—Charlene to Charlotte | ||
Charlotte arrives in Clamburg with her grandmother Charlene. Charlotte immediately thinks that a girl named Vendetta likes her and wants to be best friends, not realizing that she is evil and wants to "destroy" her.
Plot summary
Charlotte, an optimistic and happy girl from Vermont, arrives at her new school in the town of Clamburg. After meeting the Giant Kitty in the school yard, she enters her new class room; room 4. She meets her teacher, Mr. Milk. After a while, Vendetta enters the room with her giant hamster, Grudge. Charlotte tries to "befriend" with Vendetta, and says she has a "pretty name". She eventually thinks they are best friends.
The "tentacled fiend".
Later at recess, Charlotte annoys Vendetta with singing and her extreme happiness. The next day at show and tell, Charlotte shows her hamster, Buttons, and a rock that Vendetta gave her. Vendetta brought a squid-like fiend, which Charlotte immediately thinks is a monkey (because in the original web series, it really looked like a monkey). The fiend takes Charlotte out to the yard, holding her in its tentacles. Vendetta leaves the school to get some clam ice cream. Just when the fiend is about to eat Charlotte, the Giant Kitty comes to her rescue. When Charlotte introduces Buttons to the Giant Kitty, it starts chasing Buttons and accidentally destroys parts of school yard.
Vendetta returns to the school and sees that Charlotte is still alive. Charlotte declares that she and Vendetta are "going to be best friends forever and ever," a concept that leaves Vendetta speechless with dread as the episode ends.

Marvin: My banana! |
Charlotte: [to the fiend] Hee-hee, you look like a monkey. |
Background information
- The episode is a remake of the web episodes "New Student" and "Show and Tell".
- Charlotte's grandmother Charlene was not featured in the web series.
- In the TV series, the Giant Kitty swings his paw at Charlotte and misses, right after meowing. In the web series, he swings at Charlotte, Meows in the process, and also hisses, however, the hiss is not present in the TV series.
- Marvin is showing his banana before Vendetta shows the fiend. In the web series, Marion is showing her glass horse.
- The fiend Vendetta brings to class is a huge, black, tentacled thing. In the web series, it is a red monkey fiend. That's probably why Charlotte says he looks like a monkey.
- In "Show and Tell", Malachi says "Tempt not yon hell cat". In this episode, he says "Tempt not yon fiend cat," presumably so the episode wouldn't be too profane. Also, Charlotte doesn't reply to Malachi in the episode like she did in the web cartoon.
- The first verse of Charlotte's monkey song in this episode was the second verse in "Show and Tell".
- The episode premiered on October 4, 2008 on Nicktoons Network.
- In the end credits, "first" in "Charlotte's First Day" is misspelled as "fisrt".
