my best friend maggie.

She is one of those people

who's always known
what she wanted to be...



Maggie: a 1, a 2,

a 1, 2, 3, 4.


Maya, voice-over:
maggie has always known

that she wanted
to be a dancer!

Of course, one person's dream
is another person's nightmare.



¡Uno, dos, tres!

¡Salsa!

Miguel: whoa! Waah!

[squawks]

unh!

Maggie: a 1, a 2.

Maya, voice-over:
but then maggie found out
that dreams are like clouds.

Always changing!

You know, mrs. Langley
is announcing

the soloist
for school assembly
today, right?

Oh, don't worry,
maggie.

Of course
she's going to
pick you.

You're
the best dancer
in the whole class!

You think?

Thanks, maya.

This solo is
my big break,

and I want it
to be perfect!

Miguel:
make a goal

like this.

Miguel stands
ready for
the penalty kick.

He steps up
and kicks!

He scores!

Boo-yah! Boo-yah!
Boo-yah!

Good morning, class.

Boo-yah!

To your desks, please.

Good morning, mrs. Langley!

Before I announce the soloist
for the school assembly day--

please pick me!
Please pick me!
Please pick me!

I want to remind everyone that
I've posted the sign-up sheet

for our upcoming elections
for class president.

Democracy
is a wonderful thing.

If you'd like to
take part in it,

put your name on that piece
of paper today!

Ok, then.

On to the next order
of business:

school assembly day.

I have chosen
this year's soloist--maggie...

Yes!

But because I know
she's not the only member

of our class
who loves to dance,

I've chosen
someone else to share

in the spotlight with her--

miguel!

Whoa!

Ohh!

I saw your
little dance, miguel.

Very good.

[maya laughs]

this is going to be
a show to remember!

Miguel: I seriously
didn't think this
could get worse!

How am I supposed
to dance in this?

Aah!

Wow! You guys look,

uh, great!

I love the stars
and stripes!

And, maggie,

that move you just did...

That was, you know, wow!

Ok! Let's walk
through the show.

And be careful
of the stage crew,
please!

Mrs. Langley:
ok, maggie and miguel,

sashay to the front
of the stage.

Sashay?

It's like skipping.

Just follow me.

Sashay, sashay!

Sashay, sashay, sashay!

Ohh! Ohh!

Ohh! Uh-oh!

Maggie! Watch out!

Whoa!

Ohh!

No!

Maggie!

Duck!

Duck?

It's not a duck.
It's a...

Pig!

Miguel: I'm so sorry!

Don't worry, miguel.

It's just
a rehearsal.

No one saw it.

No!

Miguel: maggie,
I'm so sorry! Really!

Don't worry, miguel.

Nobody reads
the school paper.

Hee hee hee!

I feel terrible.

I don't think I've
ever felt this awful.

Miguel! ¡Eso es!

Uh-oh.

Just tell mrs. Langley

you don't want to be
in the show.

Wow. That's
a pretty good idea.

Sorry, miguel.
I'm afraid you have
to be in the show.

What?

I appreciate
your hesitation, miguel,

but I believe
you're just suffering

from a classic case
of stage fright.

Very common
in your age group.

For example, look
at that empty
piece of paper.

Not one person
has signed up to run
for class president.

It's the same
every single year.

It's like pulling teeth
getting you kids out
of your shells.

Mrs. Langley,
I don't have
a shell.

I just don't dance.

You can't fool me.

I saw the joy
on your face

when you were dancing
around your desk
in my class.

That was not joy.
Really!

I'm sorry, miguel,
but the entire routine

has already
been planned out,

and it's too late
to change it now.

Oh.

Especially since,
with no class president,

I have nobody
to help me
with the show.

The class president
helps you

with the school
assembly day show?

The president
is supposed to be

in charge
of the entire production.

Except for the last
two years we've had
no president,

and this year,
I'm afraid
it'll be the same.

She said no?

She says
that with no
class president,

she won't have time
to change the show.

¡Eso es!
I have an idea!

Maggie can run
for class president!

Uh, why?

Because if
the class president

is in charge
of the school
assembly day,

they can change
the show any way
they want!

Miguel: and write me
out of the show!

Oh, yeah!

But how
am I gonna win
an election?

You'll win
because no one
will run against you,

and everyone
will vote for you!

Right, theo?

Uh, well, sure. Maybe.

Maybe? You wouldn't
vote for maggie?

Yeah, well,
class president
is a big deal.

I would have to know
what maggie stood for,
you know?

Oh, yeah. Of course.
I totally understand.

Go ahead.
Tell us what you
stand for, maggie!

Um, well, I stand
to give adults seats
on the bus.

I'd get rid
of boring
yellow pencils

and make sure
every pencil had

a little furry ball
on the end!

Sure, and I'd have
everyone write

on pretty
pink paper

instead of white!

I'd color-coordinate
the lunchroom

and take
the mystery out
of mystery meats!

Oh, and I'm
definitely

against that noise
chalk makes!

Vote maggie
for pencils and paper,
pretty lunchrooms,

and an end
to chalk screech!

Oh, and of course,
I'd make my solo

for school
assembly day a solo!

You've got my vote.

Maggie, you're
an inspiration.

And since no one else
is running,

everyone
will vote for you!

Everyone to your desks.

Get your paper
and pencils ready.

[gasps]

someone's signed up to run
for class president!

Maggie! Oh, how wonderful!

Thank you,
mrs. Langley.

I wrote down
a few words on this
piece of paper.

"fellow classmates
and distinguished teacher,

I am honored
to accept the position
of class president"--

oh, dear. Maggie,

I'm afraid you have
to be elected first.

Elected?

Yes, elected.

We are very lucky
to live in a country

where every citizen
has a vote.

So before you give
your acceptance speech,

I think we should see
who else is running.

Are there
any other nominations?

Simon?

Um, I'd like
to nominate myself.

It looks like we
finally have a real race!

Candidates maggie and simon,

you have today
and tomorrow to campaign,

and friday, we will have
our final speeches and a vote!

Oh, maya!
You said no one
would run!

Don't worry!

I'll bet he's not
that serious.

What?

Oh, don't panic.

It's not like
they're everywhere!

So, maya, define
everywhere.

Ok. Don't worry.

From now on,
I'm running your campaign.

That's a good thing.

miguel santos
is unstoppable.

Look at the fear
in theo's eyes.

Miguel santos
dribbles upfield.

He's got
a clean sh*t

at the game-winning
goal!

Maya: miiigueelll!

Oh, there you are.

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

Miguel, maggie
and I need you

to draw for her
presidential
campaign.

Please, miguelito.
You're such
a good artist!

Bigger! Bigger!
Bigger!

Good, good.
Hold it! Hold it!

I'm trying!

Ok. I think I've
got something.

Maggie: uh, is that really
very presidential?

I like it.

It shows your strength.

But it's only
one piece of paper.

What good is that
going to do?

One piece of paper
can change the world.

In the name of democracy,
mrs. Langley,

we request equal access
to the media!

Please?

Well, ok.

Just don't make
a mess.

You have
maggie's word.

If you need me
for anything,

I'll be at my desk.

Let's see how many
this baby can handle.



That sounds good.

But we may need more.



Ooh, that
sounds better!

Here we go!

Hmm. That's
a little too dark.

Let's see.

Lighter? Nope.

Maybe this?
Oh, here!

Maya!

Wait!

Whoa!

Make it stop!

Maya, help!

Uh-oh. I can't.

[screaming]

if I'm elected
class president,

I'll fight to make sure
we have a cleaner school.

Maya!

You said you wanted
them everywhere,
didn't you?

Don't worry.
We're gonna
clean up,

and tomorrow,
we'll be ready!

Maya: we need
one cookie
for every vote!

So, we're gonna
have to pick up
the pace here!

¡Rapido! ¡Rapido!
¡Rapido!

Ok, tito.

Mix in the nuts,
please!

Si, maya.

Nuts now!

Tito! No!

Awk! Birdseed.

That's birdseed!

Awk! Birdseed! Birdseed!

How's it going?

Everything's
under control!

Heh heh heh. Sort of.

Ok, paco,
one more time!

Maggie
for president!

¡Maggie
para presidenta!

Vote maggie!

¡Vote por maggie!

Ok, paco?

Paco for president!
Vote paco!

No!

Maggie!

¡No vote por maggie!

¡No vote
por maggie!

No bird treats
for paco!

Awk! Maggie
for president!

¡Maggie para presidenta!

Vote maggie!

¡Vote por maggie!

I knew you'd
see it my way!

So it's a deal?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you won't regret this.

Thank you!

Awk! Vote for maggie!

¡Vote por maggie!

Makeovers from maggie!
Makeovers from maggie!

Are you sure this
is the best way
to get votes?

Can't hurt!

Maggie, you have
a light in you

that needs to shine bright
for all to see.

Look. Simon's
talking to people.

Action, not words,
maggie.

Instead of telling voters
what you'll do for them,

why don't you show them?

Makeovers from maggie!

Rebecca, you look like
you want a makeover!

Uh, I'm not sure.

A maggie makeover!

What she can do
for you,

she can do for
the whole school.

Actually,
I wanted to ask--

no need to ask, rebecca!

Maggie to the rescue!

How about
your hair?

My hair? My hair's ok.

Just ok?

When I'm done,
you'll love it!

Gel!

Gel!

Simon: my fellow
students,

if I'm elected
class president...

They sure seem
to like what
he's saying.

He's not saying
anything.

He's just listening.

How does he expect
to get any votes
that way?

Show him what you can do,
how creative you are!

You know, I came
over here to find out

why you think I should
vote for you, maggie.

Why should you vote
for maggie?

Vote for her if you
want better pencils!

Paco: awk!
Vote for pencils!

¡Vote por los lapices!

Maya: and paper!

Awk! Vote for paper!

¡Vote por el papel!

And big hair!

Awk! Vote for--huh?

Big hair?

Please. Don't break
maggie's concentration.

Hair dryer!

Hair dryer!

Kids: simon for president!

Simon for president!

Awk! Simon for president!
Simon for president!

Maya: paco,
it's maggie!

Awk! Stop maggie!
Stop maggie!

Kids: simon for president!
Simon for president!

Simon for president!

[squawks]

fashion hurts!

I think you're done.

Aah!

Oops. Heh heh!

You, uh, really know
how to excite the voters.

Si--for--ohh.

Today's lunch,
which is 100%
vegetarian

with no meat
by-products...

[groaning]

and your newly
decorated lunchroom

have been brought
to you

by maggie
for president!

Bon appetit!

Good eating. Enjoy.

[cheering]

how do you like your
soy meatless meatballs?

Tastes like chalk.

I don't think
they like my lunch.

The cookies.

Uh, uh, andy, hand
out the cookies!

Hey, maya!
Why is there
birdseed

in these cookies?

Birdseed? I brought
the birdseed cookies!

Oh, no!

[paco squawks]

paco!

Aah! Wild bird!
Wild bird! Help!

Paco!

Paco: vote for cookies!

Miguel: paco!

Miguel!

Cookie!

Help!

[crash]

this wasn't exactly
the look we were
going for.

My fellow students,
you need a clean lunchroom.

If I'm elected,

I'll clean it up!

A picture is worth
a thousand words.

Maybe you should work
on your sashays.

Ha ha! Just in case.

How am I doing?

How are you doing?

Great!

Um, you've got lots
of friends,

and maybe that'll do it.

Maggie: thanks, maya.

See you later.

Bye!

What are you doing?

Uh-oh.

What? Oh, I thought
this was maggie's rally!

Yeah!

Look, maya.
Simon really listens
to other people,

and he cares
about what they're
going through.

Yeah, and maggie's
only running because
of school assembly day.

Ah, school assembly day,

when the entire school
will be assembled
to watch maggie.

Oh. Ha ha ha!

Oh, yeah.
And you, dance.

Maya's got a point.

Maggie's our friend,
and she needs our help!

And I need your help
if I don't want to make
a fool of myself.

Ok, ok! What do you
want us to do?

Ok. We've got to stick
to the issues

and be ready
for tomorrow's debate.

Ok, ok. Just shake
yesterday off.

Just shake it off!

Class! Settle down!

It's time for our
two candidates
for class president

to answer
the debate question:

why should we
vote for you?

Uh, sure.

First of all, I just want
to thank you all

for welcoming me
into your classroom,

your cubbyholes,
and your playground forts.

I've spent the last few days

listening
to all your concerns.

Rebecca, I know how hard
it was for you

when your house of cards
was destroyed during recess...

And you, mrs. Langley.

You worked so hard
to share with us

the importance
of democracy,

and we didn't want
to participate.

The truth is, if maggie
hadn't been unhappy

about sharing her solo
for school assembly day,

she wouldn't have
run for president,

and then I wouldn't have
anyone to run against.

So thanks, maggie.

I don't know why
you should vote for me,

but I do know that
you deserve a choice.

I learned things about you
I never knew before.

I'm glad you let me listen.

If you vote for me,
I'll try and help you
the best I can.

Very nice, simon.

Maggie?

Uh, you may be wondering
why you should vote for me.

Well, I'm not sure I know--

♪ Not sure what to wear ♪

♪ And your pants
are too saggy? ♪

♪ Just take your problems
to president maggie ♪

♪ Maggie! Maggie!
¡La presidenta, maggie! ♪

Vote! Maggie! Maggie, yeah!

Maggie: hey. Wait...

Thanks, you guys.

I'm really lucky to have
such good friends,

but I don't deserve
to win this election.

I didn't listen
to any of you!

I didn't know rebecca lost
her house of cards

or that hector was
in a sticky situation.

Simon paid attention
to everything.

He even knew that I ran
for president

just so I could
make some changes
to school assembly day.

I have no idea why
simon ran for president.

He might have told me,
but I didn't listen.

But I do know that we deserve
simon as our president!

So vote for simon!

Kids: simon! Simon! Simon!

Simon! Simon! Simon!

The unanimous winner is...

Simon!

As my first act
in office,

I'd like to
appoint maggie

as head of school
assembly day!

What?

Miguel: wow!

Phew!

I heard what you said,
and I know how you feel.

Besides, you're
the best person
for the job!

Simon, you are
definitely

the best person to
be class president.

I'm glad
I voted for you.

Maya: like mrs. Langley said,

democracy means you get to vote

for the person you think
would do the best job,

and miguel absolutely,
no doubt about it, definitely

is not the best person
for the dancing job.
