Poo-poo.
Hey, it's me, Ronnie Anne!
If you like The Louds, come meet my family!
My mom, my brother, Abuelo, Abuela, Tio Carlos, Tia Frida,
my cousins Carlota, CJ, Carl, and Carlitos,
and our pets, Sergio and Lalo.
We are the Casagrandes!
- Gah, Lalo! What the heck, dude!
- Time for breakfast!
Early bird gets the chilaquiles!
Chilaquiles?
- Andale! Eat, eat!
Morning, Abuela!
You're in a hurry today.
Si, mija!
The apartment upstairs is vacant, and as
building manager it's my job to show it to potential tenants.
And it's my job to help!
- Sweet tool belt, CJ. Is that a new hammer?
It's also a screwdriver!
Ooh.
Morning, Mom!
- Morning, sweetie. Got any plans for the day?
- Yeah, I'm gonna take my board to the park
and work out some new tricks.
- Sounds fun! Remember to wear your--
- C'mon Mom, you don't have to remind me.
I've heard enough of your ER stories to know better.
- Ooh, that reminds me! You won't believe what we
found in a patient's stomach yesterday.
At first we thought it was a hairball, but--
- Ahem! You know we love you, Tia,
but some of us are eating.
Text me the details!
- Oh, thanks for the plate, hun!
Morning, fam!
Better take breakfast to go, Abuela.
I gotta get downstairs to open the mercado.
- Gracias, mijo! What a good grandson,
letting your abuelo relax and enjoy his café.
Thanks, Abuela!
- Wait, Bobby! Your apron!
Thanks, sis!
Wait up, cuz!
You need me to supervise!
- Mine!
Better luck next time, dude.
Yes, Mr. Scully.
I'm going to open up the apartment right now.
I think we're going to get a lot of applicants.
Abuela, your keys!
- Anyway, I'll be sure to have the apartment ready.
- Ahh, and now to finally eat!
Ha!
You are really laying it on thick, aren't you?
Go ahead, I'll grab something on my way to the park.
Just don't tell Abuela! -
- So how's big city life? - Great.
Funny thing, I thought I saw you the other day
but it was just an old dude with white hair.
Heh, yeah, I get that a lot.
Sorry, Ronnie Anne. It's breakfast time.
I gotta go before one of my sisters swipes my bagel.
Smell ya later!
Morning, Bruno!
I'll have the Great Lakes City special.
One dog, dragged through the garden.
- You want a hot dog with the works at 9:00 a.m.?
Yup!
You sure I can't
interest you in a Danish or something?
- Excuse me, could I get one Great Lakes City special?
- See? This girl gets it.
Later, dude!
Ehh.
Ahh, come on!
Yes!
Not gonna lie. I kinda wish someone saw that.
I did!
Oh!
Hope you didn't see me goof it up before.
- No, no, no, no, no! That was sweet!
Can I try?
Sure!
Always happy to share with a fellow skater.
Here, this ramp opened up.
All right, dude. Show me what you got!
Whoa, whoa!
Aaah!
- Quick! Grab on!
Whoa!
Are you okay?
- Not a scratch, thanks to you!
- Um, not to be rude, but have you skated before?
- Nope! But it looked fun.
I've never eaten a hot dog with
all that extra junk on it either,
but I just moved here and I want to try
every new thing I can!
- You're awesome! I'm Ronnie Anne Santiago.
- I'm Sid Chang! Nice to meet you!
- Whoa, look at that little dude.
He's seen better days.
Poor guy.
I still can't believe you didn't grow up here!
- Nope! I'm from Royal Woods.
- Wow, you seemed like such a city kid,
what with the hot dogs for breakfast and all.
- Nah, I only moved here a few months ago
with my brother and my mom to be closer to family.
My mom's an ER nurse at the city hospital.
- Cool! What about your dad?
Unless that's like a sore subject.
My grandma always says I'm too nosy.
- No, no, no, you're good.
My parents are split up, but it's no big.
My dad's a doctor who works with Physicians on Missions.
He's in Peru right now helping set up a new clinic.
- Whoa, is that a ring-tailed lemur?
Yeah, how'd you know?
- My mom brought one home from work once.
She's a zoologist.
Here! That's her.
And that's my dad, who's a subway conductor,
and my sister Adelaide, who's, like,
a professional little sass bucket.
Crud, that's my mom.
I gotta go meet back up with them.
- I should probably get going, too.
But maybe we should, you know...
- Hang out again as soon as possible?
- Yeah! Number swap?
Put it on my tab, Bobby!
You don't have a tab!
Sid?
Both: What are you doing here?
I live here!
- No way. I might too!
My parents are applying for an apartment right now!
I looked at it with them before going to the park!
Apartment 3A?
That's right over me in 2A! We could be neighbors!
- You're blowing my mind right now!
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh! -
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh!
together: Whoo!
Thanks, Mrs. Casagrande.
It was a pleasure meeting you and your grandchildren!
Hey, kiddo! Sorry we took so long.
Ready to head back to the hotel?
- Yep! See you later, neighbor!
Abuela!
You have to give that family the apartment!
I hung out with Sid at the park, and she's awesome!
- Mija, I don't own the building, I just manage it.
That decision's up to Mr. Scully, and he's gonna have
a lot of applicants to choose from.
Oh.
- Don't worry, niña, I'll put in a good word.
I like them, too.
- Come on, Abuela, back to work!
- You're right, CJ! Vamos!
Guys, I have a favor to ask.
You know that family who just looked at
the apartment, the Changs? They have to get it.
I know that sounds crazy,
but I just met this awesome girl, Sid, and--
Are you kidding?
We want them to get the apartment, too!
- Yeah! Carl and I met them when
they came into the mercado.
Did you know Mr. Chang is a subway driver?
- Excuse you, he is a conductor!
And he said he'd let me take the controls sometime!
- And Mrs. Chang is taking me to the zoo!
I'm going to feed the elephants!
- Oh, and that adorable little Adelaide?
Her parents are looking for a babysitter!
Hello, second job!
- I'm just happy to see you so excited about a new bud.
I know it's hard to make friends in a new city,
and I don't want you to be lonely.
- Come on, Bobby, don't get all cornball on me now.
If you guys are done, I want to hear the plan.
- Thank you, CJ. It's simple.
We just have to make sure that no other
potential tenants see the apartment.
How does Abuela usually advertise it?
