WHAT did you DO to my SCAMPERS?!?

— Yo

Digital Pet Cemetery is episode 4a of Fanboy and Chum Chum of season 1.

Yo lets Fanboy and Chum Chum take care of her Yamagutchi digital cat Scampers, but Fanboy goes nuts and overfeeds him, causing him to "power down". They bury him at a sacred grave at the graveyard to bring him back to life, but Scampers winds up coming back as a digital zombie as a result.

Plot[]

Yo asks Fanboy and Chum Chum to watch her beloved digital pet cat, Scampers, for the night. They are super excited, but at night Fanboy is at the end of his rope (form the meowing a lot) he feeds Scampers too many cupcakes and as a result he Powers Down!

So they go to Oz and he said to bury Scampers in the Digital Pet Cemetery and it will return to electronic life. Scampers comes back, but as a terrorizing digital zombie! He tries to get revenge, but Fanboy and Chum Chum keep killing and burying him, repeatedly. Soon Yo comes back and told that Scampers turn into a zombie, so they try to get away for Scampers. Oz comes and kills Scampers. Scampers comes back out of the Fanvision so big that Oz couldn't stop him, but his mom could when she gave out cupcakes (which Scampers still likes). Chum Chum then teases Scampers, but after he answered Fanboy's question ("Are you sure you want to tease Scampers like that?"), Scampers eats Chum Chum whole.

  • The last time Scampers came alive again he was not buried.
  • In this episode, Scampers comes alive, but he is seen in his case in "Saving Private Chum Chum". However, Yo could have easily bought another Yamagutchi.
