[grunts]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[neighs]

Ready, boy?

[grunts]

[neighs]

[Lucky] Get it, Abigail.

-[snorts] -[all exclaiming]

[Lucky] Shh. Quiet.

[sighs]

-Whoa! -[crashing]

[all gasp]

[chuckles]

[Lucky] Okay, last one.

[gasps]

[Solana] Throw it, Abigail.

Buenos días, mis niñas.

Ah! You've set up the ring.

Bien hecho.

Come, let's feed the horses.

We could, but it would be their second breakfast.

You already fed them? All the horses?

-Yep. -Oh!

And groomed them.

The posters?

Hung in town, first thing this morning.

And we unpacked the caravans.

Mira.

Looks like we've finally made proper circus niñas out of them, Fito.

[chuckles] It seems we have.

[sighs] Let's sit and talk.

Uh, pull up a barbell.

[chuckles]

[grumbles]

You girls have earned your place with El Circo Dos Grillos.

But after our performance here, we cross the mountains.

Then winter comes

and until the snow melts next spring, we cannot return.

And so you see...

[sighs] In three days, we will say goodbye.

You girls must go home or be gone a year.

-But... -Already?

-Oh, my gosh! -[gasps]

We always planned on going back before school starts.

[sighs] Guess it'll just have to be a little sooner.

Does this mean...

Whoa! [screams]

...that tonight will be our last show?

It does.

Aw. I'm gonna miss you all.

Huh?

Well, you won't have to miss me.

I'm staying.

I told you when I came to the circus,

I'm never going back to Miradero.

This is my home now.

[horse chuffs]

Did you write to everyone back home?

No. Not everyone.

Just to my mom and dad.

And Snips, of course. And Turo.

Oh, and your parents and Lucky's aunt.

Also Winthrop at the ice cream parlor.

We're his best customers. He misses us.

[scoffs] We might beat your letters to Miradero. Sure you want to mail them?

My readers need to know we're coming home.

Lucky, if you've changed your mind, I could always add some PS's.

Well, PPS's. Hold on.

PPPP...

Yeah, come on, Lucky. You're not really staying, are you?

Of course I am.

The circus is my family, just like it was my mom's.

I'm following in her footsteps.

I want you to stay more than anything, but you shouldn't rush this decision.

I'm not! Pru, Abigail, maybe you're rushing yours.

You could stay, too. Hasn't the circus been amazing?

And there's still so many places we haven't seen

and tricks we haven't learned.

And-- and who's going to sweep up all the popcorn after shows?

Abigail, you love doing that.

It's so bittersweet.

But don't you miss your dad?

I bet he misses you an awful lot.

He should have thought about that before he got engaged without telling me.

-[distant yelling] -[all gasp]

What are they doing?

-I think we should turn around. -Sí, we better tell Fito.

-Gentlemen, please, allow me to explain. -We don't want to hear excuses and lies.

Please, let me assure you.

Hey! That's one of our posters!

And what is this girl doing running wild?

I'm not--

Lucky is a performer in El Circo Dos Grillos.

She's not a performer.

She's a child!

We won't have this sort of element corrupting our children.

Caballeros, we are here but to entertain,

to enchant, to--

To spread trouble

and delinquency.

And thievery.

The last circus that came through town

put on a show just to distract us

while they looted our homes!

Mis amigos,

El Circo Dos Grillos doesn't want any trouble.

We'll move on if you wish.

But we must gather provisions and rest our horses

before we cross the mountains.

Hmm. You have one day.

As you say. We shall be gone by morning.

[scoffs]

[grunts]

So we're just going to pack up and leave?

That's exactly what we're going to do, niña.

Antonio, help Julio dismantle the ring.

You got it, jefe.

Not all circuses are as noble as Dos Grillos.

And some towns, they just don't trust outsiders.

I saw this little girl while we were hanging posters.

She looked so sad.

Isn't it our job to make her happy?

Yes. Yes, it is.

But does that little girl get to see the circus? No!

As usual, the grown-ups just decided without even considering what she wants.

So typical!

Lucky, maybe you're thinking of your own father.

What? No, I'm not.

I barely ever think about him.

It's no shame to miss someone you love.

I don't miss him! I just feel bad for that poor girl.

[sighs]

Oye, we cross the mountains tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I thought it wasn't for two more days.

The town elders want us gone tomorrow.

Take the day to think.

You must be sure of your choice.

¿Qué pasa aquí, Antonio?

Fito's wrong. I do not miss my dad.

Why would I miss someone who doesn't even care enough to tell me

when he changes our entire family?

[snorts]

Besides, my mom left her village and never looked back.

Did she feel homesick?

Whoa!

Uh, we better turn around, boy. We're not welcome there.

[nickers]

-Whoa! -[girl chuckles]

[boy laughs]

[girl] Here you go. Try again.

Spirit, it's the girl from the window.

[boy] Come on, Millie. Throw it back!

-[neighs] -Shh.

You're doing it wrong.

You got to throw them all up at once.

Ow! [grunts]

[both laugh]

Hey, look!

It's a real-life circus girl.

Oh, wow.

How'd you get so good at that?

Lots of practice. Here, I'll show you.

Start with just one.

And then you add another.

And then another.

[both gasp]

Why don't you try... Millie?

Is that your name? Millie?

[gasps]

Aw, she don't talk.

Aw, come on. If you drop one, Spirit will clean it up.

[laughing]

You want to try?

Okay, here's the first one.

[gasps]

Oops! Are you okay?

[man] Hey! What are you doing?

Leave my daughter alone!

Did she hurt you?

Uh, I'm sorry. I was just--

I knew circus folk weren't to be trusted,

but to throw things at a vulnerable child...

She was just teaching us.

She didn't mean no harm, sir.

-I swear, I-- -Enough! I'll have none of your swearing!

Your parents will be none too pleased

to know you were playing with a circus vagrant.

[horse neighs]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Sorry, and thanks for showing us how to juggle.

You're not at all like the grown-ups say.

Yeah, you don't seem so bad.

[sighs] Sure wish we could see your show.

I guess we'll keep practicing.

[girl] Bye.

And then he dragged her off and told all the other kids to leave

just because I sort of accidentally threw an apple at his daughter.

You did what?

She wanted to learn how to juggle!

Dads never understand.

They just do stuff without even talking to you.

All Millie and the other kids in this town want is to see the circus.

But they can't.

But what if they could?

How? A magic trick? Tell me!

No, don't. I want to be surprised.

The grown-ups won't let them come to us,

but what if we went to them?

What are you doing?

We're getting ready.

[Lucky] For what?

We...

Abigail and I leave tomorrow.

Huh?

You're really gonna leave without ever performing again?

That's like leaving without getting to say goodbye to the circus.

[sighs] I did really want to perform one last time.

And think of those poor kids,

never getting to see the circus, ever...

for their whole lives.

[sighs] Okay.

Double okay.

[neighs]

Did I hear something about a show?

Yes, and it won't be an easy one.

[Pru] Let me guess.

It won't be easy because we have to sneak around the grown-ups,

all while giving the kids the surprise circus performance of their lives.

A secret show. I'll call it El Secreto Dos Grillos.

Spirit and I will go get all the stuff we need.

Maybe if Lucky does this show, she'll be ready to go home?

[sighs]

[chuckles] Well, what are we waiting for?

Come on, Solana!

[grunts]

[snorts]

[gasps]

Shh.

[snorts]

Ah!

[Estrella] I'll be right there! I just have to get my crystal ball.

[whimpers, grunts]

[coughing]

Hmm?

[grunts]

-[chuckles] -[neighs]

[chuckles] Come on!

[Solana] I can't wait!

[Abigail] Secreto's first performance!

[grunting]

Huh? Whoa!

-Wow! -Hmm?

[whistling]

[grumbles]

Huh? Hmm?

Amazing!

-Shh! -[gasps]

[whistles]

[gasps]

Wow!

That girl who threw an apple at Millie is back.

All right!

[Solana chuckles]

[children exclaiming]

-[chuckles] -[boy] That's amazing!

Whoa! I've never seen anything like that before.

[grunts]

-[gasps] -Wow!

[grunts] Ta-da!

-[chuckles] Whee! -[girl] How is she standing on it?

-[girl 2] Yeah. -[girl 3] She's so amazing.

[neighs]

[boy] Whoa! Did you see that?

[Abigail gasps]

[neighs]

[children continue exclaiming]

[girl] Too funny! Yeah!

[grunts] Whoa!

-[boy laughs] -[neighs]

Whoa!

[neighs]

[gasps]

-Whoa. -[children laughing]

-[boy] I want a horse like that. -Huh?

-[chuffs] -[laughs] Cool!

[gasps, yells]

Why, yes, I can lift more than my horse.

[sighs]

Ha!

-[neighs] -[cheering]

-All right! -There she goes.

[boy] Yeah! Whoa!

-Bravo! -[boy 2] Wow!

Great!

Whoa!

[boy] Amazing!

-[girl] Shh! -[boy] Grown-up!

[Abigail and Lucky] Thank you!

[Solana] Gracias!

We did it! Now let's go before anyone sees us.

Millie.

Spirit and I have one more trick to do.

Hey, Millie!

[children cheering]

-[boy] No way. -[boy 2] Yeah!

[neighs]

Millie, want to give it a try?

-Ah! -[grunts]

[chuckles]

Want to try a flip?

Do... do you think I can?

Whoa. Millie talked!

Sure you can.

We'll do it together.

[gasps]

Here we go.

Whoa!

[cheering]

Yay, yay, yay!

-Good job, Millie. -[children exclaiming]

[girl] Wow! All right!

[gasps] Oh, no.

[woman] What's going on?!

-Young lady, I have something to say. -[gasps]

Well, I have something to say to you.

Millie deserves to see the circus.

All the kids do,

because the circus is amazing.

-Instead, you just-- -I know.

-You do? -I do.

Our town council is wrong.

Papa!

The next time your circus comes through town,

I promise you'll get a warmer reception.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -[man] What in the...?

[crowd murmuring]

You better go, now.

Lucky, come on.

-[laughs] Papa! -[chuckles]

Which way did those girls go?

[man] What girls? I haven't seen anyone.

-Come on, Papa. -Who's my best girl?

[Millie] Me!

[Abigail] That was the best last show I could have imagined.

I'm renaming it The Heart-stopping Horse-tacular!

I love it!

It is hard to imagine a better last performance than that.

So... I guess we can all go home.

Pru, like I said before, the circus is my home now.

But, Lucky--

-Just stop! -[gasps]

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I told you, I'm staying, just like my mom.

Fine. We won't talk about it anymore.

[Spirit neighs]

[snorts]

[sighs]

[gasps]

Abigail? Pru?

Have you seen Pru and Abigail?

Barely. They left when it was still dark.

But-- but they didn't say goodbye.

[neighs]

Come on, boy, we've gotta catch up.

It's them. Hyah!

Hyah! Come on, boy.

Hey!

[neighs]

You just left without saying goodbye?

How could you do that to me?

To you? We asked you to come home with us a million times.

Just because I'm not coming back doesn't mean you get to leave like that.

Oh, really? That's a good one coming from you.

What's that supposed to mean?

You left Miradero without saying goodbye to us.

That was different!

How was it different?

We were so worried about you.

We didn't know where you were or if something happened.

You could've at least left a note.

I...

I...

didn't know what to say.

Well, too bad, 'cause we're your friends.

You should be able to tell us anything.

You didn't just run away from home.

You ran away from us.

So you're getting back at me?

Fine. Go. It's easy for you.

You both have both your moms and dads.

You don't have some stranger marrying your dad

and replacing your mother.

He didn't even tell me. I thought we were a team.

Oh, come on, Lucky.

You're not mad that your dad didn't tell you.

You're mad that it's happening at all.

Because he's forgetting my mom.

And if I have to leave the circus, it's like I'm forgetting her, too.

And-- and then she'll really be gone.

You think I don't want to go home?

But I want to go back to my home,

and I can't, because it's not there anymore.

Ugh! It is.

It's just different.

Lucky, what your dad did...

[sighs] Not telling you was wrong.

But the way you're acting is wrong, too.

Your dad loves you, and you just left without talking to him.

Why do you think I'm so afraid to go home?

What if...

he doesn't even want to see me?

Are you kidding?

In her last letter, your aunt said all your dad does is talk about you.

And then I got a letter from Miss Flores, and...

Oops.

You know what? Not "oops"!

Miss Flores is nice! There, I said it. I'm not sorry.

[sighs]

I know. It makes hating her really hard.

Oh. Well...

I'm glad I convinced you.

And she's not replacing your mom.

No one could do that.

Milagro will always be with you,

even if you come home.

Come home with us.

-Okay. -[Abigail grunts]

I guess I've been kind of a pain, huh?

Oh, no more than usual.

-Wait, what? -[Abigail laughs]

[Spirit neighs]

[grunts]

[Spirit snorts]

[Abigail] "Dear Fito, we miss you and Estrella and everyone already.

Give Solana and Luna a hug from us. Two hugs.

And tell them we miss them, too."

[gasps]

Lucky, are you coming?

[gasps]

I'm coming. Hyah!

[Abigail] "Spending the summer with the circus was a magical experience.

I'll never forget it. None of us will.

Oh! And we had a very eventful trip home.

We saw a deer family and a rare blonde possum,

and I saw a coyote, but Pru says it was just a dog.

Also, this is so funny. I found another rock that looks like a"--

You can stop writing, Abigail.

-We're home. -[gasps]
