[bunniefuu]

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

Everybody knows I love

A mystery, big or small

I look close and then

I help my friends

There's nothing

She can't solve

Finding clues is what I do

So the Queen appointed you

Now my job's a dream come true

I'm Mira

Royal Detective

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

We'll take in the world

With a whole new perspective

Our small and mighty hero

We'll find the answers

Let's go

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

MIRA: Mystery on the Overnight Train

Mira, remember to pack

lightweight clothes.

It gets warm in the south.

Yes, Papa. I can't wait to take our first

overnight train trip.

(MIMICKING A TRAIN)

Hi, Mikku. Hi, Chikku.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say you're looking forward

to our trip.

We sure are.

You know it, people.

I can't believe we get

to sleep on the train.

I packed five laddoos and five mangoes.

And I packed five mangoes

and five laddoos.

That way, we could tell

our suitcases apart.

Papa, where's my Pallanguzhi game?

It's on the shelf.

Do you need me to get it for you?

Nope, I'll just use my grapple grabber.

Knock, knock. Hi, Mira.

Hi, Neel. Are you excited for the trip?

Yes. And I've invented

something super special for it.

Introducing the mobile detective lab.

When you're on the go,

your detective gear can go with you.

That's amazing.

-Oh!

-MIKKU: Sweet.

Wow, Neel.

Look at all the places

I can store my detective gear.

Oh, your magnifying glass goes here.

Your notebook goes there.

MIRA: And my grapple grabber goes here.

The handle pulls out and it's on wheels,

so it rolls easily.

-It's getting away!

-Come back here.

Then to lock the wheels,

you simply press down on this handle

and the whole thing stays put.

See?

Thank you, Neel. I love it.

And the best part?

It makes for a perfect

mongoose-size snack table.

I like where your head is at, Mikku.

Let's get our laddoos out of our suitcases

and start snacking.

Laddoos stay in the suitcase, please.

It's time to head to the train station.

All aboard!

ALL: Yeah!

(BELL DINGING)

Welcome to the Jalpur Express.

My team will get your suitcases

to your room on the train.

Thank you, uncle.

Mira, hold on a second.

The mobile lab has a squeaky wheel.

And a squeaky wheel

does not work for Neel.

Excuse me. May I borrow that can of oil?

By all means, Your Highness.

There. Squeakless.

-Good to go.

-Thanks, Neel.

Want to meet up later

for a game of Palangudi?

Sounds good to me.

All right, time to get on the train.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: All aboard!

(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

Whoo-hoo! Bouncy bed.

Whoo-hoo! Bouncy sofa.

-Whoops, not so bouncy Mira.

-(CHUCKLES)

-Hi, Papa.

-I'm back from the dining car.

Wait, there's a restaurant on the train?

Yes, the dining car is where

they serve food.

-Who wants some?

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Snacks!

Mmm-mmm.

I also brought a menu,

in case anyone wants to order more food.

Oh, we will definitely want

to order more food.

Alrighty, everyone.

I'll be reading in the passenger car

if you need me.

Thanks, Papa.

Who wants to play Palangudi?

-Me, me, me.

-CHIKKU: Me!

(GASPS) My mobile detective lab.

It isn't here!

But your suitcases are.

I'm ready for Palangudi.

-Mira isn't.

-Why not?

My Palangudi game

is in my mobile detective lab

and it didn't get delivered to my room.

That's strange. I got my suitcase.

Mikku and Chikku got theirs.

-Yours must be somewhere on the train.

-Let's go find it.

We're on the case.

(SINGING) We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Problem?

I don't have my magnifying glass

or my notebook.

They're in my mobile detective lab.

Mira can't solve this case without

her magnifying glass and notebook.

This is a disaster.

Panicking in three, two

NEEL: No need to panic, Mira.

When you don't have what you need,

just use what you've got.

What do you mean?

Well, all kinds of things can be useful,

even in an unusual way.

(SINGING) Here's what you do

Just put your mind to it

Look all around

Now what can you spot

Take what you find

And make something new, yeah

Here's what to do

Just use what you've got

(TRAIN CHUGGING)

A bottle of water

More than meets the eye

Check it out

It can magnify

You need a pen

How about this feather

Mix powder for ink

Clever!

You need your notebook

When you work on a case

But maybe you could write

In another place

That seating chart

Let's flip it around

This will work great

You're on the case now

Here's what you do

Just put your mind to it

Look all around

Now what can you spot

Take what you find

And make something new, yeah

Here's what to do

Just use what you got

Just use what you got

Just use what you got

This is great, Neel.

Now I have everything I need.

So, let's think.

The last time I saw

the mobile detective lab,

the head porter

was taking it onto the train.

(SNEEZES)

Let's start by asking the head porter

some questions.

So, uncle, you haven't seen it?

No, Mira.

I assure you my team

delivered all the suitcases to the rooms.

But feel free to look around

the baggage car just in case.

Perfect. Thank you.

(CAPTIVATING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

What's this brown spot on the floor?

I need to take a closer look

with my, uh

-Neel, can I use that bottle?

-Sure.

-That's what it's for.

-I want to see too.

Hey, Prince Neel's magnifying glass

actually works.

Actually?

Huh. This dark spot

looks like it could be oil.

Neel put some oil on the wheels

of my mobile detective lab, remember?

Ah, I remember that

like it was just this morning.

Chikku, it was just this morning.

MIRA: This oil looks like

it's in the shape of wheel tracks.

And they're the same size as the wheels

on your mobile detective lab.

Look, the wheel tracks keep going.

Maybe If we follow them,

we'll find the mobile detective lab.

Come on.

The tracks keep going this way.

Mira, we're going to find

your mobile detective lab.

I just know it.

(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

And the tracks lead to

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: A mop?

Excuse me, uncle.

You didn't happen to see

any wheel tracks here, did you?

I did. But I cleaned them up

along with some mango lassi,

that a passenger

spilled all over the floor.

Oh, no.

That means all the evidence

has been wiped away.

And the mango lassi

has been completely wasted.

What now, Mira?

Let's talk to the passengers.

Maybe someone saw my mobile detective lab.

Mira, we got this.

Attention, citizens of the train.

Friends, fellow travelers, bunkmates.

Has anyone seen Mira's

mobile detective lab?

It looks like this.

No, sorry.

No, I haven't seen it.

Sorry.

-No.

-Soggy samosas.

It's okay, Neel.

We just need a few minutes to think.

So, what's our next move?

Excuse me, Chikku.

It helps me think if I can pace.

There's no way I can get off

this train until I find it.

Pardon me, Mikku.

My magnifying glass

and notebook were in it.

Sorry, Neel. Excuse me.

The Queen gave it to me.

She trusted that I would

take care of them.

Where else could my mobile

detective lab be?

Mira, we saw the porter

bring it on to the train.

It has to be here somewhere.

I know you're right.

So what am I missing?

Maybe you should have a snack, Mira.

Yeah, snacks help me do my best thinking.

(GASPS)

What happened to all our snacks?

I ate them. Sorry.

-My stomach was growling.

-Growling?

Huh. It must have been roaring.

Good thing we still have

the menu that uncle gave us.

We can order more food.

Hey, this menu has

an oily wheel track on it,

just like the tracks we found before.

Why would there be

a wheel track on the menu?

I don't know,

but maybe my dad can tell us.

(CHUCKLES) Make like a tree and leaf,

this character says.

Papa, I have a question.

Yes, Mira.

You got this menu

from the dining car, right?

Yes. I noticed it on the floor

and brought it along

in case anyone wanted to order more food.

-Why is he looking at us?

-No idea.

So if Papa got the menu

from the dining car,

maybe my mobile detective lab is there.

That's the one place

we haven't checked yet.

-Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

-Good luck!

(EXCLAIMS) Look, more wheel tracks.

And they stop here.

Excuse me, by any chance,

have you seen a mobile detective lab

here in the dining car?

Hmm. That depends.

What is a mobile detective lab?

It's a new invention.

Some might say, a brilliant new invention,

that lets a detective have all she needs

to investigate while traveling.

It looks like this.

We don't have anything like that here.

All we have are tables, see?

Ah. A table for two.

This one will do just fine.

The perfect size.

Mongoose size.

A mongoose-sized table.

Let's think this through.

We found wheel tracks on the menu

and more tracks that ended

at a mongoose-sized table.

Earlier today,

when Mikku saw the mobile lab,

he said it would make a perfect

mongoose-sized snack table.

I did say that.

So, what if somebody thought

the mobile detective lab was a table

and covered it with a cloth?

Mira, you think your mobile

detective lab is under here?

Mikku, Chikku,

can you excuse me for a second?

BOTH: The mobile detective lab.

Wow, that was brilliant.

I'll say. The plates didn't even move.

I'm just happy my mobile detective lab

is safe and sound.

(TRAIN CHUGGING)

There's a tree down on the track.

Pull on the brakes!

(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)

ALL: Whoa!

(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)

(BRAKES SCREECH)

-MIRA: Look out!

-NEEL: It's getting away.

-MIRA: Oh, no!

-NEEL: Not again.

-MIKKU: No!

-CHIKKU: Not our snack table.

We have to stop it

before it goes into the river.

I just wish you had

your grapple grabber right now.

Wait, we don't need my grapple grabber.

It's just like you said, Neel.

When you don't have what you need,

just use what you've got.

Now you're talking.

Mikku, can I have your napkin?

Really? Snacks at a time like this, Mira?

MIRA: If I put this rock

inside this napkin and

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Yay!

-Mira, you locked the wheels!

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

-Yes.

-You saved our snack table.

Now that's what I call

using what you've got, Mira.

CHIKKU: The student becomes the master.

MIKKU: I love to see it.

My magnifying glass,

my notebook, my grapple grabber.

It's so good to see you again.

I'll take a hug too.

-Me too.

-Thanks, you guys.

And thank you, Neel.

I couldn't have done it

without all of you.

Dinner is served.

Oh, I want to try that trick

Mira did earlier with the tablecloth.

Oh, me too.

(PLATES CLATTERING)

I'll bring you some more food.

Maybe we need to rub our paws together

like Mira did.

We can try it on that table.

-Mikku, Chikku, wait!

-Hang on to your food!

-(PLATES CLATTERING)

-CHIKKU: Alrighty, who's next, people?

-CHIKKU: Ta-da!

-(PLATES CLATTERING)

MIKKU: I told you we could do it.

Super easy.

(PLATES CLATTERING)

MIRA: The Case of the Broken Hand Pump

SHIVANI: This riverfront is

my favorite place in Naiyapuram.

It's beautiful, Princess Shivani.

I'm so happy that you

and your attendant, Jaya,

could show us around your kingdom.

Thank you.

-Of course, Mira.

-Isn't it incredible?

I love this kingdom.

I have to take some of these flowers

back to Jalpur.

They'll make the best presents.

It smells so pretty.

I'm taking some too.

Tiny bananas!

We have to take some of those back too.

CHIKKU: Okay.

Those are the best bananas

in all of Naiyapuram.

MIKKU: Thanks, Jaya.

More presents for my friends.

CHIKKU: And my friends.

All of your friends will love this.

An original, one of a kind,

Naiyapuram rock.

-Yay!

-Yes!

Princess Shivani, if they keep this up,

we may need to borrow an extra suitcase.

(LAUGHS) No problem.

Come on, there's more this way.

This is a new granary we're building

to store all of our food.

-Did she say food?

-Food?

Mira, can we get a granary

in our apartment?

Guys, granaries are for farmers

to store grain from their farms.

Hi, there! Who is this cutie?

This is Swami, my otter friend.

-(SWAMI CHIRPS)

-Hello, Swami. I'm Mikku.

And I'm Chikku.

We're mongooses.

(SWAMI CHIRPS)

We live in Jalpur,

but we're just visiting.

-Where do you live?

-(SWAMI SQUEAKING)

Uh, yeah. Didn't quite get that, buddy.

The otters live over there.

Come on, I'll show you.

See their home?

It's where those sticks are.

Right behind the granary.

-MIKKU: Oh, yeah.

-CHIKKU: More otter friends.

-Whoo-hoo!

-(SQUEAKING)

Hello, there.

Aren't they just the best otters

you have ever seen?

BOTH: Yes, they are.

Oh, you want to play catch

with this pebble? Sure!

Coming at you, Swami.

(SQUEAKING)

(SWAMI CHIRPING)

Oh, Swami. So funny.

Love that guy.

Wow! You speak otter?

Uh

-(CHUCKLES) Just go with it.

-Yes. We do speak otter.

Okay. Now is everyone ready for the last

stop of your tour of Naiyapuram?

-Yes.

-Great! Follow me.

Hi, Mohan.

Namaste, Princess Shivani.

This is Mira.

She's the Royal Detective of Jalpur.

I'm showing her the new hand pump.

-A hand pump?

-I'm listening.

We just had a brand new

hand pump installed,

so people can have

fresh water from the river.

Oh, I can't wait to see it.

Oh, you're going to love it.

The water in Naiyapuram is first class.

It's just the best.

Come on, everyone.

What's going on?

Is everything okay?

Hello, Princess Shivani. I'm afraid not.

The hand pump isn't working

and everyone is waiting

to get their water.

-Oh, no. What happened?

-I'm not sure.

Water is supposed to come all the way

from the river to the pump

through this pipe.

There might be a block somewhere.

So something is stopping

the water from flowing?

Yes, I think so.

Mira is Jalpur's Royal Detective.

She's here visiting.

Maybe she could help find it.

Of course. 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

Princess Shivani,

will you join me on the case?

You want me on the case?

Yes. You saw the pipe being installed,

so you'll notice if there's

something strange about it.

-That's true, Princess Shivani.

-My first case.

This is so exciting. I'd love to help.

Uncle, while you check to see

if the pipe is blocked on this end,

why don't we go check the other end?

That would be very helpful, Mira.

Thank you.

Princess Shivani, Can you show me

where the other end of the pipe is?

Yes, it's this way. Follow me.

-Uh, oh!

-Stuck in the mud, huh?

Now, that's a familiar feeling.

Oh, let me help you, Princess.

I think you'll need to switch

from Princess shoes to on-the-case shoes.

Here, try these.

I think we're about the same size.

You'll have a much easier time

walking through mud.

Thanks, Mira.

Looks like you have everything

you need in that suitcase.

Princess. Shivani,

this is no ordinary suitcase.

It's my mobile detective lab.

What's a mobile detective lab?

It's for carrying

all my detective gear when I'm traveling.

And it's great for storing

all of our presents when we're on the go.

I've never seen

a mobile detective lab before,

but this one is amazing.

These shoes are great, Mira.

Thank you.

Of course. And here's some for you, Jaya.

(EXCLAIMS) These are the best

on-the-case shoes ever.

(CHUCKLES) I'm glad you like them.

(GRUNTS)

Mikku, you really should

watch where you're going.

-(GRUNTS) Excuse me.

-Whoops.

There are a lot of these

sticks around here.

I wonder where they came from.

It looks like there's a trail of them

next to the pipe.

They might be a clue.

Yay! We found a clue.

Where does the pipe end?

Further down this way. I'll show you.

There are so many more sticks here.

That's strange.

And look, check this out.

The sticks are blocking the water

from entering the pipe.

I wonder if that's why water isn't flowing

out of the pump.

We have to remove the sticks from there.

BOTH: Princess Shivani, we got this.

-Time for some mongoose

-Muscle.

Let's put the sticks in a pile over here,

away from the pipe.

BOTH: Got it.

We'll help too.

-Heads up, Mikku. Sticks coming your way.

-I'm open.

I'm open!

MIRA (GASPS): Duck!

Guys, how about we do this

a different way?

Pass the sticks, people.

Keep them coming, Chikku,

keep them coming.

(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS) Wow, good job, guys.

The water's flowing into the pipe.

Yay! We solved the case.

Let's go see if the hand pump is working.

Follow me, Your Highness.

-Woo-hoo!

-Hand pump time!

Uncle, we found some sticks

blocking the pipe,

but we cleared them all up.

It should be working now.

Excellent news. Thank you, Your Highness.

Let's try it out.

-(PUMP SQUEAKING)

-(WATER GURGLING)

(ALL CHEERING)

(ALL GROANING)

That's strange.

Some water definitely came through,

but it seems to be blocked again.

I guess we haven't solved

the case then, huh?

Not yet, Princess Shivani.

What now?

Back to the river.

Maybe it's blocked somewhere else.

Why do I feel like

this has happened before?

Because it has.

Not again.

JAYA: I got you.

MIRA: Huh. There are more sticks here.

-But we just cleared them all up.

-And put them in a pile.

The best pile of sticks you've ever seen.

The pile was right over there.

Where did our pile of sticks go?

Someone moved them back

and blocked the pipe again.

With an even bigger pile of sticks.

Somebody is messing with us.

-Who would do that, Mira?

-I'm not sure.

Let's take a closer look.

Hey, blue pebble.

Mikku, catch!

Chikku, I'd love to play catch with you,

but we really need to solve this case

for Princess Shivani first.

Mikku, I think this pebble

might just help us solve the case.

Wait, seriously?

See? I was helping to solve the case.

(CHUCKLES)

How does a pebble help us

solve the case, Mira?

We've seen this blue pebble before.

Let's think this through.

When we first met Swami,

he was holding a blue pebble.

He was playing with that pebble

by the otters' home,

which they made out of sticks.

What if Swami and his friends

were the ones

who put the sticks in front of the pipe?

You think the otters blocked the pipe?

Our buddy, Swami?

Just when you think you know an otter.

We need to find out for sure.

Let's go track down Swami.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

There he is!

Okay, buddy.

We're here on official mongoose business.

Yeah, we need to ask you some questions.

(SQUEAKING)

These look like the same kind of sticks

we found blocking the pipe.

And they're the same sticks the otters use

to build their home.

It looks like they're moving their home.

But why?

-Whoops.

-(OTTERS SQUEAKING)

Yikes.

I think the new building is too close

to where they live.

Swami, did you have to move

because of the granary?

(SWAMI CHITTERING)

Yes. That's the reason.

Oh, no, that's awful. Those poor otters.

We have to help them.

I have an idea.

You hear that, buddy?

She has an idea.

Pass these sticks, people.

Keep it coming, Chikku, keep it coming.

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING)

Nice one.

Once we finish building the otters

a new home over here,

they'll be away from the buildings

and the pipe.

That Mira is such a genius.

And that's the last stick.

-(SWAMI SQUEAKING)

-You said it, buddy.

Enjoy your new home.

Mira, let me handle this.

(MIMICKING SWAMI)

I am so happy we could help the otters.

They are just the best otters

in the world.

(SWAMI CHITTERING)

A present for us? You shouldn't have.

This means so much to us, Swami.

Come here.

Hey, wait for us.

(SWAMI SQUEAKING)

I think he wants us

to check out his new home.

-BOTH: Cannonball!

-(WATER SPLASHING)

CHIKKU: Ooh, nice place!

Is that your living room?

MIKKU: It's his bedroom, Chikku.

CHIKKU: Who was I supposed to know?

All I see are sticks.

MIKKU: Swami, what you need

is a fluffy pillow.

(ALL GIGGLING)

The case of the broken

hand pump is closed.

A great job by an amazing team.

The best team in Naiyapuram.

ALL: Aww!

This is the most delicious water

I've ever tasted.

Told you, Mira.

Mira, thank you so much for helping us.

I couldn't have done it

without Princess Shivani.

My first case was definitely my best case.

This case sure made me thirsty.

Good thing the hand pump's fixed.

(MIKKU YELLS)

I'm coming for you, Mikku.

(YELLING) On my way!
