Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

MIRA: The Mystery of The Fluffy Pillows.

Only 700 pieces to go.

(YAWNS) Chikku, I'm ready for my nap.

Me too, Mikku, me too.

Ugh, ooh!

BOTH: Aah!

Nap time just isn't the same

without our fluffy pillows.

I miss them so much.

When are we getting them back?

As soon as Priya finishes sewing them up

from our epic pillow fight.

But what are we going

to use for our nap?

Well, I can use this book.

Sure, and this vase

looks comfy.

(BOTH SIGH) Not the same.

Ugh! There's nothing

like a fluffy pillow.

Hey, pillow

I'm thinking about you

I don't want to spend

One minute without you

I try to fall asleep

But I don't know how to

When you're not here

Wish you were here

Fluffy pillow

You're More than just a pillow to me

You make a mongoose feel

So safe and happy

That's exactly why

I need you by my side

Hold you tight

It's fluffy pillow time

Ooh, oh, oh, ooh

So comfy and cozy, yeah

So fluffy and flowy, uh-huh

So puffy

I only wanna close my eyes

Take a nap

Knowing that you got my back

-Hey, pillow, I'm thinking about you

-Whoo

I don't want to spend

-One minute without you

-No, no

I try to fall asleep

But I don't know how to

-When you're not here

-No

Wish you were here

-A pillow's always there like a friend

-Yeah

A pillow really cares when you're scared

It understands

-Through the good and bad and in between

-Yeah

It's everything

You've ever dreamed

You can cuddle with it

Snuggle with it

You can even build a pillow fort

And a tunnel with it

And when you're busy day

Is finally through

That fluffy pillow's always right there

Waiting for you

Hey, pillow, pillow, pillow, pillow, ahh

MIRA: Mikku! Chikku!

It's Mira.

Your pillows are ready

at the boutique.

Our fluffy pillows?

Once we get them back,

we can finally nap again.

To the boutique!

-After me!

-No, after me.

-No, no, no. After me.

-No! After me, please.

MIKKU: Does this rickshaw go any faster?

We don't want to keep

our fluffy pillows waiting.

CHIKKU: They miss us a lot, Mira.

We'll be there soon, guys.

-BOTH: Whoa!

-(TIRES SCREECHING)

-Hi, Tinku!

-Somebody's in a hurry.

Look both ways, big guy.

Mira, isn't Tinku supposed

to have one hump?

Yes. Why?

-He's growing an extra one.

-And it's moving!

-Run!

-CHIKKU: Hide!

Guys, it's just Babli.

Meow! Meow!

-Hi, Babli.

-I knew it was a cat the whole time.

Look at them. Too cute.

You know what's cuter?

Me, snuggling with my fluffy pillow.

Yes. We've got to get to the boutique.

See you later, Tinku. Bye, Babli.

-Priya, we're here.

-Hi, Mira. Perfect timing.

-Priya, how are they?

-Are they doing okay?

-Do they miss us?

-Are they all clean?

Who? Oh, your fluffy pillows!

They're doing great.

I sewed up the holes and washed them,

so they're nice and clean.

Did you snuggle with them?

They really like to be snuggled.

Uh, no one can snuggle

with them as well as you two.

They're hanging up outside

on the clothes line.

-MIKKU: Hang on, fluffy pillows.

-CHIKKU: We're coming for you.

BOTH: Where are they? Where are they?

Priya, I don't see them.

I hung them up this morning. Right here.

-Ooh!

-Breathe, Chikku. Breathe.

Fluffy pillows gone!

Maybe I'm dreaming,

but I can't be dreaming

because I can't sleep because

I don't have my fluffy pillow.

What are we going to do?

Mikku, Chikku, we are going

to find them. I promise.

We're on the case.

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

Priya, you said you hung the pillows

on the clothes line this morning.

Is that the last time you saw them?

Yes. Maybe Mummy brought them inside.

I'll go check the boutique.

Thanks, Priya.

We'll look around for clues.

(YAWNS) Hi, Mira.

I just had the best nap.

Best nap, eh?

Did you have the best nap

with the best fluffiest pillows?

Our pillows, the greatest

pillows in all of Jalpur?

Why would I use mongoose-sized pillows?

Huh, a very persuasive argument.

I'm convinced.

Uh, okay.

Bye.

Let's see what we can find.

Huh, what's this?

Bad news.

They're not in the boutique.

Did you find any clues?

Well, we found this piece

of orange yarn.

Our pillows are purple

and green, Mira.

Definitely not orange.

Priya, is there any chance

this orange yarn came from the boutique?

No, it's much thicker than

the thread we use to sew clothes.

So maybe the yarn is the clue.

Let's hold on to it.

Mira. Thank goodness

I found you.

Mrs. Noronha, what's wrong?

Something's missing from my toy shop.

A small wind-up toy mouse.

You're kidding. Someone stole our pillows.

The thief has expanded

into stealing toy mice.

Mikku, Chikku, let's not jump

to conclusions, okay?

We don't know what happened.

Well, my toy mouse

is definitely missing.

I was dusting

the display table

there was only this

yellow piece of yarn.

Hmm. It's like the yarn we

found under the clothes line.

Same size and thickness.

Where's this yarn coming from?

So strange.

-Um, Mira?

-May we have a word, please?

-In private?

-Excuse me.

What's up, guys?

We know that Mrs. Noronha's

toy mouse is very important.

BOTH: But what about

our pillows?

Well, since both pieces

of yarn we found are similar,

I wonder if you're missing pillows

and the missing mouse might be connected.

Oh, why didn't you say so?

We have a break

in the case, people.

Mrs. Noronha, I will need to do a thorough

investigation of your display table.

Oh, my. I feel so important.

I'll wait here in case someone

shows up with the pillows.

Thanks, Priya.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

So, Mrs. Noronha, the last time

you saw the wind-up toy mouse,

it was right here?

Yes. What puzzles me is that there are

all these wonderful wind-up toys.

Peacocks, frogs, mice.

Why would a toy mouse be

the only one to go missing?

Good question. I'm going

to look around for clues.

Thank you, Mira.

I'll be inside,

helping customers.

Chikku, look at

all these great toys.

They don't look snugly at all.

But maybe if we play with them,

we can forget about

how much we miss our pillows.

Come on, Chikku.

It's worth a shot.

Okay!

(BOTH SCREAM)

They're following us!

Try to catch me, peacock.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-(BOTH SCREAMING)

Guys, great job.

You found another clue.

BOTH: We did?

Another piece of yarn.

This one is green.

And it's the exact same size and thickness

as the other two pieces we found.

There definitely

seems to be a connection

between the missing mouse

and your pillows.

So what you're saying is that

the pillow taker's also a toy taker?

Maybe. The only way to know for sure

is to keep investigating.

(SNIFFING) Hmm. This green

string smells like something.

I can't quite place it.

Mira, stand back.

This is a job

for expert sniffers.

(SNIFFING)

I detect a sweet, spicy fragrance

with woody floral notes.

(SNIFFING)

Smells like chai.

(SNIFFING) It does smell

like chai.

Mira, why would the yarn

smell like chai?

Let's go to the chai stand

and see if we can find out

Even if we can't find an answer,

we can definitely find a chai.

-Hi, Kamala.

-Hi, Mira.

-We're on a new case.

-We're looking for our fluffy pillows.

And Mrs. Noronha's toy mouse.

While you're looking for those things,

if you find my wooden box,

-can you let me know?

-Kamala, your wooden box is missing too?

It sure is.

-I don't believe it.

-This can't be happening.

Kamala, can you describe

your wooden box for me?

Sure. It looks

just like this one.

Except it was empty.

I made myself a cup of chai

and when I turned back, it was gone.

Speaking of chai,

two cups, please.

It's the only thing that will

make us feel better.

Two chais. Coming right up.

Where would an empty box go?

Let me answer that question

with a question. Is our chai ready?

-KAMALA: Here you go.

-BOTH: Thank you.

Where exactly did you leave the empty box?

-Under the cart.

-(GASPS)

Guys, you're not going

to believe this.

Another piece

of the same yarn.

I don't know about you, but I'm really

getting sick of this yarn.

What we need is our pillows.

The yarn is going to lead us

to finding your pillows.

-It is?

-I'm so lost.

If we put the pieces of yarn together,

they make a tassel.

I've seen this tassel before.

Let's think this through.

A tassel like this

was on Tinku.

Babli the cat was playing with it.

(CAT MEOWING)

You think Tinku has

Mrs. Noronha's toy mouse?

-And Kamala's box?

-BOTH: And our fluffy pillows?

Let's go find Tinku

so we can ask.

Here Tinku! Here, boy!

Who's a good camel? Tinku is.

Excuse me, uncle.

Have you seen Tinku?

Ah, yes. I just saw him

under the banyan tree.

Banyan tree. Great. Thank you.

Look at all those people.

I wonder what's going on.

No time for questions, Mira.

We need our pillows.

-Excuse us.

-Pardon us.

Just using your head for a short cut.

You got a paw print on your head, Uncle.

Allow me.

-Tinku!

-We need to talk to you, buddy!

ALL: Shh!

-Dhruv, what's going on?

-Babli just got her kittens to sleep.

-Babli had kittens?

-She's a mamma?

ALL: Shh!

Guys, come here. Take a look.

(KITTENS PURRING AND MEOWING)

ALL: Aww!

Hey, there are our fluffy pillows.

And there's the missing toy mouse.

And that looks like Kamala's wooden box.

Of course, all the missing items

are things cats love,

including your pillows.

-Tinku?

-(GRUNTS)

Did you go around the market

collecting things to help take care

of Babli's kittens?

(GRUNTS)

That means the case

of the missing fluffy pillows

is closed.

But how do we get our fluffy pillows back?

Those kittens are really good

at snuggling them.

You know what we have to do right, Chikku?

Yes.

Babli can keep our pillows.

The kittens need them.

Mikku, Chikku. That's so sweet of you.

Babli can keep the toy mouse too.

And my wooden box.

She needs it for her kittens.

-(GRUNTS)

-BOTH: Shh! The kittens!

Mikku, Chikku, you're back!

We just went looking for new pillows.

Check these out.

That's the sweet spot!

Oh, yeah. These are good.

This isn't comfortable.

Who are we kidding?

Guys, I told Priya how you gave

your pillows to the kittens.

And it was so sweet that

I made you something special!

BOTH: New fluffy pillows!

For two of the kindest mongooses.

She definitely captured my kindness.

And my fluffiness.

BOTH: Thank you, Priya.

I made them extra snugly.

Do you think they like them?

MIRA: I'd say that's a yes.

That is way too cute.

MIRA AND PRIYA: (LAUGHING) Aww!

Priya, how would you feel about helping me

finish a puzzle?

MIRA: The Mystery of The Missing Jhumkas.

-Hello?

-Anyone here?

Your favorite mongooses

have arrived!

Now Priya, we need to make sure

the mirrors are spotless.

Oh, and the purses are all

facing the same direction.

And don't forget,

the saris need to be pleated.

Everything must be perfect.

Got it, Mummy!

Hi, Auntie Pushpa. Hi, Priya.

Are you all ready for the sale?

Hello, Mira, dear.

Not yet. This sale is unlike any sale

the shop has ever had.

And it's all because of my window display.

Which will be unlike any window displays

this shop has ever seen.

Whoa, whoa!

Soggy samosas.

Neel, are you okay?

Oh, hi, Mira. Yeah, I'm fine.

But the peacock,

not so fine.

Wow, Meena.

Your window display is incredible.

Just wait until it's finished.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Are you new to Jalpur?

That's rude.

It's always the well-dressed ones.

Mikku, Chikku. That's a mannequin,

not a real person.

Mannequins are used to display clothes

so people know what's on sale.

-Oh.

-I still don't trust her.

Meena, I love the peacock theme.

Me too.

I asked Prince Neel to help me create

the most amazing peacock display.

He was so inspired

that he even made a new invention for it.

That's right.

Say hello to the peacock pulley system.

You pull this rope and

-Incredible.

-Genius.

Question. Is it supposed to do that?

(LAUGHS) Uh

No. It's still a work in progress.

Prince Neel, I'm sure you'll fix it

before I'm back.

Meena, where are you off to now?

I just need to run out

and get a few more things.

More things?

How much is this display

costing me, Meena?

Mummy, you can't put a price tag

on perfection.

-Bye, everyone.

-Bye, Meena.

Aunty Pushpa, why is this sale

such a big deal?

Excellent question, Mira.

It's been ten years

since I opened the store.

So to celebrate, I wanted to do something

extra special.

-Special?

-I like the way that sounds.

Every customer who buys something

during the sale will get a chance

to put their names in this box,

to win a very special pair

-of jhumkas.

-Those are such beautiful earrings.

Mummy went to the jewelry store

and picked them out herself.

Do you want to see them?

Oh, what am I asking?

Of course you want to see them.

(GASPS)

No, this can't be!

The pouch is empty.

The jhumkas, they're Gone!

-What?

-No!

They have to be here somewhere.

Maybe they fell behind the counter.

BOTH: We'll look for them.

BOTH: Nope.

No earrings.

This is a disaster.

Mummy promised everyone that they'd have

a chance to win the jhumkas.

Oh, I need

-to sit down.

-Don't worry, Aunty Pushpa.

We'll find the earrings.

We're on the case.

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

Auntie Pushpa, can you tell me

a little more about the jhumkas?

They're like these

earrings, but much fancier.

They're gold, with gemstones,

and they have peacocks on them.

They also have earring backings

shaped like peacocks.

There's only one pair like them

in all of Jalpur.

But now, they're gone.

(CRYING) Gone!

It's going to be okay, Mummy.

Mira will find them.

Aunty Pushpa, you said you got them

from the jewelry store.

Why don't we go back there

and retrace your steps?

That is an

excellent idea.

Mira. I think I might have something

that could help you with your search.

Say hello to the Step-n-Spot.

It finds metal objects like things

made of gold.

The peacock earrings are made of gold.

Exactly. I'll show you how it works.

First you aim it, and listen for it ping.

(PINGING SOUND)

The closer you get to a metal object,

the louder it will ping.

I think it might be picking up

something over

Here!

Mikku, are you

hiding the earrings?

I don't have them.

There's nothing

back there, Chikku.

Where are they? Where are they?

Chikku, I think the Step-n-Spot is pinging

because of Mikku's glasses.

They're made

of metal.

I guess the Step-n-Spot works really well.

-Here you go.

-Oh, thank you, Prince Neel.

-Ready, Aunty?

-Yes.

Oh, Priya darling, could you look

after the boutique while I'm gone?

Of course, Mummy. Good luck.

Thank you, Mrs. Khan.

Back so soon, Pushpa?

Your sale is the talk of the town.

Everyone wants to win those

peacock earrings.

Oh, Mrs. Kapadia.

Funny story, actually.

I can't seem to find them.

Were the jhumkas in the pouch

when I left the store?

Yes, of course.

Remember, you insisted

on putting them in yourself.

Right, right.

Oh, where could the jhumkas be?

Maybe they fell out on your way

to the boutique.

Let's use Neel's Step-n-Spot

and see if we can find them.

Oh, I hope

this works.

Goodbye,

Mrs. Kapadia.

Hope you find the jhumkas, Pushpa.

Aunty Pushpa!

Oh, my.

What is that?

Hmm. It looks like

the arm of a large doll.

Hang on to this

for a second.

I'll give you a

hand with that.

I think Neel's invention

found something metal.

BOTH: Where? Where?

It's stopped.

Let's try

over here.

It's getting

louder.

Please be

my earrings!

(PINGING SOUND)

-Mikku, Chikku, can you look around?

-BOTH: At your service!

Aha!

-Ooh, here's one.

-Here's something metal.

-Here's something else.

-Nice.

You found

a few metal things.

A screw, a gear

Aunty Pushpa, does

this look familiar?

Yes. It's one of the backings

from the earrings.

But this isn't the way I walked back

to the boutique.

-What is it doing here?

-Good question.

If we walk in this direction,

maybe we can find them.

Deputy Oosha,

any reports of a missing arm?

-(MOOS)

-All right. Keep us posted.

Aunty. I'll use the Step-n-Spot

and see if it pings.

Okay? Aunty?

Pushpa, I can't wait for the sale.

I need to win those peacock jhumkas.

-(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

-Oh, you're excited about the sale?

How wonderful!

Mikku, Chikku. Keep your eyes peeled

for anything shiny. Okay?

-(LAUGHING)

-Mikku? Chikku?

BOTH: Puppet show! Puppet show!

Guys, we're on a case, remember?

-Encore!

-Encore!

More pings!

There must be something metal around here.

-Hi Ritu!

-Hi Mira.

What's making all that noise?

It's Prince Neel's new invention.

It makes a sound when it's near metal.

I think there might actually be something

metal on your puppet.

-May I see it, please?

-Sure.

Mira! I hear pinging.

Tell me you found the earrings?

Not yet, but I just found this. Look!

PUSHPA:

Another earring backing!

No, that's a pin for my puppet.

I found it on the ground.

Actually, Ritu, It's the back of one of

Aunty Pushpa's earrings

that have gone missing.

Oh, I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

Here you go.

-Where exactly did you find this?

-Over by the anklets stall.

Let's look there and see if we can

find the earrings.

Thanks, Ritu.

And Ritu dear, stop by the boutique

and I'll let you pick out a real pin

for your puppet.

I'd love that. Thanks, Aunty.

Aunty Pushpa! We'll take a pin too!

In exchange for this arm.

You know you want it.

Come on, Step-n-Spot. Come on!

I don't hear

any pings!

Mira! Look what we found.

A doll foot, to go with our doll arm.

I'm head over heels for this foot.

Whoo-hoo!

Now is not the time to play,

Mikku and Chikku.

Oh, Mira. Where could the jhumkas be?

I don't know, Aunty,

but we need to keep looking.

Come on, guys.

(PINGING SOUND)

More pinging? That way! Hurry!

Mira. Aunty. We got this!

No, wait!

BOTH: We found the earrings, Mira!

-What's all that noise?

-What's happening, Mira?

Mikku, Chikku, those are their earrings.

Sorry, Aunties.

We're on a case.

Excuse us, ladies.

Ten percent discount in my boutique

for the inconvenience.

Oh, goodness. The Step-n-Spot is pinging

at everything!

Neel did say his invention worked

really well.

Oh, where

are we now?

At the Boutique?

(SIGHS) We've gone in a big circle,

and we still haven't found the earrings.

-(PINGING SOUND)

-MIKKU: That's the Step-n-Spot.

There must be something metal over here.

-Ooh. Look at this wig.

-Let's try it on!

-Tada!

-Mira, how do we look?

It looks like there's

something stuck in it.

It's one of the jhumkas!

But where's the other one?

-Hey, Deputy Oosha!

-(MOOING)

It's us, Mikku and Chikku.

Wait a second.

I think I know where the earring is.

Let's think this through.

At each place that we found

a piece of the earrings,

we also found a wooden arm,

a wooden foot, and a wig.

All of those things are

parts of a mannequin.

And there's one person we saw

working on a mannequin today.

Meena! She took the jhumkas?

We need to go to the boutique

so we can ask her.

Chalo, chalo, let's go!

BOTH: There you are!

Are you missing something?

Wait, what?

Nina, do you know

where the other jhumka is?

Of course. I have it right here.

ALL: You have it?

Yes, and I was looking for that one.

Wait. Why do you have it?

We found it. Along with these.

Oh, they must have fallen out of my bag.

I need those for my mannequin.

Here's your leg.

And here's

your arm.

And here's

your fake hair.

BOTH: Looking good, Aunty.

Why did you take the mannequin

parts with you?

I brought them with me

so I could get bangles for the arm,

anklets for the ankles, and flowers

for the wig, obviously.

But why did you take the jhumkas, Meena?

So that everything would match perfectly.

I wanted to use the jhumkas

for my peacock window display

so everyone can see what they can win.

But I'm sorry, Mummy. I should have asked

-before I took them.

-It's okay.

I forgive you, baby.

Looks like the case of the missing

jhumkas is

Closed.

But our work isn't done.

We still have a sale to put on.

Come on, everyone.

There's no time to lose.

(CROWD CHATTERING)

Welcome, everyone

to our big anniversary sale!

Time for the big unveiling.

Let's hope this works.

(CROWD GASPS)

Great job, Neel.

Thanks, Mira. I couldn't have done it

without Mikku and Chikku.

Pull! Pull! Pull!

Meena, the display,

it's fabulous, darling.

I'm so

proud of you.

-(ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

-Thank you.

All right, everyone, who is ready to shop?

-(ALL CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

-Single file. No pushing.

You will all get a chance

to win the jhumkas.

Now, for the moment you have

all been waiting for.

The winner of the jhumkas is

Deputy Oosha?

(ALL GASP)

Deputy Oosha!

(MOOING)

(CROWD APPLAUDS)
