[Vampirina] "The Birthday Broom."

Now, where did those balloons
float off to?

Ah, yes. Right about there.

Oh, everything looks fang-tastic

for our little birthday bat.

How's the cake coming, Chef Remy?

My 13-layer "ice-scream" cake
is shrieking with flavor.

[screams]

Wonderful!

Remember to keep
everything hidden,

so it's a surprise.

Did someone say, "surprise"?

[gasping] Oh, Vee! Oh!

Oh, you rattled my bones!

But you will not find
any birthday surprises in here.

Now, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!

[chuckles]

Looking fantastic in here!

[whispering] Have you seen
our birthday bat?

[Vampirina] Did someone say,
"birthday bat"?

-'Cause that's me!
-[chuckles] It sure is.

And the little birthday bat
is trying to peek at her surprises.

But I love surprises.

Are we having spook-a-roni pizza?

And eerie-ade?

And drinking out of swirly straws?

Now, bat-kins, once we're
set up for your party,

then you can see all of the surprises.

-[chuckles] Okay.
-[doorbell rings, screams]

[together] Happy birthday!

[chuckles] Thanks.
I'm so glad you're here.

Everyone's setting up
for my party tonight,

but I'm not allowed
to see any surprises.

Ta-da! I got these for Vee!

Spooky, yet adorable.
She's gonna love them.

One for you, and you,
and you... Uh, hey!

So much for the surprise.

[chuckles]
Thanks, Demi. I do love these.

So many surprises, huh?

-It's going to be spook-tastic!
-Of course it is.

You don't order a piñata full
of scream-filled chocolates for nothing.

-Yay!
-Ooh! Uh, whoops!

Next year, we're leaving you
out of the party planning.

[chuckles] Are you in
on the surprises too?

Of course we are!

We have the biggest surprise for you.

Oh. Yeah. A hu-u-uge surprise!

Eee! I love birthdays!

Good thing a vampire
gets a lot of them.

[Boris] Vee, Nanpire is on Bat Chat!

I got to talk to my Nan.

So, what's this huge surprise?

Come on, you can tell me.
My lips are sealed.

But also see-through,

which might be why I blow
so many surprises.

Hmm. But I promise
I won't blow this one.

I know it's gonna be goo-ood!

Well, uh, maybe not so good.

See, the surprise is...
we don't have anything!

-[both gasp]
-That... is a surprise.

Hold on. These best friends
don't have anything?

It's just, we've been to lots
of human birthday parties,

but no vampire ones.

We don't know what to get her.

Whatever it is has to be amazing.

Can you help us think of something?

Leave the ghoul gift giving to us.

♪ We'll find a gift that's
Appropriately eerie ♪

♪ Like a nocturnal
Pet carnivore ♪

♪ Or maybe crayons and colors
Bright and cheery ♪

Ha! It's like you've never
met Vee before!

♪ Some shrieking stamps 'cause
You know she's a collector ♪

♪ We need to find something
Desperately ♪

♪ A Transylvanian
Haunted-house detector ♪

♪ Gotta find
The perfect gift for Vee ♪

-Enchanted frog?
-No.

-Ooh! Three-headed dog?
-No!

♪ We want to treat her ♪

But not with something
that might eat her!

♪ Let's keep on looking
As long as time allows, and ♪

♪ We'll find a gift
That fits like a tomb ♪

Have you seen this?

♪ The Hover Haunt
Spook-thousand ♪

♪ The Hover Haunt
Spook-thousand's ♪

♪ The latest, greatest broom ♪

♪ That would be
The perfect gift for Vee ♪

♪ Yes, that'll be
The perfect gift for Vee ♪

The Hover Haunt Spook-thousand?

It's perfect!

Then Transylvania, here we come!

-Huh?
-Who said anything about Transylvania?

You can only get a Hover Haunt
at F.A.O. Shrieks in Transylvania.

Since Vee's party is tonight,

maybe we should think
of something else.

But we have to get Vee
the best gift ever.

So... let's go to Transylvania!

I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I'm with Poppy.

[exclaims] Day trip! Of course,
we don't have much time,

so we will have to poof there.

Hold your haunts.

Are you sure it's a good idea

to go poofing off to Transylvania now?

If it means finding the perfect birthday
present for Vee,

we'll do anything.

Ooh. I will practice my poofing. Poof!

Poof! Poof!

-Poof!
-[awkward chuckle]

I'm in. It's okay with my mom too.

Then let's poof to Transylvania,
whatever that means.

I'm afraid to ask.

I'll just close my eyes.

Vee's party starts in a few hours.

That's the magic of poofing, ma'am.

We'll be back in no time.
Ready, girls?

Poof!

That was just a practice run.
[clears throat]

Poof!

[sighs]

Huh. Third time's a charm?

Poof!

Poofs away!

-Whoa!
-Here we are!

F.A.O. Shriek's,
one-spook shopping

for the best toys in Transylvania.

[gasps]

They have the original
Roly-Poly Trolly!

[mechanical chuckles]

Oh, he's so cute!

The Hover Haunt!

Oh, my gosh! Vee is gonna love it!

Oh, I wish it were my birthday!

[chattering]

Oh, well. Let's get in line.

Oh, now everyone's dying to get
their claws on a Hover Haunt.

[gasps] Even Poltergeist Pat,
and he's famous!

Which means I'll have
no problem getting one.

I hear there's only a few left.
Good luck, humans.

Oh, I hope we can get one!

If it were me, I wouldn't
have poofed off like that.

I just hope Demi and the girls
are back in time for the party.

If they are not back in time
to taste my 13-layer

spooked caramel ice-scream cake,

then I will be insulted
for the next two centuries!

-[cake shrieks]
-Has anyone seen Demi?

He wanted to help me pick out
my birthday outfit.

Uh, Demi? Yeah, he-he's here.

I-I just saw him, uh, in the wall.

[imitating Demi] This ghostest
with the, uh, mostest

will be right there, Vee.

[whistles]

Huh?

Bat-tastic! [chuckles] Thanks, Demi.

Don't mention it.

One Hover Haunt, please.

Ooh, and I'll take the Roly-Poly Trolly.

No? Okay, next time!

Here you go. You are one lucky ghoul.

It's our last one.

-No-o-o-o!
-No-o-o-o!

[voices echoing]

-[electronic warbling]
-[all] Wow!

They do not make toys
like this in Pennsylvania.

Made with 100%
Transylvanian magic.

Wait until you try "monster" speed.

-Take it for a spin.
-Can we, Demi?

Well, I'm never a ghost to say no.

We gotta make sure
it's in tip-top shape for Vee.

Here we go!

[both exclaiming]

-Whoopee!
-Amazing!

Ooh! Try the loop feature.

[both exclaiming, laughing]

I think this broom is ready for Vee,

and I'm ready for the ground.

Okay. Let's figure out how to land.

[both exclaiming]

Whoa! You must've hit
monster-- eee!-- speed!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Sorry!
-Watch it!

Can't... stop!

Monster... speed!

Demi, get us down!

-[exclaiming]
-Oh, no!

-[gasping]
-[gasps]

-[girls] Whoa!
-Ooh!

Whoa!

My ghost speed can't keep up!

Oh, gotta call in backup. But don't worry.

Be back in a poof. Poof!
Oh, come on. Poof!

[both shout]

[pants, whines]

[gasps] That looks terror-rific!

-Is everyone ready?
-Nope. I... Uh, I think we should wait.

[gasps] Here she comes!

[excited shriek]

[all] Surprise!

I love it!

The balloons, my cake,
Wolfie's hat, and...

Wait a second. Where's Demi?

And Poppy and Bridget?

They're, uh, making a grand...

Grand entrance. Yeah.

A big surprise...

He-e-elp!

Like I said-- making an entrance.

Demi, are you okay?

Well... I took Poppy and Bridget
to Transylvania

to go to F.A.O. Shriek's and now they're
stuck on a runaway broom!

-Long story.
-[all exclaim]

Then we have to help them!

-Poppy... and Bridget!
-[both exclaiming]

Whoa! Hey!

Is that... a Hover Haunt
Spook-thousand?

-Surprise!
-Happy birthday,

and, uh... help!

Hold on. I'm gonna get you down.

[exclaiming]

Mama, Papa, grab on!

-[Boris] Gotcha!
-[Oxana] Sweet slime!

[exclaiming]

Hold on, now!

[grunting]

Ha-ha! Take that, monster speed!

-Thanks, Gregoria.
-Whew!

-[whirring]
-[both] Whoa!

Vee!

I didn't know the Hover Haunt
could do that!

Hold on!

[grunts]

Ready, set, jump!

-[powering down]
-Vee, you saved us!

I was not prepared for monster speed.

Or riding it like a hover board.

But it looks like we've ruined
your birthday present.

-I'm just glad you're okay.
-I'm sorry, Vee.

We wanted to get you something
for your birthday,

but now we have nothing.

Are you kidding?

You came all the way to Transylvania

and went to all this trouble for me!

Don't get me wrong--
I would've loved a Hover Haunt.

But I don't need one,
as long as I have you.

This was spook-ilicous, Chef Remy!

Usually I do not serve it...
[angrily] melted!

I think this makes up
for a batty day.

Happy birthday, little Vee.

Thanks, Papa. [gasps]

A Hover Haunt Spook-thousand?

Ah! Sweet bat cakes!

I got Vee the same thing.

Sacre "boo"! So did I!

This family really needs to check
with each other about gifts.

-You got Vee one too?
-Nope.

Mama got a little something
for herself...

and a present for Vee.

-[gasps] A Roly-Poly Trolly!
-[Vampirina giggles]

I love it, and I love
my Hover Haunts too.

-Now we all have one!
-Uh, Vee,

do you really think
we should ride these again?

[chuckles] We won't use
monster speed just yet.

Come on. I'll teach you how to ride.

[laughing, exclaiming]

[Vampirina] "Vee Takes the Court."

[gargling, spits]

-[thudding]
-What was that?

It sounded like Bigfoot!

Sounds more like trolls to me.

Are we expecting a late check-in
at the Scare B and B?

Oh. [chuckles] It's just Poppy.

But what's she doing playing
basketball at bedtime?

Maybe she can't sleep. I mean,
what monster can at this hour?

But, since Poppy's not a monster,
maybe you should go ask her.

Hey, Poppy. Whoa!

Oh, hey, Vee. Sorry.

[chuckles] That's okay.

Nice shot.

What are you doing out here so late?

Trying to get in as much practice
as I can.

My team has lost
every game this season,

and our final game is in two days.

It's our last chance to get a win.

That is, if we even
have enough players to play the game.

Max twisted his ankle last game.

If we don't find another player
who can take his place,

our team won't be able to play.

[grunts]

I'm the team captain.

I don't want to let my teammates down.

Maybe I can fill in.

I don't know the rules
of human basketball,

but when it comes to running fast...

or jumping high...

I'm the ghoul for you.

You are pretty amazing.

But it wouldn't be fair
to the other team

if you used your monster powers.

But maybe you could still be
our fill-in player!

I could teach you everything you need
to know about human basketball.

How about we meet back here
first thing tomorrow morning?

Count me in, Coach Poppy.

Okay. We've got one day
to teach Vee all the basketball basics.

And I'm here to help.
I happened to play

on the all-scare team
back in Transylvania.

I was a pro at the swish.

Did I mention I was the ball?

This is a little different.
First step: dribbling.

When Poppy blows her whistle,
try to dribble around us.

-Piece of cobweb cake.
-[whistle blows]

[blows whistle] Great job, Vee,

but you can't use
your powers, remember?

[chuckles] Whoops.

Let's see you try it without
your super speed.

Okay. Here goes.

-Got it!
-Whoa!

Whoa! [groans]

That got a little batty.

This is called a chest pass.

-Now you try.
-Not too hard.

I don't want to break a bone.

Now let's try it again with some defense.

[blows whistle]
It should be a little harder this time.

I don't see how this is fair.

-Just be light on your feet.
-Easy for you to say.

Your feet aren't made of stone.

Ooh, ooh! Try and get it pass me.

Come on. Yeah, yeah. [exclaims]

Or through me. [chuckles]

Look, Poppy! I'm doing it!

It will be a little harder when
the defenders aren't ghosts.

But as long as you're having fun,
that's what counts.

To me, the fun part is sh**ting.

That is what I love most about the game.

And for my grand finale,

my favorite, most special shot,
the Poppy Pop-up.

-Nothing but net.
-That was amazing!

You should do that shot
during the game.

You score every time!

I wouldn't want to take
an eyes-closed Poppy Pop-up shot

with the game on the line.

Do you think you're ready
for your first game tomorrow?

Well, I could use a little more
practice on my passing...

and my dribbling... and my sh**ting.

Uh, but...

-[woman] Poppy, dinnertime.
-That's my cue.

You'll be great, Vee.
We're gonna get our first win.

I can feel it.

I'm not sure I feel it.

Rise and slime! Come on!

Wake up, Vee! Today's the day!

Are you ready to get out there
and show them what you're made of?

I just hope I play okay.

Poppy really wants to win,
and I don't want to let her down.

Nonsense, Vee. It's your first game.

No one's expecting you
to be a superstar.

Now, come on.
Everyone's downstairs waiting.

-Give me a scream!
-[all screaming]

-Give me a growl!
-[all growling]

-Give me a Vee!
-[all] Vee!

-There's my superstar.
-[Chef Remy] I made you

the perfect monster energy breakfast--

eerie eggs and ghost toast.

And I've got the phone
cued up to video mode.

Nanpire wants me to set up
a live "scream."

And here's your jersey.



Thanks, Poppy. Thanks, everyone.

-Are you ready?
-Ready?

Uh, yeah. I'm... I'm ready as...

-Uh-oh.
-Everything okay, batcakes?

-[Demi] Oh, basketball batties!
-Whoops!

Guess I'm a little nervous.

Remember, you're monster-strong
and super-fast. You'll do fantastic.

Too bad I can't use
any of that monster stuff.

Oh, right. Human basketball.

Don't worry, Vee.

I mean, we would totally win
if you could.

And, boy, do I want to win.

But winning that way wouldn't be right.

Even without your powers,
I've got a good feeling about today.

Let's get to the game.

-[kids chattering]
-Okay, little Lions,

it's our last game of the season.

We haven't won any games yet,

but... that hasn't stopped us
from having a great time, right?

So, let's get out there,
give it our best, and have fun.

[chuckles] Paws in.

[all] Go-o-o, Lions!

-[whooping, cheering]
-Way to go, Lions!

Whoa!

Um, hi, there.

-[whistle blows]
-[crowd whoops]

-[crowd cheers]
-Bridget! Aah!

This might be a little
harder than I thought.

And I thought it was
pretty hard to begin with.

Come on. We got this.

Just stay focused
and keep doing your best.

Whoa! Whoa!

That other team looks like
Frankenstein's kids out there.

-They're huge!
-Whoa!

[buzzer sounds]

[announcer]
Halftime! Lions have two points,

and the visiting team has 18.

Well, at least we tried.

I wanted to win so badly.

-Just one game.
-[coach] Okay, team.

One more half to go in the season.

And, hey, we worked hard
and we had fun, right?

Yes. Well, that's all I can ask for.

Poppy, you were a wonderful team captain.
I am very proud of you.

I'm very proud of all of my Lions.

Now, get out there and enjoy it.

[Demi] Psst! Hey, Vee!

Demi? What are you doing here?

Do you think I'd miss your big game?

Turns out I picked
a pretty bad seat, though.

I can't see anything from in here.

And it smells like
stinky socks! [gags, gasps]

What's the score.

We're losing, by a whole lot.

Oh, rough. Poppy must be so sad.

She is. And I feel helpless.

I wish I could do something about it.

It would make her so happy if we won.

It really is too bad

-you can't use your monster powers.
-[whistle blows]

A little zoom here
and a monster dunk there.

Your team would definitely win.

-Yeah. We would.
-Good luck, Vee.

Well, back to the-- ooh!-- socks.

Hmm. Maybe a little zoom won't hurt.

-Bridget!
-That's my little Vee!

[chuckles]

[cheering]

Great pass, Vee!

[crowd cheering, exclaiming]

-Awesome, Bridget!
-Whoa.

I don't know how
that happened, but it did.

-That's my girl!
-Way to go, Lions!

Whoa! [moans]

-[Boris] Go, Vee!
-[Oxana] Yay, Vee!

[grunts]

Got it!

[crowd cheers]

-Way to go!
-We're almost tied! We're doing great!

We're doing a little too great.

Vee, are you using your powers?

Just a little zoom here and there.

Using your powers
doesn't make it a fair match.

But if I stop using
my powers, we'll lose.

I want to win, but not like this.

How we win is more important.

Great job, everyone. It's a close game,
and I can't believe it.

I mean, anything you set
your minds to is possible,

but I still can't believe it.

Poppy, any words from our captain?

I want everyone to remember
that no matter what the final score is,

we should feel proud
of how hard we're trying.

Winning isn't everything.

Poppy's right. There's something
even more important than winning.

Poppy taught me that having fun
is what it's all about.

-Right, Poppy?
-Totally.

So let's forget about the score.

We've got two minutes left in the season.

-Let's go. Have some fun.
-Let's go, Lions!

Sorry, I didn't listen, Poppy.

It's okay. We all make mistakes.

You're on my team,
and I couldn't be prouder.

-[whistle blows]
-Ready to play ball?

We can do this.

-Or not.
-Like we say in Transylvania,

-boo!
-Whoa!

I'm on it!

-[grunts]
-Amazing job!

I call that the Bridget Bounce.

-[grunts]
-[crowd cheers]

Oh, Lions! We're two points away!

-Time out!
-[whistle blows]

Aw, man! Thought I had that.

We're two points away from a tie!

Or... we can go for the win.

To win, we would need
a three-point shot.

Those are super long.

And really hard. And crazy.

I have a plan. Follow my lead.

[whistle blows]

Do the Poppy Pop-up!

Huh? I've never done
that in a game before.

But it's fun, right?

Five, four,

-three, two,
-[grunts]

-one!
-[buzzer sounds]

-Wow!
-That was amazing!

Atta ghost, Poppy! Ooh, whoopsies!

You did it, Poppy!
No monster powers needed.

All we needed was to have fun.

And to have the best teammates
and friends in the world.

[all cheering, exclaiming]

[theme music plays]
