Ha! Ha-Ha!

Oh yeah!

Safina: Nice!

Rafia: Wow!

Alma: Am I good or what?

Break it down!

Oh yeah!

Safina: I don't even know how you even do that, Alma!

Rafia: I can't believe I'm saying this but...

You're the World's Greatest Hopscotcher!

Alma: Thanks!

I mean, I am pretty good.

[text message blings]

Safina: Oh! We gotta go, Rafia.

Safina: Later, Alma! Rafia: Bye!

Alma: Bye!

See ya!

Ah!

[giggles] Hi, Emi!

Emi: Alma!

You really are the World's Greatest Hopscotcher.

And I have questions...

How do you spin like that?

How do you balance so long?

Why don't they call it jumpscotch?

Alma: Well...

Emi: And how do you do that thing that goes...

Ooo! Ooo! Ah! Mm!

Alma: Ooo, I like that move!

Emi: No, wait. That's not it.

Alma: Do you mean this one?

Emi: Woohoo!

Yes!

Yeah. I could never do that.

Alma: But I loved all your hopscotch moves!

And you can even do it with Manchas on your head.

I've never seen anyone do that before.

Emi: But no one's better than you.

You're way, way, way, AH-MAY-ZING!

That's how you say it, right?

Alma: Uh-huh. [giggles]

Emi: You're the coolest person I know.

I want to be just like you, Alma.

[gasp] Can you teach me to be you?

Alma: For real? You wanna be me?

Emi: Please? We could be the Two Almas!

Alma: Hmm... I do like the sound of that.

And what's better than one Alma?

Two Almas!

That's a sa-weet idea! I'm in!

Emi: Yes! Awesome!

I mean... sa-weet!

Alma: Get ready to be me!

Junior: Dino Tea Time!

With our favorite peppermint tea.

Alma: [clears throat]

Ladies and gentlemen. Kids and dinos.

Presenting... [air trumpet]

The Almas!

Junior: [slurp]

Alma: [drumroll]

Emi: Close your eyes

and guess which Alma's talking.

Alma: Am I good or what?
