[The sea bird is squawking on top of Emily Elizabeth's school bell. Later at the park Emily ELizabeth & Jetta is playing soccer with Charley in summer clothes.]
Charley: Hey, guys.
Emily Elizabeth: Hi, Charley.
Jetta: hello.
Charley: Wanna play soccer?
Emily Elizabeth: Sounds fun, but mom and I are going shopping today.
Jetta: I'll play, but I better take off My spelling champion medal first. [Jetta took off the green sweater to play soccer] Oh, would you please put this over on the bench for me, Emily Elizabeth? I don't want to lose my beautiful, shiny medal while I'm playing soccer.
Charley: Come on, let's play!
[Emily Elizabeth is put Jetta's sweater in the bench and play with Charley in yellow t-shirt, shorts and sandals. Old sea bird taken Jetta's medal.]
[At Jetta's house, Mac barked and sniffed in Jetta's sweater smelled like Jetta's house]
Jetta: Uh-uh-uh! No, Mac. No tummy yummies in there. Just my shiny new medal. [Jetta's medal disappeared by sea bird] Hmm--[gasping]-- My medal! It's gone! And I bet I know who took it.
[At Emily Elizabeth's house, he and T-Bone chewing with a rawbone]
T-Bone: This rawhide bone is great.
Clifford [Growls]: Yeah. I wish Cleo was here to help us chew it up.
Cleo: Hiya, guys.
T-Bone: Wow! How'd you do that, Clifford?
Cleo: Sorry I'm late. I was at the groomers. 
T-Bone: Your new bow sure is shiny. 
Clifford: You could send a secret message with that bow.
T-Bone: A secret message?
Cleo: With a bow?
Clifford: Yeah, like tiny did in the book Emily read me last night.
Cleo: I'd love to be a detective like that. Wouldn't you, T?
T-Bone: I don't know. Would I have to wear a shiny bow?
Clifford: Look, there's Jetta and Mac. Jetta looks kind of mad. [Jetta knocked on the door to Emily Elizabeth's house look irritated at Emily Elizabeth]
Cleo: Hey, Mac. What's going on?
Mac: Oh, not much. Emily Elizabeth just stole Jetta's spelling medal, that's all.
Clifford: What?! 
Mac: She look it from Jetta's sweater pocket at the park.
Clifford: Emily Elizabeth would never take her medal.
Emily Elizabeth: I would never take your medal.
Jetta: You were jealous because I won the spelling contest, so, you stole it!
Emily Elizabeth: I did not! Maybe you dropped it on the way home or something.
Jetta: Are you sure you didn't take it?
Emily Elizabeth: I promise.
Jetta: I just can't believe it's gone.
Emily Elizabeth: Well, I could help you look for it, Jetta.
Jetta [Sighs]: OK. Let's go, Machiavelli. We're going to find my medal... [Jetta gets out of the house and find out]
Mac: Even though we already know who has it.
Clifford: Mac really thinks Emily Elizabeth stole that medal.
T-Bone: We know Emily Elizabeth didn't take it.
Cleo: I'm sure they'll find it.
Clifford: Wait, what if we found it?
T-Bone: How could we do that? We could be detectives.
Cleo: Ooh, detectives! I love it.
Clifford: We'll start by looking around the park.
T-Bone: Hold on! (Cleo: Wait!)
[Clifford Sniffing around the park smelled like trouble and smelled like stench weed, vacuumed by Cleo & T-Bone]
Cleo: Aaaaah!
T-Bone: Wha?
[Snorts]
Clifford: This was the last place Jetta saw the medal. Do you smell anything?
T-Bone: Like what?
Cleo: Like clues, T-Bone.
T-Bone: What's a clue?
Cleo: Anything that will help lead us to Jetta's missing medal.
T-Bone: Oh. [T-Bone smelled like dirt at the park, vacuumed by sea bird feather. T-Bone sneezing to allergic to sea bird feather] Is this a clue?
Clifford: Maybe.
Cleo [Sniffs]: Hey, there's a really strong smell here. [Cleo smelled like rotten garbage at the park]
Clifford [Sniffs]: Whoa!
Cleo: This is real close to the last place Jetta saw her medal.
Clifford: Come on, let's follow the smell.
[The dogs sniffled to smelled like trouble at the movie theater. T-Bone chomping the movie theater popcorn from the movies. Cleo eats popcorn from the movies. Clifford is putting big glasses on at the optical. The dogs smelled like rotten garbage like clues. Jetta is sitting on a bench and gets bored and her ears playing worst music and noise.]
Cleo {sniffing]: The smell is getting stinkier now!
T-Bone: Cleo sure is a good sniffer.
[Cleo barks at Jetta]
Clifford: I think she found Jetta's medal!
[Cleo barking and sniffing, so Jetta gets on my nerves at Cleo]
Jetta: Ah, stop sniffing me and go away!
T-Bone: That's not Jetta's medal. That's Jetta. [Sea bird squawks] Whoa!
'Cleo: Well, there's no medal over there. That's for sure.
Clifford: Come on. Let's go back to my house and work on a new plan.
Emily Elizabeth: I'm sorry we didn't find your medal.
Jetta: My neck is just so bare without it. [Sea bird squawking] Are you absolutely, positively sure you didn't take it, Emily? 
Emily Elizabeth: I said I didn't, and it really hurts my feelings when you keep asking.
'Jetta: But...when I gave you my sweater, it was in the pocket. And when I looked in my pocket later, it was gone. [Sea bird taken Jetta's mirror]
Emily Elizabeth: I don't take things that don't belong to me.
Jetta: Hey. Where's my mirror? Give it back, Emily, right now.
Emily Elizabeth: I didn't take it.
Jetta: Just give it back.
Emily Elizabeth: I don't have it, Jetta. [Emily Elizabeth sighing for sure] I'm going home. [Back to Emily Elizabeth's house]
[In Emily Elizabeth's yard, Clifford is very annoyed to me]
Clifford (annoyed): Oh, there's gotta be a way To prove Emily Elizabeth didn't take the medal.
Mac (hyperventilating): She did it again, Clifford. This time, she stole Jetta's mirror.
Clifford: Cut it out, Mac.
Mac: It had to be her. She was the only one there. Y
Cleo: You think she could have, Clifford? I mean, maybe she couldn't resist.
Clifford: No. Emily Elizabeth didn't do anything wrong, but I'm gonna find out who did. [I got Cleo's shiny bow on the ground] Someone's taking things that don't belong to them, and we're gonna catch them.
T-Bone: Do you really think someone will try and steal your bow, Cleo?
'Cleo: Sure. Humans love shiny stuff. [Emily Elizabeth gets the bow to Cleo] Look! It's Emily Elizabeth. She's gonna take it.
Clifford [whispering]: no, she won't.
Emily Elizabeth: You lost your bow, Cleo. Let me put it back in your hair for you. There. It looks great. [She put her shiny bow to Cleo's head] See ya.
T-Bone: She didn't take it, Cleo.
Cleo: No, but I wish, someone had.
Clifford: Come on, guys. Let's put the bow back out on the sidewalk again and see if someone else takes it. [Sea bird squawking the whole time]
Cleo: Oh, my gosh! It's gone! Emily elizabeth must have changed her mind and come back to take it.
Clifford: She didn't take anything.
Jetta (looks irritated): ok, Emily Elizabeth, I'm gonna give you one more chance to return my medal and my mirror.
Emily Elizabeth: I didn't take it, Jetta. Why won't you believe me?
Clifford: We've got to find that medal.
T-Bone: Look. There's a feather here where Cleo's bow used to be... Just like the one in the park. [Sea bird squawking in the tree] And that sound-- I heard it at the ferry dock, And I heard it again when Cleo's bow was taken.
'Clifford: Good work, T. Those are just the clues we need. [Sea bird Squawking]
T-Bone: It's that bird that's making all the noise, Clifford.
Clifford: Wow. Emily Elizabeth has to see this.
[Squawk]
Emily Elizabeth (sea bird was taken in the tree and she's riding with Clifford): Clifford! It's Jetta's medal. You found it. You found it. And look, there's her mirror and Cleo's shiny bow, too.
Jetta: What are you doing, Emily Elizabeth? 
Emily Elizabeth:' Clifford found your medal, Jetta.
Jetta (gasping with Mac): What?!
Emily Elizabeth: That old sea bird must've taken it. Some birds are very attracted to shiny things.
Jetta: Oh! This is amazing.
Emily Elizabeth: I told you I didn't take it, Jetta. I wish you'd believed me.
Jetta: Oh, I'm sorry. It just seemed like you did. But I guess it wasn't very fair of me to think that When I didn't know for sure. [Mac's Apologetic whine]
Emily Elizabeth: At least there was one friend Who never doubted me. The most loyal friend I could ever have-- Clifford. [Clifford give Emily Elizabeth a hug in the ending, flipped to pages of Emily Elizabeth & Clifford]
