ALMA: "Alma's New Kicks"
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Hmm. Not here...

Where could they be?
Ugh, So, I'm going to the park to play soccer,
but I can't find my...
JUNIOR: Soccer cleats! Soccer cleats!
ALMA: There they are.
JUNIOR: Look! They fit!
Whoa!
ALMA: [gasp] [effort] Caught it!
JUNIOR: Well, they almost fit.
ALMA: Don't worry, Junior.
When Eddie gave me these cleats,
they were a little big on me too.
But now they're...
[efforts]
JUNIOR: What's wrong?
ALMA: They're just a little [effort] tight...
Whoaaa...
ALMA: There! Thanks Junior.
ALMA: Phew! Ouch.
I don't think they fit either of us right now.
MAMI: Aw, I think my girl's growing!
I gotcha covered...
ALMA: Mami always knows exactly what I need.
MAMI: Ta-da!
Check these out.
KIDS: Whoa! Chévere!
ALMA: These are... Ahhh-maaaaazing.
MAMI: Well, don't just stare at them.
Try them on!
[chuckle]
ALMA: [effort]
Ahhh! They're soooo comfy!
I love them.
Gracias, Mami!
MAMI: De nada, mi amour!
JUNIOR: [giggles]
Look, Chacho likes them too.
[Chacho growling]
ALMA: Chacho! Nooo!
ALMA: Careful, boy. You'll ruin them.
MAMI: [chuckles] How 'bout you take 'em for a spin at the park?
Vamos!
ALMA: Oh yeah! Oh-Oh-Oh yeah-yeeaaah!
Oh yeah! Oh-Oh-Oh yeah-yeeaaah!
These feel way way wayyy good!
RAFIA: Alma! Heads up!
ALMA: [gasp]
RAFIA: Heeey. No hands in soccer.
ALMA: I know.
But that ball is dirty...
and I don't want to get my new shoes dirty.
See?
RAFIA: No way!
I have the same ones!
Look!
RAFIA: Shoe twins!
ALMA: Uh... are you sure?
They look different.
RAFIA: Yep.
It's 'cause I've played a ton in mine.
They're awesome, right?
ALMA: Totally.
[bicycle bell rings] LUCAS: Alma! Rafia!
Coming through!
RAFIA: Hey Lucas!
KIDS: Whoa! Hey!
LUCAS: Sorry!
See you at the park!
ALMA: [gasp]
Whoa, that was close!!
MAMI: To the park!
JUNIOR: Soccer time!
RAFIA: Yeah, c'mon, we can b*at 'em there!
ALMA: Uh... hold on...
be right back.
ALMA: I can't ruin my new cleats, right?
ALMA: [efforts]
Okay, I switched my shoes.
[groans] Ouch! Let's go!
ALMA: Okay, I'm ready!
RAFIA: Hey! What happened to your new cleats?
ALMA: Got 'em right here.
Safe and spotless.
RAFIA: Uh...
Okay.
Let's catch up to the others.
ALMA: Owie! Owie!
RAFIA: Okay, so it's me, Alma and Eddie.
LUCAS: Against André, Becka and me.
May the best team win.
RAFIA: Oh, we will.
JUNIOR: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Go, Alma and Alma's team!
MAMI: Ya know hijito, you can play too, if you want.
JUNIOR: No, thanks. I'm the coach.
Alma and her team need me.
JUNIOR: Game on!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Yow, yow, yow, yow...
Yow!!!
EDDIE: You okay, Alma?
ALMA: I'll be fine.
Ouch, that really hurt my toes.
ALMA: Eddie! Take it!
Oh, whooops!
[♪♪♪]
RAFIA: [effort]
JUNIOR: Woo-hoo! Great save, Rafia!
[gasp] Rafia, pass it to Alma!
She's open!
RAFIA: [effort]
ALMA: [effort] Owie!
Eddie!
[♪♪♪]
RAFIA: [efforts]
KIDS: [cheers] Gooaaalll!
JUNIOR: That's okay, team!
Alma will get the next one. Right, Alma?
ALMA: Uh... water break?
KIDS: Nice! Oh yeah! Woo-hoo!!
ALMA: Ahhh. My toes needed a break.
EDDIE: Oh hey! I remember those cleats.
But uh, I think they work better when they're on your feet.
ALMA: Yeah, I know.
But now they hurt every time I kick the ball.
JUNIOR: Don't worry, Alma.
I got your new shoes right here...
JUNIOR: Whoa! Whoops!
ALMA: [gasp] Ahhhhh!
ALMA: Whoa.
EDDIE: New shoes?
ALMA: Yeah! I got 'em today.
ALMA: See! EDDIE: [gasp]
Aren't they just ah-maaazing?
EDDIE: Nice.
But, why aren't you wearing them?!
ALMA: Well, they're so new,
and our soccer field is so... dirty.
EDDIE: But they're cleats!
That's what they're made for!
JUNIOR: Yeah!
Wear 'em, Alma.
Let's goooo!
ALMA: I know I would play better in my new cleats.
But... [sigh] They're sooo new!
[gasp] Ohh-kay.
I can do this.
I just have to be extra careful and stay away from the dirt!
ALMA: Ahhh...
They're sooo comfy!
RAFIA: Alma! Come and play!
ANDRÉ: Ready, Alma?
ALMA: Ready!
JUNIOR: Alma's wearing her new shoes.
Now her team can never lose!
Go, Alma and Alma's team!
ALMA: I got it!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: These shoes are saaa-weeet!!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: [gasp]
ANDRÉ: What is she doing?
RAFIA: I have no idea.
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Uh oh.
RAFIA: Alma! Pass it to Eddie!
ALMA: [big gulp] If I kick the ball,
my shoes will get all muddy.
ALMA: [effort] [gasp]
ALMA: Ahh! My cleats!
Ah! Ahhhh!
RAFIA: [effort]
KIDS: [cheers] Goaal! Yes! Oh, yeah!
[cheering] We did it!
ALMA: No... no... no. It's not coming off.
RAFIA: What was that?!
You let Lucas steal the ball.
ALMA: Sorry, Rafia.
But my new cleats, they're ruined...
Look at that mark!
RAFIA: Huh? What mark?
ALMA: That one! There!
RAFIA: Thaaaat?! Seriously?!
ALMA: Yeah.
RAFIA: That's not a mark.
It's more like a... a memory.
ALMA: Whaaaat?
RAFIA: See this one?
I got it when I slid and blocked the goal.
And that one?
That's when we played in the rain.
Remember?
ALMA: Ohhh yeeaaah.
My shoes were totally soaked.
RAFIA: You can't play soccer and not get your cleats dirty.
Now are you gonna help us win or what?
ALMA: Rafia's right.
I should be helping my team and not worrying about my cleats.
But I reeeaally don't wanna mess them up.
What do I do?
I gotta think about this.
ALMA: My new cleats are a-ma-zing!
They do feel great on my feet.
I was so worried about getting them dirty,
I didn't even kick the ball.
ALMA: I can't play that way.
RAFIA: That's not a mark.
It's more like a... a memory.
ALMA: Huh.
Rafia doesn't worry about her shoes getting messed up.
She likes them that way.
Oh, I know what to do.
ALMA: Okay. Here we go.
One, two...
ALMA: ...Two and half...
two and three-quarters...
JUNIOR: Kicking, passing, scoring too!
Just don't step on Alma's shoes!
Gooo, Alma and Alma's team!
ALMA: I can do this.
[deep breath] Time to make some memories.
JUNIOR: Yay!
RAFIA: [effort]
KIDS: [cheer] Yeah! JUNIOR: Goooaaallll!
RAFIA: Nice pass, Alma.
ALMA: Great goal! Let's do it again.
ALMA: High five! Yeah! RAFIA: Yeah!
[♪♪♪]
KIDS: [playing efforts]
[♪♪♪]
LUCAS: Out of bounds! That's a throw in!
MAMI: And it's almost lunchtime, so last play of the game.
LUCAS: [effort]
JUNIOR: Ooh, I can't watch!
ALMA: Eddie! I'm open!
KIDS: [efforts]
ALMA: [gasp]
KIDS: Goaallll!
JUNIOR: That's my sister! Woo-hoo!
KIDS: We didn't lose! We didn't lose!
Yay us! Woo-hoo! [cheers] [laughter]
RAFIA: Oh-no! Sorry about your new cleats, Alma.
ALMA: I'm not!
Now I'll never forget these memories.
Right, shoe twin?
RAFIA: You know it.
KIDS: [laugh]
JUNIOR: You were so good, Alma!
Can I have these?
I want to play just like you.
ALMA: They're all yours, Coach.
JUNIOR: Yay!
Woo-hoo!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: "Star Ball"
ALMA: Ahh, today is the perfect day...
to play freeze tag in the park!
MAMI: Vamos, Alma, my meeting is about to start.
Let's go.
ALMA: [sighs] But I gotta go with Mami to her meeting.
Goodbye perfect freeze tag day!
MAMI: [chuckle]
MAMI: Why don't you play with Rafia and André?
My meeting might take awhile.
ALMA: Okay, Mami.
MAMI: Okay, we're ready to start everyone.
ANDRÉ: Hey, Alma. RAFIA: Hi.
ALMA: They don't sound very excited to be here either.
C'mon, let's find something to do.
ANDRÉ: Okay! RAFIA: Sure!
RAFIA: I really wanted to sh**t hoops today.
But there's no basketball hoop in here.
ANDRÉ: I was gonna make an epic chalk drawing.
But there's no sidewalk in here either.
KIDS: [sigh]
ALMA: Hey!
What if we use all this space to play something really big?
Like a ginormous board game!
André, you wanted to draw, right?
Want to draw the game board?
ANDRÉ: Where? I can't draw on the floor.
FRANKIE: Did I hear something 'bout drawing on my floor?
To make a giant board game?
That's a fantastic idea!
I gotchu.
FRANKIE: Check it out! You can draw on this.
KIDS: Thanks, Frankie!
FRANKIE: Have fun kiddos!
ALMA: Let's get started!
ANDRÉ: Now what should our game board look like?
ALMA: Hmmm...
a path with a whole buncha squares?
RAFIA: Yeah! And we can hop from space to space!
ANDRÉ: Let's make 'em outer space spaces!
ANDRÉ: See?
This one's an alien!
ALMA: Sweeet!
And whoever reaches the end of the path first, wins!
RAFIA: Okay!
But, uh, how do we know where to move?
ALMA: Hmm...
Rafia, could we use something from your bag?
RAFIA: Sure!
ALMA: Oh, what if... we use this like a spinner?!
KIDS: Nice! Love it!
ALMA: Oh! One second!
ALMA: Heads up, Rafia!
ALMA: Your thumb's on yellow.
RAFIA: So does that mean I hop to the yellow space?
ALMA: Yep!
ALMA: Yellow!
ALMA: And how 'bout...
if you land on a space with another person,
that person has to freeze for a turn.
Kinda like freeze tag!
ANDRÉ: Great idea, Alma!
ANDRÉ: And what if...
when you land on, a Star...
you get to sh**t a ball into a bin!
RAFIA: Oh, I have a ball!
RAFIA: And if you make the sh*t...
...you zoom ahead three spaces like a sh**ting star!
ALMA: Yeah yeah yeah!
ANDRÉ: More star spaces, coming right up!
RAFIA: André, this looks amazing!
ANDRÉ: Hold up!
It needs one more thing.
ALMA: I don't see how this game could get any better.
ANDRÉ: The floor is...
space lava.
ALMA: It just got better!
If your foot touches the space lava...
RAFIA: You have to go back to the start!
ANDRÉ: That's what I was thinking!
ALMA: What should we call our game?
KIDS: Star Ball!!
ALMA: Now for the intergalactic debut of Star Ball!
André, you're first!
ANDRÉ: Yellow!
Three...
KIDS: ...Two...one...
Blast Off!
RAFIA: Blue!
[♪♪♪]
RAFIA: [gasp]
ALMA: A blue star!
Rafia, are you gonna sink the Star Ball...
or are ya gonna be star dust?
RAFIA: Just watch me!
[effort]
RAFIA: Oh yeah, three spaces! Zoom!
ANDRÉ: This game is awesome!
RAFIA: Totally!
ALMA: Orange!
ALMA: Whoa!
Oh no! The lava's got me!
KIDS: Ahhhhh! Nooo! Aaaaaalma!
ALMA: [laughs]
ANDRÉ: Green.
Sorry, Rafia. You have to freeze for a turn.
RAFIA: Brr! Skip me.
Alma, your turn!
ALMA: Yellow!
ALMA: Ooo, I found a secret passage!
RAFIA: What do you mean?
ALMA: There's a secret passage from that one to this one!
ANDRÉ: Huh? There wasn't a secret passage...
when I landed there.
ALMA: Oh well, it can be a new rule from now on.
I didn't see the chair before.
ANDRÉ: Okay...
RAFIA: Blue!
ALMA: Uh-oh. My thumb's on orange and green.
What do I do?
[gasp] I know!
I can go to an orange space and a green space!
Woo-hoo!
RAFIA: But, Alma...
that rule puts you way ahead of us.
ALMA: I'm lucky, right?
Maybe you'll catch it on two colors too!
ANDRÉ: Nope, just one...
ALMA: Whoops! You stepped in lava Rafia!
ALMA: What's up with Rafia?
She doesn't look like she's having fun anymore.
ALMA: Hey, André! Think fast!
ANDRÉ: Oh, uh, sure.
ALMA: Huh.
They're not really excited about playing anymore.
Maybe it's 'cause I'm winning?
ALMA: Oh! Star Ball!
Gooo, André!
ALMA: Blast ahead, sh**ting star!
ANDRÉ: But, Alma... I missed.
ALMA: You hit the rim.
It counts!
ANDRÉ: When did we decide that?
ALMA: Uh... just now?
ANDRÉ: [sigh]
RAFIA: Oops. Back to Start.
ALMA: Uh... you don't have to go to Start...
'cause you have... uh...
lava proof shoes. Yeah!
ANDRÉ: Another new rule?
RAFIA: Let's just play a game we know all the rules to.
ANDRÉ: Yeah, I think I need a break from Star Ball.
ALMA: What? Don't you want to keep playing?
ANDRÉ: Nahhh.
ALMA: I don't get it!
Rafia and André seem really annoyed.
But why?
I gotta think about this.
ANDRÉ: This game is awesome!
RAFIA: Totally!
ALMA: Hmm, they were having fun...
when we started playing Star Ball....
ALMA: There's a secret passage from that one to this one...
ANDRÉ: Huh? There wasn't a secret passage...
when I landed there.
ALMA: I mean, I did change some of the rules,
but I was just trying to make it more fun.
ALMA: Cause you have... uhhh... lava proof shoes.
Yeah!
ALMA: I even changed the rules to help them!
But they didn't like that either.
ANDRÉ: Another new rule?
RAFIA: Let's just play a game we know all the rules to.
ALMA: Oh, they looked really frustrated.
Okay! I know what to do!
ALMA: André, Rafia, I'm sorry I kept changing the rules.
RAFIA: Yeah, we didn't like that, Alma.
ANDRÉ: Nope.
ALMA: I should've asked first.
We made up Star Ball together,
so we should agree on the rules together.
I mean... if that sounds good to you.
ANDRÉ: Yeah, I like that.
RAFIA: Yeah! Me too, Alma.
ANDRÉ: I like the secret passage.
RAFIA: Yeah! Let's keep that.
ALMA: What should we do if we catch the disc on two colors?
ANDRÉ: How about you get to pick which color you want to go to?
RAFIA: Yeah, but you have to hop there on one foot!
ALMA: I love that!
RAFIA: And when you land on a star,
you have to get the star ball in the basket to zoom ahead.
ALMA: What about the lava proof shoes?
KIDS: No way! [giggles]
ALMA: Ready?
RAFIA: Let's play!
KIDS: Three, two, one....
Blast off!
[♪♪♪]
RAFIA: Woo-hoo!
KIDS: [laugh]
RAFIA: Here André!
FRANKIE: Whoa, you kids out did yourselves.
MAMI: What are you playing?
KIDS: Star Ball!
ANDRÉ: Hmm. Green or blue?
I got this.
Definitely green!
KIDS: Star ball! Star ball! Star ball!
ANDRÉ: Only three spaces to the finish line!
Yeah!
ANDRÉ: One... two... three!
Yes!
RAFIA: Woo-hoo!
André's today's Star Ball champion!
KIDS: [cheer] Yeah! Way to go André!
Great job!
MAMI: Star Ball, huh?!
FRANKIE: Ah.
ANDRÉ: Oh! You stepped in the lava!
RAFIA: Oh no! ALMA: Uh oh! Look out!
MAMI: Whoops.
KIDS: [laugh]
ALMA: You can all play too! But...
you gotta follow the rules.
