-[chuckling] -Guys, I heard the funniest joke today.
-So the guy… -[all] Huh?
[clears throat] Uh… Karma!
Oh, my gosh! You're really her!
You're Karma Grant.
The Karma Grant.
[chuckles] That's me. Can I help you?
Keys, you said you'd tell her.
All right, all right. Karma, this is Neha.
She's in my class, and she has a lot to say.
And I'm your biggest fan.
I have fans?
Ya-ha! I'm the president of your fan club, the Karma Charmas.
Wow! How many members does it have?
Well, it's just me for now,
btu soon it'll be thousands.
Uh, like, probably millions!
Can't be much of a Karma fan club,
if it doesn't have Karma's first fan as a member.
Sorry, Winston, to be a Charma,
you have to beat the Karma Charma Challenge.
But if you do, you get one of these.
[Neha] A Karma Charma pin.
Whoa!
I have this podcast called 99 with Neha
where I interview musicians.
-Hm. -Would you… come on my show
and answer some questions about your music?
Sure. Anything for a fan.
[gasps] Yay! 99 questions with Karma Grant!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Uh, did she say 99 questions?
Here we are on the stoop where Karma sits and thinks sometimes.
-Ooh! -[camera shutter clicks]
And for even more Karma facts,
you can buy our premium package for the low, low price
of one bag of pickle chips.
[whimpers, barks]
[camera shutter clicks]
-[Neha gasps] -Hey, Neha.
Hi, Karma.
[gasps] Look! We have such cool jackets!
Cool-jacket twins!
Uh… they are pretty cool, aren't they?
Well, I'm helping Lady K at the studio today, so…
I can walk with you and we can get started on some of these questions.
Uh, whoa, sure.
[grunts] Question one.
How did it feel to save the community garden with music?
Oh, it felt really great, especially 'cause I got to sing with my mom.
Follow-up: When was the first time you sang with your mom?
Well, I started when I--
Ooh! Follow, follow-up: Did you ever think that…?
-…nineteen. How did you…? -Well, I better get downstairs.
[chuckles] Bye, Neha.
Wait, Karma, before you go,
can I have your autograph?
-Uh… -[phone trills]
Oh, an autograph?
Of course.
-And here. -Oh, hey, Lady K.
-And there. -I didn't see you there.
I'm busy signing autographs for my fan, Neha.
-Nice to meet you, Neha. -Hello.
Did you want me to sign anything?
[Neha] Nah, that's OK. And there. And there. Oh, and there.
All right. Gotta go.
Wait, Karma!
Can you answer some more questions later?
Oh, right. More questions.
Just numbers 19 through 99.
-Sure. See ya. -[chuckles]
Bye, Lady K.
-[Winston] Two, three-- -Uh, Winnie?
Oh, hey, Karma. Hoo.
Just about to do the Karma Charma Challenge.
That pin is mine!
We'll see about that!
Do the Full-Out Dance Team's signature moves,
while reciting ten facts about Karma!
One: Karma was our class president for a week.
Two: The secret ingredient in Karma's dad's barbecue sauce
is love, I think?
Three… Karma almost changed her name to, uh, Vincent.
Four, five, six. [sighs]
[gasps] Did I do it?
Did I get the pin?
Sorry, Winston. Not enough facts.
-No! -It's OK, Win.
Let's go play basketball.
Whoo! I'll come with to ask more questions!
Question 31: In your song about Major being a hero,
you mentioned him being smelly.
-Can you confirm? -Uh, yeah.
Question 32…
[Karma chuckles]
-Huh! Whoa! -Question 56.
-Question 82. -[screams]
-Huh? -Question 94!
Question, question, question, question…
So, Karma, are you free to do Neha's 99 lightning round
tonight at the community center?
[sighs] Sure, Neha.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Whoo!
Um, do we have a math-slash-gym test tomorrow?
No, I'm training to redo the Karma Challenge.
[Winston] Do you have any allergies? And do you like birds?
-What about lizards? -Oh, no more questions, Winnie.
I've been answering them non-stop for Neha all day!
I know I said I'd answer all her questions,
but I wish I could get a break from my biggest fan.
Sorry I'm late.
No worries. Let's start.
-[microphone beeps] -Welcome back to 99 with Neha.
Karma, are you ready for Neha's Super Speed Lightning round?
-I guess. -Answer as fast as you can.
Question 95: MC Grillz or Nelly Partridge?
Um, I like them both.
Oh. OK.
Question 96: Purple scones or--
What was that?
Sorry. Hungry. Hm-mm.
Purple scones or…?
-Mmm. -Or barbecue chips.
Oh, do you want some?
No, thank you!
Question 97…
Hey, Karma, wanna play foosball?
Uh… Hey, I'm just gonna take a quick break.
-Hey, guys, wait up. -We still need to finish the questions.
Uh, Karma, who's that?
Just some little kid who's been following me around all day.
But I'm down to play.
-[indistinct chatter] -[laughter]
[sighs]
See you later.
Huh. I guess she ran out of questions.
Oh. Hey, Neha.
So, where'd you go last night?
You didn't wanna answer my questions, so I bounced.
-Oh, I-- -I just wished you told me.
I could have interviewed someone else.
[sighs] But I'd already answered your questions all day.
I know. I'm just some little kid following you around, right?
-No, that's not what I-- -Look, I cam 'cause I need to tell you.
I don't wanna be president of the Karma Charmas anymore.
So I won't need this! Hm!
-Huh? -Wait.
I'm offering a great deal on embarrassing Karma baby photos!
[sighs]
I really messed up with Neha.
[raps] ♪ I don't know who that is but she looks like me ♪
♪ So big and heroic, could I be? ♪
♪ All these expectations of what should I be ♪
♪ A great leader to my fans, would I be? ♪
♪ I'm just doing my own thing and I love to write ♪
♪ Never knew that I could touch another person's life ♪
♪ Never wanted to be anybody's hero ♪
♪ But it sure beats feeling like a zero ♪
[Lady K] Karma? Karma!
[chuckles] Practicing your autograph for your fan?
I don't think she wants my autograph anymore.
[sighs]
Neha was disappointed 'cause I didn't really take her interview seriously.
I feel bad for letting her down,
but she was kinda getting on my nerves.
So what happened?
She totally changed.
She used to be happy and excited.
Now, she sounds like me
when I blew off her questions.
Oh, she was copying all the things I said to her.
You have people listening to your voice now, Karma.
Some of them are gonna look up to you.
But I didn't ask her to look up--
You might not always wanna be their hero,
but you can always choose to be someone you admire.
So, who do you wanna be?
The kind of person who helps inspire other kids.
[sighs] And I definitely didn't do that.
You know, I don't admire the Karma I was last night,
but I think I can fix that.
Um, hi, Neha.
What do you want, Karma?
[sighs] I'm really, really sorry
about how I acted yesterday.
You took the time to ask me about my music,
and I didn't give you that same respect back.
[sniffles] It wasn't very nice.
I know, but if you'll let me,
I wanna make it up to you.
I'm performing a new song,
and I want my biggest fan on stage to sing it with me.
[gasps] Wow! Really?
That would be my dream!
Ugh! And I don't wanna eat any more barbecue chips!
[chuckling]
Check it out, Hansberry.

Wow! That song might be my favorite yet.
And I have a lot of favorites.
Like one of my favorites is--
Neha, wait.
There's one more thing.
My fan club still needs a president.
[gasps] I'll do it!
I can never leave the Charmas hanging.
