-[camera shutter clicks]
-[both] Huh?

-Gotcha!
-Got what, Sam?

-You two.
-[Switch] Cool photo.

You're a great photographer, Sam.

I love taking photos of people
when they're smiling,

but don't even know the camera's there.

-Whoa! You even got Mr. Crawford smiling.
-Yep.

You just got to catch him
during his morning juice.

-That's so true!
-[chuckling]

Today we begin our chapter on journalism.

-And it's a partner project! Whoo-hoo!
-[cheering]

-Partners till the end!
-Oh, yeah!

Oh, I get to choose your partner.

-Huh?
-But why?

It'll be a fun chance
to work with someone new.

So when I call your names, park
your keister next to your partner, OK?

First up: Switch and…

I know who it is. It is… Carrie.

-[groans]
-Switch and Carrie. Uh-huh.

Next up: Karma and… Hm, this is
a good one. It's a good one. It's Sam!

Aw, snap! I got Sam.

Oh, you're so lucky.

[clears throat] This is my spot.

-[sighs]
-Mm, OK, thanks, bye.

So, we meet again.

I know, right?
I'm so hype we get to be partners.

-[chuckles]
-Poow!

[chuckling]

Now here are your instructions.

You're going to be writing
a newspaper article

about a neighborhood hero!

And no it can't be me guys, OK?

First, write a list of possible heroes
with your partner.

Hm… Hero? Ooh, I got one!

Uh, write a list. Pick a hero.

-Hm…
-[school bell rings]

All righty. That's all the time
we have today, everybody!

Oh. It looks like my list
is a little longer.

Yeah, I didn't write as much
'cause of my dyslexia,

but it's quality not quantity, right?

How's this dream team doing?

Uh… my dyslexia
made it hard to write a lot,

but Karma's got a bunch of hero ideas.

Well, no worries, Sam. Let me know
if I can do anything to help.

Quick reminder: you're awesome!

[chuckling]

[chuckles] But why not
make the hero we choose me?

Uh, no, Carrie, that's not what we--

Then it's settled. OK, thanks, bye.

[grunts] Carrie is the worst partner!

But things must be great with Sam.

Uh, well…

Oh. Poow!

Woo! [chuckles]

[sighs]

She told me that she… has dyslexia.

[gasps] Dyslexia?

My cousin told me once that
her friend's sister's brother is dyslexic,

and he can't read
or write or do math or… or…

Eat spaghetti!

[gasps] That sounds terrible!

I can't imagine not being able to write.

And I love spaghetti!

I've gotta help Sam.

Hm, neighborhood hero.

-[door opens]
-Did you say hero?

It's Super Keys!

And Super-er Major!

Oh, yeah? Then what's your super power?

Huh, when we eat pickle chips,

we get super chippy power!

[grunts]

-Uh…
-Yeah.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-Got it. Nice flexing.

-[gasps] Oh, no!
-[barks]

Wow! Did you see that?

He saved my camera!

You really are a super hero, Major.

-[chuckling]
-[barks]

So, Sam, ready
to interview our potential heroes?

-Sure thing.
-[chuckling]

Karma! Sam!

Hey, Chef Scott.

Mind if we interview you
for our newspaper article?

Oh, OK. Sure.

Oh, it's OK, Sam. I'll take notes for us.

Uh… OK.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-Mm.

First question: what's the recipe
for your purple scones?

Oh, no can do.

My purple scones have a secret ingredient.

Uh, it's OK, Karma.

I'm sure our readers won't care
about some boring old secret ingredient.

What? I'll have you know
that the secret ingredient is--

I almost told ya!

[chuckling]

-Huh.
-Now, uh, what'll you have?

-Hm. Uh…
-[chuckles nervously]

She doesn't want a menu.

No need to worry about reading.

-We'll have the usual, Chef Scott.
-Two ushus.

The usual?
But I might want something else.

Um, OK. Here you go.

Hm.

Fries. Orange juice. Spaghetti.

Oh, wait! No spaghetti!

Uh, how about coleslaw?

You know what? I'm not hungry anymore.

Uh, OK.

-There you are.
-[munches]

Hm.

All right, Switch,
neighborhood hero interview, take one.

This is so silly.

-You can't just--
-Ba, ba, ba. Action!

Today, we are here
with our neighborhood hero,

Carrie Bautista.

[chuckles] Thanks for having me, Carrie.

Now, Carrie, tell me,
how did you become so great?

-Well, Carrie…
-Whoa.

-Wh-oa-oa!
-[gasps] Cut!

-[grunts]
-[groans]

-You ruined it!
-Whoa! Stop, Carrie!

Switch is your partner.

-And you're not listening to me.
-[scoffs] Well, why would I?

-[Major barking]
-[Keys] Major!

Ah! What is this creature?
Ew, ew, ew!

Major!

-[pants]
-Thanks, Switch.

I'm sorry I wasn't listening.
I promise I'll be a better partner.

-[barks]
-Now, can you get your gross slobbery dog

away from me?

[chuckles] Sure.

-Good boy, Major. You saved the day.
-[barks]

Hm, Chef Scott wasn't right.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-Maybe Ms. Torres can be our hero.

[gasps] Ooh! Check this record out.

Hm.

It says,
"MC Grillz is the best rapper in--"

Yeah, I know.
Hm. I think I'm gonna buy it.

Let's see how much.

It's $10.

Oh, that's one, two, three--

I know what ten is. I'm not a baby.

Is this about my dyslexia?

Shh. Somebody might hear you.

So what if they do?

You wouldn't want people
knowing about your issue.

[sighs]
Ever since we started this project,

you've been treating me
like I can't do anything for myself.

But you don't have to, Sam.

I can read and write for both of us.

I can do the whole project if you want.

I don't think I wanna be partners
with someone who doesn't listen to me.

I have to go, Karma.

Sam, wait!

But…

[sighs]

[overlapping chatter]

[chuckles]

-[Carrie] Perfect.
-What?

-That's a great idea!
-[chuckles]

Oh, hey! Poow!

[Karma chuckles]

Oh.

Hm.

[raps]
♪ I don't understand what's goin' on ♪

♪ This partner project
has got me feeling all alone ♪

♪ I'm hitting roadblocks
and it's hard to assume ♪

♪ What Sam is really thinking
and now I'm so confused ♪

♪ I felt that I was helping
and now she's upset ♪

♪ I want my partner back
Don't want her to feel stressed ♪

♪ How can I make it work
'cause there's gotta be a way ♪

♪ Or maybe I've been wrong
in the way I communicate ♪

Yeah.

[clears throat] You OK, Karma?

'Cause it doesn't look like it.

-[sighs]
-How's the partner project going with Sam?

Not great.

Every since I found out about Sam's…

Dyslexia?

[sighs]

I've just been trying to help her.

I mean, Switch said people with dyslexia
can't read or write,

or do math, or even eat spaghetti.

[chuckles] Sam is one of the best readers
in the school, Karma,

and she can definitely eat spaghetti.

Dyslexia is different
for everyone who has it.

-You know, I'm dyslexic, too.
-[gasps]

It doesn't mean I can't do things.

It just means
I do some of them differently.

But you know who you should have
probably asked about Sam's dyslexia?

[sighs] Sam?

Ding, ding, ding! Correct-a-mundo!

[chuckles]

-Hm.
-[school bell rings]

[sighs] I messed up, Sam,

and I'm so sorry.

It's just I've never know anyone with…

Um…

Dyslexia. It's OK to say the word, Karma.

When you don't, it makes it sound like
it's something embarrassing, but it's not.

I hear you.

I don't know anything about dyslexia,

but I wanna learn.

Hm, dyslexia just means that my brain
works differently than yours.

For me, it means a harder time
understanding directions,

or writing things fast.

But I've also got a big imagination,

and I know all about photography.

And I'm good at puzzles.

Like, super good at puzzles.

I solved a 10,000-piece one by myself.

[chuckling]

I can do everything you can do.

I just do some things differently.

I get it, and I promise from now on,

I'll really listen to you.

I'm gonna be a good partner.

You're already being one.

[both] Poow!

By the way, I have an idea
for who our hero could be.

Oh, no! Not Super Keys!

[chuckles] Trust me.

[camera shutter clicks]

So, Major is our neighborhood hero.

He may be a furry fluff ball to some,

but he's always there
to lend an ear, a nose, a paw…

-[chuckles]
-Or a dance move!
