//------------------------------// // The 1st Clue // Story: Blue's Clues: Summer Fun in the Sun! // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Steve and Spike were looking for clues when they went to the right. They kept on walking around the house but they couldn't find anything. They looked and looked til suddenly they passed a perfume bottle with a paw print on it. And when we see that we know that it's a clue!! "A clue!! A clue!!" The readers said as the two stopped in their tracks. "Something's loose on Spike's shoe?" Steve said. Spike looked on his shoe but it wasn't loose. "No my shoe's not loose. Now we need to continue looking for clues." Spike said. "No a clue." The reader said. "Oh! Oh Spike they see a clue!" Steve said. "Really?! Well where is it?" Spike asked. "Over there!" The reader said as they turned to see the perfume bottle with the paw print on it. "Look at that! There's a clue! And it's on this...perfume bottle." Steve said. "Then the perfume bottle must be our first clue." Spike said. "That's right Spike. And after we find a clue we need to write it down in our handy dandy...." Steve said. "Notebook!!" The readers said. "Notebook! Right!" Steve said as he took it out ready to draw. "Ok let's draw a perfume bottle." He said. We see Steve draw out the clue on his notebook. "I'll start off by drawing a rectangle for the body, another one for the cover, some squiggles for the words, two lines for the neck, and a square for the lid. And there a perfume bottle." He said. "Nice drawing Steve." Spike said. "Thanks. So were trying to figure out what kind of flowers Spike can give Rarity. And our first clue is a perfume bottle." Steve said as the image flew above their heads. "So what kind of flowers could Spike give Rarity with a perfume bottle?" Steve said. "Maybe it's a kind of flower that would be made into a perfume?" Spike said. "That could well be." Steve said closing his notebook and the image flew back in. "But let's look for 2 more clues just to be sure." "Ok cause we need all 3 clues." Spike said. "Hey Steve!! Can you help us real quick?" A voice said catching the duo's attention. "Sounds like we better help out. Come on Spike." Steve said. "Alright. Then we look for more Blue's Clues." Spike said. The two made their way into the kitchen and they encountered three talking shakers. One is full of salt, the other is full of pepper, and the last one was full of paprika. They were Steve's friends Mr.Salt, Mrs.Pepper, and little Paprika. "Hi Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper." Steve said. "Hello, hello!" They said and saw Spike. "Oh and who's your friend right there?" Mrs. Pepper said. "This is Spike. He's playing Blue's Clues with me." Steve said. "Hi there." Spike greeted. "Nice to meet you Spike. Anyways we need your help. Were trying to make cookie sandwiches for the party but we can't remember what cookies and ice cream to use. We got the flavors mixed up by mistake and we now can't remember. Think you can help?" Mr. Salt said. "Spike. You wanna help me sort out these cookies and ice cream?" Steve said. "Sure Steve I'll help. Ok guys. What do we need to do?" Spike said. "We gotta make the sandwiches exactly the way we describe it. We know what kind to make so all you need to do is match the flavors of the cookies and ice cream." Mrs. Pepper said. "I think we can handle that." Spike said as Steve was handed the first cookie sandwich recipe. "Ok so the first one is called the Vanilla Vibe Sandwich. So Spike which set of cookies and ice cream do you think best fits this sandwich?" Steve said. "Hmm i would say it has to be the vanilla cookies and ice cream." Spike said. "Yeah cause those smell like vanilla and fits the recipe perfectly. Good job." Steve said. "Thanks." Spike said as Steve got another recipe. "Ok Spike try this one. The second one is called the Choco Crazy Sandwich. So do you know what kind of cookies and ice cream go well for this?" Steve said. "Hmm if that's what I think your saying I say it's the chocolate cookies and ice cream." Spike said. "Wow your good. Cause those smell just like chocolate and tastes like it too. Nice work Spike." Steve said. "Thank you. Now is there one more?" Spike said as Steve was handed the last recipe. "Yes there is. Ok Spike get ready. The last sandwich is called the Sweet Strawberry Sandwich. Now Spike do you know what kind of cookies and ice cream can be used for this?" Steve said. "Yes I do. The last set of strawberry cookies and ice cream." Spike said. "You are so right. Cause those cookies and ice cream no doubt smell like strawberries. Therefore they work for the last recipe." Steve said. After Steve said all that they see all the cookie sandwiches made. Each plate was labeled so they know what kind it is. Spike was real impressed that all was done so fast. "Wow that sure was quick. But those sandwiches look so good." Spike said. "Yes they do Spike. Thanks for sorting out the cookies and ice cream." Mr. Salt said. "Your welcome. Bye." Steve said as he and Spike went outside in the backyard. In the backyard everything was decorated as well. There was even a pool to go swimming in. "Wow. So we can go swimming when everything's ready?" Spike said. "Yes we can Spike. But wait til later. And we still need to find 2 more clues so you can find out what flowers to give Rarity." Steve said. "Oh yeah that too. Well let's go." Spike said. The two made their way to the garden. Spike still needed the other 2 clues but what could they be? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
