rickshaw service

will have you to the park in no time.

-Thanks, cuz.

-Thanks, other cuz.

Neeti and Preeti,

I'm so happy

you get to celebrate

your very first Teej with us.

Thanks, Mira.

We're excited to be here, too.

PREETI: Yeah, we don't have

Teej celebrations in our city.

It's a wonderful way

to celebrate the rainy season.

I love how the rain

makes everything grow.

You're lucky,

Teej has the best sweets.

-Ooh.

-Ooh.

MIKKU: The festival

is celebrated

by girls and women,

so we won't be there.

But that's okay.

We have a big day planned

with our good buddy Raj the chicken.

Cousins, we got this.

We'll save you some sweets.

-Thanks, cuz. Bye.

-Thanks, cuz. Have a great time.

MIKKU: Hey, Raj, we're coming.

-(CLUCKING)

-CHIKKU: Wait up, buddy.

We've got big plans for today.

-Ooh.

-Ooh.

The park looks so beautiful.

Wow, wow, wow.

I can't believe we're here.

Really great, huh, sis?

They're just setting up.

I can't wait till later when we can

all celebrate Teej together.

Let's welcome the season

That brings on the rain

With puddles and peacocks

And bangles and games

Mehndi so beautiful

What will you choose?

The pattern's all different

Let's make one for you.

We're dressing up

Teej sounds amazing.

We can't wait.

Mira, over here!

There's Priya. Let's go say hi.

-Priya!

-Priya!

Priya, your mehndi is so beautiful.

I love the star pattern.

-Thanks, Mira.

-Thank you, dear.

Is my mehndi beautiful?

Very beautiful, Dimple.

Gooses!

Dimple, don't hug them yet.

You'll mess up your mehndi.

(SIGHS) Okay.

-But we can hug you.

-Yes!

ALL: Aww.

(SNIFFLES) Can I scratch my nose?

It itches.

-No!

-Too late.

Oh, my mehndi is all messed up!

Come here, Dimple. I'll redo it.

You need to give it time to dry.

If it's wet, it will smudge

and leave a print of the pattern

on whatever you touch.

Okay, Auntie.

Neeti, Preeti, those are the ghevar sweets

I told you about.

We'll have some

once the celebration starts.

They look good.

And smell good, too.

I think we need a closer look.

-We'll be back.

-MIRA: Okay.

Off you go, Dimple.

Mira, you're next.

Thanks, Auntie.

Mira, my mummy asked me to help organize

the Teej celebration with her this year.

Everything looks so great.

PUSHPA: Doesn't it?

-Priya is doing a fabulous job.

-Thanks, Mummy.

I set out the sweets and the fruit.

And I'm going to run back to the boutique

to get all the other stuff.

And you did such a wonderful job

with that stunning swing.

-(GOAT BLEATING)

-(GASPS)

Oh, my! Stop that goat!

(WOMEN GASPING)

(GOAT BLEATING)

Not the beautiful marigold garlands!

Pari, come back!

Sorry, Auntie!

Pari is just really excited today.

-(PARI BLEATING)

-Pari, come back!

Oh, no! What are we going to do now?

Oh, don't worry, Pushpa dear.

I have an extra basket

of marigold flowers you can use.

-Don't worry, Mummy.

-We'll help make new garlands.

Wonderful. Thank you, girls.

Get them made quickly, please.

I have to get the instruments.

So much to do. So much to do!

I'm going to go get bangles

from the boutique.

-Okay, Priya.

-BOTH: We're back!

These ghevar sweets are delish.

We snuck a few bites.

Okay, four bites.

(LAUGHS) I'll have some

when the celebration starts.

Wanna help me make

more flower garlands for the swings?

-BOTH: Yes, yes!

-Great.

As soon as my mehndi dries,

we can get started.

Mira, where are the flowers?

They're right over

(GASPS) What happened to them?

They were right there.

That's not good.

Does this mean we won't be able

to celebrate our first Teej?

We will, Preeti. Don't worry.

We'll find the flowers.

And I'm going to need your help, too,

Neeti and Preeti.

We get to be on the case?

Just like Mikku and Chikku?

That's right. We are 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 ♪

Let's look for clues

where we last saw the flowers.

We'll look for clues.

Clues, clues, clues.

Uh, um, I don't wanna smudge this.

Neeti, Preeti, I need your help.

I can't use my hands to search for clues

or I'll smudge my mehndi.

-Mira, we got this.

-We got this.

That's perfect. Thanks.

What do you see, Mira?

There's a petal

from the marigold flowers here

and it looks like

there's something on the petal.

It's a smudge of wet mehndi.

Yup, it's definitely mehndi.

You're right, Neeti.

And there's a bit of a pattern

on the petal, too.

Why would someone put mehndi

on a flower?

Because it's pretty.

(CHUCKLES) It is pretty, Neeti,

but I think someone touched

the basket of marigolds

with their wet mehndi and it rubbed off.

Mira, you are smart.

So smart.

The petal is a clue.

Well, then we'll put it in your notebook.

Thanks, Preeti.

There.

Maybe someone with wet mehndi

on her hands took the basket of flowers.

Oh, then we just need to find

someone who has wet mehndi on her hands.

Oh, no, Mira. So many people

in the park have wet mehndi.

You're right, Neeti.

We better go talk to Auntie.

Auntie, we found a flower petal

with a part of a mehndi pattern on it.

Do you know who has mehndi

that looks like this?

Oh, Mira, I gave everyone

a different pattern,

so I'm not sure who has that one.

Hmm. Okay. Thanks, Auntie.

Is my mehndi dry? Is my mehndi dry?

Not yet, Dimple.

Hold your hands out like this.

Oh, my nose itches again.

Preeti reporting for nose scratching duty.

(SIGHS) Thanks, Preeti.

We need to find that basket soon.

Let's look around the park for more clues.

Preeti, could you hold up

the magnifying glass for me?

Got you covered, Mira.

MIRA: Hmm, it looks like

there's another flower petal over there

where those girls are spinning.

Let's go take a closer look.

-Okay.

-Okay.

(ALL LAUGHING AND CHATTERING)

MIRA: Over there.

Look!

How do we get to it?

We spin, spin, spin.

Great idea, Neeti. Let's spin.

Got it!

I need to take a closer look.

Magnifying glass right here.

Thanks, Preeti.

MIRA: Huh, it's got part

of a mehndi pattern on it, too.

-Let's put it in my notebook.

-Okay, Mira.

It looks like whoever took the flowers

walked by here and dropped this petal.

But who?

Maybe Meena saw something.

Let's go ask her.

Here you go. Now turn to the side.

Like this?

Pinky, that style

really brings out your cheekbones.

Now, you just need some bangles.

Hi, Pinky. Hi, Meena.

Can we talk to you for a second?

Uh, Mira,

I'm a little busy styling Pinky right now.

Try these.

My arms look so cute.

Meena, can you help us?

We're on a case.

We're looking for

a basket of flowers.

I didn't see any flowers,

but I have the perfect bangles

to match your outfits,

Neeti and Preeti.

I love it.

Sweet. Thanks.

Meena, there's something else

in that box.

Eek! What is it? Get it off!

NEETI: I'll catch it.

Great job, Neeti.

Oh, it's just a flower petal.

It looks like this petal

has a wet mehndi pattern on it too.

Mm. Meena, where did you get this box?

I don't know, Mira.

It was here when I showed up.

I'm a stylist,

not the bangle box delivery person.

Mira, we're ready to start.

Why isn't the swing

decorated with flowers yet?

Don't worry.

We'll take care of it Auntie Pushpa.

Please do. Oh, no!

The instruments shouldn't be there.

Ugh! You're standing in the wrong place.

We really need to find those flowers.

Mira, is my mehndi dry yet?

My nose itches again.

Wait a second.

Dimple's mehndi is a pattern.

If we put together these petals,

maybe we can figure out

what pattern they make.

I'll do it.

It looks like a star.

I love stars.

So pretty!

I've seen that pattern before.

But where?

Let's think this through.

I know! It's the same pattern

as the one on Priya's hand.

(GASPS) Priya took

the marigolds for the swing?

We need to talk to her.

Chalo, chalo, let's go!

Ugh! This is not working.

Priya, need some help?

Mira. I'm so glad you're here.

Priya, I was wondering

Did you take the flowers from the swing?

Yes. Mommy asked me

to help with the Teej celebration

and I didn't want to let her down.

We needed more garlands,

so I started making them myself

but it's taking so long.

Priya, you don't

have to do everything yourself.

We're here to help you.

BOTH: Yeah!

(SIGHS) You're right.

Will you let us help you now?

That would be great.

The case of the missing marigolds

Is closed, closed, closed!

I've always wanted to say that.

Hey, it looks like

the mehndi on our hands are dry, too.

Just in time.

Yay! I can finally scratch my own nose!

Now, let's make those garlands.

I'll help.

-Me, too.

-Me, three.

Wheeeee!

It's so beautiful.

-(BLEATING)

-(GASPS)

Pari, step away from the swing.

Good goat.

Great job, everyone.

Priya! Everything looks wonderful.

I am so proud of you, beti.

Thanks, Mummy. I had a lot of help.

Now, let the celebration begin!

(CHEERING)

Yay!

(EXCITED SHOUTS)

NEETI AND PREETI:

Happy Teej!

DIMPLE: Wheeeee!

(LAUGHTER)

MIRA: Mystery at the

Rangoli Competition.

Papa, I love this time of year.

Spring is my favorite season.

Me too, beti.

And I can't think of

a better way to celebrate

than everyone making

beautiful Rangolis.

It's amazing how unique

each Rangoli is.

This one is

made out of sand.

That one is

made out of beads.

Uncle, is this where we put our votes

for the Rangoli competition?

Yes. Vote for your favorite one

right here in this box.

-Here's my vote.

-Thank you, Sadia.

Papa, let's check out

Priya's Rangoli.

Hi, Mira!

Hi, Uncle Sahil.

Just a few more flowers

and I'm done.

What do you think?

Wow, your Rangoli is

Fabulous, exquisite, stunning.

I couldn't agree more,

Auntie Pushpa.

Well done!

Priya, I think you have

an excellent chance

of winning the box of sweets

for the Rangoli competition.

Did someone say winning?

Did someone say sweets?

If so, you must be talking

about our Rangoli.

Oh, Sahil, let me vote

for my little winner.

Of course, Pushpa!

Mrs. Kapadia, you have to

come see Priya's Rangoli.

Good luck, everyone.

Bye, Papa.

Get your votes in

before sunset.

Vote for your

favorite Rangoli!

Hi, Mira. Hi, Priya.

Wow! Nice Rangoli.

-Thanks Dhruv.

-Hi, Dhruv.

Are you making a Rangoli

for the competition?

No, I've been busy with this.

BOTH: A new goat!

It's not a real goat.

It's made out of wood

and a few other things.

Say hello to my

original creation,

the grazing goat.

Wow! How does it work?

First, I wind this key,

then the goat zooms around

and sweeps dirt.

Check it out.

It sweeps up with the power

of a hundred brooms.

See? All that dirt

is in here now.

-Wow, Dhruv!

-So great!

Best of all, it will take care of

the spring cleaning chores

my mom asked me to do,

while I do more

important things like

Feed your real goat?

Help your mom

at the flower stand?

-Make laddus?

-Eat laddus?

No, like swing

in my hammock all day.

(CHUCKLING)

Speaking of,

my hammock awaits. Bye!

ALL: Bye, Dhruv.

Okay, Mikku, Chikku,

let's go check out your Rangoli.

BOTH: Rangoli time!

Bye, Priya. See you later.

Bye!

Chikku, what did you do?

What did I do?

What did you do?

What's going on?

Somebody let Raj, the chicken,

eat the seeds from our Rangoli.

Yeah, and you know

exactly who it was.

-BOTH: Him!

-(CLUCKING)

Let me see if I can help.

Raj, these seeds are for

Mikki and Chikku's Rangoli.

How about you snack

on these coconut slices instead?

(CLUCKING)

Your Rangoli is so cute, guys.

BOTH: Thanks, Mira.

I can't stay mad at you, Chikku.

You're the best mongoose I know.

You're right.

I am the best mongoose you know.

BOTH: Aww!

Chikku, that box of

prize-winning sweets

has our names all over it.

-Mira! Mira! I need your help.

-What is it, Priya?

Follow me. I'll show you.

-Oh, no!

-Who would do this?

Wasn't me.

Priya, what happened?

I went inside the boutique,

and when I came back out,

my Rangoli was ruined.

When am I going to do?

Don't worry. We'll figure out

what happened to your Rangoli.

We're on the case.

We're on the case

Let's take a look around

(GASPS) Is that what I think it is?

Mango.

Let me take a look.

Those aren't

mango pieces.

They're flower petals.

That was my second guess.

Those are from the flowers

I used in my Rangoli.

What are the petals doing here?

I'm not sure.

Let's keep looking.

There are more

flower petals over here.

It looks like a trail.

Let's follow it.

Look. There's something there.

Priya, do you recognize

this feather?

No, I've never seen it before.

Hmm, maybe it's a clue.

-Oh, no!

-This is not good.

Ahhh!

Our Rangoli!

You messed it up.

No, you messed it up.

-It was you.

-No, it was you.

Guys, guys.

It wasn't either one of you.

You've both been helping me

this whole time, remember?

-Oh, yeah.

-Right.

-Buddies?

-Best buddies.

MIRA: Well, this is interesting.

Mira, what is it?

Another feather.

Huh, The feather we found

near Priya's Rangoli is black,

but this one is brown.

Brown feather, huh?

You know who has brown feathers?

Raj, the chicken.

If you can't trust Raj,

who can you trust?

Mikku, Chikku, hold on.

We shouldn't accuse anyone

before we know the full story.

Let's go talk to Raj.

(CLUCKING)

Raj. Hold it right there.

We've got some

questions for you.

Did you or did you not

ruin Priya's Rangoli?

-And our Rangoli?

-(SQUAWK)

Guys, let's not jump

to conclusions. Remember?

Raj's feathers

are a different shade of brown

than the one we found.

So then it can't be Raj.

We never doubted you, buddy.

I told them it wasn't you.

(ANGRY SQUAWKING)

Raj, do you know what happened

to their Rangolis?

(SQUAWK)

PINKY: My Rangoli! It's ruined!

Oh, no, that's Pinky.

Come on.

-What is happening?

-Who could be doing this?

-Why?

-Pinky, what's going on?

Pari and I worked really hard

on our Rangoli.

Pari posed and I placed

each one of the pink beads

in a beautiful design.

And now look at it.

(BLEATS SADLY)

It's not that bad.

It was supposed

to look like this.

Oh, it is that bad.

Worse, actually.

Mira, that's the third

ruined Rangoli.

Why is this happening?

I don't know, Priya.

It is strange.

But don't worry, Pinky.

We're going to figure this out.

Don't forget to vote.

Vote for your favorite Rangoli

before it's too late.

It's already too late.

What's going on here?

Papa, we're on the case

to figure out

what happened

to everyone's Rangolis.

-Someone messed up my Rangoli.

-Mine too!

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: And ours.

Oh, that's terrible.

-(BELLS CHIMING)

-We're running out of time.

If the Rangolis keep getting ruined,

we may have to cancel

the competition.

-This is ridiculous.

-No!

Disaster.

Papa, please don't cancel

the competition.

We're going to solve this case fast.

Everyone, see what you can find.

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: On it!

-PINKY: Okay.

Hey, Pinky, I found

one of your beads over there.

A really big one.

Uh, that's not mine.

And it's not a bead.

Let me take a look.

Pari, may I see your hoof please?

(BLEATS)

MIRA: It actually looks like a goat's hoof

with a wheel attached.

And look, it's got feathers on it.

Just like the ones we found.

Wait, I've seen this before.

Let's think this through.

MIRA: First we found two feathers.

Then we found

this wooden hoof.

And they're all part of

Dhruv's grazing goat invention.

PRIYA: Uh, what's that got to do

with our ruined Rangolis?

MIRA: Dhruv said his grazing goat

sweeps up dirt

with the power

of a hundred brooms.

So what if it went around town

sweeping up the Rangolis?

It would have ruined them.

-MIKKU: Really?

-CHIKKU: What?

His invention actually works?

A real goat would never do this.

-Let's go talk to Dhruv.

-(BLEATS)

-Dhruv?

-Wake up!

Whoa!

Is this a dream?

-No.

-Absolutely not.

How are the Rangolis

coming along?

-Not well, Dhruv.

-They're all ruined.

Oh, no. What happened?

That's what

we're trying to figure out.

We found these feathers

and this wooden hoof

by the ruined Rangolis.

Are these parts of your grazing

goat invention?

Yes, but I don't know how

they could have been near the Rangolis.

The grazing goat is inside.

I'll show you.

Dhruv, your door is open.

DHRUV: Huh?

Uh-oh. I don't see

the grazing goat anywhere.

It must have gotten out.

What do we do now, Mira?

We need to find the grazing goat

before it ruins more Rangolis.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

-(BLEATING)

-Look, there it is.

BOTH: Mira, we got this!

Here we come, grazing goat.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(BLEATING)

Hey, get back here!

-That's a real goat, Chikku.

-Oops.

(RACY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYS)

This is mine.

If you want your own,

you'll have to buy one at the boutique.

(EXCLAIMS)

Why, I have never met

such a rude goat!

(EXCLAIMING)

Stop the goat!

That's one strong goat.

Look, that Rangoli is still okay.

We'll keep it safe.

BOTH: Rangoli security guards'

at your service.

Oh no, not on my watch.

(GRUNTING)

Chikku, hang on.

Mira, help!

I got this. Hang on.

Got ya!

Is Jalpur spinning

or am I spinning?

Let's see what's inside.

-Our seeds!

-My beads!

My flowers.

Mira, you were right.

Dhruv's grazing goat

swept up everyone's Rangolis.

Giving a bad name

to goats everywhere.

(BLEATS)

I'm sorry, everyone.

I should have kept a closer eye

on my invention.

It's okay, Dhruv.

We know you didn't mean

for everyone's Rangolis to get ruined.

Soon it is going to be too dark

for everyone to remake their Rangolis.

Not to mention,

all the votes are inside the goat.

I'm afraid we'll have to cancel

the competition.

The world will never know our talent.

What a sad day!

We don't need a competition.

Why don't we all work together

and make one amazing Rangoli instead?

What will we use

for the materials?

I have some beads I can donate.

BOTH: We'll bring the seeds.

I can ask my mom to give us some flowers

from the flower stand.

Great. Then let's get started.

Rangoli time, people!

And there's the last bead.

(CROWD EXCLAIMS)

Great work, everyone.

I love it.

Look, there's the clock tower.

MIRA: And there's the archway.

-It's beautiful.

-Our best work ever.

Wow. Fabulous.

-We did it, Pari.

-(BLEATS)

Great job.

Sweets for everyone.

-(ALL CHEERING)

-I want sweets.

It's all you, Pari.

-BOTH: Last one.

-You should take it.

No, you should.

Mikku, Chikku, there's more.

Talk about a masterpiece.

Some might say genius.
