[Vampirina] "Fang Ten."
Whew!
I don't remember it being this hot
last year in Pennsylvania.
[Boris] The human weatherman said
it will be extra sunny this weekend.
So we stocked up on super‐strength vampire sunblock.
And I found this. Guess it doesn't work on ghosts.
But it does work on gargoyles.
Nothing cools a monster down better
than my ice‐cold slimesicles.
‐[Vampirina] Thanks, Chef Remy. ‐Oh, no. Brain freeze!
‐Ah! ‐Demi,
you don't have a brain.
Oh. In that case, mm!
The slimesicles, the hot weather.
This reminds me of Screechy Beach.
Oh, that used to be quite our old haunt.
What's Screechy Beach?
Only the most bat‐tastic Transylvanian beach
this side of the full moon.
The perfect place to lay in the sand
and rest your weary bones.
Oh, and there are all kinds of food stands.
Awesome, epic sandcastle‐building.
And, of course, surfing.
You know, your mama used to be quite the surfer.
Oh, that was hundreds of years ago.
Whoa! Like on a surfboard, in the waves, riding the water?
Your mom was a legend.
Any monster who was anyone had heard of her.
I wish I could've seen that.
Wait a spooky second.
Why don't we go to Screechy Beach this year?
Well, no one is booked at the Scare B&B this weekend.
And we haven't been in so long.
Plus, we're all out of slimesicles.
I think it's a spooktacular idea.
[excited chatter]
[Vampirina] Wow.
Yay!
I haven't had slimesicles in ages.
I just made you some this morning.
Oh, I am going to find a place to relax.
[barking]
And I'm going to get started on my sandcastle.
Want to join me, Vee?
Maybe in a little bit.
I'm really excited to watch Mama surf.
Do you surf too, Papa?
I tried, but I totally wiped out,
and your mom had to come rescue me.
Actually, it's how we met.
[laughs] Aw.
Nowadays, I prefer to keep my wings dry
and cheer from the sand.
Which you are the very best at.
What do you say, Mama?
Can we see your monsterific moves, please?
All right, if you insist.
Be back in two shakes of a bat's tail.

Whoo‐hoo. Incredible!
That was fang‐tabulous!
Oh, I wish I could do that.
Whoa, gnarly wave.
That was totally frighteous.
Narcisa. Cosmina.
Ghoul evening.
Was that the upside‐down bat‐tail slide we just saw?
Yes.
I'm abso‐spookly amped.
What's an upside‐down bat‐tail slide?
That's your mom's spooky famous surf move.
It's totally boo‐dacious.
Terror‐rifically tubular.
Oh, you two can really fang ten yourselves.
Is Mama speaking another language?
Well, that's just how monster surfers talk to each other.
I don't understand them either.
I can translate for you.
Let's see. "Bodacious" means "awesome."
"Tubular" also means "awesome."
And "fang ten" is... some kind of house plant?
Are you learning to surf, Vee?
Your mom was your age when she started.
You and your mom are so similar.
I bet you'll be a spook‐tastically rad surfer too.
You really think so?
Mama, will you teach me how to surf?
I want to do the upside‐down bat‐tail slide
so I can be just like you.
Hm. Surfing is very difficult.
But I'd be happy to take you under my wing.
Yay!
[sighs]
[barking]
[Oxana] All right, batkins.
First, we practice on the sand.
When you're out on the water, you paddle out.
Then slide forward and stand up.
[Vampirina] Wow!
You're amazing, Mama.
Now, go ahead. Give it a try.
[whimpers]
‐Oh, shrieks! ‐Oh, most monsters stumble
the first time.
Don't worry, you'll get it.
[grunts]
‐Yeah! ‐Go, Vee!
That's a big improvement, batkins.
Thanks.
What about me? How am I doing?
‐Look at this. ‐Nice technique, Demi,
but you may want to aim a little higher.
‐Oops. ‐[all laugh]
So, Mama, what about all those spooky‐cool surf moves you did?
Oh, yes, there was the alley‐goop.
Whoo!
The tombstone flip.
Ew!
‐Whoa. ‐And my signature move,
the upside‐down bat‐tail slide.
Whoo!
Oh, that's the one I want to do.
Whoa! Oh!
Oh, that needs work.
[both laugh]
How long did it take you to do that move, Mama?
Well, legend has it that Oxana invented
the upside‐down bat‐tail slide on her first day.
Totally boo‐dacious, Demi.
Yeah, bat‐tastic, Demi.
You make it look so easy.
[barks]
Huh?
Ah! Sacre boo!
Wolfie, Wolfie, give me that back!
Now that we've practiced on the sand,
let's catch some waves.
You really think I can, Mama?
Don't worry, Vee.
Every surfer has to try their moves
out on the water to really learn.
Ooh! Does that mean I can try the upside‐down bat‐tail slide?
I think that's a little too hard for you right now, batkins.
But you did it on your first day.
Well, most monsters need to work up
to a complicated move like that.
Why don't we start with the basics...
right after I get another coat of Mr. Blob's Surf Wax
onto my board.
Be right back, screamheart.
[sighs]
All right, almost done.
Just finishing the last detail.
Perfect.
‐Hey! ‐[Remy gasping]
Pardonne‐moi.
That is my arm.
[Wolfie barks]
Wolfie! Get back here with my foot!
Any of you want to help me rebuild my haunted sandcastle?
Sandcastles are great.
It's just, I was hoping surfing would be my thing.
Aw, and it still can be, Vee.
Everybody said Mama was so good at it right away.
But it's so much harder for me.
Moms and daughters aren't always alike.
My mom loved guarding bell towers.
You wouldn't catch me doing that.
Too much ringing in my ears all day.
But I want to be just like my mom.
Not every monster can do what she does in the water.
And you haven't even been in the water yet.
Wait a second, maybe that's it.
Once I get out on the waves,
I'm sure I'll be able to surf just like Mama.
And I'll be able to do the upside‐down bat‐tail slide too.
Yeah. Wait, that‐‐
That's not what I meant!
Don't worry.
I'm a really good swimmer,
and I can turn into a bat if I get into trouble.
Vee, wait! Uh‐oh.
I'm on it.
Gee, the water sure is boring, huh?
How about we go back and sample some more slimesicles?
But this is my chance to prove that I'm just like Mama,
with the upside‐down bat‐tail slide.
Whoa! Whoa!
‐This is‐‐ ‐Vampirina!
‐‐harder than I‐‐ Whoa!
Oh, batkins, are you all right?
You shouldn't go in the water without me.
You scared me, and not in the fun way.
I'm sorry, Mama.
I was trying to do the upside‐down bat‐tail slide.
But why, batkins?
I wanted to be just like you.
But I couldn't understand your surfing language,
and I didn't get the surfing pose on the first try,
and I couldn't even do your special move.
[sighs]
I guess I'm not like you at all.
Oh, just because you aren't naturally good at surfing
doesn't mean we aren't alike.
There are lots of things that come easily to you,
but for me, they take a lot of work.
But you're good at everything.
Oh, I can't play the spookylele like you can.
And you know what I did when I learned I wasn't so good
at spookylele?
I tried to learn the hardest song on the first day.
It did not go well.
That's when Gregoria first got her stone earplugs.
[giggles] I never knew that.
So you see? We both want to be the best at everything we do.
But every vampire learns at her own pace.
It doesn't matter if it takes you one day
or one year to learn to surf,
or if you never surf at all.
I'm proud of you just the way you are.
Thanks, Mama.
I think I would still like to try surfing.
But I'll start with the basics.
Will you still teach me?
You bet, my little beach bat.
Steady. Okay, now, slowly stand up on the board
like we practiced.
Whoo‐hoo!
Yay, Vee! That's my girl.
I did it!
I caught my first wave!
That was so fun.
And totally, completely...
boo‐dacious.
Oh! Now you're getting it.
That was bat‐solutely incredible.
I'm the proudest vampire ever.
Attention, Screechy Beach.
This is my fangtastic family.
‐[bathers cheers] ‐[Vampirina giggles]
Thanks, Papa. Mama's right, you are good at cheering.
So, what do you think of surfing, Vee?
I love it.
But I think it would be way more fun
if we all did it together.
You heard the vampire.
Surf's up.
[Boris] Whoo! Yeah!
[grunting]
[barking]
[all cheer]
[howls]
[sighs]
‐[sniffing] ‐Ha‐ha‐ha!
Finally, the last one.
You mischievous mutt.
[laughs]
I hope Screechy Beach was as wonderful
as you imagined, Vee.
It was even better.
‐[Gregoria] You go, girl! ‐[excited chatter]
[Vampirina] "Science Rocks."
[Mr. Gore] Okay, kids, okay,
it's time for the announcement
you've all been waiting for.
Our special guest this Friday will be the one,
the only, Dr. Jem Geodopolis!
‐Huh? ‐What?
Rock and gem stone expert,
and president of the Pennsylvania Geological Society.
‐[crickets chirp] ‐[Mr. Gore] Hm.
Anyway, we'll be doing a little contest this week.
Your assignment is to come up
with a rock‐themed science project.
The most rocking project...
[chuckles]
...will be awarded first prize,
and the winner will present his or her project
to Dr. Geodopolis herself.
[excited chatter]
Maybe it'll be you, Vee. You're great at science.
Thanks. I am pretty proud of my science skills.
What are you going to do for your project?
I'm not sure yet. But I have lots of ideas.
Whatever it is, you'll rock it.
[all laugh]
Mama, I'm‐‐
‐Watch out! ‐Coming through!
Whoa!
‐Gotcha. ‐Got it!
Oh, nice catch, Vampirina.
Aunt Olga!
Nosy.
I didn't know you were visiting.
We were flying through town,
and Nosy really wanted to see you.
Aw, Nosy.
I'd love to spend all night playing,
but I have to get to work on my science project for school.
Oh! And what's our little mad scientist's latest project?
It has to be all about rocks.
So I'm going to use chemistry
to make a super‐special rock candy.
That sounds fang‐tastic, batkins.
But I don't want Nosy to be lonely.
Maybe Demi and Gregoria can help.
One of them can assist you in the lab
and the other can look after Nosy until you're finished.
[cooing and giggling]
[both] I'll help in the lab!
I just got this super‐stylish lab coat,
perfect for a lab assistant.
Demi!
Whoa! Hmph!
Okay.
Transylvanian Rock candy is easy.
You need sugar, water,
and a stick for the crystals to form on,
a dish to hold the mixture,
and enough time so the crystals can grow.
How much time we talking here?
Bedtime's approaching fast.
Need my boo‐ty sleep.
Rock candy can take a week to form,
but my monster chemistry book says
if we add a dash of rainbow essence,
it should only take an hour.
Ooh, sparkly.
Now we just have to figure out
which other edible Transylvanian ingredient
will give my project that extra something special.
Whoo‐hoo! Let's do it!
I know I want it to be a spooktacular,
special Vee discovery.
Mr. Gore says experimenting is an important part
of the scientific process.
So that's what I'm going to do.
First, let's try...
frog's breath.
‐Test tube, please. ‐Oh! That's my cue.
I love being a lab assistant.
Should I hand it to you like this, or like this,
or maybe like‐‐ Whoa!
Never mind.
Just a dash.
‐[frog croaks] ‐Ah!
Let's cross frog's breath off the list.
We'll try...
snapdragon oil.
Maybe this'll make my rock candy extra spooktacular.
Oh, I'm feeling good about this one.
Or should I say, feeling goo'ed.
That didn't work either.
I'm going to have to try adding every edible ingredient I have
to the rock candy solution until I get the right mixture.
[bubbling]
‐Oh. ‐[sighs]
Whoa! Aah!
Whoa!
Aw.
So, what's next?
Something a little less shocking, maybe?
We've tried every edible ingredient
in the potions cabinet,
and we're no closer to making something special
than when we started.
Sorry to interrupt, but Nosy really wanted
to see her favorite cousin.
[cooing and giggling]
And I wanted to see how your rock project is coming along.
Things aren't going well.
Chin up, Vee.
Science is all about testing to see what works
and what doesn't.
The fact that you're still trying
says more about you than‐‐ Nosy!
‐Nosy? ‐Uh...
No, no!
[giggling]
Nosy! Oh, stop!
Watch it. Get that baby.
Got you. Oh, no.
[Nosy cooing]
Oh! Got you!
[shudders]
How about we call this for the night?
Can I please stay up just one more hour
so I can see this final rock candy form?
It'll be here in the morning.
Okay.
‐[door opens] ‐[Demi] Vee, come quick!
Turns out I'm not such a bad lab assistant after all.
Or maybe her friend who's made of rocks
knows what she's talking about.
What's going on?
See for yourself. Come on!
I can't believe it.
I made an amazing rock candy.
One of my ingredients must've worked.
‐Which one? ‐Transylvanian tap water?
Huh. That's the last ingredient I thought would do the trick.
But it doesn't matter, because it worked.
I told you.
We both told her.
Wow, Vee, that's amazing.
I wish my project was that cool.
What is it?
My pet rock, Miss Cuddle Cakes the second.
[giggles] I should have known.
What about you, Poppy?
I researched all the geodes in our backyard
and catalogued them.
Cool.
What's yours, Edgar?
Uh...
I'm a rock star.
I think I misinterpreted the assignment.
Oh, beautiful geodes, Poppy.
Well done.
And last but not least, Vee.
Is‐‐ Is your rock candy glowing?
Sure is.
[Mr. Gore] It's beautiful.
[chuckles] Mind if I have a taste?
That's what it's here for.
Mm, mm, mm.
Oh, my.
This doesn't just look like it's glowing,
it tastes like it's glowing.
I think we have our winner.
‐Can I try? ‐Me too.
‐[girl] And me. ‐Everyone can have some.
I'll just make another batch tonight.
It was amazing.
Everybody wanted to try some,
and Mr. Gore selected my project
as the winner to present to Dr. Geodopolis.
Oh, I am so proud.
We knew you could do it.
And I'm sure your adorable lab assistant didn't hurt.
Never doubted you for a second.
Why, thank you.
I meant Vee, you goofy ghost.
So all we have to do is wait.
I don't understand.
I did everything the same as I did yesterday.
Didn't I?
Seemed the same to me.
Why don't you start from the beginning
and retrace your steps?
Good idea.
♪ Let's go back To the beginning ♪
♪ Redo what we did Yesterday ♪
♪ For results to be Repeatable ♪
♪ We work the scientific way ♪
♪ All our steps We must retrace ♪
♪ Set each beaker In its place ♪
♪ Put each test tube back The way it was ♪
♪ And think like A scientist does ♪
♪ I tried lots Of different potions ♪
♪ But none worked wonders By themselves ♪
♪ And then Nosy raced Around the room ♪
♪ Until she bumped Into the shelves ♪
♪ See right there The stardust spilled ♪
♪ In the mixture It distilled ♪
♪ Yes, that's it We've solved it now because ♪
♪ We thought ♪
♪ Like a scientist does ♪
You did it! It's glowing!
That's it.
Nosy must have knocked over this shooting stardust,
and I bet some of it got into my mixture.
But that means I didn't discover
the special rock candy ingredient.
Nosy did.
But you still figured it out.
You'll have plenty of glowing candy for tomorrow.
I can't be the winner if I didn't find
the special ingredient.
It was all a big accident,
not a super spooktacular, special Vee discovery.
What am I going to tell Mr. Gore and my class?
[school bell ringing]
[Poppy] Today's the big day, Vee.
Are you excited?
I‐I guess.
I mean, of course.
Super excited.
Make sure to wear this for your picture with Dr. Geodopolis.
We want everyone to know
you are a first‐place winning scientist.
Okay, kids.
It is my pleasure to introduce to you
the biggest rock star I know.
[laughs]
Dr. Jem Geodopolis!
‐[applause] ‐Thank you, Mr. Gore.
It is wonderful to be here.
I'm told I'm about to see something amazing.
Vampirina, is it?
That's me. But‐‐
Vampirina has always shown
such a special talent for the sciences.
But even I couldn't have predicted
something this special.
Mr. Gore, can I say something?
‐Oh, of course. ‐Thanks.
I know everybody is really excited about my rock candy.
But, uh, I shouldn't get credit for it.
Oh, don't be modest, Vee.
You made something amazing.
But I didn't. It was all an accident.
I spent all night trying to make an extra‐special rock candy,
but nothing worked.
And when I woke up the next day and saw the glowing candy,
I thought I did it. [sighs]
But when I tried to make it again, I couldn't.
So I retraced my steps.
That's when I realized my baby cousin
had accidentally spilled something
into one of the mixtures.
So it wasn't me who discovered the special ingredient.
It was Nosy.
I'm sorry, everyone.
You can have this back.
I don't deserve it.
You know, Vee,
some of the greatest discoveries in science history
were accidents.
Like microwave ovens.
If it weren't for those,
I don't know how I'd make dinner every night.
When you weren't able to recreate your experiment,
did you give up?
No.
You retraced your steps,
and worked backwards until you figured out
how to repeat your results, right?
Well, yes, but‐‐
That's what real scientists do every day.
We make mistakes all the time. That's how we learn.
‐It is? ‐Of course.
We all make mistakes.
But it's how you handled it that really matters.
Wow, I never realized that making a mistake
could be okay, or a good thing, even.
You're a true, young scientist, Vee.
Like all the greats.
Like Dr. Frankenstein?
[giggles]
I mean, like you, Dr. Geodopolis.
Now, how about that photo?
Don't forget this.
‐[applause and cheers] ‐[camera shutter clicks]
