"The Critter Fair!"

I don't know about other
werewolves,

but belly rubs
are Wolfie's favorite!

[both laugh]

I can't believe you have
a real pet werewolf!

[panting]

-[laughs]
-It took me a few screams

-to believe, too.
-[cat meows]

Huh?

What was that?

Please tell me
you have a were-cat, too!

-[meow]
-That's not a were-cat!

It's the Black Cat Express!

[meowing]

Ooh! It looks like
a spooky invitation!

-[animal noises]
-[all gasp]

[Vampirina]
"Calling all volunteers

and future pet owners

for the annual
Transylvanian Critter Fair!"

I love the Critter Fair!

Um, what's a Critter Fair?

It's where Transylvanians
can find a new pet.

That's where we got Wolfie

when he was
just a little were-puppy.

You mean there are even more
kinds of monster pets?!

Dr. Paquette has
every magical critter

-you can imagine!
-So cool!

-Wow
-Critters!

Why don't we volunteer?

I bet Dr. Paquette could use

all the extra paws
and claws he can get.

I'm in! Transylvanian pets
are cute, right?

Of course! Especially
the creepy-crawlies!

Then I think we should do it!

-Bat-tastic!
-Awesome!

Let's ask our parents!

-[Edgar] Wow! Cool!
-[Bridget] Amazing!

-[Gregoria] Rock on!
-[Demi] Whoo-hoo!

Here we are!
The Critter Fair!

-Wow!
-Awesome.

C-Can I have a treat now?

-These are pet treats.
-[panting]

Right! Ooh!
Want me to roll over, hm?

Hi, Dr. Paquette!

Grrrreetings!
I was happy as a howl

to see you and your friends
signed up to volunteer.

How many critters are there?
Are we talking giant lizards?

Unicorns? And can I pet
all of them?

[laughs] Since this is
your very first Critter Fair,

let me give you the ghoulish
grand tour to start!

I've assigned each of you
a critter to look after.

I just hope
I'm not afraid of mine.

I want the weirdest one!

Now, let's see. Vampirina,

you'll look after
the were-puppies,

and Poppy will watch
the baby dragons.

-Spooktacular!
-You can count on me!

And Bridget...

Please don't be scary!

You get the magical kittens!

Did you say magical kittens?!

I love kittens!

And how about me,
Dr. Paquette?

Oh, Edgar, you get

one of the most interesting
critters here.

Ahh!

You'll watch over...

a hamster!

Huh?

We call him Pipsqueak!

He was the smallest
of his litter.

But... we have hamsters
in Pennsylvania.

How can they be a weird
and awesome monster pet?

Monsters adore
their tiny fangs.

And Transylvanian hamsters
really come alive at night!

Aw, man...

Now, it's up to all of you
to look after your critters.

-[girls laughing]
-But I won't be far,

so give me a howl
if you need me.

-[yapping]
-Aw!

Aren't you scary
and adorable?

I love you! I love you!
I love you!

Hey, Pipsqueak.

Aw, what a cute
and fluffy critter!

I guess. But he's just a--

-[barking]
-[gasps] Were-puppies!

-My favorite!
-[yaps]

OK, everyone, it's up to us

to help these critters
get adopted.

I bet if we show off
what they can do,

everyone will visit
our booths!

I don't know if Pipsqueak
can do anything.

You just have to get
to know your critter!

Once everyone sees
how fun these critters are,

they'll definitely want
to take them home. Ready?

-Ready!
-Let's do it!

I guess.

A-one, a-two,
a-one, two, three!

Awoooo!

[all weakly howling]

I wish hamsters could howl!

Monsters love spooky sparks!
Give me a fireball!

Now, that's
a cool monster trick!

[chittering]

Ready... set...

Poof!

[laughs] Good kitties!

Now everyone will want
one of your magical hugs.

[gasps] Howl, Pipsqueak!

Come on!

[yawns]

Breathe fire!
You can do it!

Can you poof? Even a little?

[chitters]

[sighs] Who am I kiddin'?

You're just a hamster.

Want a scarrot?

That's all
you can do, uh-huh?

Why couldn't I get
a real monster pet?

How's it going
with Pipsqueak?

All he does is
roll in his ball

and eat scarrots.

He might not be
what you expected,

but I'm sure he's still
a great little critter.

-Uh...
-[puppies howling]

[gasps] Ooh! Better get back
to the puppies!

Mmm! [gulps] So, what's
your critter's trick?

Hm. Nothin' that special.

-Mmm! Mm!
-[croaking]

Hey... since Pipsqueak
is asleep,

I bet I could help other,
more magical critters

get adopted. Oh, he won't
even miss me!

But what if he wakes up
from his hamster-nap?

[Edgar] There. He'll have
a snack ready when he does.

Ooh, I'll be right back!

[Gregoria]
Demi!

Have you seen
the werewolf snacks?

Mmm! Ooh! [giggles]

Now, this is more like it!

-[yaps]
-What a spooktastic day

of helping critters
find homes!

I could snuggle
these cats all day.

I only have two
baby dragons left,

and I'm pretty sure
they'll get adopted

by the end of the day!

How 'bout you, Edgar?

-Huh?
-Ohh, yeah!

Edgar went to help
the other critters. Heh.

Did I forget to mention that?

So, he left his hamster
all alone?

Oh, no! Pipsqueak
isn't here, either.

Here, little hamster!
Where are you?

Oh, he's definitely
not in here.

[gasps] But now I am! Help!

Can someone remind Demi
he's a ghost?

Oh, yeah... yeah.

This isn't good.

We gotta find my brother!

And Pipsqueak,
before he gets hurt!

[loud thudding]

[all exclaiming]

I don't remember
any of our critters

sounding like that.

[chittering]

[all scream]

-[croaks]
-Is that...

my hamster?!

Oh, no! Pipsqueak!

I'm coming!

So that's what
Dr. Paquette meant

when he said hamsters
really come alive at night!

[both howling]

[both meowing]

Stay, kittens! Stay!

The dragons!

What in werewolves
is going on?!

Why is Pip roaming
out of his cage?!

It's my fault.
I left him alone.

I didn't know he'd turn
into a hamster-zilla!

I'm so sorry!

But Edgar, why did you
leave your critter?

I wanted to check out
the other animals.

I didn't think Pipsqueak
was magical at all!

-Turns out, I was wrong.
-[heavy footsteps]

Really wrong!

It's OK. But we need
to catch the critters

before they all get away.

Can you get Pipsqueak
to come to you?

I doubt it!
I couldn't get him

to learn any commands
like your critters.

The only thing he would do
is eat scarrots!

That could work!

Grab as many scarrots
as you can!

-On it!
-And we'll wrangle
the rest of the critters

before the whole fair
is a critter-tastrophe!

[Edgar]
Here, Pip!

Come have a scarrot!

It's not working!

Oh, no! We can't
let him stomp,

or more animals
will get loose!

How are we gonna do that?!

Does Pipsqueak like anything
else besides scarrots?

[squealing]

He loves rolling!
In his hamster ball!

That'll keep him
from stomping!

Then, let's find
his ball! Fast!

[squeals]

There's no way
he'll fit inside this!

What do we do?!

Uh, what's this do?

-[gasps]
-Whoa!

Hamster ba*ls back home
definitely don't do that!

Aw, I can't believe

he really was magical
all along.

That's Transylvanian pets
for you! Let's get rolling!

[both grunting]

[chitters]

I've dealt with trolls
and giants,

but never something this big
and so horrifyingly cute!

Here, boy! Down here!

Look, boy! Your ball!

[squeals happily]

-[squeals]
-[all grunting]

-[sighs]
-[Bridget] Yay!

We did it! He can't
do any stomping in this!

Now, let's get
the rest of the critters

back to their booths!

[chittering happily]

[purring]

Dr. Paquette, I'm sorry
for leaving Pipsqueak alone

when it was my job
to look after him

and help him get adopted.

I didn't realize
how magical he really was.

Oh, all critters are magical,
in some way or another.

Including
Transylvanian hamsters!

-[loud rumble]
-[frog croak]

Oh, no, did he get out again?!

Oh-h*! That is
his new family!

He caught the eye
of a lovely family of giants.

[sighs] He's adopted,
thanks to you!

-[laughs]
-And so are
all of our critters!

Great work, everyone.

We're glad we could help!

And we definitely
got to know

all of our critters
in a pretty big way.

[laughs]
You can say that again!

So, can we come back
next year?

Count me in for magical kittens
every year!

And the Transylvania
hamsters for me.

I'll bring the scarrots!

-[all laughing]
-Oh, Edgar!

[Vampirina]
"Mirror Monster!"

Bon appetit!

[laughs] Thanks, Chef Remy!

-[doorbell rings]
-Ooh, that's my friends!

Huh? Poppy?

Bridget?

-Hi, Vee!
-Hey!

Looks like you've got
some monster-sized mail.

Ooh, I bet that's my order
of 2000 bow ties!

Or it could be
my new massage stones!

I got some serious knots
in my back.

They're practically boulders
at this point!

Let's bring it in!

-[all grunting]
-Our new guest is here!

-[Demi] Huh?
-[Bridget] Really?

We're hosting
a mirror monster!

And mirrors are very fragile,

so they always travel
by delivery.

A mirror monster?! Oh, no.
Just when I thought

there couldn't be
any new kinds of monsters!

Oh, don't worry.
I've heard mirror monsters

get along with everyone!

I've always wanted
to meet one!

[gasps] You know,
this new guest

is unbelievably handsome!

Oh, my, hello, ghoulgeous!

[laughs] Ooh!

-Wow!
-Wow!

You must be Rippley!

We're absolutely spooked
to have you!

And I'm spooked to be here!
Every monster in Transylvania

is talking about the Scare B＆B,
so I had to come, too!

Ah! Fangtastic.

Vee, why don't you show
our new guest to his room

and give him a tour
of the house?

I'd love to!
Ready for the tour, Rippley?

Ready if you are!

Then, let's get you upstairs!

[chuckles, groans]

You know, this is gonna be
a very-- [grunts]

--slow-- [grunts] --tour.

Oh! I can do the tour this way!
Makes it a little easier.

-Wow!
-Cool!

And maybe I need
a quick costume change, too.

I love your outfit, Vee.

Black is also
my favorite color!

You look spooktacular!

Now, you're
matching monsters!

But I didn't get
the black tie memo!

Don't worry,
I think a purple bowtie

would go perfectly with this!

-Aw!
-[Poppy] Whoa!

Can all mirror monsters
do that?

Of course! Mirror monsters
can wear what you wear

and do what you do!

Almost as if you're looking
in a mirror!

Well, can you flip?
Can you swim? [chuckles]

Can you give
ghostly good hugs?

[groans]
He's a mirror monster.

Of course he can!

Heh, come on.
I'll show you to your room.

This is where
you'll be staying.

There are always
extra skeletons in the closet

if you need any.
And that's the monster

under the bed.
He's very friendly!

-Do you like it?
-This is screamtastic!

I love scary and spooky stuff,
just like you!

We're like two pumpkins
in a patch!

I can't wait to see
the rest of the house!

This is our Scare B＆B kitchen.

Whatcha makin', Chef Remy?

Oh! Tonight's meal,
my favorite:

Screechy Peachy Pizza!

When you bite into it,
you screech!

No way! Screechy Peachy Pizza
is my favorite, too!

Oh, really? Then you must have
a Screechy Peach!

They're magnifique!

Mmm! Magnifique, indeed!

Should we continue the tour
to the backyard?

Of course!

Hello, my little bats! Look!

I've finally managed
to get my screaming violets

-to bloom.
-[flowers screaming]

They look dreadful, Mama!

Ooh, I know! [laughs]

Rippley, do you like
screaming violets?

Uh, well... I--
I mean, yes!

They're my favr-- Achoo!

Achoo! Well,
they make me sneeze,

but if you like 'em,
I love 'em!

Why would Rippley
love a flower

that makes him sneeze?

He must really love
screaming violets.

Gregoria, do you like
rock gardening?

'Cause if you do,
then so do I!

Finally, a Scare B＆B guest
with some taste!

I garden with granite,
marble, and slimestone.

What kind of rocks
do you like?

Uh... the same ones as you!

You know what's much better
than gardening with rocks?

Juggling with rocks!
[laughing]


You know, I haunted a carnival
a couple of centuries back

and earned the nickname
"Demi the Amazing!"

Juggling is so my thing!

I love that you like
the same things I do!

Heh! Who knew Rippley

had so much in common
with all of us?

Yeah! He really does.

My outfit, Mama's flowers,
even Demi and Gregoria!

Your mom did say
mirror monsters

get along with everyone.

That's true.

I bet he's just having fun
with all of-- Aah!

-[screaming]
-Bridget, are you OK?

It's just Penelope!

-Aah!
-Oh, no!

Penelope scared Rippley, too!

Sorry! I just got used to Demi
popping out of the walls.

I'm not used
to everything spooky yet.

Oh, me, neither.

[gasps] Spooky things
scare you, too?

Oh, yeah! Every time
I see something spooky,

I hide behind the nearest
piece of furniture.

Me, too!

Sorry Penelope scared you.

But Rippley, I thought
you loved spooky things.

Like the skeleton
in the closet?

And the monster under the bed.

Well, uh, I do, but...

I'm also a lot like Bridget?

-[timer dings]
-Oh! The pizza must be ready!

Better get it
while it's hot and screamy!

OK, now I'm really confused.

Earlier, Rippley told me
he loved all things spooky!

Maybe he's just trying
to make Bridget feel better.

Yeah. Maybe...

[Wolfie growling]

Hey! What do you know?

Tug-of-w*r is
my favorite game!

And rope toys are
my favorite kind of toy!

Rippley loves everything
Wolfie loves, too?

OK, that is strange.

Uh, Rippley, are you sure
you like playing

with werewolf toys?
It's OK if you don't.

Uh... who doesn't
love chew toys?

Huh. I never thought to try!

[Gregoria]
It won't taste very good!

Chew toys are for werewolves.

And mirror monsters!

We like what all of you like!
Wolfie, too!

But you told me
you like spooky things,

and then you told Bridget
you didn't.

So, how can you like them,
but also not like them?

Right. It's just that,
um... I...

Vee did make a good point.

Yes, she did... but...

Ohh!

Oh, no! I didn't mean
to upset him.

Ooh! Follow that ripple!

[Vampirina sighs]
Rippley,

I'm really sorry
if I hurt your feelings.

It's OK, Vee. You were right.

I always like everything
that everyone else does,

even though
it's not really me.

But why?

I'm a mirror monster!

Being the same as you
is what we're good at.

What you like, I like.
What you do, I do.

That's how we got a reputation

of being so easy
to get along with!

But it's OK to be different
from us, too.

We'll still be your friend!

It's just easier
being like everyone else.

So I can be playful
like a werewolf. [growling]

Or silly, like a ghost.

Or just like you, Vee.

A stylish
and confident vampire!

But Rippley, you don't
have to be like me. Or Demi.

Or everyone else.
You should be yourself!

Really! You can
be honest with us

about what you like to do
and who you are.

But, it's just that...

I'm nervous to be myself!

What if I don't
make any friends?

Or what if nobody likes me?

I totally understand
where you're coming from.

You do?!

Sure! When I first came
to Pennsylvania,

I was really nervous
to be myself.

I had no idea
how humans would react

to me being a vampire.
But it turns out,

when my friends
got to know me, they liked me!

It's true! I never thought

I'd be best friends
with a vampire.

We love Vee because
she's different from us.

Poppy, Bridget, and I
are all really different.

Like apples and ogres!

But we still find things
we like to do together.

Like play music!
We even have a band!

I'm even friends with Demi.

Who knew I'd ever
love a ghost so much?

-Mmm!
-[giggles]

Wow! Maybe you're right.

Maybe mirror monsters

don't have to always be
like everybody else.

Exactly! Just be you.

All right.
Then I'm going to do it!

I'm going to try being myself!

Then let's get to know
the real Rippley!

Aw!

OK, Rippley. Go ahead!

You can tell us
what you really think.

Well, to be honest,
I actually prefer

monsterella pizza
over Screechy Peachy.

That looks monsterlicious!

Oui! I've never
seen anything like it!

I must have the recipe!

Thanks! And Mrs. Hauntley,

I should have
told you earlier.

I don't really like
screaming violets.

Their screams make me sneeze!

-[violets screaming]
-Achoo! Achoo!

I'm sorry. Would you like

to replace it
with something else?

I prefer spider decor!
It's really got more legs.

Hello!

-Oh! It's frightful!
-[kids giggle]

So, do you still
like rock gardening?

Well, never actually done it,

but since rocks
don't make me sneeze,

I'd love to give it a try!

Great! I'll go get
my pumice pruners!

Penelope loves you!
And so do we!

Then I should show you
my spooky style, too!

You look fangtastic
in black, Vee...

But I prefer something
a little louder.

Ooh, nice! Spooky and chic!

And there's one more thing
that I like to do.

It's pretty different.
I've never shown anyone before.

Whatever it is,
we'd love to see it.

Well, I love to dance!

♪♪

-[Bridget] So cool!
-[Demi] Wow!

That's the most ghoultastic
thing I've ever seen!

Rippley, that was bootiful!

I can't believe we almost
didn't get to see that!

It was amazing!

And totally you!

It feels so good
to show you all the real me!

Now, I'm not afraid
to be myself!

We're so glad we finally
got to know the real Rippley.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

-Uh-huh!
-Time for a hug!

-Bring it in!
-Thanks, Vee.

Thanks, everyone.

Uh-oh! I guess we have
to break it to Wolfie

that you don't like
playing tug-of-w*r!

-[whimpers]
-Oh, that's OK!

I actually really do
love playing tug-of-w*r!

It's another thing
that makes me... me.

[all laugh]
