Announcer: We now return to Celebrity Mole: Blue's Clues.
Blue: (barking) It's about time! It's only been what --- nearly nine months?
Agent0042: Hey, well, I'm a busy guy.
Blue: (barking) Yeah, well, that's no excuse.
Agent0042: All right! All right! (resumes announcer voice) When we left off, the players had just received a mysterious note. They had been left to themselves, unaware that a new game was already beginning...
Paprika: So, find any clues?
Tickety: (rings her alarm bells) Well, look over there --- it's a sequence of numbers! 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
Paprika: Tickety, that's you in the mirror!
Tickety: Oh, yeah! I guess I haven't found anything then.
Paprika: (giggles) Okay, well I've (Just then, Paprika noticed something out of the corner of her eye.) Hey, what happened to Blue?
Mr. Salt: (who just came over) Eez past your bedtime!
Paprika: Hey, no fair! Sabotage! Sabotage!
Mrs. Pepper: Now now, none of that. Off to bed, young lady.
Paprika: Ahh...
(Elsewhere, Blue finds herself in a dark, pitch-black room. She's surprised as suddenly the lights came on. She's the sole occupant in a huge movie theater.)
Blue: (barks confusedly)
(The screen flickers to life. On the screen appears an image of a rubber duck. The image flickers, flashes and disappears. A new image appears --- a bouncing number 10. The image bounces off-screen. Images continue to appear for about five minutes...)
(The program breaks for another commercial message.)
Periwinkle: (barking) Whoa! Hey yeah, check out this new doghouse! Man, this puppy has got everything! Self-loading food bowl and water dish, satellite TV, video games (Whoa, Nintendogs!) and all the Kibble I could ever want. And the best part is --- I didn't have to raise a paw to get it! Bow-wowwwww!
(Message appears on-screen --- Periwinkle: Identity Theft Victim)
Announcer: Citi Identity Theft Solutions, free with any CitiCard. Citi. Live Richly.
(The program returns. The lights go dark on Blue again. She is whisked back to the location of the other players and provided with no further info.)
Blue: (barking) Well, that was strange...
Mr. Salt: Blue! We were zo worried! Where were you?
Blue: (barking) Well...
Anderson: (over an intercom) Hello again, players. I know it's late, and it's probably past your bedtime. Why... what a perfect time for your next challenge. Now just a little earlier, certain pieces of information were conveyed to one of your fellow players. That player has now been returned to you and some, if not all of that information, could prove vital to your task. Your instructions --- are in the mailbox!
Mailbox: That's meeeeeee!
( i Joe reaches into Mailbox and pulls out the instructions. /i )
Mailbox: Heyyyy, that tickles!
Joe: "Your next task is as follows. You are to proceed..." Hey, where's Paprika?
Mr. Salt: Iz her bedtime.
Steve: Well get her out of bed, thank ya' verra much. The rules say we can't start unless all the players are present.
Announcer: Will Paprika get to participate in the next challenge? Just what task faces our players? And who will be eliminated in the first shocking execution? Find out in the next installment of "Celebrity Mole: Blues Clues" --- coming in a lot less time than it took for this installment to come --- I promise!
