[Vampirina] "Vee Is For Valentines."

Heh heh! A flippity flip here,
a whippity whip there!

Ghoul morning, Chef Remy!

How's breakfast coming?

Oh, spooktacularly delicious, as always.

Excellent! It's Vee's first
Ghoulentine's Day at our new house,

so I want everything to be perfect.

Well, of course it will be perfect!

I have made everything with la amour.

That means love.

Uh, did someone say love? [giggles]

Because I've got ghost kisses
for everyone!

One for you...

and one for the chef.

-Why, thank you!
- Alors!

And one big Ghoulentine's Day ghost kissy

for my favorite gargoy--

[coughing] Ooh! Dusty!

Are you sure you don't want to get into
the Ghoulentine's Day spirit this year?

-I'm sure.
-Not even a big, ghosty hug?

-Nope.
-How 'bout a friendly pat on the back?

Forget it! I'm not a Ghoulentine's Day
kind of gargoyle.

[Boris] Where's my little lovebug?

Vee should be down any minute.

Well, I have two lovebugs, after all.

Happy Ghoulentine's Day!

Oh, Boris, you shouldn't have!

I'm just batty about you, darling.

Oh! Mwah!

Oh! Just look at them!

Couple of love-bats!

Agh! Too much lovey-dovey stuff.

This is why I don't like
Ghoulentine's Day!

Why'd I even get off
my perch this morning?

So you can open
all of your Ghoulentine cards?

Maybe next century.

I'd like spooky-shrieky, not mushy-gushy.

-[door opens]
-Ooh, Vee's coming!

Places, everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!

-[all] Huh?
-Valentine's Day?

Don't you mean
happy Ghoulentine's Day, Vee?

Today's Valentine's Day in Pennsylvania,

and we're exchanging valentines at school!

But don't worry, I still made everyone
ghoulenstines like I do every year.

I even made some
for Poppy and Bridget, too.

That's fangtastic, darling.

Happy Ghoulentine's Day,

and Valentine's Day!

Vampire kisses!

Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

Cream-filled chocolates
for my special spider.

Thanks, Papa!

Presenting for Ghoulentine's Day,

Chef Remy Bones Chef Remy scones!

Mm!

And from your favorite ghost,

a haunted hug and a spooky snug!

[chuckles] Thanks, Demi!

And an extra hug from Gregoria...

because we all know she doesn't like
Ghoulentine's Day.

Because gargoyles are
supposed to be rock solid,

not marshmallow soft!

Besides, when your arms are made of stone,

this cuddly stuff isn't easy!

Well, it's never too late to learn.

[doorbell screams]

Poppy and Bridget are here!

[both squeal]

Happy Ghoulentine's Day!

Ghoulentine's Day?

Uh-oh. I'm thinking this
a Transylvania thing again!

Oh! I hope it's not too scary!

Don't worry. Ghoulentine's Day

is like Valentine's Day,
except with monsters.

Ooh, and monsters are pretty good

at showing their friends
how much they love them,

if I do say so myself.

The best part about Ghoulentine's Day

is everyone gets a Ghoulentine!

Oh, wow!

[laughing]

That was the coolest valentine!

I mean, Ghoulentine ever!

So amazing!

And kinda scary.

But mostly amazing.

Vee makes the best ghoulentines!

Um, Vee, you can't hand
these out at school.

The magic inside might scare everybody,

including me again!

[chuckles] Don't worry,
those are just for you.

I made regular valentines, too.

I hope the kids at school like them

as much as everyone liked
my ghoulenstines back in Transylvania.

Oh, they will, I know it!

So, are you ready for
your first Valentine's Day, Vee?

So ready! Let's go!

Aah!

What is it, Vee?

Sorry. Vampires aren't used
to this much pink.

In Transylvania,
we decorate with raven black,

creepy purple, and eerie blue.

Pink, not so much.

Valentine's Day is pretty mushy
if you ask me.

[Edgar] Everywhere you look,
hearts, flowers,

more hearts!

And it's all pink!

My eyes can't take it! Argh!

[laughs] I guess that's how
they do it in Pennsylvania.

Happy Valentine's Day, class!

Love is in the air!

-[cheering]
-Aw, man!

All right, everyone has
a valentine basket on their desk.

Make sure you deliver a valentine
to everyone's basket.

Now, ready, set, valentine!

Eee! I can't wait!
My first valentine delivery!

I'll start with my two best friends.

One for you, and you.

Ooh! This is fun!

Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Gore!

Whoa! Talk about speedy delivery!

One for you! Can't forget you!

Here you go! For you! And you!

And I have one more valentine,
and it's for you, Edgar!

Really? I mean, ew! Blah!

[laughs] Here you go.

I'm all done!

Wow. You are fast.

Maybe you can help us?

Sure!

[growling]

Lookin' good!

Gettin' my spook on!

Oh, yeah! Tough stuff.

Whoa! Hey, now.

That was a good scare,

but can't you see a gargoyle
trying to work here?

They say love is in the scare,

and I am just spreading the love.

I told you, I'm not a Ghoulentine's Day
kind of gargoyle!

Maybe if you'd open
your ghoulentines you would be.

Come on, I'm gonna open mine!

Oh! This one's from King Pepe!

He sends his royal love from Egypt.

[gasps] A ghoulentine from Blobby!

Oh, and he even sent me some goo,
how sweet!

I've never sent anyone a ghoulentine.

Who'd send me one?

Well, for starters, you have one from V.

Look, here's mine!

Vee's ghoulentines are always the best!

I-- eh? This-- this isn't a ghoulentine!

Where's the magic and the bats

and the general spooky
fuzzy feeling I get?

"Happy Valentine's Day?"

Looks like this is meant for a human kid.

V must've put a valentine
in your envelope by mistake.

[gasps] But if I got a valentine,

what if there's a ghoulentine at school?

I gotta warn V!

All right, kids, it's the moment
we've all been waiting for.

Time to open valentines!

[all exclaiming]

[gasps]

Demi!

What are you doing here?

We have a teeny tiny
Ghoulentine's Day dilemma.

It appears you gave me a valentine,

which means some kid around here
is getting a ghoulentine!

What? Oh, no!

I must've put yours in the wrong envelope!

You can't let anyone in here
open one of those.

The magic inside was pretty surprising.

You mean scary. Really cool, but scary.

Oh! Last thing
I want to do is scare anybody.

We gotta find it, but who has it?

Hey! [laughs]

Are you sure you want to open that?

Nice! Thanks, Vampirina.

[girl screaming]

Oh, yeah, that doesn't sound good.

It's so cute! I love it, Vampirina.

You're welcome! Glad you like it,

'cause it's just a regular valentine.

What else would it be?

[Poppy] That was a close one.

I know, but the ghoulentine
is still around here somewhere.

[gasps] This can't be for me!

Look, a card from Miss Gaw!

Oh, she shouldn't have!

Well, do you think
I should send her flowers?

Uh, definitely!

You can never go wrong
with black stems or haunted tulips.

Does anybody see it?

[screams]

No, no, no, just me,
your typical ghoul about school!

Anyhoo, I counted your valentines, Vee.

All of them have been opened
except for one.

Then who has it?

Edgar!

Edgar, wait!

Huh?

-Hey, V.
-[both gasp]

I'm knee-deep
in all this lovey-dovey stuff.

Roses are red, violets are blue?

Nothing original!

Wait! You know what's original?

Our valentine, uh, dance! Dance!

Yeah!

Uh, valen-time to boogie!

Here, little bats! This way, batikins!

Come to Demi! Whoa!

Oh, yeah! Like this!

Valentine dances?

What will they think of next?

Whew! That one's from me.

"Goblins are green, vampires are blue,

your spooktacular friend,
happy Valentine's Day to you."

Hmm, it's a big heart,

but it's spooky and awesome, too.

If more valentines were like this,

I really wouldn't mind
Valentine's Day. Thanks, Vee.

I guess this is a pretty good
Valentine's Day after all.

Yeah, if my brother likes a valentine,

then that's something to be proud of.

Huh, if only we could get
another certain someone

to love Ghoulentine's Day
as much as we do.

Well, I'll be a ghoulentine ghost!

[sniffling] This ghoulentine stuff

really hits you right in the heart,

even if it is made of stone.

I got one from Zombie-onca and Igor.

Even my buddy Wolfgang sent one.

I guess what they say is true.

love is love is love is love.

[screams]

Here's some more valentines to open

from me and Bridget.

You too?

Come on, gargoyle hug.

I'm really feeling the love now.

Loving our friends
is what monsters do best,

and what Valentine's Day is all about.

[Vampirina] "Scarestitute Teacher."

Okay, kids, a reminder,

my all-teacher band, the Math Men,

has a concert out of town,

so I won't be here for a couple of days.

The school's going to find
a substitute teacher

-to take my place while I'm gone.
-[bell rings]

Alrighty then, be good!

I have a bat-tastic idea!

My mom could be our substitute teacher!

-Wow! Cool!
-Really?

Yeah! Mama was
the best scarestitute teacher

back in Transylvania.

She'd cover for Mr. Mummino
if he started to unravel,

or Miss Frankensen if she couldn't find
her head in the morning.

Those are really weird reasons
for a teacher to be absent.

[laughs]

You want me
to be a substitute for your class?

Yeah! You were the best
scarestitute teacher back home!

Will you do it, Mama?

I don't know.

Oh, it's been a while
since I've done any teaching.

But you're scary good at it!

-So scary good!
-The scariest!

You know, you're right.

I can do this!

I'm going to call the school right away!

-Really?
-Woo-hoo!

And tell your friends to get ready

for some spooky good teaching!

Wait, spooky good teaching? Here?

You don't think Mama's gonna bring

too much Transylvania to school, do you?

-[thunder crashes]
-Uh-oh.

Ghouly good morning, girls!

-Morning, Mrs. Hauntley.
-Hi!

Wow, it looks totally
haunt-mazing in here!

Thank you! I wanted to give you kids
the complete scarestitute experience!

Um, Mama, are you sure this isn't too...

Too what? Perfect? Scaretastic?

Too ghoul for school?

[chattering]

Never mind.

You're gonna be great!

Hi, everyone!

My name is Mrs. Hauntley,

and as you might've guessed,
I'm Vee's mom.

-Hi, Vee.
-[chuckles]

And I'll be your scarestitute,
I mean, substitute

while Mr. Gore is away.

The first lesson is music,

so I thought it would be fun
to study the sound of screams.

-[thunder crashes]
-[screams]

That scream sounds great,

but there's always room for improvement.

There's your basic eek,

but what really makes it spine-tingling

is using your diaphragm.

Observe.

Oh, aah!

See?

Now, let's take it from the top.

Scream Symphony No. 13.

Aah!

Aah!

[all scream]

Music to my ears!

Those are some beautiful screams.

Beautiful is not what I'd call it.

Do you think Mama's being
a little too, um...

Transylvanian right now?

She's doing fine! Don't worry about it.

Okay... I guess.

♪ Eek, eek, eek, eek ♪

Ah, next up on the lesson plan, history!

I'll be teaching you

all about the Transylvanian
kings and queens.

This is just like the ceremonial cape

that belonged
to King Constantine the Kooky.

He was followed by Stanislav the Stinky,

who was not a popular king.

Then there was Queen Magda the Mummy,

who led the Spooky Revolution.

I don't know what she's talking about.

Uh, Mama? Mrs. Hauntley?

That's not the history we were studying.

Oh, no. Of course not.

Thank you, Vampirina.

So, why don't we move on

to our last lesson of the day, science.

I know you're all very excited about
the volcano diorama,

so put on your goggles,
and this is a model

of Mount Transylvania.

Huh? Mount Transylvania?
Never heard of it.

Well, you are about
to hear it loud and clear!

Oh, no, that's frog's breath
and lizardwort!

When they're mixed together, they--

-[all scream]
-What's going on?

Oh, I got slime all over me.

My camera's covered in goo!

That's science for you!

If you're not slimed up,
you're not learning!

[chuckles] Right?

[session bell rings]

Ooh! It looks like time flies faster

than a vampire bat when you're having fun!

Class dismissed!

I'll see you all tomorrow.

-[all exclaiming]
-Goo! Ugh!

So, how'd it go?

Some of the kids looked a little lost

during the music part,
but screams can be tough.

Um, well...

Oh, you know what, it's fine.

I'll just revise
the scream lesson for tomorrow.

Oh, yeah!

Hey! You're home!

So, how was your mom?

Screamerific? No, no, goop-tastic!

-Spook-mazing?
-What's the matter?

Bat got your tongue?

Well...

Mama's teaching was screamerific

and goop-tastic, but that's the problem.

Why? What happened?

She taught us
everything on the lesson plan,

but it was all Transylvania stuff.

I could tell the other kids
were weirded out,

and they definitely didn't like
getting covered in slime.

What? Getting slimed is hilarious!

Of course it is, but we're monsters.

We like that kind of stuff.

I don't think humans do.

Mama was just so... monstery.

The kids in class definitely
noticed how different she was,

and I'm not so sure they liked it.

Ready to go, Mama?

Why aren't you ready for school?

I called and told them
that another substitute

would probably be a better fit than me.

Huh? How come?

I just don't think I'm right

for the Pennsylvanian way of teaching.

Your classmates will be happier
with a human teacher, anyway.

Okay, Mama.

Now, hurry up.

You don't want to be late.

Super speed out of here.

[door opens, closes]

[bell rings]

Vee, where's your mom?

She called the school and told them

to bring in a different
substitute instead.

It's probably for the best.

You know, for the human kids.

Hello, students.

I'm your new substitute teacher,
Ms. Fincher.

I see in your lesson plan
that you've been working

on volcano dioramas?

Yeah. Things got a little messy yesterday.

I can see why!

Dioramas are too exciting
and dangerous for school,

with the sharp corners and all the paste
you have to use.

It's just-- oh!-- so sticky, you know?

Instead, I'll be reading you facts
about volcanos from this book,

though maybe we should still
put on your safety goggles.

These pages are pretty old,

and I wouldn't want us
to get dust in our eyes!

But, but, the diorama!

I've been looking forward to it all week!

No squawking while I'm reading!

Now... [clears throat]

"A volcano is a rupture in the crust

of a planetary mass object such as Earth."

Whew, that was the slowest day
of school ever!

I almost fell asleep!

Me, too.

I was just a couple of minutes

from a full-on bat nap.

Hey, Vee, why wasn't
your mom teaching today?

-Yeah!
-Where'd she go?

Oh, um, I don't think
she'll be coming in anymore.

Aw, man, that's such a bummer.

Really? It didn't look like you were
into what she was teaching.

I guess it was pretty different,

but that's what made it fun!

It didn't make me fall asleep
like Ms. Fincher's voice.

Yeah, I even missed all the screaming.

It grows on you. Eek! Bah! Aah!

[laughs]

So you liked her as a teacher?

It wasn't too weird?

She made school different and exciting,

you know, kind of like
when we first met you!

Hey, Poppy, we gotta get
Mama to come back to school.

That's the most exciting thing
I've heard all day!

[Vampirina] Mama, you have to come back
to school and teach again.

Yeah, all the kids miss you,
Mrs. Hauntley.

-They do?
-Of course!

-You're the best!
-Mm, I don't know.

I overheard what you said yesterday.

[Oxana] I think you were right.

I'm not the best teacher for human kids

and Pennsylvanian classrooms.

But you are! And...

I'm sorry for saying that stuff.

The thing is, Mama,
I got a little embarrassed

by all the Transylvanian stuff
you brought to class,

but I shouldn't have.

The kids at school reminded me

that they love me because I'm different,

and I love you
because you're different, too.

Oh, that's really sweet, Vee.

Thank you for saying that.

I'm proud of you.

It's true! The vampire way mixed
with the human way

is the best combination for school!

Hmm! Best combination, huh?

So, did your mom come back
as our substitute today?

[laughs] You'll see.

Ghoulish greetings, class!

[all cheering]

I know the last volcano
had a little more purple

and slime than you're used to,

so we'll try it again,

but I'll need a couple helpers.

Bridget, Edgar?

Aah! I mean, sure!

Yes!

Here you go, Edgar.

Oh, no, frog's breath!

That'll make the slime
explode again, won't it?

Just wait.

And a regular old
Pennsylvanian ingredient for Bridget.

Go ahead and mix them up!

Whoa!

[students exclaim]

[laughs]

Yes, Bridget?

Um, I was just wondering
if we could do the scream lesson again.

Ah! Of course we can.

Okay, class, just like we practiced.
[clears throat]

[Oxana] One and a two and a--

[students screaming and laughing]

[closing theme music]
