- 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.

- [Children] Wordsville!

- Happy friendiversary, Gabby.

- Happy friendiversary to you, Sly.

I can't wait to celebrate being best friends together at the park!

- The park?

I wanna celebrate with cupcakes and comics.

- Wait, why are we disagreeing on the one day a year we celebrate our friendship?

- Look, Firefighter Ember's calling.

Maybe this is connected to a word mystery.

- Word Detectives, help!

Someone took my compromise mug.

This is it.

- It says compromise, but that looks more like a bowl to me.

- No way.

The handle makes it a mug.

- Actually, it's both.

I call it a mug, but I can use it as a bowl too.

It was given to me for being good at helping friends with different ideas come to an agreement.

- That's the definition of the word compromise.

Compromise means an agreement made between people with different ideas.

- Sly, if the word compromise is missing, that's why we quarreled.

- We didn't quarrel, we disagreed.

- Those words mean the same thing.

They're the opposite of compromise.

- So now we're being uncompromising by not changing our minds.

- But the biggest problem by far is that without my mug, I have nothing for drinking hot chocolate!

- We need to get you a cup asap.

- No, we need to solve this case asap!

Firefighter Ember, tell us what happened so Sly can animate it.

- [Sly] Let's recap!

- [Firefighter Ember] I had a very busy day planned.

I promised to bake cookies with Baker Graham at two and do a fire safety demonstration for Reporter Read's news report also at two.

Neither of them was happy that I made plans with both of them at the same time.

I suggested we think up a compromise on how we could help them both, over a nice mug of hot chocolate.

But when I finished making it, both of them and my mug were gone!

And in its place I found this.

- I'll save the scene of the mystery screenshot for our case notes.

- Don't worry Firefighter Ember, we'll solve this case.

Let's get through our case notes without disagreeing.

- [Sly] So far we know what happened.

Someone took Firefighter Ember's compromise mug and now everyone is uncompromising and stubborn.

- [Gabby] We know where it happened.

The fire station when Firefighter Ember was busy making hot chocolate.

- [Sly] The scene of the mystery clues are a cookie cutter and a microphone.

- [Gabby] And the suspects are Baker Graham and Reporter Read.

- I'm sure Baker Graham did it.

- I think it was Reporter Read.

- We have to interview them both to figure out who did it, how, and why.

- Which suspect should we call first?

- Baker Graham!

- Reporter Read!

- Let's decide by playing rock, paper, scissors.

- [Both] Rock, paper, scissors.

- Scissors!

Rock beats scissors.

So I guess we'll start by interviewing Baker Graham.

- Word Detectives, sorry, can't talk right now.

My customers all want cookies and my cookie cutter is missing.

They won't take no for an answer.

- Hmm.

Sounds like they're being uncompromising.

- I think his customers just know what they like.

- [sighs] I wish we weren't arguing on our friendiversary.

- Baker Graham, can you tell us why you were at the fire station?

- Firefighter Ember promised me we'd made cookies together, but Reporter Read showed up saying she had plans with Firefighter Ember at the exact same time!

- You sound frustrated by that.

- I am!

Firefighter Ember said we should come up with a compromise to fit in both activities but I was not interested in changing my plans.

So when she went to make hot chocolate, I left, just like I need to do now.

- Baker Graham definitely did it.

He wasn't interested in compromising.

- I still think it was Reporter Read.

It's time we interviewed her.

- You okay, Reporter Read?

- Firefighter Ember was supposed to do a fire safety demonstration for my news report, but apparently she'd rather bake so I have to do it myself!

But I've misplaced my microphone and- - Your fire helmet is on backwards.

- [groans] Do you need something?

- To know what happened at the fire station today.

- Like I said, I needed Firefighter Ember to help me with my news report.

But when I got there, Baker Graham was already there!

- Did that bother you?

- Of course it did!

I made plans with my friend and she made plans with someone else.

She wanted us to compromise on what to do next, but she wasn't willing to give me her full focus.

So I decided to go, which is what I'm going to do now.

- Reporter Read definitely did it.

- I still think Baker Graham did it.

- Well, if we can't agree or compromise, maybe reviewing the case notes will help.

- [Sly] Both suspects left clues behind.

That must be Baker Graham's cookie cutter.

- [Gabby] And that's Reporter Read's microphone.

- They were both upset Firefighter Ember made plans with them at the same time.

- [Gabby] And they were both unwilling to compromise with Firefighter Ember.

[both gasp] - [Both] But did they compromise with each other?

- Great minds think alike.

Let's reenact it.

- Now presenting the word mystery animated reenactment of The Case of the Uncompromising Community.

- Baker Graham, you're here.

And Reporter Read, you're here too.

- I am!

It's two and fire safety demonstrations wait for no one.

- Of course!

I was just- - About to bake cookies with me.

- But she made plans to do a demonstration for me!

- I may have accidentally made plans with both of you, but I'm sure we can find a compromise over some delicious hot chocolate.

- I don't wanna compromise!

- I don't wanna compromise either.

My plans with my friends are important to me.

- Mine too!

- Let's steal her mug so we don't need to compromise just because Firefighter Ember made plans with both of us.

- Even though Sly and I didn't agree on who we thought did it- - We were both right.

It was Baker Grant and Reporter Read.

- Both of you?

- They took the compromise mug together when Firefighter Ember was making hot chocolate.

- That's how!

- They were upset Firefighter Ember made plans with both of them.

- And they didn't wanna find a compromise on what to do next.

- That's why they did it.

- It's true.

We did it.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorrier!

- I'm sorriest!

- Can you stop disagreeing so I can get my mug back?

Finally, we can sit down with some hot chocolate and find compromises for everyone.

- Well, a kitchen is a good place to do a fire safety demonstration.

- And the more cooks, the more cookies!

- Are you suggesting we compromise and do both activities together?

- We are!

- We are!

- [All] Thanks Word Detectives!

- Another word mystery solved even without us agreeing along the way.

- Now that's friendship.

You ready to start celebrating our friendiversary?

- Only if we celebrate with scrumptious cupcakes and comics!

- Which we can read and eat in the park picnic style.

- [Both] A perfect compromise.
