♪ Hello.

Welcome to the show.

Today, we're meeting an amazing athlete.. Xavier/Yadina: Billie Jean King.

Yadina: Billie Jean loves to play sports Xavier: Especially tennis.

Yadina: But when she was little, not everyone knew how awesome girls could be at sports.

Xavier: Pretty silly, huh?

Good thing Billie Jean was around... Brad: She showed everyone, that girls and boys can do the same things!

Yadina: Like play t-ball.

Ugh!

Xavier: And tennis!

Ugh!

Brad: And dance!

♪♪ ♪ Dah ba doop, dah ba doop, bop, yaaah!♪ Aaaaaah!

(click) Yadina: The first day of after-school activities is so exciting!

Brad: (nods) I signed up for ballet!

I think it'll really help me be more graceful.

Xavier: Say cheese!

Yadina/Brad: Uaaaah!

Xavier: I'm joining the photography club!

Yadina: Maybe they'll teach you when not to use the flash.

Xavier: Oh, sorry.

Have fun in ballet, Brad!

(doors opens and closes) ♪ (classical piano music) ♪ Brad: It's all...girls?

Where are all the other boys?

♪♪ Aghh!

(door slams) Guys?

Wait up.

Yadina: Brad?

Why aren't you in ballet?

Brad: (sigh) It's just for girls.

Xavier: What?

No, it's not!

Brad: Well, there aren't any boys in there!

Maybe I should just sign up for something else like.. ... T-ball.

T-ball is a boy thing, right?

Yadina: Whaddaya mean boy thing?

I play T-ball and I'm definitely a girl.

Xavier: There aren't "boy things" or "girl things".

Anyone can do ballet!

Brad: I don't know... Yadina: This is a problem.

And you know where we go to solve problems... Xavier/Yadina: To the Secret Museum!

Brad: But, time travel is definitely not a Brad thing!

(sigh) Wait up!

♪ (playful music) ♪ ♪♪ Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

Woaaaah!

Yadina: Look out below!

Xavier: Woohooo!

Xavier/Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Berby: He-lo.

Brad: Hi, Berby.

Berby: (bleep blarp) Upff!

Xavier: (humming) Berby: Whooo!

(blarp bloop) We're getting something!

Yadina: It's a tennis racquet.

Brad: I wonder who it belonged to?

Berby: (blarp) Xavier: Billie Jean King.

That's who we're going to meet!

Berby: Mhmm.

Yadina: In California!

In 1953.

Brad: That's almost 70 years ago!

I hope Billie Jean King can help me figure out what club to join.

Xavier: Only one way to find out... Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Super ready!

Brad: (sigh) Sorta ready?

Berby: (bloop bloop bloop, yippee) Yadina: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on Dr. Zoom.

Xavier: Woohoo!

Brad: Uaaaah!

Berby: Whoohooo!

(zap) Xavier: So, this is California in 1953?

Yadina: Hm.

Looks very department-store-y.

Brad: Ah.

And cozy!

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Yadina: Oh Brad.

Billie Jean King: Excuse me!

Berby: (surprised) Just looking for something... Nah, uh, not here.

Berby: (burrs) Yadina: Hey, that's Billie Jean King!

Berby: Mhmm!

Brad: It is?

Wha-!

Woah!

Billie Jean King: You okay?

Brad: Uh, hi.. yes!

Uhm, I was just, ah, looking at these awesome stuffies!

Berby: Uh oh!

Billie Jean King: Cool!

I'm looking for something awesome, too.

See you later!

Brad: Hmm.

Maybe a pair of ballet shoes?

Billie Jean King: Those are awesome, but, not what I'm looking for.

Hey, why don't you try them on?

Brad: Ok!

♪ (classical music) ♪ Billie Jean King: Ah, not that.

Ah no, not it either... Hmmm.. Hmmm.

Egh!

Brad: I got this!

Oops!

(bouncing) Yadina: Wow!

Impressive!

Billie Jean King: Oh!

Mind putting this back?

Xavier: Just stating the obvious here, but Billie Jean, you are good at sports!

Billie Jean: Thanks!

I'll bet more girls would play sports, if people didn't think they were a "boy thing."

Yadina: A "boy thing"?

That's plain silly!

Billie Jean King: I know!

After all, girls and boys can do the same things.

A-ha!

Now this is what I was looking for.

And it's my favorite color!

Xavier: The tennis racquet, from the Secret Museum!

Billie Jean King: I just love tennis...

The running, the jumping, the getting to smack a ball with all my might...

I'm going to play forever.

Brad: Huh.

She really likes tennis!

Maybe I should do that instead of ballet?

Boys play tennis, right?

Xavier: Well sure, but... Berby: (burrs) Yadina: I think Berby has something else in mind... Berby: Whoohooo!

Brad: Woah!

Woaaah!

Where are we?

When are we?

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Xavier: Berby says we're in Texas, 20 years later.

Yadina: Hey, there's Billie Jean!

Well, a picture of her.

She must be inside.

Let's go!

Yadina: Billie Jean!

What's going on?

Billie Jean King: Hey!

I'm about to play a big tennis match.

Xavier: And all these people came to watch!

Cool!

Yadina: So cool!

Billie Jean King: Yup!

Even though some people still think sports are for boys.

And that he can beat me just because he's a boy.

Yadina: What?

Xavier: But, that's ridiculous!

Brad: Yeah!

Billie Jean King: I know.

That's why I'm going to play him.

If I win, maybe more people will see that girls and boys can do the same things.

Whether it's tennis, baseball, or dancing.

Well, time to get out there.

Xavier: Good luck, Billie Jean!

Yadina: C'mon, let's go cheer her on!

Billie Jean King.

And she still does today!

Xavier: Because, it doesn't matter if you're a boy.

Yadina: Or a girl.

Brad: Everyone should get to play what they love.

Because everyone is equal.

Xavier: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure to meet Billie Jean King.

Brad: Who used to be a kid, just like you and me.

Yadina: So kids like you can change the world!

I am Yadina.

Xavier: I am Xavier.

And I know that girls and boys can do the same things.

Just like Billie Jean King!

Xavier: Hi there.

Welcome to the show!

Today we're meeting someone super talented... Brad: Arthur Ashe.

Yeah!

Ugh!

Yadina: Arthur was born in the year 1943, and he grew up to be an incredible tennis player.

Xavier: But along the way, he wasn't always treated very well, just because of the color of his skin.

Yadina: It wasn't fair at all.

Brad: But Arthur knew, the only way things were going to get better, was if everyone played together.

(low rumble) All: Uaaah!

Xavier: Oh-oh!

Speaking of better, maybe we better start the show... (click) (kids giggling) Ready or not, here I come!

I'm gonna get you.

(laughter) Yadina: Can't catch me!

Xavier Gotcha!

Yadina: Aww!

Xavier: You're frozen.

I'm going to get you Brad.

Brad: Can't catch me.

Uaaah!

Xavier: Woah!

Jamie: Oh!

I'm sorry.

Brad: That's OK. Xavier: Yeah!

You helped me tag Brad.

...and tag!

Brad: Haha!

Jamie: Hey, are you playing freeze tag?

Yadina: Yeah, it's our favorite.

Jamie: Me, too!

Can I play?

Brad: Um.. Yadina: We've never played freeze tag with anyone else before... Brad: We usually just play together.

Xavier: And, we make up our own rules.

So, you wouldn't really know how... Jamie: Oh.

Okay.

Xavier: Guys, this does not feel right.

Brad: I hope we didn't hurt her feelings.

Yadina: We always play freeze tag just us.

But, maybe we should have let her play, too?

Brad: What do we do?

Xavier/Yadina: To the Secret Museum!

Brad: Oh, ah... Xavier tagged me, so, no time travel for me!

Frozen.

Yadina/Xavier: (giggles) Yadina: Nice try Brad.

Brad: (sighs) Wait for me!

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

Yadina: Look out below!

Xavier: Woohoo!

Xavier/Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Berby: (bleep blarp) Brad: Hi Berby!

Berby: (bleep blarp) Upff!

Xavier: (humming) Berby: Whooo!

Xavier: We're getting something!

Brad: A tennis racquet?

Yadina: I don't think the Secret Museum gets how freeze tag works.

You tag people with your hands, not a racquet.

Berby: (bleearp) Xavier: That's who we're going to meet, Arthur Ashe.

Yadina: In Virginia!

Brad: In 1952.

...Over 50 years ago!

Yadina: I wonder if Arthur Ashe can tell us what to do about the girl who wants to play with us.

Xavier: Only one way to find out... Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready!

Brad: Not really!

...But okay.

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Yadina: Here we go!

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Brad: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on Dr. Zoom!

Xavier: Woohoo!

Brad: Woaaaaah!

Berby: Whoohooo!

♪ (zap) (burrs) Xavier: Heeey, we're on a tennis court!

Berby: (doop-be-doop-be-doop) Brad/Yadina/Xavier: (gasp) Xavier: Heads Up!

Brad: Aaaah!

Yadina: Ay-ya!

Brad: Upff!

Arthur Ashe: Hi.

Sorry about that.

Didn't see you there before I hit the ball!

Berby: (blarp bloop) Brad: Hey, that's Arthur Ashe!

Yadina: And his racquet.

Arthur: I was just getting warmed up for the big tennis tournament today.

Are you guys playing in it?

Xavier: Us?

No, we haven't really played tennis before.

Yadina: But we'll help you warm up!

Brad: Totally!

Xavier: Yeah, sure!

Arthur: You want to play with me?

Xavier: Yeah!

Can we?

Arthur: Um.. of course!

It's better when we all play together.

C'mon!

So here's how you play tennis: One person uses their racquet to hit the ball over the net.

The person on the other side tries to hit it back.

If you get the ball past the other person and it lands inside the lines, you score a point.

Get it?

Xavier/Brad/Yadina: Got it!

Yadina: Dr. Zoom can be the referee, and keep track of all the points we score!

Dr. Zoom: (squeek) Yadina: Let's do this!

(crash) Brad: I don't think Dr. Zoom has to worry about us scoring points.

♪♪ Xavier: Uaaaah!

Brad: Ugh!

♪♪ Yadina: Ugh!

Brad: Woaw, weah!

♪♪ Xavier: Ugh!

Woah!!

Brad: Arthur, you're really good at tennis!

Agh-agh!

(crash) Cat: Meow!

Brad: Or we're really bad at it.

Yadina: Either way, this is so much fun!

Dr. Zoom says I'm definitely getting better.

I almost hit the ball over the net last time!

Arthur: You're doing great!

Just keep your racquet up when you swing.

Yadina: Ok. Hey, I did it!

Brad: Woohoo!

Xavier: Good Job!

Arthur: Awesome!

Isn't tennis great?

And definitely better when we all play together.

(gasps!)

The big tournament!

It's time to go.

Come on!

♪♪ (rackets hitting tennis ball) I would like to play in the tennis tournament please!

Tennis Official: Sorry kid, this one isn't for you.

Rules are rules.

Brad: Rules?

Xavier: I don't get it.

Arthur is really good, why can't he play?

Arthur: (sighs) It's not right, but a lot of parks here separate people based on the colour of their skin.

No matter how good you are, if you're not white, you're not allowed to play here.

Yadina: But that's a totally unfair rule!

Arthur: I know.

I wish they could see that it's better when we all play together.

Maybe one of these days, I'll show them just that.

Xavier: I wonder if Arthur ever does it.

You know... help change things.

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Brad: Whoaaaaa.

Whoa, where are we?

When are we?

Berby: (blarp bloop) Xavier: Berby says, we're in Virginia, at another tennis tournament.

Five years later.

Yadina: (gasps) And there's Arthur.. Brad: Arthur!

You're allowed to play with everyone else now?

Arthur: Yes!

Today is my first integrated tournament.

Yadina: What's inta..gur..ated mean?

Arthur: Integrated means everyone gets to play, no matter what colour skin they have.

Yadina: That's great!

Just like it should be.

Arthur: Exactly!

Well, wish me luck!

Xavier: Have fun!

Brad: Good luck!

Yadina: You can do it!

Arthur: Hi, I'm Arthur.

Want to practice together before the tournament starts?

Tennis Boy: Sorry, but..

I usually just practice with my friends.

Arthur: Oh.

Well, I could join you.

It's better when we all play together.

Right?

Boy: Uh, sorry.
