MIRA: Mystery at the gymnastics Show.

-Ready to warm up, sis?

-Ready.

-ALL: Whoa!

-Wow.

-Wow.

-You're so good.

-Ooh!

-Wow.

ALL: Go Preeti.

ALL: Go Neeti.

MIKKU: We've got some talented cousins,

don't we, Mira?

You sure do, Mikku.

Heh. What can we say?

Talent runs in our family.

-(MIRA GASPS)

-ALL: Wow.

BOTH: Ta-da.

(ALL TALKING EXCITEDLY)

And that was just a warm-up, people.

-Thank you so much.

-Oh, thanks.

Preeti, Neeti, thanks for coming

all the way from the city

to do your rope gymnastics show.

-I can't wait for everyone to see it.

-Yeah.

Oh, we're just so happy

to be back here in Jalpur with you guys.

I even brought my sketchpad

so I can draw pictures

of all the special moments.

There's a special moment for you, Neeti.

Right there.

Hey, cuz, we got this

rope gymnastics thing down.

Chikku, get your butt out of my face.

Oh, got it.

It's wonderful, Neeti.

Neeti, draw a picture of me on the rope.

Oh, yes.

We need one of those.

Make sure you have my headband

in the picture, sis.

That's a beautiful headband, Preeti.

PREETI: Thanks, Mira.

It's my lucky headband.

I never do a gymnastics show without it.

Check out the sparkles.

When I wear it, I always do a great job.

And done.

While we're here,

I need to get a picture of the palace.

We don't have palaces back in the city.

And the river.

We don't have rivers, either.

Well, we've got some time

before the show starts.

Mikku, Chikku,

why don't you take your cousins

on a tour of Jalpur

while we finish getting ready?

Chikku, are you thinking

what I'm thinking?

Yes, we could take them around

on our good friend, Bhanu, the goat.

(BLEATS)

I guess that wasn't

what Bhanu was thinking.

Bhanu, where are you going?

Come back here, Bhanu.

-(BHANU BLEATS)

-BOTH: Aw.

I have a better idea.

Why don't you take them on a tour

on your flycycle?

A flycycle?

What's that?

A flycycle cannot be described.

It must be experienced!

PREETI: Oh, yeah.

NEETI: I love this flycycle.

Paws on the handlebars, Chikku.

Paws on the handlebars.

Whoo!

-Draw lots of pictures.

-See you soon.

Okay, Neel,

the mats are all set up for the show.

Great. The ropes are good to go, too.

And it looks like

our guest of honor have returned.

Neel, duck!

NEEL: Whoa!

Whoopsie, my bad.

This concludes your tour of Jalpur.

NEETI AND PREETI: Thanks.

I drew so many great sketches.

I can't wait to see them.

Neeti, Preeti, is there anything you need

before the gymnastics show?

No. All set.

(GASPS) Preeti, your headband.

What? My lucky headband. It's gone!

-Not good.

-Oh, no!

It must've fallen off.

Everyone, let's look around.

It's not here.

Don't see it.

Not finding it.

What am I going to do?

I never perform without my lucky headband.

It's true, Mira. She doesn't.

Preeti, don't worry. We'll find it.

We're on the case.

(SINGING)

We're on the case, we're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Look a little closer

with your magnifying glass ♪

Open up your notebook ♪

Get your coat and badge on fast ♪

Ask all the questions

Follow your senses ♪

Focus on every clue ♪

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after ♪

That's what detectives do ♪

We're on the case, we're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Preeti, let's start

with the description of your headband.

The more details, the better.

It has sparkly pink sequins

Lots of sparkly pink sequins!

And when do you last remember having it?

-After we did our warm-up routine.

-Oh, right.

Neeti drew a picture with you wearing it.

I did.

It's right here.

So maybe your headband fell off

when you were on the ropes.

Guys, any sign of it?

-Nope.

-Not over here, Mira.

Nothing over here.

Where could it be?

-Where?

-It's okay, Preeti.

We'll find it.

We just have to keep looking.

So we know it's not in the park.

It's also not in the flycycle.

MIRA: Hmm.

Maybe it fell off at one of the places

you stopped on your tour.

Let's go check.

Chikku, you know what that means.

BOTH: Flycycle time.

-(LAUGHING)

-PREETI: Okay, yeah.

NEETI: Yippee!

PREETI: Another ride!

CHIKKU: Jump in.

MIKKU: I'll steer.

Mira, Neel, you hop in, too.

No time to lose.

Uh, Chikku,

I don't think Neel and I

are going to fit in your flycycle.

Oops, sorry. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

-Excellent point.

-(HONKS)

Don't worry. I've got mine.

CHIKKU: I call window seat!

-Yippee!

-It's super-sized.

Chalo, chalo. Let's go.

NEETI: Preeti, isn't this glorious?

PREETI: Oh, yeah. This is the life.

Hey, Mikku,

I think Preeti is having such a good time

that she forgot about losing her headband.

Chikku, you just reminded her.

(SIGHS) I could never forget

about my lucky headband.

Not when we have a show to do.

Preeti, don't worry, okay? We'll find it.

So where did you stop first?

CHIKKU: Down there.

MIKKU: In Goat Alley.

PREETI: I've never seen

so many goats in my life.

NEETI: We don't have a lot

of goats back in the city.

Oh, we know lots of stuff about goats.

And we're friends

with all the goats in town.

And they're our good buddy, Bhanu.

Hey, Bhanu.

(BLEATING)

So, Preeti, what did you do

when you stopped here?

I looked at the view from the archway.

You can see the whole palace from there.

It's so beautiful, I had to make a sketch.

Neeti, may I see your sketch?

Right here, Mira.

MIRA: Huh. Preeti, you're wearing

your headband in this picture.

So you must have had it on

when you were here.

Maybe it fell off

at one of the other stops.

Good point, Neel.

Where else did you stop?

Let's see. We went to the chai shop.

Okay, let's go check there.

(GOATS BLEATING)

You know, we also went to the bangle shop,

the fruit cart, the chai shop,

the river, and the music shop.

Don't forget the restaurant,

the chai shop,

the sword shop, the chai shop

and the clock tower.

You stopped at all those places?

Prince Neel, we are serious tourists.

And we needed a lot of pictures.

For all our special moments.

So I drew them.

Mira, the show is starting soon.

If the headband isn't at the chai shop,

we won't have time

to check all those other places.

You're right.

Neeti, may I see your sketchpad?

Sure, Mira.

-Here.

-Hmm.

I think there's a faster way

to find Preeti's headband.

-OTHERS: There is?

-Yes.

Let's think this through.

We know Preeti had

her headband in the park.

We also know that

in each place you stopped on the tour,

Neeti drew a picture with Preeti in it.

If we check the pictures,

we can see

if Preeti was wearing her headband

in all of them or not.

That could help us figure out

where she lost it.

That's a really good idea.

She's a genius!

Okay, everyone, let's go through

Neeti's pictures one at a time.

CHIKKU: Ah, Goat Alley.

MIKKU: Remember the dhaba?

-Now that was a good time.

-CHIKKU: Ah, memories.

Oh, how it makes me hungry.

MIKKU: Aw, I'm so handsome.

Uh, Mira,

she's wearing her headband

in all the pictures.

Hang on, there's one more

from when you went to the deck

of the clock tower.

Preeti, where's your headband?

NEETI: (GASPS)

You're not wearing it in that picture.

So if Preeti didn't have

her headband by the clock tower,

maybe it's somewhere around there.

-Neel, let's head to the clock tower.

-On it.

I don't see Preeti's headband anywhere.

Neither do I.

Oh, where is it? Where is it?

I found something. Look.

MIRA: Pink sequins.

They're from my headband.

Progress, people.

Uh, where's the rest of her headband?

-(BELL TOLLS)

-ALL: Whoa!

Sure is a lot louder when you're

-(BELL TOLLS)

-right under the clock.

-It's raining sequins.

-Sequins?

Everyone, look up.

PREETI: Hey, my headband.

Well, well, well, so the clock took it.

If you can't trust a clock,

who can you trust?

Neeti, may I see your drawings again?

Preeti, around the time

you were posing for this picture,

your headband must

have gotten caught on the clock hand.

Well, we did do a loop-de-loop

in the flycycle.

That must have been when it happened.

Preeti, I'll grab my flycycle

and get it down for you.

Meet you at the bottom.

(ALL CLAMORING)

MIKKU: Come on, Neel.

NEEL: And almost Got it.

(ALL CHEERING)

(BOTH GASP)

Soggy samosas!

Preeti, it doesn't look like

there's much left of your headband.

Oh, I can't believe this.

I understand, Preeti.

I feel sad when I lose things

that are important to me, too.

I'm so sorry about your headband.

We're sorry, too.

Hugs.

It's just about time

for the gymnastics show.

Chalo, chalo. Let's go!

Neeti, look at all these people.

They're all here to see you, cuz.

And you too, other cuz.

Neeti, I can't perform

without my headband.

But you should perform without me.

What? I could never do that.

But you've been practicing so hard.

So have you.

Preeti, maybe it's not your headband

-that makes you a great gymnast.

-Yeah.

I'll bet you're pretty great

even without it.

Oh, no. I'd never be able to do a show

without my headband.

I'd be too scared.

Preeti, I believe in you.

You are?

Thanks, everyone. You're the best.

(ALL CHEERING)

-Yeah, all right.

-All right.

-Preeti

-(BOTH GRUNT)

BOTH: You got this.

Hi, everyone.

And thanks for coming out today.

We're so excited

for you to see a very special sport.

Mallakhamb rope gymnastics.

And here to show it to you

all the way from the big city

are Preeti and Neeti.

(CROWD APPLAUDS)

(CROWD GASPING)

Those are our cousins, people.

So proud. So proud.

MIRA: The Case of the Curious Confetti.

One last card, Chikku.

You can do this.

Easy does it, Chikku.

Watch the master at work.

-(GRUNTING)

-Easy.

-Hey, guys.

-(YELLS)

Prince Neel, check out our house of cards.

Nice. Check out my new invention.

(RATTLES)

Huh?

-(WHIRS)

-(YELLING)

Oh, no.

(CLATTERING)

Watch the house of cards.

Watch the house of cards.

(YELPS)

-(THUD)

-CHIKKU: Oh.

No!

(SIGHS) So close.

So close.

I'm really sorry about that.

This thing still needs some work.

But I've got a very important question

to ask you.

Who here likes picnics?

BOTH: Picnics?

We love picnics.

I think everyone in Jalpur

likes picnics, Neel.

That's what I think, too.

Which is why

I'm throwing a picnic in the park

for the entire town today.

That's so great!

-Excellent news.

-We are so there.

And I made this invention

to print and hand out

the picnic invitations.

Watch this.

Come on. Please work.

(GRUNTS)

Soggy samosas.

It chewed up the invitation.

Ooh. I like the kite.

Sounds like it's going to be a big party.

Do you need any help?

Nope. The royal palace servers

are putting out blankets

and food in the park.

A band is setting up to play

And there'll be a mango lassi maker, too.

This is gonna be

the picnic of the century.

I've already started telling people

about the picnic,

but I think invitations

will add an extra touch.

A very classy touch.

I just want to show everyone in town

how much they mean to me.

That's so nice of you, Neel.

Now I just need to get these invitations

delivered to everyone with my invention.

MIKKU: Whoa!

CHIKKU: What's happening?

(SIGHS) It's really not working.

Mira. Can I leave my invention here

while I go get a tool to fix it?

Absolutely.

Are you sure you don't need

any help, though?

I'm sure. I've got everything under

It's alive!

BOTH: Whoa!

control.

Well

It will be under control

as soon as I get it fixed.

See you in a bit.

Good luck, Neel.

Let's got get some extra mangoes

for the mango lassi maker.

CHIKKU: You read my mind.

Let's go.

(CLATTERING AND CLICKING)

Here you go, Mira.

The mangoes are ripe and ready to eat.

Thank you, Uncle.

See ya at Prince Neel's picnic.

KAMALA: Mira, can you please

come here for a minute?

That sounds like Kamala.

Let's go see what's going on.

Don't worry, Kamala. We're on our way.

Mira. Look what just appeared

on my mom's cart.

Is that confetti?

Yes. And it's everywhere.

BOTH: Whee!

-Confetti dance party.

-Oh, yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

-All right.

I love confetti. Trust me.

But not when it gets all over

the nice cold kulfi we made.

Not the kulfi.

I can't dance anymore.

The party is over. (GROANS)

Okay, Kamala. Tell me what happened.

When I came out before,

I saw the confetti everywhere

so I cleaned it up.

Then I had to run inside to help my mom.

When I came back out,

there was even more of it.

How strange.

And you have no idea where it came from?

Nope.

I really want to go

to Prince Neel's picnic,

but what if more confetti shows up?

I don't want to leave

a big mess for my mom.

Kamala, I know Prince Neel

will want you to be at the picnic.

BOTH: And so do we.

Don't worry. We will figure out

where this confetti is coming from.

And how to stop it.

We're on the case.

(SINGING)

We're on the case, we're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Look a little closer

with your magnifying glass ♪

Open up your notebook ♪

Get your coat and badge on fast ♪

Ask all the questions,

Focus on every clue ♪

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers,

find what you're after ♪

That's what detectives do ♪

We're on the case, we're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Kamala. Did you notice any other

strange things besides the confetti?

I did. I heard an odd noise.

What did it sound like?

Like this. (MIMICS BUZZING, BLABBERS)

(FLAPS LIPS)

I know exactly what that was.

Mikku blowing his nose.

For your information,

I do not sound like that

when I blow my nose.

I sound like this.

(DRAWN-OUT BLABBERING)

Hmm Fair enough.

Let's see if we can find any other clues

on the cart.

Check it out.

This piece of confetti

is bigger than the others.

And it looks like it has a drawing on it.

A-ha.

Very mysterious.

What's it supposed to be?

I'm not sure.

But it might be a clue.

Let's hang on to it.

Mira. I've been looking

everywhere for you.

Oh, there's confetti here, too?

Priya. You saw confetti somewhere else?

Oh. Yeah. Come see.

MIKKU: Unbelievable.

CHIKKU: We have to see this.

Kamala, as soon as I figure out

what's going on, I'll let you know.

Thanks, Mira.

MIKKU: That's more confetti, all right.

CHIKKU: Definitely confetti.

So, tell me what happened.

I was painting a picture here on the wall,

I went to get a different paint brush,

and when I came back,

there was confetti all over it.

And you have no idea where it came from?

No. And if I don't peel it off

before the paint dries,

it'll be stuck forever.

Chikku, you know what I'm thinking?

BOTH: Confetti peelers at your service.

Peel. Peel. Peel.

Peel. Peel.

Peel. Peel. Peel.

BOTH: Peel. Peel. Peel

Check out this big piece of confetti.

It looks like it has

some kind of drawing on it.

Just like the piece

we found on Kamala's cart.

Priya, did you hear any noises

before you first saw the confetti?

I sure did. A really strange noise.

-Oh. Oh.

-Did it sound like this?

(BLABBERING)

(FLAPS LIPS)

Yes. Exactly.

How did you know?

It's the same noise Kamala heard

before the kulfi cart

got confetti all over it.

(RATTLING IN DISTANCE)

And there it is again.

-That wasn't me.

-Or me.

Look. More confetti in the garden square.

Priya, we'll be back. Come on, guys.

-To the confetti.

-CHIKKU: Onward.

I hope you figure this out!

Soon.

(MOOING ANGRILY)

ALL: (GASP) Deputy Oosha.

(MOOS)

Here. Let us help get that off.

Hold still.

(SOFTLY) No, Chikku.

Don't do that. Not with her tail.

(MOOING ANGRILY)

Really, Mikku?

That is no way

to treat an officer of the law.

Deputy Oosha, did you see

where this confetti came from?

Mmm-mmm.

One more piece.

Hang on, Deputy.

Deputy, when I figure out what's going on,

-I'll let you know.

-(MOOING)

Huh. Another big piece of confetti

with a drawing on it.

There has to be a connection

to the other two.

Mira, this is no time

to be playing with confetti.

Unless we get to play, too.

They look similar.

Let's see what happens

if we put them together.

It kinda looks like

BOTH: A samosa!

Well, to me it looks more like a kite.

I saw a picture of a kite before.

But where?

I know. On Neel's picnic invitation.

Let's think this through.

When we put the three

pieces of confetti together,

they form the kite from Neel's invitation.

Prince Neel said he was going

to use his invention

to hand out the invitations,

but it wasn't working right.

Maybe Neel's invention

was ripping up the invitations,

turning them into confetti

and blowing them all around town.

That must be what happened.

But even if we can find Neel's invention,

how will we stop it from making confetti?

There's one person who could help us.

Neel. Let's go find him.

MIKKU: There he is.

Neel!

Oh, hi.

I finally found the tool

to fix my invention.

What's going on?

We're on a case.

And I think you're the only person

who can help us.

(RUSTLING IN DISTANCE)

What's with all the confetti?

We think your invention

is shredding the invitations

and turning them into confetti.

Soggy samosas. That's terrible.

Instead of spreading the word

about the picnic,

it's spreading a big mess.

Neel, don't worry.

There's still time to save your picnic.

All we need to do

is find your invention and turn it off.

Mira, we will search the entire town

if that's what it takes

to save the picnic.

The snacks, the music,

the mango lassi maker.

They cannot and will not go to waste.

Thanks, guys.

Neel, we know

your invention is somewhere in town.

We also know it's on the move.

Let's split up so we can find it.

I'll use my flycycle.

BOTH: And we'll use ours.

Great. Chalo, chalo. Let's go!

See anything from up there, Neel?

No sign of the confetti.

Maybe Mikku and Chikku

are having better luck.

MIKKU: Watch your carts.

And your heads, people!

Snow! Can you believe it, Mikku?

And in the middle of summer.

Snow is white, Chikku.

That's confetti.

Ew. Ugh!

(SQUAWKS)

Whoa! Sorry.

It's not over here.

(BLEATING)

CHIKKU: Neel's invention! Where are you?

MIKKU: Confetti invention!

CHIKKU: More confetti!

Let's head that way.

Heads up, Deputy Oosha.

Mira. We found some more confetti.

Great. Lead the way.

MIKKU: Confetti over there.

CHIKKU: By the carrot cart.

But where's my invention?

(RATTLING)

ALL: There it is!

-(GASPS)

-You don't scare us.

Stand back.

I got us into this mess,

so I'll get us out.

(GRUNTS) Gotcha!

Seriously? (COUGHS)

(AIR HISSING)

Okay. It's off.

And apparently out of invitations

to shred into confetti.

Great job, Neel.

Case closed.

So closed.

Let's get this picnic started, people.

Neel, we're going to need a lot of help

to get all this confetti cleaned up

before the picnic.

Maybe not.

I have an idea.

Great picnic, Neel.

Thanks for everything today, Mira.

I guess I may have gotten in

over my head with all the planning.

It's okay to ask for help.

Especially from a friend.

I will, next time.

Trust me.

Your invention is working so great now.

Yep.

Turns out my invention is even better

at cleaning up messes than making them.

MIKKU: Missed a spot.

CHIKKU: Back it up.

Let's go.

Next stop, mango lassi maker.

(CHIKKU GROANS)

CHIKKU: Too far, Mr. Invention. Too far!

MIKKU: How do you

make this thing go backwards?
