During the preparations for the Annual Tri-State Cheer Offs, Chris-Alice has the Bullfrog cheerleaders do some last minute practice for the upcoming cheer off. Until disaster struck, the Bullfrog's tumbler was injured in an accident and Creepie has no choice but to fill in (Being recruited by her best friend, Chris-Alice, who saw her climbing down from the rafters). The students decided to meet at the school's football field, just to check what their newest recruit knows about cheerleading, so Creepie gives her gothic take on it. Resulting with Chris-Alice stating that they'll work on it. After school, Creepie returns to Dweezwold Mansion, she found her parents, Vinnie and Caroleena, also practicing the dance for their own night out. Meanwhile, it turns out that the cheerleaders of the rival middle school, Upperborough, stole the Bullfrog cheerleaders' routine. Gnat eavesdrop and flew to tell his human sister (The gnat was chasing a dragonfly across town and ended up at Upperborough were he found out about this). When the day for the Annual Tri-State Cheer Off came, it was then that the Bullfrogs discovered their routine being used. The Middlington Middle School students know that they cannot preform their routine for the judges, since this will result in being disqualified. So, the Cheechur girl and her friends came up with a last minute routine which wow the whole stadium. Later that day when Creepie returned home with a trophy and the dragonfly, she offered the latter to her foster mom.
