[Vampirina] "The Plant Predicament."

Fourteen, fifteen,

sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen, twenty!

Ready or not, here I come!

[Vampirina giggling]

Found ya!

[giggles] Aw, how'd you know it was me?

Uh, you're the only bat
that's ever been in my backyard.

[Edna gasps] Oh, my precious petunias!

What was I thinking?

Oh, deary, me.

What's your mom doing?

I don't know.

Let's go see.

Hi, Mom. What's going on?

Oh, girls, I need to get ready
for the Green Thumb Contest.

Why would there be a contest
for green thumbs?

I don't even know anybody
with green thumbs.

I do. Witches.

Witches?

[laughs] No.

The Green Thumb Contest
is a gardening competition.

Only I thought the contest was next month,

but it turns out it's today.

Now I have to hurry and grow my garden

before the judges come this afternoon.

Oh, there's so much to do.

We can help.

Hey, maybe my mom can help, too.

She loves to garden.

Hi, Mama.

[shrieks] Vampirina, you startled me,

and you know how I love a good startle.

What's up, darling?

Ms. Peepleson needs help
with her Green Thumb Contest.

Which sounds like it's about witches,

but it's actually about planting gardens.

Ooh, I love gardens.

And I'm deadly good at it,

if I do say so myself.

So, can you help out?

Of course.
It's the neighborly thing to do.

[grunts] I got a bad feeling
in my stones about this.

You do know that your kind of gardening

is very different
from Edna's kind of gardening.

Oh, Gregoria, it's not like
I'm going to plant

my snapping monster pods. [chuckles]

We'll only plant what Edna has.

I don't like it.

We always get in trouble
when we help humans.

Well, I love helping humans.

Hmm.

I'm back, and I brought my mom.

Oxana, how nice of you to help.

It's my pleasure.

Shall I begin by making the soil
extra dry and rocky?

Maybe just dig holes for the seeds.

All righty, then.

[raspy growling]

[gasps] All the seeds are planted,

and now they just need to sprout.

Um, Mom,

how are the seeds going to grow
into plants in one day?

Because I've got a secret weapon.

Fitzy-Spritzy's fast-acting
plant fertilizer.

A few sprays of this
and the plants will grow quickly.

Or at least that's what they say.

[Edna] That should do it.

[Poppy] Wait, I found more seeds.

Should we plant these, too?

Oh, no, no, no. [chuckles nervously]

No, you can't use these.

Um, these are, um, my, um, snow seeds.

They only work if it's, uh, snowing.

And, uh, I mean a blizzard.

Snow seeds? [laughs]

Fascinating.

Good thing we've got plenty
of my seeds here.

[Gregoria] You see?

Now that was a close call.

Poppy almost planted
the snapping monster pods.

But she didn't.

Gregoria, you worry too much.

-[Edna] Girls!
-[gasps]

Oxana and I are going inside to wash up.

Call if the plants start to sprout.

Remember, it works fast.

Huh? I don't remember this garden statue.

I like it!

It's cheery.

Cheery? I feel so misunderstood.

[Wolfie panting, barking]

Hey, let's play with Wolfie
while we wait for the plants to sprout.

Oh, Wolfie, catch!

[barks]

Watch out for the monster pods!

Gregoria, I'm telling you,

nothing bad is gonna happen.

-[Wolfie barks]
-[pods chittering]

[Gregoria] You're right.

It's not going to happen.

It already happened!

[gasps] A plant is sprouting.

Um, is it me or does that not
look like a regular green plant?

It's not you.

That looks exactly like a...

snapping monster plant.

It is a snapping monster plant!

Wolfie knocked the seeds into the garden.

Oh, no, I really didn't think
this would happen.

I did.

Okay, let's just stay calm.

This is no time to panic.

[plants chattering]

Oh, really?

Because I think...

it's the perfect time to panic!

Snapping monster plants
are growing out of my mom's garden.

What is she going to think
when she comes back out?

[Edna] Yoo-hoo!

[both gasp]

Oh! So...

are my little plants growing?

Nope. Not growing yet.

At least none of your plants are growing.

Really?

I thought that fast-acting fertilizer
would act...

faster.

Your snapping monster pods
kind of got planted in Edna's garden.

[Oxana gasps] Oh, bats!

This is dreadful.

[Edna] Is everything all right?

Hey, Mom, you know what I think
the judges would love?

Uh, tea.

You should go make some for them.

I do make a nice pot of tea.

The secret's in the kettle, you know.

Oxana, would you mind helping me?

What? Oh, uh, yes.

Poppy and I can get rid
of the monster plants

while you keep Ms. Peepleson busy.

They're not too big.

Just... a little chompy.

Eh, okay, if you're sure.

I'm just a flutter away if you need me.

-Okay, what can we do?
-[Gregoria grunting]

I have safety scissors.

Maybe we can try to cut the stems.

Good thinking.

Aah! Oh, that tickles.

Whoa!

[giggling]

Do you have another pair?

-[Edna humming tune]
-[Vampirina] I got ya!

-[girls giggling]
-Okay!

[giggling continues]

[groans] It's not working.

That's because they're not regular plants.

And also, I told you this would happen!

Wait a minute, I know who can help.

Demi!

-[pops]
-Hi, everyone!

Oh, I see you've got a case
of the monster plants.

Yes, and we have to get rid of them
before Edna comes back.

Oh! I can help!

You know, my great, great grandpa ghost
had a garden once.

Of course, he only grew ghost plants,
and zucchini.

Anyway, I'm sure he'll know what to do.

He's just a poof away.

How long does a poof take?

A poof is about, let's see,
three whooshes.

[Demi chuckles]

Yeah, not long.

Okay, see you soon!

Okay, things are under control, Poppy.

-Poppy?
-Um, up here.

Oh, no!

Hang on! I'm coming up. Ah!

Whoa! Or I'll take this one.

Yuck! I don't think things can get worse.

I do. Here comes Edna.

Oh, how are my little planty wantys doing?

Oh, no.

-[Poppy panting]
-[Poppy and Vampirina gasp]

Hi, girls. My plants
must be growing by now.

I'm desperate to see them.

But what about the tea?

The tea is ready.

Well, what about the cookies?

What cookies?

[gasps] Oh, I should make cookies.

They would go ever so well with my tea.

Oh, but what about the garden?

Uh, the girls can watch
the garden for now. [chuckles]

Let's make those cookies.

[Oxana] What happened?

The monster plants
are as tall as the house.

Don't worry, Mama.

Demi is getting help.

He'll be back soon.

[Edna] Oxana!

Should I make oatmeal raisin
or chocolate surprise?

Uh, how about both? [chuckles]

Maybe we do always get in trouble
when we help humans.

Thank you!

[grunting] Where's Demi?

We're not gonna be able
to keep this up much longer.

-[pops]
-[both] Demi!

That's moi!

So, I spoke to my great grandpa ghost

who it turns out, is actually
my great, great, great grandpa ghost,

[chuckles] I mean, who knew?

Any-who, I found out there's a spell

that will get rid
of the snapping monster plants.

Just say the spell once

and the plants will shrink back down
and disappear.

So, what's the spell?

Oh, uh, hang-- hang on a sec.

Oh, dear, I must've forgotten it

during all that poofing and whooshing!

You've gotta remember, Demi!

How does it start?

I think it goes something like this.

To get rid of all pesky monster plants

you must cast a spell
with a monster dance.

[chuckles] Now, how did it go?

-[girls giggling]
-Please, do tell.

[Edna] I am coming to see my garden

and there is nothing
anyone can do to stop me.

Uh, but Edna, I don't think we've, uh--

-made enough cookies.
-[gasps] My garden.

Oh, it's perfect!

I think the judges are gonna love it.

Speaking of judges, they're here.

Oh, welcome!

Welcome to my garden.

Cookie? Tea?

Cookies and tea? My favorite.

What a lovely garden.

[gasps] Why, thank you.

Tell me, Ms. Peepleson,
what kind of plants are those?

The spiky red ones over there.

-Spiky red ones?
-[gasps]

-[girls gasp]
-Uh-oh!

The spell must've missed those.

I honestly don't know.

I don't remember planting them.

It must've been a mistake.

Well, we hope not.

Those plants make the garden
so interesting and unique.

And that statue,

it's special.

I'm special.

Edna Peepleson, you are the winner

of the Green Thumb Contest!

I won?

I won!

I don't believe it! Oh!

-Yay, Mom!
-Great job!

Oh, thank you so much!

I couldn't have done it without your help.

See how good helping feels?

My stone heart feels two sizes bigger.

Helping humans.
[giggles] Who knew?

[all exclaiming, giggling]

We did it!

[Vampirina] "Mummy Mayhem."

Sweetie, your ghost toast is getting cold!

Morning, Mama. Morning, Papa.

Well, you're in a hurry.

It's field trip day at school.

Your class spends the whole day
in a field?

That doesn't sound very educational.

A field trip means we get to go some place

other than the classroom to learn.

And today, we're going to--

The Natural History Museum.

There's dinosaur bones,

a butterfly pavilion, and even--

The great Egyptian mummy...

[Gregoria] King Pepi?

-King Pepi?
-What a small world.

Wait, you know him?

Your father and I met King Pepi

on our honeymoon in Egypt.

[Boris] He overheard
we were from Transylvania

and invited us into his tomb.

Such a gracious host.

And now he's in a new exhibit
at the museum?

Ooh, good for him.

[Oxana] He felt so important
when he was king.

So I'm sure he's just loving
all the attention from the visitors.

[doorbell screaming]

That's Poppy.

Have fun!

[Mr. Gore] And to our left is the world
of the Egyptian pharaoh. [chuckles]

Oh, man, the next exhibit is dinosaurs!

[kids cheering]

[Bridget] It's so old...

and spooky.

Aren't you used to spooky by now

with a vampire for a friend?

-Uh-uh.
-Don't worry.

It's not like anyone's alive inside there.

[Vampirina giggles] Actually...

[groans]

[Bridget screams]

[Pepi yawns]

Did I hear someone say "vampire"?

Hello, Your Highness.

I'm the vampire.

Greetings.

It's been a long time
since I've seen another non-human.

I'm Vampirina, and these are my friends,

Poppy and Bridget.

They're human?

It's okay. They like monsters.

The nice ones.

He is nice, right?

My kingdom called me "honorable"

and a great leader,

but yes, I am also nice.

He's a friend of my parents.

Oxana and Boris Hauntley.

You're a Hauntley?

What a lovely surprise.

Come in.

[King Pepi] Small class.

The rest went to see the dinosaurs.

Ugh, of course they did.

In Egypt, I was king.

But ever since I got here
no one seems to care about me.

They're just interested
in seeing the dinosaurs.

We're interested in you.

You are?

Well, in that case...

♪ I brought these artifacts ♪

♪ So you could come and see 'em ♪

♪ See ancient Egypt
In your very own museum ♪

♪ But people pass me by

♪ Sometimes it's lonely being king ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

I thought being in a museum

would bring me visitors
from all over the world.

But all they care about

is the big reptiles next door.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

Are the dinosaurs alive, too?

Ha! Hardly.

But they do have bigger teeth than I do,

so that makes them more interesting,
it seems.

Oh, who knew this job could get so lonely?

I think I know just the thing
to cheer you up.

-You do?
-A trip to my house

for dinner with some old friends.

That sounds splendid!

I haven't had a home-cooked meal
in centuries.

Uh, Vee?

How exactly are we supposed
to get a mummy home

without anyone noticing?

Normally I wouldn't be caught dead

in anything except Egyptian cotton,

but I suppose this will have to do.

All right, you all know the plan.

[Mr. Gore] Uh, come on, kids.
Let's move along.

Uh... Oh, hello, girls.

Hello, Mr. Gore.

-Watch your step, now.
-[Edgar] Hey!

What's the big idea?

You guys got souvenirs without me?

[Poppy] Ooh, that was close.

[Vampirina] Welcome to our home,
scream, home.

[both gasp] King Pepi!

[Demi] Is it me, or is he a little shorter
than he is in the history books?

They're always shorter.

King Pepi?

Oxana! Boris!

Marvelous to see you, friends.

It is, uh, good seeing you as well.

Please, make yourself at home, King Pepi.

Vee, can we speak with you
in the kitchen, please?

Vee, it's perfectly okay
to bring souvenirs home from the museum...

But usually, that doesn't include
an actual mummy.

I know.

It's just King Pepi is feeling sad.

No one stops to see his exhibit
at the museum.

But he's a famous king.

Shouldn't everyone want to see him?

Everyone just wants to see dinosaurs.

[Pepi sighs]

He does seem sad.

We thought a little monster company

might be the perfect thing
to cheer him up.

That's very thoughtful of you girls.

I suppose one night won't hurt,

as long as he won't be missed
at the museum.

Oh, it sounds like the dinosaurs
will keep everyone occupied.

Then we haven't got a moment to lose.

We've got a king to cheer up.

[Demi] Ooh, ooh, can we help, too?

Please, please?

[chuckles] Of course.

After all, how can we make
a king feel like a king

without a couple of loyal subjects
in his court?

Yippee! We get to help cheer up the king!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Operation king-frown-upside-down
is now starting!

I'm the foot stool again?

[King Pepi] I must say,

you sure know how to treat a king like...

Well, a king.

Just wait until you see
what we have planned for dinner.

[sniffs] Shriek-loaf and spooked potatoes?

But that's my favorite meal!

My mom remembered that's what
you made them back in Egypt.

Your highness, it would be my pleasure

to escort you to your dining throne.

Why do I feel like I always get
the short end of the broomstick?

Whoo, I have not had a meal
like that in centuries.

We are so glad you liked it, King Pepi.

And we've got another
little surprise for you.

Places, everyone!

[upbeat music playing]

[Vampirina giggles]

[upbeat music playing]

[laughs] Oh, yes, splendid!

No mummy dance party is complete
without an actual mummy.

[all giggling]

[doorbell screaming]

-[King Pepi laughing]
-[Vampirina] I'll get it!

Aah! Mummy!

[sighs] It's just you, Vee.

[giggles] Hi, Edgar.

Have you heard the news?

King Pepi, he's gone missing.

Someone took him!

[chuckles] I don't think anyone took him.

More like he left.

I mean, he could be anywhere.

Except here. He couldn't be here.

A 100 percent mummy-free house.

All right, well,
I'm helping the search team,

so, I'm out.

-Search team?
-Yeah.

The whole town's looking for this mummy.

-We've got a mummy-sized problem.
-Oh, we heard.

A search team is looking for King Pepi?

What if they find him here?

I think it's time we put a wrap
on this mummy party.

That was incredible.

I haven't felt that loved in centuries.

Thanks for coming, King Pepi.

We hope we were able to cheer you up,
even a little bit.

Your family and friends have been
fangtastic company for this lonely king.

We should get you back to the muse--

Which is why I have decided
to stay here forever,

and not return to the museum.

-[girls gasp]
-[Vampirina] What?

When I'm here, I feel like someone
actually cares about me.

What about your exhibit?

They won't even know that I'm gone.

But King Pepi--

Don't worry.

I asked my loyal subjects
to begin the search for my replacement.

[doorbell screaming]

Right this way for auditions.

Step right in. Don't be shy.

Who's feeling royal?

Who's fit to be a king? [laughs]

It seems everyone wants
to be a museum mummy.

Everyone except for King Pepi.

I'm turning over a new cloth.

And it's all thanks to you, Vampirina.

Won't the museum notice
if a different mummy shows up?

That's why we have to figure out a way
to change King Pepi's mind.

If only he knew how much everybody
does actually miss him.

That's it! Bridget, you're a genius!

Uh, I am?

Well, yeah, course I am.

And, Poppy, I think your brother
can help us out.

You're sure you're talking
about my brother?

[Demi] Yeah, I don't think
this one's king material.

-Oh!
-We need to hurry!

Too tall.

Too short.

Too much energy.

Does he know
the job requires mostly sleeping?

Excuse me, King Pepi?

We wanted to tell you
that your room is ready.

Hmm, my cloths are dragging.

Good work today, loyal court.

We'll pick up the auditions
in the morning.

[Vampirina] King Pepi,

you're sure you don't wanna go back
to the museum?

Your parents already tried
to change my mind.

Well, there's something you should see
before you make your decision.

Go on.

[Edna] Honey, I don't see anything.

Keep looking.

If someone stole him,

they could've stashed him anywhere.

-Anywhere?
-Yeah.

The whole town's looking for King Pepi.

I don't believe it.

They care about me?

[announcer] Children from around the city
have turned up in droves

outside the Natural History Museum

with one question. Where is King Pepi?

They want their beloved mummy back.

They really do care about me.

They sure do.

[chuckles] Thank you.

Thank all of you.

So, you're going back?

With all my fans awaiting my return,

it's my duty.

[girls cheering]

It sounds like this old king
won't be lonely any time soon.

You all sure know how
to make a mummy feel loved.

Everyone needs a little reminder sometimes
about how important they are.

[Edgar] Mysterious disappearance,

mysterious reappearance.

Where do you think he was?

I guess we'll never know.

I can't believe we got to spend
a day with a real, live mummy.

And now other kids
get to enjoy King Pepi, too.

Not just kids.

[Boris] Sure is nice to know
everything is back where it should be.

Uh, you mean except the 75 mummies
still in our living room?

-Oh, right.
-[Edgar] Excuse me.

I gotta get this stuff on camera.

Not going to look at the dinosaurs
this time, Edgar?

-Are you kidding?
-[camera shutter clicking]

[Edgar] King Pepi is way cooler.

He sure is.

[indistinct chatter, giggling]

[closing theme music]
