Plot[]
Vampirina wakes up and finds herself on the ceiling. The Hauntleys show up and mention it's April Ghoul's Day. Vampirina loves Transylvanian tricks and pranks, and Gregoria knows it all too well. Boris mentions the holiday brings the family together, and Oxana continues that a day of surprises awaits them after breakfast. Vampirina heads downstairs and Chef Remy Bones brings her to a seat when Vampirina tells him about April Ghoul's Day. Demi then sits on an OooOoopie cushion. Oxana and Boris put one on Vampirina's chair last year.
Oxana serves Vampirina breakfast, and Demi opens it to reveal snakes, which he did last time. Vampirina mentions that if all of the pranks are the same as last year, they won't be very surprising. Boris understands, and since the Hauntleys live far from Transylvania, they'll have to make do with the same tricks from last year. Vampirina decides to bring Poppy and Bridget, as they don't know the Hauntleys' pranks.
The Hauntleys hide and Vampirina greets Poppy and Bridget, where they get slimed. Vampirina magically cleans them and mentions how great April Ghoul's Day is. Poppy and Bridget like it, although they never played magical pranks before. Vampirina takes them to the bathroom to wash the slime off when it is revealed that Demi is holding troll and werewolf masks in the mirror so that it looked like Poppy and Bridget, respectively, were wearing them. Downstairs, Oxana creates an ice puddle for Poppy and Bridget to slip across, and land in a spider web. While the Hauntleys have a quick snack break, Poppy and Bridget fear getting pranked again and assume all the jokes are on them. They decide to tell Vampirina about playing some jokes when Bones' hand puts jumping beans on Poppy and Bridget's shoes. They decide to head home, as April Ghoul's Day isn't their thing. Vampirina prevents Demi from further pranks. Poppy and Bridget thought they would be playing pranks together, but all the pranks were played on them, and Vampirina apologizes for getting too excited about April Ghoul's Day and not letting them in on the fun. Vampirina decides for her, Poppy, and Bridget to do a prank on Oxana and Boris.
After Vampirina goes through different options, Poppy and Bridget know some human pranks Gregoria's never seen before. As Oxana, Boris, and Gregoria have breakfast, they get pranked, courtesy of Vampirina, Poppy, and Bridget adding squeakers in the salt shakers. They then go to prank Demi and Bones before concluding how spectacular the pranks were. Vampirina tells Poppy and Bridget that the best part was having fun together. The Hauntleys apologize, as they have more fun when they stick together. Doing so together makes them friends, and Vampirina thanks Poppy and Bridget for making the day a great April Ghoul's Day. Poppy and Bridget have some ideas for next year, and when everyone goes to get snacks, Bridget pranks everyone with a wind-up unicorn.
