(Upbeat music plays)
Emily Agard runs in a yard holding balloons. She is in her mid-twenties, with long wavy brown hair. She wears a floral blouse under a light jacket and dark blue jeans.
Fast clips show kids celebrating different holidays.
Emily says EVERYONE LOVES A PARTY,
AND THIS BASH COMES
WITH A TWIST:
TWO KIDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
ONE IS A PARTY HOST,
THIS IS THEIR CELEBRATION.
THE OTHER WILL
GET A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE
AS THEIR GUEST.
Kids and musicians say HOLA!
Emily says SURPRISES AND CHALLENGES
AWAIT THEM BOTH.
AND YOU'RE INVITED!
She shows a tablet that reads "It's my party!"
Kids say IT'S MY PARTY!
In a colourful TV studio, Emily says HI, GUYS. I'M EMILY
AND WELCOME TO PARTY HQ
WHERE WE ALWAYS START THE PARTY.
I'LL BE MATCHING UP
TWO AWESOME KIDS
AND HELPING THEM GET READY
FOR A BIG EVENT.
FIRST IS OUR HOST KIARA,
AND THIS IS HER PARTY.
THREE THINGS ABOUT KIARA.
SHE'S KNOWN TO HAVE
GIGGLE ATTACKS,
SHE LOVES ANIMALS,
AND SHE CAN DO
A BACK HANDSPRING.
SHE KNOWS ALL THE FUN DETAILS
ABOUT HER CELEBRATION
AND CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE THEM.
In a video, Kiara says I CAN'T WAIT FOR PARTY TIME.
Emily says WELCOME TO PARTY HQ, KIARA!
Kiara walks into the studio. She is around 9 years old, with black hair in two braids. She wears a pink shirt and patterned white and blue trousers.
Kiara says HEY, EMILY.
Emily says LET'S STRIKE
A PARTY POSE. READY?
Kiara says YEAH! FOR SURE!
Emily chuckles and says OK, KIARA,
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BIG BASH.
Kiara says THERE'S GONNA BE
SOME YUMMY BUTTER CHICKEN.
THERE'S GONNA BE LOTS OF MUSIC.
AND MY HOUSE IS GONNA BE
FILLED WITH
DIYAS.
Emily says WE DON'T WANT TO SHARE
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP IT
A SURPRISE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE MATCH YOU UP
WITH THE PERFECT PARTY GUEST.
TELL US THREE THINGS
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN A GUEST.
Kiara says I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO SOMEONE WHO IS CREATIVE,
KIND AND SOMEONE WITH
A BIG SMILE ON THEIR FACE.
Emily says OOH, THOSE ARE
SOME TOPNOTCH CHOICES.
I THINK I HAVE JUST THE PERSON.
They look at a screen on the wall.
She continues PARTY HQ DATABASE,
SHOW KIARA HER MATCH.
Pictures of children are shuffled around.
She continues IT'S ISAAC!
THREE THINGS ABOUT ISAAC:
HE LOVES TO COOK,
HE'S AFRAID OF SPIDERS,
AND HE'S A MASTER
PAPER PLANE ARTIST.
KIARA, ARE YOU PUMPED
TO MEET ISAAC?
Kiara says YEAH, I'M SO EXCITED!
Emily says ALRIGHT, LET'S BRING HIM OUT!
Isaac is around 12 years old. He has short blond hair and wears a plaid black and red shirt and black trousers.
Isaac says HI, EVERYBODY!
HI, EMILY!
HI.
Kiara says HI.
Emily says LET'S DO A PARTY PIC.
They jump and strike a matching party pose.
Emily says ISAAC, ARE YOU READY TO FIND OUT
WHAT PARTY YOU'RE GOING TO?
Isaac says YEAH! I'VE BEEN
TO JAMAICAN PARTIES,
REGULAR BIRTHDAY PARTIES
AND HOUSEWARMING PARTIES.
Kiara says HE SEEMS FRIENDLY.
Emily says KIARA, WHEN I SAY GO,
YOU'RE GONNA RUN OVER THERE
AND PUSH THAT BUTTON.
AND IT'S GONNA RAIN BALLOONS.
ISAAC, IT'S
YOUR MISSION TO FIND
THE GOLD BALLOONS AND POP AWAY,
BECAUSE IN ONE OF THEM IS YOUR
INVITATION TO THE CELEBRATION.
HERE WE GO!
THREE...
Isaac says TWO.
Emily says ONE! GO, KIARA, GO!
(fast electronic music plays)
Thirty to forty balloons from various colors drop from the ceiling.
Emily says OK, REMEMBER:
YOU HAVE TO FIND
THE GOLD BALLOON.
Isaac says I FOUND ONE.
Emily says OH, THERE'S NOTHING IN
THAT ONE. HOW ABOUT OVER THERE?
Kiara says HERE.
Isaac says POP IT.
Emily says OK, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S THE PARTY?
Isaac reads I'M INVITED TO DIWALI.
Kiara says IT'S MY PARTY.
Diwali is written on the screen in colourful large block letters.
Isaac says I'M EXCITED 'CAUSE THIS IS
MY FIRST TIME GOING TO
A DIWALI PARTY.
Kiara says IT'S NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER
CELEBRATIONS THAT WE DO,
LIKE CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING,
SO IT'S SPECIAL.
Emily says KIARA, WHAT SHINY DETAIL
DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH ISAAC
ABOUT THIS AWESOME CELEBRATION?
Kiara says WELL, AT THE DIWALI PARTY,
THERE'S GONNA BE
REALLY COOL,
COLOURFUL FIREWORKS.
Isaac says THAT'S AWESOME.
Kiara says HE SEEMS EXCITED
TO GO TO MY DIWALI PARTY.
Emily says WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD
LEARN MORE ABOUT DIWALI.
CHECK THIS OUT!
DIWALI ALSO KNOWN AS DEEPAVALI
THE CELEBRATION WELCOMES
GOOD FORTUNE INTO THE HOME.
BRIGHT LANTERNS ARE HUNG
AND SPARKLERS ARE SET OFF
TO LIGHT THE WAY
FOR THE GODDESS LAKSHMI
WHO BRINGS LUCK, WEALTH
AND PROSPERITY WITH HER.
Pictures of the celebration flash by.
She continues LAKSHMI IS THE WIFE
OF VISHNU, AND BOTH ARE
IMPORTANT PARTS OF
HINDUISM AND DIWALI.
THIS HOLIDAY IS AS SWEET
AS THEY COME, FILLED
WITH DELICIOUS INDIAN TREATS
AND FEASTS THAT ARE SHARED
WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
BEFORE YOU GO, WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
CAN'T FORGET THE PARTY PHONES.
ONE AND TWO.
HERE ARE YOUR PARTY PHONES.
Kiara says THANKS.
Isaac says COOL!
Emily says WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH,
SO I DON'T MISS A THING.
THE GOOD TIMES AWAIT
THROUGH THOSE DOORS. BYE!
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara says BYE.
Emily says AND THE COUNTDOWN TO THE PARTY
BEGINS NOW.
Kiara says MY DAD IS HINDU,
AND MY MOM IS CATHOLIC.
AND ON MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE
FAMILY, WE DO THE DIWALI PARTY.
Isaac says I'M JAMAICAN, CHINESE,
AUSTRIAN, SWISS,
IRISH AND UKRAINIAN,
BUT I'M NOT HINDU,
SO THIS IS GONNA BE INTERESTING.
(music plays)
Four kids dance around excitedly.
Kids say WHAT IS DIWALI?
Kid 1 says I HAVE NO IDEA.
Kid 2 says OH, IT'S A HOLIDAY!
Kid 1 says SHE'S THE SMARTY PANTS.
Kid 3 says KIND OF LIKE CHRISTMAS.
Kid 2 says IT IS THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.
Kid 1 says NICE!
Kids say PARTY SNACKS!
Kid 4 says THAT LOOKS LIKE SUSHI TO ME.
Kid 5 says IT LOOKS LIKE A PINK
CHEESECAKE.
Kid 4 says I LIKE THE CHERRY.
THAT LOOKS LIKE A HOT DOG!
Kid 6 says IS THIS GOOD?
Kid 5 says THIS IS AWESOME.
Kid 4 says THIS IS REALLY LIKE, ODD.
Kid 7 says A LOT OF THIS STUFF
IS VERY SWEET.
Kid 4 says I KNOW. 'CAUSE
THEY'RE INDIAN SWEETS.
Emily says PARTY HOST KIARA AND HER GUEST
ISAAC HAVE BEEN MATCHED UP.
THE EVENT IS DIWALI.
AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING
UNTIL TOMORROW SO THERE'S A BIT
OF TIME TO PLAY.
GET READY FOR PARTY PREP,
PARTY CHALLENGE
AND PARTY SURPRISE.
THE BEST PART IS THEY DON'T KNOW
WHEN ANY OF THESE ARE GONNA
BE HAPPENING.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A REVEAL?
IT'S MY SPECIALTY.
A caption reads "Party challenge."
Emily says CALL KIARA'S PARTY PHONE.
(party phone ringing)
HELLO!
Kiara and Isaac say HI, EMILY!
Emily says GREAT! YOU HAVE ARRIVED
AT YOUR DESTINATION.
LOOK FAMILIAR, KIARA?
Kiara says OF COURSE, IT'S MY HOUSE.
Emily says I WAS HOPING YOU'D ANSWER
THAT QUESTION CORRECTLY.
TIME TO TAKE YOUR PARTY DÉCOR
TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND
CREATE A RANGOLI.
Isaac says HEY, WHAT'S A RANGOLI?
Kiara says IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ART.
Emily says I'VE ARRANGED FOR MY FRIEND
PRAKASH, WHO'S ONE
OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS
I KNOW, TO SWING BY
AND GIVE YOU A HAND.
HAVE FUN! BYE!
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara says BYE.
I'VE NEVER DONE
RANGOLI BEFORE, AND TODAY'S THE
FIRST DAY I'M GOING TO DO IT.
Isaac, Kiara and Prakash sit on the floor. Prakash is in his mid-forties, clean-shaven with black hair. He wears glasses, a plaid shirt and blue jeans.
Prakash says HI, ISAAC. HI, KIRA.
Kiara and Isaac say HI, PRAKASH.
Prakash says SO WE ARE GONNA DO THE RANGOLI
TODAY. RANGOLI'S DONE DURING
THE DIWALI TIME,
AND IT'S A COLOURFUL ART.
Kiara says I LIKE DOING ART,
SO IT WAS ACTUALLY EXCITING
AND REALLY FUN.
AND I GOT TO IT WITH ISAAC.
Prakash says WANNA TOUCH IT?
TOUCH! TOUCH!
The kids touch yellow sand on a small bowl.
He continues RANGOLI, TRADITIONALLY,
IS DONE
ON A DOORSTEP
OR AN ENTRANCE.
Isaac says YEAH.
Prakash says TO WELCOME THE GUEST.
Isaac says OK.
Prakash says WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A RANGOLI,
WE PUT A COUPLE OF
DYAS
OR CANDLES ON IT.
BECAUSE IT'S SAND,
YOU CAN GENTLY PUSH IT
AND MAKE A DOT. RIGHT THERE.
Isaac says THAT'S COOL.
Kiara says WHAT WE ARE MAKING
FOR THE RANGOLI IS FLOWERS
AND DIFFERENT LINES AND DOTS.
AND THEY'RE ALL VERY COLORFUL.
AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS
YOU CAN DO THE FLOWERS
IN LINES AND DOTS.
Prakash says WE'LL CREATE A FLOWER.
ALRIGHT?
Isaac says OK.
Kiara says OK.
Prakash says SO WE GOT OUR SHAPE.
PUSH IT.
He uses a swab to draw a line on the circular sand shape.
Kiara says WHY ARE THE FLOWERS
FOR DIWALI?
Prakash says TO BE A PRESENT
AT THE GODDESS LAKSHMI.
Kiara says OHHH...
Isaac says I WAS KIND OF NERVOUS
TO LEARN RANGOLI
'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
IF I WAS GONNA LIKE IT OR NOT.
IT TURNS OUT I REALLY LIKED
RANGOLI, AND IT WAS
VERY FUN.
Prakash says SO, KIARA,
TOMORROW THERE'S GONNA BE
A BIG PARTY IN YOUR HOUSE,
AND YOU'RE GONNA DO
RANGOLI BY YOUR OWN.
Isaac says AND THEN WE GOT TO DO
OUR OWN RANGOLI.
Prakash says GUYS, IT'S RANGOLI TIME!
Isaac says IT'S RANGOLI TIME!
Prakash says YAY!
Isaac and Kiara work on their rangoli.
Kiara says I HOPE EVERYONE IS GOING
TO LOVE THE RANGOLI.
ISAAC IS FUN
AND NICE,
AND HE'S FUN TO DO
THE RANGOLI WITH.
Isaac says I WAS SHY
WHEN I MET KIARA AT FIRST,
BUT NOW I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
HANGING AROUND HER.
Kiara says TEACHING ISAAC
ABOUT MY CULTURE
WAS FUN AND INTERESTING
BECAUSE I DON'T NORMALLY
TEACH PEOPLE
ABOUT MY CULTURE.
Isaac says WHAT DO YOU WEAR
AT THE DIWALI FESTIVAL?
Kiara says UM, IT'S LIKE INDIAN TOO.
AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY
ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ONES
YOU CAN WEAR.
Isaac says COOL.
Kiara says IT'S BEEN FUN GETTING TO KNOW
ISAAC BECAUSE HE'S NOT ANNOYING
LIKE THE OTHER BOYS
IN MY SCHOOL.
Isaac says WORKING WITH KIARA WAS
VERY FUN 'CAUSE SHE HAD LOTS
OF UNIQUE AND CREATIVE IDEAS.
Kiara says WE JUST ENDED UP DOING
A WHOLE BUNCH
OF DIFFERENT FLOWERS.
IT WAS VERY COLOURFUL.
IT LOOKED REALLY PRETTY,
I THOUGHT.
Isaac says I CAN'T WAIT
FOR TOMORROW'S DIWALI PARTY.
Emily calls Kiara and Isaac.
Emily says HI, GUYS!
Isaac and Kiara say HI, EMILY.
Emily says HOW ARE MY TWO ARTISTS DOING?
Isaac says AMAZING!
Kiara says ALMOST DONE OUR RANGOLI
Emily says WELL, YOU BETTER HURRY
AND FINISH UP BECAUSE THERE'S
A COUPLE MORE ACTIVITIES
PLANNED FOR YOU. ISAAC, WE'VE
GOT TO GET YOU MEASURED UP
AND, KIARA, THINGS ARE ABOUT
TO GET SCRUMPTIOUS FOR YOU.
TEXTING YOU THE DETAILS NOW.
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Emily says BYE.
Kids say RANGOLI!
Kid 1 says I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
THAT GOES ON PIZZA.
Kid 3 says IT'S THIS KIND OF BREAD
THAT YOU SQUISH
JELLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
JAM. I DON'T KNOW.
Kid 4 says MAYBE IT'S A PASTA.
Kid 2 says TORTELLINI?
Kid 3 says OR PENNE?
Kid 1 says OR SPAGHETTI?
They laugh.
Kid 4 says YOU PUT
SANDY FLOWERS
IN THE FRONT
OF YOUR DOORSTEP.
Kids say FAVOURITE PARTY DECORATIONS!
Kid 1 says BALLOON!
Kid 2 says THOSE THINGS
WHERE YOU GO LIKE...
(tooting)
Kid 3 says GOODY BAGS!
Kid 1 says I'VE NEVER "BLEW" UP A BALLOON
IN MY LIFE THOUGH I TRIED.
Kid 3 says HOW?
They play with balloons.
Kid 4 says NO MORE DROP.
NO MORE DROPPING.
OH NO! NO!
At Party HQ, Emily says KIARA AND ISAAC
HAVE COMPLETED
THE RANGOLI CHALLENGE,
AND NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE NEXT REVEAL.
ISAAC WILL BE GETTING
A DIWALI-INSPIRED MAKEOVER,
AND KIARA, SHE'S IN CHARGE
OF A DELICIOUS FOOD FISH.
TIME TO SHARE THE NEWS!
CALL ISAAC'S PARTY PHONE.
ISAAC!
Isaac stands in an Indian clothing store.
Isaac says HI, EMILY.
Emily says YOU MADE IT TO YOUR
NEXT STOP, OM DEEPAM. ARE
YOU READY FOR YOUR SURPRISE?
Isaac says YEAH!
Emily says GREAT! I'VE ASKED ANN,
THE OWNER OF THE STORE,
TO HELP YOU FIND AN OUTFIT
FOR THE PARTY. YOU GAME?
Isaac says YEAH, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
Emily says HAHAHAHA! HAPPY SHOPPING!
Isaac says I LOVE SHOPPING.
BYE, EMILY.
Emily says BYE, ISAAC.
Isaac says OM DEEPAM IS
A REALLY COOL STORE
WHERE I PICKED UP MY KURTA.
AT OM DEEPAM, I SAW
LOTS OF DIFFERENT COLOURS,
JEWELRY, HATS, SHOES,
KURTAS AND INDIAN DRESSES.
HELLO. HI.
Ann and Isaac shake hands. Ann is in her forties, with short black hair. She wears glasses, a white necklace and a red and gold dress over black trousers.
Ann says OH, HELLO, ISAAC. HOW ARE YOU?
Isaac says GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
Ann says I'M ANN. NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'VE HEARD YOU'RE HERE
FOR A KURTA.
Isaac says YEAH.
Ann says DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT KURTA?
Isaac says NO.
Ann says WELL, IT'S AN INDIAN WEAR,
AND WE WEAR IT
FOR VERY SPECIAL OCCASIONS,
LIKE DIWALI,
WEDDINGS, ALL THE BIG CEREMONIES
AND FUNCTIONS.
Isaac says A KURTA IS AN INDIAN SUIT
THAT MEN WEAR FOR DIWALI.
A caption reads "Lakshmi equals Hindu goddess."
Touching a small statue, Ann says THIS IS LAKSHMI.
SO THIS IS WHAT
DIWALI IS ALL ABOUT.
SHE IS THE MOTHER OF HEALTH,
WEALTH AND PROSPERITY.
WE ALL NEED HER. SHE'S MONEY.
THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HER.
AND THIS IS
A VERY, VERY SPECIAL FLOWER.
IT'S CALLED A LOTUS FLOWER.
She opens a pink flower.
Isaac says I LEARNED A LOT
ABOUT DIWALI FROM ANN.
LIKE, THE LOTUS FLOWER CAME
ALL THE WAY FROM INDIA,
AND YOU GIVE IT TO LAKSHMI
ON DIWALI
AS, LIKE, AN OFFERING.
SO THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
Ann says YEAH. GO AHEAD.
PERFECT! IT'S PERFECT!
THAT'S IT.
Isaac says I GOT TO OFFER A FLOWER
TO A GODDESS.
Ann says WE CAN GO NOW AND LOOK
AT THE KURTAS.
Isaac says ALL RIGHT.
Isaac tries on a red and white kurta and strikes multiple poses.
Isaac says I'M EXCITED TO SURPRISE KIARA
WITH MY KURTA.
I DIDN'T LIKE THE SHOES.
MY FEET WERE KIND OF LIKE
CRAMPED INSIDE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WALKING
IN THOSE FOR LIKE A WHOLE DAY.
Isaac poses for some pictures in a lounge chair.
Isaac says I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW'S
PARTY! I'LL LOOK AWESOME!
Kids say NAME THIS FLOWER!
Kid 6 says I DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Kid 5 says WATERLILY.
Kid 7 says I THINK IT'S A LOTUS
BECAUSE OF THE PETALS.
Kid 6 says HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Kid 7 says MY DAD HAS A LOT OF PICTURES
OF LOTUSES IN HIS PHONE.
Kid 5 says I STILL THINK
IT'S A WATERLILY.
Kid 7 says IT'S DEFINITELY NOT.
Kids say LAKSHMI!
Kid 6 says I THINK IT'S
THE BAD GUY WHO, IF YOU LOOK
STRAIGHT INTO HER EYES,
SHE MAKES YOU INTO STONE.
Kid 7 says THAT'S MEDUSA.
Kid 6 says MEDUSA THEN.
Kid 5 says NO. MEDUSA HAS SNAKES.
SHE'S FROM INDIA.
Kid 8 says SHE IS AN INDIAN GOD.
Kid 7 says SHE'S ALSO SITTING ON A LOTUS.
Kids say WHAT'S HER NAME?
Kid 8 says LAKSHMI.
Kid 6 says "LAKASHMI."
They say LAK... SAY LAK.
LAK.
SCHMI.
SCHMI.
Kid 5 says NOW SAY ALL TOGETHER.
Kid 6 says LAKASHMI.
Kid 8 says NO!
Emily says ISAAC IS FINALIZING
THE LOOK FOR HIS DIWALI OUTFIT.
NOW, LET'S CHECK IN
WITH KIARA.
SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO WASH UP
FOR HER NEXT TASK.
The caption changes to "Party Prep."
Emily says CALL KIARA'S PARTY PHONE.
HI!
Back at Kiara's house, she says HEY, EMILY.
Emily says YOU READY FOR PARTY PREP?
TIME TO COOK UP SOME KORMA.
Kiara says THIS IS NOT GONNA BE EASY.
Emily says FEAR NOT, I'VE GOT YOU.
I'VE ASKED YOUR MOM
TO HELP YOU OUT.
Kiara whispers I BELIEVE
MY MOM CAN'T COOK.
Emily says HAHAHAHA!
WELL, THIS IS ONE SWEET
I'M SURE YOU CAN BOTH MASTER.
YOU'VE GOT THIS, KIARA.
BYE.
Kiara says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara's mom is in her forties, with black hair in a long ponytail. She wears a purple shirt and silver hoop earrings.
In the kitchen, Mom says HI, KIARA.
Kiara says HI, MOMMY.
Holding a bowl, Mom says THIS IS THE KORMA
THAT GRANDMA MADE, BUT WE'RE
GONNA MAKE OUR OWN KORMA TODAY.
Kiara says OH, I LOVE GRANDMA'S KORMA.
Mom says WELL, TODAY WE'RE GONNA
COOK, KIARA,
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE SURPRISED.
Kiara says KORMA IS A TYPE OF SWEET
WE EAT DURING DIWALI.
Mom says WE'RE GONNA
MIX ALL THIS TOGETHER,
THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A LITTLE NICE DOUGH,
AND WE'RE GONNA ROLL IT OUT.
THEN, WE'RE GONNA CUT IT
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA FRY IT.
Kiara says ALL RIGHT.
I'M SHOCKED
MY MOM ACTUALLY CAN COOK.
DO I MIX IT HARD OR, LIKE, SLOW?
Mom says MIX IT SLOWLY 'CAUSE WE DON'T
WANT THE FLOUR GOING
ALL OVER THE PLACE, RIGHT?
Kiara says OH, OK.
THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF STEPS.
WE REALLY JUST HAD TO ADD
SOME EVAPORATED MILK
INTO THE FLOUR
AND THEN MIX IT UP
AND THEN PUT SOME BUTTER
AND WATER INSIDE.
CAN I PUT MY HANDS IN HERE?
Mom says SURE. OK.
GO ON. MIX IT UP.
MAKE IT INTO A NICE, BIG BALL.
ARE YOUR HANDS CLEAN?
Kiara says YES.
Mom says OK, GOOD.
Kiara says THE DOUGH WAS LIKE
ALL SQUISHY AND GOOEY,
AND IT WAS FUN. ROARRR!
IT WAS VERY MESSY
MAKING THE KORMA.
I AM EXCITED TO SHARE
THE KORMA WITH ISAAC
BECAUSE HE'S NEVER
TRIED IT BEFORE.
AND I HOPE HE LIKES IT.
DIWALI IS ONE
OF MY FAVOURITE FESTIVALS
AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO EAT ALL THE GOOD SWEETS.
Mom says I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT
ALL THE GOOD SWEETS EITHER
AND ALL THE YUMMY FOOD.
Kiara says WHEN WE HAVE DIWALI,
IT'S MOSTLY VEGETARIAN FOOD,
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE,
LIKE, RICE AND EGGPLANT.
MY FAVOURITE THING TO EAT
IN DIWALI
IS ACTUALLY THE KORMA.
Korma fries in some oil.
Mom says SO HERE'S ALL THE KORMA
ALL FRIED UP,
AND I'M GONNA POUR THIS IN HERE
WITH THE SYRUP. OK? SO WE'RE
GONNA PUT THIS IN THERE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA
HELP ME MIX IT?
Kiara says ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO TOMORROW.
WE HAVE TO
DECORATE THE HOUSE,
PUT EVERYTHING ON DISPLAY,
LIKE THE FOOD
AND THE RANGOLI,
AND I HAVE TO GET DRESSED.
MMM! IT TASTES GOOD.
Mom says VERY GOOD!
IS IT BETTER THAN GRANDMA'S?
Kiara says NO.
Mom chuckles.
Kiara says THE KORMA WE'VE MADE WAS
ALMOST BETTER THAN MY GRANDMA'S,
FOR HER FIRST TIME.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER THOUGH.
Mom says SO WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP, KIARA,
'CAUSE TOMORROW'S DIWALI
AND WE HAVE TO GET READY.
Kiara says OK.
Mom says OK, LET'S GO.
Kiara and her mom leave the kitchen to get ready.
Emily says IT'S PARTY DAY!
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CROSSED OFF
THE TO-DO LIST.
PARTY PREP, PARTY SURPRISE
AND PARTY CHALLENGE
HAVE ALL BEEN COMPLETED.
ALL THAT'S LEFT
IS THE CELEBRATION.
KIARA AND ISAAC HAVE BEEN
GETTING READY FOR ALL THE FUN,
AND I FOR ONE AM READY
FOR A FEAST.
LET'S NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME.
LET THE FESTIVAL
OF LIGHTS BEGIN!
The caption changes to "Party time."
Kiara says IT'S MY PARTY!
(doorbell ringing)
Kiara and her parents prepare their home for the Diwali party. They light candles, assemble the food and hang flower decorations before the guests arrive.
A guest says HI. HI.

Mom says OK, GUYS, YOU KNOW WHAT?

Isaac says YEAH, LET'S GO!
MY FAVOURITE PART
WAS THE FOOD.
Delicious-looking curries, rice dishes and sweet treats are laid out on the dinner table. Kiara's family and friends dig in filling their plates with all the food.
A guest says WHERE'S THAT RICE?
PLEASE DON'T EAT ALL OF IT.
Isaac says MAYBE, MAYBE THE...
MAYBE THE RICE.
Kiara says WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?
Isaac says I LIKED THE CHICKPEAS
AND THE RICE 'CAUSE IT REMINDED
ME OF BUTTER CHICKEN.
They all eat, chat and enjoy themselves at the party.
Guest 1 says IT'S VERY GOOD.
Kiara' s mom says ISAAC, YOUR MOM
SAID IT'S TIME TO GO.
Kiara says CAN YOU PASS ME ONE OF THEM?

ABOUT EVERYBODY HERE.
IT'S BEEN AWESOME.
EMILY IS FUN!
Kiara says GRANDMA, DO YOU WANT

With short wavy black hair and a red blouse, Grandma says OH, I WOULD LOVE TO.
Kiara says I THINK THE KORMA
TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD.
Grandma says WOW, IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.

They all chuckle.
Kiara says MY GRANDMA THOUGHT
IT WAS ALMOST BETTER THAN HERS.

(Indian dance music plays)
All the kids at the party dance around the living room while the adults cheer and clap.

Emily says EVERYONE LOVES A PARTY,
AND THIS BASH COMES
WITH A TWIST:
TWO KIDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
ONE IS A PARTY HOST,
THIS IS THEIR CELEBRATION.
THE OTHER WILL
GET A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE
AS THEIR GUEST.
Kids and musicians say HOLA!
Emily says SURPRISES AND CHALLENGES
AWAIT THEM BOTH.
AND YOU'RE INVITED!
She shows a tablet that reads "It's my party!"
Kids say IT'S MY PARTY!
In a colourful TV studio, Emily says HI, GUYS. I'M EMILY
AND WELCOME TO PARTY HQ
WHERE WE ALWAYS START THE PARTY.
I'LL BE MATCHING UP
TWO AWESOME KIDS
AND HELPING THEM GET READY
FOR A BIG EVENT.
FIRST IS OUR HOST KIARA,
AND THIS IS HER PARTY.
THREE THINGS ABOUT KIARA.
SHE'S KNOWN TO HAVE
GIGGLE ATTACKS,
SHE LOVES ANIMALS,
AND SHE CAN DO
A BACK HANDSPRING.
SHE KNOWS ALL THE FUN DETAILS
ABOUT HER CELEBRATION
AND CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE THEM.
In a video, Kiara says I CAN'T WAIT FOR PARTY TIME.
Emily says WELCOME TO PARTY HQ, KIARA!
Kiara walks into the studio. She is around 9 years old, with black hair in two braids. She wears a pink shirt and patterned white and blue trousers.
Kiara says HEY, EMILY.
Emily says LET'S STRIKE
A PARTY POSE. READY?
Kiara says YEAH! FOR SURE!
Emily chuckles and says OK, KIARA,
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BIG BASH.
Kiara says THERE'S GONNA BE
SOME YUMMY BUTTER CHICKEN.
THERE'S GONNA BE LOTS OF MUSIC.
AND MY HOUSE IS GONNA BE
FILLED WITH
DIYAS.
Emily says WE DON'T WANT TO SHARE
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP IT
A SURPRISE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE MATCH YOU UP
WITH THE PERFECT PARTY GUEST.
TELL US THREE THINGS
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN A GUEST.
Kiara says I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO SOMEONE WHO IS CREATIVE,
KIND AND SOMEONE WITH
A BIG SMILE ON THEIR FACE.
Emily says OOH, THOSE ARE
SOME TOPNOTCH CHOICES.
I THINK I HAVE JUST THE PERSON.
They look at a screen on the wall.
She continues PARTY HQ DATABASE,
SHOW KIARA HER MATCH.
Pictures of children are shuffled around.
She continues IT'S ISAAC!
THREE THINGS ABOUT ISAAC:
HE LOVES TO COOK,
HE'S AFRAID OF SPIDERS,
AND HE'S A MASTER
PAPER PLANE ARTIST.
KIARA, ARE YOU PUMPED
TO MEET ISAAC?
Kiara says YEAH, I'M SO EXCITED!
Emily says ALRIGHT, LET'S BRING HIM OUT!
Isaac is around 12 years old. He has short blond hair and wears a plaid black and red shirt and black trousers.
Isaac says HI, EVERYBODY!
HI, EMILY!
HI.
Kiara says HI.
Emily says LET'S DO A PARTY PIC.
They jump and strike a matching party pose.
Emily says ISAAC, ARE YOU READY TO FIND OUT
WHAT PARTY YOU'RE GOING TO?
Isaac says YEAH! I'VE BEEN
TO JAMAICAN PARTIES,
REGULAR BIRTHDAY PARTIES
AND HOUSEWARMING PARTIES.
Kiara says HE SEEMS FRIENDLY.
Emily says KIARA, WHEN I SAY GO,
YOU'RE GONNA RUN OVER THERE
AND PUSH THAT BUTTON.
AND IT'S GONNA RAIN BALLOONS.
ISAAC, IT'S
YOUR MISSION TO FIND
THE GOLD BALLOONS AND POP AWAY,
BECAUSE IN ONE OF THEM IS YOUR
INVITATION TO THE CELEBRATION.
HERE WE GO!
THREE...
Isaac says TWO.
Emily says ONE! GO, KIARA, GO!
(fast electronic music plays)
Thirty to forty balloons from various colors drop from the ceiling.
Emily says OK, REMEMBER:
YOU HAVE TO FIND
THE GOLD BALLOON.
Isaac says I FOUND ONE.
Emily says OH, THERE'S NOTHING IN
THAT ONE. HOW ABOUT OVER THERE?
Kiara says HERE.
Isaac says POP IT.
Emily says OK, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S THE PARTY?
Isaac reads I'M INVITED TO DIWALI.
Kiara says IT'S MY PARTY.
Diwali is written on the screen in colourful large block letters.
Isaac says I'M EXCITED 'CAUSE THIS IS
MY FIRST TIME GOING TO
A DIWALI PARTY.
Kiara says IT'S NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER
CELEBRATIONS THAT WE DO,
LIKE CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING,
SO IT'S SPECIAL.
Emily says KIARA, WHAT SHINY DETAIL
DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH ISAAC
ABOUT THIS AWESOME CELEBRATION?
Kiara says WELL, AT THE DIWALI PARTY,
THERE'S GONNA BE
REALLY COOL,
COLOURFUL FIREWORKS.
Isaac says THAT'S AWESOME.
Kiara says HE SEEMS EXCITED
TO GO TO MY DIWALI PARTY.
Emily says WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD
LEARN MORE ABOUT DIWALI.
CHECK THIS OUT!
DIWALI ALSO KNOWN AS DEEPAVALI
THE CELEBRATION WELCOMES
GOOD FORTUNE INTO THE HOME.
BRIGHT LANTERNS ARE HUNG
AND SPARKLERS ARE SET OFF
TO LIGHT THE WAY
FOR THE GODDESS LAKSHMI
WHO BRINGS LUCK, WEALTH
AND PROSPERITY WITH HER.
Pictures of the celebration flash by.
She continues LAKSHMI IS THE WIFE
OF VISHNU, AND BOTH ARE
IMPORTANT PARTS OF
HINDUISM AND DIWALI.
THIS HOLIDAY IS AS SWEET
AS THEY COME, FILLED
WITH DELICIOUS INDIAN TREATS
AND FEASTS THAT ARE SHARED
WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
BEFORE YOU GO, WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
CAN'T FORGET THE PARTY PHONES.
ONE AND TWO.
HERE ARE YOUR PARTY PHONES.
Kiara says THANKS.
Isaac says COOL!
Emily says WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH,
SO I DON'T MISS A THING.
THE GOOD TIMES AWAIT
THROUGH THOSE DOORS. BYE!
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara says BYE.
Emily says AND THE COUNTDOWN TO THE PARTY
BEGINS NOW.
Kiara says MY DAD IS HINDU,
AND MY MOM IS CATHOLIC.
AND ON MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE
FAMILY, WE DO THE DIWALI PARTY.
Isaac says I'M JAMAICAN, CHINESE,
AUSTRIAN, SWISS,
IRISH AND UKRAINIAN,
BUT I'M NOT HINDU,
SO THIS IS GONNA BE INTERESTING.
(music plays)
Four kids dance around excitedly.
Kids say WHAT IS DIWALI?
Kid 1 says I HAVE NO IDEA.
Kid 2 says OH, IT'S A HOLIDAY!
Kid 1 says SHE'S THE SMARTY PANTS.
Kid 3 says KIND OF LIKE CHRISTMAS.
Kid 2 says IT IS THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.
Kid 1 says NICE!
Kids say PARTY SNACKS!
Kid 4 says THAT LOOKS LIKE SUSHI TO ME.
Kid 5 says IT LOOKS LIKE A PINK
CHEESECAKE.
Kid 4 says I LIKE THE CHERRY.
THAT LOOKS LIKE A HOT DOG!
Kid 6 says IS THIS GOOD?
Kid 5 says THIS IS AWESOME.
Kid 4 says THIS IS REALLY LIKE, ODD.
Kid 7 says A LOT OF THIS STUFF
IS VERY SWEET.
Kid 4 says I KNOW. 'CAUSE
THEY'RE INDIAN SWEETS.
Emily says PARTY HOST KIARA AND HER GUEST
ISAAC HAVE BEEN MATCHED UP.
THE EVENT IS DIWALI.
AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING
UNTIL TOMORROW SO THERE'S A BIT
OF TIME TO PLAY.
GET READY FOR PARTY PREP,
PARTY CHALLENGE
AND PARTY SURPRISE.
THE BEST PART IS THEY DON'T KNOW
WHEN ANY OF THESE ARE GONNA
BE HAPPENING.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A REVEAL?
IT'S MY SPECIALTY.
A caption reads "Party challenge."
Emily says CALL KIARA'S PARTY PHONE.
(party phone ringing)
HELLO!
Kiara and Isaac say HI, EMILY!
Emily says GREAT! YOU HAVE ARRIVED
AT YOUR DESTINATION.
LOOK FAMILIAR, KIARA?
Kiara says OF COURSE, IT'S MY HOUSE.
Emily says I WAS HOPING YOU'D ANSWER
THAT QUESTION CORRECTLY.
TIME TO TAKE YOUR PARTY DÉCOR
TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND
CREATE A RANGOLI.
Isaac says HEY, WHAT'S A RANGOLI?
Kiara says IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ART.
Emily says I'VE ARRANGED FOR MY FRIEND
PRAKASH, WHO'S ONE
OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS
I KNOW, TO SWING BY
AND GIVE YOU A HAND.
HAVE FUN! BYE!
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara says BYE.
I'VE NEVER DONE
RANGOLI BEFORE, AND TODAY'S THE
FIRST DAY I'M GOING TO DO IT.
Isaac, Kiara and Prakash sit on the floor. Prakash is in his mid-forties, clean-shaven with black hair. He wears glasses, a plaid shirt and blue jeans.
Prakash says HI, ISAAC. HI, KIRA.
Kiara and Isaac say HI, PRAKASH.
Prakash says SO WE ARE GONNA DO THE RANGOLI
TODAY. RANGOLI'S DONE DURING
THE DIWALI TIME,
AND IT'S A COLOURFUL ART.
Kiara says I LIKE DOING ART,
SO IT WAS ACTUALLY EXCITING
AND REALLY FUN.
AND I GOT TO IT WITH ISAAC.
Prakash says WANNA TOUCH IT?
TOUCH! TOUCH!
The kids touch yellow sand on a small bowl.
He continues RANGOLI, TRADITIONALLY,
IS DONE
ON A DOORSTEP
OR AN ENTRANCE.
Isaac says YEAH.
Prakash says TO WELCOME THE GUEST.
Isaac says OK.
Prakash says WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A RANGOLI,
WE PUT A COUPLE OF
DYAS
OR CANDLES ON IT.
BECAUSE IT'S SAND,
YOU CAN GENTLY PUSH IT
AND MAKE A DOT. RIGHT THERE.
Isaac says THAT'S COOL.
Kiara says WHAT WE ARE MAKING
FOR THE RANGOLI IS FLOWERS
AND DIFFERENT LINES AND DOTS.
AND THEY'RE ALL VERY COLORFUL.
AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS
YOU CAN DO THE FLOWERS
IN LINES AND DOTS.
Prakash says WE'LL CREATE A FLOWER.
ALRIGHT?
Isaac says OK.
Kiara says OK.
Prakash says SO WE GOT OUR SHAPE.
PUSH IT.
He uses a swab to draw a line on the circular sand shape.
Kiara says WHY ARE THE FLOWERS
FOR DIWALI?
Prakash says TO BE A PRESENT
AT THE GODDESS LAKSHMI.
Kiara says OHHH...
Isaac says I WAS KIND OF NERVOUS
TO LEARN RANGOLI
'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
IF I WAS GONNA LIKE IT OR NOT.
IT TURNS OUT I REALLY LIKED
RANGOLI, AND IT WAS
VERY FUN.
Prakash says SO, KIARA,
TOMORROW THERE'S GONNA BE
A BIG PARTY IN YOUR HOUSE,
AND YOU'RE GONNA DO
RANGOLI BY YOUR OWN.
Isaac says AND THEN WE GOT TO DO
OUR OWN RANGOLI.
Prakash says GUYS, IT'S RANGOLI TIME!
Isaac says IT'S RANGOLI TIME!
Prakash says YAY!
Isaac and Kiara work on their rangoli.
Kiara says I HOPE EVERYONE IS GOING
TO LOVE THE RANGOLI.
ISAAC IS FUN
AND NICE,
AND HE'S FUN TO DO
THE RANGOLI WITH.
Isaac says I WAS SHY
WHEN I MET KIARA AT FIRST,
BUT NOW I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
HANGING AROUND HER.
Kiara says TEACHING ISAAC
ABOUT MY CULTURE
WAS FUN AND INTERESTING
BECAUSE I DON'T NORMALLY
TEACH PEOPLE
ABOUT MY CULTURE.
Isaac says WHAT DO YOU WEAR
AT THE DIWALI FESTIVAL?
Kiara says UM, IT'S LIKE INDIAN TOO.
AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY
ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ONES
YOU CAN WEAR.
Isaac says COOL.
Kiara says IT'S BEEN FUN GETTING TO KNOW
ISAAC BECAUSE HE'S NOT ANNOYING
LIKE THE OTHER BOYS
IN MY SCHOOL.
Isaac says WORKING WITH KIARA WAS
VERY FUN 'CAUSE SHE HAD LOTS
OF UNIQUE AND CREATIVE IDEAS.
Kiara says WE JUST ENDED UP DOING
A WHOLE BUNCH
OF DIFFERENT FLOWERS.
IT WAS VERY COLOURFUL.
IT LOOKED REALLY PRETTY,
I THOUGHT.
Isaac says I CAN'T WAIT
FOR TOMORROW'S DIWALI PARTY.
Emily calls Kiara and Isaac.
Emily says HI, GUYS!
Isaac and Kiara say HI, EMILY.
Emily says HOW ARE MY TWO ARTISTS DOING?
Isaac says AMAZING!
Kiara says ALMOST DONE OUR RANGOLI
Emily says WELL, YOU BETTER HURRY
AND FINISH UP BECAUSE THERE'S
A COUPLE MORE ACTIVITIES
PLANNED FOR YOU. ISAAC, WE'VE
GOT TO GET YOU MEASURED UP
AND, KIARA, THINGS ARE ABOUT
TO GET SCRUMPTIOUS FOR YOU.
TEXTING YOU THE DETAILS NOW.
Isaac says BYE, EMILY.
Emily says BYE.
Kids say RANGOLI!
Kid 1 says I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
THAT GOES ON PIZZA.
Kid 3 says IT'S THIS KIND OF BREAD
THAT YOU SQUISH
JELLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
JAM. I DON'T KNOW.
Kid 4 says MAYBE IT'S A PASTA.
Kid 2 says TORTELLINI?
Kid 3 says OR PENNE?
Kid 1 says OR SPAGHETTI?
They laugh.
Kid 4 says YOU PUT
SANDY FLOWERS
IN THE FRONT
OF YOUR DOORSTEP.
Kids say FAVOURITE PARTY DECORATIONS!
Kid 1 says BALLOON!
Kid 2 says THOSE THINGS
WHERE YOU GO LIKE...
(tooting)
Kid 3 says GOODY BAGS!
Kid 1 says I'VE NEVER "BLEW" UP A BALLOON
IN MY LIFE THOUGH I TRIED.
Kid 3 says HOW?
They play with balloons.
Kid 4 says NO MORE DROP.
NO MORE DROPPING.
OH NO! NO!
At Party HQ, Emily says KIARA AND ISAAC
HAVE COMPLETED
THE RANGOLI CHALLENGE,
AND NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE NEXT REVEAL.
ISAAC WILL BE GETTING
A DIWALI-INSPIRED MAKEOVER,
AND KIARA, SHE'S IN CHARGE
OF A DELICIOUS FOOD FISH.
TIME TO SHARE THE NEWS!
CALL ISAAC'S PARTY PHONE.
ISAAC!
Isaac stands in an Indian clothing store.
Isaac says HI, EMILY.
Emily says YOU MADE IT TO YOUR
NEXT STOP, OM DEEPAM. ARE
YOU READY FOR YOUR SURPRISE?
Isaac says YEAH!
Emily says GREAT! I'VE ASKED ANN,
THE OWNER OF THE STORE,
TO HELP YOU FIND AN OUTFIT
FOR THE PARTY. YOU GAME?
Isaac says YEAH, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
Emily says HAHAHAHA! HAPPY SHOPPING!
Isaac says I LOVE SHOPPING.
BYE, EMILY.
Emily says BYE, ISAAC.
Isaac says OM DEEPAM IS
A REALLY COOL STORE
WHERE I PICKED UP MY KURTA.
AT OM DEEPAM, I SAW
LOTS OF DIFFERENT COLOURS,
JEWELRY, HATS, SHOES,
KURTAS AND INDIAN DRESSES.
HELLO. HI.
Ann and Isaac shake hands. Ann is in her forties, with short black hair. She wears glasses, a white necklace and a red and gold dress over black trousers.
Ann says OH, HELLO, ISAAC. HOW ARE YOU?
Isaac says GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
Ann says I'M ANN. NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'VE HEARD YOU'RE HERE
FOR A KURTA.
Isaac says YEAH.
Ann says DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT KURTA?
Isaac says NO.
Ann says WELL, IT'S AN INDIAN WEAR,
AND WE WEAR IT
FOR VERY SPECIAL OCCASIONS,
LIKE DIWALI,
WEDDINGS, ALL THE BIG CEREMONIES
AND FUNCTIONS.
Isaac says A KURTA IS AN INDIAN SUIT
THAT MEN WEAR FOR DIWALI.
A caption reads "Lakshmi equals Hindu goddess."
Touching a small statue, Ann says THIS IS LAKSHMI.
SO THIS IS WHAT
DIWALI IS ALL ABOUT.
SHE IS THE MOTHER OF HEALTH,
WEALTH AND PROSPERITY.
WE ALL NEED HER. SHE'S MONEY.
THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HER.
AND THIS IS
A VERY, VERY SPECIAL FLOWER.
IT'S CALLED A LOTUS FLOWER.
She opens a pink flower.
Isaac says I LEARNED A LOT
ABOUT DIWALI FROM ANN.
LIKE, THE LOTUS FLOWER CAME
ALL THE WAY FROM INDIA,
AND YOU GIVE IT TO LAKSHMI
ON DIWALI
AS, LIKE, AN OFFERING.
SO THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
Ann says YEAH. GO AHEAD.
PERFECT! IT'S PERFECT!
THAT'S IT.
Isaac says I GOT TO OFFER A FLOWER
TO A GODDESS.
Ann says WE CAN GO NOW AND LOOK
AT THE KURTAS.
Isaac says ALL RIGHT.
Isaac tries on a red and white kurta and strikes multiple poses.
Isaac says I'M EXCITED TO SURPRISE KIARA
WITH MY KURTA.
I DIDN'T LIKE THE SHOES.
MY FEET WERE KIND OF LIKE
CRAMPED INSIDE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WALKING
IN THOSE FOR LIKE A WHOLE DAY.
Isaac poses for some pictures in a lounge chair.
Isaac says I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW'S
PARTY! I'LL LOOK AWESOME!
Kids say NAME THIS FLOWER!
Kid 6 says I DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Kid 5 says WATERLILY.
Kid 7 says I THINK IT'S A LOTUS
BECAUSE OF THE PETALS.
Kid 6 says HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Kid 7 says MY DAD HAS A LOT OF PICTURES
OF LOTUSES IN HIS PHONE.
Kid 5 says I STILL THINK
IT'S A WATERLILY.
Kid 7 says IT'S DEFINITELY NOT.
Kids say LAKSHMI!
Kid 6 says I THINK IT'S
THE BAD GUY WHO, IF YOU LOOK
STRAIGHT INTO HER EYES,
SHE MAKES YOU INTO STONE.
Kid 7 says THAT'S MEDUSA.
Kid 6 says MEDUSA THEN.
Kid 5 says NO. MEDUSA HAS SNAKES.
SHE'S FROM INDIA.
Kid 8 says SHE IS AN INDIAN GOD.
Kid 7 says SHE'S ALSO SITTING ON A LOTUS.
Kids say WHAT'S HER NAME?
Kid 8 says LAKSHMI.
Kid 6 says "LAKASHMI."
They say LAK... SAY LAK.
LAK.
SCHMI.
SCHMI.
Kid 5 says NOW SAY ALL TOGETHER.
Kid 6 says LAKASHMI.
Kid 8 says NO!
Emily says ISAAC IS FINALIZING
THE LOOK FOR HIS DIWALI OUTFIT.
NOW, LET'S CHECK IN
WITH KIARA.
SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO WASH UP
FOR HER NEXT TASK.
The caption changes to "Party Prep."
Emily says CALL KIARA'S PARTY PHONE.
HI!
Back at Kiara's house, she says HEY, EMILY.
Emily says YOU READY FOR PARTY PREP?
TIME TO COOK UP SOME KORMA.
Kiara says THIS IS NOT GONNA BE EASY.
Emily says FEAR NOT, I'VE GOT YOU.
I'VE ASKED YOUR MOM
TO HELP YOU OUT.
Kiara whispers I BELIEVE
MY MOM CAN'T COOK.
Emily says HAHAHAHA!
WELL, THIS IS ONE SWEET
I'M SURE YOU CAN BOTH MASTER.
YOU'VE GOT THIS, KIARA.
BYE.
Kiara says BYE, EMILY.
Kiara's mom is in her forties, with black hair in a long ponytail. She wears a purple shirt and silver hoop earrings.
In the kitchen, Mom says HI, KIARA.
Kiara says HI, MOMMY.
Holding a bowl, Mom says THIS IS THE KORMA
THAT GRANDMA MADE, BUT WE'RE
GONNA MAKE OUR OWN KORMA TODAY.
Kiara says OH, I LOVE GRANDMA'S KORMA.
Mom says WELL, TODAY WE'RE GONNA
COOK, KIARA,
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE SURPRISED.
Kiara says KORMA IS A TYPE OF SWEET
WE EAT DURING DIWALI.
Mom says WE'RE GONNA
MIX ALL THIS TOGETHER,
THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A LITTLE NICE DOUGH,
AND WE'RE GONNA ROLL IT OUT.
THEN, WE'RE GONNA CUT IT
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA FRY IT.
Kiara says ALL RIGHT.
I'M SHOCKED
MY MOM ACTUALLY CAN COOK.
DO I MIX IT HARD OR, LIKE, SLOW?
Mom says MIX IT SLOWLY 'CAUSE WE DON'T
WANT THE FLOUR GOING
ALL OVER THE PLACE, RIGHT?
Kiara says OH, OK.
THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF STEPS.
WE REALLY JUST HAD TO ADD
SOME EVAPORATED MILK
INTO THE FLOUR
AND THEN MIX IT UP
AND THEN PUT SOME BUTTER
AND WATER INSIDE.
CAN I PUT MY HANDS IN HERE?
Mom says SURE. OK.
GO ON. MIX IT UP.
MAKE IT INTO A NICE, BIG BALL.
ARE YOUR HANDS CLEAN?
Kiara says YES.
Mom says OK, GOOD.
Kiara says THE DOUGH WAS LIKE
ALL SQUISHY AND GOOEY,
AND IT WAS FUN. ROARRR!
IT WAS VERY MESSY
MAKING THE KORMA.
I AM EXCITED TO SHARE
THE KORMA WITH ISAAC
BECAUSE HE'S NEVER
TRIED IT BEFORE.
AND I HOPE HE LIKES IT.
DIWALI IS ONE
OF MY FAVOURITE FESTIVALS
AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO EAT ALL THE GOOD SWEETS.
Mom says I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT
ALL THE GOOD SWEETS EITHER
AND ALL THE YUMMY FOOD.
Kiara says WHEN WE HAVE DIWALI,
IT'S MOSTLY VEGETARIAN FOOD,
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE,
LIKE, RICE AND EGGPLANT.
MY FAVOURITE THING TO EAT
IN DIWALI
IS ACTUALLY THE KORMA.
Korma fries in some oil.
Mom says SO HERE'S ALL THE KORMA
ALL FRIED UP,
AND I'M GONNA POUR THIS IN HERE
WITH THE SYRUP. OK? SO WE'RE
GONNA PUT THIS IN THERE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA
HELP ME MIX IT?
Kiara says ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO TOMORROW.
WE HAVE TO
DECORATE THE HOUSE,
PUT EVERYTHING ON DISPLAY,
LIKE THE FOOD
AND THE RANGOLI,
AND I HAVE TO GET DRESSED.
MMM! IT TASTES GOOD.
Mom says VERY GOOD!
IS IT BETTER THAN GRANDMA'S?
Kiara says NO.
Mom chuckles.
Kiara says THE KORMA WE'VE MADE WAS
ALMOST BETTER THAN MY GRANDMA'S,
FOR HER FIRST TIME.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER THOUGH.
Mom says SO WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP, KIARA,
'CAUSE TOMORROW'S DIWALI
AND WE HAVE TO GET READY.
Kiara says OK.
Mom says OK, LET'S GO.
Kiara and her mom leave the kitchen to get ready.
Emily says IT'S PARTY DAY!
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CROSSED OFF
THE TO-DO LIST.
PARTY PREP, PARTY SURPRISE
AND PARTY CHALLENGE
HAVE ALL BEEN COMPLETED.
ALL THAT'S LEFT
IS THE CELEBRATION.
KIARA AND ISAAC HAVE BEEN
GETTING READY FOR ALL THE FUN,
AND I FOR ONE AM READY
FOR A FEAST.
LET'S NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME.
LET THE FESTIVAL
OF LIGHTS BEGIN!
The caption changes to "Party time."
Kiara says IT'S MY PARTY!
(doorbell ringing)
Kiara and her parents prepare their home for the Diwali party. They light candles, assemble the food and hang flower decorations before the guests arrive.
A guest says HI. HI.
HAPPY DIWALI TO EACH
AND EVERYONE.
Kiara says HI. DROP IN.
Mom says HI.
Kiara says HI, ETHAN.
Ethan says HI!
Another guest says HAPPY DIWALI.

Mom says TWO HOURS?!
Isaac says THEY SAID IT WAS REALLY,
REALLY BEAUTIFUL, WHICH I LIKED.
Kiara says AND COLOURFUL. YEAH.
Isaac says COLOURFUL.
WE DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON IT
FOR OUR FIRST TIME.
Guests clap and say VERY GOOD!
WELL DONE!
JOB WELL DONE.
Mom says OK, GUYS, YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET'S GO. LET'S EAT.
Isaac says YEAH, LET'S GO!
MY FAVOURITE PART
WAS THE FOOD.
Delicious-looking curries, rice dishes and sweet treats are laid out on the dinner table. Kiara's family and friends dig in filling their plates with all the food.
A guest says WHERE'S THAT RICE?
PLEASE DON'T EAT ALL OF IT.
Isaac says MAYBE, MAYBE THE...
MAYBE THE RICE.
Kiara says WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?
Isaac says I LIKED THE CHICKPEAS
AND THE RICE 'CAUSE IT REMINDED
ME OF BUTTER CHICKEN.
They all eat, chat and enjoy themselves at the party.
Guest 1 says IT'S VERY GOOD.
Kiara' s mom says ISAAC, YOUR MOM
SAID IT'S TIME TO GO.
Kiara says CAN YOU PASS ME ONE OF THEM?
Emily says DIWALI, HERE I COME.
Isaac says I ENJOY IT, YEAH.

Kiara says THIS IS RICE, NAAN,
SALAD, CAULIFLOWER, AND CURRY.
Emily says OK. WELL, I'M GONNA DIG

ISAAC'S YOUR VIP PARTY GUEST;
HOW DID HE DO?
Kiara says HE DID A GOOD JOB
FOR HIS FIRST TIME.
Emily says YEAH? AND HOW DO YOU FEEL

Isaac says AWESOME! IT'S MY FIRST TIME
BEING A VIP, SO I'M HAPPY.
Emily says SO WHAT DO YOU THINK

Isaac says WELL, EVERYBODY'S BEEN
SO NICE TO ME.
SO THAT'S WHAT I APPRECIATE
ABOUT EVERYBODY HERE.
IT'S BEEN AWESOME.
EMILY IS FUN!
Kiara says GRANDMA, DO YOU WANT
TO TRY MY KORMA?
With short wavy black hair and a red blouse, Grandma says OH, I WOULD LOVE TO.
Kiara says I THINK THE KORMA
TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD.
Grandma says WOW, IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.
JUST LIKE MINE.
They all chuckle.
Kiara says MY GRANDMA THOUGHT
IT WAS ALMOST BETTER THAN HERS.
Mom says WE SAY THANK YOU.
Isaac says THANK YOU.
Kiara says WHAT DID YOU THINK

HAD A GOOD TIME.
Emily says WOOO!
Isaac says IT WAS JUST... EPIC.
(Indian dance music plays)
All the kids at the party dance around the living room while the adults cheer and clap.
Isaac says DANCING WAS KIND OF SCARY
AT FIRST, BUT THEN I KIND OF
GOT INTO IT
AND STARTED DANCING SOME MORE.
Kiara says HE DID A PRETTY
GOOD JOB DANCING.
Isaac says YOU DID A GOOD JOB TOO.
Kiara says THANKS.
(applause)
I WOULD LOVE TO INVITE
ISAAC AGAIN TO ONE OF MY
OTHER DIWALI PARTIES.

I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO ANOTHER
DIWALI PARTY IN THE FUTURE.
Isaac and Kiara say HAPPY DIWALI!
Isaac and Kiara take a selfie and Emily gives out a round of high-fives.
Emily says DIWALI,
THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS!
NOW, THIS IS A PARTY! THERE ARE
SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES
OF CELEBRATIONS
HAPPENING ALL AROUND US,
