Opera Singer: ♪ In Hora Prandii Est Newtopia! ♪

Marcy: Enjoy, everyone!

Marcy: This place makes the best beetle burger in all of Newtopia!

She munching

Polly: What's that?

Marcy: Oh, just my journal.

Marcy: I like jottin' down theories and observations. You know, all about indigenous fauna, medicinal techniques, customs and nuances of Amphibious species-based caste systems...

Marcy: Sometimes I even do drawing, Talia taught me everything I know.

She gasps

Polly: It looks just like me.

Hop Pop: Wow! Girls, have you been keeping a journal too?

Anne: Look, guys! I'm a straw-lrus! Like a walrus, but with straws!

He laughs

Sprig: What's a walrus?

Waiter: Now, who should I give the bill to? Probably not you.

Marcy: Oh! I'll take it! It's, oh, let me guess... 28 coppers?

Waiter: Right you are.

All oohing

Hop Pop: Wow! Can you do math like that too, Girls?

Sub-Zero: Marcy and Talia also was my math tutor at home.

They exhales

Anne: Uh, you mean like with numbers and stuff?

Polly: Can you imagine if Marcy got stuck with us instead of Anne and Sub-Zero? We'd be set for life!

Hop Pop: Hush, Polly. Think those thoughts, don't say them.

Anne: Oh, yeah? Well...

They screams

Anne: Look out!

All screams

Hop Pop: Someone's trying to kill us!

Sub-Zero: Wait, where have you been the last few months ago!

Marcy: No, no. It's fine. It's just a message from the king. Oh, correction. It's a puzzle-gram from the king.

All: What?

Marcy: He's basically hidden clues around the city and when I collect them all, I get a message. Ah! It's so fun!

Marcy: Okay, this first symbol is a tree, so we should head towards Coral Park. Now come on, team. It's puzzle time!

Sprig: A puzzle tour of Newtopia? Count me in!

All cheering

Hop Pop: Come on, Polly! This may be our most exciting adventure yet!

Waiter: Hey, thanks for coming in. Would you like to join our customer loyalty program? You can get free gifts.

Hop Pop: Gifts? Free?

Polly: Oh, no.

Sprig: Wow! Whoa! Look at that!

Sub-Zero: Anne. You're not marveling. Is everything okay?

Anne: Well, I don't know. It's just... Marcy's always been the smart one in our group. I've always just felt kinda dumb around her.

Sprig: What?

Anne: Shh! She'll hear you.

Sprig: Sorry. Well, hey. Maybe if you can solve the king's puzzle gram before Marcy, it'll prove you're just as smart as she is.
