MIRA: "The Rakhi Mystery."

MIRA: Priya, those rakhis

you made are so beautiful.

PRIYA: So is yours, Mira.

Oh, does it have crystals on it?

It sure does. I really want it to sparkle.

Look no further, people.

I have found the perfect headband.

You mean anklet, Chikku.

Actually, they're rakhis, guys.

A sister ties a rakhi

around her brother's wrist

to celebrate their special bond.

-But we don't have a sister.

-Holiday's over. Let's go home.

You don't need to have

a sister to celebrate Rakhi.

All you need is a good friend,

someone you're close to

who feels like a sibling.

Here, I'll show you.

-ALL: Whoa!

-Happy Rakhi!

-ALL: Happy Rakhi, Prince Neel.

-(CHOTU LAUGHING)

Thanks so much for inviting us

to celebrate with your family.

Of course. We should be starting

as soon as my uncle gets here.

Look at the great hall.

Priya, don't let Chotu touch anything.

Don't worry, Meena. I'm watching him.

You can put your rakhis on that tray.

Okay, Neel. Here they are.

(CHOTU COOING)

Chotu. Chotu, come here.

MIKKU: Baby on the loose.

CHIKKU: Runaway baby!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

PRIYA: Prince Veer, look out!

-Huh?

-Stop, stop, stop!

Aah!

(GASPS) Sorry, Prince Veer.

It's okay, I'm fine.

-Oh, my.

-What do we have here?

They're treats for the celebration.

My mother, the Queen,

put me in charge

of giving out Rakhi gifts.

Sweets for the whole kingdom.

-They're beautiful.

-Oh, yeah.

Naturally, and they taste even better.

-You should try them.

-Go ahead.

ALL: Thank you, Prince Veer.

-So good.

-Delicious.

I'll take seconds.

There will be a lot more sweets

at the celebration.

Check out the rakhis I got so far.

Veer, you have to see all

the rakhis the girls made.

-They're really

-Sorry, I don't have time for rakhis.

What? There's always time for rakhis.

Nope. No time at all.

I must return to my

very important royal duties.

If you'll excuse me,

I need to go upstairs.

(FANFARE PLAYING)

Do I hear trumpets?

I love trumpets.

My uncle must be here. Come on.

I haven't seen my uncle in so long.

He's visiting for today's celebration.

Now, that is a chariot.

-I'll say.

-You're telling me.

My uncle is getting

a special rakhi from my mom.

It's made of real gold.

-ALL: Ooh!

-Shiny.

Mira, can I get a quick look

at the rakhi you made me

before the celebration?

How can you say no to that face?

I can't. Come on, Neel. It's inside.

(CHOTU GRUNTING)

There he goes again.

Chotu, where are you going?

(GASPS) What happened to our rakhis?

-They're gone.

-ALL: What?

Our first time invited

to spend the holiday with the Queen

and this happens? Not good, Mira.

Don't worry. We'll find the rakhis

before the celebration begins.

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

Ask all the questions

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

That's what detectives do ♪

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Hmm. There are crumbs on the table

going down to the floor.

How will crumbs help us find the rakhis?

Because it looks like

there's a trail of them.

-Right, Chotu?

-(CHOTU COOING)

-It's going this way.

-You know what that tells us?

The rakhi thief was hungry.

Huh. The crumbs lead to these stairs.

But did the thief go upstairs

or downstairs?

BOTH: We'll check upstairs.

And I'll look downstairs.

No rakhis up here, Mira.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

-Chikku, what's that on your foot?

-Huh?

A rakhi and more crumbs.

The rakhi must've gotten caught on my paw.

Hey, maybe Chotu took the rakhis

and dropped one there.

Chotu, did you take the rakhis?

-Did you?

-(COOING)

You cannot get a straight answer

out of this kid.

Meena, if Chotu took the rakhis,

I would've seen it and stopped him.

Very strange.

NEEL: Hey, Mira,

you're going to want to see this.

We're coming.

-More crumbs.

-MIRA: Hmm.

And another rakhi.

I think we're getting closer.

Hear that, Chikku? We're about to find

whoever took those rakhis.

Watch out, sneaky rakhi thief.

-Here we come.

-BOTH: Whoa!

Please take all the sweets

to the town square for distribution.

We'll begin the Rakhi celebration shortly.

Yes, Your Highness.

Mira, the celebration is starting soon.

What are we going to do?

Wait a minute, let's think this through.

We found crumbs and rakhis on

the upper stairs and on the lower stairs.

What if someone who had

a platter with crumbs on it

took the rakhis

and put them on the platter?

Then went downstairs to the kitchen,

dropping crumbs and rakhis along the way.

There's only one person who had a tray

with crumbs on it who also passed

every spot we found a rakhi.

-Prince Veer.

-(ALL GASPING)

ALL: Prince Veer?

You think my brother took the rakhis?

Great. Now, we're never going to be

invited back to the palace.

I don't know for sure. Let me talk to him.

Excellent. Thank you.

Prince Veer, I was wondering,

do you know where our rakhis are?

Me? How would I know?

Well

Okay, fine. I took them. I confess.

-Why did you do it?

-I didn't think I was gonna get any.

Let's face it, Mira.

Who's gonna feel comfortable giving

a rakhi to the future king of Jalpur?

(SIGHS) I'm so sorry. I know it was wrong.

Mira, the celebration is starting soon.

Have you found the rakhis yet?

Don't worry, Neel, it's okay.

The rakhis are right here.

-I don't see it.

-Nope. Nothing here.

Oh, no. Mira, I left the platter

with the rakhis on this shelf

and now it's gone.

You're kidding. The rakhis are gone again?

No, they can't be.

Ram Singh Ji, I need to speak with you.

I'm looking for a platter full of rakhis.

Have you seen it?

Your Highness, as you requested,

the servers took all the platters

to the town square.

BOTH: Town square?

Not to worry. I got us into this mess,

I'll get us out of it.

Veer, I'm not sure you can

get to the town square

and back before the Rakhi

celebration starts.

I can if you stall.

I'm on it, big brother.

-Veer, I'll come with you.

-Thank you, Mira.

Neel, may we borrow your fly-cycle?

Sure, but, uh,

are you sure you know how to fly it?

I'm Prince Veer, future king of Jalpur.

Of course I can fly your little invention.

Whoa!

MIRA: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Keep pedaling.

-VEER: Whoa!

Whoa! This is harder than it looks!

Just keep a steady hand, Veer.

-You are

-BOTH: Whoa!

You got this. You totally got this.

Okay. Get ready to land.

-(CRASHING)

-(CROWD EXCLAIMS)

Perfect landing.

Where's the platter? Where's the platter?

Oh, no.

Mira, the food platters

have already been given out

with the rakhis on them.

What do we do?

Well, I have one idea.

Anything.

You could tell the people of Jalpur

what happened and ask for help.

Any other ideas?

Give them a chance, Veer.

I think you'll find that people

are much more understanding

than you think.

Okay, Mira, here I go.

Good people of Jalpur,

Happy Rakhi to all of you.

ALL: Happy Raksha Bandhan, Your Highness.

I hope you all are enjoying the sweets

that the Queen put me in charge of.

-Delicious!

-So good!

(CHUCKLING) So, the funniest

thing happened this morning, and I, uh

I did something that I shouldn't have.

My friends, who are like sisters to me,

came to the palace with rakhis.

I didn't think I was gonna get any.

So, I hid them.

(ALL GASPING)

-Really?

-Are you serious?

Prince Veer hid the rakhis?

Yes, I did, Dimple.

Rakhi is about brothers and sisters

looking out for each other.

And what I did goes against

everything that Rakhi stands for.

(WHISPERING)

Psst. Tell them where you hid the rakhis.

So, I hid the rakhis

on one of those food platters.

Do any of you see

a platter with rakhis on it?

Nope. I don't see it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Prince Veer, it's right here.

(ALL CHEERING)

-Thank you, Kamala.

-Thank you so much.

Prince Veer, can I give you a rakhi now?

Oh, of course.

This is the most beautiful

rakhi I've ever seen.

Thank you, Dimple.

I will wear this with pride.

Prince Veer, we didn't know

we could give rakhis to you.

I mean, you're a prince.

You can if you want to.

Great. Then, this is for you.

Kamala, thank you so much.

MIRA: Veer, look up.

All those rakhis are for me?

Thank you. I promise to be there

for each and every one of you.

Mira, I have

a new favorite holiday. Rakhi!

I'm so glad, Prince Veer.

Oh, look, the Queen

is starting the ceremony.

Neel, here's the rakhi I made for you.

Thank you, Mira. I love it.

Veer, I hope you have room for one more.

Thank you, Mira, for everything,

especially being there for me.

Always, Prince Veer.

-ALL: Rakhi check.

-Ooh!

Happy Rakhi!

(CHOTU COOS)

MIRA: "Mystery Below the Palace."

MIRA: Hi, Neel.

NEEL: Hey, Mira.

We can't wait to see your new invention.

We are prepared to be wowed.

Where exactly is it?

Right in the palm of my hand.

Uh, Mikku, do you think

he's aware it's an umbrella?

I'll bet it's more than just an umbrella.

That's right. Push this button.

BOTH: Whoa!

That's so great!

-There's the wow, people.

-Ooh.

-I call it the mini fly-cycle.

-Mini fly-cycle?

Ooh, you have our attention.

Do you happen to know any mongooses

who might like to give it a test flight?

-I'm interested.

-I'll steer.

BOTH: Whee!

(BOTH CHEERING)

BOTH: Whoa!

Oh, yeah, check us out.

BOTH: Whoa! Whoa!

Hands on the wheel, Chikku.

Hands on the wheel.

Yes, it's working.

-Looking great, Neel.

-Mira, there you are.

Queen Shanti would like

to see you right away.

Yes, of course, Ram Singh Ji.

MIKKU: Left, Chikku.

CHIKKU: Sorry, Ram Singh Ji.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Still getting the hang of this thing.

BOTH: Whoa!

A little to the right.

That's perfect, Rubi.

NEEL: Hello, Mother.

Ah, Neel, Mira, my Royal Detective.

Queen Shanti, you wanted to see me?

Yes, dear.

I have a mystery I need you to solve.

(BOTH YELLING)

(CRASHES)

Phew! We made it.

(GROANING)

Someone, not naming names,

steered us into the wrong great hall.

-What did we miss?

-The Queen has a mystery for us.

Indeed. There have been strange noises

and things shaking in the palace

all morning.

I haven't heard anything.

(BANGING)

But I do hear that.

So do we. Aah!

Those sounds are definitely mysterious.

I've never heard anything

like them in the palace.

Well, we cannot figure out

where they're coming from

and we have a very

important guest arriving shortly.

Great Aunt Rupa.

Oh, that's right. She's coming for tea.

(GROWLING AND RUMBLING)

Got it.

Got it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(SIGHS) Oh, dear.

I need everything to be peaceful

and calm for Great Aunt Rupa.

Don't worry, Queen Shanti.

We'll figure out where

those mysterious noises are coming from.

We're on the case.

Queen Shanti, where exactly

did you hear the noises?

Here, in the great hall.

I heard some in the music room.

And I heard some

in the kitchen and library.

Got it. We'll split up

and check out those rooms

so you can get ready for

Great Aunt Rupa to arrive.

Thank you, Mira.

I knew I could count on you.

Neel, you check the music room.

I'll check the library.

Mikku, Chikku, you look in the kitchen.

ALL: On it.

Hmm.

Maybe these books fell off the shelf

and made a loud noise.

(RUMBLING)

Whoa.

Okay, that was definitely weird.

Nothing in this room.

(RUMBLING)

Whoa. Now, that was strange.

All right, noises. You can't scare us.

(SNIFFING) Mmm.

All this looking for noises

is making me hungry. Almond cookie?

Don't mind if I do.

-(GROWLING AND RUMBLING)

-BOTH: Whoa!

Not cool, noises. Not cool.

Did you hear anything?

-I heard something.

-It was loud.

It was after our cookies.

Let's go one at a time.

Neel, what did you hear?

I heard a spraying noise

in the music room.

Almost like the water in the fountain,

but much louder.

Mikku, Chikku,

what did you hear in the kitchen?

It sounded exactly like this.

(IMITATES GROWLING)

Eh. More like this, Mira.

(IMITATES GROWLING)

Huh. Okay.

And I heard

this stomping noise at the library.

So, all the noises we heard are different

and none of them are near each other.

Let's see what happens if I draw a line

between the rooms

where people heard sounds.

Wait a minute.

I think I know where they're coming from.

Let's go to my workshop.

I have to show you something.

This is a map I drew

of the underground tunnels.

BOTH: Ooh.

Mira, hold up your drawing of where

people heard sounds in the palace.

Now, put it on top of

my map of the tunnels.

Look, every spot where

someone heard a sound

was right over the tunnels.

So, we need to check out the tunnels.

-Neel, can you show us?

-Sure thing. This way.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo!

This is one of the entrances

to the secret tunnels.

ALL: Whoa!

Yup. This looks like the kind of place

that would have strange noises.

Wow. Your map is really detailed.

Thanks. I've been exploring the tunnels

every chance I get,

sketching out where they go.

I also added a few upgrades down here.

Like this. I call it the tube talker.

It lets me call up to the palace.

-Testing. One, two

-Uh, one, two, three.

Good morning, Jalpur!

(CLEARS THROAT)

-Who is that?

-It's Mikku and Chikku.

-Our bad.

-Sorry, Ram Singh Ji.

Neel, have you ever heard

strange noises in the tunnels before?

Never. It's usually quiet down here.

(GROWLING AND STOMPING)

There's that stomping noise again.

And splashing.

And more (IMITATES TRUMPET)

A-ha! I know what it is.

Someone's playing a trumpet in a bathtub.

Hang on, there's something on the ground.

It looks like tracks.

The trumpet player must be on the move.

Let's go find her

and tell her to keep it down.

-Guys!

-Wait for us.

(TRUMPETING)

The noises are definitely getting louder.

Trumpet player, drop that trumpet.

MIRA: Aah!

Ugh!

-Watch the glasses.

-Hey, what's the big idea?

Did anyone see who sprayed us?

-Nope.

-Not me.

I could use a towel.

Does anybody see more tracks?

-No. What now, Mira?

-Let's follow that stream instead.

Whoever sprayed us

probably got the water from it.

Come on.

Wow. There are so many rooms down here.

Ugh. Wrinkly paws, people.

Wrinkly paws.

Where did all this water come from?

That's probably my fault.

Yesterday, I asked one of the guards

to help me dig a big hole

in the tunnel wall.

I wanted to find out where it leads.

Turns out, it leads to the forest.

But how did that cause water

to get in here?

Well, it rained pretty hard last night.

I think it must've poured in

through the big hole we made.

RAM SINGH: Hello.

-The noise is back.

-Prepare to get sprayed.

It's just Ram Singh on the tube talker.

You are correct, Mira.

How is the case going?

-It's going well.

-We're getting closer.

Excellent. But please hurry.

Great Aunt Rupa will be here soon.

Don't worry, Ram Singh Ji.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Hmm.

That elephant statue looks like

your family's royal crest.

-You're right.

-Let's think this through.

We heard strange noises

coming from below the palace.

Stomping, spraying, and trumpeting.

Sounds no one has ever

heard down here before.

There's only one thing

that makes big stompy footprints,

sprays water and can make

sounds like a trumpet.

An elephant.

-Really, Mira? An elephant?

-In the tunnels?

Listen very closely, guys.

-(STOMPING)

-Do you hear that stomping?

Mira, there's no way

we would've missed an elephant.

Chikku, I think someone

wants to say hello.

BOTH: Aah!

(TRUMPETING)

Hello, little elephant.

-Whoa!

-Hey, buddy.

Hello there.

Maybe the elephant came in

through the hole you made in the wall.

Well, it's big enough.

We really need to close up that hole soon.

What we need to do now

is help him get back

to the forest where he belongs.

Come on, little guy.

Let's get you home to your family.

(CHUCKLES)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Getting him out is not gonna be easy.

Yeah. He's having a really

good time down here.

What can we do?

Mira

BOTH: We got this.

We'll use the mini fly-cycle

to lead the baby elephant

back out into the forest.

How're you going to do that?

Since he likes playing so much,

we'll play a game to get

the elephant to chase us.

Great idea. Go for it.

Here you go.

MIKKU: Hey, baby elephant.

Bet you can't catch us!

(TRUMPETING)

It's working.

He's chasing them. Come on.

(CHIKKU AND MIKKU LAUGHING)

MIKKU: That's it, buddy.

You're doing great.

CHIKKU: It's working. Come on,

keep it going. Oh, yeah!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Mikku, Chikku, keep going straight.

We're almost out of the tunnel.

BOTH: Got it.

(TRUMPETING)

MIKKU: Bye, bye, tunnel.

CHIKKU: Next stop, the forest.

(TRUMPETING)

MIKKU: We're outside.

CHIKKU: Yay!

(TRUMPETING)

Guys, look, he found his family.

(ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING)

ALL: Aw!

Happy tears. Happy tears.

And that is case closed.

Oof. I better get

cleaned up for Great Auntie Rupa.

Rani Ma, would you care for some tea?

Thank you, my dear.

The palace looks impeccable.

-There you are, little brother.

-Hi, Veer.

Hello, Great Auntie Rupa.

May happiness

and joy be with you, Neel beta.

Look how much you've grown.

MIRA: Namaste, Great Aunt Rupa.

Hello, Mira darling.

Mira, thank you for bringing peace

and order back to the palace.

Will you please stay for some tea?

I would love to, Queen Shanti.

-Huh?

-CHIKKU: Hello, Great Auntie Rupa.

Hello, mongooses. How delightful.

-CHIKKU: Great Auntie Rupa, watch this.

-Oh, yeah.

BOTH: Whoa! Sorry.

Oh, please. (CHUCKLES)

I just adore those mongooses.

BOTH: Whoa!
