[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: The Case

of the Lost Tree House.

Hurry! The train will be here soon.

Mira, I'm so excited

for you to meet Mohamed.

He's my oldest, best friend in the world.

I can't wait, Papa.

It's so great that he's stopping

in Jalpur.

-The train!

-It's here!

(STEAM HISSING)

-MIKKU: Where is he? Where is he?

-CHIKKU: Where is he?

Ooh, I bet that's him.

(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

Wrong! It's Dhruv.

Hey, Dhruv.

Well, the next one off will be him.

(KID BLEATING)

Uh, is he wearing a goat costume?

There he is. Mohamed, my old friend.

Sahil!

BOTH: Oye! Hoye! Oye! Hoye!

Phata Phata Phatt!

Chooku chooku chooku! De tali, clap!

Wow! What was that?

(CHUCKLING) We used to do that

when we were kids.

Mohamed, this is my daughter, Mira,

and her friends, Mikku and Chikku.

Nice to meet you, Uncle.

And you, Mira.

A pleasure to meet the daughter

of my old friend, Sahil the Stepper!

-Sahil the Stepper!

-Who's that?

Oh, that was my nickname.

Because I used to dance whenever something

made me happy.

I never knew that, Papa.

Mira, there are probably many things

you don't know about your papa.

-But I will tell you.

-(LAUGHING) Great.

I want to hear everything.

Mohamed, one thing you may not know

is that I make a excellent cup of chai.

Come with us.

Sounds wonderful.

BOTH: Oye! Hoye! Oye! Hoye!

Phata Phata Phatt!

Chooku chooku chooku! De tali, clap!

You gotta admit, it's very catchy.

Delicious tea and yellow raspberries!

Mmm, my favorite. Thank you, Mira.

Of course.

So, old friend, where are you

headed from here?

A village in the south.

I've been hired to design a library there.

Uncle is an architect.

-BOTH: A what now?

-An architect.

That means he draws plans

for what a building is going to look like.

And then make sure it gets built,

just like the drawing.

MOHAMED: Exactly. This is how

the new library will look.

You drew that?

The man's got talent.

Mohamed has always been

really good at drawing.

When we were little,

he drew a mustache on my face.

It took a week to wash off.

I can get this one off in minutes.

Chikku, this mustache is not drawn on.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, right. Whoopsie.

Speaking of drawing, do you remember this?

I do. That's us.

But you're both tiny.

MIRA: It was drawn

when they were little, Mikku.

Now they're big.

We were 10-years-old.

Last time I saw this drawing, it was

pinned to the wall of our tree house.

-Did you say tree house?

-Tree house?

Papa, you never told me

you had a tree house.

We did. We built it in the woods

outside of Jalpur.

I want a tree house.

That way I could be in a tree

and also in a house! Win, win!

Mohamed, wouldn't it be wonderful

to go back and visit it sometime?

How about now?

BOTH: Now works for us.

Oh, I mustn't miss my train.

But I would love to see that

tree house again.

You know what? Let's go.

Hooray! Last one there is a lazy ladoo!

(LAUGHS DELIGHTEDLY)

I've never seen Papa dance

like that before.

He must be really happy.

Those are some serious steps.

The man's got moves!

Who knew?

(ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING)

So which way do we go from here?

BOTH: That way!

You don't remember, do you?

I'm afraid not, beti.

It was so many years ago.

Oof. It must be around here somewhere.

Don't worry. I'll help you

find that tree house.

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

First things first.

Can you describe what kind of tree

your tree house was in?

Well, it was a small tree about this high.

What kind of leaves were on it?

They were shaped kind of like a shovel.

Really? I could have sworn

they were more heart-shaped.

Got it. Sounds like you're

describing a Bodhi tree.

They have heart-shaped leaves.

Eh, shovel-shaped.

So we need to look

for a little Bodhi tree.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

-MIKKU: Oh, yeah!

-CHIKKU: Tree house, here we come!

Ah, remember when we camped out

overnight in the treehouse?

We had a burping contest.

My burps were so loud,

they scared the birds.

(GRUNTS) My burps were way louder!

(MIRA LAUGHS)

-No way!

-I'm impressed.

Even we can't do that.

Oh, so many good times.

(SINGING) I remember it

Like yesterday

I can see it

In my mind

Our favorite way

To spend the day

To play and pass the time

We'd gather up

Our games

Our snacks

And our stories

And climb up, up, up!

To our tree house!

Ha, ha!

Laughter and adventure

Up high!

When the sun came up

On the Bodhi tree

It was another day

For you and me

Building forts

And memories

We'd live it up

Up in the sky!

In our tree house!

Oye! Hoye! Oye! Hoye!

Phata Phata Phat!

Chooku chooku chooku!

De tali, clap!

What do you say, Sahil the Stepper,

for old time's sake?

Up, up, up to our tree house!

Ha, ha, ha!

Laughter and adventure

Up high!

When the sun came up

On the Bodhi tree!

It was another day

For you and me

Building forts

And memories

We'd live it up

Up in the sky!

In our tree house!

BOTH: Whoa!

Ow! My back did not like that.

And my knees wish

they were 10-years-old again.

But no sign of a little Bodhi tree.

You're right, Papa, Uncle.

Do you remember the things

that you used to pass on your way there?

Unusual looking rocks, strange vines.

Oh, now that you mention it,

there was a little yellow raspberry bush.

That's right. The yellow raspberry bush

was where we would turn left.

Now we're talking.

Keep those memories coming, people.

Oh, and then, there was a little stream

and we would jump over it.

And on the other side

of the stream was our treehouse.

That's great. Now we have a map.

So first, we need to find

that little yellow raspberry bush.

Mikku, Chikku, can you help?

Ah, yes! I smell

something tangy and sweet.

That's what raspberries smell like.

This way.

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

One little yellow raspberry

bush, right here.

You can't get anything

by the super sniffers!

Nice work, guys. Just one problem.

It's huge.

Wow! I remember we would jump

right over it.

Used to be just a little bush.

But now, it's so big.

Hmm. It will be a challenge

getting past all these thorns.

Hmm. I have an idea.

If I use my Grapple Grabber,

then we can use the rope as

BOTH: A swing!

Just like when we were kids.

Great thinking, beti.

(GRAPPLE GRABBER SWOOSHING)

ALL: Whee!

I loved that! Let's do it again!

I wish I could, old friend,

but we need to find the tree house

before I have to catch my train.

Next. Let's look for the little stream.

According to our map,

it should be this way.

It's getting warm.

I won't mind going for a dip

in the stream.

Yeah, sounds very relaxing.

That does not look relaxing.

MOHAMED: We used to just

hop right over this.

Now we need a catapult to launch us over.

Mira, you don't happen

to have one in your elephant bag, do you?

(LAUGHING) We don't need a catapult, Papa.

What we need is a raft.

So why don't we build one?

Let's see.

We'll need bamboo, vines,

and a few extra paws,

-We can help you there!

-We're in!

(ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING)

Ah! You've always been great

at building things, Mohamed.

And you, my friend, have always been

a great leader.

It's no wonder you have

such an impressive job at the palace.

(GRUNTS) There we go!

Everyone, hop on!

MIRA: It's perfect, Uncle.

MOHAMED: Thank you, Mira.

You guys go ahead.

We're gonna take this nice little boat.

Betcha, we beat you across.

Mongoose muscle wins every time!

(KISSES)

(PADDLING FURIOUSLY)

MIKKU: Wow, the current is strong.

Yeah, even stronger than

mongoose muscle

(CHIKKU YELLING)

MIRA: Uh-oh. Guys,

you're heading towards a waterfall.

CHIKKU (EXCLAIMING): This just got

even less relaxing!

Don't worry! We'll take care of this.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

I have an idea! Mira, may I use your bag?

Mohamed, do you have any rope?

Of course.

BOTH: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Mikku, Chikku, jump into the bag!

Whoa!

Going up!

-Yes!

-Nice save, old friend.

-Thank you, Uncle!

-That was close!

Happy to help, my friends.

MIRA: We made it past the river.

So the small Bodhi tree

should be right around here.

-MIKKU: Hey, Bodhi Tree.

-CHIKKU: Show yourself.

I don't see a small Bodhi tree anywhere.

Maybe our tree house is gone.

Uh, I'm afraid it's time

for me to head back.

I have to catch my train.

-BOTH: No!

-You can't leave now.

Yeah, we haven't found the tree house yet.

Well, we tried our best, my friends.

It was wonderful to see you again, Sahil.

And to remember all the good times we had,

I want you to have this.

Look at us!

-We were so young.

-MIKKU: And so little.

Wait a second.

They were little,

but when they grew up, they got big.

Just like some other things we saw today.

Let's think this through.

On our way here, we passed

a yellow raspberry bush and a stream.

Papa and Uncle remembered

them being small.

But now, all those things are big.

So that means we shouldn't be looking

for a small Bodhi tree.

We should be looking for a big one!

ALL: Oh!

So let's go find it.

(ALL CLAMORING)

MIRA: This is the Bodhi tree.

Yes. The leaves are shaped like shovels.

(WHISPERS) Hearts.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

MIRA: There's the rope ladder!

Your tree house must be in this tree!

-You did it!

-Here we come!

Up you go, Mira.

ALL: Wow!

Thanks to Mira, the case

of the lost tree house

BOTH: is closed!

It's so cozy.

We made the chairs from tree stumps.

My father helped make this swing.

-I like it.

-This is the life, people.

And there's the tapestry

your Auntie Pushpa made for the wall.

Oh, it's beautiful!

(GRUNTS)

Ceiling's a little lower than I remember,

but I could stay here for hours.

Don't you have a train to catch?

(SCOFFS) I'll take the next one.

I'd much rather spend more time

with my old friend and his family.

(LAUGHS) Well said, my friend.

BOTH: Oye! Hoye! Oye! Hoye!

Phata Phata Phatt!

Chooku chooku chooku! De tali, clap!

Papa, I love seeing you like this.

It's like you're a kid again.

I feel like a kid again. h*, h*, h*!

I know the feeling.

Watch out, Sahil the Stepper!

(BHANGRA MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, you three aren't the only ones

in Jalpur who know how to step.

Oh, yeah! Make way for Mikku and Chikku,

the Super Steppers!

(LAUGHING)

(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)

MIRA: The Case of the Vanishing Picnic

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU HUMMING)

Chikku, when setting up a picnic blanket,

all the plates must be perfectly straight.

And the napkins must be straight, too.

Seriously?

Mikku, Chikku, I got some flowers.

Thank you, Mira.

(SNIFFS) Subtly sweet, fragrant,

yet not too overpowering.

Smells pretty!

(SNEEZES)

Wow! You guys are going all out.

It's not every day that are cousins

come to visit from the big city.

Just wait till Neeti and Preeti

feast their eyes on this.

Mmm, smells so good.

Only the best for our cousins.

Our special halwa, secret family recipe.

And our special pakoras.

Super-secret family recipe.

I can't wait to try them.

But first, let's get to the train station.

Neeti and Preeti will be here any minute.

BOTH: Yes!

-Let's go!

-MIKKU: To the train station.

Ow!

Chikku, quit throwing food.

Huh! Mikku.

I would never Oh, a nut.

Where did this come from?

It was those monkeys.

They're playing catch.

MIKKU: Hiya, monkeys.

Hey, buddies.

Guys, that's the train. Come on!

-They're almost here!

-All right!

(TRAIN CHUGS)

NEETI AND PREETI: Mikku! Chikku!

-MIKKU: Cuz!

-CHIKKU: Other cuz!

Mira!

Whoa! Hi, Neeti.

Hello, Mira.

Hi, Preeti. How was your trip?

The trip was great.

No time for small talk.

Wait till you see the picnic we prepared.

-A picnic?

-Amazing!

Hey, look at those great kites.

We should get one for the picnic.

I'll go pick one out

and meet you at the park.

Great idea, Mira.

-To the park!

-Picnic time!

-No peeking.

-My eyes are closed.

Mine, too.

Are you ready for the greatest

picnic of your life?

-Yes!

-So ready.

(GASPS) Where's the picnic basket?

Can we open our eyes now?

BOTH: No!

Because we're not there yet.

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

NEETI: This is some surprise.

You can say that again.

You can open your eyes now. Ta-da!

-A slide?

-What about the picnic?

All in good time, cuz.

First you got to work up your appetite

by going down the slide.

Mikku, that's genius.

I mean, that's right.

Yay, slide!

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

Whee!

MIRA: Guys, I got a kite for us.

Hey, what happened to the picnic basket?

BOTH: It's missing!

All the good food, the pakoras and

Ugh, I can't say it.

the halwa. It's gone!

What are we gonna do?

Mikku, Chikku, we are going to find

that picnic basket.

Okay? 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

Let's look around and see if we can find

any clues on the blanket.

-Nothing here.

-Or here.

Huh, what's this? A tiny piece of wood.

It looks like it's part

of your picnic basket.

What's stuck to it?

A crushed shell. Very strange.

-Any idea where it came from?

-Absolutely not.

Shells have no place at a fancy picnic.

Huh, it could be a clue.

NEETI: Hey, let's slide some more.

-PREETI: Me first!

-BOTH: Let's go together!

(BOTH WHOOPING)

Uh, Mira. What do we do about our cousins?

We can't keep them busy

on the slide for much longer.

-NEETI: Let's practice our moves!

-PREETI: Great idea, sis.

Why don't you just tell

them that the basket's gone missing?

They didn't come

all the way from the big city

to learn about stolen picnic baskets.

I know they'll understand.

I'll go look for clues

on the other side of the park, okay?

BOTH: Great.

(GASPS) We need to come up

with a way to distract

Neeti and Preeti while Mira keeps looking.

Looking for what?

-BOTH: Ahhh!

-Uh, we're looking for Priya.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Hey, Priya!

Oh, hi, Mikku and Chikku.

Hi, Neeti and Preeti.

Priya, we need you to take our cousins

to the boutique to look at purses.

But Mira said you're

having a picnic today.

Right! And you can't

have a picnic without a new purse.

BOTH: We can't?

-You can't?

-Work with us.

No, you need to get dressed up.

That's how we do picnics in Jalpur.

It's a Jalpur tradition. You get it.

A Jalpur tradition.

Uh-huh. Okay, sure.

Come on, girls. Let's get some purses.

-Sure.

-Sounds great.

-Bye!

-Bill us later.

MIRA: Guys, over here.

Mira, please tell us you found it.

No, but I found another piece of wood

from the basket.

What's wood from our basket

doing all the way over here?

I'm not sure. And check this out.

Another crushed shell.

Like we saw earlier.

Exactly.

And it looks like there's a trail.

Come on, let's follow it.

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

The trail ends there.

So it must be around here somewhere.

What must be around here somewhere?

Uh you must be.

And you are, huh?

Looks like you picked out

some beautiful purses.

Thanks. Now we're all ready to picnic.

You got purses,

but where are your bangles?

Can't picnic without bangles.

We got some of those, too.

-What about earrings?

-Chunnis?

BOTH: Got them.

-Necklaces!

-Anklets!

BOTH: Have them!

Let's just say they had a bit

of a shopping extravaganza.

Thanks for taking them, Priya.

Sure thing.

Have a great time at your picnic.

BOTH: Picnic. Aw.

It's okay. You can tell them.

Preeti and Neeti will understand.

Understand what?

Well, we planned

the perfect picnic, but

Now we don't know

where the picnic basket is.

And you came all the way from the city.

We're so sorry.

Oh, Mikku, Chikku. We're here

because we love spending time with you.

She's right, cuz.

It doesn't matter what we do.

As long as we're together. Bring it in.

BOTH: Aw.

-CHIKKU: Nothing like a hug.

-Too bad about the picnic, though.

Guys, we're not giving up.

Maybe Neeti and Preeti

can help us find the picnic basket.

We'd love to.

We are on the case.

Great. But first, a snack.

Yeah, you must be hungry.

We aren't that hungry.

We've been eating these nuts.

Check it out. I call this

the Flying Nutcracker!

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

They're so yummy.

I'd actually like to take

a closer look at this shell.

Huh. This looks familiar.

Neeti, Preeti, where did you

get those nuts?

Some monkeys gave them to us.

More like threw them at us.

Is that also a Jalpur tradition?

Monkeys, huh?

I think I know what happened.

-You do?

-Let's think this through.

Earlier today, we saw some monkeys

throwing nuts.

MIKKU: Did you have to remind me?

CHIKKU: What's that

got to do with anything?

MIRA: Well, we found

nut shells all over town,

Along with some small pieces of wood

that came from the picnic basket.

So maybe the monkeys

grabbed the basket and ran away with it,

dropping shells everywhere they went.

Mira, you think the monkeys

have our basket?

We need to find out.

Let's check the tree

where we first saw them.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

There's the tree.

And more shells and pieces of wood.

And look! There's the picnic basket.

You found it!

Yup, she's that good.

NEETI: The basket's moving!

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: What?

(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

-Hand over our basket!

-Not cool, monkeys. Not cool.

Monkeys, that's our basket.

Will you please give it back? Ooh!

Hey! That is no way

to treat the Royal Detective.

Get them! Don't even try

to mess with the mongooses.

ALL: Yeah!

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

(CLAMORING)

MIRA: Quick! They're headed for the park.

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

MIKKU: Here, little monkeys.

We just want to talk to you.

CHIKKU: Lost them!

Where'd they go?

-(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

-Your basket. It's way up there.

(ALL YELLING)

-Mira

-ALL: We got this!

Mikku, Chikku, we'll distract the monkeys

so you can climb up and get the basket.

-Come on, Neeti.

-NEETI: Let's do it!

Hey, monkeys. Can you do this?

(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

Hey, those monkeys are pretty good.

But can they do this?

(BHANGRA MUSIC PLAYING)

Operation "Distract the monkeys"

is working.

Now is our chance.

-Got it!

-That's how it's done, people!

BOTH: Yay!

You did it! Great job!

-Can I say it?

-I want to say it too, Neeti.

Of course.

BOTH: The case of the missing

picnic basket is closed.

-Well done!

-All that detective work made me hungry.

Who's ready for some halwa?

(ALL CLAMORING)

(MONKEYS CHATTERING)

Wow, they seem pretty hungry.

Bananas?

(MONKEY CHATTERING)

That was the best halwa I've ever had.

It was delicious.

(MONKEY SHRIEKING)

Sounds like the monkeys are still hungry.

I have a few extra nuts in my purse.

Uh

Where's my purse?

PREETI: Where's my purse?

Get those monkeys!

(MONKEYS CHATTERING)

MIKKU: This is definitely

not a Jalpur tradition.
