- Did a word that's important to you go missing?

- And now all you can feel, do, or think is the opposite of that word?

- Then call us!

I'm Sly.

- And I'm Gabby.

We're word detectives and we solve... - [Both] Word mysteries!

- Together, we run the Wordsville Online Detective Agency.

- We'll find your missing word fast.

- Not to mention briskly.

- And swiftly.

- Yeah, we're really good with words.

- [Kids] Wordsville!

(phone ringing) - Sly, why are you still awake?

- I don't know.

I tried counting sheep, sheepdogs, regular dogs, but I still couldn't sleep, so I got up and called you.

- I couldn't sleep either.

Do you think this is a word mystery?

(phone ringing) - Maybe artist Clay knows.

If we can't sleep, we might as well sleuth.

- Word detectives, I need your help.

Someone stole my sleep mask.

Look.

- Huh, it says slumber.

Slumber is another word for sleep.

(messages beeping) Uh oh.

I'm getting messages from the whole town.

- Me too!

It looks like everyone in Wordsville is awake.

- Please hurry.

An artistic genius such as myself needs slumber to be creative the next day.

- I know, why don't we combine this word mystery with a virtual slumber party.

- How could anyone slumber and party at the same time?

- Well, you don't really slumber at a slumber party.

It's another word for sleepover.

- You know, when you go to a friend's house and try not to sleep.

- That way you can stay up as late as possible, having tons of fun.

- There's nothing more fun than solving a word mystery.

- I hope this slumber party's a short one.

- Tell us exactly what happened and Sly will animate it.

- [Sly] Recap time.

- I was putting away my art supplies when vet Wilder came by to request I make a sculpture of his gerbil for the clinic.

Then, singer Melody arrived to ask if I'd help her finish a new song she'd promised to release to all her fans tomorrow.

But I was sleepy, so I said I couldn't help either of them since it was bedtime.

I went to brush my teeth and when I got back they were both gone.

And, so was my slumber mask!

And in its place I found a tuft of fur, and a crumpled piece of paper.

- I'm taking screen shots for our case notes.

Good to go, Gabby?

- Don't worry, artist Clay, we'll solve this case in the blink of an eye.

- That means we'll solve it fast.

- I hope so.

- Time to start our case notes.

- We know what happened.

Someone took artist Clay's slumber mask.

- Now everyone in Wordsville is awake, which is the opposite of slumber.

- We also know where it happened, the art studio.

And, it happened when artist Clay was brushing his teeth.

- [Sly] The clues are, some fur and a crumpled piece of paper.

- [Gabby] Our suspects are vet Wilder and singer Melody.

- And they can also be our virtual slumber party guests.

- But, we can't forget to find out who did it, how, and why.

Now let's-- - Stay up all night and party?

I mean, interview our suspects.

(animals calling) What's going on?

- No matter how tired they are, and how many lullabies I sing them, my animals are unable to doze off.

- Even the animals can't sleep.

This is worse than I thought.

- Vet Wilder, what were you doing at the art studio earlier?

- I asked artist Clay for a sculpture of my gorgeous gerbil, Tango, to decorate the clinic.

I put her on the table to show how good she is at staying still.

You wanna see?

- Aw, she is gorgeous.

- Artist Clay said it was time to get ready for bed.

So I asked if he could stay up late because I really wanted that sculpture.

But, he still said no.

So we went home to get ready for bed, but we can't sleep.

(dog barking) And neither can any of my other pets.

They're not getting the rest they need.

Gotta go.

- Time to put our thinking caps on.

Every party needs a hat.

- Fine.

Let's recap.

- Vet Wilder wanted artist Clay to stay up and make him the sculpture.

- And Tango the gerbil was right next to the sleep mask.

Suspicious.

- But before we draw any conclusions, we have to talk to singer Melody.

- Hey, word detectives.

What's with the party hats?

- We're solving a word mystery and having a virtual slumber party.

- You know what would make our party even better?

Hearing your new song.

- I'd love to play it.

But first I need to... ♪ Complete it ♪ - And we need to complete this case.

What were you doing at the art studio?

- I ran out of ideas from my new song, which I promised my fans I would release tomorrow.

So I went to ask artist Clay for help.

- But he told you he couldn't help because he needed to sleep.

- I thought I could convince him by singing what I had so far, but it didn't work.

So, I scrunched up the lyrics and threw them away.

- What did you do after that?

- I came back here to keep working on my song.

My fans are counting on me.

And I've been working on it all night, and will stay up until morning if I have to.

♪ So gotta go ♪ - Singer Melody was also near the table since that's where her crumpled up lyrics landed.

- Now that we have all the facts, it's time to party.

With the case notes.

- [Gabby] Both suspects had a reason to take the sleep mask.

- Vet Wilder wanted artist Clay to do the sculpture.

- And singer Melody needed his help to finish her song.

- [Sly] They also both left clues, the fur from Tango the gerbil.

- [Gabby] And the crumpled paper with the lyrics that Singer Melody threw away.

- Lyrics for the song she's still working on.

- And is willing to keep working on until the morning.

(gasps) Sly, you thinking what I'm thinking?

- This party needs snacks?

Oh, you're thinking it's time to solve this word mystery.

Let's do it!

Now presenting the word mystery animated reenactment of The Case of the Stolen Slumber.

Hi, artist Clay, would you make me a sculpture of Tango for the clinic?

Sorry, but, I'm sleepy.

It's time for me to get ready for bed.

Could you stay up just this once?

- [Gabby] Oh, artist Clay, you're awake.

I have to finish my new song.

Will you help me... ♪ Complete it ♪ - [Sly] It's bedtime.

I'm going to brush my teeth and slumber.

- [Gabby] Just listen to what I've got so far.

♪ Creation is ♪ - [Sly] I guess we should go, Tango.

- I just need to finish my song.

Singer Melody is who did it.

- She did it when artist Clay went to brush his teeth, and after vet Wilder left.

- That's how she did it.

She wanted to stay awake so she could finish her song.

- That's why!

Another word mystery put to bed.

(horns blowing) - I just wanted to borrow it for a little bit.

I figured everyone would understand when they heard my fantastic new song, which still isn't done.

♪ I'm sorry ♪ - I get it.

But you shouldn't have taken my mask without asking.

- I promise I'll bring it back right away so you can all sleep.

- Finally.

(phone ringing) (all yawning) - Now that our sleuthing slumber party is over, is everyone ready for some actual slumber?

- Yes.

But with all that extra awake time, I had time to sketch this.

Tango is so inspiring.

I'll start the sculpture in the morning.

- Tango and I thank you, shh.

- I wish I could stay to finish my song, but I'm too...

Tired.

- Sometimes the best thing to do when you're stuck is to take a break from it.

Have a quick nap.

I'm sure your fans will understand, don't you think, word detectives?

(soft music) - [Both] Thanks, word detectives.
