EMMY:
Ooh, Max. You look huge.

[EMMY CHUCKLES]So do you.

What is this, Emmy?

It'’s a magnifying glass.

It'’s part of my
new detective kit.

Hey, let'’s show it to our
friends in Dragon Land.

That'’s just what
I was gonna say.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Hi, Emmy. Hi--

[EMMY AND MAX LAUGHING]

Look, everybody.
Look what Emmy has.

It'’s a "defective" kit.

That'’s detective kit.

BOTH:
Wow.

BOTH:
What'’s a detective kit?

Sometimes
strange things happen

that you can'’t
figure out right away.

Like, say, something is lost

and you think maybe
somebody took it.

You mean, somebody
who shouldn'’t have?

Like a thief?

Yes, and this detective kit

can help you find him
and solve the mystery.

How can it do that?

This magnifying glass

can help you see
tiny clues.

My, Zaky, what
big eyes you have.

And, Wheezie, what
a big mouth you have.

Hm.
Oops.

Sorry.

This book of footprints
can help too,

because maybe the thief
left his footprints

and you can follow them
and see which way he went.

But how'’s a footprint
gonna help?

See? You look at the footprint
and see who or what made them.

A duck, or a horse,
or a person.

Ooh.

Huh?That'’s a dragon footprint.

[ALL LAUGHING]

[♪♪]

[GASPS]

CYRUS:
A detective kit.

Cyrus.

What are you doing?

Me?

Oh, nothing.

Wow. Red with
blue sparkles.

Cool bow tie.

Thanks.

Why are you
so dressed up?

Oh, well, today is
a very special day.

I'’m going on
a treasure hunt.

A treasure hunt?

Mm-hm.

And what are you
all doing today?

Well we'’re going to use
Emmy'’s new detective kit

to solve a mystery.

Yeah, as soon as we find
a mystery to solve.

[GASPS]

Look.

It'’s a mystery.

[OVERLAPPED CHATTER]

[♪♪]

Some mystery.

All I found were
prickle bushes.

[GASPS]
Look.

My detective kit
is gone.

Where'’s Cyrus?

He must have taken
my detective kit.

So that'’s why he told us
to look over there.

He wanted to trick us.

Come on, Emmy.
We'’ll find him.

But Cyrus could be
anywhere, Max.

Yeah, and we need
the detective kit

to follow his trail.

We didn'’t even get
to play with your kit

and now it'’s gone.

Hey, my racquet got muddy.

So did the net.

I wonder what made
that mud puddle

splash into
our stuff?

Look.

Footprints.

Cyrus must have stepped
in the mud puddle

as he ran away.

Come on, We can
follow these clues

even without a detective kit.

[♪♪]

The footprints are
getting harder to see.

Uh-oh. All the mud must have
gotten wiped off Cyrus'’s feet.

Oh, we'’ll never
find Cyrus.

Yes, we will.

We already found one clue.
The footprints.

We can find more.
Come on. Oh.

Look.

There are three
different roads.

I wonder which way
Cyrus went.

Let'’s take
the widest one.

ALL:
Yeah.

...one hundred and four,

one hundred and five,
one hundred and six,

one hundred and--CASSIE: Hey.

It'’s Norm the Number Gnome.

What are you doing here?

I'’m counting all the leaves
on the trees.

I'’ve been sitting here all day.

One hundred and seven,
one hundred and eight--

Have you seen
Cyrus the Serpent?

He took Emmy'’s detective kit,
and we'’re looking for it.

That'’s for me to know
and you to figure out.

[GIGGLES]
By solving this puzzle.

So far today I'’ve seen
six different faces,

including yours.

So have I seen
Cyrus or not?

[GIGGLES]

Can you
say it again?

Sure.

So far today I'’ve seen
six different faces,

including yours.

[GIGGLES]

Six different faces.

Including ours.

Let'’s count
our faces.

Zak and Wheezie
make two.

Ord makes three.
Four, five, six.

Six different
faces.

So we are the only ones
you have seen today.

Which means that Cyrus
took a different path.

You'’re right.

[GRUMBLES]

But now I'’ve lost count,

so I have to start counting
the leaves all over again.

Ugh! Bye-bye.

One, two, three, four...

We took
the wrong path.

What a waste of time.

No it wasn'’t, Zak.

Now we know we have to take
one of the other two paths.

Come on.

[♪♪]

I wonder which path
Cyrus took.

How are we going
to decide?

This path is very,
very narrow.

What do you think, Cassie?

Let'’s see.
Cyrus is about this wide.

And this tall.

Even that slinky serpent
couldn'’t go down this path.

So that means he
must have taken--

This path.Come on.

Without the detective kit,
they'’ll never find me.

What?

They'’re following me.
But how?

[♪♪]

Oh, now which way did he go?

I give up.

Oh, Zak,
we can'’t give up now.

Look how far
we'’ve come already.

We just have to look
a little harder, Zaky.

Uh, Emmy?

What are we
looking for?

I'’m not sure.

But remember, anything
can be a clue.

Even this?

ZAK: What is it?WHEEZIE: What did you find?

Is it really a clue?

Definitely.But what does mean?

Look.

ORD:
A blue sparkle.

Didn'’t we see something
like that today?

Hm.

Looks like it came
from Cyrus'’s bow tie.

The red thread could be
from his bow tie too.

So if we follow this thread...

It could lead us
to Cyrus.

Come on.

Dragoon Lagoon.

Why would Cyrus
take my detective kit

to Dragoon Lagoon?

[WINGS FLAPPING]

Look.

Wow.
What'’s going on?

Those are dragon gulls.

I'’ve been reading
about them.

Every year the giant
dragon gulls

lay their tiny eggs
on this beach.

They bury the eggs
in the sand

so other animals
won'’t steal them.

Other animals,
like Cyrus?

And he said he was going
on a treasure hunt, remember?

So that'’s why Cyrus took
your detective kit, Emmy.

To help him find
the gulls'’ eggs.

Of course, My magnifying
glass would help him

spot the tiny little holes
where the eggs are hidden.

We have to find Cyrus.

We have to stop him.

We have to save those
itty-bitty eggs!

[HISSING]

There he is.

Come on, my dear
little eggies.

I know you'’re around here
somewhere.

Ah-ha.

My treasure.

Eggs, eggs,
and more eggs.

Uh-oh.

That'’s mydetective kit,
Cyrus.

You'’re right. Sorry.

I never should have taken it
without asking you.

Here.

Those aren'’t your eggs,
either, Cyrus.

But-but-but-but...

ALL:
Cyrus!

Oh, all right.

Can'’t I have just one
itty-bitty egg?

ALL:
No.

[GRUMBLES]

We better guard
these eggs

in case any more
egg thieves come along.

CASSIE:
Look, everybody.

The eggs are
starting to hatch.

[CAWING]

Oh. How cute.

It'’s a baby
dragon gull.

[CAWING]

ORD:
Look. They'’re trying to fly.

[♪♪]

ALL:
Goodbye. Good luck.

That was an exciting mystery.

And we solved it
by using

the best
detective kit of all.

Yeah.

Not that, Max.
We used our brains.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

Hey, Emmy. We never ate
our granola bars.

Oh, yeah.

Mommy said we could each have
a granola bar for a snack.

Hey, what happened
to the other granola bar?

Hm, I think
Emmy the Detective

just solved
another case.

[GIGGLING]

[♪♪]

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

EMMY: Look.Huh?

The dragons
are calling us.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

ORD:
Max, Emmy, over here.

Hi, everybody.

Qué bien.
You arrived just in time.

Quetzal'’s brother
is sick.

Fernando doesn'’t feel well?

No, he has the sniffles.

And Quetzal asked us to take
Fernando some gazpacho.

Cold soup?

My mom always makes me
hot soup when I have a cold.

Well, this is cold soup.

Get it? A cold soup
to help a cold.

[GIGGLES]

[LAUGHING]

The soup'’s in a soup bowl,

But the bowl'’s
really, really big.

And filled to the tippy top,
it'’s also heavy.

It will be too hard
to carry while flying.

We can walk
to Fernando'’s.

Walk? The whole way?
I'’ll be too tired.

My legs will start
wiggling.

Can we help you
carry the bowl?

Sí.
If you don'’t mind.

I would take it myself,

but I must stay for a very
important Parent-Dragon meeting,

and the sooner my brother
gets the soup,

the sooner
he will feel better.

There'’s only
one problem.

When you walk
to Fernando'’s house,

you can'’t help but
run into Trumpy,

the grumpy
Troll Booth Troll.

Cool, a troll.

A troll booth troll.

Trumpy guards a small bridge
near the Stickleback Mountains.

It'’s the only way
to get to Fernando'’s.

Trumpy will insist
you do what he says

if you want to
cross the bridge.

That'’s the toll.

No problem.

Okay, everybody.
On the count of three, lift.

One, two, three.

[ALL GRUNT]

Trumpy shouldn'’t
slow you down

as long as everyone
can do a cartwheel.

[♪♪]

Aren'’t any of you
nervous about having to do

a cartwheel to cross
Trumpy'’s bridge?

[CHUCKLES]
Are you kidding?

Every dragon knows
how to cartwheel.

Don'’t you?

Um, no.

Are my ears
mistaken,

or did you just say you
can'’t do a cartwheel?

But, sis,
you can do anything.

You run fast.
You swim.

You skate.

Except I can'’t do
a cartwheel.

I never learned.

And if I can'’t cross the troll
bridge with the rest of you,

Fernando
won'’t get his soup.

What'’ll I do?

Don'’t worry, Emmy.
Just watch us.

[GRUNTING]

Cartwheels are
a snap for dragons.

I'’ll demonstrate.

No, you won'’t.

I don'’t want to get
our hands dirty.

Besides, everyone
knows Cassie

does the best cartwheels
in Dragon Land.

Well, I, uh...

Can you teach Emmy
how to do a cartwheel?

I'’d love to.

And we'’ll help too.

Remember, Emmy,

when you'’re learning
to cartwheel,

make sure you have
lots of room

and something soft
to land on, like grass.

Got it.CASSIE: When I do a cartwheel,

I put three moves
together.

First, I'’m in ready position,
raise my hands over my head,

then point my foot in
the direction I want to go.

Second, I lean over onto
my hands, into a handstand.

And third, I bring my legs over
while standing on my hands,

and I keep going until
I'’m back standing on my feet.

Yay!

It'’s "ready, hand-hand,
foot-foot."

Wanna give it a try, Emmy?

Plenty of room,
soft landing area.

Okay.
Let'’s see now.

First, legs apart.

Arms straight.

No, wait.
Is this right?

More like this.

ORD:
Don'’t you think
we should get going?

Quetzal said Fernando
is waiting for the soup.

Ord'’s right.

The longer we wait,

the longer Fernando
will be sick.

And the warmer
the cold soup will get.

Don'’t worry, Emmy.

Zaky and I are masters
at the starting position.

We'’ll help you when
we stop again to rest.

Is it just me, or is this
soup getting heavier?

I'’m b*at.Me too.

Let'’s take a break.

[GRUNTING]

Zak, Wheezie,

will you show Emmy how to
keep her arms straight up

over her head, now?

WHEEZIE:
Over here, Emmy.

What do I have to do?

Well, to start,
reach for some berries

off those
high branches.

WHEEZIE:
There. Your elbows are stiff.

And your arms
are straight.

From now on,

just think of reaching
for berries way up high

and you'’ll keep your arms
straight over your head.

Then all you do
is bring your legs over

while you'’re doing
a handstand.

[GRUNTS]

I'’ll never be able
to cartwheel.

I can'’t do
the handstand part.

Don'’t be sad, Emmy.

Can anyone help Emmy
learn to do a handstand?

I'’m pretty good
at handstands.

But I'’ve never really
thought about how I do it.

Fernando
is waiting.

Maybe you can think about
the best way to do one

while we'’re
walking.

Got it.Ord.

What are you doing?

You could have spilled
hot soup on me.

Cold soup.ORD: Sorry.

But I just thought
of a way to teach Emmy

how to do
a handstand.

[♪♪]

Emmy, it'’s perfect.

Okay, Emmy, now just stay
that way while I crawl.

[GRUNTS][ALL GASP]

Ugh.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing.

It'’s all about balance.

All you have to do
is keep practicing.

The secret to
a cartwheel is,

when you start
your handstand,

keep your legs straight up in
the air and keep them moving,

So your legs
come all the way over.

And you'’ll end up landing
on both of your feet again.

WHEEZIE:
Hand-hand, foot-foot.

[♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

Hm.

Oh!

You'’re getting
better, Emmy.

But we'’ve got to start
walking again

if we wanna get
to Fernando'’s in time.

How long until we see
the troll booth bridge?

Oh, that'’s not till...

[GULPS]

...now.

Ord, Max.

TRUMPY:
Halt.

Stop.

You must be Trumpy.

Yep, Trumpy,
the troll booth troll.

[SNIFFS]

Oh, I do believe
I smell cold soup.

Gazpacho, perhaps?

Yes, it'’s Quetzal'’s
cold soup for a cold.

We'’re taking it to
his brother, Fernando.

He lives just
across the bridge.

[LAUGHS] I'’ve heard
that one before.

"Just across the bridge."

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You'’ll never get across.

To cross the bridge you
have to do a cartwheel.

Why can'’t we just--?Rules are rules.

So who wants to
try and fail first?

Yoo-hoo! We do!

Go ahead, then.

[♪♪]

[GIGGLING]

Beginners'’ luck.

Who'’s next?I am.

[♪♪]

Now me.

Do you want
to try next?

No, you go, Max.

I'’m practicing the steps
of a cartwheel in my mind.

Okay.
Watch this.

You'’re the last one.[GASPS]

If you can cartwheel
across my bridge,

you may take your soup
to Fernando.

[ALL CHEERING]

I can do it.

[GULPS]
Definitely.

Can'’t anyone do something
to help her?

Not one of us.

All of us.

[♪♪]

[GIGGLING]

You helped her.

You never said she had to do
a cartwheel all by herself.

You just said,
she had to do a cartwheel.

[LAUGHS]

And she did.

Oh, all right.

Get your soup and go.

[ALL CHEERING][TRUMPY MUTTERING]

You did it.

I didn'’t.
We did.

FERNANDO:
Gracias.I feel better
with each and every swallow.

I hope getting past
Trumpy the Troll Booth Troll

wasn'’t too
much trouble.

No trouble at all.

[ALL LAUGHING]

I guess we can fly home.

If you don'’t mind,
I'’d rather walk.

Really?Yes.

I'’d like to try cartwheeling
across the bridge again.

I'’ll go too.Good idea.

I'’m in.It'’s okay with me.

Love it![LAUGHS]

[♪♪]

Where'’s Trumpy?

[TRUMPY SOBBING]Listen.

[CONTINUES SOBBING]

I wonder what'’s wrong?

Trumpy?

What'’s the matter,
Trumpy?

Were you crying?

No.

Well, yes.

Why?

Well, do you know
why I made it a rule

that to cross my bridge
you have to do a cartwheel?

You like being mean?

TRUMPY:
No.

It'’s because I hoped

that by watching everybody,

I could learn how
to do one myself someday.

You don'’t know
how to do a cartwheel?

[SNIFFS]
No.

I know how you feel.

I didn'’t know either,
but I'’m learning.

My friends taught me.

We can show you too.

You can?

Sure.Okey-dokey.

You betcha.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

[LAUGHING]

Boy, Trumpy sure seemed happy.

Of course. Now he can do
a cartwheel, just like me.

[GRUNTS]Emmy.

Remember. It'’s, "ready,
hand-hand foot-foot."

Not, "hand-hand,
foot-bottom."
