What's cooking, cats and kittens?
I'm glad you came by, because today our good friend Pete
is baking cupcakes
and he's going to have more than just batter on his paws.
Making bodacious, bright blue blueberry cupcakes
for Dennis' birthday was a great idea, Pete.
I loved the idea SO much,
that I crafted this cookbook/ blueprint/guidebook/
illustrated recipe... (EXHALES)
Let's get started.
Step 1A, get the mixing bowls.

Spotless!
Okay, let's take these bodacious bright blue blueberry cupcakes
to Dennis' party.
(CALLIE GASPS) Someone...someone...
I believe that the phrase Callie was looking for was,
someone stole the cupcakes.
Who could have taken our cupcakes?
And why? And how?
This is a crime scene! We have to investigate.
The same way that Catalina investigates
in her mystery series,
'Catalina Case-Solver, Musical Detective.'
♪ Gotta look here, gotta look there ♪
♪ We're all in formation ♪
♪ Cat detective, at your service ♪
♪ Consider this job done ♪
You can be Catalina Case-Solver's partner.
Detective Cattenburg Von Yarnravler.
NEVILLE: Pete loved to pretend.
Especially pretending to be Ace Detective
Cattenberg Von Yarnravler.
(CALLIE GASPS) I see crumbs!
Look, Yarnravler, the crumbs lead outside.
These footprints should lead us to the cupcake thief.
Come on, Pete! Oh, I mean...
Detective Cattenburg Von Yarnravler.
NEVILLE: Pete wanted to keep playing detective,
but he also wanted to head back to the kitchen
and bake more cupcakes.
They still had time to make a new batch for Dennis,
but before he could say a word,
Callie was already on the case.
(CALLIE GASPS)
Sally the squirrel!
Sally must have taken the cupcakes, Pete.
Pete and Callie! I'm so glad you're here.
Double glad. Triple glad.
Quadruple glad.
Ooh, what's bigger than quadruple.
Five-sinkle!
Anyway, I need to confess something to both of you.
I confess...
Yes...
I can't decide which acorn
Dennis would like better for his birthday.
Isn't there anything else you want to confess?
Like...
Like taking our bodacious bright blue
blueberry cupcakes without asking?
Without ASKING?
That's horrible. That's the worst.
That's uh...wait.
Why would you think I did that?
Oh, right...but look!
My foot is too small to make a track like this.
Sally's right! (GASP) She's innocent.
Those footprints could only belong to...
(GASP) A bigger foot.
Or a cupcake monster.
Or two one-footed cupcake monsters.
NEVILLE: Well the cupcake thief wasn't Sally.
Figuring it would remain a mystery, Pete suggested
they go back and make a new batch of cupcakes.
Okay, I'll help you.
I'll help you bring the cupcake thief to justice!
I've never collected evidence
but now I want an evidence collection.
Collect ALL the evidence.
Come on, Pete! The cupcake thief is still out there somewhere,
We need Cattenburg Von Yarnravler on the case.
Since I'm Catalina Case-Solver, you can be Skipper,
the plucky newsgirl
who sometimes helps Catalina solve crimes.
Skipper, awesome!
She's in a fourteen-way tie for my favorite character EVER.
Look! Blue fingerprints!
(SALLY GASPS) They're the same blue, Chief.
The cupcakes were blue, so whoever touched them
left these prints.
We'll catch them blue-handed.
NEVILLE: While Sally and Callie compared clues,
Pete saw his good friend, Emma the Pug, down the street.
Bonjour, Pete. Comment ca va?
Just so-so? C'est dommage.
Why just so-so?
(CALLIE GASPS) - Emma's fingers.
(CALLIE & SALLY) They're blue!
Emma IS the cupcake thief!
Cupcake thief, moi? Never!
The only thing I would steal
is your pre-conceived notions of art.
But our blue cupcakes were stolen
and your fingers are blue.
Ah! My fingers are blue because I am painting a portrait
for Dennis' birthday gift.
The ocean needs as much blue as if I were to paint
the physical manifestation of rhapsody itself.
Well, that means only one thing.
Really? Cause I have no idea what it means.
The culprit is still on the loose
and it's up to us to bring the thief to JUSTICE!
Come on, Emma. You can pretend to be Flambé,
the crime-solving pastry-chef who taught Catalina the ropes.
Oh, oui! I love this show.
Hi Wilson.
Well, if it isn't Callie, Sally, Emma and Pete the Bat.
What are you doing on this strangely bright evening?
We're collecting evidence.
Some thief stole Callie and Pete's blueberry cupcakes.
Have you seen a cupcake thief?
Ha! A cupcake thief?
(LAUGHS) Such jibber-jabber.
There is no such thing as a cupcake thief.
But someone stole our cupcakes.
Oh! I thought you meant a cup was stealing cakes.
A cup cake thief.
Well how could a cup steal, hmmm?
They don't have arms, or legs,
or even evil mustaches to burgle with, eh?
Hmmm? Huh?
(GROAN) Did you hear that?
(MORE GROANING) Ughh...my stomach!
Wait a sec...bushes can't moan.
And they don't have stomachs either.
But the evidence leads right to it.
(GROANING) Oh, my tummy hurts.
Grumpy! You're the cupcake thief?
Is that why your tummy hurts?
Or does it ache...from guilt?
(NERVOUS TITTER) I'll talk! I'll tell you everything.
(GROANS) Oh, it started when I was wrapping
Dennis' birthday gift.
I started smelling something good
and the next thing I knew, my nose was leading me towards...
..the best-smelling things I've ever smelt.
Y'know, because I usually only smell things like
swamp flies and marsh flies,
wetland flies and bog-gas...
Anyway...(clears throat)
I thought I should taste those cupcakes.
I figured one little taste couldn't hurt.
But then a nibble led to a chew,
which led to a bite, a bite to a chomp,
a chomp to a munch and the next thing I knew...
I'd eaten them all!
I ate Dennis' birthday gift!
I'm the worst friend ever!
I can't say sorry loud enough, watch.
(DRAWS DEEP BREATH) I'M SORRY!
(DRAMATIC VOICE) I'M SORRY!
(WAILING) I'M SORRY!
(SOBBING) You forgive me?
NEVILLE: Pete knows we all make mistakes, so there was no point
in making Grumpy feel bad for it.
The important thing was Dennis' birthday.
Oh, thanks guys. I really am sorry.
But...what can I do?
NEVILLE: Pete didn't have to be a detective to figure out...
Sometimes, when a friend does something wrong,
the best thing to do,
is just be kind.
Well, do you know how to make cupcakes, Grumpy?
I don't...but I could learn.

Hey guys! Thanks for coming to my party!
And thanks for these cupcakes.
Who made them?
Let's just say...it's a mystery.
Come on, guys! Let's party!
NEVILLE: Well since the gang gave the gift together,
it made it extra special.
And since the mystery of the missing cupcakes was solved,
Pete the Cat was happy to do what he does best.
Party...down.

I want to keep playing too but we're out of time.
NEVILLE: Yeah, we've all had days like this.
You're having so much fun,
you just don't want the day to end.
About time for dinner, kids.
Oh, why the long faces?
We want to keep playing, but we have to stop for dinner.
NEVILLE: And that's when it hit Pete.
Maybe they could keep having fun together
with a sleepover.
A sleepover?
Good idea!
Well, I don't see why not. Okay.
- Yes! - Bon!
Alright, alright. I'm going to call your folks.
And you kids run on home

Goodnight kids!
(ALL) Goodnight Mrs. Pete the Cat's Mom.
(WHISPERS) I'm not sleepy.
- Me neither. - Nor I.
I'll help you. First, just close your eyes.
(IN GENTLE VOICE) And one, two,
three...sleep!
(EMMA SIGHS) Mais oui, this did not help.
Wait. I know what'll help.
Oooh, what's that?
Pillow fight.

NEVILLE: He, he. It's hard to resist a pillow fight.
Sshh....(GIGGLING)

(SALLY CAN'T STOP GIGGLING)
Everything okay out here?
ALL: Yes, Mrs. Pete the Cat's Mom.
Okay, goodnight love.
Goodnight kids.
We'll try to get to sleep now Pete.
Grumpy's right. Eyes shut.
SALLY: They're all shut. EMMA: I'm making them shut.
NEVILLE: But sleeping isn't as easy
as just shutting your eyes now is it?
I know we're supposed to be sleeping and everything,
but closing my eyes
makes me think of Hide and Seek, NOT IT!
- Not it! - It is not me!
(SALLY GIGGLES)
You're it, Pete!
Pete always says, if you can't beat 'em,
play Hide and Seek with 'em
Ah, I knew this was a terrible spot.
(SALLY GIGGLING)
I am invisible.
CALLIE: I win!
We did it AGAIN!
Or I guess we didn't do it. Go to sleep, I mean.
Mais oui, we must sleep!
So how can we relax?
You could sing a lullaby, Callie.
Lullaby? We're not babies.
Oh! I know a song. And it's not a lullaby.

No one can sleep, huh?
You know, I recall a certain blue kitten
who had trouble falling asleep.
What was it that made you fall asleep?
(MUM LAUGHS) Goodnight!
ALL SING LOUDLY: ♪ This song is not a lullaby ♪
Sorry! We're supposed to be asleep.
I guess we're just too excited.
But how can we all fall asleep?
NEVILLE: Like a lot of us,
Pete the Cat liked a good story at bedtime.
A story? Great idea.
Stories always help me sleep.
SALLY: Yay! EMMA: Magnifique!
Wait. Are you going to read THAT book?
I like stories about water-skeeters.
Ooh. I like stories with acorns.
Lots and lots of acorns!
Acorns are cool.
But I like self-help books about organizing.
It could be a story about water-skeeters
who are organizing acorns?
For me, I like to hear a few pages
from 'Remembrance of Things Past'.
(NEVILLE LAUGHS)
That's a book grown-ups sometimes read to fall asleep.
Hey kids, how is it going?
(GRUMPY GASPS) Were we loud?
Oh, I'm always loud.
Pete was going to read us a story.
But we all want different stories.
What if you make up your own story.
I LOVE it! So creative.
But...what's it about?
Well, that's up to you. I'll give you a title.
How about, 'The King Who Couldn't Sleep'.
Ooh. Good idea.
You each make up your own chapter
about helping the King to sleep.
Hmm, Grumpy. Would you like to start?
Sure! I'd love to...
I mean, yeah. Okay.
Alright. Goodnight, kids.
ALL: Goodnight Mrs. Pete the Cat's Mom.
(CLEARS THROAT) The King who couldn't sleep.
Once upon a time,
there was a handsome but misunderstood Toad King.
And he couldn't sleep.
See, he would normally just count water-skeeters
sliding across a pond in his mind.
One skater...
Two skaters...
Three...(yawns)
So...so...
You better...
Okay, my turn.
So the Toad King asked the Royal Efficiency Expert for help.
She said he should clear his mind
by writing down what he has to do.
Number one, rule the kingdom.
Two, go riding in the forest.
Three...
(YAWNS)
The Toad King turned to...
..a visiting Pug Princess.
She sang for him the sweet lullaby
that they sing in her homeland.
♪ We sing this night a song of sadness, oh... ♪
Ooh, my turn! My turn!
So, when the Pug Princess' song didn't work,
the King turned to his squirrel Squire,
who was in charge of his vast stores of acorns.
She made a nice acorn tea that...
Mmmm, acorns.
(SNORING)
NEVILLE: Pete's Mom came through.
Her story idea got all the kids to sleep.
So, what would Pete do?
That's right. A good bedtime story
always put him to sleep.
He had his favorite right there.
