Wow.

The vampire Council should send you care packages more often.

[gasps]

[screams]

Crispy-fried Bird Beaks.

[gasps] Yes!

My favorite flavor.

Fiesta.

Once you chirp, you can't stirp.

-You want some? -Nirp.

How did all that stuff fit in there, anyway?

Magic.

Let's see what else they sent.

[gasps]

Ooh! Yummy. Ha!

Not my business.

Not my crime scene.

Calm down. It's blood orange juice.

That's exactly what a vampire in hiding would say.

[gasps] Ooh!

-[chuckles] -Ooh...

Please don't tell me that's a relative.

No, this is a Skele-ton 'O Fun.

It's the hottest toy in Transylvania.

Here's the remote control.

Me first!

-[beeps] -[rattling]

Yeah, I'm gonna leave you hanging.

Let's see if there are any more surprises before we go to breakfast.

[gasps] Ooh!

Good thing I checked. [chuckles]

The Council sent me my very own gargoyle.

He looks creepy.

I know, right? [chuckles]

He's a Transylvania ten.

I'll call him...

Stoney.

Short for Stone-Cold Fox.

I think I'd rather hang out with a skeleton.

Back in Transylvania,

these guys are our little buddies.

Yes, but historically, the gargoyle,

known in France as

le gargouille,

was intended to ward off evil.

Hmm.

Well, then, Professor Demi,

it's a good thing there's no evil at Wilson Hall.

[Demi chuckles]

Uh, hey.

What are you doing?

[hesitates] Oh!

Hi, guys.

What am I doing? Great question.

Doesn't Vee ask great questions?

What was the question?

Are you practicing your Van Helsing stuff?

[sighs] Yes.

It's complicated.

I'm really sorry I didn't tell you.

Psh! Why would I need to know that you're training to slay vampires?

None of my business.

Feels like all of your business.

[bell rings]

Um...

I should go.

I've got this big solo later today for my interpretive dance class.

It's 50% of my grade.

I picked the race-car theme, like my bed back home.

You didn't need to know that. Okay, bye.

So, how are you really feeling about Elijah starting training?

Honestly, I don't know.

My stomach feels kind of weird,

but that could also just be all the Bird Beaks.

You do have a little feather right there.

Guys. [panting]

I held a live wire during AV club, and...

people are asking questions.

Oh.

I'm alone.

[chuckles] Wait a second.

You were just there.

But now you're over--

[chuckles nervously] Okay.

That's too creepy, even for me,

and I'm a ghost.

I'm just gonna find you a nice, sunny spot...

in the trash.

[sighs]

[groans warily]

♪ S-L-A-Y ♪

-[laughing] That was so funny. -There you are!

We need to get rid of the gargoyle.

Demi, why in the underworld

would I want to get rid of such an adorable little statue?

Wait.

Did you put him there?

No. He put himself there.

Did his face change?

Yeah. I can't tell if he's happy

or gassy.

I did a deep dive on gargoyles.

Stoney isn't just a tchotchke.

The Council sent you a protector.

It says this gargoyle destroys vampire enemies.

Does that sound adorable to you?

"When an evil threat draws near,

it puts to bed your deepest fear."

Well, vampire enemies are Van Helsings.

Do you think this means both Elijah and Moriah are in danger?

Luckily, Moriah's a substitute,

and she's not even here this week.

That's right, she went cliff diving in Argentina.

I don't care if she did try to poison me,

she's a Transylvania ten.

But Elijah is here.

The book says "vampire enemies," and he's not my enemy.

So, he should be okay.

[knock on door]

[Elijah] Hey, it's Elijah. Can I come in?

-Yes. -Absolutely not.

-Hey. -Hey.

I wanted to talk more about what happened earlier.

[chuckles] I'm sure whatever it is can be cleared up in a heartfelt letter.

-Bye-bye. -Oh!

It won't take long.

Oh!

Cool gargoyle.

The thing is...

-[thuds] -Whoa!

Told you he was gassy.

"When an evil threat draws near,

it puts to bed your deepest fear."

[Elijah snores]

[Sophie] Wake up, Elijah.

Come on!

Rise, comrade. Rise!

[snores]

It's not working, and we've tried everything.

How do you wake up a person who's been magically forced into slumber?

We haven't tried...

a kiss.

Ladies!

This is not a fairy tale.

The book says Elijah cannot be awakened from the outside

because right now he's inside a dream.

Also, consent is important.

So nothing can wake him up.

As long as the gargoyle thinks Elijah is a threat to vampires,

he's trapped in slumber.

Oh, and there's one other small detail,

but nobody panic.

I never panic.

We have until nightfall, or else...

he'll never wake up.

-What? -I'm panicking!

There's only one choice left.

Agreed. We pretend none of this happened

and move to Portugal.

No.

I'm going to dream walk.

Whoa!

Vee, have you lost your never-living mind?

You said we can't wake him up in the real world,

but maybe I can wake him up in his dream.

Dream walking is not an option.

Wait.

What's dream walking?

'Cause I think I did that once at my grandma's house

and they had to put bells on the door.

That's sleepwalking.

Dream walking is a highly-advanced skill

that allows a vampire to enter a person's dream.

And it's super risky.

You can only exit the dream when the person wakes up.

So, if Vee can't wake up Elijah,

Vee will also be trapped.

Forever.

Have you lost your never-living mind?

I'm the only chance Elijah has.

I'll wake him up and prove to Stoney that he's not a threat.

-[Demi sighs] -And when I return,

there better be some Bird Beaks left.

[sighs softly]

It... it's working.

I think I'm almost...

[thuds]

...in Elijah's dream.

I did it.

Hello?

Elijah?

It's Vee.

I'm in your dream.

Sorry I didn't knock first.

Consent is important.

[Elijah] Vee? Vee?

[panting] Okay.

I don't want to scare you,

but something really weird is going on at this school.

Okay, that's the exit to go outside, right?

Watch what happens.

[gasps]

We're trapped.

[clucking]

Also...

I think Dean Merriweather might be a chicken.

Okay.

I can explain.

Right now, you're trapped in a dream, and none of it is real.

-So, you're not real? -No.

I'm real and you're real and the dream looks real and feels real,

but it's not real.

Okay, now I'm confused. For real.

Bats, this is hard.

Okay. In the real world,

-can cheeseburgers fly? -What?

Uh... Oh!

Okay.

Maybe this is a dream.

Trust me.

My gargoyle put you to sleep

and we'll both be trapped in an eternal slumber

if I can't wake you up before nightfall.

-How long do we have? -Um...

[bell tolling]

That's not long at all!

[claps]

Wake up, me.

What usually wakes you up?

Uh, could you pretend to be my mom and sing the "Rise and Shine" song?

[clucking]

[both screaming]

[sighs] Poor Elijah.

I bet he had all kinds of plans.

Then poof.

Limp spaghetti.

[gasps] Oh, no!

Elijah's dance solo.

He could fail the class.

We have to get him there.

You could possess his brain.

I can't while Vee's inside his head.

It would cause an actual brain freeze.

I assume.

I was long gone before slushies arrived on the scene.

How are we going to get him to his class?

Much less moving and dancing.

-[groans] -[beeps]

Aah!

It's alive!

Calm down, Dr. Frankenstein.

You just sat on the controller.

You have no idea

what the Skele-ton 'O Fun is capable of.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

We're gonna send that skeleton to Portugal?

No.

He'd never get through security.

But we might be able to help Sleeping Beauty over there.

[snores]

[sighs] Hope this works.

-[beeps] -[rattling]

Hello, Elijah.

Boring.

Let me try.

[beeps]

[rattling]

This is why we can't have nice things.

It's my first time playing with a magical skeleton

that controls my sleeping friend's body, okay?

And by the way,

"B" is turbo.

[Vee] Elijah?

[panting]

[shudders]

[Stoney] Elijah must be really hungry.

Stoney?

[Stoney] It is his dream, after all.

Or is it a nightmare?

I'm trying to save Elijah.

Why isn't he waking up?

[Stoney] Because I'm protecting you.

He needs to stay asleep.

But Elijah is not a threat, he's my friend.

All Van Helsings are a threat to vampires.

Oh, oh.

Oh. [panting]

I just saw the Dean lay an egg.

Biggest jump scare of my life.

Elijah, tell this gargoyle that you don't care that I'm a vam--

Hush! You must not reveal your identity to the enemy.

Whoa! The gargoyle is talking...

and judge-y.

But Elijah already knows I'm a vampire.

I told him, and we're good.

Sophie's cool with it, too.

[Stoney] What have you done?

I'm thinking you over-shared.

[mouthing] Yes.

I assumed Van Helsings were the greatest threat to all vampires.

Instead...

it appears to be you, Vee.

Me?

A 13-year-old performing arts student?

You guys need some better threats.

[Stoney] By revealing your identity,

you have endangered all vampires.

You must be eliminated.

Allow me to show you just how dangerous your Van Helsing bestie has become.

Prepare to be vanquished...

vampire.

Oh, my goblins.

Elijah, you don't have to do this.

[Stoney] Oh, he does.

I've cast a spell on your so-called friend.

I am not her friend.

[Stoney] Duh-doi.

Vee, check out what a little secret training does to a vampire slayer.

Get her!

[pants]

All right.

I didn't want to have to do this but...

[screams]

[♪ percussion music playing]

Did you cue up the music?

Ready to go.

How's Race Car Bed doing?

[snores]

-[crowd applauds] -Ready as he'll ever be.

[beeps]

[♪ dance music playing]

[crowd exclaiming]

Demi, let me drive.

[all exclaiming]

He's gonna get carsick.

-Give it back. -No!

Oh, no.

It's stuck on triple mode.

We're in a Skele-ton 'O Trouble.

[pants, gasps]

Whoa!

This is a weird filter.

[Stoney] I thought I'd make this dream old-school.

Stoney, stop this right now!

[Stoney as sports announcer]

He's a 5'10" slayer

from Bridgeport.

Give it up for Elijah Summers.

Can you smell what the slayer is cooking?

Spoiler alert.

It's "stake."

Stoney.

As a vampire,

I command you to break the spell and release Elijah.

[Stoney] Request denied.

I'm in control here.

Your recklessness has endangered all vampires.

-Elijah, attack! -Wait!

If you're gonna make us dance,

I might as well dress for the ball.

Oh.

[Stoney] Clever use of dream powers.

But to be clear,

you will be fighting,

not dancing.

Duh-doi.

[Stoney] This is better than slay-per-view.

Elijah, your dream is really taking a turn.

-You've got to wake up! -[grunts]

Your vampire moves are advanced.

Thank my Uncle Luka.

He's a ninja-pire.

We don't have to do this.

You and I are not enemies.

Vampires are dangerous.

And this is what I was born to do.

[Stoney] Ooh! Will Elijah vanquish you...

-[bell tolling] -...or will time run out

and you stay in the dream forever?

I'm on the edge of my ledge.

[laughs cunningly]

Nice move.

I know you can hear me, Elijah.

You're in there somewhere.

Think about winning First Year to Watch together.

Think about our first dance.

Think about us.

[Stoney] Take her down!

[gasps]

[grunts]

Aah! [gasps]

[ticking]

[yells]

[breathing heavily]

[clangs]

What are you doing?

-Fight! -No!

The real Elijah is my friend,

and he would never hurt me.

We once both chose not to fight each other,

and I know we can do it again.

[Stoney] Finish her!

Vee?

[sighs]

Whoa!

Whoa! Oh!

-Whoa! -Elijah, you're back.

[Stoney] You broke the spell.

What's going on?

Well, you sort of, kinda,

almost tried to vanquish me.

Wait, wait. So, I was about to--

-Oh. -[clangs]

No, no, no, no, no. Look, Vee, I am so sorry, okay?

I would never, ever do that to you.

[Stoney] The bond between you two is stronger than my magic.

Plot twist.

The only reason I'm even training is because

my sister was gonna take me out of Wilson.

That's what I came to tell you before I got gargoyled.

[Stoney] My bad.

So, you made a deal with Moriah?

Yeah, because...

I'm not ready to leave Wilson for a lot of reasons, and you're...

[sighs] You're one of them.

Because I really like you, Vee.

I really like you.

[Stoney] A vampire and a Van Helsing

capable of friendship.

Centuries of violence could finally come to an end.

I have to tell the Vampire Council immediately.

Yes.

-[Stoney] No! -[thuds]

[thudding]

Make it stop, make it stop!

I'm trying everything I can think of.

[clattering]

[grunts]

Take a bow.

Take a bow.

[breathing heavily]

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

I hope I don't need this.

[panting]

What is going on?

I'm really dizzy.

We'll catch you up on everything.

Uh-huh.

-Ah! -[Elijah grunts]

Oh, thank darkness, you're all right!

Okay.

I guess you guys will catch us up on a few things, too.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Oh, hey.

Hey. What's in the box?

Stoney, in all his broken glory.

I guess if you break in a dream, you break in real life. [chuckles]

I thought I'd put him up here so Demi can keep an eye on him.

Hmm, he does seem to have a thing for old junk.

[clears throat] I mean...

priceless antiquities.

Sweet dreams, Stoney.

So...

Do you feel like talking any more about what happened?

[sighs] I wish I could but...

I really don't remember anything.

Well, consider yourself lucky.

You saw the Dean lay an egg.

I don't think I'm hungry anymore.

Hey, uh...

-The whole reason I came to your room earlier was-- -I know.

Dream Elijah told me all about Moriah making you start your training.

Oh, good.

And...

you know I'd never hurt you, right?

I do.

I'm glad you're staying at Wilson.

-Speaking of which... -Hmm?

You really don't remember anything about the dream?

Why?

Did I say something weird?

No, definitely not.

But even if you did,

I like weird.

[chuckles softly]

Okay.

-History of cinema class. -[chuckles]

Did you know

Bela Lugosi...
