[typing] It was...
A dark and... stormy night.
No-no-no,
It was a very dark
and stormy night.
No, no.
A very dark
and very stormy night!
A night perfectly made...
for crime!
But,
little did the crooked criminals know
it was also a perfect night
for ace detective,
Peggy Periwinkle
to be on the prowl for purloiners,
pilferers,
and petty cooks.
Not cooks,
crooks!
Hi Blueberry!
Hello there, Scouty!
arf-arf
Hey!
Oh, hello, Strawberry...
Cherry.
What are you working on?
Oh,
just trying to write a detective story
as spectacular as
a Patti Persimmon mystery.
I want to submit it
to Berry Bitty Mysteries Magazine.
Wow!
Do you think they would buy it?
Um...
Not in its present form.
No!
I mean here I am,
the ultimate Patti Persimmon
Detective fan,
and I can't even come up with
a decent mystery to solve.
It's absolutely criminal!
arf-arf-arf
Oh... What a good boy, Scouty!
Aren't you talented!
Yes, you are!
Well,
I'd love to read your story
when you're finished.
While you're waiting.
Guess what I just got in?
The latest Patti Persimmon novel.
"The Mystery of the m*nled Macaroni".
I ordered copies!
Oh. My goodness.
Bosley,
could you please toss me down
a m*nled Macaroni?
Um, I don't think&
I mean&
Now where is that bookworm?
Bosley?
Bosley: Comin' up. Or, down.
Thank you!
Don't mention it.
It's her best yet.
A master criminal
creeps into a macaroni factory
makes off with the cheese,
and, well,
I don't want to give away the ending.
But I can tell you.
It's a shocker.
Enjoy.
Compliments of Blueberry's Bookstore.
Oh, that's very kind of you.
But I still have
"The Mystery of the Haunted Cell Phone".
And
"The Case of the Gone Gone Gondolier"
to finish before I could get to this one.
Cherry?
Oh, if I could come back for it?
I'm only halfway through,
"The Half Explained Case
of the Half Empty Milk Glass".
And then I have Patti Persimmon's
"Curious case of the Crooked", um,
Crackling, curtailed?
Patti Persimmon's "Curious Case
of the Crumbling Cookie!"
It's electrifying.
But,
we can't wait to come back
for "The m*nled Macaroon".
Hmmmn.
Uh, we actually came by for...
Would you happen to have,
the new Berry Big Glitz
& Glamour magazine?
We wanted to see
where Cherry's latest song is
on the charts.
Coming right up.
Wait. Watch this.
Scouty! Here, boy!
Berry Big Glitz & Glamour magazine!
Fetch, boy!
No, that's point?
Fetch, Scouty. Fetch!
I've been training him all week.
Good Scouty! Good boy!
No, Scouty, it is not a toy.
Now, now really!
Now where'd he go?
There you are.
Come... back... here!
Whoa... ho... ho!!
Ohhhh!
No, Scouty!
Ohhh,ohh,oh...
Uh, here you go, Cherry.
Sorry about the... uh, slobber.
No worries.
Thank you, Scouty.
Thank you. See you later, Blueberry
You want me to read it to you again?
I'm glad someone around here
appreciates Patti Persimmon
as much as I do.
Say,
I know someone else who loves Patti
as much as we do:
Huckleberry!
I can't wait to read it.
But I've been super busy
trying to get Huck's Home
for Homeless Dogs up on its feet.
I'm afraid it's just
not going to happen.
Oh, Huckleberry,
I'm so sorry.
Hey, I uh, have an idea that...
Scouty,down!
That might help us both out.
If you wouldn't mind coming out to...Scouty!
To Berry Bitty City for a couple days?
What kind of idea?
Scouty!
Hey there, Scouty!
TomTom, down boy!
I guess TomTom wouldn't mind a visit.
Oh, yes.
I know Scouty really misses TomTom.
TomTom, uh,
misses Scouty, too.
So, uh,
I was trying to write a mystery story
to submit to Berry Bitty Mysteries magazine.
That's great, Blueberry!
But I wasn't coming up with
a lot of ideas.
So, I thought,
Since you're as big a
Patti Persimmon Detective fan
as I am.
Perhaps we could...
write the story together?
If they bought the story.
You would have funds
for your pet shelter.
Wow, I'm flattered that you'd ask me.
But I've never written a story before.
Oh, it'll be easy.
We'll just... Scouty behave.
We'll just
write it like a Patti Persimmon mystery!
Okay, I'm on my way!
I'll be there tonight, and... I'll be there.
TomTom, no!
And this time
we won't take a wrong turn.
Okay, see ya.
Bye.
Bye!
Hah!
We're not getting stuck in there again.
Right, TomTom?
Wow!
They must've added a tunnel
since we were here.
Hmm. I think we should go this way.
That's okay, don't worry.
I know exactly where I'm going.
Aw, mudpies!
Could you please get that, Bosley?
Certainly!
Good evening,
Blueberry's Berry Bitty Bookstore,
Bosley Bookworm speaking
May I speak with Blueberry?
She's right here.
For you, Blueberry.
Thanks, Bosley!
Blueberry speaking
Oh, hi, Huckleberry!
You're where?
That's it. Bring her down.
Huckleberry?
You okay in there?
Blueberry? Hi!
Any idea how long
before I can get out of here?
Tell him not to fret.
We'll have I'm outta' there by dinner time.
No worries!
You and I are expert Patti Persimmon fans!
Berry Bitty Mysteries magazine
is going to love our story!
arf-arf-arf
woof woof
Please!
When we're inside,
we need to use our inside voices.
And inside manners; all right?
Now please sit.
No, Scouty, that's search.
I'm still training him.
See? Like TomTom.
Sit!
Good boy, Scouty
So I had this idea for a
brand new detective,
"Peggy Periwinkle"!
What do you think?
Sounds great.
But isn't it a little bit like...
Patti Persimmon?
As close as I could get!
But don't you think we should invent something
I don't know... different?
Oh, no, that's the whole idea!
It is?
Sure!
Because anyone who likes Patti Persimmon
will automatically love Peggy Periwinkle.
I guess?
I knew you'd like it!
You know,
I've always had this idea
for a new detective team,
who would go and... Don't worry,
I have it all worked out.
Ready?
Okay, take this down.
It all began
on a dark and stormy nigh.
Uh, no strike that.
A very dark and stormy night.
A night perfectly made for...
For..
Crime?
Crime! Perfect!
But little did the creeping,
crooked criminals know,
it also was a perfect night for.
Patti - er, Peggy Periwinkle
Ace Detective!
Finished!
The Berry Bitty Mysteries editors
are going to love it!
It took all night but it was worth it.
Our story is great!
Right, Huckleberry?
Heh? Huh? What?
Oh, yeah. Great!
What time is it?
Time to mail our story!
Well,
I don't know about "our" story.
I hardly had any ideas at all.
Oh, that's silly,
we're a great team!
I'll meet you at
Strawberry's cafe for breakfast.
As soon as I mail this off
at the post office.
Bye!
Strawberry!
Blueberry pancakes,
fresh and hot.
Mmm, my favorite!
Thanks for keeping breakfast going.
Sorry I was late,
I started telling everyone
at the post office
About the story Huck and I wrote.
And before I knew it.
I just had to read them the whole thing
and they absolutely loved it!
Everyone said it was just
like a
Patti Persimmon book!
Strawberry,
I have found
the perfect writing partner.
I'm going to tell Huck
that after we sell this story.
We should just keep on writing
Peggy Periwinkle books!
Wait...
Where is Huck?
I thought we were going to...
Have breakfast?
Yeah. No!
I mean,
I thought he'd be here when I,
um...
He already ate and left.
Said he had an idea for something
he wanted to write.
Oh.
Sugar?
Oh, um...
No, no thanks.
Huck; Okay, how bout this?
"A perfect day in every way
Blue skies not a shade of grey
But one thing's missing
And that's your smiling face"

That's just beautiful.

It was an even darker
and stormier night
than the night before.
Peggy Periwinkle
Was looking for her flashlight.
When all of a sudden...
Hi, Blueberry!
Oh! Hello.
Sorry I was late for breakfast.
When I got there you'd already gone.
Yeah, I had to go and...
I needed to...
I mean, I was, um...
Hey,
could I get some paper from you?
And pencils?
Oh! Well, certainly!
You know what we say...
A complete line of stationery
is always in stock
At Blueberry's Bookstore.

Sorta jot 'em down.

[door opening] jingle-jangle
Evening, Blueberry!
Can I get you something?
Your guitar?
My guitar?
I was wondering
if I could borrow it?
Of course.
Are you?
Well, I thought it would be nice
to learn how to play.
You know, music.
And maybe sing, and
Sure, you know.
Cherry's a terrific teacher.
Oh. Well,
I'll just try on my own.
At first.
Thank you, Strawberry.
Anytime.
Hmm...
(terrible singing) Laaaaa!
Naaaaa!
Nooooo.
Becoming a pop star
is going to be harder than I thought.
I'm still not sure I understand.
Well, Lemon.
What I'm looking for is...
whoh-wwwhat's in style now?
Well,
What about this one
I showed you before?
I mean more like, something like...
ohhh, for example...
what hairstyle did Cherry get
the last time she was here?
It's sort of low-key
I mean if you're going for newest,
hippest, cutting edge.
Uh, well.
What if let's say Cherry, for example,
I mean I'm just using her as an example.
I could say any pop-star.
I could say "Delia Dragonfruit".
Or the "Four Berries".
Or, you know, so...
If Cherry, just for example,
was about to perform a song
at a concert.
What if you did my hair
like you'd think she'd wear it?
Well, I'd have to ask her.
Oh no, don't do that!
Cuz, it would depend.
On the venue and the theme, and...
Do you have any other magazines?
I'm sorry, Blueberry.
But I gotta reschedule you.
We've used up your whole appointment
style consulting instead of styling.
And Plum has a manicure
in two minutes.
Oh.
Why don't you take these magazines home
and look them over
and decide what is you.
That's just it.
Me isn't good enough.
But no matter what Peggy Periwinkle did.
She could not solve
the greatest mystery of all.
Hi, Blueberry!
Hope I'm not too late
to get some copies of tomorrow's menu?
No, that's fine.
Just leave it and I'll have it,
um, done by morning.
Working on another story?
Mm-hmm.
But Huckleberry's not here?
Isn't he writing with you?
I guess not anymore.
Blueberry?
Is something wrong?
Oh, Strawberry.
I think he has a new writing partner.
Who?
Cherry Jam!
They're writing a song together!
Oh, Blueberry.
It was supposed to be a surprise.
A surprise?
The words Huckleberry wrote
that Cherry put to music?
He wrote them for you.
He wanted to show you
that he's a good writer,
even if he can't write
exactly like the Patti Persimmon books.
Oh, no!
I made him think
I didn't like his ideas!
I never gave him a chance
to get a word in edgewise.
Mystery solved.
Okay. This is the one.
This hat is going to give me
the inspiration for great mystery ideas.
You had good ideas,
I just wasn't listening.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about the whole misunderstanding
about the song.
Were you really going to change your hairstyle?
But you're the one who taught me
that you have to always be yourself.
Then you know people like you
for who you are, remember?
I remember.
Well!
How about we start our story.
this time with your idea.
Okay.
But, just jump in any time, all right?
I will.
It wasn't a dark and stormy night.
It was a wild and windy day.
A day that was perfect for...
Stan and Stacy,
Stealth Sleuths!
I like it!
