miguel: this is my twin sister maya.

I have a story about maya.

Lots of stories, actually...

Like the time she decided that math lessons in school

were getting too boring...

Or the time she decided that having a convertible

would make our papi feel young again.

[thunder]

anyway, this story is about the time

maya decided to play matchmaker.

Look! Ta-da!

Paco: !¡Ay!

Ha ha ha!

Nobody tell miguel where I'm hiding.

[squawk]

!¡Oye!

Don't tell him I'm behind the sofa.

I won't.

♪ Come out, come out, wherever you are ♪

Where did tito hide?

[squawks] don't tell where tito's hiding.

Oh, man!

Oh, no. Maya, I know that look.

So whatever plan you're cooking up...Don't.

I can't.

Try, please?!

It's too important.

Miguel, look around the room.

Do you notice something horribly wrong?

I'm standing here talking to you

instead of playing "hide and seek" with tito.

All the adults have someone special except abuelita.

Papi has mama and tio ernesto has tia teresa.

So?

So? Can't you see how lonely and sad abuelita is?

Do you need glasses?

How many fingers do I have up?

My eyes are fine.

It's abuelita's corazOÓn, her heart,

I'm worried about.

She is only pretending to be happy.

She's good.

Yo se. I know.

Look, maya, abuelita's fine.

Not every adult needs someone special.

Our neighbor, seÑora donella, is single

and she's not lonely and sad.

Well, that's because she always goes out on dates.

[gasp]

!¡Eso es! We need to help abuelita get a date!

Time out. Flag on the play.

Don't worry. It'll be fun. I promise.

That's what you said the last time you had a plan,

but I ended up pulling cactus needles out of my--

ha ha ha!

Oh, yeah. That was so fun.

Sorry. So, what do you say? Will you help?

Hey, where do you think you're going?

Lejos, far away.

!¡Vamos a ver! We'll see about that!

Miguel!

Paco: don't tell where tito's hiding!

Aah!

!¡Animales! Animals!

Miguel, are you in?

¿QuiEÉn quiere flan?

Boo-yeah!

Agh! Aw, miguel!

Oh, man, I'm sorry, maya.

I couldn't contain my flan-thusiasm.

Ha ha ha! You look kind of funny.

Oh, yeah, ha ha.

I know what that means. Me veo fea.

Ay, you could never be ugly, mijita.

Besides, true belleza,

true beauty, comes from within.

Gracias, abuelita. You always know what to say.

Unlike some people.

I said I'm sorry.

I know just how you can make it up to me,

mi hermanito-- my twin brother.

Maya, please. Remember what happened

last time you tried to help someone get a date?

[squawking]

[screeching]

it's true that paco was almost eaten by his girlfriend,

but I still think they might have worked things out.

Eagles. !¡Ay yi yi!

The point is, if abuela wanted someone,

she'd go and find someone herself.

Miguel, she only thinks about others, never about herself.

Maya, no one on the planet but you

could think this is a good idea.

I love the idea!

So romantic!

So cheesy.

That's what I said.

times to las tres amigas.

Are we playing soccer or what?

Wait!

So close...

...And yet so far.

Do you mean to tell me

soccer is more important than finding my abuelita a date?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

You got it.

Maya, maybe you're asking the wrong people.

Of course. I need to go

where the eligible bachelors hang out.

¿Donde estan los solteros?

I'd love to buy some of your cookies.

Hey, do you have any of those mint--

we're not selling cookies.

We're taking applications.

Please fill this out completely, sign and date it.

Don't forget to include references.

What am I applying for?

A date with my abuela elena.

Hey!

Move along, please.

Pase usted, por favor. Pase, pase, pase.

They're all too young, too old, or too...Ick.

At this rate, we'll never find your abuela a date.

Never say never!

I will not rest until my abuelita isn't lonely anymore.

How do you know she's lonely now?

I just do.

Mira, maya, yo te conozco. I know you--

!¡SeÑor felipe! !¡SeÑor felipe!

Buenas tardes, miguel.

Buenas tardes.

Do you have anything for me?

Hmm...Not unless you were expecting bills.

Sorry, miguelito.

When is it going to get here already?

When is what going to get here?

The astropack I ordered.

What are you going to do with an astropack?

Fly around town!

I'll never have to walk to school again.

Enough distractions, miguel.

We have to find abuelita a--

--date.

Buenas tardes, seÑora elena. ¿Que bonito dia, no?

Buenas tardes, seÑor felipe.

It is a beautiful day, yes?

Uh-oh, you've got that gleam in your eye,

which means I'm going to be dragged

into one of your schemes.

There he was, in front of us all the time.

!¡El cartero! The perfect date for abuelita!

Maya, the mailman?

He's perfect.

Abuela elena just loves a man in uniform.

No, she doesn't. You just made that up.

Now what we have to do

is get them to fall in love with each other.

¿QuEÉ?

please, maya. What if abuela doesn't want

to go on a date with the mailman?

But she will. It's perfect.

I'm just suggesting that we think it over.

Miguel, please. Less thinking, more doing.

[door opens]

hey, miguel, you in here?

Pasen.

We're just planning out abuela elena's date.

Right.

Uh, I don't think so.

Less thinking, more doing.

All right.

What's the plan?

Well, I was thinking we could get them to show up

at the same place at the same time.

Why not right here? SeÑor felipe delivers the mail every day.

You won't even have to do anything.

No, we need someplace more romantic.

Algo mAÁs romantico.

Like the community center!

Oh, man.

The community center? That's the opposite of romantic.

Theo, where's your imagination, your creativity, your vision?

Think about music, lighting, special effects to set the mood.

The room must be transformed into a romantic paradise!

Who's going to do that?

Aw, man.

Could you and andy please,

please make the place beautiful?

Miguel and I will get them there

by : tomorrow.

How?

Remind me again why I'm helping you.

I'm your sister and you love me.

No, that's not--

shh!

Oh, one last thing.

Please slip this package into seÑor felipe's bag.

Otherwise the plan will fail.

No, maya, I'm not sneaking something

into felipe's bag. No way.

Señor felipe: hola, miguel.

Hola, seÑor felipe.

Do you have any packages for me?

Sorry. Not today.

Hola, seÑor felipe.

Gee, miguel was just telling me he would like nothing more

than to spend the day following you on your route.

Really, miguel?

I would love to have your company.

Ok. Well, I've got to go.

Don't forget about the you-know-what, miguel.

I'll see you later.

So, miguel, why is it that you want

to spend the day with me on my route?

Er...Um...Well... The thing is...

I'm thinking I might want to be a mailman when I grow up.

¿Pero cOÓmo?

Yes. It seems like such an...

An exciting profession.

You are very perceptive, miguelito.

Well, I'm about to go back

to sort the mail at the post office right now.

Would you like to come?

Sure. Uh, sounds great.

Ok, theo and andy are fixing up the community center.

Miguel's got the secret package,

and it's up to us to help abuelita get ready.

You think she needs our help?

Of course! Her last date was back in mexico

when she was a teenager and had a chaperone.

She needs new clothes, new hair,

a whole new look.

You mean...

All: makeover!

Oh, it'll be so much fun!

The thing is, we have to make it a surprise.

[truck horn]

all done, miguelito.

Time for the afternoon route.

Here, put these on. Just to be safe.

[whispering] my abuelita's bedroom

is over there. Follow me.

[loudly] ok.

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!

[whispering] sorry.

Stop!

El pollo no. I'll take two pounds of meat instead.

She was just talking in her sleep.

Come on, let's hurry.

[gasp]

oh, no!

Whew!

¿Eh? QuEÉ estAÁ pasando?

Am I still dreaming?

Yes.

Bueno.

Whew!

Stay alert, miguelito.

We are in toro's neighborhood.

Who's toro?

[growling]

now, carefully, carefully...

Toro cannot resist the coat.

[stops growling]

señor felipe: almost there...

Now run!

[barking]

[screams]

shh! Shh! Shh!

What's wrong?

Look at her clothes!

How am I supposed to mix and match?

I'm a fashionista, not a magician.

Great. Now what are we going to do?

Ok, think, maya.

!¡Eso es!

We'll make a dress!

Yes!

[whispering] am I the only one

who thinks that this is a bad idea?

Yes! Now what's her height?

'", give or take a toenail.

Ok, roll her over.

I need to measure her waist.

Ugh...Agh...

Try rocking her slowly. Gently...

Good...Good...

A little more. A little--

oopsie!

Ok, that's enough.

It's ok, it's ok, abuelita.

I think you just had a nightmare.

What are you girls doing here?

Uh, well, see... Ha ha!

It's like this...

We're measuring you for a special

yet secret dress.

Yeah, yeah. That's good.

¿PorquEÉ?

Why?

Why? Why?

Because you're so special,

you deserve a special dress.

Ay, mis hijas. You're so thoughtful.

But you don't have to go through all that trouble.

I have plenty of pretty dresses in my closet.

We don't think--oop!

Ow! I mean, of course you do.

But we'd like to make you

another pretty dress anyway.

For chinese new year! Right, maggie?

Uh...Right. It's the year of the dress.

Hmm, bueno.

Yes!

Of course,

when we're done with your special dress,

you'll need special hair and make-up, too.

Yeah! You're going to look so beautiful.

Gracias, but you know true belleza,

true beauty, comes from within.

Exactly, abuelita.

Now please lift your arms for me?

A mailman's life is full of excitement, eh, miguelito?

It really is, seÑor felipe.

So, did you always--

hey, is that a flying donkey?

Eh? I don't see anything.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's just a bird.

Well, we'd better keep moving.

It's getting late.

What's next?

Hmm...I don't remember sorting this package.

It's addressed to...

"mi corazOÓn" at the community center.

No name, no street. Can you imagine what would happen

if this fell into some rookie's hands

who didn't know the neighborhood?

Good thing you're delivering it, seÑor felipe.

We'd better get it to the community center fast.

I see you are a true mailman at heart. !¡Vamonos!

[coughing]

perfecto.

Drum roll, please.

Let me introduce you to the beautiful new abuela elena.

Both: wow.

!¡Ay!

I know. Isn't it exciting?

I'm happy we went for the more natural look.

Abuelita, te ves tan bonita. Do you feel beautiful?

I feel a lot of things right now.

Yes! Yes!

[phone rings]

I'll get it! Hello?

!¡Ay!

Oh, no! We'll be there right away!

Abuelita, we have to get

to the community center right now!

¿Que pasa, mija?

It's so urgent

that I don't have time to tell you!

¿Hola? Hello?

Is anybody here?

I'm trying to deliver a package.

Who's...Who's there?

[bolero music]

I'm trying to deliver a package to "mi corazOÓn."

Is that...Musica?

Señor felipe: hello?

Abuelita, you have to go in there right away.

What is it, mija? Is something wrong?

No, no, abuelita. I just have a feeling this is important.

Abuela elena: hola.

¿Mi corazOÓn? Is this for you?

Eh?

Mi corazOÓn, le traigo esto.

I brought this for you...

You think this will work?

Shh, shh, shh, shh! Don't ruin the moment!

For...Me?

You tell me. Isn't that what it says?

"mi corazOÓn."

!¡Ay, seÑor felipe! How sweet!

!¡Ay! Mis chocolates favoritos.

I don't know what to say. Thank you!

Oh, you don't need to thank me.

I'm just doing my job.

I'm just glad I found you.

¿Ay, seÑor felipe, gusta chocolates?

Gracias.

¿SeÑora elena? Is that you?

Por supuesto, seÑor. Who else would it be?

I didn't even recognize you.

Un dIÍa confuso.

First miguel says he wants to be a mail carrier

and asks to follow me around.

Miguel?

Then there's a strange package

addressed to "mi corazOÓn"...

Both: uh-oh!

No, no! Stop! No! No!

It's maya. You think she wants us to, uh...

Let's do it.

Then I bring the package here,

even though it didn't have a zip code,

and I find you.

[very loud music]

!¡Ay!

What's going on?

I'm not sure, but I have an idea.

!¡Nietos!

[music stops]

miguel: uh-oh.

I knew it.

What were you trying to do?

Let me start by saying this wasn't my idea.

He's right.

Mija, I don't understand.

Why did you do all this,

and dress me like this?

So you would look nice for your date.

Both: date?!

Once again, I'd like to make it absolutely clear

that this wasn't my idea.

I wanted to set you up on a date.

¿Pero porque?

All the other adults in our family

have someone special except you.

I didn't want you to be lonely anymore.

I was worried about your heart.

My heart? Mijita, escuchame.

I've never felt happier.

¿De veras?

Really.

And you never have to trick me

into taking seÑora elena out on a date.

It would be my pleasure.

Really?

Of course. My favorite part of every day

is delivering your mail.

You have the most amazing smile,

and a beautiful personality.

Maybe that's because true beauty

isn't about what's on the outside.

True belleza, true beauty, comes from within.

Eso es, mija.

[doorbell]

I got it! !¡Ya llego!

Hola, miguelito.

Buenas tardes, seÑor felipe.

Finally! My astropack! I can't wait to fly--

uh, are you sure this is it?

Positive.

This isn't big enough to be my astropack.

How am I supposed to fly with this?!

You thought you could fly over the city with a piece of rubber?

It was supposed to be a new technology.

Miguel. What am I going to do with you?

Everyone knows that an astropack needs to be made of titanium.

In fact, tengo una idea.

No, no, no, no! No ideas!

I promise, this will work!

Come back! Soon you'll be soaring with the eagles!

Miguel: I'm not listening! La la la la!

Eagles. Oh, no.

Miguel, voice-over: my astropack might have

been a disappointment,

but maya's plan was a success.

Abuela elena and seÑor felipe

have been going dancing every week.

And I learned that being a mailman

can be pretty exciting.

But most importantly, I learned that

even though maya isn't exactly like other sisters,

I think that I'll keep her.

At least for now...
