MIRA: "The Case of

the Dance Off Disaster."

MIRA: One, two, turn, three,

four, turn, five, six, turn, seven,

eight, and one.

Two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, and one.

Two, tilt, three, four,

-and turn.

-BOTH: Turn.

Ladies!

Ladies, the hands must be more graceful.

All of it must be more graceful.

Have they forgotten everything?

Got it, guys.

You'd think Mikku and Chikku were

performing in the dance contest, not us.

Do you really think we can win, Mira?

Priya, we practiced.

We know our dance routine inside and out.

You made us

these amazing sparkly costumes.

True.

If this were a sparkle contest,

we would

MEENA: Hey, Priya. Hey, Mira.

lose to my sister and Pinky?

Ready to watch

Pinky and me win the trophy?

No, we're not ready.

-I mean, we are ready

-To win.

Priya, we got this.

Let's keep practicing

before it's time to start.

One, two, turn, three

PINKY: Meena, they're really good.

Do you think we should have

practiced more, or at all?

Please, Pinky.

We don't need to practice.

We're sparkly, we have amazing music,

and we have me on our team.

That trophy is ours.

MANJEET: You really think

you're going to beat us?

We've got moves, charm and looks.

Triple threat. Times two.

Yeah, we have a one-in-three chance

of winning this thing.

Oh, yes!

Ladies and gentlemen. I'm Sanjeev Joshi,

your host for Jalpur's

very own dance contest.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

It's starting.

Let me introduce you

to our three fabulous teams.

Manjeet and Ranjeet.

Mira and Priya.

And finally, Meena and Pinky.

Each team must have their own music

that they'll play on this phonograph.

Priya, do you have our music?

Right here.

The winning team

will receive this beautiful trophy.

(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)

Now, let's meet our judges.

Police cow by day,

dancing cow by night, it's

Deputy Oosha!

-(MOOING)

-(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

And Jalpur's very own dance instructor,

the stunning Shilpa.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

SANJEEV: Now,

please give a hearty round of applause

to our first team,

Ranjeet and Manjeet.

-(MOOING)

-(APPLAUDING)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

The music's getting faster. What do we do?

Dance faster.

We have to sell this.

The phonograph is out of control.

I can't feel my feet.

(BREATHLESSLY) I don't know

how much longer I can dance this fast.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GASPS) The crank!

BOTH: Watch out.

(GRUNTS)

Got it.

-Thanks, Mira.

-Nice work, Mira.

Hey, they're clapping pretty loud.

I don't think they're clapping for us.

Well, folks. (CHUCKLES)

I don't think the music

was supposed to go that fast.

But a big round of applause

for Ranjeet and Manjeet

for their fast thinking and fast dancing.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Something was wrong with our music.

It went way too fast,

that's why we fell down.

Now we have zero chance

of winning that trophy.

I see the problem.

The phonograph is set to super-fast speed.

Super-fast?

We didn't set it to that.

Yeah, when I checked the phonograph

before our dance,

it was set to normal speed.

That's strange.

Do you think someone set their music

to super-fast speed on purpose?

So the music would go fast

and we would fall?

I don't know.

It could have been an accident.

Either way, I'll find out.

We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

(GASPS) Look.

Sequins.

What do sequins have to do with

the music playing too fast?

Finding sequins isn't strange,

but it's strange

there were sequins next to the phonograph.

I'll put these in my evidence pouch.

Ladies and gentlemen, up next,

-Mira and Priya.

-(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

-That's us.

-The case will have to wait, Mira.

'Cause you've got to dance.

Okay, I set the phonograph

to normal speed.

We are good to go.

There's only one problem.

Our music is missing!

-What?

-What?

How could it be missing?

I left it on the table

with the other music,

and now it's gone.

-Unacceptable.

-Come on!

First, Manjeet and Ranjeet's

music went too fast,

and now our music is missing?

I wonder if someone is

doing all this on purpose?

Girls, it's your turn. Are you ready?

Actually, Joshi, sir,

we have a small problem.

Well, a huge problem.

Our music is missing.

I'm sorry, girls.

You need music to dance in this contest.

But it's not our fault.

Don't worry, Priya.

Music doesn't only come from phonographs.

-Are you thinking

-What I'm thinking?

BOTH: We will be your music.

-(BOTH GRUNT)

-Yeah!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Guys, make some music.

-Got it.

-Oh, yeah.

Hello, I am Mikku, this is Chikku.

I'm going to provide a beat,

while Chikku makes up the words.

Watch and learn, people.

(BEATBOXING)

This music is most unusual,

isn't it, Oosha?

(MOOING)

You need a beat

You need a song ♪

We can make it up

As we go along ♪

I whisk my whiskers

I shake my tail ♪

Must go on, oh! ♪

Oh-oh! ♪

La-la-la! ♪

Mira and Priya, take it away ♪

(MIKKU CONTINUES)

(EXCLAIMS)

Just keep going!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Whoa!

Ow!

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

(THUDDING)

Well, that was quite a big finish

for Mira and Priya! (CHUCKLES)

-Give them a big hand.

-(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

After slipping and falling like that,

there's no way we're gonna win.

Ladies, we don't know that yet.

Oh, I'm pretty sure we know that.

I don't get it.

Everything was going great

until we started slipping.

Hmm.

There are blue beads all over the stage.

That's what we slipped on.

Beads? What are beads doing on my stage?

Not okay!

Not okay.

Something is definitely wrong.

First the boys' music went too fast,

then our music went missing

and now these beads made us fall down.

All that makes me think

someone is definitely

doing these things on purpose.

Now, let's welcome

our last team of dancers to the stage.

Put your hands together for

Meena and Pinky.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALL GROANING)

(SANJEEV COUGHS)

Wow! Okay.

That was verycreative.

Let's find out

if the judges thought so, too.

-(MOOING)

-(WHISPERING)

Ladies and gentlemen,

the judges have come to a decision.

The winning team is

Meena and Pinky.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

We won?

But we didn't even practice.

Of course we won.

I would just like to thank

my natural dance talent,

my fabulous fashion sense,

my very sparkly outfit

Well, her outfit is sparkly,

I'll give her that.

-Her outfit.

-What about it?

Look.

Meena's outfit has the same

sequins and beads that we found before,

which means that

I need to ask her a few questions.

I'd also like to thank my perfect pitch,

my amazing head of hair

Excuse me everyone,

I'm sorry for interrupting

but I need to talk to Meena.

-Now?

-Yes, Meena. Right now.

What is it, Mira?

Some strange things happened today.

Think this through with me, Meena.

First Manjeet and Ranjeet's music

was turned to super-fast speed.

That made it hard for them to dance.

-(GRUNTING)

-(THUDS)

We found some sparkly sequins

near the phonograph.

Then our music disappeared.

We danced anyway, but there were

beads on the stage that made us slip.

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

Your dress has sparkly sequins

and beads on it, just like these.

Do you know anything about what happened?

I was just trying to dance and win.

What's wrong with winning?

Meena, this is our missing music.

Fine! I took it! I did it all.

(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)

(OOSHA MOOING)

Did what all?

Oops, I didn't mean to say that so loudly.

Everybody, I'm the one

who made the other two teams mess up.

-(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)

-She cheated?

Oh, my goodness me!

-We cheated?

-Why?

Why?

The other teams dance so well,

I wanted everyone else to lose

so I would win.

I'm sorry, Pinky. It wasn't fair to you.

We should have practiced.

I'm sorry, everyone.

What I did was wrong.

We don't deserve the trophy.

The case of the dance off disaster

Is closed.

(CHUCKLES) Well, folks,

what an exciting afternoon.

I have no idea what to do now.

How about we get one more chance to dance?

Time for a dance off, people.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

-Okay, they're good. Really good.

-I bet they practiced.

A lot.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Well, folks, I can't believe this,

but for the first time in Jalpur history,

we have two winning teams.

-Mira and Priya and Manjeet and Ranjeet.

-Yay!

Our girls, so proud.

This is the greatest thing

that's ever happened to me.

Come on, everyone, let's all dance.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

MIRA: "Mystery at the Camel Fair."

(CROWS CAWING)

Here we are. Pretty amazing, huh?

MIKKU: Yeah, it's incredible.

Uh, is it me or does it seem like

there are a lot of camels around?

That's because

we're at the Camel Fair, Chikku.

Check it out.

Those camels

are warming up for their big race.

And five, six, seven, eight, and lift.

And bend. And lift, and bend.

We need to find Priya and Meena.

They're getting their camel Tinku ready

for the best-dressed camel contest.

He needs this anklet.

Now, where is the contest area?

KAMALA: It's over by

the orange tent, Mira.

Oh, thanks, Kamala.

Hello, Mira, dear.

It's a hot day, isn't it?

It sure is.

What we need is some shade

and there's not much around,

but this nice cold kulfi

should cool you off, Mannu.

Here you go.

Thanks, Ashima.

Ooh, I'll take a kulfi.

I'll take three, please.

Let's bring this anklet

to Priya and Meena first. Okay, guys?

Just look for us, we'll be moving around.

How about a tamarind to go?

-Now, you're talking.

-Hello, tamarind!

Thanks, Kamala. See you later.

BOTH: Bye.

Hey, Priya. Hi, Meena.

I have Tinku's anklet.

Uh, how's it all going?

-Fine.

-Fine.

(CAMEL GRUNTS)

It sure doesn't seem fine.

In fact, it seems not fine.

(GRUNTS)

Meena and I made a deal.

She's in charge of grooming Tinku's hair.

Excuse me, I prefer the term "stylist."

And I'm in charge of Tinku's outfit.

I want him to wear the orange side

of this blanket I made for him.

Well, I want him to wear the blue side.

But the shells I sewed on the orange side

bring out Tinku's fur.

Well, the pom-poms I made

match the blue side,

so we're going with blue.

No, we're not!

-(BOTH GRUNTING)

-(TINKU SIGHS)

Don't worry, Tinku, we'll sort this out.

PRIYA: Orange!

MEENA: Blue!

-Mira.

-Not getting sorted out.

-Orange!

-Blue!

-Orange! Orange!

-Blue!

Guys, come on.

It doesn't have to be this way.

(ALL GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

Now, that is a very interesting

design choice.

Prince Veer, you're a judge

for the best-dressed camel contest?

Indeed. Because

of my impeccable style and taste.

And let me give you a piece of advice.

This isn't working.

To enter the contest,

the camel needs a complete outfit.

We're not done yet.

Yeah, we're just getting started.

Better hurry, judging begins soon.

Oh, they'll be ready, Prince Veer.

Uh-huh. Good luck with that.

How will we be ready

when we can't even agree on Tinku's look?

I'm sure there's a way

to make both of your ideas work.

Now, where's the blanket?

I don't know. Where did you put it?

Because last I saw it,

it was on that shrub.

Mira, what are we going to do

if we can't find it?

Yeah, the blanket

is Tinku's outfit for the contest.

(BRAYS)

Don't worry, we'll find it.

We're on the case of the missing blanket.

Okay, so we know

the blanket was on the shrub.

Let's search for clues nearby.

All I see are leaves.

I don't understand how this is helping.

-(TINKU GRUNTING)

-Tinku, where are you going? Come back.

-(GRUNTING)

-I think he found something.

A shell.

-PRIYA: From my blanket.

-It must have fallen off.

-Great job, Tinku.

-(GRUNTING)

Tinku finds one shell

and he thinks he's so great.

Yeah, anyone can find clues.

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

What is this stuff?

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

It's a trap.

Guys, it's just melted kulfi.

It must have dripped

when someone was eating it.

Hey, I found another shell.

(SOFTLY) Take that, Tinku.

Like I said, anyone can find clues.

I don't get it.

How did shells from Priya's blanket

get all the way over here?

Good question, Meena.

Let's see if we can find any others.

Okay, that's weird.

A man over there

has shells woven into his mustache.

Check it out.

They look exactly like mine.

What's he doing with your shells?

There's only one way to find out.

Let's ask.

Last call for the mustache contest.

Flaunt your winning whiskers

for a chance to win free samosas.

Did he just say free samosas?

I'd say these whiskers are samosa-worthy.

I'm sorry, sir, this is a restricted area.

Only contestants with mustaches may enter.

Mira, how are you going to get in

to talk to him?

You don't have a mustache.

And we don't have much time.

Hmm. I have an idea.

Meena, I'm going

to need you to be my stylist.

Ooh!

Just needs a few finishing touches,

and there.

Great disguise, Meena.

Guys, you got the plan, right?

BOTH: Begin Operation Mongoose Mustache!

All right, let's do this.

BOTH: Good luck.

(IN DEEP VOICE) Uh, I'm here

for the mustache contest.

Hmm.

Okay, go right on in, sir.

Sir, that is one very impressive mustache.

Wanna know my secret? Coconut oil.

Yours is fabulous, too.

One question.

How do you get it to wiggle?

Wiggle?

Ah, yes.

I have some good friends

who are always willing

to help me with my mustache Exercises.

And may I ask

where you got those lovely shells?

(CHUCKLES)

Don't they make me look dashing?

I found them on the ground

by the racetrack

next to the starting line.

I cleaned and polished them up,

and there you have it.

You didn't happen to see a blanket there,

orange on one side, blue on the other?

Nope.

And now the winner

of best whiskers goes to

the gentleman with the wiggling mustache.

-What?

-BOTH: What?

That's right,

You, sir

-Ow! We won!

-Time for samosas?

Not yet. Time to go to the racetrack.

We'll take those samosas to go!

The man at the mustache contest

said he didn't see the blanket,

so why are we here?

He said he found his shells

by the starting line of the racetrack.

Let's take a look.

(GROANS)

Whoa, not again.

Chikku, we don't have time for this.

We're on a case.

Whoa!

Ow! My glasses.

(TINKU GRUNTING)

Hey, thanks, big guy.

Melted kulfi. Again!

PRIYA: Mira, I found more shells.

So that means your blanket was here.

We need to get a better look.

Mira?

BOTH: We got this.

Okay, big guy. Do your thing.

What's the plan, exactly?

Tinku, lifts us up

so we can see the whole fair.

(GRUNTING)

That's actually not a bad idea.

All right, I'm seeing the camel race.

Looks like they're ready to start.

Camels, on your marks

Get set, go!

-(GRUNTING)

-(BOTH YELLING)

(STUTTERING) What's happening?

What do you think is happening?

Tinku decided to join the race!

Oh, no!

Quick, let's cut across the track.

-Mira!

-(YELLING)

CHIKKU: Help!

We need to stop Tinku.

Priya, you have to whistle.

He listens to you.

(WHISTLES)

It's not loud enough.

Maybe if we all whistle together.

(ALL WHISTLING)

(GROANS)

Gotcha! Are you guys okay?

BOTH: Did we win?

All this time, I thought Tinku

just loved to dress up.

Guess he loves racing, too.

(GRUNTS HAPPILY)

Here's another little tip.

To win, Tinku might

need more than just a blanket.

Maybe also a bath. (CHUCKLES)

The contest starts in five minutes.

See you there, if you make it.

Five minutes! That's it. It's over.

We'll never be ready in time.

I wish we had used

the blue side of the blanket

like you wanted, Meena.

Well, I wish we had used the orange side

like you wanted.

I'm sorry, Priya.

I'm sorry, too. If only we hadn't argued.

(GRUNTING)

Bring it here, you big, big guy, you.

I'm glad you're not fighting anymore,

but we are not giving up.

We can still figure this out.

Mira, we can't find the blanket.

We keep finding shells

so it has to be around here somewhere.

But where?

The question is, how did the shells

get so spread out around the fair?

I wonder if the blanket is moving around?

BOTH: It's alive?

I bet another camel stole the blanket.

Maybe. Or the blanket could be

on something else that moves.

Let's think this through.

Everywhere we found shells,

we found melted kulfi.

What's something that moves around

and also has kulfi?

BOTH: Us!

MIRA: No, Kamala's kulfi cart.

When you guys were arguing

over the blanket,

it went flying into the shrub.

What if right then,

Kamala was passing by with the kulfi cart,

picked up the blanket and kept going?

That would explain

why we keep finding shells everywhere.

So, Kamala has our blanket?

I think so. We have to find her fast.

Chalo, chalo. Let's go!

-Kamala.

-Hi, guys.

Are you ready for some kulfi now?

-Yes, please.

-Oh, yes.

Kamala, we have a question.

Do you know where Priya's blanket is?

Guys, look up.

What?

-No way.

-Crazy town.

(GASPS) My blanket.

Mira, you found it.

That's yours?

Priya, I am so sorry.

It was super-hot today

and my mom and I needed some shade.

I saw it on the shrub

and thought it would make

a great cover for our cart.

It's okay, Kamala.

It was an honest mistake.

Yeah, we're just happy we found it.

The case of the missing blanket

Is closed.

(SLURPING)

Oh, yuck!

If we hurry, we can still

get Tinku ready for the contest.

Priya, if you wanna go

with the orange side,

I'll take off my blue pom-poms.

I have a better idea.

Something we'll both like.

(WHISPERING)

Come on, Tinku,

let's get you looking fabulous.

(GRUNTING)

-Go, Tinku!

-Yay!

Five stars for Tinku.

We got the best score.

All right!

Congratulations to Tinku,

the best-dressed camel at the fair.

I must say, I'm impressed,

and it takes a lot to impress me.

We couldn't have done it without Mira.

That's our cousin.

Hey, Tinku, now that the contest is over,

let's talk racing.

If the three of us team up,

we'll be unstoppable.

What do you say, you big ol' big guy, you?

(GRUNTING)

-(BOTH SCREAMING)

-Runaway camel!
