(Coming up in this video)
You should do dance with me after school.
It's only two days a week and it's so much fun.
I've been looking for an activity that sounds like a great idea.
Oh, my gosh. Aliyah Charles? You to go to this school?
Here we go again.
Must be a new kid this year.
I'm not her, but I get that a lot.
Yeah. Can't you tell the difference? She's not even her height.
Oh, really? I'm sure that's what the real
Aliyah Charles would say. I don't buy it.
Well, that's a new one.
Yeah, and I'm sure that's not the last of it.
So how do you like Rebel High so far? It's great.
Are there any other famous students that go here besides Aliyah Charles?
Oh, you must be talking about Jada.
Everybody thinks she looks just like her.
Oh, I've read about celebrities who use fake names in school.
But I'll keep quiet.
Mom, dad. There you are.
Can I do dance after school?
I think that sounds like a terrific idea.
How much is it? It's free.
It's part of the school arts program.
Well, in that case, I'm all for it.
How many days a week is it?
I don't want it interfering with your studies.
Oh, it's just Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.
Well, in that case, it sounds like a lot of fun.
As long as you keep your grades up. Great.
And while I have you, I have one more question.
I know I've asked you this before.
Is this about the famous singer again?
You mean Aliyah Charles?
Is that what you're talking about?
Yes. The kids keep saying I look like her.
Is there any chance our families are related?
No, we're not related.
Not even a chance.
OK.
I just thought I'd ask. again
I'm gonna go do my homework.
how long are we supposed to keep this a secret?
You know, we're not supposed to tell her till she's 18.
It's just so hard.
Everyone thinks Jada looks like her
favorite pop singer, Aliyah Charles.
Is it possible that they're related?
Aliyah, we have to go to rehearsal.
The show's tonight.
I don't feel well.
I can't make it.
Sweetie, what's wrong?
I don't know what it is.
I feel tired, scratchy and really dizzy.
Well, you're going to have to lay down.
Don't worry about it.
We'll reschedule tonight's show.
You guys are never going to believe who I just saw in the hallway.
Who's that?
Aliyah Charles, the pop star.
That's not Aliyah,
That's Jada. She's gone here for like two years.
Some people think it's Aliyah, but I really know it's Jada.
I know it's really JADA and I can prove it.
Oh, really? How can you do that?
Well, have you ever seen them in the same room at once?
I didn't think so.
She's got a good point.
Yeah, I know. We can make her sing.
Well, what if Jada pretends to be bad?
Yeah, because if it gets out, this place is going to be overrun with fans.
Oh, yeah. Rebel High. Home of the Stars.
I like the sound of that.
I'm new around here, so I think I'm the best judge.
New kids!
What are they know?
No celebrity discussion. We got science to take care of.
JADA. Did you hear the news?
Aliyah is in the hospital, she had to cancel her latest show.
Oh no, the tour!
I hope she's OK.
Aliyah, thank you for coming in.
Got some results for you.
Oh, good doctor, because I'm not sure what to do.
It turns out you have a rare condition known as Plusteria.
Plusteria?
That sounds serious.
It can be serious without the proper treatment.
But the good news is it's very treatable with stem cells.
STEM cells. What's that?
We treat it with stem cells from a close biological donor.
And the results are quite good.
Where do we find this close biological donor?
Well, typically, it's a healthy family member, preferably a brother or sister.
Oh, no, I'm adopted.
What am I going to do?
Well, all is not lost.
We're going to have to search for a biological match or volunteer.
Do you think if the news gets out about my condition, it might help find someone?
Actually, I think that's our best shot.
Aliyah has a condition and needs to find a donor to get well.
In entertainment news.
Pop sensation Aliyah Charles has been forced to cancel several
of her tour dates.
according to her manager.
Well, the good news is that Iliya is receiving excellent medical care,
but we do have to postpone her tour until after she recovers.
According to our medical experts.
She has a rare condition called Plusteria, which can only be cured
through the use of compatable stem cells.
Aliyah's record label has announced a nationwide search
for a compatible stem cell donor.
Plusteria. Isn't that what I had when I was a kid?
Yeah, but it's gone now honey.
Thanks to your Aunt Rose.
I was too little to remember.
Was she a doctor or something?
No, honey, you need a stem cells to cure it.
And Aunt Rose was the perfect match.
We had to find someone that was a perfect match for you.
But that's very rare.
Well, if I needed a perfect match,
why not you guys?
I need a cup of coffee.
Can you help me out with that honey? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh.
I think we have to tell her
we don't have any choice.
JADA, we have something to tell you.
We weren't supposed to say anything until you were 18.
What? you've been keeping a secret from me.
We wanted to tell you for a long time, but we weren't allowed to.
Sweetie, you're adopted.
We did it when you were a baby.
Wow. But I've always felt like you were my real parents, honey.
Honey, Your birth parents on around anymore.
You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to us.
Well, I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world,
having you guys as my parents.
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
Honey, Let's see if we can help that girl.
Thank you, young lady,
for stepping up to see if you're a potential donor to help Aliyah.
Anything I can do to help?
That's what my aunt did for me.
You know, finding someone with compatible healthy stem cells is almost impossible.
I know, but let's hope for the best.
We've tested thousands of people,
and you're one of the only ones that had a matching blood type.
Does that mean I can help her get healthy?
You know, no one's had matching stem tissue, so
we'll get this tested to see if you're the one.
OK, let me know.
Fingers crossed.
Turns out Jada was a match for Iliya.
Will Aliyah be cured?
Aliyah, great news, I just spoke to the nurse
and she said, you made a full recovery.
That's wonderful. I feel amazing.
They're going to let you out of here soon, maybe even today.
I feel so lucky to get a donor match.
Is there any way I can meet the person?
That would be a great publicity idea.
Let me see what I can do.
That's not the reason I asked.
I just want to meet whoever it is.
And to end our broadcast.
We have great news for pop music fans.
Chart topping sensation AAliyah harles has been cured
of Plusteria thanks to an anonymous stem cell donor.
Oh, my gosh. She's going to make a full recovery.
Thanks to you.
We're so proud.
I hope I can go to one of her concerts someday.
Oh, we can do better than that.
That's right. We have a surprise for you.
Aliyah?
Hi!
You're the girl that saved me!
I didn't do anything.
I just donated stem cells.
They told me that finding somebody with compatible cells
was one hundred million to one.
Well, I guess it was fate then.
Oh, Aliyah. Glad to see you looking
back to your normal self.
Oh, thank you, doctor.
I want you to know that I just signed your discharge papers
and you can leave the hospital.
Get back to your regular life.
I can?
I feel so lucky.
And I have one more piece of interesting information.
Really? What's that?
We did some additional testing.
And it turns out you two have the same biological parents.
What do you think about that?
Well, I recently found out that I'm adopted.
You're adopted? Me, too!
That's right.
You're actually identical twin sisters.
I'll leave you two alone.
Wow. I always sensed that I had a twin.
So did I. It's uncanny.
We're sisters.
Twin sisters.
Forever!
And ever!
Jada didn't know she was adopted
or that she was a twin.
Remember, you're never alone in this world.
You have hundreds of family members, even if you don't know them all.
