MIRA: The Mongoose Cousin mystery.

It's flying. I finally got it to fly!

(WIND WHOOSHING)

Oh! Seriously?

Testing, testing.

One, two. (SOUND DISTORTS)

Soggy samosas!

Wow, Neel. What is that?

I call it the Boom blaster.

I'm going to use it to announce the kite parade today.

If I can get it to work.

Guys, Mikku and Chikku are here.

Ooh, they always make the most amazing kites.

GIRL: Oh, they're here!

All right. MIRA: I can't wait to see what they made.

So what's your big kite this year?

Patience, dear fans.

Are Preeti and Neeti here yet?

Your cousins are coming to the kite parade?

Yep. All the way from the big city,

but I guess we can give our number one fans a sneak peek.

Bhanu?

(BLEATING)

(CROWD APPLAUDING) ALL: Ooh!

MIRA: Incredible! NEEL Right.

This year we went with a food theme.

Actually we go with a food theme every year.

This time, it's the shape

of one of our favorite deserts.

A jalebi!

PREETI: What a kite!

Your kite is amazing.

Preeti! Neeti! Cousins!

Bring it in, cuz.

You made it.

Of course. We're always happy

to get out of the city.

You too, cuz.

(GROANING)

In the ribs!

This is Mira.

The royal detective.

Nice to meet you Neeti and Preeti.

Did you bring a kite?

Mira, we specifically told them

they didn't have to bring a kite.

Yeah, they're gonna be very busy

watching us fly our kite.

Oh, cuz.

Of course, we brought a kite.

BOTH: Ta‐da!

(MIRA GASPS)

BOTH: Wow!

It's so beautiful.

Thanks. Thank you.

Now, (CLEARS THROAT)

there are a lot of things

you need to know about being in the kite parade.

There are?

Lucky for you, you've got your older cousins

to help you out.

Sounds great. Bring it on!

First, you got to know which way the wind is blowing.

BOTH: That way!

DIMPLE: Mama, look at the pretty kite.

Dimple, please come back here.

Let's go back to your mom, Dimple.

Please, can I stay?

I'm sorry, sweetie but your grandma needs us today,

and we get to ride on a water taxi.

Oh! Water taxi!

You dropped something, aunty.

Thank you, Mira.

The lentil stuffing in Dimple's doll keeps falling out.

Another thing we have to fix.

First the rickshaw, now this. (SIGHS)

Let's go, Dimple.

Okay, Preeti and Neeti.

Next thing to keep in mind when flying a kite.

Stay focused.

And don't get distracted. Very important.

BOTH: Got it.

BOTH: Ooh!

BOTH: Snacks!

Snacks are an important part of kite flying too.

Yeah, you do not want to fly a kite on an empty stomach.

I'm with you. Sounds good to me.

How about I wait in line for snacks,

while you all secure your kites?

Excellent plan. Good thinking.

Now,

you need to make sure your kite doesn't fly away.

So, we get some help from our friend, Bhanu.

Thanks, Bhanu. (BLEATING)

Bhanu, where are you going?

Well, if you can't find a goat

you can put yours down on this table.

BOTH: Okay.

Um, but it could blow away from there.

Don't you think?

Not if you use a rock like this one to hold it down.

Hmm.

Do you think that rock's big enough?

The wind seems a little strong today, cuz.

Oh, sure. It'll be fine.

Who wants a jalebi?

ALL: Yay! Jalpur snacks.

Mmm, yum.

Jalpur has the best jalebis ever.

NEEL: Hi, players. It's almost time.

The parade is starting soon.

Let's go get our kites.

Hey, what happened to our kite?

It's not on the table.

It's not? Where is it?

Here's the rock.

Uh, I thought it was supposed to hold down our kite.

I guess the wind was really strong.

And the rock I picked

might not have been big enough.

(GASPS) Oh, no!

What if our kite blew away?

Don't worry. We'll find your kite

before the parade starts.

We are on the case of the missing kite.

♪ We're on the case We're on the case

♪ we're on the case

♪ Look a little closer With your magnifying glass

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 ♪

So the last time you saw your kite,

it was on the table, right?

Yes, but if it blew away

how will we ever find it?

Don't worry. Mira is a great detective.

And we are excellent helpers.

If we all work together,

we will find your kite.

Let's start by looking for some clues.

We're expert clue‐finders.

Can you believe it? We're on a case.

This would never happen in the city.

Uh! Ow!

God job, Chikku. You led us to our first clue.

It's what I do.

Does this ribbon look familiar?

BOTH: Yes. It's from our kite.

Great. Let's make a note of it.

But how will one ribbon help us find our kite?

This park is huge. It could be anywhere.

Let's take a closer look at the ribbon.

(GASPS) A magnifying glass.

Mikku, Chikku.

Do you guys get to use it too?

Oh, yeah.

She lets us use it all the time.

MIRA: Now this is interesting.

See these marks on the ribbon?

It looks like a bike or a cart rode over it.

BOTH: Ah!

We need to look on the ground

for matching tracks.

Maybe, they'll lead us to your kite.

ALL: Yeah!

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

ALL: Yeah! Yes!

(SNEEZES)

Mira, Mira. I found some tracks.

Oh! There are so many tracks.

Everywhere.

How do we know which are the right ones?

Let's take another look at the ribbon.

What does the pattern look like?

ALL: Snacks.

Well, we do think

everything looks like snacks.

So true. (LAUGHS)

I see the love of food runs in the family.

(GASPS) It also looks like bricks

on a building.

Good one, Neeti.

(LAUGHS) Yeah you're right.

We have a lot of buildings in the city,

so, I see bricks like all the time.

Everyone. Let's look for brick shaped tracks.

Okay. Brick tracks. We definitely know what they look like.

Hey Neeti, I wish we didn't loose our kite.

But getting to be detectives

is pretty great.

And so is,

running through soft grass.

We never get to do that in the city.

You know what's even better?

running through the grass without your shoes.

Really?

We never wear shoes.

Try it. Wait.

No shoes?

At all?

(BOTH EXCLAIM CHEERFULLY)

PREETI: This feels amazing.

(EXCITED CHATTER CONTINUES)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Hey look, more brick tracks.

Over here. MIRA: Great.

They are so good. Amazing.

NEEL: Hello, kite flyers.

Please line‐up by the stage.

The kite parade will begin shortly.

Oh, no, it's too late.

We're not gonna have our kite before the parade.

MIRA: Neeti. Preeti.

We're not stopping until we find your kite.

Mira never gives up.

And neither do we.

Uh... What do we do now?

We just need to keep following the tracks

and looking for clues.

BOTH: On it.

I found a leaf. I found a branch.

I'm not sure those are clues, Preeti and Neeti.

Those are things you expect to find on a road.

We're looking for something that seems

out of place. ALL: On it.

Chikku are you coming?

Hang on. I got a bunch of pebbles

between my toes.

I don't think those are pebbles.

They look like...

Yellow lentils.

I saw someone with yellow lentils before.

Let's think this through.

The yellow lentils

fell out of Dimple's stuffed doll.

So, everywhere she went,

she probably dropped lentils.

What if

Dimple saw the kite on the ground and picked it up?

So, Dimple took the kite?

We need to ask her.

Dimple's mom said they were catching a water taxi.

Let's head to the river.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Cousin Neeti,

the river is that way.

Oopsie.

Dimple, where are you?

Where are you?

(GASPS) There she is.

Dimple does have the kite.

You were right.

Wow. Mira.

That's our Royal Detective.

She's good.

One small problem.

We need a boat to get to Dimple.

and there are no boats around.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking.

Only if you're thinking what I'm thinking.

On the count of three.

BOTH: One,

two...

(WATER SPLASHES)

We forgot three. No time for three.

Swim. (BOTH GRUNTING)

Go Mikku. Go Chikku.

Those guys are my cousins. Go, go, go, go.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Gooses.

(SHIVERS)

Oh, my.

Whoopsies. Sorry, aunty.

Mikku. Chikku.

Want can I do for you?

We need to talk to Dimple.

Dimple, you have our cousin's kite.

This? I found it

blowing around on the ground.

But is it yours Dimple?

No. I'm sorry gooses.

That's okay, Dimple.

Our cousins are going to be so happy to have it back.

Come on, guys. Come on, guys! I hope

they bring it back in time. Woo‐hoo.

(GASPS) They got our kite.

They got our kite. They got our kite.

Victory. They did it.

BOTH: Whee.

Woo‐hoo! Oh yeah.

BOTH: Ta‐da.

The case of the missing kite is closed.

So closed.

Great job, guys.

Neeti, Preeti, we're sorry

we acted like we knew everything about kites.

We just wanted you to think we're really great.

Oh, Chikku we do think you're really great.

Yeah, you're amazing at solving mysteries.

(SHUDDERS) Happy tears, happy tears, happy tears.

Aw bring it in, cuz.

Yeah you too, cuz.

Glasses. Oh, rib.

Aww.

Uh, guys.

Sorry to interrupt your moment

but we should get going so we can make the parade.

ALL: The parade.

Ladies and gentlemen

please welcome Jalpur's Royal Detective

Mira and her lotus flower kite. (CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)

And now a beautiful peacock kite

from first time kite flyers visiting from the city.

Preeti and Neeti. (CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)

And last but not least,

Mikku and Chikku. (CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)

With a jalebi kite

that looks good enough... (MEGAPHONE FEEDBACK)

Good enough to eat.

GIRL: Wow. MAN: Beautiful.

(CROWD CONTINUES EXCLAIMING)

GIRL: They're beautiful.

They're flying so high.

Oh. The Kite Festival is incredible.

Hey, can we come every year?

I'm sure, Mikku and Chikku would love that.

BOTH: Definitely.

Whoa...

(CONTINUE SCREAMING)

(ROOSTER CROWS)

MIRA: The Marble Egg Mystery.

Kamala, I'm so proud of you.

It's not every day the Queen

wants to serve your sweets at a royal event.

Thanks, Mira.

But I'm so nervous.

I just want everything to be perfect.

Do you think this box looks okay?

It's beautiful.

And your laddoos are amazing.

The Queen's guests will love them

just as much as we do.

Well, maybe not as much as we do.

Mm, uh‐uh, no way.

We love 'em more. Thanks Mikku and Chikku.

Here. BOTH: Ow!

(BOTH GRUNT)

Huh. Well that worked out.

Quite a pile of laddoos you've got there Chikku.

Not as big as yours.

Yet...

Kamala, I need you.

What is it, Dimple? Everything okay?

No, I need someone

to play hopscotch with me.

Hopscotch?

I don't have time for a hopscotch.

Dimple, let your sister finish packing her laddoos.

Kamala, here's the last batch.

Thanks, Mom. Hello, Mira dear.

Thank you so much for helping Kamala.

Of course. Happy to, Aunty. NEEL: Ahh!

Soggy samosas! (CRASHES)

Neel, are you okay?

I'm fine, but...

Kamala.

Your laddoos are not so fine.

Sorry, let me help you restack them.

Thanks, Prince Neel.

These look amazing.

Don't you think Neel? Yeah. Incredible.

BOTH: Runaway laddoo.

(BOTH SHOUTING) I got it. I got it.

(CLUCKING)

Raj got it.

(CLUCKING) Not cool, Raj.

Not cool. (CLUCKING)

(CLUCKING)

So, you know how my mom is hosting

a royal lunch today.

Of course.

She asked Kamala to make sweets for the event.

Well, she also wanted a special gift for our guest.

Princess Shivani.

And guess who she asked to pick it out for her.

BOTH: Prince Veer?

No. Not my brother.

Me. That's great, Neel.

You have to see the gift I chose.

Any chance it might happen to be... Snacks.

Nope. It's an egg.

Um, an egg?

Eh, I already had breakfast.

It's not a real egg.

There's a picture of it on the box.

It's made of marble a kind of stone.

Check it out.

(GASPS) Where is it!

It's gone.

This can't be happening.

The Royal Lunch is starting soon.

My mom trusted me with this important royal duty.

I can't let her down.

Neel, don't worry.

We'll find it before the lunch starts.

We're on the case of the missing marble egg.

Kamala, can you pack the rest of the boxes,

while I help Neel? Sure, Mira.

Thanks. Now Neel,

please, describe the marble egg in detail.

Well, it's white and it opens up.

Was there a baby chick inside?

I bet there was. What if it escaped?

Here baby chick.

Here little chicky.

Guys it's not a real egg.

Actually, there's a tiny marble elephant inside.

That's why I chose this gift.

The elephant is the symbol of our kingdom.

What better way to welcome a royal guest.

May I see the box? Sure, Mira.

The egg has a pattern on it.

That could help us find it.

Aha. Very interesting.

What's that Chikku? This fancy box

is the perfect size for my laddoo.

You could even call it a laddoo box.

Maybe the egg fell out of the box.

Neel, let's search your rickshaw.

Great idea.

No sign of a marble egg anywhere.

Mikku? Chikku?

Nothing. Nope.

(WHEEL SQUEAKING)

Neel, check it out.

This wheel is wobbling.

But this one's not.

NEEL: Hmm.

Both wheels were fine when I left the palace,

but I did hit a bump at the top of that hill.

That must have bent the wheel.

Then maybe that's where‐ The marble egg fell out?

Yes!

Let's go look.

We'll be right here, if you need us.

Keeping close watch for any eggs rolling around out there.

I hit the bump here.

See the wheel tracks?

(GASPS) What is it, Neel?

Check out that pattern on the ground.

Hmm. Just like the one on the egg.

So it did land here.

Maybe it rolled down the hill.

Oh, rolling race.

I am in.

No guys, not a rolling race.

We think the marble egg rolled down the hill.

But, you just gave me an idea.

We can roll something else down the hill

to see where the marble egg would have gone.

I wanna roll. Oh, pick me, pick me.

(LAUGHS) Sorry guys.

We need to roll something that's about

the same size and weight as the marble egg.

Like this laddoo?

Thanks Chikku. But we need something more solid.

I was hoping she'd say that.

Mm. Something like...

This rock.

Perfect fit.

Maybe I should ride my rickshaw over the bump again

and see if this rock falls out and rolls.

Exactly.

And if it does, we'll know

that's what the marble egg did too.

Then we can follow the rock and see where it lands.

And maybe... BOTH: We'll find the marble egg.

Okay, Neel, show me what happened.

So, I was coming down the hill here, towards that bump.

The box was right here on the seat. Excellent.

Mikku and Chikku, I have an important job for you two.

If the rock falls out and starts rolling, can you follow it?

Sure thing. We won't let you down.

Ready, steady, go!

I hit the bump there.

The wheel got wobbly,

and the marble egg must have bounced out.

MIRA: Just like that.

NEEL: Then it would have hit that spot on the ground.

And rolled down the hill.

CHIKKU: Go, rock!

MIKKU: You can do it, little rock!

Whoa, the rock went in the door.

So, the marble egg must have, too.

BOTH: Follow that rock!

It stopped right on the hopscotch board.

Ooh, then I bet the marble egg did, too.

But I don't see the egg anywhere.

Don't worry, Neel, we'll find it.

VEER: Find what?

Uh... Um...

Nothing, Veer.

Well, well, well,

don't tell me you lost the rare, priceless gift

that our dear mother entrusted to you.

It's not lost,

it's just been misplaced.

But I've got the Royal Detective on the case.

That's right, Prince Veer.

Neel will have it in time for the lunch.

There's nothing to worry about.

Yeah! Who's worried? (CHUCKLES) Not me.

Well, Mother just sent me to tell you

that Princess Shivani just arrived,

so you may wanna speed up your search.

She's here already? She's early.

Go on ahead, Veer. I'll... I'll be right behind you.

As you wish, little brother.

See you back at the palace.

Mira, it's too late.

The princess is already at the palace.

We're not giving up, Neel.

We're really close, I can feel it.

Look, the same pattern is on the hopscotch board.

That means the marble egg did land here.

Then where is it?

Someone must have picked it up.

Let's think this through.

We know that Dimple was playing hopscotch earlier.

We also know that when Neel hit the bump in the road,

his marble egg fell out and rolled down the hill,

right onto Dimple's hopscotch board.

So what if Dimple picked up the marble egg?

We need to talk to Dimple.

(DIMPLE HUMMING)

ALL: Dimple!

Gooses!

Is she ever gonna call us mongooses?

Hi, gooses!

Do you want to help me feed the chickens?

Does she mean Raj, the angry chicken?

BOTH: No, thank you.

Dimple, Prince Neel lost a very special egg.

An egg? Did you see it?

Yes, but that's not your egg, Prince Neel.

It's my chicken's egg.

Mira, I bet Dimple thought the marble egg was a real egg

and gave it to the chickens.

Dimple, did you give the special egg to your chickens?

Yeah, my chicken, Rani.

She's gonna have a baby chicken now.

Can you show us?

Yes.

But you have to be super quiet though,

'cause Raj doesn't like a lot of noise

when Rani's sitting on an egg.

That's it. That's the egg.

Dimple, it's not a real egg.

It's a marble egg that Prince Neel really needs.

Oh, sorry, Prince Neel.

You can have it back.

If I can get it back.

(ANGRY CLUCKING)

Prince Neel, Mira, we got this.

Right, Chikku?

Uh, this one's all you, Mikku.

Hello there, Mr... (ANGRY CLUCKING)

Thanks for your time. Bye.

Wait, I have an idea.

Remember when Raj ate the laddoo that fell off the table?

BOTH: Oh, yeah.

That means he likes laddoos.

Now, if only I had one to offer him.

Go ahead, take it, Mira.

It's for the good of the case.

Thanks, guys. Now, as soon as he's safely away...

I'll grab the marble egg.

Perfect.

Raj, have some laddoo. (CLUCKING)

Here you go. That's a good chicken.

Come on, follow me.

Right this way. That's it. There you go.

Sorry, Rani. This egg actually belongs

to the Queen, and I was just wondering...

(ANGRY CLUCKING) (NEEL SCREAMS)

(EXCLAIMS)

Some for you, too, Rani.

Phew. (CLUCKING)

The case of the marble egg is closed.

ALL: Yes! BOTH: Oof!

Now, we just need to get dressed for the party,

grab the egg and Kamala's laddoos , and head to the palace.

Princess Shivani, it's so lovely to have you come visit.

Thank you, Queen Shanti.

Mmm, these laddoos are so delicious.

Yes, they are made by one of the finest young chefs

in Jalpur, dear Kamala.

Oh, I'm so glad you like them.

We have a very special gift for you, Princes Shivani.

Prince Neel picked it out for you himself.

Thank you, Mother. It's a great honor.

(GASPS)

Feather. And here it is.

What a beautiful gift. Oh, look.

There's an elephant inside.

Thank you, Prince Neel.

Well done, Neel. Very well done.

I think Neel is ready for more Royal duties.

Don't you, Veer?

Oh, yes, Mother. Beginner's luck.
