MIRA: Mystery at the marketplace.

Priya!

Meena!

Where are you two?

We're here.

We heard there's some exciting news.

What is it?

We can't take the suspense.

Seriously, cannot take it.

Hey, guys. Hi.

So, what's the big news?

And why did you ask me to bring my tabla?

Our Papa is coming home today!

I painted this for him.

ALL: Ooh!

Wow, it's beautiful, Priya.

I can't wait to see uncle Naveen.

I know, right?

He's been away on a work trip forever.

We're throwing him a welcome home party.

So he knows how much we missed him.

We're going to decorate this whole place.

And make his favorite dessert.

Laddus!

That was my idea.

We're also gonna sing him

a special song we wrote.

So, that's why we asked you to bring your tabla.

Will you play with us? I'd love to.

Sounds like a party. I'm there.

Oh, there's so much to do.

Get fruit and decorations from the market,

finish preparing my five course meal,

look effortlessly beautiful.

How about we go to the market for you, Auntie Pushpa.

Oh, that would be such a help, my sweet niece.

Here's the list.

(BOTH GROAN)

Okay, then.

We should probably split this up.

I'll handle everything we need for the laddus,

since it was my idea to make them.

Meena, you'll need to get more

of this delicious cinnamon sugar.

It makes the laddus... Extra special.

Just the way Papa likes them.

I know, Mommy, I'll get more.

Oh, make sure you get it from Mr. Khan

with the purple bags like this.

He has the best spices.

Thank you, darlings.

Let's go.

Bye. Be back soon.

Oh! I forgot to invite my brother.

So much to do, so much to do!

Looks like they're giving out fruit samples today, Chikku.

Well, then we better sample them

and see just how yummy they are.

Meena, there's Mr. Khan's spice shop.

Right. He has the cinnamon sugar.

Let's meet back here.

See you soon. Bye.

Guess what, Dhruv? My dad's coming home today.

Hey, that's great, Meena.

I should really get him a gift.

So he knows how much I missed him.

Oh, I bet he'd love one of those coin purses.

And those shoes!

And a pen!

I have to get him a pen.

Ooh! Look at that cup.

Okay, I got the lanterns.

And I got food and flowers.

Where's Meena?

Coming! I'm coming.

What's all that stuff?

I got gifts for Papa.

Check out this coin purse,

and this pen,

and wait till you see these shoes.

And you know what rhymes with shoes?

Laddus!

Let's go make them!

Wait! I forgot the cinnamon sugar.

What? What?

Meena, that was the one thing you were supposed to get.

I can't believe I did that.

It's okay. We can go back. Come on.

This is his shop.

Ugh. It's locked up.

Oh, no.

Where is he?

I can't make Papa's favorite laddus without the cinnamon sugar.

Disaster! Say it isn't so.

Don't worry, Meena, we will find him.

Mira, how are we going to find Mr. Khan?

Hmm, let's think.

MIRA: All the other shops are still open.

So there must be a reason why Mr. Khan decided to close early.

Maybe someone who bought spices from him knows.

But how can we tell who bought spices?

Meena, do you still have the empty spice bag your mom gave you?

Yes, it's right here.

Okay, if we see anyone with a spice bag like this,

we'll know that they got spices from Mr. Khan.

That's our girl. She's a genius.

And maybe he talked to them about where he's going.

Good plan, Mira.

(GASPS) I see a spice bag at the flower stand.

Let's go talk to Dhruv.

Hi, Dhruv. We're on a case and... We need to find Mr. Khan fast.

Do you know where he is? Do you have any idea?

Um... I don't.

Meena, let Mira handle this, please?

We noticed that you have a spice bag from his shop.

Yes, Mira. I bought some spices from him today.

Oh, that's interesting, Aunty.

Did Mr. Khan say anything about why he was closing early?

Yes, he said he was going to have a special day out with his family.

Did he say where they were going?

No, he didn't. All I know is,

He was in a big rush to get food at Mr. Puri's dhaba.

Maybe we can still catch him.

Thank you, Aunty.

Mr. Puri's dhaba,

that restaurant is one of my favorite places to investigate.

Yes, we will need to do a thorough investigation of the menu.

Meena, let Mira peddle, please.

She shouldn't bike when she's upset.

I heard that.

Hello, girls. What can I do for you?

We're on a new case, Uncle. We're looking for Mr. Khan.

Oh, really? He was just here.

Ugh! We missed him again.

He wasn't here long. He ordered some food and took it on the go.

He was in such a hurry, he left behind one of the food bags.

Don't worry, Uncle. We won't let any of your delicious food go to waste.

Did he say where he was headed?

Yes, the kite shop.

Great. We can bring him his food. Right, guys?

Sure, Mira. Wasn't where I was going with that, but okay.

Thank you, Mira. Good luck finding Mr. Khan.

MEENA: We can't miss him again. We need that cinnamon sugar.

Hurry!

Wait here, guys. And keep an eye out.

Yes, we will guard the food. With our lives.

She meant, keep an eye out for Mr. Khan. In case we meet him here.

Don't bother. We just missed him.

Again? This is getting ridiculous.

I asked inside. They have no idea where he went.

Did he buy a kite?

Mira, I can't think about kites right now. I need cinnamon sugar.

It could be a clue, Meena.

Yes, he bought a kite but they don't know where he went.

Should've got that cinnamon sugar before I got all those gifts.

Then we wouldn't have this problem.

You wanted to do something for your father, Meena.

I think he'll really like the stuff you got.

No one can pick out gifts like you can.

But we can't keep running all over town looking for Mr. Khan.

Papa's gonna be home soon. We need to decorate and cook.

There must be a way to find him and still have time to get ready for the party.

Let's think this through.

We know Mr. Khan is having a special day out with his family.

He picked up some food to go and then bought a kite.

What would a family do together where they bring food and a kite?

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Have a picnic!

MIRA: Exactly. And where is the perfect place to have a picnic and fly kites?

ALL The park!

Right. Let's see if we can find him there.

I really hope he's there.

(BOY CHUCKLING)

Release more string, beta.

(CHUCKLES) That's it.

There he is. ALL: Yes!

MIRA: Mr. Khan, we're so happy we found you.

Hello, girls. What can I do for you?

I really need to get your special cinnamon sugar.

I'm making laddus for my papa.

Sounds delicious, Meena.

And you came all this way for my cinnamon sugar?

We sure did. Yours is the best!

Are you going to have to go back to your shop to get it?

I know you're enjoying family time.

That is very thoughtful of you.

But I should have some extra cinnamon sugar in my bag.

I always carry some spices with me. Let me check.

Please have cinnamon sugar. Please, please, please.

Ah, here it is.

ALL: Yes! CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Yahoo!

How much do I owe you, Mr. Khan?

You came all the way here for my cinnamon sugar.

Please, accept it as a gift.

(EXCITEDLY) I've never been so happy to see a spice bag in my life!

Thank you. Thank you so much.

My pleasure, Meena.

I almost forgot. Mr. Khan, we have some food

you left behind at the dhaba.

It might be a little cold by now.

Oh, we have far too much food at the picnic already.

I'm not sure we can eat it.

Oh, but we can.

We accept the challenge.

You are most welcome to it, little friends.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Victory! (MUNCHING)

Mikku, Chikku, come on, we have to go!

Go? We're a little busy right now.

I bet Meena's going to need some taste testers for her laddus.

Say no more! You had me at "laddus".

I hear footsteps. They're coming.

Places, people! Places!

Everyone, hide!

ALL: Surprise!

(GASPS) Oh, my! What a wonderful surprise!

BOTH: Papa!

We missed you so much!

(SIGHS) I missed you too.

Welcome home, Uncle Naveen.

Oh, Mira, it's so good to see you.

Naveen, the girls made something special for you.

Laddus!

(EXCITEDLY) My favorite dessert in the entire world!

Mmm! Delicious!

And you made it with cinnamon sugar?

You know that makes it... BOTH: Extra special!

It was Meena's idea to make them, Papa.

And everyone helped me.

Especially Mira.

It was my pleasure, Meena.

Mira is an excellent helper.

And we are excellent laddu eaters. It's a gift.

Uncle Naveen, Meena and Priya wrote you a special song.

(GASPS) Oh, my!

(PLAYING TABLA)

BOTH: ♪ Aye, aye, aye, aye

♪ We missed you every day

♪ Your hugs and smile so warm

BOTH: ♪ Now we're so glad you're home

MIKKU: Fantastic! PUSHPA: Lovely. Just lovely.

Aw, girls, that was so wonderful!

Thank you, everyone.

It's so great to be back.

We're so happy you're home.

Ah, there's nothing like family time.

MIKKU: It's the best.

ALL: Aw!

(ALL LAUGHING)

MIRA: Mystery in the Sand Dunes!

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU CHEERING)

MIRA: The desert is so beautiful, isn't it, Papa?

It sure is, Mira.

And, we'll be able to explore so much more of it,

with my latest invention, The sand skipper.

NEEL: Rides pretty nicely, don't you think?

I can't wait to test it out on the sand dunes.

Prince Neel, if your sand skipper drives well on the dunes,

I will be honored to add it to the royal fleet of vehicles.

Hear that, Mikku!

We might be sitting on top of an official royal vehicle.

Sitting and snacking.

I have everything planned out.

The test should go really smoothly.

(METAL RATTLES) ALL: Whoa!

I hope.

(SAND BLOWING)

Soggy samosas.

I did not plan for this wind!

Ah, yes! It can get very windy out here.

But, it's the best way to test out the sand skipper.

We need to see if it can handle

whatever the desert throws at it.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa!

(BOTH GRUNT) (CAMEL GROANS)

MIKKU: Oh, hey, Tinku. CHIKKU: What's up, big guy?

(GROANS) MIRA: Tinku!

You came at the perfect time. We're testing out Neel's new invention.

(GROANS) Mira, can you put these flags on the dune

to mark the course, while Mikku, Chikku and I, set up the tent?

Sure thing, Papa. Come on, Tinku.

MIRA: It's hard to push the flags in deep enough,

so the wind doesn't keep... Doing that.

(METAL CLANKS) (GROANS)

(MIRA GRUNTS) (TINKU GRUNTS)

Oh, thanks, Tinku.

With your help, I'll get this course set up in no time.

Our mongoose muscle is no match for this wind. (STRUGGLING)

Give it all you've got, Chikku!

(BOTH YELL)

(TINKU GROANS)

CHIKKU: We'll take a lift. MIKKU: Thanks, Tinku.

(SAHIL GRUNTS)

Now that's the muscle we need.

How's it going here?

Thanks to Tinku, we are all set up.

Nice work, Tinku.

Yes! Now, who's ready to roll?

I am. (ALL CHEER)

All right, Prince Neel, let's see what your sand skipper's made of.

Ready! Steady! Go!

And they're off!

(TINKU GROANS) Ride that dune, baby!

MIRA AND NEEL: Whoa! (CHUCKLING)

PRINCE NEEL: All right! MIRA: Head for that flag.

(NEEL LAUGHS) MIRA: How about that one?

BOTH: Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

They're making great time.

Especially in this wind.

(WIND HOWLING) Neel, hear that?

What'd you say?

That howling means...

BOTH: Sandstorm!

Mira, Prince Neel, come back!

We need to take cover from the storm.

(BOTH GRUNTING) (WHEELS JAMMING)

(MIRA GRUNTS)

(NEEL GRUNTS)

The wind's too hard. I can't peddle into it.

MIRA: Let's make a run for it.

(SAND BLOWING)

Quick, come inside the tent.

Storms like these are common in the desert.

But we're safe in here.

We just have to wait for it to pass.

Waiting. I'm good with that.

I hope it's over soon.

Me too, Neel. (BRAYS)

(WIND BLOWING HARD)

Sounds like it's almost gone. (GRUNTS)

All right, everyone. We're all clear.

(GRUNTS)

Well, our stuff got blown around,

but otherwise, everything looks fine.

NEEL: Soggy samosas!

Where's my sand skipper? I don't see it anywhere.

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

How are you going to test it out now, Prince Neel?

(TINKU GRUNTS) Forget about testing it out,

the sand skipper's our only way home.

I don't like the sound of that.

Me neither.

Don't worry, guys. We'll find the sand skipper

and be home in no time. We're on the case.

Let's think about what the sand skipper looks like.

Well, it's got the Jalpur flag,

a comfort grip handle bar,

oh, and a really sweet bicycle horn!

Great! The more we know about the sand skipper,

the easier it'll be to find clues to where it went.

Good thinking, beti.

Neel, where did you last see it?

At the top of the dune.

Tinku, can you gather up the gear that got blown around by the storm,

while we locate the vehicle.

(GRUNTS) MIKKU: We got your back, Tinku.

CHIKKU: And your hump.

Tinku, you found the fruit basket.

If you get hungry, help yourself.

There was a fruit basket?

How did we miss that?

(GRUNTS) Aw, thanks, big guy.

You're the man, Tinku.

I mean, the camel.

Good thing there's just one sand dune to search.

Uh, Neel.

NEEL: Six more sand dunes?

Where did those come from?

The storm must have shifted the sand and created them.

Since all the flags blew away,

there's no way to tell the dunes apart.

We just need to look for clues.

The sand skipper could've blown off course

or gotten buried in the sand.

I see something.

Something shiny.

Maybe it's my sand skipper.

There's only one way to find out.

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

There it is.

(GRUNTING)

Doesn't look like it's buried too deep.

We'll help you dig it out.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Can you dig in the other direction, please?

Oopsie-oop, sorry, Uncle.

Jumping-jalebis, what do we have here?

The horn from my sand skipper.

That must have been the shiny thing we saw.

(BLOWS HORN)

Yeah, still works.

It certainly does.

If Neel's horn was buried,

maybe his sand skipper is down there too.

Let's get digging.

(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)

Slow down, guys.

Papa's right.

It doesn't take much to make the sand...

(ALL SCREAMING)

Looks like all the sand we were standing on

spilled down here with us.

Oopsies. My bad.

Ah...

I think most of it got in my hair.

So where should we look next?

Maybe the sand could help us.

Look, the wind is carrying it that way.

So, maybe,

it also moved the sand skipper.

Let's follow the sand.

Would you look at that? The sand lead us to

more sand.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting

really sick of this sand.

What we need is another clue.

Like the one you're leaning against, Chikku?

My flag.

Nice work, Chikku.

Mikku, that is how you find a clue.

So far we found the bicycle horn

and the flag from the sand skipper.

Let's check out the next dune.

Hey, we could see Tinku from here.

Yes, but can you see the fruit basket?

The sand is still blowing.

Maybe we haven't searched for enough yet.

Hmm.

If I dropped some more sand,

it blows... That way!

BOTH: (CHANTING) Follow the sand.

Follow the sand, follow the sand.

Neel, the sand skipper,

it's down there.

Nice work, Mira.

BOTH: Case closed.

MIRA: Not yet, guys.

Now we need to find a way

to get the sand skipper out of there.

So case... Not closed.

It's way down there.

Hmm. Maybe there's a footpath

we can use to get there.

MIRA: How's it going, Papa?

Not very promising.

There's a small entrance at the bottom

that we could drive the sand skipper out of.

But it would take hours for us

to walk around and get there.

Hmm. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I do believe I am.

Uh, what are you guys thinking?

We'll climb down get Neel's sand skipper

and then peddle it right on out of there.

Guys, careful, okay?

Mira...

BOTH: We got this.

(BOTH GRUNTING AND WHOOPING)

BOTH: Whee!

Ah. Made it to the sand skipper.

MIRA: Whoo-hoo! SAHIL: Excellent.

You know what this calls for?

Dance break. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah!

Let's dance. Let's do it.

Let's dance. Let's do it.

Let's dance. Mikku, Chikku!

Stop dancing!

Please.

(CREAKING)

(SCREAMING)

(CRASHING) Oh, no.

(ROCKS BREAKING)

Are you fellas okay?

We're fine, Uncle.

But the sand skipper

is just a little... Stuck.

The entrance is blocked.

How are they gonna get out now?

I'll get a rope

and pull them out.

(GRUNTING) Hold on.

It could be a bumpy ride.

MIKKU: Oh, it's bumpy, all right.

SAHIL: Moving on!

(GRUNTING)

(STRAINING) Stuck on something

I can't pull it free.

We'll help, Papa.

(ALL GRUNTING AND PANTING)

It's not working.

What we need is more muscle.

But where are we gonna find more muscle

in the middle of the desert?

There's gotta be a way.

Let's think this through.

We needed more muscle a few times today.

First, when I put out the race course flags.

Then when Papa needed help securing the tent.

And finally, when we needed to move things

after the sand storm.

I only have one idea

of someone with that kind of strength.

Tinku! (GRUNTS)

Great thinking, Mira.

(WHISTLES) Tinku!

Over here.

(PANTING)

Tinku, can you lend us some muscle?

(GRUNTS EXCITEDLY)

You can use this fabric, and some rope...

(SAHIL GRUNTING)

There! Tinku, you're ready for action.

(GRUNTS)

Hang on tight, guys.

Ready, steady, pull.

(ALL GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING) SAHIL: Come on, Tinku.

(ALL STRAINING)

(ALL CHEERING)

So glad to have you guys back.

Thank you, Tinku.

(GRUNTS)

Safe and sound.

Now the case is closed.

MIRA: Then let's head home.

Things didn't exactly go as planned.

But I'm happy we have our ride now.

It's amazing, Neel.

Your sand skipper fell down

to the bottom of a sand pit

and it's riding perfectly.

And we're making excellent time too.

Prince Neel,

because your sand skipper performed so well,

it would be an honor

to add it to the royal fleet.

Hear that Mikku and Chikku, it's official.

Neel, the sand skipper is great and all...

But we're team Tinku.

Race you back.

(TINKU GRUNTS)

BOTH: Too fast, too fast. Too fast!
