[Vampirina]
"New Century's Eve!"

[doorbell screams]

Ghoul morning,
Bridget and Poppy!

-Morning.
-Hey, Demi!

Whoa! It looks
spooktacular in here!

What's the occasion?

Oh, New Century's Eve,
of course!

Didn't you wonder
why I was wearing

a brand new bowtie?

I know it's
a pretty big change,

but you know, they say
fashion favors the bold!

It looks, um...
so... different.

But what's--?

[all]
Happy New Century's Eve!

Yeah... that.

Isn't it usually just
"Happy New Year"?

You know - first day
of a new year.

Throw a party.
Drink some punch.

Kind of, but this is
the vampire way

of doing things!
Tomorrow is the start

of the next 100 years!

We Hauntleys always throw
the most terrorific party.

-[party horn honks]
-[girls gasp]

[all giggle]

The best part
about the new century

is that it's a time
for monsters

to make a resolution.

It's like a promise

to improve yourself
or learn something new!

This century, I decided
to get better at baking!

[chirps]

It's going to be a challenge.

And I decided to learn
how to juggle...

pianos!

[groaning]

But Nosy makes it
look so easy!

Ouch! Ooh!

-[all laughing]
-That's going to hurt
next century!

I promise to be
a friendlier monster

who never loses her temper!

Don't worry. I'm not
gonna get too soft.

I'm made of stone, after all.

And I decided to give up
eating sweets and desserts!

-[humming]
-[gasps] Goodbye,
my sweet friend.

-Wow. I'm impressed.
-[Boris grunting]

You're going to do all that
for an entire century?

That's a pretty big commitment
for 100 years.

Which is why
we're all gonna make sure

not to mess up.
This century is our century!

-All... 100 years. Phew.
-Huh?

-Whoo-hoo!
-You got it!

But Vee, you didn't say

what your new century's
resolution is.

-[gasps]
-I decided I'm
going to be the best,

most helpful monster
I can be!

-Starting tonight!
-[sighs] Oh. [giggles]

I'll make sure everyone
keeps their promises.

No monster what!

-[cheering]
-It's on!

New Century's
Spookin' Eve with Dragos!

Ghoultide greetings!
It's a chilly night

here in Transylvania,
as monsters gather

from all over
to scream in the new century!

In just a few moments,
the big magical pumpkin

will drop,
and we'll count down

to the beginning
of the new century!

[gulps] Giant pumpkin?!

That sounds amazing!

Come on, my little ghouls.

The countdown
is about to start!

[Dragos]
Here we go!

Get ready
to scream and shout!

Psst! Vee!

I always have a bite
of Chef Remy's

New Century's cake
during the countdown!

Look at it over there!
It's-- It's haunting me!

[sighs] How am I gonna
stay away from sweets

for a hundred years?
Can ya help a ghost out

and keep me from eating
any of them?

[laughs] You've got it!

You're not gonna mess up
your new century's resolution.

-I promise.
-[sighs] You're the best,

most helpful monster ever!

Little Vee.
I can't seem to get

my juggling just right.
Will you practice with me?

Sure, Papa. No problem!

Batkins, will you lend a wing
in the kitchen later?

-I need help with my baking!
-OK, Mama.

[Dragos] It's time
to shake your tentacles!

[all]
Ten, nine, eight, seven...

I need help, too, Vee!

This friendly monster thing
is harder than I thought!

-[all] ...four,
three, two, one!
-Uh-huh.

[all]
Happy New Century! [cheering]

Everything... OK?

Well, it's just... everyone
already needs my help.

All at once. I don't know
how I'm gonna do it,

but I gotta help my family
keep their resolutions!

-[Demi giggles]
-Drop that cake, Demi!

[gasps] Just, um...

appreciating Chef Remy's
icing technique, yes!

-[piano clangs]
-Aah! [grunts]

Sorry about that!

It sounds like Papa
is still having trouble

with his piano juggling!
Gregoria, how're you doing?

I'm not gonna get mad.
I'm not gonna yell.

I'm a friendly monster.
I'm a--

-[piano clangs]
-Whoa!

[growling]

Think happy thoughts!

Go to your spooky place!

Right. Rock garden.
It's quiet.

Demi is far away. [sighs]

Phew. There you go.

Batkins, will you try
my latest batch

of screamdoodle cookies

and let me know
how they taste?

-Uhh...
-[Oxana sighs] Hmm.

Don't worry, Mama.
I'll be right in to help you.

Oh! You're
an afterlife-saver, Vee!

-[sighs]
-Here you go!

-You look like you could use
a creepy cocoa break!
-[piano clangs]

Thanks, but I have
to head outside

to help Papa
with his juggling,

then back to the kitchen
to keep Mama's desserts

from exploding! [sighs]

I can't let anyone
give up on their promises.

Well, then, you might
want to look over there.

-[panting]
-Demi, no!

-I just want one...
-[gasps]

-little... bite...
-[grunting]

-Ooh!
-[girls gasping, grunting]

-[Demi yelps]
-[girls gasp]

-Huh?
-Oops!

-[Bridget] Oh, no!
-Chef Remy's cake!

I'm a friendly monster.

I'm a-- Demi!

-[chuckles nervously]
-Gregoria!

Friendly, remember?

Sorry. Cake looks
good on you? [laughs nervously]

This is not going well.
My family can't mess up

on their resolutions.
[sighs]

Because it'll mean
I messed up on mine, too!

And at this point,
it's not like

they'll just magically
get better.

[gasps] Poppy, that's it!

Follow me!

Aha! Here we go!

101 Helpful Charms.

I can use these charms
to help everyone

keep their resolutions.

You sure magic
is the way to go?

I know my family
has it in them

to keep their promises.
Mama can be a better baker,

and I bet Papa's juggling
will improve eventually.

They just need a nudge
in the right direction.

You'll see.

[both grunt]

-[whimpers]
-Ohh...

[party horn blows]

What kind of charms
are you gonna use?

First up...
A Food Repellent Spell

- will keep all the desserts
away from Demi.
-Huh? [giggles]

[Vampirina]
Now, even the ice scream

will give him
the cold shoulder. [giggles]

For Mama,
the Easy Bake Coven charm.

Huh? did I make these?

They're beautiful!
They even smell good.

[Vampirina]
The Smile Spell

will get Gregoria
in the friendly mood.

Huh. Why do I feel

a little sunnier
all of a sudden?

[Vampirina] And for Papa,
the Lightness Charm

will make juggling
heavy pianos a breeze.

[sighs] OK, let's just give it
one more try.

Oh-h*. Wa-Wait a screech.

I'm doing it! Ha-ha!

I must be stronger
than I thought.

-Phew!
-[Bridget] You did it, Vee!

All the spells worked!

[sighs] I knew my family
just needed a little push

in the right direction.

And now, I can finally
enjoy the party!

Vee, you-- you gotta
come downstairs. Quick!

Somethin' weird is goin' on.

And not a good weird,
either. Look!

[grunting] Hey,
what's going on?

[whimpering]
Come back, sweets!

Oh, come back!

-[all scream]
-Oh!

That's not good.

-Aah!
-[Boris] Watch out, girls!

Runaway pianos!

Or should I say,
flyaway pianos!

This is a disaster!

And why can't I stop smiling?

Oh, Gregoria, I can explain.

-[Oxana] Help!
-[gasps] Oh, no! Mama!

Batkins! Something's
making the oven go h-haywire!

I don't remember
baking any of this!

[mouth full] And I'm
running out of room!

Mama, I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault.

Hold on. Let me get my--

Vee, we brought
the charm book!

We thought you might need it.

Thanks. OK.
Time to reverse some spells.

As I wave my arms,
reverse these charms!

[Oxana]
Ohh!

That's much better! Mmm!

[sighs] Nice to finally
feel my face again.

Never smiled so much
in my life.

[sighs] Just one more.

[gasps] I can
touch food again!

I thought I was cursed there,
for a minute. Mmm!

Where did all these spells
come from?

I'm sorry, everyone.
I performed charms

on all of you to help you
keep your resolutions.

I didn't want
any of us to fail.

Oh, Vee. It's OK to fail.

After all, I do it
all the time! Mmm! Mmm!

Learning something new
or getting better at something

is all about the journey.

The point is to never give up
and simply try your best.

So, I can help all of you

by letting you mess up?

That's right, little Vee.

And if we fail,
all you have to do

is encourage us to try again!

I can definitely do that
for an entire century!

And that'll mean I've kept
my resolution, too!

[all cheer]

Next, we'll have
a screaming set

from Justin Teether.

So make like a blob monster,
and stick around!

Hey, what about your promise
not to eat sweets?

I decided to have
one piece tonight

instead of my usual ten.

The key is to keep trying,
remember? Mmm!

-You got this, Demi!
-[gasps]

Mmm! Oh, sure! Mmm!

[mouth full]
It's so good! Oh!

Presenting vampire
upside-down cake!

-And it's-- uh-oh--
-[rumbling]

-Oh, no!
-It's gonna explode!

-[Vampirina] Watch out!
-Got it!

-[all] Wow!
-Next up, pianos!

I think we're already making
a lot of progress

-on our resolutions.
-Ta-da!

And I finally realized
how to be

the most helpful
vampire around!

What new century's resolution
did you guys come up with?

Our resolution is to give
our best friend

a big haunted hug every day.

It's a promise I can keep
for more than a hundred years!

[laughs] Me, too!
Happy New Century

to the best friends
in the world!

[all laugh]

[Vampirina]
"Bridget the Brave!"

Hey, Vee! Ready to play
some games?

So ready! But, uh,
before we play,

I have to clean my room.

Don't worry. We'll help.

It's a pretty batty situat--

Aah! Your room
is scary messy!

When you have super speed,

things can get pretty messy
pretty fast.

But we can clean up
just as fast!

Let's do it!

[Bridget]
Aah!

Oops! Sorry. That's my
jack-o'-lantern-in-a-box.

It's OK. I'll look
over here instead.

-[gasps]
-Hello!

-Aah!
-Oh, he won't hurt you.

Hi, Harry!

He's pretty cute.

I know. I'm sorry
I got so scared.

My room can be
pretty spooky.

Who knows what else
might pop out of this mess!

-Like me!
-Aah!

Oh. Wait. It's just Demi.

"Just Demi"? No.
I am Demi the Dazzling!

-You are?
-No.

But I'm trying out
a few new nicknames, eh?

Uh-- "Demi the Magnificent."

"Demi the Handsome."

"Demi the Does-Anyone-
Look-Better-In-A-Bowtie?"

Huh. What would mine be?

How about "Bridget
the Scared-All-The-Time"?

Everyone gets scared
sometimes.

I can't even think
about baby cows

without getting the shivers.

For me, it's slime.
[shudders]

[gasps] Those tubas
get me every time.

I mean... yes, slime.

Awful, sticky,
scary stuff. Yuck!

What we mean is,
it's OK that you get scared

by stuff in Vee's house.
It can be pretty surprising.

But I should be used
to how unusual

things are around here.
I wish I was more... brave.

You are brave! You're friends
with a bunch of vampires!

And ghosts, gargoyles,
skeletons...

You're really brave.
And we love you

exactly the way you are.

Thanks. I never thought
about it that way before.

-[game laughs evilly]
-Aah!

You found
the Skelly Run game!

But I got scared! Again!

Then let's practice
being brave

by playing Skelly Run.
You've played before,

so you'll know what to expect.

OK. Let's give it a try!

[whimpers] Why'd it have
to be spider webs?

Don't worry. You got this.

Ready? Skelly Run,
Skelly Run, boom, boom, boom!

Webs come out
and fill this room!

-Yay!
-Wow!

Now, get out there!

We'll be with you
the whole time.

No. I'll get
the skeleton... by myself!

B-B-Bridget the Brave
is on the case!

Oh, no! The attic!

That's the sp-spookiest
room of all!

[sighs] I'm going in!

Aah! I'm going out!

[pants] No!

I'm going to be brave!

[sighs] Nothing
to be scared of.

Just a dusty old book.

"A spell to make
someone fear--"

[gasps] I think
it says "fearless"!

Hang on, Skelly.
This spell

can make me fearless!
Which means I won't

be afraid
of anything anymore!

"If you're worried
about feeling afraid,

this spell
will give you an upgrade.

Just wiggle your hand
and stick out your thumb.

Now at last, you're--

fearsome?"

Wait. I thought
it was fearless?

Now, at last,
you're fearless!

I did it! I think...

Only one way to find out!

[panting]

Gotcha!

[gasps] I did it!
I was brave!

Mmmwah!

And I kissed a skeleton!

Guess what, everyone!

I got it! I'm br--

[all scream]

It's an adorable baby cow!

It's a slimy monster!

It's a tuba! [whimpering]

Wait! Stop!
What's going on?

Baby cow!

[mooing sound]

-Aah!
-Huh?

S-Slime monster!
[screaming]

T-T-T-T-T-Tuba!

The most terrifying
of the brass instruments!

I don't see a baby cow
or a monster or a tuba.

[all scream]

What's gotten into them?

[screams]

[sighs]

-Hey!
-Run!

-Watch out!
-It's a baby cow!

Save yourself
from the giant tuba!

What in Dracula's name
is going on around here?

Oh, hi, Bridget.

Something's got Vee, Demi,
and Poppy pretty spooked.

Have you seen
a slimy monster cow

that plays the tuba?
Something like that?

Well... I thought
I cast a spell

to make myself fearless,
and when I came in

to show everyone
how brave I am,

they all screamed
and ran away!

You cast a what, now?

[Bridget]
A fearless spell.

But now I'm thinking
it's not that at all.

This definitely
says "fearsome."

And a fearsome spell
makes everyone afraid of you!

But how?

When you're fearsome,

everyone who looks at you

sees the thing
they're most afraid of.

Ah, so that's why
Vee keeps saying

she sees a baby cow!
And Poppy hates slime!

And Demi's
afraid of... tubas?

Uh, yeah, something about
them being too shiny.

But you see me. Does that mean
you are afraid of me?

Ha! I'm not afraid
of anything.

What are we gonna do?

The good news is
there's a counter spell

to break the fearsome spell.

-Great!
-The bad news is

for the counter spell
to work,

the person who's fearsome -
that's you -

needs to take a hair
from a bat. The good news is,

Vee happens to be a bat.
Uh, but right now,

she thinks you're a terrifying,
adorable baby cow.

So I guess
that's bad news, too.

You have to find them
and tell them what happened!

I just hope they're not
too scared to listen.

[Vampirina]
We need a plan.

Ooh! Ooh! This is the plan!

Um, I'm gonna live
a nice, cozy afterlife

in this spacious closet.
Away from all scary tubas!

-Ouch!
-Sorry!

Someone's stepping on my toe.

Whoops! This is silly.

We can't stay
in the closet forever.

Besides, Bridget's
still out there!

She must be so scared
of the slimy monster.

You mean the tuba!

There's only one way
to get rid

of whatever it is.
Exit Elixir.

It's a potion. I'll explain
on the way to the lab.

We need to approach
slow and steady.

We don't want
to spook them any more

-than they already are.
-[gasps]

Anything you spray
with Exit Elixir

poofs out of the house
and can't come back in. Ever.

[squeals] Are they gonna use
Exit Elixir on me?

[clears throat]
If I may...

[all scream]

-[moos]
-Wha--!

[tuba tooting]

Please don't spray me
with Exit Elixir!

That went well.

You know this is no time
for a nap, right?

We need to get to the lab
before they make that potion.

But what if they poof me
out of the house forever?

I wish I could do this for you,
but you have to get

that bat hair.
It's the only way

to break the spell.
Bridget, you need to be brave.

I'm not brave. In fact,

I'm the most scared
I've ever been!

You don't need a magic spell.
You have what it takes

to be brave
right there inside you.

You face all kind of spooks
and scares in our house

on a regular basis!
You got this.

Almost finished.

Let's see
if our Exit Elixir works.

It poofed, all right.

Now we need to find
whatever that

tuba-cow-slime-monster is

and spray it
so it goes away forever!

It's now or never.

You gotta show them
it's really you.

[gulps]

-Wait.
-[all scream]

-[mooing]
-[tooting]

Don't be afraid.
It's just me. Bridget.

It's OK!

Vee, I think
that really is Bridget.

Don't you believe
that lying tuba, Vee!

Poor, sweet Bridget's
probably trapped

in its giant, shiny bell!
Poof it! Poof it away!

[inhales deeply]

[plays notes]

[screams, whimpers]

Bridget, is that really you?

Mm-hmm.

Only Bridget
would be frightened

by such a soft, sweet noise.

That's what I've been
trying to tell you!

I accidentally cast
a fearsome spell on myself.

That's why
you're afraid of me!

I just need
one of your bat hairs

to break the spell,
and then,

you'll see it's really me.

"If you do not wish
to fill others with dread,

place the hair of a bat
on the top of your head.

You will no longer frighten
a foe or a friend,

as with these magic words,
the spell comes to an end!"

-[girls] Bridget!
-Tuba-- I mean, Bridget!

I knew it was you
the whole time!

-Is that so?
-[laughs nervously]

We're so glad
to have you back!

I'm so glad you're not
scared of me anymore!

[sighs] And I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have

done that spell. I was just
trying to be braver.

You don't need
to be braver, Bridget!

Because what you just did
was one of the bravest things

I've ever seen.
You came in here to talk to us,

even though you could've been
poofed out of the house forever!

Vee's right. You're perfect
just the way you are!

I like being brave,
but if I had been

just a little scared,
I probably wouldn't

have messed with the spooky
spell book at all.

I'm proud of you, kiddo.

Thanks. The scariest part
was when I thought

I might never be able
to come to your house again!

-Aw!
-Now everything else
doesn't seem so scary.

[yelps] What's that?!

-[screams]
-[sighs]

It's good to be back.

-Bring it in.
-We love you.
