Playmobil Spies & Detectives: The Phantom of the Restaurant-1 摩比嬌娃＆神探之餐廳魅影-1

It was near the end of the blissful summer holidays, and as both Claire and Eliza were busy occupying themselves with something else, such as going on family vacations, visiting relatives, etc, it was some time ago since they had last met. Therefore, Claire called Eliza and they arranged to meet in the former's house. 

快樂的暑假逐漸進入了尾聲，Claire 和 Eliza 整個暑假都非常的忙碌，一直都沒有時間見面。於是，便相約在 Claire 家相會。

Oh, what a hug they gave each other after such a long time of not seeing each other!

她們見面後馬上給了對方一個大大的擁抱。

"You've got a new haircut!" exclaimed Eliza.

「哇！新髮型喔！」Eliza 說。

"Indeed, and I think it makes me look excessively stupid." Claire replied, "On the contrary, I quite like your long, wavy hair!"

「對呀！可是我覺得這樣看起來好儍喔！」Claire 回答道。「我倒是很喜歡妳那頭飄逸的長髮！」

"Don't worry, it suits you very well! Better than my hair which hasn't been styled for a long time!" Eliza responded as she touched her newly styled hair from the day before, "I was too busy to go to the hairdressers."

「別擔心，妳的髮型跟妳很搭！至少比我的好，我好久都沒有去吹造型了！」Eliza 邊說邊摸著前一天剛做好造型的頭髮。「我忙到都沒時間去美容院了！」

Just when they were about to sit down and engross themselves in further discussions about the past few months, suddenly, Eliza's phone rang. They've got a video-call from their boss-Tom. In fact, Claire and Eliza weren't just any ordinary high-school girls, they work as spies for the PMSSO (PLAYMOBIL Secret Spies Organisation). 

正當他們要坐下來準備好好聊一聊時，突然，Eliza 的手機響了，通知有視訊來電。滑開手機一看，原來是她們的老闆～湯姆打來的。原來，Claire 和 Eliza 不只是普通的高中女學生，還是『摩比秘密間諜組織』的嬌娃。

"Good morning, ladies!" Tom said through the video-call conversation, "Sorry to interrupt your intimate conversations after such a long time of not meeting each other, but this is urgent business. The headquarters have just received some intelligence from a reliable source that someone is planning to kidnap the famous actress- Natasha Saunders on the night which she will host a private party in a restaurant in Venice, Italy, which is also, coincidentally, rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of an actress. This party is extremely private which only Saunders' most intimate acquaintances are allowed to attend. Therefore, the headquarters have forged some invitation cards for you to enable you to attend. It is highly advisable for you to bring someone whom you trust with you to the restaurant, as it could be a quite dangerous mission. In case of any news, please contact the headquarters immediately. Good luck and have fun!"

「早安啊，女士們！」湯姆透過視訊說。「很抱歉打擾妳們聊天，但是這次的案子非常緊急。總部剛收到可靠的最新情報，有人正計劃著要在名演員～娜塔莎・桑德斯在義大利威尼斯舉辦的私人宴會上綁架她。更離奇的是，有傳聞說那間餐廳鬧鬼～是一個女演員的鬼魂。這次的宴會只有和桑德斯有很好交情的人才被要請，所以，總部仿冒了幾張邀請函給你們。總部建議你們帶一個信任的人一同去參加，因為這次任務很有可能會很危險。若有任何消息，請儘速通知總部。祝好運！」

"OMG! I can't BELIEVE we're actually going to Venice!" Eliza exclaimed in excitement after the video-conversation.

「噢買尬！我真不敢相信我們要去威尼斯耶！」Eliza 興奮地說。

"I know right! It's gonna be fantastic!" Claire replied, "I know who we can bring! I'll call my brother, who is extremely interested in ghosts and such, maybe he can help us with this case!"

「就是說啊！我好期待喔！」Claire 回答道。「我知道我可以帶誰去了！我打電話給我哥，我知道他對這些鬼怪很感興趣！」

"Sure!" Eliza agreed.

「好啊！」Eliza 說。

Claire then called her elder brother- Shaun, who was currently on holiday in Edinburgh, after the former has explained to him their situation, Shaun, as accurately described by her sister, was indeed extremely interested in supernatural cases, agreed to join them immediately after hearing that the restaurant was haunted. He also asked to let his friend Jeffrey join them, which was consented by her sister. 

隨後，她便打電話給她正在愛丁堡渡假的哥哥～孝恩，並解釋了一下他們的情況。對靈異案件非常有興趣的孝恩聽到了餐廳鬧鬼後馬上答應要參加，並要求要帶他的朋友一起來。

"If it's a party from an actress, we have to wear something formal!" Eliza concluded as they walked towards Claire's dressing room. 

「大明星辦的宴會，我們得穿得正式點兒！」Eliza 一邊走向 Claire 的更衣室一邊說。

"Hmmm, looks like I'm in need of another gown!" Claire replied.

「看來，我還缺一件晚禮服啊！」Claire 答道。

"Then let's get some shopping done!" They both exclaimed in one voice.

「那我們趕緊去雪拼吧！」兩人異口同聲地說。
