-Wicked tune.

-Ya, man. Crucial jammin', guys.

'Rastamouse, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

'Message from President Wensley Dale - me got a musical emergency.'

Look like we're needed by the Prez. Easy Crew, let's go.

Oh, Easy Crew. Me glad that you came cos me got a problem here.

Me been waiting to hear the new Sugarmice tune,

but them girls them not send nothing through.

Me spoke to RT just yesterday and him

promised they'd write another hit to celebrate Mouseland's Music Day.

But that's tomorrow and me still not listen to it.

That's strange. RT's always so organised.

No worries, Mr President.

The Easy Crew is on the case.

Zoomer, Scratchy, we're off to RT's studio. And Rapid.

Wa'gwan, RT?

The President's waiting for the latest

song from the Sugarmice for Mouseland Music Day.

-Him not the only one waiting.

-Wa? Wa'gwan, RT?

I'm sorry, Easy Crew,

but there's not going to be another Sugarmice track.

-No Sugarmice track?

-Ever?

That's right. The Sugarmice band is no more.

-But them have skills.

-It's true.

RT, can you tell us what happened?

Eh, no. Well, I don't know myself.

They just told me that them no want to be in a band together no more.

Dat's strange.

RT, do you tink we might go and talk to all three of them mice?

Sure, I'm hoping you can find out wa'gwan.

-Yeah, no worry yourself, RT.

-Yeah, the Easy Crew are on the case.

Rastamouse, Zoomer, follow me.

-Where we going, Scratchy?

-We're heading to the beach.

-Of course.

-That's where them girls normally hang out.

-Cool idea, Scratchy.

-Yo, Crystal.

-Hey, Scratchy. Can me get you guys a drink?

Ah, me would love a proper refreshing ginger beer.

-Zoomer, we're on a case!

-A case? That sound exciting.

Me would love to have a job investigating tings, like you guys.

Me thought you already had a job, playing in a band?

Used to have a job playing in a band. Now, me workin' here with Stylie.

Crystal, you can't give up.

But the other girls, them...

You know, me just need to try a different job.

Crystal, that no' right.

Scratchy, me tink it's time to shift.

-But what about that drink?

-Maybe another time.

Crystal, have you seen Marigold recently?

She'll be with Jimmy H, hanging out in him yard.

OK. Come on, Crew.

You tink it's true Crystal not want to play music any more?

Me suspect that there's three sides to this mystery.

And we need to hear them all.

-Yo, guys!

-Wa'gwan, Marigold? Jimmy?

-Yo, Easy Crew.

-Dat tune sounds wicked!

-It's me new track.

Cool, the President's hoping to hear that new Sugarmice tune real soon.

This not a Sugarmice tune.

Me left the Sugarmice.

Oh, man, that is a shame.

-You three mice were so good together.

-Ya tink so?

Me going to be better on me own. Me going solo.

Now, time for me to get meself a new outfit to match this new song.

-And, Jimmy, keep rehearsing that riff.

-Oh.

-You OK, Jimmy?

-Oh, yeah.

Me is getting to work with Marigold

from the Sugarmice, that's real cool.

Which get me thinking. Do you know where we might find Sharday?

M'heard she been hanging out at Missy D's dance studio.

Cool, Easy Crew. Let's shift.

-Whoa, cool moves.

-Exactly!

You never see them moves in the Sugarmice.

Is dat right?

Cos we was wanting to ask you about that.

-Ya see, we're hearing that you left the band.

-That's correct.

And me wondering why you would choose to do that.

Well, me no sure me choose anything, but me happy now.

Me wanted to try out a few of me own ideas.

Even if that mean that RT's got no track to give to the President?

-Marigold said nuttin 'bout any track for the President.

-Hmm.

Now that is strange.

Besides, me not tink the Sugarmice could get anything

-recorded for Wensley Dale.

-Why?

-Well...maybe him should just ask you guys for the tune.

-Interesting.

Easy Crew, we're going to leave Sharday

-and Missy B to their dancing.

-Laters.

-Rastamouse, me can't work this out.

-Me neither.

You think we should head back to Nuff Song and work on a track?

Or maybe we should have one more chat with RT first.

-Yo, RT.

-Hey, Easy Crew, did you find the Sugarmice?

-We did, but me is a little confused.

-Oh.

Now did you know Crystal wants to give up playing music altogether?

Why would she think that?

And did you know that Sharday want to try

new dance moves for de band?

No, Marigold said she was happy doin' things the usual way.

-Marigold? You no' speak to Sharday herself?

-Nope.

Scratchy, maybe I should've spoke to all of them,

but the ting is, I just didn't find time to chat.

And I guess things got real bad.

Them girls never even want to speak about

any problem or ting that them had.

-Hmm, it might be the end of the road for the Sugarmice.

-Dat is dread.

-But me not so sure. RT, can me borrow your phone?

-Sure.

Greetings. Ah, Rastamouse. You spoke to them, good. Oh, dat is dread.

But... Oh, you tink so? OK, that plan did sound proper, Rastamouse.

Good luck.

What we going to do, Rastamouse?

You head back to Stylie's Beach Cafe and get yourself a cool drink.

RT, go and tell Marigold you want to listen to her new track.

-Maybe suggest you have a chat at Stylie's.

-Safe.

And, Scratchy, you go and find Sharday.

-Tell her you want to see more of her moves.

-At Stylie's Beach Cafe?

-That's right.

-Genius.

-Cool.

Me tink it's time to make a bad ting good

by having a Sugarmice band meeting.

-Do you want that ginger beer now?

-Go on, then, just a little one.

Cool, you're not needed at the studio?

-No, Rastamouse told me to wait here with you.

-Why?

-Well, because, well me not sure.

-Marigold, Sharday?

-Oh, RT.

-What we doing here?

-Scratchy, we could go somewhere else?

-I'm feeling a little uncomfortable.

-Me too.

-Me got important things to do.

-But girls, I need to chat.

-Why?

You're supposed to be writing a song for the President.

I'm disappointed we're going to let Wensley Dale down.

That song would be rubbish. So me working on me own tune.

But you never told us anything about any song for the Prez.

-The Sugarmice, them over.

-Because you're always doing your own ting.

You're not like me, trying something fresh.

-Them ideas just not good.

-Ha-ha, how would you know?

-See?

We're never going to get a new song from any mouse.

-Because we spend all the time shouting and arguing.

-Arguing, me?

-Me don't argue.

-Can we stop all the noise?

-You're going to scare off the customers.

-Thank you, Crystal.

Me gotta say, guys,

me not too impressed cos you're arguing about what

you tink's wrong, instead of listening

and working together to write that new Sugarmice song.

Now then, me suggest you all have a chat.

SUGARMICE ARGUE OVER EACH OTHER

Oh, how about one mouse at a time?

-You tink you might try that?

-ALL: Yes.

Now then, Crystal, can you tell us wa'gwan with you?

Me know that me seem proper quiet and shy,

but that not mean me got nothin' to say.

You girls just need to try and listen and ting cos me

got ideas for dem tunes that we play.

Me sorry, it's just that me mega ambitious and me

wanna get lots of things done. We not have no time for all your chat.

Cos being in a band can't always be fun.

Me have lots of ideas for banging new moves to bust

when we play, jam and sing.

But Marigold, you just never listen. You just wanna do your own ting.

-Why? Me wish you had spoken to each other earlier.

-Oh, me too.

Me just want the band to be perfect and that's why me

start all the fights, but me need to take time just to listen.

Cos me know that me not always right.

You tink both of you would consider coming back if me

-promised to listen more and try out new things?

-Ah, of course.

- Me never wanted to leave the band. - Easy Crew, I gotta thank you.

I was sure those girl would never play together again.

That not a problem, RT.

Me think the President is waiting to hear a new track.

-Sugarmice, are you ready?

-Sure.

-Of course.

# Two wrongs don't make a right

# You say this, I say that

# Then we fight

# We gotta work it out We gotta stick together

# We gotta make it better

-# Top notch, shout

-Never give up, never give up. #

-That new Sugarmice tune's bangin'.

-You know what I'm sayin'?
