[Vampirina] "The Woodsie Way."

OK, I have a hat, flashlight,

and my new hiking boots.

Can't forget your sleeping bag.

Or your pillow.

Now I just need... my Woodsie map!

I think I'm ready for my first
Woodchuck Woodsie camping trip!

And your trusty chaperone
is ready, too!

I'm quite the outdoors-ghost,
if I do say so myself. [laughs]

Wait. A ghost as a chaperone?

Well, more like your secret
and very handsome chaperone

that nobody'll see. [chuckles]
E-Except you and Vee, of course.

Which is a shame, because I am really
loving this bandana. Whoo-hoo!

[giggles] Demi used to come along
on all my trips back in Transylvania.

And we're gonna have
the most terror-ific time.

I've got your camping cauldron packed,

plenty of spell books,
an enchanted night light. Ooh!

Can't forget the bat-hat
and wing warmers!

It gets pretty chilly
hanging from a tree at night.

[laughs]
Demi, I'm not gonna sleep as a bat.

I've got a sleeping bag and a tent.

But that's not how vampires go camping!

But it's how Woodchuck Woodsies do it.

I'm gonna do this camping trip
the Woodsie Way.

I really want to earn a badge
without using any of my vampire powers.

Wow! That's awesome, Vee.

So, you're not gonna
turn into a bat at all?

Nope! [chuckles] Whoops.

Just... getting it out of my system!

But Vee, you're a vampire!

And trust me, you're not gonna want
to leave home

without a magic map!

Don't worry. That's what my
Woodchuck Woodsie gear is for.

I have everything I need!

♪ I'll earn my Woodsie badge
The human way with ease ♪

♪ A little human walk
Through human woods ♪

♪ Will be a human breeze ♪

♪ No magic map or wings
That flap for me ♪

♪ I mean, how hard
Could being human really be? ♪

♪ I don't need witches brew
Or super strength at all ♪

♪ I'll just make
Scores and scores ♪

♪ Of human s'mores
That do not creep or crawl ♪

♪ I don't need spells or speed
To climb a tree ♪

♪ I mean, how hard
Could being human really be? ♪

♪ I have gone vamping
Next to Transylvanian streams ♪

♪ Sea Monsters swim ♪

♪ Beneath the floating cliffs we climb ♪

♪ We wear our banshee boots ♪

♪ Complete
With shrieks and screams ♪

♪ Till it starts raining bats
And frogs or even smile ♪

-[both] Ew!
-♪ Who needs a flying broom ♪

♪ To take a little hike ♪

♪ I won't sleep upside-down
But on the ground ♪

♪ All snug and human-like ♪

♪ No need for charms
Or any sorcery ♪

♪ I mean, how hard
Can being human ♪

♪ Really be ♪

-Come on!
-[both giggling]

OK, I think we're ready
to raise our tent!

One, two, three!

Well, look at you, Vampirina.

What an excellent tent!

This calls for a Woodsie
"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

[all] Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

You're doing amazing, Vee.

Getting a Woodsie "Whoo Whoo"
right off the bat is a big deal!

Did somebody say "bat"?

Oh! Sorry! Thought that was my cue.

[humming]

Demi, what's all this?

Oh, I know I was supposed to leave
all the magic stuff at home,

but what's camping without
a little, you know, pizazz?

Creepy cocoa, anyone?

Warms you to the bone!

Thanks, but Woodchuck Woodsies
don't use magical cauldrons.

[Edna] Oh, Woodsies!

It's time for our hike! Gotta go!

Now, remember, everyone has a chance
to earn a hiking badge today.

But first, we need a Woodsie
to lead our hike.

I'm ready, Ms. Peepleson!

I've already picked a trail.

It'll take us right
to Silver Spring Falls!

Oh, a waterfall! Excellent!

Then, let's be on our Woodsie way.

Do I hear a "Whoo" coming on?

[all] Woodchuck Woodsies,
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

[gasps] Our first landmark!

That's a pretty spooktacular tree.

Well, it is kinda dead.

And easy to remember!

We'll look for it on our way back
so we can know which way to go!

Excellent hiking skill, Vampirina.

Thanks! I think now's
a good time for a water break.

[sighs] The great outdoors!

Enjoying the hike, Demi?

Loving it! I-It's like
I am one with nature.

Aah!

[laughs nervously]

Oh, dear.
Looks like this trail is blocked.

Maybe it's time to head back.

Uh, but we haven't made it
to the waterfall yet.

I'm sure there's something we can do.

Psst! Vee! Need any help
getting over this pesky log?

'Cause I brought spells!

How about the floating charm, huh?

You and the Woodsies can soar right
over and be on your way?

Demi, I can't do a floating charm
in front of the Woodsies.

But maybe there is a way
over this log!

Using my Woodsie skills!

Feels strong as a skeleton!

Everybody ready to get some air?

[grunts]

[grunts] Unh!

Works like a charm!

[gasps] Ohh!

Except it's not a charm at all.

Good thinking, Vee.

[all grunting]

Oh, my! Whoo!

[grunts] Whoo!

Vampirina, aren't you just
full of surprises?

Thanks! 'Cause I've got another one!

Monster-licious Trail Mix!

-Yum!
-I'm so hungry!

You're totally gonna earn a badge!

Mmm! They should make
a Monster-licious Trail Mix badge,

'cause you'd get that, too!

Thanks! I'd say doing things
the Woodsie way

is going pretty well!

OK, so you didn't need
the spell book,

but I need a snack! [sighs]

Who knew hiking would be so tiring?

You're not even hiking! You're floating!

Hey, it's harder
than it looks, folks.

-[munches]
-[all laugh]

[Vampirina] Hmm...

[Poppy] Which way should we go?

It looks like maybe, uh...

this way!

Wait! No, uh... this way.

[owl hooting spookily]

-OK.
-Great!

Are you sure you don't want
to check the magic map

to see if you're going the right way?

Mm-mmm. If I use magic,
I wouldn't be using my Woodsie skills.

Plus, I already have a map.

Oh, you mean the kind
that no one can fold back up?

[grunting] Come on!

I can do this.

But this map is pretty fancy!

Oh! It'll even reroute you
if you run into a zombie swamp.

Zombies, uh, wait. Hold on.
It-- it's still on Transylvania settings.

Oh, they're on in--
There! Are you sure?

-Sure as a shriek!
-[chuckles]

[sighs] OK. Disappearing now.

OK. The waterfall's gotta be this way.

[creepy noises]

[Edna gasps] Well, isn't this delightful?

What an adorable bridge!

Awesome! Can we cross it, Mom?

-Um...
-Why don't I cross first

and make sure everything is A-OK?

So far, so good!
Just lovely-- Ooh!

[all] Ooh!

[laughs nervously] Stay put, Woodsies!

And I guess I will, too. Oh, dear.

What should we do?

Maybe we can make stepping stones!

-Help me with this rock!
-[both grunting]

Oh, no. Now what?

Don't worry, my little Woodsies.

Uh, remember, it's always important
to remain calm in an emergency.

-[ribbets]
-Aah! Frog! Help!

[clears throat] I mean,
we will work this out

-the Woodsie way!
-[ribbets]

Aah! Save me!

Ohh, this is all my fault.

I definitely led everyone the wrong way.

Now your mom's stuck!
We don't have a raft

or a rope, or a boat--

But we do have a vampire.

I think it's time to use some magic, Vee.

But there's gotta be a way.
We're Woodchuck Woodsies!

And Woodchuck Woodsies
use all of their skills in an emergency.

Poppy's right.
Woodsies do whatever they can

to help their friends.

[sighs] OK. But I'm
gonna need some help.

-Demi.
-[sighs] Don't worry.

I'm taking all the magic stuff
back to camp.

Hold on! We have an emergency.

Ms. Peepleson is stuck!
I'm gonna need that spell book.

[gasps] But what about your badge?

That doesn't matter now.
I gotta do this the Vee way.

Whoo-hoo! Vee is back!

[Edna] Ohh, dear!

Uh-oh! We have to hurry!

Poppy, Bridget!
Get all the rocks you can find.

Demi, you're with me. Everybody ready?

We know what to do.

We need to distract Edna
and the Woodsies.

Aye, aye, Vee!

-Boo! Boo! Boo!
-[bats chirping]

-Bats! Ohh!
-[ribbet]

-Bat! It's a bat!
-Aah!

[both grunting]

Is this rock big enough?

Perfect. But we need a few more.

Now, time for a spell.

Ohh! Ohh!

Ooh, bats! Aah!

"Like a feather, fly together!

Like a boat, stay afloat!"

You did it! [laughs]

-Demi!
-Time to skedaddle!

Miss Peepleson!
You can come back to shore now.

Vampirina? You did this?

With my friends' help.

It's a Woodsie miracle!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ohh.

My munchy-kins. I thought
I'd be on that bridge forever.

And those bats! [sighs]

I think I've had
enough excitement for one day.

Let's head back to camp.

-[ribbets]
-Preferably, as fast as we can.

I got this, Demi.

Look, the spooky tree!

If we hike towards it,
we'll get back to camp.

Then Woodsies, march!

[all] Woodchuck Woodsies!
Whoo Whoo Whoo! [laughs]

[Edna] What an exciting hike!

Now, time for badges!

I would like to present Hiking badges
to Bridget, Poppy, Renee, and Tiffany.

That leaves Vampirina.

It's OK, Ms. Peepleson.

I'm sorry I led everyone the wrong way.

I really didn't do this hike
like a true Woodsie.

You don't have to give me a badge.

Well, we all make mistakes.

How we fix them is what
being a Woodsie is all about.

So, I'm going to give you
a different badge.

Today, you showed
composure and courage.

You've earned the Emergency Badge!

-All right, Vee!
-Wow!

-Great job, Vee!
-Yeah, Vee!

Woodsie Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

I always knew she was spooktacular.

Now, who's ready for s'mores?

[all] Me!

Me! [giggles]

Shh!

[gasps]

[Vampirina] And this'll definitely be

a Woodsie camping trip to remember!

Especially me!

The most stylish ghost in the forest.

[laughs] Oh, and you, for, you know,

-earning your little badge and everything.
-[all chuckle]

I guess I did need
my vampire gear after all.

We knew you could do it
the Woodsie Way.

As long as you did it the Vee way, too.

Thanks. Hey, Demi.

Do you still have
that enchanted nightlight?

You bet your bats, I do!

Isn't that using magic?

Since we're already using magic,
what's a little more?

-Wow!
-Cool!

[all giggling]

[Vampirina] "TNN."

OK, what do you want to watch first
for our movie night?

Vampablanca, Dial "V" for Vampire,
or Citizen Fang?

Uh, why don't you pick? Heh.

-Vampablanca, it is!
-[computer screams]

Vee, looks like you got an e-mail.

You mean an "eek"-mail!

Mama let me set up an account
the other day.

[gasps] And it's from Frankie!

-Frankie?
-Who's that?

[Vampirina] She's my oldest friend
from Transylvania!

Frankie says she's gonna be
visiting Pennsylvania soon,

and wants to know if she can
stay with us while she's here!

We get to meet one of your friends
from Transylvania!

That'll be fun!

Or... scary.

-Or both.
-Frankie is the best!

We used to do everything together.

Ghoul Guides, Spook-away Camp,
Scary-skating.

I haven't seen her since I moved.

But now's our chance to catch up!

Her mom's dropping her off tomorrow.

Ooh, I can't wait to see
our spooky little Frankie Bolt!

I'm sure she's grown
quite a bit since we moved.

Ooh, she's probably lost
her baby bolts by now!

-[doorbell screams]
-Eee! That's her!

Places, everyone!

-[Vampirina] Frankie!
-OMZ! It's Vee!

-In the freezing flesh!
-[giggles]

[both giggling]

You remembered our spookerific
double-secret clawshake!

Of course, I did! [laughs]

Frankie, you remember
Mama and Papa.

-Hello, Frankie!
-Ghoulishly great to see you again.

-And Demi and Gregoria.
-[gasps]

How could I forget!

You two are totally on poltergeist point!

-[chuckles]
-That's a good thing, I guess?

So, Frankie, what brings you
to Pennsylvania?

Well, I followed in my dad's footsteps
and became a Junior Reporter!

I'm doing a special report
on life in Pennsylvania for TNN!

The Transylvania News Network!

-Wow!
-Impressive!

[gasps] Wait a minute.

Your dad's the one and only
Franken Bolt, isn't he?

[gasps] Transylvania's
number one newsman!

Ohh, I'm his biggest fan!

[grunts] "For TNN, I'm Franken Bolt.
Stay scary, Transylvania."

-[giggles] What a sign-off!
-[laughs]

You know, I'm even working
on one of my own.

[clears throat] "For TNN,
this is Demi Hauntley, ghosting out!"

-[laughs]
-I'm working on it.

I can't wait to see you
on Transylvania Television!

We're simply spooked to have our very own
Junior Reporter stay with us!

We'll get the guest room all ready

so you can film your news reports
from in there!

That would be frank-tastic! Thanks!

Wow, Vee! Your life
in Pennsylvania looks terror-ific!

It took some getting used to,

but now, it's pretty great,
thanks to Poppy and Bridget!

-[doorbell screams]
-That's them now!

OMZ, I'm dying to meet them!

What are they? Mummies?
Trolls? [gasps] Unicorns?

-Well, uh...
-[both] Hi!

They're... humans?

Well, yeah.
This is Pennsylvania, after all.

-What's wrong?
-Oh, um...

Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all.

I'm Poppy. And this is Bridget.

Vee told us all about you.

Are you coming with us to school today?

Yep! Mr. Gore said it would be OK
for Frankie to join us in class,

so she can get the full
Pennsylvania experience!

Mm. One spooky sec.

I just need to bolt upstairs
and film the first part of my news report.

Staying on top of the story
like a true news-monster.

Mmm. [clicks tongue]

I'm kid reporter Frankie Bolt
with a special report

on life in Pennsylvania.

Today, I'll be going undercover
at a human school

to confirm what most
Transylvanians believe:

Humans and monsters can't be friends.

So, this is a human school, huh?

No moat, no drawbridge,

no trolls making you
solve riddles before entering?

Nope! No monsters at all!

Oh! [chuckles] Which is why
you might want to cover up

your neck bolts and stitches.

Right. Because humans get
so jumpy and scared?

Something like that, yeah.

[school bell rings]

I better put my ghost camera
on invisible mode, then, too.

Wow. There sure are
a lot of humans in here.

Morning, class.
As you probably noticed,

we have a friend of Vampirina's
visiting us today.

Vee, why don't you have your f--

[screams] Spider!

[Edgar] It's in your hair!

Aah! Whoa! Uh!

I'll help you, Mr. Gore!

[kids screaming]

This just in:
Humans are easily spooked.

One of the many reasons
they can't be friends with monsters.

[Mr. Gore exclaiming]

I'm glad Edgar was able
to get that spider.

Even if we did accidentally
knock off Mr. Gore's glasses.

Class normally isn't that exciting.

Except for my butterfly mask!

-Mmm.
-[Edgar] Mwah ha ha!

[Poppy] What's that?

I'm Edgar, the werewolf!

-[all scream]
-Roar!

My art project is
scary-original, as usual.

Mmm.

Wow! Humans are even scared
of a sweet, little werewolf mask?

Ooh! Papa packed chocolate eyeballs today.
Who wants some?

Now, that's what I call
a monster-licious lunch!

Yeah! After getting to know Vee,
I gotta say, I love those, too.

[both giggling]

-[giggles]
-[Edgar] Hey, Vee.

I want to go see
Night of the Cursed Mummy on Friday.

Who's in? It's about an evil mummy
who haunts a bunch of archeologists

when they get trappedin a pyramid!

-Mwah, ha, ha, ha, ha!
-[screams]

Edgar, this is no way
Mom is gonna let you

see something so scary.

A mummy? Scary?

Anyway, I'm out!

[school bell rings]

Breaking story! Humans even make
sweet ol' mummies

the bad guys in their scary movies!

Explains why
they're so jumpy and screamy

and so afraid of us.

I can feel it in my stitches.

Humans really don't
get along with monsters at all!

Frankie, how'd you like
hanging out with humans today?

Oh, um, no surprises.

It's definitely gonna make
a scary good story

for my first piece as a Junior Reporter.

That's so spooktacular!

I can't wait to see
your broadcast tonight.

Ooh, our own little Frankie on the news!

I'm so happy!
It's-- it's like I'm floating!

[chuckles] Demi, you are floating!

Oh! Right! Forgot I can do
that sort of thing.

[clears throat]
Are you excited, Gregoria?

Of course. You can't tell?

Hold onto your bats! It's starting!

[Franken]
Ghoul evening, and welcome

to the Transylvania News
Network's Evening News!

I'm Franken Bolt. Tonight,
we have a special report.

Humans: Can they be friends
with monsters?

-Huh?
-That's... weird.

For this, we go to Frankie Bolt,

reporting from Pennsylvania.

Thanks, Dad. I spent the day
at a human school

just to see how easily spooked
humans are.

Can humans and monsters
be friends? Let's see.

[all exclaiming]

-The werewolf! Roar!
-[screaming]

-Mwah, ha, ha, ha!
-Aah!

And that confirms it.
Humans and monsters can't be friends.

Monsters can't be friends with humans?

That's not true at all.

Why would Frankie say a thing like that?

Yeah. She was with us all day.

Oh, you girls are two
of my favorite living things ever.

[straining] Thanks, Demi.

But since we're living things,
we need to breathe.

Ohh! Heh. Sorry. [chuckles]

I don't know what happened,

but we better stop Frankie's report
before she says anything worse.

This is Frankie Bolt, signing off.

-Goodnight!
-Oh, no! We're too late.

Hey, Vee. Did you see my report?

We came up here to stop your report.

Frankie, why did you say
all that stuff about humans?

Because it's the truth.

All day, I saw humans
being spooked by monster stuff.

There's no way they can be friends
with monsters.

That's what everyone says back home.

But that doesn't mean it's true.

Humans can get scared sometimes.

Especially humans like me.

But being scared never kept us
from being friends with Demi.

-Or Gregoria.
-Or me.

Frankie, maybe you were so set
on filming stuff at school

that matched what you heard
back home,

you totally missed
a monster/human friendship

that was right in front of you
the whole time.

Like, huh, how Poppy
and Bridget stopped by

so we could all walk to school together.

Or how Vee shared her chocolate eyeballs
with us at lunch.

And how Edgar invited us all
to see a movie together.

OMZ! Let me check my sources.

Wow. And even though
you were scared of Vee at first,

you still wanted to be her friend?

Yeah. We knew even though
she's a monster,

she's still Vee.

It took some getting used to,
you know,

seeing one of your best friends
is a vampire.

But now, I'm not scared at all.

And now, we do everything together.

Just like you and I used to do.

OMZ! I'm so, so sorry.

You took a chance
being friends with a monster,

so I should take a chance
on being friends with a human.

That is, if you still want to be friends.

-Happy to have you.
-The more monsters, the merrier!

-Never thought I'd say that.
-[all laughing]

I hope you can come back
soon, Frankie.

Maybe you can meet even more humans!

You bet my bolts, I will!

-[all laughing]
-Awesome!

I hope Frankie was able
to convince TNN

to stop reporting false stuff
about humans.

There's only one way to find out.

Eerie evening, ghosts and ghouls.

Our top story tonight is all about
the Zombie Olympics.

But first, we have a follow-up report
by Frankie Bolt. Frankie?

My follow-up report is an apology.

Yesterday, I said some things
about humans

that were totally not true.

Humans might be a little jumpy,

but it doesn't mean that they can't
be friends with monsters.

I got the chance
to meet two special humans

who are now my friends.

-Ahh! That's us!
-On TNN! Wow!

I think everyone in Transylvania
should try meeting a human one day.

You'll see how awesome they can be!

This is Frankie Bolt, signing off.

There you have it, folks.

Humans and monsters can be friends.

-All right!
-Yay!

She did it! Atta girl, Frankie!

She's my favorite new spook-caster!

That was some stone-cold reporting!

I knew Frankie would come through!

Hopefully, Frankie's report
will change everyone's mind.

And maybe more monsters
will give humans a chance.

-Like you did.
-Which is good.

Because being friends
with humans is the best.

And that's the truth!

[all chuckling]
