[bell rings]

all: Morning, Mr. Sparks!

- Bueno dias, class!
You're right on time!

- Good morning, Fur Blur!
Ready for breakfast?

Hmm, Fur Blur?
Where's Fur Blur?

- I haven't seen her
this morning.

- Hmm.

But she's always here
for breakfast.

You know how hungry she gets.

- True.

Then she must be
around here somewhere.

- Fur Blur, where are you?

Fur Blur?

Huh, she always comes
when I call.

- I don't think she's here.

- Oh, no, she's missing!

- Don't worry, Benny,
I'm sure we can find her.

- Well, how?

- The same way
we always solve problems:

we can use our...

all: Superpowers of science!

- Let's start by observing.

We can look around and see
if we notice any evidence.

You know, clues.

How can we be sure?

- Maybe we can look
at these hairs

and some from her cage
side by side

and compare to see if
they're the same or different.

- I'm on it!

[upbeat music]

Okay, I've got some hairs

Hmm, they look the same.

Fur Blur's!

- Our first clue!

- I'm gonna keep track
of all the clues we find.

- Hmm, looks like
there's a trail of hairs

going across the room--oof!

And out the door.

- So that means

- We can just follow the trail.

- Muy bien, and I'll stay here

over this way.

Mm...
[gasps]

I found something!

It's a cheese wrapper,

but most of the cheese is gone.

This is what the cheese
looks like.

Oh.

There is another sense
we can use:

taste.

- That cheese is so stinky.

- Yeah, but I've
tasted it before,

and if it helps us
find Fur Blur,

then I must do what I must do.

- Well?

- It's...
[gulps]

Not good.
Ugh.

[groans, spits]

- I thought you said
you tasted it before?

- I did.
It was not good then, either.

This is definitely
Fur Blur's favorite cheese,

but--ugh--who knows why.

- Well, at least
we have another clue.

[device chirps]

- Yep, this evidence tells us
she probably was here,

but it doesn't tell us
where she is now.

- What if--what if she's lost
somewhere in the school?

Then how will we find her?

- We'll just keep searching
for more clues.

[Zoomoculars whir]

- Look, more pieces of cheese.

Hmm.

It's another trail
leading out that door.

- Great observation, AJ.

Let's go!

Mr. Sparks: It may sound
cheesy, but my heroic students

followed that trail of cheese
all the way to...

[upbeat music]

- The library?
all: Shh.

- [whispers]

Do you think
Fur Blur's in here?

- Hmm, the trail of cheese

leads right under
that bookcase.

- Hmm.

- And did you notice?

There's no trail of cheese
coming out of the bookcase.

- She must have
taken the cheese under there

to eat it.

Maybe she's still there.

- [shouting]
Fur Blur, can you hear me?

Are you okay?

all: Shh!

- How can we be sure
she's under there?

- Keep observing.
Benny, can you see her?

- No, it's too dark,

but maybe I can feel her.

- Yeah, use your sense
of touch.

- [grunts]
I don't feel anything except--

Huh?
What's this?

- A tiny flag?

- Wait a minute,
I've seen that flag before.

Thought projecting.

It's from Fur Blur's car.

See?
- Oh, you're right!

Oh--oh, no, but she could have
gone anywhere in that car.

She could be lost or stuck
or stuck and lost!

Has anyone seen
an adorable little hamster?

all: Shh!

- [whispering]
Did I mention "adorable"?

- I know you're worried
about her, Benny.

We all are.

But we'll just keep
searching for clues, okay?

- Let's see,
so far we've noticed things

using our senses of sight,

smell, taste, and touch.

That's only four senses,

we haven't used yet.

Ta-da!

- And, AJ, what are you
making for Athletica?

- A finger painting.

I never liked finger painting
when I was little,

but now my Arm-o-Matic

- Um, aren't you supposed
to use your fingers for that?

- No way, too goopy.

And you know how I feel
about touching goopy things.

- "Goopy," hmm.

What an interesting property.
