00:00Here's a nice normal girl in an ordinary world
00:11Show us your flanks, yay Mona!
00:14It goes on like it's weird, soon it's everything you fear
00:18Show us your flanks, yay Mona!
00:22Grab your cat, grab your cape
00:25Boogeyman, there's no escape
00:28Give a heaping, heaping rims, find those Nazis, tell you when
00:34Tell you when
00:35Check the mail, there's a ghoul and a mommy's loose as ghoul
00:40Show us your flanks, yay Mona!
00:44Show us your flanks, yay Mona!
00:47Show us your flanks, yay Mona!
00:50Here's a nice normal girl in an extraordinary world
00:54Mona the Vampire!
00:58This is a live, on-the-scene tornado report
01:05I'm Ned Naderson
01:07Mom, I tore my vampire cape, saving the school from flesh-eating trolls
01:11Can you sew it for me?
01:13This town into a frenzy, picking up anything that isn't nailed down
01:20But don't worry about me
01:22Our crack news team is monitoring the situation
01:26In the K-R-A-S-T-V van, and in the first sign of trouble
01:30Hey Dad, what's a twister?
01:41Well, uh, you see?
01:43What are they made of?
01:44Where do they come from?
01:45Where do they go?
01:46A twister is a big, whirly pool of wind with a big empty hole at its center
01:54Whoa
01:55Some of them are huge
01:58They can suck up refrigerators, cars, sometimes even houses
02:02And because they're made of air, they can come and go in the blink of an eye
02:07They're whirling voids
02:10A whirling void
02:14Honey, do you know where my other blue sock disappeared to?
02:18Probably the same place as my sunglasses that disappeared yesterday
02:21Yeah, looks like we've got our own whirling void in town
02:25Did you hear that, Fang?
02:27A whirling void is in our town
02:30So that explains what happened to my missing monster magazine
02:36Your old fleet collar, and the top button from Dad's Hawaiian shirt
02:40It all makes sense now
02:43The whirling void took them
03:06Oh, and hello, Bernice
03:26Bernice?
03:28Yahoo!
03:29Good afternoon, ma'am
03:46My vampire towel
03:51It's disappeared
03:53That clinches it
03:55There is a whirling void in town
03:58No
04:08No
04:10Not here
04:12Hey, little Miss Fancy Kate
04:14What are you looking for?
04:15Invisible ghost ants?
04:17No, she's not
04:18Are you?
04:21No
04:22Actually, I'm looking for a whirling void
04:25See?
04:25There's no such thing as a whirling void
04:28You just made that up
04:29For your information, whirling voids are big, whirly pools of air
04:33They're invisible and get around by hiding under hats, in pockets, sometimes even in water bottles
04:40They're extremely hard to catch
04:42Then why are you trying to catch one?
04:49Because one stole my vampire towel
04:51You see, the whirling void got into the pool area by stowing away somewhere
04:56Probably in somebody's bag
04:59Then it sucked up my vampire towel
05:02And made good its escape by hiding inside a bag of cheese snacks
05:07That isn't what happened
05:14Then what did happen to my vampire towel?
05:17Well, uh...
05:19Well, it was obviously a...
05:22A cat burglar
05:24He made sure no one was looking
05:26And then he scaled the fence
05:28Spotted your towel
05:29Snatched it
05:31And left
05:32And that's exactly what happened
05:35A cat burglar?
05:37That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
05:39It was obviously the whirling void
05:43Cat burglar
05:45Whirling boy
05:47Cat burglar
05:48Well, we're going to catch the whirling void and prove it
05:52No, you're not
05:53Because George and I are going to catch the cat burglar first
05:56We are?
06:00I found this at the scene of the crime
06:03A restaurant menu from the sushi stop?
06:06The whirling void must have left it behind
06:08You think whirling voids eat sushi?
06:11Are you kidding?
06:11That's practically all they eat
06:14So, Takaki
06:20You were saying you did have a mysterious disappearance here recently
06:24Yes, very mysterious
06:26A pair of shoes went missing from the tatami room yesterday
06:30Missing shoes
06:32But even more mysterious
06:34Another pair of shoes was left behind me
06:38Men's pair
06:40Size 11
06:40Hopelessly out of date
06:42And quite muddy
06:43Very interesting
06:46Enter this as evidence
06:48I don't get it, Mona
06:49Why would the whirling void take one pair of shoes
06:52And leave another pair behind?
06:54It's quite simple, really
06:55The whirling void snuck into the restaurant
07:01And decided to sample the sushi
07:03But in sampling the sushi
07:07It mistakenly ate a piece of hot wasabi
07:09And coughed up the muddy parachute
07:11Before escaping
07:15It snatched another pair of shoes and disappeared
07:17Charlie, what kind of petal is that?
07:21This?
07:21It's the petal of a rose hill cybedium
07:24And only one person in town grows these flowers
07:27Mrs. Brierson
07:29Boy, we are really making progress
07:32I wonder how Angela and George are doing
07:34Help!
07:36Get me down!
07:38Next time I reenact the crime
07:41So, Mrs. Brierson
07:43You didn't see anyone or anything come through your flower bed?
07:47No
07:48It must have happened while I was at the salsa fest
07:51Who do you think's responsible?
07:53Not who, Mrs. Brierson
07:55What?
07:57Your flower bed was a victim of the whirling void
08:00Oh dear
08:02Should I contact an exterminator?
08:04Look!
08:05What do we have here?
08:07A beautiful silver-plated pen
08:09Only one place in town sells beautiful silver-plated pens
08:14Well, here we are
08:17The beautiful silver-plated pen shop
08:20Excuse me, sir
08:22Do you recognize this pen?
08:26Indeed
08:26It looks just like the pen I sold Mr. Tuckerfield yesterday
08:30Mr. Tuckerfield?
08:32Without a doubt
08:33He came in here complaining about his two tight shoes
08:35He talked about the Japanese restaurant he'd just lunched at
08:38Then he bought this pen and left
08:40Two tight shoes?
08:43Japanese restaurant?
08:45Think back very carefully
08:46Did anything strange happen yesterday while Mr. Tuckerfield was here?
08:50Come to think of it, yes
08:52A customer made a complaint about losing his wallet
08:55Interestingly enough, I actually found a wallet a little later
09:10Guess who's
09:12Mr. Tuckerfield
09:14Well?
09:22Look, this is getting us nowhere
09:24Hang in there till tomorrow morning and the pool security will get you down
09:27Huh?
09:30Uh-oh, busted
09:31What, may I ask, is going on here?
09:36We're hot on the trail of a cat burglar
09:38He snuck in here this morning and stole a vampire towel right off the premises
09:42Vampire towel?
09:43That's funny
09:44I saw Mr. Tuckerfield walk out of here with a vampire towel this morning
09:48Mr. Tuckerfield?
09:50Mr. Tuckerfield?
09:52Mr. Tuckerfield was at every crime scene
09:57And that can only mean one thing
09:59Whirling Void is traveling with him
10:02Mr. Tuckerfield, he's the cat burglar
10:07Huh?
10:10No
10:10Angela
10:11There he is
10:13Look!
10:13Tuckerfield!
10:15It's time to make a citizen's arrest
10:17Not so fast, burgle guy
10:20What?
10:22What are you doing?
10:23Not here
10:24Not here
10:25Not here either
10:26Aha!
10:27I've got it!
10:35Wait, Mona!
10:36Think of something!
10:37Charlie looks like he's going to be sick!
10:41I have an idea!
10:43We can counteract the whirling light spinning motion by blowing against the character clockwise!
10:49Start blowing!
10:51Woohoo!
10:54It's working!
10:55Keep blowing!
10:56Keep blowing!
10:57Woohoo!
11:04We did it!
11:06What is going on here?
11:10Mr. Tuckerfield?
11:11Mr. Tuckerfield?
11:13You picked up the wrong glasses when you came by the store this morning!
11:18These are your glasses!
11:22Hey!
11:23Things aren't fuzzy anymore!
11:25Glad to be of service!
11:26Thank you, Mr. Shensky!
11:29Hey!
11:30These aren't my shoes!
11:32Of course not!
11:33You cat burglared them!
11:34Of course he didn't cat burglar them, Angela!
11:37Because he had the wrong glasses on,
11:39Mr. Tuckerfield has been picking up stuff that isn't his by accident!
11:43No offense, Officer Howlcroft,
11:45but it sounds kind of far-fetched to me!
11:48I'm sticking to my theory!
11:50The whirling void may be gone,
11:52but it will return!
11:53Somewhere, someplace!
11:55Heh heh heh!
11:57Holy boy!
12:04The town!
12:05Quiet!
12:06Calm!
12:07A peaceful place where nothing much happens!
12:10Or so it would seem on the surface!
12:13But I know the truth!
12:15The hidden secrets!
12:16The shadowy tales!
12:17The mounting terror!
12:19The grits!
12:20Mona?
12:21Mona?
12:22Are you still up?
12:23I'm just finishing up my diary entry, Mom!
12:29Like I was saying,
12:30I know the secrets this town hides.
12:33The unseen tales of terror concealed within his shadows.
12:43Coming!
12:44Oh!
12:45Ow!
12:46Coming!
12:47Hello?
12:48No, I do not want to join the Bubblegum of the Month Club.
12:52What?
12:53I've been robbed!
12:54Mrs. Bryerson's garden gnome was the first to disappear.
12:55Juliet!
12:56I think somebody took our garden gnome!
12:58Nooo!
12:59No-oooo
13:08Nooo!
13:09Juliet, I think somebody took our garden gnome.
13:21No!
13:26The next day at the town hall meeting...
13:29Please, please, we'll get to the gnome graces.
13:38But first, there are a couple of other items on today's agenda we have to deal with.
13:44First order of business.
13:46The Historical Society has tabled a motion to rename Genghis Khan Memorial Park to Royal Park.
13:53All in favor?
13:54Aye!
13:55All against.
13:59The motion is passed.
14:02Next order of business.
14:04For the third time in three weeks, an anonymous individual has tabled a motion to rename Cresthaven Street, Dracula Drive.
14:14All in favor?
14:15Aye!
14:16All against?
14:18Nay!
14:19The motion is defeated.
14:21Again.
14:23Next order of business.
14:25This gnome crisis.
14:27Considering the seriousness of the situation, not to mention my impending re-election campaign,
14:43I'm setting up a task force to deal with the gnome nappings.
14:47Officer Howlcroft will get right on it.
14:50I'm on garden gnome duty.
14:53You have got to be kidding.
14:54While the local authorities launched their investigation, I decided to launch my own.
15:01So you think there's more here than meets the eye?
15:03Absolutely.
15:04It's time I launched a full investigation as...
15:07Mona the Vampire!
15:09Detective.
15:14The first step in my investigation was a trip to the library.
15:20Ah-ha!
15:28That's the book I'm looking for.
15:35Local legends and stuff.
15:40Here it is.
15:41What's it say?
15:42Long ago, the land upon which this town was built was peopled by gnomes.
15:49But they were not the only forest dwellers.
15:54For sharing the area with the gnomes was a tiny druid community.
15:58As it turned out, neither group saw much of the others, and both lay claim to the forest.
16:12Finally, the day came when the gnomes had had enough.
16:16I've had enough!
16:17It's time we rid our forest of those annoying druids!
16:21Hooray!
16:22Yay!
16:23Yaboo!
16:23Yaboo!
16:24Yaboo!
16:24Yaboo!
16:27But the druids were waiting for...
16:29Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
16:33Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
16:37Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
16:38The druids turned the gnomes into stone, and finally had the forest all to themselves.
16:43Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
16:46Until two years later, when they decided to move to a warmer clime, namely Florida.
16:53Wow.
16:55Let's go.
17:01Officer Hellcroft already came by to search for clues.
17:05Maybe he did, but even he doesn't have the keen eye of a vampire detective.
17:10Pardon me?
17:11Aha.
17:13No footprints.
17:16Actually, my niece and nephews came by yesterday, and they were running around.
17:21Aha.
17:22An Alaskan travel brochure.
17:24Possibly left behind by a forgetful gnome.
17:28Actually, I...
17:30Hold on.
17:32I'm coming.
17:33Oh, damn it.
17:35It's coming.
17:37I don't believe it.
17:40How did Officer Hellcroft miss this clue?
17:42A macrame owl?
17:44No, Lily.
17:45Not a macrame owl.
17:47An ancient druid mystic symbol.
17:50The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place.
17:53Obviously, the gnomes have awakened from their ancient curse.
17:57They've turned back into flesh and blood.
17:59But what are they plotting?
18:01How do a travel brochure and that, um...
18:05Macrame owl?
18:06Ancient druid mystic symbol figure into this diabolical stew.
18:11Where should we look next?
18:13The woods behind the church.
18:15Where else would the gnomes hide out?
18:17But we're outnumbered, so we'll need the element of surprise.
18:22I have an idea.
18:24Give me a hand with these old blankets and this can of paint.
18:27That was the perfect place to stash our loot.
18:51No one ever comes out here.
18:53Huh?
18:55Huh?
18:57Ooh!
19:01Yeah!
19:04Yeah!
19:06Yeah!
19:12Ah!
19:14Ah!
19:15Ah!
19:16Hmm.
19:17I'd swear those kids were up to something.
19:20I didn't know what George and his friends were doing there, but they weren't our main target.
19:33Druid!
19:39Please, please don't turn us back into stone!
19:42Don't hurt us, Mr. Druid!
19:44We don't want to hurt you.
19:45In fact, we're not really Druids at all, just kids in incredible disguises.
19:51But if you gnomes aren't plotting a nefarious scheme, then what are you up to?
19:56After five centuries, the curse that turned us into stone finally wore off last night.
20:02We thought we could move back into our old neighborhood, but everything is different now.
20:06So, we're moving.
20:08Then what about this travel brochure?
20:10That's where we're moving to, Alaska.
20:12Alaska, since the Druid's headed south, we want to be as far away from them as possible.
20:16Then what about all these garden gnomes?
20:19We're covering our tracks, creating real stone duplicates of ourselves.
20:23That way, our owners will be none the wiser and we'll be finally free to go.
20:28Then what about this ancient Druid mystic symbol?
20:32Eh, that's just a macrame owl.
20:35Oh.
20:36If you don't mind, we really have to hurry up and finish these phony gnomes.
20:40We don't want to miss our flight.
20:43It sounds like you guys need help.
20:48Have a good flight.
20:50Don't forget to write.
20:51And don't worry, we'll put these replicas in their rightful place.
21:02Oh.
21:03Hold on, I'm coming.
21:05Oh, for goodness sake, keep your shirt on on, I'm coming.
21:10Oh, these fenders don't foldoneo like they used to, but I can fandango with the best of them.
21:16Well, sure, skydiving will keep your adrenaline going.
21:19Keep you young, I think.
21:21Bye now.
21:22Oh, my.
21:30Oh, my.
21:43Juliet, it's back.
21:46And so, the mystery of the missing gnomes was solved.
21:52For most.
21:54First order of business.
21:55For the fourth time in four weeks,
21:58an anonymous individual has tabled a motion
22:03to rename Cresthaven Street Dracula Drive.
22:07All in favor?
22:09Aye.
22:09All against?
22:11Nay.
22:12The motion is defeated.
22:15Again.
22:18And now, a quick update on the gnome crisis.
22:21Some local kids admitted to taking the garden gnomes as a prank.
22:26Evidently spooked by something,
22:28they returned every one of them before turning themselves in.
22:34Wow.
22:34Do you really think we scared George and his friends so badly
22:38that they actually admitted to a prank they didn't pull?
22:40Well, there can't be any other explanation.
22:46Greetings from Gnome, Alaska.
22:51Mona?
22:53Uh...
22:54Can you read your own lines?
22:55Oh, my.
22:59Well then...
23:04Oh.
23:08!
23:09And remember,
23:09you can talk.
23:10All right.
23:10And we're traveling.
23:11We're traveling.
23:12First order does not have a consequence of it.
23:13It can take skin of you.
23:14If you can talk to him for a surgery.
23:14You can talk to me after a Jur-Pnome.
23:15If you don't have a chance of eating.
23:16So, you can see.
23:16Why don't we want to eat out?
