-Guys, I heard the funniest joke today.


-So the guy…

-[all] Huh?

[clears throat] Uh… Karma!
Oh, my gosh! You're really her!
You're Karma Grant.
The Karma Grant.
[chuckles] That's me. Can I help you?
Keys, you said you'd tell her.

All right, all right.

Karma, this is Neha.


She's in my class,

and she has a lot to say.

And I'm your biggest fan.
I have fans?

Ya-ha! I'm the president of your fan club,

the Karma Charmas.

Wow! How many members does it have?
Well, it's just me for now,
btu soon it'll be thousands.
Uh, like, probably millions!
Can't be much of a Karma fan club,

if it doesn't have Karma's first fan

as a member.

Sorry, Winston, to be a Charma,

you have to beat

the Karma Charma Challenge.

But if you do, you get one of these.
[Neha] A Karma Charma pin.
Whoa!
I have this podcast called with Neha
where I interview musicians.

-Hm.

-Would you… come on my show


and answer some questions

about your music?

Sure. Anything for a fan.

[gasps] Yay!

questions with Karma Grant!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Uh, did she say questions?

Here we are on the stoop

where Karma sits and thinks sometimes.


-Ooh!

-[camera shutter clicks]

And for even more Karma facts,

you can buy our premium package

for the low, low price

of one bag of pickle chips.
[whimpers, barks]
[camera shutter clicks]

-[Neha gasps]

-Hey, Neha.

Hi, Karma.
[gasps] Look! We have such cool jackets!
Cool-jacket twins!
Uh… they are pretty cool, aren't they?

Well, I'm helping Lady K

at the studio today, so…


I can walk with you and we can get started

on some of these questions.

Uh, whoa, sure.
[grunts] Question one.

How did it feel to save

the community garden with music?


Oh, it felt really great, especially

'cause I got to sing with my mom.


Follow-up: When was the first time

you sang with your mom?

Well, I started when I--

Ooh! Follow, follow-up:

Did you ever think that…?


-…nineteen. How did you…?

-Well, I better get downstairs.

[chuckles] Bye, Neha.
Wait, Karma, before you go,
can I have your autograph?

-Uh…

-[phone trills]

Oh, an autograph?
Of course.

-And here.

-Oh, hey, Lady K.


-And there.

-I didn't see you there.


I'm busy signing autographs

for my fan, Neha.


-Nice to meet you, Neha.

-Hello.

Did you want me to sign anything?

[Neha] Nah, that's OK.

And there. And there. Oh, and there.

All right. Gotta go.
Wait, Karma!
Can you answer some more questions later?
Oh, right. More questions.
Just numbers through .

-Sure. See ya.

-[chuckles]

Bye, Lady K.

-[Winston] Two, three--

-Uh, Winnie?

Oh, hey, Karma. Hoo.

Just about to do

the Karma Charma Challenge.

That pin is mine!
We'll see about that!

Do the Full-Out Dance Team's

signature moves,

while reciting ten facts about Karma!

One: Karma was

our class president for a week.


Two: The secret ingredient

in Karma's dad's barbecue sauce

is love, I think?

Three… Karma almost changed

her name to, uh, Vincent.

Four, five, six. [sighs]
[gasps] Did I do it?
Did I get the pin?
Sorry, Winston. Not enough facts.

-No!

-It's OK, Win.

Let's go play basketball.

Whoo!

I'll come with to ask more questions!


Question : In your song

about Major being a hero,

you mentioned him being smelly.

-Can you confirm?

-Uh, yeah.

Question …
[Karma chuckles]

-Huh! Whoa!

-Question .


-Question .

-[screams]


-Huh?

-Question !

Question, question, question, question…

So, Karma, are you free

to do Neha's lightning round

tonight at the community center?
[sighs] Sure, Neha.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Whoo!

Um, do we have

a math-slash-gym test tomorrow?


No, I'm training

to redo the Karma Challenge.


[Winston] Do you have any allergies?

And do you like birds?


-What about lizards?

-Oh, no more questions, Winnie.


I've been answering them non-stop

for Neha all day!


I know I said

I'd answer all her questions,


but I wish I could get a break

from my biggest fan.

Sorry I'm late.
No worries. Let's start.

-[microphone beeps]

-Welcome back to with Neha.


Karma, are you ready

for Neha's Super Speed Lightning round?


-I guess.

-Answer as fast as you can.


Question :

MC Grillz or Nelly Partridge?

Um, I like them both.
Oh. OK.
Question : Purple scones or--
What was that?
Sorry. Hungry. Hm-mm.
Purple scones or…?

-Mmm.

-Or barbecue chips.

Oh, do you want some?
No, thank you!
Question …
Hey, Karma, wanna play foosball?

Uh… Hey, I'm just gonna

take a quick break.


-Hey, guys, wait up.

-We still need to finish the questions.

Uh, Karma, who's that?

Just some little kid

who's been following me around all day.

But I'm down to play.

-[indistinct chatter]

-[laughter]

[sighs]
See you later.
Huh. I guess she ran out of questions.
Oh. Hey, Neha.
So, where'd you go last night?

You didn't wanna answer my questions,

so I bounced.


-Oh, I--

-I just wished you told me.

I could have interviewed someone else.

[sighs] But I'd already answered

your questions all day.


I know. I'm just some little kid

following you around, right?


-No, that's not what I--

-Look, I cam 'cause I need to tell you.


I don't wanna be president

of the Karma Charmas anymore.

So I won't need this! Hm!

-Huh?

-Wait.


I'm offering a great deal

on embarrassing Karma baby photos!

[sighs]
I really messed up with Neha.

[raps]
♪ I don't know who that is

but she looks like me ♪


♪ So big and heroic, could I be? ♪


♪ All these expectations

of what should I be ♪


♪ A great leader to my fans, would I be? ♪


♪ I'm just doing my own thing

and I love to write ♪


♪ Never knew that I could touch

another person's life ♪


♪ Never wanted to be anybody's hero ♪


♪ But it sure beats feeling like a zero ♪

[Lady K] Karma? Karma!

[chuckles] Practicing your autograph

for your fan?


I don't think

she wants my autograph anymore.

[sighs]

Neha was disappointed 'cause I didn't

really take her interview seriously.

I feel bad for letting her down,
but she was kinda getting on my nerves.
So what happened?
She totally changed.
She used to be happy and excited.
Now, she sounds like me
when I blew off her questions.

Oh, she was copying

all the things I said to her.


You have people listening

to your voice now, Karma.

Some of them are gonna look up to you.
But I didn't ask her to look up--
You might not always wanna be their hero,

but you can always choose

to be someone you admire.

So, who do you wanna be?

The kind of person

who helps inspire other kids.

[sighs] And I definitely didn't do that.

You know, I don't admire

the Karma I was last night,

but I think I can fix that.
Um, hi, Neha.
What do you want, Karma?
[sighs] I'm really, really sorry
about how I acted yesterday.

You took the time

to ask me about my music,


and I didn't give you

that same respect back.

[sniffles] It wasn't very nice.
I know, but if you'll let me,
I wanna make it up to you.
I'm performing a new song,

and I want my biggest fan on stage

to sing it with me.

[gasps] Wow! Really?
That would be my dream!

Ugh! And I don't wanna eat

any more barbecue chips!

[chuckling]
Check it out, Hansberry.
It's with Neha.
My guest today,

-the one and only Karma Grant.
