[Vampirina] "Making a Splash."

Boy, you sure are zoomy today, Vee.

Really zoomy.

That's because Swampy will be here any minute.

She's one of my closest friends from Transylvania,

and she's never visited Pennsylvania before.

I can't wait to show her my home, my friends.

And the best part will be the Firefly Festival tonight.

The festival is pretty magical.

The human kind of magical, that is.

Yup, just the whole town having a picnic,

watching the fireflies come out.

I told Swampy about it last year,

and she just had to come see.

Come on, she should be arriving any minute.

‐Is Swampy here? ‐Not yet, batkins.

We thought you might want to do the honors.

[gasps and squeals]

Swampy! I missed you so much.

‐It's felt like centuries. ‐I know.

But we're going to have the most spooktacular time.

It's going to be a splash, like always.

Guess what I brought?

Our friendship bracelets. You remembered.

Of course I did.

[frogs croak]

[both squeal and giggle]

Aw, isn't that sweet?

Yeah, and loud.

[giggles] Sorry, Gregoria.

I just can't believe I'm finally here.

Don't be sorry.

Now give this old gargoyle a hug.

And this "doesn't look a day over 100 ghost" a hug.

Aw, thanks for having me over, Mr. and Mrs. Hauntley.

[gasps]

And you must be Poppy and Bridget.

Mm! Vee's told me so much about you

in our bat‐chats,

I feel like we're friends already.

‐Really? ‐Aw.

The Scare B&B is just like you said

in your eek‐mails, Vee.

I'm excited to learn all about your new home.

Especially the Firefly Festival.

[water splashes]

‐Whoa. ‐Wow.

"Don't forget your tank. Love Dad."

Guess I was so excited to come to Pennsylvania,

I forgot a few things.

Why did your dad send you a tank?

I'm the type of swamp monster

that needs a lot of water for my gills.

So I bring it when I visit other monsters.

[sighs and giggles]

‐Whoa. ‐That's so neat.

I remember this tank.

Oh! Me too!

And your pet fish, Gilbert.

Look, he remembers me.

See?

Now that Swampy has her tank,

why don't you girls get settled?

Mama and I have lots to do.

Edna gave us a very important job for the Firefly Festival.

We are in charge of chairs.

Chairs? That doesn't sound too hard.

Trust me, my mom takes planning the festival seriously.

Figuring out the seating is a pretty big job.

‐We'll see you soon, batlings. ‐Bye!

Now that you've met my friends,

what should we do next?

All I can think about is the Firefly Festival.

Can we go to the park early?

I brought all kinds of snacks to take with us,

just like our picnics in Transylvania.

‐Spookalicious. ‐Great idea.

‐Yum. ‐Now there's a monster

after my own heart.

Let's get to the park so we can eat them already.

Ghouly good idea.

We'll show Swampy the neighborhood along the way.

Whew, it sure is hot. And dry.

We're kind of in a heat wave. You okay, Swampy?

Oh, you don't have to be embarrassed.

I don't think that's it.

Uh‐oh, it's the gillies.

Like the batties?

Sort of. It happens when I'm out of the water too long.

But don't worry. Where's your nearest marsh?

‐Uh... ‐Swamp? Creek?

Moat?

You mean like the water around a castle?

Our neighborhood doesn't really have that.

Then I'll just get a quick splash...

in here.

‐Or not. ‐Maybe we should go back inside.

[sighs]

‐Feeling better, kiddo? ‐A lot better.

How come you never got the gillies

when we used to hang out?

I guess because we only hung out in Transylvania.

And it wasn't as dry and hot as it is here.

I'm sorry that Pennsylvania

isn't very swamp monster‐friendly.

That's okay, but how are we going to get

to the Firefly Festival?

I don't know.

But we'll figure something out.

Hm.

Ah‐ha!

Do you have an idea, Demi?

No, but I thought if I acted like I had one,

it would come to me.

[gasps] I've got it.

We can bring my tank with us.

That way, I can just jump in for a quick dip whenever I need.

Bat‐tastic plan.

Allow me.

[grunts]

Hi.

Guess it's a little heavier than I thought.

Let someone a little more solid give it a try.

[strains]

Not budging.

Everybody, push.

[all grunt]

I guess we need a new plan.

Whew, if only there were more pit stops

with water along the way.

Isn't there some kind of Transylvanian way to do that?

Actually, there is, and I know just the ghost for the job.

We'll just float on to the park,

and when you need to take a splash,

I'll make some water with a puddle spell.

Like so. Ahem...

We have none but we want oodles.

Fill the ground with lots of poodles.

‐[dogs barking] ‐Did I say poodles?

I meant puddles. Puddles!

Puddles would have been more helpful.

But poodles sure are cute.

Is this a Pennsylvania werewolf?

Not exactly.

Oh, no. Here come the gillies again.

I'd better get back to my tank.

Feeling better, Swampy?

Right as rain.

But we couldn't move my tank,

and we got poodles instead of puddles.

What if there's no way for me to get to the park?

Don't worry. I have another idea.

Uh, Vee, this ghost is looking a little flat.

[giggles] It's our ghoul pool.

All it needs is some air.

Oh, right. Oh, then allow me.

Wait, don't blow it up until we're‐‐

[inhales deeply and blows]

Outside.

[all laugh]

[Vampirina] This ghoul pool is a lot lighter than your tank.

We should have no problem moving it.

Perfect. I love swimming!

I call this my froggy stroke.

And this is my ghosty stroke.

[Gregoria] Ahem!

You're supposed to be helping, remember?

Oh, right.

‐[all grunting] ‐Whoa!

Sorry. Might be a little bumpy.

It's okay.

Anything to get to the festival.

Uh, Vee...?

Aw, shrieks.

‐So much for the ghoul pool. ‐Now what?

Vee, I think you should go to the festival without me.

Nothing's working, and it's getting late.

But, Swampy, you came all this way

to see the fireflies.

I know, but I don't want you to miss it, either.

I can see why you love it here.

Your friends and neighbors are really great.

And I bet the festival will be too.

But maybe Pennsylvania just isn't for me.

Uh‐oh, the gillies.

I'd better go.

Swampy, wait.

Oh, this is terrible.

I wanted Swampy to have an amazing visit,

but she can't if she doesn't feel welcome in Pennsylvania.

Don't worry, Vee.

We'll all stay with you and Swampy

instead of going to the festival.

Maybe we can have a sleepover.

Thanks, but it's still not fair

that Swampy can't go just because she has gills.

[sighs] I can't let her down.

She's one of my closest friends.

And we can't let this delicious basket of treats Swampy made‐‐

Mm‐mm.

‐‐go to waste.

What else can we do?

We tried everything.

[Vampirina] Not everything.

I'm not ready to give up on my friend.

[bubbling]

[knock on glass]

What are you doing here, Vee?

Isn't the Firefly Festival starting soon?

Swampy, I would never go without you.

That's why we made you this.

With this new tank, you can go anywhere.

‐[gasps] ‐Even if there's no water.

‐We hope you like it. ‐It's not too heavy.

It's got your cool, marshy style.

And I made a sidecar for Gilbert.

See? He loves it.

Oh, my marsh. It's amazing.

I can't believe you did this.

Do you think it'll really get me to the Firefly Festival?

Bat‐solutely.

[squeals]

We're finally here.

Just in time.

Come on, you can leave your cauldron here.

Really? But what about my gillies?

That won't be a problem.

I gave Mama and Papa a new idea for the seating arrangements

that had more of that Hauntley touch they were looking for.

Frogs and fins, this is amazing.

The Firefly Festival is most fun

when everyone can watch together.

And we never leave a ghoul behind.

Or a ghoul pool.

[laughs]

Trust me, on a hot summer day,

this is much more comfortable.

For swamp monsters and humans.

Over here, girls and ghouls.

[all laugh]

Well, Hauntleys, I have to say,

this is an interesting interpretation of chairs.

But people do seem to enjoy it.

Actually, it was all Vee's idea.

Aren't you going to take a dip?

Well, I don't know if it's very dignified

for the organizer of the festival to, you know‐‐

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just going to go on in.

‐Whoo‐hoo! ‐[all laugh]

Swampy.

Thanks for making

my first‐ever trip to Pennsylvania swamp‐tastic.

Of course. When we're together, we always make a splash.

[laughs]

[Vampirina] "The Spelling Vee."

Oh, batkins, what's my busy bat up to this week?

Well, Mama took me to the library yesterday,

and today Poppy and Bridget are coming over.

What about you, Nan? What's going on back home?

Oh! I'm going to one of my favorite

Transylvanian events this weekend.

Which one? The Broomstick Bluegrass Festival?

Oh, oh! The Cauldron Cook‐off?

If they're serving chili, I'm in.

[laughing] It's the Transylvania spelling bee.

‐What's that? ‐Young monsters

use their most magical wands to cast spooktacular spells.

The monster with the best spell wins.

‐That sounds bat‐tastic. ‐Oh, it is.

I competed in the spelling bee myself when I was a little bat.

Wow! Look at your wand.

I wish I could compete in the spelling bee.

Well, you know, batkins, it's not too late to enter.

Oh! You should do it, Vee.

I bet you'd be scary good.

Okay. I'm in.

[Poppy] A spelling bee?

That's so cool.

I can spell lots of words.

Bat, cat, mat, banana.

[giggles] Actually,

this spelling bee isn't about spelling words.

It's about casting spells with a wand.

You should be good at that, right, Vee?

I hope so.

I haven't worked on my spells in a while.

Scare package delivery for Vee.

Ooh!

"Dear Batkins, this rule book

"will help you get in tip‐top shape for the spelling bee.

Sending love and magic your way. Nan."

Oh, wow, that's a lot of rules.

Oh, no, the first 400 or so are just basic stuff:

no creepy‐crawly spells, no help from invisible spirits.

Ahem, okay.

"You must use a wand that truly shows who you are."

Where will I find a wand like that?

Maybe there's an old Hauntley family wand you can use.

Uncle Dieter, any chance we have a family wand

lying around anywhere?

Hm.

If my wand really has to show who I am,

maybe I should make it.

Great idea, Vee.

Yeah. We can help.

even my music.

I can't wait to start using it.

Okay, next rule of the spelling bee.

[clears throat]

"You must use your wand to create a spooktacular spell."

Hm. Any ideas?

How about a spell that summons dancing ponies?

Or dancing unicorns.

Or a parade of dancing cakes.

[giggles] Oh, never mind.

What inspires you, Vee?

Well, I like the idea of dancing.

And my best friends always inspire me.

Maybe I can make a spell that makes Poppy and Bridget dance.

That would be so fun.

And kind of scary.

But mostly fun.

Totally.

Perfect. Okay, I think I've got it.

Alakazam, alaka‐zair,

a beautiful dance performed in the air.

Whoa.

[Demi] Oh! Everyone quick, duck behind the couch.

Goofy ghoul, we're ducking from the couch.

Oops.

Let me try to reverse it.

Whoa!

I got you, Vee. And the wand.

Let's just give it a reverse flickity‐flick.

[both gasp]

‐Demi! ‐That's not right.

[gasps] Look at me!

I'm‐I'm‐I'm green!

Oh, sorry, Demi.

Still getting used to my new wand.

Don't worry, Vee.

You just need to practice a little more.

Yes, and you can start by reversing this spell.

Quickly, please, if you don't mind.

[laughs] Okay.

Alaka‐zair, alaka‐zost.

Turn this frog back into a ghost.

Ooh!

I'm back to my gorgeous self.

And let me tell you, green is not my color.

Vee, you reversed the spell.

I did, didn't I?

Maybe I can get the hang of my wand after all.

Try your original spell again.

Alakazam, alaka‐zair,

a beautiful dance performed in the air.

[both] Whoa!

Are we dancing?

It's not exactly dancing,

but it's something.

Hold on.

‐Whoa. ‐That was fun.

See, Vee? You're getting the hang of it.

You're right.

And if I keep practicing,

I know I'll be ready for the spelling bee.

[Poppy] This is so cool!

Oh, hi, Nan.

Hello, girls.

Ooh, is that your wand?

I made it myself.

It's fangtastic.

I'll be flapping my wings from the front row.

‐Hey, Vee. ‐Frankie!

Is that your wand?

Yup. I special‐ordered it months ago from FAO Shrieks.

Check it out.

‐Wow. ‐That's awesome.

It's monster‐ific, Frankie.

Hi, Vampirina.

Want to see my wand?

Hi, Phoebe. Sure.

It's been passed down through generations of Ravenson witches.

It's made with shooting stars and the roar of a griffin.

That's amazing.

You haven't seen my wand yet.

So, you know how I love the moon?

Whoa.

That's a real moonbeam in there.

My grandwolf summoned this wand from a full moon.

‐Where'd you get your wand? ‐I...

[sighs] I‐I made it.

From dandelions and a spookylele string.

Don't forget the bracelet.

Which aren't very powerful

magical wand ingredients like your wands.

That's okay. Mine's got lightning,

because it's totally me.

Your wand is still you, right?

I guess so.

Well, we'd better get ready for the competition.

Good luck, Vampirina.

Did you see how spooktacular their wands are?

They were all right.

Okay, they were really cool.

And amazing.

But, Vee, your wand is too.

It's perfect for you.

Not as perfect as their wands.

Or these.

[gasps] They must be wands

from past spelling bee champions.

Whoa! Yep, I think this one will do spookily.

Isn't it better to use your own wand?

There's no way my homemade wand is magical enough

for the competition.

I'll just borrow this wand for my one spell.

It's the only chance I have to do well.

Hello, and welcome to the spelling bee.

I'm Madame Spook.

Now, let the competition begin.

[mewls]

[audience member] Wow.

‐Nice spell. ‐What a wand.

[howling]

Oh, my. Excellent.

Yup, that is clearly spooktastic.

[applause]

‐We're up next. ‐I'm so nervous.

We're going to do great,

especially now that I have this wand.

It feels way more magical.

And now our final contestant:

Vampirina Hauntley.

[applause]

Ahem.

I'm going to perform a friendship spell.

Thank you.

Alakazam, alaka‐zair,

a beautiful dance performed in the air.

Are we dancing?

I don't think so.

Alakazam, alaka‐zair,

a beautiful dance performed in the air.

Come on, wand.

Do the spell.

[audience groans]

Oh!

I'm sorry. I need a time‐out.

Vee.

Vampirina, are you all right?

I'm sorry, Nan.

I thought I could compete in the spelling bee.

But I can't.

Turns out I'm not very good with a wand.

My spell didn't work.

Well, of course it didn't work, batkins.

This isn't your wand.

I know. I switched it.

‐But why? ‐The other kids' wands

were super magical, monster‐y and amazing.

But mine was none of those things.

So I switched it with a wand that seemed more special.

But, batkins, your wand is special.

Because it's about you.

‐Your home. ‐Your friends.

Your music.

Your own wand is special because you're special.

That's where the magic truly is, my spider.

I do love everything I put into this wand.

It really is me.

Okay, I'll give it another try.

With my wand this time.

That concludes our competition‐‐

[Vampirina] Wait!

Madame Spook, I'd like to try my spell one more time.

If that's okay.

Of course it's okay.

Everyone, please welcome Vampirina...

‐again. ‐[applause]

[inhales and exhales]

Alakazam, alaka‐zair,

a beautiful dance performed in the air.

Whoo‐hoo! We're dancing.

‐That's my batkins! ‐Whoo‐hoo!

[Nanpire] Incredible.

[Nanpire laughs]

That was a total blast.

How did you get the spell to work this time?

I thought about what Nan said,

how my wand really is a part of me.

I felt the magic.

And now, the winner of the spelling bee is...

Phoebe!

I won!

‐[cackles] ‐Wow!

Oh, Batkins, I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, Nan. You were right.

All I had to do was use my own wand.

Remaining true to yourself

is the most magical thing you can do.

This calls for a celebration spell.

[giggles]

Oof! Oh, just‐‐

[croaks]

‐‐great.

‐[all laugh] ‐Oh, Demi!
