==Story==
===Spy Kids===
Juni, like his older sister Carmen, had no idea his parents were secret agents until the first Spy Kids film. He is very insecure with himself, and lives in the world of the television show, Floop's Fooglies. When Juni learns (or so he and Carmen thought) that Floop is really a criminal mastermind that had kidnapped his parents, he takes it surprisingly well, adjusting to the fact very quickly. Juni wins some respect from his sister on their quest. During the climax of the film, he learned that Floop was not a criminal and that Minion is the real villain when confronting and meeting Floop in person in the virtual room. It was shown within the first two movies that Juni is able to mimic another person's voice perfectly, a trait that his father claims he gets from his mother.
===Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams===
Juni develops a crush on the president's daughter Alexandra. There is particularly friction between Juni and Gary Giggles due to Carmen's romantic interest in Gary. After a fight resulting in Magna Men stealing a prototype of the Transmooker (It being caused when Gary tried to take it from Juni for the glory, only to blame Juni when the Magna Men took it away), Juni gets fired from the OSS. However, Carmen hacked him back in the organization so they could recover the Transmooker. After they successfully save the Transmooker from Donagon Giggles, Gary's father, Juni quit the OSS. Juni's robotic pet spider, R.A.L.P.H., is first shown in this movie near the beginning sections, but is later squashed by Gary Giggles, after he is sent to spy over him and his sister during the briefing of the Ukata Assignment, but shown fixed during the credits.
===Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over===
Juni is pulled out of retirement to rescue his sister from her failed mission to shut down the video game Game Over. Juni finds her, but it is no accident. Juni and the others are secretly being manipulated, because the Toymaker has an interest in Juni's grandfather. Despite (or rather because of) this, Juni and the others still manage to save the day.
===Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World===
In the fourth installment, Juni is seen assisting the new younger Spy Kids. He is grown up and came back to help them get time back after he was in retirement. Carmen is upset because Juni never called or told her where he was. He said he tried to strike out on his own and struck out. He continued to say he left because he thought that it wouldn't be cool to keep working with his sister. Carmen replies that was what would have made him cool. Juni is still slightly immature because when Carmen was frozen he made her pick her nose, and then took a picture of it to remember her. At the end, they become co-leaders of the new Spy Kids program.
