-That's better.

-You can't go round like that all day.

Let's search for some clues.

It was in me wardrobe yesterday.

But it wasn't in me wardrobe today.

-Me think some thief has taken it. Look!

-The thief's footprints!

-And something else!

-A locket on a chain?

-Hmm...

Me think we need to pay Missy D a visit.

Yo, brother, have you seen Missy D?

She took them little ones for some fashion-styling fun.

Trust me, that lucky locket mean she not gonna be outdone.

But she not got your chain no more, brother.

Me not sure, but me wanna talk to her.

But the President's tie was stolen! Missy D have no use for that!

Me agree, but me still gotta find out who thief it.

When me went off for me rest, you know, me must say, me confess

that me favourite bling is missing, and me best string vest.

Maybe your things were theived too, Bagga?

ALL CHATTER

That's right. This is me design for the fashion show.

What colour? Me thought it would be a lovely blue colour.

Sorta like the blue in the President's tie.

Cover everything up.

Rastamouse! You was right about me getting inspiration.

Now me got a wicked idea for the fashion show.

Me not come to chat about fashion. We on a most important case.

Cos we found your borrowed locket on the floor at the President's place.

Me not have that locket. Me think me lost it.

-We you not tell Bagga T you lost it?

-Cos me embarrassed.

Me got so excited that me finally got an idea for me outfit.

Me forget all about it. Went clear out of me head.

Well, maybe you never lose it. Maybe someone thief it from you.

Hmm, a missing tie, a missing chain, what's going on?

-Yo, Rastamouse!

-Yo, Bandulu!

Me wanted to tell you that's not all that's missing.

Me went to cook the orphans breakfast

and me crucial chef hat was gone! Me must've mislaid it.

-Or it been stolen. Look!

A backstage pass to the fashion show.

Someone taken all them different bits of clothing.

-Bandulu's hat.

-Bagga's vest and bling.

-Missy's chain.

-And the President's blue tie.

-What we gonna do?

-This thief can't resist taking clothes and bling.

-The spray can?

And what's more, me know where it come from.

Hmm, me recognise this. It's one of me spray paints

from the bodywork shop. Them cost nuff-nuff cash, you know?

When did it go missing?

Oh, let me see? It were there when me had me lunch,

it were there when me saw Natty Cass. Her car got wet in the rain.

-And she want it spotless for the fashion show.

-Hmm...

THUNDER RUMBLES

-No worry yourself.

Me thinking the thief won't be wanting it to rain either.

BUZZ OF EXCITEMENT

Thanks! The rain gave me the idea.

Extra crucial. But we still got one more competitor. This is Natty Cass.

ALL GASP

Me like that. You can't take your eyes off me outfit.

Natty always captivate the crowd.

The mice aren't looking cos they impressed.

There must be some mistake!

Natty put me to the test, swiped me best bling and me vest.

I must say it look cool, but me not impressed.

-And that's me hat!

-And that's me skirt!

And that's Bagga's bling hanging from her belt!

-Ohh...

What have you got to say for yourself?

When that storm and thunder start rumbling

and the rain came down upon me car,
