[Vampirina]
"Fang Ten."

Whew!

I don't remember it
being this hot

last year in Pennsylvania.

[Boris]
The human weatherman said

it will be extra sunny
this weekend.

So we stocked up on
super-strength vampire sunblock.

And I found this.
Guess it doesn't work on ghosts.

But it does work
on gargoyles.

Nothing cools
a monster down better

than my ice-cold slimesicles.

-[Vampirina] Thanks, Chef Remy.
-Oh, no. Brain freeze!

-Ah!
-Demi,

you don't have a brain.

Oh. In that case, mm!

The slimesicles,
the hot weather.

This reminds me
of Screechy Beach.

Oh, that used to be
quite our old haunt.

What's Screechy Beach?

Only the most bat-tastic
Transylvanian beach

this side of the full moon.

The perfect place
to lay in the sand

and rest your weary bones.

Oh, and there are all kinds
of food stands.

Awesome,
epic sandcastle-building.

And, of course, surfing.

You know, your mama used to be
quite the surfer.

Oh, that was hundreds
of years ago.

Whoa! Like on a surfboard,
in the waves, riding the water?

Your mom was a legend.

Any monster who was anyone
had heard of her.

I wish I could've seen that.

Wait a spooky second.

Why don't we go
to Screechy Beach this year?

Well, no one is booked
at the Scare B＆B this weekend.

And we haven't been
in so long.

Plus, we're all out
of slimesicles.

I think it's
a spooktacular idea.

[excited chatter]

[Vampirina]
Wow.

Yay!

I haven't had slimesicles
in ages.

I just made you some
this morning.

Oh, I am going to find
a place to relax.

[barking]

And I'm going to get started
on my sandcastle.

Want to join me, Vee?

Maybe in a little bit.

I'm really excited
to watch Mama surf.

Do you surf too, Papa?

I tried, but I totally
wiped out,

and your mom
had to come rescue me.

Actually, it's how we met.

[laughs]
Aw.

Nowadays, I prefer to keep
my wings dry

and cheer from the sand.

Which you are
the very best at.

What do you say, Mama?

Can we see your monsterific
moves, please?

All right, if you insist.

Be back in two shakes
of a bat's tail.

♪ There's no better feeling
In the monsterverse ♪

♪ Nothing else
Can quite compare ♪

♪ Surfing is the eeriest
Experience ♪

♪ Some would say it's better
Than the world's best scare ♪

Whoo-hoo. Incredible!

That was fang-tabulous!

Oh, I wish I could do that.

Whoa, gnarly wave.

That was totally
frighteous.

Narcisa. Cosmina.

Ghoul evening.

Was that the upside-down
bat-tail slide we just saw?

Yes.

I'm abso-spookly amped.

What's an upside-down
bat-tail slide?

That's your mom's
spooky famous surf move.

It's totally boo-dacious.

Terror-rifically tubular.

Oh, you two can really
fang ten yourselves.

Is Mama speaking
another language?

Well, that's just how monster
surfers talk to each other.

I don't understand them either.

I can translate for you.

Let's see.
"Bodacious" means "awesome."

"Tubular" also means "awesome."

And "fang ten" is...
some kind of house plant?

Are you learning
to surf, Vee?

Your mom was your age
when she started.

You and your mom
are so similar.

I bet you'll be a
spook-tastically rad surfer too.

You really think so?

Mama, will you teach me
how to surf?

I want to do the upside-down
bat-tail slide

so I can be just like you.

Hm. Surfing is very difficult.

But I'd be happy to take you
under my wing.

Yay!

[sighs]

[barking]

[Oxana]
All right, batkins.

First, we practice
on the sand.

When you're out on the water,
you paddle out.

Then slide forward
and stand up.

[Vampirina]
Wow!

You're amazing, Mama.

Now, go ahead.
Give it a try.

[whimpers]

-Oh, shrieks!
-Oh, most monsters stumble

the first time.

Don't worry,
you'll get it.

[grunts]

-Yeah!
-Go, Vee!

That's a big improvement,
batkins.

Thanks.

What about me?
How am I doing?

-Look at this.
-Nice technique, Demi,

but you may want to aim
a little higher.

-Oops.
-[all laugh]

So, Mama, what about all those
spooky-cool surf moves you did?

Oh, yes,
there was the alley-goop.

Whoo!

The tombstone flip.

Ew!

-Whoa.
-And my signature move,

the upside-down
bat-tail slide.

Whoo!

Oh, that's the one
I want to do.

Whoa! Oh!

Oh, that needs work.

[both laugh]

How long did it take you
to do that move, Mama?

Well, legend has it
that Oxana invented

the upside-down bat-tail slide
on her first day.

Totally boo-dacious, Demi.

Yeah, bat-tastic, Demi.

You make it look so easy.

[barks]

Huh?

Ah! Sacre boo!

Wolfie, Wolfie,
give me that back!

Now that we've practiced
on the sand,

let's catch some waves.

You really think I can, Mama?

Don't worry, Vee.

Every surfer has to try
their moves

out on the water
to really learn.

Ooh! Does that mean I can try
the upside-down bat-tail slide?

I think that's a little too hard
for you right now, batkins.

But you did it
on your first day.

Well, most monsters
need to work up

to a complicated move
like that.

Why don't we start
with the basics...

right after I get another coat
of Mr. Blob's Surf Wax

onto my board.

Be right back, screamheart.

[sighs]

All right, almost done.

Just finishing
the last detail.

Perfect.

-Hey!
-[Remy gasping]

Pardonne-moi.

That is my arm.

[Wolfie barks]

Wolfie! Get back here
with my foot!

Any of you want to help me
rebuild my haunted sandcastle?

Sandcastles are great.

It's just, I was hoping
surfing would be my thing.

Aw, and it still can be, Vee.

Everybody said Mama
was so good at it right away.

But it's so much harder
for me.

Moms and daughters
aren't always alike.

My mom loved guarding
bell towers.

You wouldn't catch me
doing that.

Too much ringing
in my ears all day.

But I want to be
just like my mom.

Not every monster can do
what she does in the water.

And you haven't even
been in the water yet.

Wait a second,
maybe that's it.

Once I get out on the waves,

I'm sure I'll be able to surf
just like Mama.

And I'll be able to do the
upside-down bat-tail slide too.

Yeah. Wait, that--

That's not what I meant!

Don't worry.

I'm a really good swimmer,

and I can turn into a bat
if I get into trouble.

Vee, wait! Uh-oh.

I'm on it.

Gee, the water sure is boring,
huh?

How about we go back and sample
some more slimesicles?

But this is my chance to prove
that I'm just like Mama,

with the upside-down
bat-tail slide.

Whoa! Whoa!

-This is--
-Vampirina!

--harder than I-- Whoa!

Oh, batkins,
are you all right?

You shouldn't go in the water
without me.

You scared me,
and not in the fun way.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I was trying to do
the upside-down bat-tail slide.

But why, batkins?

I wanted to be
just like you.

But I couldn't understand
your surfing language,

and I didn't get the surfing
pose on the first try,

and I couldn't even do
your special move.

[sighs]

I guess I'm not
like you at all.

Oh, just because you aren't
naturally good at surfing

doesn't mean
we aren't alike.

There are lots of things
that come easily to you,

but for me,
they take a lot of work.

But you're good
at everything.

Oh, I can't play the spookylele
like you can.

And you know what I did
when I learned I wasn't so good

at spookylele?

I tried to learn the hardest
song on the first day.

It did not go well.

That's when Gregoria first
got her stone earplugs.

[giggles]
I never knew that.

So you see? We both want to be
the best at everything we do.

But every vampire learns
at her own pace.

It doesn't matter if it takes
you one day

or one year
to learn to surf,

or if you never
surf at all.

I'm proud of you
just the way you are.

Thanks, Mama.

I think I would still like
to try surfing.

But I'll start
with the basics.

Will you still teach me?

You bet,
my little beach bat.

Steady. Okay, now,
slowly stand up on the board

like we practiced.

Whoo-hoo!

Yay, Vee! That's my girl.

I did it!

I caught my first wave!

That was so fun.

And totally, completely...

boo-dacious.

Oh! Now you're getting it.

That was bat-solutely
incredible.

I'm the proudest vampire ever.

Attention, Screechy Beach.

This is my fangtastic family.

-[bathers cheers]
-[Vampirina giggles]

Thanks, Papa. Mama's right,
you are good at cheering.

So, what do you think
of surfing, Vee?

I love it.

But I think it would
be way more fun

if we all did it together.

You heard the vampire.

Surf's up.

[Boris]
Whoo! Yeah!

[grunting]

[barking]

[all cheer]

[howls]

[sighs]

-[sniffing]
-Ha-ha-ha!

Finally, the last one.

You mischievous mutt.

[laughs]

I hope Screechy Beach
was as wonderful

as you imagined, Vee.

It was even better.

-[Gregoria] You go, girl!
-[excited chatter]

[Vampirina]
"Science Rocks."

[Mr. Gore] Okay, kids, okay,

it's time for the announcement

you've all been waiting for.

Our special guest this Friday
will be the one,

the only, Dr. Jem Geodopolis!

-Huh?
-What?

Rock and gem stone expert,

and president of the
Pennsylvania Geological Society.

-[crickets chirp]
-[Mr. Gore] Hm.

Anyway, we'll be doing a little
contest this week.

Your assignment
is to come up

with a rock-themed
science project.

The most rocking project...

[chuckles]

...will be awarded first prize,

and the winner will present
his or her project

to Dr. Geodopolis herself.

[excited chatter]

Maybe it'll be you, Vee.
You're great at science.

Thanks. I am pretty proud
of my science skills.

What are you going
to do for your project?

I'm not sure yet.
But I have lots of ideas.

Whatever it is,
you'll rock it.

[all laugh]

Mama, I'm--

-Watch out!
-Coming through!

Whoa!

-Gotcha.
-Got it!

Oh, nice catch, Vampirina.

Aunt Olga!

Nosy.

I didn't know
you were visiting.

We were flying through town,

and Nosy really wanted
to see you.

Aw, Nosy.

I'd love to spend
all night playing,

but I have to get to work on
my science project for school.

Oh! And what's our little mad
scientist's latest project?

It has to be
all about rocks.

So I'm going
to use chemistry

to make a super-special
rock candy.

That sounds fang-tastic,
batkins.

But I don't want Nosy
to be lonely.

Maybe Demi and Gregoria
can help.

One of them can assist you
in the lab

and the other can look after
Nosy until you're finished.

[cooing and giggling]

[both]
I'll help in the lab!

I just got this
super-stylish lab coat,

perfect for a lab assistant.

Demi!

Whoa! Hmph!

Okay.

Transylvanian Rock candy
is easy.

You need sugar, water,

and a stick for the crystals
to form on,

a dish to hold the mixture,

and enough time
so the crystals can grow.

How much time
we talking here?

Bedtime's approaching fast.

Need my boo-ty sleep.

Rock candy can take a week
to form,

but my monster
chemistry book says

if we add a dash
of rainbow essence,

it should only take an hour.

Ooh, sparkly.

Now we just
have to figure out

which other edible
Transylvanian ingredient

will give my project
that extra something special.

Whoo-hoo! Let's do it!

I know I want it to be
a spooktacular,

special Vee discovery.

Mr. Gore says experimenting
is an important part

of the scientific process.

So that's what I'm going to do.

First, let's try...

frog's breath.

-Test tube, please.
-Oh! That's my cue.

I love being
a lab assistant.

Should I hand it to you
like this, or like this,

or maybe like-- Whoa!

Never mind.

Just a dash.

-[frog croaks]
-Ah!

Let's cross frog's breath
off the list.

We'll try...

snapdragon oil.

Maybe this'll make my rock candy
extra spooktacular.

Oh, I'm feeling good
about this one.

Or should I say,
feeling goo'ed.

That didn't work either.

I'm going to have to try adding
every edible ingredient I have

to the rock candy solution
until I get the right mixture.

[bubbling]

-Oh.
-[sighs]

Whoa! Aah!

Whoa!

Aw.

So, what's next?

Something a little
less shocking, maybe?

We've tried every
edible ingredient

in the potions cabinet,

and we're no closer
to making something special

than when we started.

Sorry to interrupt,
but Nosy really wanted

to see her favorite cousin.

[cooing and giggling]

And I wanted to see how your
rock project is coming along.

Things aren't going well.

Chin up, Vee.

Science is all about testing
to see what works

and what doesn't.

The fact that you're
still trying

says more about you than--
Nosy!

-Nosy?
-Uh...

No, no!

[giggling]

Nosy! Oh, stop!

Watch it.
Get that baby.

Got you. Oh, no.

[Nosy cooing]

Oh! Got you!

[shudders]

How about we call this
for the night?

Can I please stay up
just one more hour

so I can see this final
rock candy form?

It'll be here
in the morning.

Okay.

-[door opens]
-[Demi] Vee, come quick!

Turns out I'm not such a bad
lab assistant after all.

Or maybe her friend
who's made of rocks

knows what she's talking about.

What's going on?

See for yourself.
Come on!

I can't believe it.

I made an amazing rock candy.

One of my ingredients
must've worked.

-Which one?
-Transylvanian tap water?

Huh. That's the last ingredient
I thought would do the trick.

But it doesn't matter,
because it worked.

I told you.

We both told her.

Wow, Vee,
that's amazing.

I wish my project
was that cool.

What is it?

My pet rock,
Miss Cuddle Cakes the second.

[giggles]
I should have known.

What about you, Poppy?

I researched all the geodes
in our backyard

and catalogued them.

Cool.

What's yours, Edgar?

Uh...

I'm a rock star.

I think I misinterpreted
the assignment.

Oh, beautiful geodes, Poppy.

Well done.

And last but not least, Vee.

Is-- Is your rock candy glowing?

Sure is.

[Mr. Gore]
It's beautiful.

[chuckles]
Mind if I have a taste?

That's what it's here for.

Mm, mm, mm.

Oh, my.

This doesn't just look
like it's glowing,

it tastes like it's glowing.

I think we have our winner.

-Can I try?
-Me too.

-[girl] And me.
-Everyone can have some.

I'll just make
another batch tonight.

It was amazing.

Everybody wanted to try some,

and Mr. Gore
selected my project

as the winner to present
to Dr. Geodopolis.

Oh, I am so proud.

We knew you could do it.

And I'm sure your adorable
lab assistant didn't hurt.

Never doubted you
for a second.

Why, thank you.

I meant Vee,
you goofy ghost.

So all we have to do is wait.

I don't understand.

I did everything the same
as I did yesterday.

Didn't I?

Seemed the same to me.

Why don't you start
from the beginning

and retrace your steps?

Good idea.

♪ Let's go back
To the beginning ♪

♪ Redo what we did
Yesterday ♪

♪ For results to be
Repeatable ♪

♪ We work the scientific way ♪

♪ All our steps
We must retrace ♪

♪ Set each beaker
In its place ♪

♪ Put each test tube back
The way it was ♪

♪ And think like
A scientist does ♪

♪ I tried lots
Of different potions ♪

♪ But none worked wonders
By themselves ♪

♪ And then Nosy raced
Around the room ♪

♪ Until she bumped
Into the shelves ♪

♪ See right there
The stardust spilled ♪

♪ In the mixture
It distilled ♪

♪ Yes, that's it
We've solved it now because ♪

♪ We thought ♪

♪ Like a scientist does ♪

You did it!
It's glowing!

That's it.

Nosy must have knocked over
this sh**ting stardust,

and I bet some of it
got into my mixture.

But that means
I didn't discover

the special rock candy
ingredient.

Nosy did.

But you still
figured it out.

You'll have plenty of glowing
candy for tomorrow.

I can't be the winner
if I didn't find

the special ingredient.

It was all a big accident,

not a super spooktacular,
special Vee discovery.

What am I going to tell
Mr. Gore and my class?

[school bell ringing]

[Poppy]
Today's the big day, Vee.

Are you excited?

I-I guess.

I mean, of course.

Super excited.

Make sure to wear this for your
picture with Dr. Geodopolis.

We want everyone to know

you are a first-place
winning scientist.

Okay, kids.

It is my pleasure
to introduce to you

the biggest rock star I know.

[laughs]

Dr. Jem Geodopolis!

-[applause]
-Thank you, Mr. Gore.

It is wonderful to be here.

I'm told I'm about to see
something amazing.

Vampirina, is it?

That's me. But--

Vampirina has always shown

such a special talent
for the sciences.

But even I couldn't
have predicted

something this special.

Mr. Gore, can I say something?

-Oh, of course.
-Thanks.

I know everybody is really
excited about my rock candy.

But, uh, I shouldn't
get credit for it.

Oh, don't be modest, Vee.

You made something amazing.

But I didn't.
It was all an accident.

I spent all night trying to make
an extra-special rock candy,

but nothing worked.

And when I woke up the next day
and saw the glowing candy,

I thought I did it.
[sighs]

But when I tried
to make it again, I couldn't.

So I retraced my steps.

That's when I realized
my baby cousin

had accidentally
spilled something

into one of the mixtures.

So it wasn't me who discovered
the special ingredient.

It was Nosy.

I'm sorry, everyone.

You can have this back.

I don't deserve it.

You know, Vee,

some of the greatest discoveries
in science history

were accidents.

Like microwave ovens.

If it weren't for those,

I don't know how I'd make dinner
every night.

When you weren't able
to recreate your experiment,

did you give up?

No.

You retraced your steps,

and worked backwards
until you figured out

how to repeat your results,
right?

Well, yes, but--

That's what real scientists do
every day.

We make mistakes all the time.
That's how we learn.

-It is?
-Of course.

We all make mistakes.

But it's how you handled it
that really matters.

Wow, I never realized
that making a mistake

could be okay,
or a good thing, even.

You're a true,
young scientist, Vee.

Like all the greats.

Like Dr. Frankenstein?

[giggles]

I mean, like you,
Dr. Geodopolis.

Now, how about that photo?

Don't forget this.

-[applause and cheers]
