Vampirina: Teenage Vampire (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

And voila
Super speed isn't just
for escaping your enemies.
You'll come in handy
when we have to clean this place.
[chuckles]
This bat needed her cave
to be just right
before we start
our first day of school.
-Vee.
-[screams]
Yeah, you're gonna
take a while to get used to.
I don't mind the screams.
Kind of a compliment.
Look, the Vampire Council
sent a Ghost-Gram.
What's a Vampire Council?
Oh, who am I kidding?
What's a Ghost-Gram?
It's how a bunch
of old know-it-all vampires send messages.
In all fairness,
they're a group of elders
who use their centuries of experience
to protect all vampires.
Like I said, they're old.
And they're all wound
way too tight.
That's why in vampire
movie posters
we all look like this.
[hisses]
But they were nice enough
to let you leave Transylvania.
The first teenage vampire
in over 300 years to do so.
So the least you can do
is open their mail.
Fine.
[grunts]
[in deep voice]
Young Vampling!
There's been a spike
in Van Helsing energy in the area.
Use the enclosed Van Helsing detector
to prove Wilson Hall is safe
or vacate the premises
immediately.
Looks like there's
also been a spike in drama.
[both gasp]
[both scream]
The threat is real, Vampirina!
[grunts]
[regular voice] Oof!
Ghost-Grams give me heartburn!
Start packing.
You heard what possessed me,
there's a Van Helsing here.
Um, might be a Van Helsing.
Um, what's a Van Helsing?
Van Helsings
are vampire slayers, our sworn enemies.
They hide in the shadows
like we do.
But I'm done hiding.
It's my dream to be here
and nothing will stop that.
A Van Helsing will.
It's literally
in their job description.
"Stop vampires."
So if there's really
a Van Helsing here,
does this mean you have to
leave Wilson Hall?
-No!
-Yes!
Come on.
As long as my vampire identity
stays a secret, I'm okay.
Whew. 'Cause I'm kind of
a different person since I met you.
And the new me
would not let you leave.
Sit.
It's too dangerous here, Vee.
Maybe you could try
online classes?
I hear dungeon school is nice.
I belong here, Demi.
I get that there's a threat,
but that's why I have you, to protect me.
And apparently to deliver
disturbing messages.
So why don't I go
to my classes
and you use that thing to find out
if there's really a Van Helsing.
[knocking at door]
Guess who's here.
It's Elijah.
Come in.
Hey. Ready for our first day?
Lead the way,
my treasured comrade.
After you, m'weirdo.
-Slay! ♪
-S-L-A-Y ♪
Stepping out
into the light ♪
I have never felt so alive ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
S-L-A-Y ♪
Watch me shine,
shine, shine ♪
Slay! ♪
You're worthy.
You're strong.
You're gonna have
a great first day.
The needs of the one
-[clears throat]
-Huh? Oh, uh Oh, so sorry, students.
[over speaker]
I didn't realize the mic was already on.
Good luck out there
on your very first day,
you're gonna need it.
How lucky am I
to have all my friends in my first class?
All? Don't you mean both?
Most of my friends
are in Paris for Fashion Week.
Why don't you join them?
I wish your excitement
was contagious.
I've actually got
first day jitters.
Me too.
But I always mix those two feelings up.
They make my insides
want to be outsides.
I'll give you some room.
[chuckles]
[ominous ringtone plays]
I can't believe you made that
your mom's ringtone.
Please, she picked it out.
Aren't you gonna answer?
Nope, I already know
she's checking up on me.
She's got me enrolled in stuff
she considers "real" art.
Classical music,
classical literature, classical
Boring!
But I'm gonna try
to secretly change all my classes.
You don't have to whisper.
She's not here.
You don't know that.
Moms are everywhere.
You better do what she wants,
or she's gonna
pull you out of school
faster than I can switch notes
in an Ariana run.
Which is pretty
[vocalizing] Fast ♪
Thank you, Ms. Grande.
[chuckles]
[grim organ notes playing]
That's my jam.
Hello, students,
my name is Ms. Etherton,
and welcome
to Beginning Songwriting.
Now, we are
all songwriters here.
So grab something
to write with and let's make some magic.
It's happening!
Antique chic. That's a choice.
Vampires don't use pencils.
We don't like
little baby wooden stakes.
Oh, right, the whole
"stake through the heart" thing.
Switching to pens.
All right, class.
Lyrics, they like to hide
deep in your mind.
So sometimes we gotta
turn our brain upside down
and shake it
like a piggy bank.
So just write down
the first word that comes to your mind.
What are you doing?
Shaking the piggy bank.
All right, you Van Helsing.
I hope you're not here.
But I kind of hope you are.
Because I love being right.
[oboe playing]
Of course.
Always capturing the mood,
oboe guy.
Oh, and this is why
we write in pencil.
Sorry.
None of my lyrics were fitting
into this melody I've been working on.
Mmm.
[vocalizing melody]
I like that.
Okay, but let's focus
on the words.
What is the first thing
you wrote down?
Well, you said that lyrics
sometimes hide.
So I started
writing about hiding.
Not that I'm hiding.
Because I'm right here.
Hello.
[laughs] Okay.
So let's
Let's focus on your theme.
Why do you think people hide?
I guess people sometimes hide
if they don't feel like they belong.
Well, that's great.
And, well, was there
ever a time maybe
where you felt like
you didn't belong?
Yeah, kind of, um
Even now sometimes I feel like
I'm in the shadows.
But I'm hoping that will all change
now that I'm at Wilson.
Good, quill that down.
[ominous ringtone plays]
Ugh, Mom.
Hi. Mr. Carpenter?
Oh. Name?
Elijah, but I'm not
on the list.
I'm actually hoping
I could switch into your class.
Oh, sorry, it's full.
But as you can see,
I'm pretty flexible.
You will just have to
prove yourself
with an audition.
Yes.
Thank you.
You won't regret this.
I hope not.
-[joints popping]
-[grunts]
But I am regretting
this stretch.
[faint music playing
over headphones]
I love this thing.
I'd be breathless
if I needed to breathe.
Did you just twinkle?
Where are you,
you evil Van Helsing?
Mortals!
[metal clattering]
Uh-oh!
-[grunts]
-[gasps]
I don't mean to meddle,
but this guy sure does!
Is that your secret?
You like dad jokes?
Hmm.
[sighs wearily]
Oh, hi, Vee.
Enjoying your free period?
I was!
What are you doing, Demi?
I had to use my powers
to save Britney.
I could've been exposed!
Or Britney
could've been squashed.
Silver lining.
I will find
a less dangerous way
to prove there are
no Van Helsings here.
One that doesn't involve
a reckless ghost.
That felt targeted.
So, what is this
less dangerous way?
Uh
I've got this, roomie.
Not to brag,
but I'm kind of great at plans.
[grunts]
[exclaims] Phew!
That was easy.
Tell that to my face.
All we gotta do
is check the enrollment
and make sure
we don't see a Van Helsing.
It really is the perfect plan, Sophie.
I'm so impressed.
[doorknob rattling]
-What's that?
-My plan falling apart!
We're gonna
get kicked out of school.
I'm no longer impressed.
Hide! [grunts]
[doorknob rattling]
[chuckles softly]
I thought I was the only
cool breeze in this school.
Oh. What the
A bat! A bat! No, no, no!
Not the hair! Not the hair!
I have killed for this hair!
Oh, no, no, no! Shoo!
Shoo, you freaky night bird!
Shoo! Get out of here!
Shoo! Get in there!
-[screeches]
-[wings fluttering]
[screams]
Pencils!
[both screaming]
-[hip-hop music playing]
-[all cheering]
[cheering and applauding]
Wow, Elijah, really nice.
You're in. Derek, you're out.
Oh, no, I didn't want to--
No. I'm kidding.
There's room for everybody.
Derek, you're back in.
[school bell rings]
This is very serious, Vee.
You broke into my office,
and that is grounds for expulsion.
Oh, phew.
I thought I was getting
kicked out of school.
That's what expulsion means.
We might need to reevaluate
our admission standards.
Please don't!
What do you care?
You're outta here.
No, please don't kick me out.
I love it here.
This is what I've been
dreaming about my whole life.
Trust me,
I'm disappointed also.
I was such a huge fan
of your First-Year Showcase performance,
but I'm sorry.
Me too.
Would you mind if I stared
directly in your eyes and apologized?
If you insist,
but it didn't work
for my first husband.
And my second husband's
on shaky ground.
You are my biggest fan
and you will forget
everything that just happened.
Hello.
Dean Merriweather?
You there?
[school bell rings]
Okay, well, you're kinda
creeping me out, so I'm just gonna go.
Oh, and may the gargoyles
smile upon you.
You're doing a marvelous job
protecting Vee, Demi.
Why thank you, Demi!
And may I say, I have noticed that you
are over-worked and under-appreciated.
I'm trying to avoid
classical literature and classical music,
but I'm trying
to get into dance class, I'm telling you.
[gasps] The Van Helsing
detector is detecting a Van Helsing!
Huh.
Wonder where that went.
Vee! I was so worried
about you. What happened?
The Dean caught me.
I tried to mind control her
to be my biggest fan
so she'd forget
the whole "bat-tastrophe."
-Did it work?
-I don't know,
all she did was
zone out on me.
So we're gonna need another
one of your awesome plans.
Except this time,
make it a little more awesome.
Psst. Sophie! Vee!
Demi? What are you doing
in my soup?
It's the Van Helsing detector.
It shot this beam of light
somewhere like it was a signal.
-A signal?
-To who?
My parents.
Oh, Vampirina,
I'm so glad you're safe.
[both exclaim]
Mom, Dad,
what are you doing here?
I wish we were here
on better terms, my little Batkins,
but unfortunately
the Vampire Council was right
because there's a spike
in Van Helsing energy.
We came as soon as we saw
the bat signal.
We didn't even have time
to change.
I was busy
planting Venus fly traps
and your father was making
his blood pudding.
Ooh, this was
a good batch, too. [chuckles]
But don't worry, you'll get to try it.
We're taking you home.
I don't want to leave.
Well, that's not
your decision to make.
I was in full support of you coming here
but the situation has changed.
But, Mom,
if I don't use my powers
and reveal myself, I'm not in danger.
And this bat
is definitely flying under the radar.
[gasps] OMG! There she is!
The Vee Hauntley!
[exclaims] I'm your biggest fan!
Quick! You have to
sign my arm. Please, please.
I know all your songs.
Well, just the one I've heard!
It's supernatural
The way we get along! ♪
Oh. Did you write it about me?
[chuckles] Be honest!
Be honest!
No, no, wait. Wait!
Lie! Lie. [chuckles]
Um, the song I sang
for the Showcase
was just really well received.
OMG!
You two are Vee's parents!
Quick! Sign my other arm!
I'm sorry, is this normal,
professional behavior in the New World?
[grunts] Oh!
[hesitates] What's
What's going on here?
Why is your face on my shirt?
I hate
the first day of school.
Will you excuse me?
Haven't used your powers, huh?
Vampirina Bubonica Hauntley,
I know mind control
when I see it.
-[chuckles nervously]
-Let's fly.
Well, this is much bigger
than the dorm rooms at Transylvania State.
I got stuck
with the bottom coffin.
You know, if you had seen me
sing in front of the school,
you'd know
why this is important to me.
I felt so alive.
You say that
like it's a good thing,
but this hearse
has left the graveyard.
Can I at least stop by the dining hall
and say goodbye to my friends?
I did smell tater tots.
You get five minutes.
And you get five tots.
Why do you think
Vee's parents are here?
Do they just let parents
show up?
Is that a thing that happens?
And why was Vee getting all that attention
from Dean Merriweather?
Are her parents famous?
Is she a nepo-baby?
Because that's my thing!
What's happening?
Why are they holding
your suitcases?
Oh, should I go ask
if they need help?
Wait, Vee,
are you really leaving?
No, you can't! I need you.
We can't go down
without a fight.
We won't.
This time I've got a plan.
Can I borrow your guitar?
Thanks.
You know this one,
so grab your laptop.
Salutations,
matriculating students of Wilson Hall!
Hi.
Um, there's a saying
where I come from.
"In the darkest hour,
you find your greatest power."
So I have a song I'd like
to share with everyone.
Especially my parents.
It's just ketchup!
I worked on it
in songwriting class.
It's personal, but I hope
you all can connect with the message.

Oh, that was beautiful!

[laughs]
I did that. I'm her teacher.
Give us some.
Hey!
So? What'd you think?
You were amazing, vampling,
but you're still in danger.
I'm sorry.
Well, I guess it's not
the worst song in the world,
if you like good music
that's catchy.
[ominous ringtone plays]
There's your mom again.
Does she know
you changed all your classes?
She's gonna. It's time
she knows I just gotta be me.
Ugh, now you're quoting
the lyrics.
Hey, Mom,
I got something to tell--
Oh, a care package?
Cool, I'll look out for it.
Okay, bye.
You didn't tell her.
And mess up my care package?
Her chocolate chip cookies
are bussin'.
Well, when you finally
tell her you changed all your classes,
she's gonna be disappointed.
It's an arts school.
We're all
disappointing someone.
Vee, I truly am sorry
this is not going to work out.
Your song really connected
with everyone.
Even your father
was tearing up.
[groans] Allergies.
Lots of pollen
in the New World.
But I'm afraid
we can't change our minds.
The Van Helsing
threat remains.
That may be true,
but I promise I can keep myself safe.
You've prepared me
for the real world.
Please don't
take this away from me.
Vee
-Hold your corpses, Hauntleys.
-Demi!
Hello, old friend.
I must apologize
for summoning you here erroneously.
[sighs] I hit the wrong button
on the detector.
Honestly, a little instruction
manual would've been helpful.
So there is no Van Helsing?
-Nope.
-So does this mean I can stay?
Don't give me that look,
sweet fang.
Fine, she can stay.
Oh, my goblins,
thank you, Mom!
-Yes.
-You two are the best!
-[sighs]
-Oh.
-Okay, bye now!
-Oh!
Thank goodness that
bat signal was a false alarm.
Yeah. [chuckles] Funny story.
-It wasn't.
-It wasn't?
I lied.
I was hiding in someone else's soup
and heard you singing.
And I agree with you.
This is where you belong.
Demi, thank you.
That's so sweet.
It's actually
extremely reckless.
The detector says
there is a Van Helsing here.
Do you promise
to be more careful?
Cross my undead heart
and hope to live.
I really liked
your song today.
It was just what I needed.
-Thanks. Me too.
-[chuckles]
Me three, friends!
After a rough first day,
your song really hit me
in the feels.
Oh, and, Elijah,
this package came for you.
And, um, between us chickens,
any idea who wrote their name
on my arm?
Um
I think that says "Britney."
Bye.
[chuckling] Oh!
I think I might keep it.
Whoa.
This is not
a chocolate chip cookie.
My first slayer stake.
"Hope you had
a good first day of school,
"but just remember,
this is your future.
"Love, Mom."
