Blueberry(reading) it was a dark and not-so-stormy night.

Everything was quiet in the sleepy little town.

No one knew it then,

But strange things were about to happen!

(Meow)

Ah ha! You there! Caught you red-handed!

I saw right through that disguise.

I knew you were you all along!

I, patti persimmon, genius detective,

Have solved another baffling mystery!

Oh, bosley isn't she just incredible?

(Yawning) oh, incredi...ble.

(Snoring)

"The case of the missing friend." I started reading it

The second it came in and I can't put it down!

Um, hmm, mmm, it's just a bit past my bedtime. (Snoring)

Blueberry: oh, I'm sorry, bosley. But just listen to this chapter!

(Reading) "the dark and not-so-stormy night was followed by

A bright and not at all stormy day.

Using my brilliant brain, i, patti persimmon,

Genius detective, tracked down the suspect.

(Humming happily)

Yes, yes, (giggling) looking wonderful, wonderful.

Coming along beautifully!

A glorious glimmerberry crop this season!

Oh! Oh! Oh, my goodness me! How could it--

It couldn't! But it is!

How peculiar! What a mystery!

Raspberry, blueberry, orange blossom! It's time to get going!

It's a berry beautiful day for a swim

And we don't want to miss a minute!

Lemon: what are we waiting for? Raspberry: yes!

(Excited chatter)

Whoa, hold on! Where's blueberry?

Wherever she is, it isn't here.

Come to think of it, she's been missing out on a lot lately.

Yeah, I was supposed to have lunch with her yesterday,

But she called and postponed it until next week.

Same with her haircut appointment.

She called and cancelled.

(Knocking on door)

Together: huh?

Blueberry? Uh, blueberry?

Blueberry: aha!

Both: yikes!

Hi, strawberry, raspberry! Come in, come in!

Oh!

Blueberry: you're just in time to help me with these new books.

Happy to-- (struggling)

Whoa! Help!

Whoa, whoa!

Raspberry: whoa, whoa! What's happening to your store?

I'm trying to make room for all

The patti persimmon books I ordered!

Of course they should go in the "mystery" section.

Then again, I could put some under "best-seller",

Because I know they'll be best-sellers!

(Sighing)

Where are all your other books?

No room, I had to move them out.

I only have patti persimmon mysteries now.

It's all I read!

(Grunt)

Blueberry, mysteries are great,

But you love all sorts of books.

You like learning about all kinds of things.

But patti persimmon mysteries are the best books

I've come across in ages!

And she's such a fantastic detective!

I wish I could be that smart...

(Laughing) you are smart, blueberry.

And such a good memory for details.

(Giggles) well, you could use a little help there, I might say.

Both: huh?

(Giggles) well, you did forget we were all going swimming today, remember?

Oh, no, was that today?

I'm sorry, girls. I'd like to get all these books organized.

Perhaps another day, okay?

Okay. There's our nature hike tomorrow.

I'll be there. You can count on me.

It's just today I'm so busy.

Okay. Come on, raspberry.

(Door closes)

Strawberry, raspberry! Come quick, come see!

Berrykin bloom!

What is it? Can't you tell us what's the matter?

If I told you, you'd never believe me!

Better you should see with your own eyes!


Raspberry: oh! See what?

(Girls gasp)

See...that!

Strawberry: oh! What's happened to that glimmerberry plant?

It's caught a case of the rare,

The unusual, the mysterious... Plaiddus spottus!

Whattus whoozus?

Plaiddus spottus. It's a condition which causes

The plants to turn plaid and polka dotted.

Oh, is it bad?

Oh, it's not good.

And from a fashion sense? Plaid and polka dots? Awful!

What causes it?

That's a mystery!

I recall reading somewhere...

It's a lack of a certain vitamin.

But which one, I can't recall.

Does it hurt the berries?

Not that I remember, but I don't know for sure.

Oh, c-can you do anything?

Hmm, maybe if I mixed up a batch of

Extra-special-vitamin plant food.

Why, yes! That's it! Wonderful idea, off I go!

Well, guess we'd better get to the pond

If we want to go swimming today.

Yeah I guess.

Strawberrylet's make sure we have everything we need

For the nature hike. Lunch?

Check!

Strawberry: binoculars?

(Falling grunt) check!

Guide books?

Un-check! Blueberry was supposed to bring them.

She forgot to bring them?

She forgot to bring herself.

Oh, blueberry. Hmm...

Let's swing by and see what's keeping her.

(Knocking)

Strawberry: blueberry? Did you forget about our nature hike?

(Reading) "gone detecting." Wonder what that means?

Lemonblueberry? Are you in there? Hello?

Blueberry: you there!

Blueberry?

Detective blueberry.

How do I look?

(Chuckles) like patti persimmon.

Thanks! What are you up to?

Wait! Don't tell me, let me figure it out like patti does.

She really knows how to get into the mind of a criminal.

Criminal?

Mm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mm-hmm!

Well! My keen powers of deduction

Tell that me you're... Going on a nature hike!

How'd you guess.

It was no guess!

I asked myself, "why would these girls

Have butterfly nets and binoculars?"

What a coincidence! We were just asking ourselves,

"Why don't we have nature guidebooks?"

What nature guidebooks?

The ones you were going to bring?

Oops. I think they got boxed up.

To make room for all the new patti persimmon mysteries.

Well, are you going to join us for the hike?

You might wanna change.

Oh, girls, I'm sorry. I don't wanna hold you up.

See, I really need to practice my detecting skills.

We have muffins! Your favoriteblueberry!

You do? Oh, no thank you. I don't care for muffins.

Huh? Huh?

See you later. I'm off to solve another mystery!

Uh...isn't it patti persimmon who doesn't like muffins?

Not blueberry?

I mean I like patti persimmon books, too,

But what happened to our friend, blueberry?

(Sigh) that's the real mystery.

If you ask me, blueberry's getting way carried away

With those patti persimmon mysteries.

I know! Let's try and find a really new

And interesting plant specimen to bring back for her.

Something to remind her of her other interests.

(Girls gasping)

You mean, maybe something like that?!

Raspberry: what is it?!

Oh, no! It's called plaiddus spottus

(Gasp) and it's spreading!

Indeed it is!

My extra-special vitamin-enriched plant food

Didn't work!

Does that mean all the plants could end up like this?

I'm afraid that's true, I just don't know what to do!

Oh! What if we cleared away the plants that are close?

So it couldn't spread?

Yes, yes, yes! Just might work!

(Girls grunting)

♪

(Sigh) thanks, everyone.

Berrykin bloom says that should take care of the problem.

Whew! That sure was a lot of work.

And it would've been easier if we had some help


From you-know-who.

Yes, I know.

Why don't we plan something fun for tomorrow?

We deserve it for working so hard.

Maybe a big picnic in the meadow?

Sounds good. But right now, I need a nap. An all night nap.

(Yawning) see you guys in the morning.

Girls: good night! Sleep well!

Blueberry?

You there! I'm just about to solve the mystery

Of why these flowers would wanna close up like this.

Maybe they feel sad. Maybe they feel embarrassed?

Uh, maybe 'cause it's getting dark?

And that's what flowers do at night?

Ah-hah! It's because it's getting dark

And that's what flowers do at night!

This mystery is solved!

Hmm...if you're finished with this mystery,

Would you have time to solve another?

Of course! Really? What is it?!

No, no, no, wait, don't tell me.

The mystery of the mysterious mystery! What could it be?!

Why would a mystery want to be mysterious?

What kind of thing would strawberry find mysterious?

Why don't I give you a clue?

(Gasp)

You there!

Why do the plants look like this?

That's the mystery.

Something's making them turn plaid and polka dotted.

But I'm sure you can find the answer in one of your books?

No, no, no, I'm going to solve this case

The patti persimmon way!

And she always begins by gathering clues.

And then comes the fun part.

Fun part?

Yes. Getting into the mind of the criminal!

Asking herself how a criminal thinks!

Hmm...why would plants want to be polka dot and plaid?

Maybe they were bored.

Uh...

Ah ha! I know what's wrong with these plants!

Someone...has been painting them.

Why would anybody do that?

Exactly! That is what I'm going to find out!

I'm going to wait for the criminal to return

To the scene of the crime!

They always do that, you know. I learned it from...

Patti persimmon, genius detective!

(Long sigh)

I'll stay out here all night if I have to!

Not a thing will escape my keen eye!

And the other one, too!

(Snoring)

(Owl hooting)

(Gasp)

(Sigh)

Oh my! This is berry bad.

The are even more plaids and polka dots now.

Well hey, maybe blueberry solved the mystery.

Where is she anyway?

She was around here somewhere.

(Gasping) (snoring)

(Blueberry snoring)

Uh, blueberry?

(Startled gasp)

Ah ha! You there! So it was you all along!

And your criminal accomplice! This case is solved!

So...

What made you do it?

Uh, do what?

Paint plaids and spots on the berry plants.

We didn't paint anything.

Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night?

We came to check on you. To make sure you were okay.

Actually, it's morning now.

Ah ha! I knew that.

I just wanted to see if you knew that I knew.

(Chuckles) you know?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mystery to solve!

Somewhere out here is a master criminal,

A fiend with no sense of fashion!

Raspberry: oh no! What are we going to do about blueberry?!

Orange: we never see her anymore.

And even when she's here, she's not really here.

She's pretending to be patti persimmon.

Yeah. I think...i just may have an idea!

Now, I'll need everybody's help.

(Strawberry whispers)

There's another mystery, blueberry.

One that has us all stumped.

Well, I am still working on

The spotted-plaid-plant mystery,

But I think can fit another one in.

In "the multiple mulberries mystery,"

Patti persimmon juggled cases at the same time,

And solved them all! She's just so great!

So, you there, what's the new mystery?

Well, it's sort of a...

A missing person case.


Ah ha! Why would a person go missing?

As patti persimmon would say, "time to get a clue or two."

(Pen clicks)

This missing person? They haven't been seen recently?

You might say that.

Ah ha! I knew it! Now, what is their favorite color?

Favorite color? Uh, blue!

If it was wednesday.

It is wednesday.

Where might I find this person on a wednesday,

I mean, if they weren't missing?

Uh, at the cafe? At book club?

Say no more! Your missing person is as good as found!

You're probably wondering why I called you here today.

Because, uh, we're having book club here today?

Besides that.

You uh, figured out who's missing?

Ah ha! Close!

It's because I've almost figured out who's missing!

Just a few more questions and this case

Will be closed like a door slammed in a strong wind.

My keen detective mind tells me the answers to those questions

Are in...this very room!

What uh, sorts of questions?

What is this person's favorite food?

That'd be...muffins.

Ah ha!

Especially blueberry muffins.

Ah ha!

What about hobbies?

Uh, uh well, um...oh! She loves to read books.

Ah ha! It's a girl! You said "she!"

I've gathered the clues and I'm putting them together.

She likes the color blue

And has a suspicious fondness for blueberry muffins.

She likes to read books and should be here at book club,

If she weren't missing.

And the only person like that is...

Yeah?

Well, who is it?

C'mon, the suspense is too much!

The only person like that is...

Me.

Lemon: way to go! Raspberry: all right!

Orange: it's you alrighty.

Plum: you did it, blueberry!

Strawberry: you solved the mystery!

So I'm the missing person?

(Chuckles) that's right!

Yeah, guess I haven't been around so much lately, huh?

And we've been missing you.

Berrykin bloom: come quick, everyone, to the grove!

Berrykin bloom: just look, look, look!

Plaiddus spottus has spread to everything!

Lemon: that does not look good.

It's as bad as a curse! And watch this it gets worse!

What happened? Your glimmerberry sparkles didn't stick.

Indeed. And if the sparkles do not stick,

The glimmerberry cannot be harvested.

But if the glimmerberries can't be harvested...

There will be no power to run the town.

There has to be something we can do.

Whatever are we going to do?

Maybe blueberry can help us.

Me?

You could do some research with your books.

I'm berry sure you can find a way

To stop the plaiddus spottus.

I can try.

(Gasp)

According to this book, we need half-a-smidgen of this.

Yes, yes, that's just what it says.

And this book says we need a quarter-pinch of this.

Now, let me check my notes.

Yes, says it right there. Page , indeed it does.

Blueberry: and finally, a little dash of this.

There, that ought to do it.

Oh, I hope this works!

Give it a second.

(Girls cheering)

(Happy cheer)

(Spraying water)

(Everyone cheering)

It sure is good to have you back, blueberry.

It's great to be back.

I guess I didn't make a good detective, anyway.

You made a berry fine detective.

But you make an even better friend.

And that's no mystery!
