'll pick board games?

Yolette: Yup!

André: Hang on.

You just said you'd pick art supplies.

Which is it?

Yolette: I still want both!

Alma/André: Hmm.

Alma: Just think! A new Gizmo-A-Go-Go with even more gizmos!

André: Imagine what we could do with new modelling clay!

Alma: More dice games!

André: More easels!

Alma: Card games!

André: Construction paper!

Alma: Spinners!

Yolette: Agh! I'm not picking anything! I can't do this!

Alma: I don't get it.

Why can't Yolette make up her mind?

I gotta think about this...

Yolette: I'm happy with whatever wins.

Alma: Well, Yolette said she'd be happy with whatever was picked.

But...

Yolette: If I don't pick we'll have a tie again.

So I gotta vote!

Alma: She said she wanted to pick something.

That's why André and I wanted to help her.

Card games!

André: Construction paper!

Alma: More dice games!

André: More easels!

Yolette: Agh! I'm not picking anything! I can't do this!

Alma: Ohhh. She didn't like that.

I think we made her feel uncomfortable.

Ah, I know what to do!

Hey, André, I think we tried too hard to get Yolette to pick what we wanted.

André: Huh, I guess I was a little pushy.

Alma: So was I.

Let's go talk to her.

André: Good idea Alma.

Alma: Hey, Yolette?

We're sorry we pushed you to pick what we wanted.

We didn't mean to make you upset.

André: Yeah, you should pick whatever you want.

Yolette: Thanks!

I can give it another try.

I'm gonna go think about it.

But first, group hug!

Frankie: Okay, fam, let's see what you chose!

Mrs. Ramirez: [clapping]

Frankie: Okay. So that's for art supplies.

And, for board games...

André: I can't take the suspense!

Alma: [giggle]

Frankie: Huh?

Mrs. Ramirez: I can't believe it! A tie?

Alma/André: Again?!

Yolette: Here you go!

I was just making up my mind.

Frankie: Thank you.

Mrs. Ramirez: Yay! We have a winner!

The Kids' Club is getting new...

Art supplies!

[cheering]

Yolette: Sorry, Alma, I know you wanted board games.

Alma: I'm just happy you picked what you wanted.

Yolette: Well, I was thinking.

With the art supplies, we can draw a new door for the Mystery House Guest game!

[high five]

André: Alright!

Alma: That would be ah-may-zing!

I can vote for that.

Alma: We're out of oranges and lemonade!

No more ice!

And all I have for Squid Guy's green smoothie is-

This jar of green pickles.

Harper: Pickles do not sound refreshing.

Also.

I ran out of room on the menu!

Papi: That's very kind of you to make drinks for everyone.

But. Uh.

This is a whole lotta stuff. And a big mess.

Alma: Hmm.

We promise to clean up later.

But we want to give everyone something that they like.

Papi: Maybe there's something simpler everyone would like?

Alma: Huh.

Maybe there is?

I gotta think about this...

Abuelo: [drinks] Mmm!

Yolette: Wow!

André: Ahh!

Alma: It's so much fun seeing everyone at our Everything Stand.

And they're loving our drinks.

We're out of oranges and lemonade! No more ice!

We don't have enough stuff.

And it's a lotta work.

It's even making me thirsty

[gasp] Wait a minute.

[drinks] Ahhh!

New York City water.

Best tap water in the world.

That's it! I know what to do!

I know a drink that everyone will love!

Alma: Water!

Harper: So...

We're just going to serve water?

Alma: Yup!

Harper: I love it!

Papi: Great idea, Almita! [chuckle]
