[Vampirina] "The Curious Case
of the Giggles."

I spy with my spooky eye...

-Vee! Whatcha doin'?
-I'm getting my lab ready
for our B＆B guest.

A junior mad scientist named
Hydie Jekyll is coming today!

I want everything to be
in tip-top-terror shape.

If you ask me,
your chemistry set
looks handsomely shiny.

[laughs] Thanks.
I wonder what experiments Hydie
will want to conduct.

-[doorbell rings]
-Eek! Come on, Demi!

I'll be back for you, handsome!

-Hello!
-Bubbly beakers!

I'm just petrified
to meet you all. [straining]

What's in that thing,
a bunch of rocks?

-Allow a gargoyle to help.
-Thank you!

My name is Dr. Hydie Jekyll.

Well, I'm not
a doctor just yet.
So "Hydie" works too!

-Frightful to have you, Hydie.
-Hi, Hydie! I'm Vampirina.

I'm a bit
of a mad scientist myself.

What brings you all the way
to Pennsylvania, Hydie?

My first day at my new
Junior Mad Science Academy
is in a few days

and every student needs to bring
an original potion to class.

Ooh! I love school projects!
Can we see your potion?

That's the problem,
it's not done.

It's missing
one final ingredient.

I've tested every monster
ingredient from the Fear-iodic
table, but no luck.

So I just know the key to my
discovery is a human ingredient.

I've read all about
rare items like tree bark
that doesn't bark.

Or something called ketchup.
Do you know any of these?

Oh, ketchup.
Never heard of it.

[laughs] I've learned
a lot about human ingredients
since I moved to Pennsylvania.

I use them in my potions
all the time.

Perfect! With your knowledge
of the human world,

I'm sure as slime we'll
make an electrifying team.

Bonjour! Care for
a horror-d'oeuvre
before you go to the lab?

Don't mind if I do!
Let's see, I'll take this one.
Oh, and... no, no.

Yes, this one. And... whoa!

You just had to grab one more.

Mm! At least these
are screamalicious.

[all laugh]

[snorting laughter]

-Hydie?
-[laughing] Ooh!

Well, isn't that
the most adorable laugh?

It's a total roar!

[all laughing]

I got it!

Jeepers creepers!

We didn't know you
were part-troll, Hydie.

Well, I only transform
into a troll when I laugh.

Then when I stop laughing,
I transform back.

We've never heard or seen
a laugh like yours!

And those cackles!
Delightful!

[chuckles] Yep.

Snorts and cackles.
The best.

So, ready
to brew some potions?

Bat-solutely!
I can't wait to help you
finish your potion for school.

Me too. Me... too...

-So what's your potion, Hydie?
-Oh, it's something I've been
working on for a long time!

It's going to be my greatest,
ghouliest scientific discovery.

And it's never been done before.

It's also, um...
[whispers] top secret!

But don't worry.
I've brought what I have so far.

All we need to do is add a human
ingredient to a bit of this
potion and record our findings.

But how do we know
what ingredients to try?

Oh! How about a penny?
Or a teddy bear?

Or marshmallows! They look
like little versions of me!

-Totally adorable!
-[both laugh]

[snorts, clears throat]

According to my research,
if the potion glows
bright yellow,

we'll know I've
finally cracked it.

And if we want a yellow glow
for a monster potion,

we have to use
a yellow ingredient.

But I'm not sure
where to start.

We'll want to try a good mix
of yellow items
for the brightest glow.

Sounds like scary-good
scientific thinking to me!

-I concur!
-Then let's go
collect some samples!

-This is called butter.
-Hm... interesting.

-Never seen anything like it.
-Humans love it.

And I use it
on my ghost toast now!

According to my research,

it goes especially well with
Chef Remy's monster muffins.

Oh! So if we want to save some
for later, you know...

We can't eat the sample,
ya goofy ghoul.

It was just an idea!

Ooh! That's as yellow
as the slug slime
I tried in Transylvania.

It's reacting!
Maybe it's working!

We just need a yellow glow!

[all shout]

-Oops!
-I kinda like it.
What do you think?

[chuckles] No yellow glow,
but foam-tastic results.

-Right, Hydie?
-I... think... [giggles]

-That this foam is hilarious?
-[laughs]

[clears throat]
Yes. Hilarious.

Butter... negative.

Let's go collect
our next yellow ingredient!

This is a lemon tree.

Ms. Peepleson said we can have
as many lemons as we need.

Ah! Does it explode? Fly?

Nope, but they are delicious!

[groans] Ah, and sour!
So sour! Oops!

[snorts, clears throat,
laughs]

I have a ghoulishly good
feeling about this one.

To the lab!

Ah! Not even a little glow?

[laughing]

No yellow glow,
but we created yellow
tickling flowers!

And they smell like lemon!
[sniffs]

-[gasping]
-Uh-oh. Everyone duck!

-[loud sneeze]
-Ah!

-[grunts]
-[laughter]

Demi!

[laughing, snorting]

Ahem. Oops!
That was a close one.

[sighs] Back to work.
Lemon... negative.

Are you okay Hydie?
It's okay to laugh, you know.
Mad Science is fun!

Oh, I'm fine as a fang.

I just really have
to finish my potion
for my first day of school.

It's my most
important potion ever.

And so far the butter
and lemon produced
fascinating results,

but it didn't make
the potion glow yellow.
What ingredient is next?

Hm... Well, my dad
loves knitting with this.

Instead of spider lace,
humans use yarn for sweaters.

Oh! How peculiar!
And fuzzy.

Claws crossed this one works.

What in great gargoyles?!

[laughs] No yellow glow,
but definitely
a very stylish transformation.

-Don't you think, Hydie?
-[sobbing, snorting]

Oh! We can go to the Ghost Town
Rodeo with these mustaches!

-Yee-haw!
-Hey!

-Ah!
-[laughing]

-Look out!
-Whoa!

-Watch out!
-[laughing]

[laughing loudly]

[gasps] Oh, no!
I made such a mess!

[sighs] I'm never going
to get this potion right
in time for school!

Hydie, wait! It's okay.

This potion sure
is important to Hydie.
But I can't figure out why.

I just wish she would tell us
what it's supposed to do.

Oh! Well, let's, uh,
let's see. Oh!

Her potion has wishing wax,
toad tonic, fairy...

Demi!
Those are Hydie's notes!

Oh, right. Top secret.
[chuckles] Oops.

Wait a spooky second.
Wishing wax, toad tonic...

Those are used in potions that
reverse magical transformations.

And Hydie was trying to stop
herself from transforming
into a troll all day.

-I think I know what's going on.
-Uh-oh.

-That can't be good.
-[bubbling]

Hey, Hydie.
I brought your notebook.

Demi accidentally saw some
ingredients in your potion.

I know it's top secret,
but are you making a potion

so you won't transform
into a troll?

[sighs] I was trying to.

The truth is,
I'm embarrassed by my laugh.

My snorts are so loud
when I troll out,
and I always make a mess.

So I was trying to create
a potion that'd stop me

from going troll
and causing monster mayhem.

I don't want anyone at school to
hear or see when that happens.

I'm nervous I won't fit in
with the other scientists
at my academy.

I had extra spiders
in my stomach on my
first day of school too.

But I've learned that even
when you have monster quirks,

you shouldn't try
to change who you are.

It's best just to be you.

Besides, Mad Science
is supposed to be
a little messy.

That's what makes it fun.

And being your
giggly troll-self

makes you
a one-of-a-kind scientist.

-Really?
-Definitely.

You should be proud
of your troll giggles!

You're right, Vee.

Maybe I don't have to stop
myself from going troll.

All laughs are monsterific,
including mine!

If it wasn't for all our silly
and messy experiments,

we wouldn't have
had so much fun today!

I definitely
concur with that.

I just hope I didn't cause too
much of a mess in your lab.

It's alive! It's alive!

-[gasping]
-How did this happen?

Demi and Gregoria,
did you make it?

-You did!
-Your adorable troll self

knocked the yellow human
ingredients into the cauldron,
creating Rainbow Slime!

See, Hydie? This wouldn't
have happened without
your research or laughter.

Who knows what you'll create
next with those giggles.

You're right!
My troll laugh helped me
be a spookier scientist!

I've never made
a rainbow reaction before,
it's a total original!

I can't wait to share this
potion with my class instead.

Whoa! Ah!

I got her! No, I don't!

[grunts] Whoa!

[all laughing]

[laughing, snorting]
Don't mind me!

-I'm goin' troll!
-[all laugh]

[Vampirina]
"International Treasure."

[Vampirina]
"International Treasure."

You know, Vee,
we've done a lot of monstery
stuff since we became friends.

Creepovers,
Blood Moon Festivals,
Werewolf Bar Mitzvahs.

But being summoned
to a museum for a Royal Mummy
Coronation Ceremony?

-Now that's a first!
-I know!

And to be hauntedly-honest,
I have no idea what it is.

But when you get
an invitation from the
"mummy-with-the-mostest,"

King Pepi,
you have to say yes.

Whatever we're here for,
it sounds fancy.

Oh! Which probably
means free Horrord'Oeuvres.

-Hello? King Pepi!
-Oh, Vampirina and friends!

Delighted you could all make it!

Wouldn't miss
something like this!

Uh, which reminds me,
what is this?

Why, it's my niece Nefi's
Coronation Ceremony, of course!

It's a royal mummy tradition
that dates back centuries,

where the current king passes on
a special headdress to the next
member of the royal family.

It means they're agreeing
to take over as the new king
or queen when they're older.

-Sounds like a pretty big deal.
-The biggest!

I love my niece more
than the Nile itself.

But this is an awfully big
responsibility for such a...
cute widdle mummy.

I don't know if she's ready
for all the pressure!

-I'm sure she will be.
-I hope so.

I offered to host
the ceremony here in the museum,

so mummies will be arriving
from all over soon!

So this has to go off
without a stitch!

-[gasps] Uncle Pepi!
-Nefi!

Ah-ah-ah! Not before
our secret "wrap-shake."

[grunting, laughing]

You remembered!
Now come, I have some
special guests for you to meet

while I go get the headdress.

-Hi, Nefi! I'm...
-Vampirina Hauntley!

And you're Poppy
and Bridget, right?

-Yeah.
-You got it.

-How'd you know?
-I'm really into reading
about monster history

and current events
in Transylvania.

I definitely know all
about the Ghoul Girls!

-You three are ghoulebrities!
-[Pepi] No!

-What is it, King Pepi!?
-The headdress! It's... gone!

[all gasp]

According to mummy legend,

the headdress is said to bring
ghoul luck to whoever wears it.

How'll I become
a good queen without it?

[blows] Wait! Look! An envelope!

It's a letter from my Mummy!'

Oh, she says she moved
the headdress to a hiding spot

to keep it
from being lost or stolen.

Mummy always knew best.

It also says we have
to follow a bunch of clues

and riddles to find
the hiding spot.

[clears throat]
"I have four sides,
but they're made of three.

You think of Egypt
when you see me?"

Oh! The answer is a pyramid!
It has four sides to it,

but each is shaped
like a triangle,
and "tri" means three!

Wow, you really do
know your mummy stuff.

Oh! A pyramid? But where?

Um, Your Highness...

Oh! Well, good then.

-Onward, team!
-[all laugh]

[gasps]

This clue says
we have to show respect

to the mummy kings
and queens of old.

That means avoid stepping
on any tile

with a Mummyglyphic
drawings carved into it.

[all grunting]

That's easier
screamed than done!

Hold on, we're coming!

Oof! Thanks, my goofy ghoul.

Just doin'
my solid friend a solid.

-[grunting]
-[bell dings]

Whoo-hoo! Mummy-rific!

-Fantastic!
-Hooray! Sorry, Gregoria.

This says we'll find
he next clue once
we answer the riddle.

But what could that mean?
Ah-ha! The mighty sphinx!

-What's a sphinx?
-It's an ancient
mythical creature

with the face of a man
and the body of a lion.

So it's basically just a big,
adorable Miss Cuddle Cakes.

Almost! But spookier!

But what do we do?
Do you think the Sphinx
is hiding the headdress?

According to Mummy tradition,
you have to answer the
Sphinx's riddle to move along.

Stand back!
I've got this one. Ahem.

Knock, knock!

Maybe this guy doesn't
have a sense of humor.

Demi, why don't we let Nefi
and Pepi handle this one?

We just have
to approach it confidently.

-[all gasp]
-I have a mouth,
but I do not speak.

I'm blue, but I am not sad.

I am one of the longest
of my kind,
but my name is short.

-What am I?
-Oh! The answer is...

-Ask Nefi!
-[laughs] Nefi, you got this!

It's simple, actually.

I've been studying all
about Mummy geography lately.

It's the Nile river!
Rivers have mouths, are blue,

and the Nile is one of the
longest rivers in the world.

Well done. You shall find
the next clue... over yonder.
[chuckles]

-[all cheer]
-Impressive!

Wow. I can't believe
how much Nefi has grown up.

I always knew she was special,
but this is spooktacular!

I definitely agree.

Ah-ha! A switch!

[gasps] It's a secret trap door!

-Looks like a tight squeeze.
-And some of us
are afraid of tight spaces.

I won't say who.

Yeah, and what do I do
if I get stuck?

Just phase through the wall?

Uh, that's exactly
what you could do!

It's tighter than my body wrap
after a big lunch!

Oh, we're so close
to finding the headdress.

Don't worry.
There has to be a way through.

I don't know.
My stone isn't that flexible.

Except when I'm
on the dance floor.

Hm... that's it!
We just need to dance!

Just like the mummies of old.

[all humming, laughing]

Wow! Look at this place!

It's a secret treasure room!
The headdress
has gotta be in here.

You're right.
Must be where Mummy put all our
most sacred family treasures.

-Hey, my GhoulBoy!
-[humming]

Oh! My bad!

-Uh-oh.
-[gasps] The door!
We'll be trapped in here!

I'm on it! [grunts]
It's not too heavy at all!

You guys go ahead.
We'll stay and help Gregoria
keep the door open.

-Really?
-Are you sure?

You've got a headdress to find!

Your king thanks you
for your service!

Look! A clue!

"Pepi, you finally
reached the last clue
and Mummy is proud." Aww.

"The headdress is hidden in a
mummy's favorite napping spot."

-Any idea?
-I may be a mummy,

but I've been too busy
studying to take naps.

I have no clue!
I need that headdress.

I could really use some
ghoul luck to settle my nerves
for the ceremony.

Oh! I know the answer!
It's the mummy's tomb!

When I was little,
I used to hide in there to nap
and avoid doing my royal chores.

-[both laugh]
-Really?

[gasps] The headdress!
We found it!

And just in time
for the ceremony!

-It's bootiful!
-[Nefi] Wow!

[Pepi gasps]
How can this be?

Time must've
completely worn it down.

Nefi, didn't you say
the headdress was really old?

Really, really old!
What do we do? The ceremony!

All of the royal mummies
are on their way,
and we have no headdress!

If I don't have
the headdress and I break
our most important tradition,

-how can I be great too?
-[Vampirina] Hold on.

There might not be a way to save
the old headdress or tradition,

but maybe something new
is the answer.

I have an idea!

Ooh! What's all this?

The best craft supplies
a monster can find!

Since we can't bring back
the old headdress,

I thought making one together
instead of passing
down the old one

-can be your new tradition!
-New?

That's not a word
we mummies use very often.

I know it can seem scary
or sad to give up
your old traditions.

But my family had
to start a lot of new traditions
when we moved to Pennsylvania.

And they actually
brought us closer together.

But what about the ghoul luck
I need to be a good leader?

You don't need luck!

You're smart, well-read
and know all
about mummy history.

You just need
to be yourself!

All right.
It's worth a try!

[all cheering]

-[gasping]
-[Gregoria] Now that's
a headdress fit for a queen!

-I'll say!
-Nefi, you made it work!

It does look pretty
spooktacular, doesn't it?

We decided to add blue sequins
to represent the Nile,

this sphinx patch on the back,

and I drew some pictures
of our mummy ancestors.

It truly honors our history!

And it was really fun to make it
with you, Uncle Pepi.

See? New traditions
can be a scream!

And even though the old
headdress didn't work out,

it was still fun to figure
out all those riddles!

Spooky, but fun. [laughs]

Nefi, I always knew
how special you were,

but this treasure hunt
showed me how smart
and capable you've become.

When the time comes
for you to be Mummy Queen,

you're gonna be spooktacular
all on your own!

-Thanks, Uncle Pepi.
-[all] Aw!

Royal Mummy Nefi,
we're here today for your
royal coronation ceremony.

With the placing of this
headdress atop your head,

you will be accepting
the responsibility of taking
over the mummy throne

when the time comes.
Are you ready?

I am!

Ladies and gentle-mummies,

I give you your future queen!

Can you believe it? Our little,
widdle Nefi is all grown up!

Hoo boy.
Here come the waterworks!

-[laughter]
-Our mummy future is
definitely bootiful and bright.
