03x09 - Bust Friends/The Invisible Fan

[bunniefuu]

♪ Vampirina ♪

♪ We were normal vampires
in Transylvania ♪

♪ Like the other monsters
on every block ♪

♪ Till we packed our things
and we flapped our wings ♪

♪ And we got a case
of human race culture shock ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, Vampirina ♪

♪ I may be blue
with pointy teeth ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, Vampirina ♪

♪ But I'm not so different
underneath ♪

♪ It's true that our taste
may be a little offbeat ♪

♪ But we're the battiest
monsters you'll ever meet ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, Vampirina ♪

♪ A ghoulish girl
in a human world ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, Vampirina ♪

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, Vampirina ♪

[Vampirina]
"Bust Friends."

[Vampirina, grunting]
Take that, cobwebs! Hee hee!

The staircase
is human-ready, Mama!

Spooktastic work, batkins!

Our house has never looked
more human-ready

than it does today.

Just in time
for our very first
Street Stroll.

Is that why Demi and I
were filing the nails

-on the clawfoot tub?
-Ahhh.

It is. The Street Stroll
is a walking tour

where humans visit homes
in our neighborhood.

And today,
we're gonna join the Stroll
for the very first time!

It'll be a chance
to get to know all
of our neighbors

-and make new friends. Oh!
-[doorbell rings]

Places, everyone!

[front door closes]

Who's ready for
their first Street Stroll?

- We sure are!
- Thrilled to be part of it!

As the founder and official
welcoming committee

of the Street Stroll,

I've made it a tradition
to give families a gift

in honor of joining the tour!

That's so spookily
thoughtful of you, Edna.

Ah! It's a...

Marble bust!

Just look at his smile!

Thank you so much,
Edna.

It'll add real...charm
to the room.

And I know
the perfect spot for it.

If I may...

[grunts]

Ooh! Ahhm.

There! Well, I better get going.

I don't want the Strollers
to stroll off without me!

-See you soon, Hauntleys.
-Bye!

-Can't wait!
-Thanks again!

Did I just get booted
off my own pedestal

-for this bust?
-[Demi gasps]

Oscar, i-is that you?

[Vampirina]
Who's Oscar?

Oscar is the spirit

that haunts this bust!

Oh, Oscar and I go way back.

We even haunted
our first house together.

In fact, Oscar is an expert
on haunted houses.

Aren't ya, old pal?
Huh? Huh? Heh.

What's with the stone face,
Oscar?

-You're never this quiet.
-Look!

There's a magical shimmer
around Oscar!

I think Oscar isn't talking
or moving because he's been cast

with the Stone Silent spell.

-Ohh! No wonder he's so quiet.
-[Demi] That's a thing?

-Can you reverse it, Mama?
-I think so.

Stand back, everyone!

Stone Silent Spell,

your power I unlock!

Allow Oscar the Bust

to move and talk!

Hellooooo, Penn-syl-vania!

-It worked!
-That guy is loud.

Ahhh! [joints crack]
Whoo!

Been wanting to do that
for centuries.

Many thanks to you, madam,

for releasing me
from that spell.

I accidentally cast it on myself

while haunting
a House of Mirrors.

Mm-hm. Ahh! Demi!

It's been ages!

It really has!

The Stone Age,
the Dark Age--

Ohh! So many ages!

Just look at this place!

I've wanted to visit
the Hauntley house forever!

I read all about it

when I haunted
the Transylvania library.

Wow! You know about our home?

I know every inch of this house.

Better warm up
the old vocal cords
before I dish.

[doing vocal exercises]

♪ La-la-la-la-a-a-a! ♪

[laughs]

You must be relieved
to be able to speak again.

You have no idea.

I have so much to say...

through ♪ so-o-o-ong! ♪

♪ So much conversation ♪

♪ Up here rattling
'round my head ♪

♪ Far too long
my inner monologue's ♪

♪ Been left unsaid ♪

♪ Demi, great to see you ♪

♪ You look frightful,
by the way ♪

♪ There's just so much

-[relieved sigh]
-[doorbell rings]

The Street Stroll people
are here!

Oh! What kind of monsters
are they?

The non-monster-humans-
taking-a-tour-of-our-house kind.

I don't think they're expecting
to see a talking bust.

Oh! I'll try to be quiet.

But when something inspires me,

I can't help but share it
with the world!

Don't worry.
We'll handle Oscar.

Thanks, batkins.
After all,

we want to make
a good impression.

Okay, Oscar.

You just need to be quiet
until the Street Strollers

finish the tour of our house.

Oscar, old pal,
this is how to zip it.

Mmm! Hmm.

[inhales] Mmm...

Oh! That reminds me
of my favorite joke, Demi.

-Knock, knock.
-Okay, who's there?!

With these two,
stayin' quiet

might be harder
than we thought.

Everybody! This way.

[Mr. Gore]
Welcome to the Hauntley home.

[chuckling]
One of the more, uh,

eclectic stops
on our stroll.

Boris, Oxana,
take it from here.

Wait. We're leading the tour?

Of course. And wowing us

with fascinating facts
about your house!

[whispers] I didn't know
they needed to know

any fascinating facts.

Psst! Poppy!
Over here!

What is it, Vee?

Try and distract the humans

if something spooky happens.

I'll explain later.
Thanks, Poppy!

Uh, you can count on me!

Okay, Oscar, I need you
to be quiet

just for a little bit longer.

But it's so hard!

Hey, marble man,
if there's one thing

us stones can't resist,
it's a game of Statute.

No moving, no talking,
or you lose.

Game on, gar-girl.

[both]
Three, two, one!

Stare!

[gulps]

I think playing Statue
is working!

Oscar's actually
being quiet!

But who's gonna
break first?!

Oscar? Gregoria? Me?

I can't watch!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

ah-ah-ah...ah-choooo!

Whoa!

[Mr. Gore] Uh, everything okay
in there, Vee?

M-Mr. Gore!
Oh--haha--yes.

Everything's
bat-tastic!

I thought I heard
thudding noises.

I was practicing
a new dance.

The, uh, Heavy Hoofer!

[thudding]

The window!

They're...bootiful!

What's that, Vee?

I said, the windows

are booootiful!

[lowers voice] I've also
been practicing doing voices,

just for fun.

Oh? Well, yes,

the windows are quite unique.

Say, what is that design?

Uh, I'm not sure.

[Oscar]
Contemporary Cobweb.

Huh?

The tour is moving

to the living room,

Mr. Gore.

Enjoy the rest of your tour!

That was close!

I'm sorry,
but those windows
give me chills.

Chills, I tell you!

[Edna, nearby]
Where is the bust
I got you, Oxana?

Oh, no! I've got to sneak you
back into the living room.

Please don't talk
to the Street Strollers.

Psst!

Hey, everybody, I'm learning

Vee's Heavy Hoofer dance, too!

[nervously laughing]

[Vee grunting]

Oscar--I mean, the bust--

is right where you left it,
Edna.

Oh! He has the most
chiseled looks.

Oh, yes, and such
antique grandeur!

Your chandelier
is simply gorgeous!
Who made it?

I...don't know?

-Hmmm...
-[Vee gasps]

-Mm.
-[Mr. Gore] Your house

is so old and interesting,

I want to know more!

Well, uh, you see,

it belonged to
my Uncle Dieter...

You should ask your uncle!

[Oxana] Uh...

he doesn't say much.

Such a shame.

Well, better get going
to the next house.

Wait! You're...leaving already?

I'm afraid so.

Maybe you could learn
a little about your home

for next year's Street Stroll.

-[front door opens]
-[Boris] Oh, bats!

There went our chance
to impress our neighbors!

Oh, too bad Mr. Blustery Bust
over here

couldn't give you
a haunted house history
lesson beforehand.

[gasps] Maybe that's how
we can get the Strollers back!

What do you mean, batkins?

Since Oscar's an expert
on haunted houses,

and our home,

maybe he could help
by doing a tour for us!

Oh! Dreams do come true!

Your just the talking bust
for the job, old pal!

But, uh, how would
this work exactly?

Our guests wouldn't see Oscar,

they'd just hear his voice!

-I do have a captivating voice.
-When my class

took a field trip to the museum,

there were buttons
on the displays.

When you pressed them,
it would tell you
about the object.

But our house isn't equipped
like a museum.

Not without some magic,
it isn't!

One house full of fake buttons
coming right up!

Oscar, get ready
to do some talking!

It's ♪ showtime! ♪

Mr. Gore! Ms. Peepleson!

Wait! The reason my parents

weren't sharing facts
about our house

is because...

they were going to do it
with an audio tour.

There'll be buttons
all over the house

that you can push to learn more
about everything inside!

Ooh! How interactive!

Back to the Hauntleys',
Strollers!

-[dings]
-Seventy-eight steps
of polished mahogany

wind their way up
the ghoulishly grand
staircase...

-[ding]
[Oscar] Behold!

A dining table
fit for a king!

It better be, because it used to

belong to one! Ha ha ha ha!

-[ding]
-Welcome to Pennsylvania's

very first finished dungeon!

Some say it might even be...
haunted.

[giggling]

[Mr. Gore]
That was the most lively

and informative house tour

in Street Stroll history!

Nice work, Hauntleys!

Thank you, Edna.

It's bat-tastic
to make new friends!

[all] Whoo-hoo!

I was great, wasn't I?
Ha ha ha!

Thanks for sharing
such fangtastic stories
about our house, Oscar.

My pleasure, Vee.
You know what they say:

"Home is where
the haunted house is."

[gasps] Which gives me an idea!

[Demi]
Where ya headed next, old pal?

To follow my lifelong dream

of being a haunted house
tour guide!

I couldn't have done it
without all of you.

Thank you for giving me
my voice back.

And what a voice it is.

You're gonna be spook-tacular.

Will you do the honors, Vee?

Transylvania or...bust!

-Bye!
-Safe travels!
-[Demi] Call me!

[Vampirina]
"The Invisible Fan."

Well, how do we look?

Fangtabulous!

But you can't forget
to accessorize!

Or to hydrate! There won't be
any dry throats on my watch

-for your busy day!
-Thanks!

But don't worry! We're used
to back-to-back shows.

We do it all the time
in Transylvania!

Yeah! Remember
when we performed
at Fang Fest,

then the Spider Shuffle concert
right after?

[scat-sings, laughs]
How could I forget?

Those spiders are
terrorific dance teachers!

I would be too
if I had that many legs!

Uh, so many legs.

I think I'm ready for a day
of Pennsylvanian performances.

Me too. I can't wait

to show our Pennsylvania fans
what we can do!

First on the agenda

is a birthday party in the park,

then a school show,

and then we'll end
on Demi's Dazzling Fashion Show?

Ya know, just a little
suggestion. Heh-heh.

As I was saying,

we'll end on the summer concert

for our guests right here
at the Scare B＆B.

-Spooktacular!
-We got this!
-[doorbell rings]

If that's more
Ghoul Girl fan mail,

we better get
the rolling cauldron.

Or maybe it's our newest guest!

You comin', Ghoul Girls?

We'll be down in a sec.

Welcome. Let me help you
with your...bags.

Thank you kindly.
I only have a few. [giggles]

Good goblins! I mean--
[laughs]

nothing these wings
can't handle. Haha.

[gasps]

-Eeek!
-Oh! Don't disappear!

I was only admiring
your fangtabulous style!

Especially
your spooky hat.

Oh. I'm a little shy
around new ghouls,

but y'all are sweeter
than slime for welcomin' me.

I'm Eerie Mae.
How do you boo?

-Whoa!
-We're just spooked

to have you this weekend,
Eerie Mae.

What brought you
all the way to Pennsylvania?

Oh! That's easy.

I'm here to meet
the most amazin',

my absolute favorite,

sweeter-than-monster-molasses
band--Aaah!

Ghoul Girls,
I'd like you to meet
our newest guest, Eerie...Mae?

Well, I'll be doomed.
She was just here!

We'll have to give her
a big welcome when we're back.

We're off to our first show.

-Good luck!
-Break a wing!

Bye, Mama. Bye, Papa.

-Thank you!
-See you soon!

Now, where did
that little poltergeist go?

Let's check the kitchen.

I bet she worked up
a monster appetite

from her travels.

Oh, my ghoulness!

The Ghoul Girls
just walked right past

little old me?

Aaaaaah!

Well. Hmm. Ahh.

I did not come
all the way from Transylvania

just to hide from my favorite
band in the whole monsterverse!

I have to be brave
and introduce myself.

Well, if anyone
knows how to warm up,
it is moi.

I've got fabulous sweaters,
ooh, and scary scarves,
for everyone!

[giggles] Demi,

we didn't mean that
kind of warm up.

It's time to warm up
for the show.

-Like this.
-[plays chord]

[drumroll]

I'll be filming the show
from the audience.

-Later!
-[Vampirina] Thanks, Edgar!

Okay, missy, you can do this.

Just say, "Howdy!" and give them
their ghoul luck gift.

This basket of goodies
will show them

just how much
I love their music!

-[Poppy] Oops!
-[drumroll]

-Eeep!
-[giggles]
That's why we warm up.

[gasps]
She's comin' this way!

You'll get that twirl
next time, honeybunch.

Well, what is this? [gasps]

It's addressed
to you girls!

-Oh, how sweet!
-Really? For us?

-Is there a note?
-Looks like there isn't.

Who could it be from?

Wow! Transylvanian treats!

[Poppy]
Are those terror truffles?

-Terror what, now?
-There's even

sweet boo-berry tea
with honey!

We always drink this
to soothe our voices.

[Poppy] Whoever sent this
is so nice!

Mama and Papa love
boo-berry tea with honey.

I bet they sent this
as a ghoul luck gift!

No, no, no, no!

[sighs] It was me.

I think we're ready to rock
this birthday party now!

Let's go!

All I wanted to do
was say howdy!

But I can't help
that I'm so shy.

But I'll say hi next time--

sure as scream pie!

[Eerie Mae]
If they loved that gift basket,

they'll shriek
over this next gift!

Aaah! Vee's spookylele?

I can't boo-lieve it!

[gasps] And is that
Bridget's guitar?

Oh, mercy me!

Grandpa Ghost always says,

"Pick yerself up
by yer bootstraps
and try again!"

Now's my moment
to introduce myself.

[Ghoul Girls giggling]

Oh! I don't know
what to say.

I don't think I can do it!
Ooooh!

For me?! A secret admirer? Oh!

Gregoria, i-is it you again?

It says here
it's for the Ghoul Girls.

-Another gift?
-[Bridget] What a surprise!

Aaah! Our very own
boo-jeweled microphones?!

Wow!
These are amazing!

They're as pretty
as Miss Cuddlecakes'
bejeweled collar!

"Ghoul luck today.
Signed, your biggest fan"?

Maybe the gifts aren't
from your parents, Vee.

You must have a super-fan
right here in Pennsylvania.

We have to thank them,
whoever they are.

-Did they sign their name?
-Hmm.

-It's...blank.
-[Edgar] Whoa!

Where'd you get
such awesome mics?

From a mystery super-fan.

They've been
leaving us gifts
all day!

I really wish we could
thank them in person!

I love meeting our fans.

Leave it to me.

I'm a pro at searching
for clues.

I'm sure your super-fan
wouldn't miss your concert.

You're right!

They'll probably
be in the audience. Let's go!

-♪ We are, we are,
we are the Ghoul Girls ♪
-Lots of Ghoul Girl fans.

Mom included. [sighs]

But no set of mystery gifts...
yet.

Huh. Mr. Gore

wasn't wearing that hat
earlier, was he?

Floating hat?
Something seriously
spooky is going on!

Two shows down,
one to go.

I hope our mystery fan
got to see that one.

It was a scream!

The footage is in!

I couldn't find a super-fan,

but I did find this.

-[all gasping]
-[Gregoria] Demi.

Were you havin' another
invisible fashion show?

Oh, please. My invisible fashion
show isn't until next week.

But that hat looks
strangely familiar.

It's like I've seen it before.

But probably just in my closet.

I do have a ghoultastic head
for hats. [laughs]

[Eerie Mae]
I don't know why I thought

a shy little ghost like me

could pull off meetin'
the Ghoul Girls.

I never should have come
to Pennsylvania!

[crying]

Welcome back.

You girls haven't seen
Eerie Mae, have you?

No. But I hope she
makes it to the show

since we didn't get
to meet her this morning.

Hmm. I hope she didn't leave.

I wanted to ask her
where she got her
fangtabulous hat!

Did you say "hat"?

Not just any hat.

It has spooky flowers on top!

It's to die for!

Wait a spooky second.

Edgar, play the footage.

Did Eerie Mae's hat
look like this?

[Oxana gasps] That's it!
That's her hat!

I knew I could never
forget a hat!

Just like I never
forget a face. Or a foot.

-But you did forget the hat.
-Nobody said I was perfect.

So that means our mystery fan

was Eerie Mae all along!

And that's why she hasn't been
at the Scare B＆B--

she's been at our shows!

[Boris] No sight
of Eerie Mae anywhere.

I checked the room,
and all I found

was this gift
for the Ghoul Girls.

Another gift?

Eerie Mae is the most
thoughtful fan we've ever had!

She didn't have to do all this.

Aww, she got my bat-tails
just right.

And my glasses.

And my drumstick twirl.

We can't let her leave
without saying thank you.

Come on!

Eerie Mae?
Are you here?

Aaah! G-G-Ghoul Girls!

-Wait! Don't go!
-Oh, no!

[humming, chuckling]

There she is!

Did you say something,
little ones?

Sorry, Chef Remy,

we're trying to say hi
to our biggest fan.

Will you come out now?
We want to--

[Eerie Mae shrieks]

Eerie Mae, wait! Don't go!

Huh?

Eeerie Mae? Hello?

[gasps] There!

Hi, Eerie Mae.

Is that you? I'm Vee.

This is Poppy and Bridget.

We just wanted to say
we loved our gifts.

You did?!

-Definitely!
-Loved them!

That makes me happier

than finding a whole
key slime pie!

I'm your biggest fan.
I know every song!

I've even
thought about startin'
a Ghoul Girls fan club

so I can make more friends!

But I'm more timid
than a troll in a cave.

That's why I like
giving gifts.

They can show how I feel,

and I don't have to
say anything.

The truth is, I've been
tryin' to say hi to you

and introduce myself all day.

But when I meet new friends,

I feel really shy...

so I go invisible.

I totally understand.

When I first started
to make friends

here in Pennsylvania,
I got the battys.

But if I didn't say hi,

I never would have met
my best friends.

We want to be your friend,
too, Eerie Mae.

With a little ghost like me?

But I'm just an ordinary
poltergeist.

You're...the Ghoul Girls!

[song ends]

Oh, my ghoulness!

Me, friends with
the Ghoul Girls?

Oh! Y'all are sweeter
than a screechy peach!

Now I don't have
to feel so shy

when I'm makin' new friends,
thanks to you.

Because hugs like these
are worth it!

Thanks for all
the amazing gifts.

I think your idea
for a Ghoul Girls fan club

is bat-tastic!

You can be the president!

We can count on you
to let everyone know

that they don't have
to be shy around us

or new friends.

Sugar 'n' slime!

Thank you, Ghoul Girls!

I won't let you down.

How about a backstage tour?

You can try out
my drum set.

-Y'all mean it?
-Of course!

Anything for a friend.

-[Eerie Mae] Oooh!
-[all laughing]

[theme music playing]
