Oh, my queen, said the royal sorcerer to Hatshepsut. With this amulet, you and

your descendants are endowed by the goddess Isis. With the powers of the

animal and the element, you will soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of

gazelles, and command the elements of sky and earth.

Three thousand years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost

treasure and found she was heir to...

The secrets of ISIS.

And so, unknown to even her closest friends, Rick Mason and Cindy Lee, she

became a dual person. Andrea Thomas, teacher.

Almighty ISIS.

And ISIS, dedicated foe of evil, defender of the weak, champion of truth

and justice.

That's it. That makes it official.

Aeronautics day.

Model planes, gliders, kite flying, rockets, contests, prizes, come one,

come all. You know who will probably win the glider contest?

Mark Dawson.

Well, he's a hard one to beat.

Besides, I just saw his plane.

But the way he brags, I mean, like he invented model airplanes.

Well, Mark does have a few things to learn. Yeah, like how to get along with

people.

Yes, I was going to put it in my locker.

Quite a glider, beautifully made.

I didn't know you built mono airplanes.

Yes.

I designed the wings myself. They're special.

Here and Opie here gives more of a lift.

I have a big model.

It's just a hobby.

Well, you are going to enter the contest on Friday.

I don't think so.

Why not?

My brother, Raoul. Yes?

Won't let me.

He says girls don't do things like make model planes and race them against boys.

Do you think that's fair?

No, but what Raul says goes.

Would you like me to talk to him?

You can try.

Maybe I can help him to see things a new way.

Now, boys, just for a short time, I want to show it to my class.

In the meantime, you plan to be there on Friday with your planes.

Like Ben.

Hi. Hi. The faculty is not allowed in the contest.

Great wings.

Yeah, nice.

Here comes Mark Dauphin. Now we'll get an expert's opinion.

Hi, Mr. Mason. Miss Thomas.

Hello, Mark.

My plane can outfly that junker any day.

Well, it looks pretty good to me. That's an experimental type.

Wing construction's off. It can't fly.

Try it.

I'd say it did okay.

A lucky flight.

Hey, who's it belong to?

Chela Montoya.

Chela?

Come on. I've been making model planes since junior high, and nobody stands a

chance against me.

You might as well put my name on that trophy right now.

No lack of confidence in that boy.

He's just looking for trouble.

Miss Thomas.

Oh, I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd stop by.

How's your mural coming?

What mural?

Well, I thought you were making one of those big wall paintings.

Like that one.

Now that's a powerful picture.

Well, look at that one.

What about yours?

Ah, forget it.

I can't even get started. Three weeks of sketches and nothing.

You're the best artist we have in our school.

Why not do something for Aeronautics Day?

Sure, but what?

You could start by speaking with your sister, Chela.

I'm sure she'd have plenty of ideas on murals of earth.

Flying and planes and... So you know about Chela's hobby?

I spoke to her today.

You know it's more than a hobby.

Oh, sure, Chela messes around with planes, but what chance has she got? I

mean, she's a girl.

She'll never get to be an aeronautics engineer.

Why not, Raul? I know there are a few, but why not Chela?

Give her the chance.

Encourage her.

Let her enter that contest on Friday for openers.

Maybe you're right. I don't know. I'll see.

Okay. Thanks, Miss Thomas.

I was just wondering what you're doing for Aeronautics Day. Of course, it

really is an American celebration.

Hey, I'm very proud of my Mexican heritage.

I'm also proud to be an American.

And I know you people don't fly planes.

We don't. Who do you think flies all the planes in Mexico?

And mostly what you do is paint and scribble on walls.

Our wall painting is part of our history, our tradition.

All right, well, I'll tell you what.

Since you're such an artist, maybe I'll let you repaint my plane.

I could use some softer colors.

Pretty classy, huh?

Just wait till the contest.

Your sister have one like this? Yeah.

And I suppose you think it's better, huh?

Well, it is.

Excuse me, Mark. I gotta go.

Hey, what about repainting my plane?

Well, you don't want a lot of pictures in Chicano designs on it, do you?

See you around.

Your grumble.

Hey, what's eating you, Raoul?

Everything. These murals, these blank pages.

Your plane.

My plane?

You're going into that contest.

Yes. What chance do you have against Mark Dawson and all those other guys?

All my life I've made model planes and dreamed of flying.

I can take those dreams and become whatever I want.

Plane designer or test pilot.

Maybe even an astronaut.

Please believe in me.

You really think you can do it? I know I can.

And then one day you'll see it on television.

Cecilia Montoya flies her F9000 jet in new record-breaking time.

The whole body will withstand the cheer.

Why would they? Well, we can't let that Mark Dawson walk away with an easy win

anyway. Get ready to enter that contest.

I never thought I'd hear you say that. Well, I talked to Miss Thomas and it

helped me understand things.

My engine needs a new valve.

Watch it for me, Raul. I'll be right back.

Sure.

Hey,

you just gave me a great idea.

Okay. I borrowed these books from the art department.

They're for Raul. He needs a theme for his book.

I've never known Raul to run out of ideas.

I think it's that big blank wall that scared him. Well, it takes guts to try a

huge painting like that.

He can do it. Let's take those books to him. We're off.

Say hello to Taylor for me. Will do.

Montoya!

Oh, you again.

Still drawing, huh?

They're really observant.

That's your sister's stuff?

Yeah. Mind if I look?

Uh, look, but don't touch.

Wing design's new.

Taylor, think this up.

Yeah.

Can I fly it? Just one quick test flight.

Uh, you better ask Taylor when she comes back.

She won't let me. I know she won't.

Hey. Hey, man, that's not yours.

Afraid I'll find out it's no good, huh? Hey, it flies.

Then what's the sweat?

Don't let your sister tell you what to do.

Hey, man, you don't understand.

Sure I do.

She's calling the shots.

Raul's trapped in a truck. It's on the freeway by now, so I'm going to call the

highway patrol.

Mighty Ice.

Oh,

zephyr

winds which blow on high, lift me now so I can fly.

Hi, buddy.

Looks like your rig's broken down.

What seems to be the problem?

Probably overheated.

You never should have gone inside this truck.

Yeah, I know, but a guy tried to steal my sister's plane. I ran after him.

Raul, you cannot put yourself in danger just because someone else is being

foolish. I know.

Thanks for bailing me out.

something. Raul, where's my plane?

Raul?

Lost. It's gone.

Stolen.

Entiendes?

Gone? You were supposed to guard it. You promised me. It's my fault.

I was counting on you.

I know.

Where are you going?

To find your plane.

Do you recognize this?

Yes, I've seen that before.

Me too. Mark Dawson. That old army shirt he wears all the time.

Right. Rollo told me he was determined to fly your plane. I bet he came back

here and took your plane where you were gone.

He thought it would fly better than this.

He won't get it to fly without a new bell.

But he knows where to get one.

The hobby shop. Could we check over there? Right. Let's go.

You're selling a lot of those little bells today.

Did a guy in an old army shirt buy one?

Yeah. He came in here right after you did.

In fact, he had a plane that looked a little like yours, too.

Did he say where he was going?

No. But I told him if he was going to fly it, he'd need a lot of room.

Hey, wait a minute, Mark. I want to talk to you.

I want you in that contest on Friday.

I want Shannon to win fair and square.

She's got me beat already.

Her plane's better than mine.

If Mark were going to fly, he'd probably come here.

Over there.

My plane!

Can you hang on?

I'll try.

Mighty Isis.

Isis.

Tempest, Zephyr, winds on high.

I am to the ground.

Hey, Mark, you all right?

I'd have been a goner if it wasn't for you.

And Isis.

She was here a minute ago.

I got a take, Raul.

I've really been a dope.

Stealing Taylor's plane and all those stupid things I said about you.

About your painting and the other things.

Hey, I'd like to be your friend.

Yeah, I'd like that.

I guess we all learned something today.

That it's just not fair to put someone down because she's a girl.

Or because he comes from a different background.

That's just simply no way to live.

You're right.

I guess I'm not so smart about people.

Well, start eating some good Mexican food. You'll get smarter.

Hey, maybe I could help you paint your mural.

Yeah, sure.

I don't know anything about art, but I could help you paint the colors where

you tell me to.

All right, you're on. Let's go.

What do you think?

It's beautiful.

It's fantastic.

Hey, that's me on the swing.

When I was a kid, I used to do that and dream of flying.

It's me.

It's all of you, Jenna. You gave me the idea for the mural.

You do believe me.

You really do believe I'm going to fly from this.

And when you do, remember, it was Raul who gave you your wings.

Well, I can't take all the credit. I had some help.

I'd like you to meet one of my assistants.

Actually, I was only in charge of cleaning paintbrushes, but... Gracias.

And I'd like to say gracias to both of you. I'm very proud of you.
