At in the nearby town of Clifton Creeks, millionaire Atticus Harmon was cleaning the rugs with a vacuum in his office when he heard glass break in the billiard room. When he got in, he saw some glass on the floor and decided to pick it up. Little did he know was that someone snuck behind him and took him out with a giant paperweight.

In the afternoon, Leah, Kaylin, Estrella, Rylie, Tania, and Paige were celebrating their last day of school. Luckily, they had their lunch before the final bell. "This is it!" shouted Leah. "The first day of summer vacation. That means we have 12 weeks of Sun and fun to do."

"It's a good thing we already did our back-to-school clothes shopping," said Tania. "We can't wear the same thing all the time."

"I don't know about you gals," Paige replied, "but I love clothes from thrift stores. I'm good friends with the girls who volunteer there."

Suddenly, a familiar figure hopped over the fence. It was Rylie's younger brother, Aaron. Rylie asked in horror, "How did you get through here?"

"For a person at my weight," Aaron replied, "I got boundaries."

"Boundaries of annoying people," Rylie replied.

"Hey," Aaron replied. "I've got plenty of for someone with my size."

"Brothers," Rylie groaned. "Just go in the kitchen and fetch us something to eat. If you see any pudding, don't eat all of it again. Remember Cousin Reece's birthday party last year."

"I won't," Aaron replied.

"Speaking of which," Kaylin said, "what is Peter going to do?"

"He and his friends had that skateboarding competition," replied Paige. "They're planning to win. Just I hope they don't cheat or anything."

"We should get to the underground shed," Leah replied. "That way Aaron could stop bugging us."

In the shed, the Klue Queens sat down and talked about their plans. "So what are we going to do during the summer girls?" Leah asked.

"We got some Friendly Scout activities to attend," Leah said. "Plus we're getting jobs at Roadhouse Fantasia. Mr. Hayato needs all the help this summer during the afternoon shift between 11 to 4."

"So better have our lunch early before the shift starts," Tania suggested. "We don't want to go hungry while working."

"That's good," Rylie replied, "because Mom, Dad, and I are going to spend every weekend at the flea market selling honey."

"For me," Estrella said, "Christina and I already planned out the wedding. Now they need a location for it."

"I'm going to be volunteering at the animal shelter," Kaylin replied. "And hope to find summer love."

"You do that every year, Kaylin," Tania groaned.

"Poyo, poyo, poyo, poyo? (Will we solve any mysteries?)" asked Kirby.

"Kirby," assured Kaylin, "there will be mysteries for us to solve soon, so hang tight."

Kirby decided to go into the kitchen to see if snacks were ready.

Inside the house, Kirby found Aaron going through the McBruce mail. "All we got is some bills for Ms. McBruce to pay and some letter from a millionaire's butler from Clifton Creek," Arron said.

"Poyo? (What?)" Kirby asked as he took the letter from Aaron and rushed off.

"Kirby," Aaron annoyingly growled.

In the underground, Kirby showed the letter to Leah.

Dear Kirby Klue Queens

Everyone in the town of Clifton Creeks has been hearing about your little adventures.

Now it's time for you to solve a mystery at Harmon Manor.

My master, Atticus Harmon, has been murdered and we want you to investigate.

I'm writing in a letter so the culprit won't catch me.

Come as soon as you can.

Signed, Nathaniel.

"Atticus Harmon?" asked Leah. "The millionaire?"

"Poyo, poyo, poyo? (Who's Atticus Harmon?)" asked Kirby.

"Atticus Harmon is the richest man in Clifton Creeks," said Leah. "He had his own cooking web show, wrote 12 cookbooks in English, Spanish, braille, and Hindu, and owns a kitchen supplies shop in the heart of town."

"And I can't believe that he's been murdered," Kaylin replied. "Looks like the Klue Queens are on the case."

Later after their snack, the girls were riding their stars to Harmon Manor. Leah rang the doorbell and at the door was a gorgeous looking butler, much to Kaylin's delight.

"Hello," said the butler, "and welcome to the manor. I'm Nathaniel, the butler of this fine establishment."

"And a cute butler too," Kaylin smiled.

"Kaylin," growled Tania. Getting down to business, she asked Nathaniel, "How did the murder happen?"

"I'm new to this," Nathaniel replied. "So I don't know anything about the murder. Though I know for people who could do this. Melina the maid, Davis the chauffeur, and Skyla the gardener"

Nathaniel took Estrella, Swinger, and Leah to the billiard room where the murder took place. On the ground, Swinger smelled the red liquid. They thought it was blood at first, but with another smell, they saw that it was strawberry jam. Leah had a feeling that the murder could be fake, but decided to investigate the suspects first.

In Mr. Harmon's bedroom, Paige and Kaylin started looking around for some clues. "I've seen this on the Italian restaurant episode of The Monkees," Paige said. "There are purple flowers everywhere, and the painting Milan a la Carte."

"Milan," Kaylin recalled, "the fashion capital of Italy. You know who would love Milan? Nathaniel. Remember, looks can be deceiving."

"But not Nathaniel," Kaylin replied.

Little did they know was that Nathaniel was hearing them talk outside. "Nathaniel is the cutest boy I've ever known," Kaylin replied. "What if he's a butler and I hardly know him? I love him."

Nathaniel felt the same thing; he just hoped the other staff was okay with him.

At the balcony, Kirby, Tania, and Rylie were thinking about the suspects. "They always say that the butler did it," Rylie replied, "but I think that's just old school."

"I know," Tania replied. "But we can't tell this to Kaylin. It would break her heart."

Leah and Estrella were carrying the strawberry paperweight to look for fingerprints. They wore latex gloves so they wouldn't get their own fingerprints on them. Kirby tried to eat the paperweight, but Tania and Rylie stopped him. "Kirby," said Rylie, "what did we say about eating things with food patterns?"

As they were about to examine the paperweight, they heard Paige shouting, "Make love, not murder!"

They knew that saving a good friend was more important than finding the culprit. So Estrella and Leah placed the paperweight on the table, removed the gloves, and rushed off to the billiard room to save them.

In the billiard room, Paige and Kaylin were shocked by the masked murderer's appearance. In order to escape, they decided to dance their way out. Kaylin did her ballet while Paige did her disco.

The other Klue Queens arrived on time to save them. The murderer got out a dagger to harm them. But as they were cornered, Paige saw a revolver by the board game shelf. "If Kirby could eat the revolver," she said, "be could transform."

"What if it's loaded?" Leah said to Paige. "Remember our lecture on dangerous weapons."

"I know," Paige replied. "But this is an emergency, turned into one of his copy abilities."

With a suck of the gun, Kirby turned into Cowboy Kirby. Instead of bullets, he shot out toy balls. This made the masked man roll around and slip into a pile. Paige declared, "Time to unmask the murderer."

They removed the mask, revealing to be a middle-aged man with glasses. "It's Mr. Harmon," said Rylie. "He's alive."

"And that's not all," Tania replied. "All the staff of the mansion is the culprit, this whole thing was a setup."

All of Mr. Harmon's servants came out nervously, including Nathaniel.

Later in the billiard room, Mr. Harmon explained what was going on. "You know a girl named Charlotte," he asked, "who is shy and quiet and always wears sweaters?"

"You mean Charlotte Paxton?" Estrella recalled. "Of course we know her. She's our friend. Usually, she's seen with her best friend Aranea and newcomer Norma Jean. I mean, those three are inseparable."

"She told me all about your wondrous mysteries from your little restaurant performance to your monkey rescue," Mr. Harmon continued. "I decided to test your skills to see how good you are at solving mysteries."

"Are you sure?" Estrella asked. "It's illegal to fake your own death."

"Don't worry," Mr. Harmon said. "The Clifton Creeks police department said it was okay. It's amazing what you can do if you're rich."

"There were some clues that you faked your death," Tania said, "like the blood on the window curtains. It was strawberry jam."

"And me looking around his bedroom filled with purple flowers and paintings of Italy," Paige recalled. "My love for the Monkees gave me the feeling that he might be alive."

"And the paperweight," Rylie recalled. "It had strawberry patterns on it, meaning it had something to do with the fake blood."

"That strawberry paperweight was the last gift from my mother before she died of an illness last year," said Nathaniel. "I wanted to remind my dad here to stay strong when going through his struggles."

Then Nathaniel helped up his father, Mr. Harmon. "Dad?" asked Kaylin. "You mean you don't have an actual butler?"

"Not really," Mr. Harmon said. "What I learned my high school days is that you have to clean up after yourselves."

"No wonder your so handsome, Nathaniel," Kaylin said as she stared blankly at him.

"But the one thing I don't get is," Mr. Harmon said, "what happened to my glass swan imported from Germany?"

"I broke it, Dad," Nathaniel said. "I wanted to help clean the billiard room. I cleaned the knick snack self so many times, I accidentally broke the glass swan."

"Oh," Mr. Harmon said. "That thing was getting too old anyway."

Everyone laughed.

Back in Lititz Heights the next day, they were eating dessert outside of Roadhouse Fantasia when they saw Billie cleaning the windows of her family's restaurant.

"Billie cleaning Holman's?" asked Estrella. "She hates working,"

"I know," Paige replied. "Maybe her parents decided to give her a summer job."

"Technically it was my idea," said Rudolph as he was coming. "I was tired of her being so vain and not doing any work, so I decided to give her a taste of her own medicine by making her get a summer job."

"What about her parents?" asked Tania.

"Her parents wanted more help around the restaurant," Rudolph explained. "So they decided to let her join the family business. Everyone has been talking about you girls going to Harmon Manor to solve a murder mystery. I can't believe a millionaire chef could test your skills there. They say that Harmon Manor is tough to get into."

Estrella stands up and realized something. "I think I know what this place can be used for," Estrella said.

A few days later, Christina and Ricardo were both getting married. Estrella and Carolina were the bridesmaids for the wedding. "I now pronounce you husband and wife," said Mr. Harmon. "Puede besar a la novia (You may kiss the bride)."

Everyone cheered for the happy couple,."This was the perfect place for Ricardo and Christina to get married," Carolina whispered to Estrella.

"Gracias, hermana," whispered Estrella.

As Christina and Ricardo tossed their bouquet of purple flowers. Kaylin caught the bouquet then looked at Nathaniel, hoping that she would see him again soon.

The End.
