Back off!
Whoa. You're grumpy this morning.
His Aunt's in town, so he's crashing at my house this week.
Scored the top bunk, too.
No way, you get to have a sleepover party
for a whole week?
A what?
A sleepover! You know, staying up late,
renting movies, eating tons of junk food.
That's what we're supposed to be doing?
Duh. That's why they call them sleepover parties.
You've never heard of a sleepover party before.
No. So, we can have one tonight?
Whatever. As long as we eventually end up sleeping.
Hey! Guess what tomorrow is?
Jonesy and Nikki's anniversary!
What do you mean? They've only been dating for like months.
Exactly months. It's so major!
I guess it is pretty cool.
Oh, my gosh, there he is!
There who is?
Zane! The one I've been trying to get to notice me for a week?
The one who works at Belts Belts Belts!
I'll be right back.
I wonder what flavour I should get.
Mm, those smell good!
Fresh from the oven, huh?
The chocolate chip are really good.
Uh, yeah.
Hey, so do you like your new job?
One pecan glaze please.
OK! So, I guess I'll see you later.
Ouch. Burn.
That was ugly.

Ooh. Crash and burn, huh, Caitlin?
(Girls laughing)
Yeah, thanks for noticing!
(Groaning) That girl is so annoying.
Just ignore her.
JONESY: What? NIKKI: Never mind.
Guys, you made it! (Giggling)
Uh, yeah. We make it here every day.
No, I mean you made it to months!
Do you know what she's talking about yet?
Your anniversary. It's tomorrow!
BOTH: Oh.
Took us a minute to get it too.
Is this something that I missed and I'm already in trouble for?
Because if it is, I can explain.
Relax, Jonesy. I didn't know it was our anniversary either.
Phew.
So, uh.
Do you want to do something?
Sure, I guess.
CAITLIN: Oh, you have to celebrate!
And, to get you started.
Ta-da! (Gasping)
See? There's a for months.
Wow. You really need a boyfriend.
I have one! Well, not yet, but soon.
I even had a T-shirt made.
I'm speechless. I am actually without words.
I know, cute right? Green's his favourite colour.
Um, uh.
Nope. Still nothing.
WYATT: Aren't you supposed to be working at that
new pottery store?
You mean "No Other Clay"? I'm taking a strategic break.
There's a birthday party there right now.
You do not want to be around year-olds making pottery.
GIRL: I know, let's have a pillow fight and pig out on ice cream!
Dude, what are you doing?
Watching movies about chicks having sleepover parties.
Huh, so, what've you got there?
Girls Just Wanna Have Slumber,
Giggling After Midnight,
and Sneakin' Out.
No, no, no. If you're going to do this,
here's what you need. Pajama Apocalypse,
There's A Guy at the Window, and my personal fave
Sneakin' Out : The Sneakening.
The sequel's better than the original?
Do you trust me on this or not?
(Sighing) Okay, you know I love Jude,
but being around him / at work,
at school, and now at home--
Is starting to drive you postal?
Hey! You're supposed to braid each other's hair
and circle cute guys in your yearbooks.
Can we do that?
(Sighing) So, what are you going to get Nikki for your anniversary?index: ,…}:
What? I have to get her a gift?
Caitlin seems to think so.
But what?
I have no idea.
It's not that big a deal, is it?
It is one quarter of a whole year.
It's the beginning of a long term relationship
and a serious commitment requiring a symbolic gift.
I'm in a relationship?
Yes! After months it becomes a relationship.
Everyone knows that.
Whoa. So, I'm officially in a relationship.
Ooh, gotta run! Zane goes on his washroom break
at : every day. I'm going to try to cut him off.
Just when I think she's got a handle on this guy thing.
I know. Wham. It's gone.
Hm.
Can I help you young lady?
No, thanks. I'm fine.
Are you lost?
Nope.
What is it, miss, do you have to go?
Then you're going to have to vacate this area.
You're loitering outside a public lavatory.
But I have business here.
I thought you said you didn't have to go.
Okay, I'm waiting for this cute guy to come out
so I can talk to him.
Is this the cute guy?
No! Well, yes, but please don't.
Son, this young lady says she's waiting to meet you.
Is this true?
Well, I'm not sure.
You know what? I do have to go. Excuse me!
(Screaming)
I guess she really had to go.
CAITLIN: How can I ever face him again?
At least he noticed you.
Hey, what's up?
Don't ask.
Well, I got Jonesy's gift.
A DVD?
Not just any DVD.
The director's cut of Guys Doing Dumb Stunts.
No, no, no. That's way too small!
It is?
Yes! You have to get him something that says
"you are really special."
But he is. I mean, well, what do you think?
I guess. She's the expert.
Fine, I'll look for something else.
I've gotta go. Hang in there.
Bye.
(Gasping)
Caitlin?
Uh, she's not here!
Oh, that's too bad. I was going to ask her out.
You were? Why?
I thought you were really cute back there.
You know, at the washrooms.
Wow. Really?
Definitely. So, uh, your answer is?
Yes! Yes, yes!
Cool. Pick you up at .
Yeah!
(Laughing)
(Growling)
I have no idea what to get Nikki.
What if I get her the wrong thing?
You could make her some pottery.
Is that a nice enough present?
I used to make all my mom's presents and she liked them.
And it's free! Bonus!
Except I've never actually made pottery before.
No sweat.
I learned how to make bowls at camp one year.
I can teach you.
Sweet!
Hey.
Hey! So, what kind of sleeping bag do you need?
Just something to camp out on the couch with
until Jude goes home.
Here you go.
So, did you find something else for Jonesy?
Check it out.
Whoa, you got him an MP mini?
Wow. Will you, uh, excuse me?
But what about your sleeping bag?
Uh, right.
Nikki, are you crazy? This is way too expensive!
You don't get a guy something this big after months.index: , start: ,…}
You'll totally freak him out!
I will? Why?
It's too much pressure!
He'll think you're, like, in love with him or something.
Are you?
No! I-I mean, I don't think so. I--
Ah! Guess what? Zane asked me out on a date!
Ah! Oh, my gosh. I have to get ready!
So, back to these presents.
You have to get each other gifts that are the same value,
otherwise it'll throw off the whole balance of power
in the relationship.
I'll go see if I can find out what Jonesy's getting you.
Oh, this is worse than a calculus exam.
You're squeezing the clay too hard, dude.
Let your fingers be light.
Look, I'm trying to be gentle.
I've never done this before!
Okay, here. Relax your hands.
Now, start from the bottom.
See?
Wow, check it out! It's working!
♪
Dude! What are you doing?!
Nothing!
So, uh. How 'bout those Leafs?
Yeah how 'bout em. (Spitting)
Nice. I've got to clean that up.
Sorry, dude.
What do you think? I made it myself.
Looks like a breast.
What? No, it doesn't!
Yes it does, dude.
You made Nikki a boob bowl.
What are you laughing at? You made the lid!
Jonesy, I just saw what Nikki's getting for you.
What's with the breast?
It's not a breast!
It's a useful bowl for keeping stuff in.
Yeah, in the shape of a breast.
Well, I think it's a sweet gift.
Anyway, so what's Nikki getting me?
An MP mini.
Wow. That's big. Now my gift sucks.
Yeah.
I thought you said it was sweet!
Compared to a MP mini, it sucks, dude.
Nikki must really like me to get me a MP mini.
What does that mean?
It means welcome to relationship-land,
population two.
So, I'm going to be stuck with one girl
for the rest of my life?
Try not to look at it as a death sentence.
Think of it more as life without parole.
Ever.
Ah! How did this happen?
I knew it!
What am I going to do?
Well, you do really like her, right?
Yes.
So, you could keep dating her and see how it goes.
Okay, so suppose I'm going to give this a sh*t. What now?
You're seriously going to need a better present.
GIRL: Psst. Psst. Caitlin. Over here!
Hello? (Gasping)
(Shushing) We have to talk to you.
Mm-hm?
We know about your little crush on Zane.
You can't like him.
But I do.
You can't!
Why not?
Tricia and Zane used to go out,
but he brutally ditched her before the grade eight dance
for Hilary Sorkin just because she got braces.
Tricia was devastated.
(Crying)
So, you see why you can't go out with him?
No, not really.
You don't do that to another girlfriend.
But Tricia and I aren't even friends.
Irregardless! You can't go out with him!
Cancel your date tonight, or face social su1c1de
at this mall.
(Screaming)
It's worse than I thought! You have to take that MP mini
back or you could scare Jonesy away for good!
Well, what should I get him?
Something small.
Small. Right. I can do that.
Guys, I need your help!
Mandy and Gwen just told me I can't date Zane
because Trish used to like him.
Please. She's just jealous.
He doesn't even like her anymore.
Oh, you do not know the power of this girl, she can be so evil.
Like she's going to do anything.
I once bought the same sweatshirt as Tricia did,
and she snuck into my locker during gym class
and cut a hole in it.
(Screaming)
Caitlin, you can't let her push you around like this.
Yeah, you finally got Zane's attention!
You have to go out with him.
You're right. Okay, I'm going!
I warned her.
She is going to love this.
One personal video game player with instant message
capabilities. A fine choice. Here's your total.
Ouch.
Jude, you got some cheddar I can borrow?
(Chuckling)
What? You're the one who said
I needed to get something better.
Didn't know I was gonna have to pay for it.
You shouldn't buy toys you can't afford.
Yeah, it's not for me, okay, Yoda?
It's for Nikki.
This relationship stuff is expensive.
You had a crush on me last fall?
I didn't think you knew I existed!
Well I didn't, until you slammed your locker door into my face.
(Giggling) Hai! Spicy Spring Rolls!
Oh, we didn't order those.
They gift from pretty lady at other table. Hai!
Oh! That's nice.
She must have changed her mind.
About what?
Nothing.
(Wheezing)
Are you OK?
Hot!
(Panting)
It'll distract you from the pain.
(Panting)
"You're playing with fire, Caitlin,
and you're going to get b*rned?"
How'd they know you'd get this cookie?
Because it's from Tricia.
Oh, she's good.
But let's see how she likes this.
Oh, it is so on.
(Giggling) It was so great.
And the best part of the whole date was we bumped
into Tricia again at the movies!
Sounds really special, I guess.
It was! (Giggling)
So, how was the sleepover party last night?
Awesome! You can stay up until five
if you eat enough hot fudge.
(Groaning)
So, how was it really?
He braided my hair.
This is kind of my fault isn't it?
(Gasping) Caitlin the boyfriend stealer?
Oh! I told you she was evil!
They're everywhere!
Hey, guys. What's up?
Tricia's ruining my life!
Right, I saw the posters.
You know what? I'm going to get her back.
Caitlin? Zane.
Do you want to have lunch with me today?
Definitely. Great! See you then!
Cool.
Ha! Let's see how she likes that!
Whoa, I'm glad nobody's fighting over me.
Is he wearing your clothes?
There are s'mores all over his.
Why don't you exchange your gifts now?
Fine. Jonesy you first.
Okay. Well, here's the first one.
(Gasping) It's a personal video game player!
(Both gasping) This is a really big gift.
And he made you something, too.
Well, I did have some help.
Wow. It's, uh.
Is that a breast?
No, it's a boob. I mean, it's a bowl.
Okay. Nikki, your turn.
Oh no, no we really don't have to open mine now.
It's just a little something.
(Both gasping)
It's gum.
It's, uh, Big Baseball Chew. Your favorite.
It's a six-pack.
Wow. This is uncomfortable.
I've got to get to work.
I thought you were just giving her that breast thing!
I changed my mind.
It's all Wyatt's fault, he told me what to get her!
What were you thinking?
What happened to that silver MP mini?
I told her to take it back because Jonesy was freaking out!
How did you know that?
Because I was spying on you!
But that's what Nikki really wanted to get me, right?
Well, that one was kind of Caitlin's idea.
(Chuckling)
(Groaning) I've got to go, too. Later guys.
So, we kind of blew that one, huh?
Right out of the water.
If no one wants this, I'll take it.
(Grunting) Focus!
Sheesh.
We have to fix things between Nikki and Jonesy.
We do?
Yes! This is all our fault!
I know, let's send them on a date!
Yes! Wyatt, can you guys bring Jonesy to the movies at
You got it.
Caitlin, grab mushy movie tickets and I'll grab flowers!
Let's move!
Two for your most romantic movie!
Sorry, I can't serve you.
You've been blacklisted.
What? But these tickets aren't even for me,
they're for my friends!
Okay, but don't bother trying them at the gate.
Tricia's second cousin works there and he's real loyal.
(Gasping) I can't believe this is happening.
(Panting) Oh, no!
Oh no!
No!
(Gasping) Not the Khaki Barn, too!
I tried to warn you. Tricia can be very influential.
So can I.
(Gasping)
Oh, she's k*lling my social life!
Can you have your meltdown outside?
Tricia threatened to boycott The Khaki Barn
if we let you in here.
Oh, fine. Come on, Nikki.
Where are we going?
Oh, what is this a setup?
(Shushing) We messed up your anniversary
and now we're going to fix it.
Whatever.
Oh, fine.
How could you get me gum?
What does that say about our relationship?
(Shushing)
I am so sick of that word!
And-and why are you basing everything on some stupid gift?
(Shushing)
An MP mini wouldn't have been stupid.
Well maybe I wouldn't want you to freak out over
being stuck with one girl or anything!
Yeah, yeah! We're going!
That's it! This anniversary is over.
Fine by me!
CAITLIN: She can't do this to me!
I've got to make her change her mind.
Okay, if you want to get her to stop messing with you
you're going to have to remain calm and nice.
Remember, she's just doing this because her ego's been bruised.
Oh, Tricia! Can we talk?
Wow. Good fake smile.
Uh-oh.
(Screaming, struggling)
You can't have all the boys in the mall!
Oh yeah? Just watch me, Lemonhead!
(Screaming)
Let go of my hair!
What is going on here?
Back off Zane, this isn't about you!
Yeah, it's between me and Lemonhead!
Stop calling me that!
(Grunting)
You know what? I think us dating would just get in the way
of your fight with Tricia. I'm out of here.
Are you happy? You made him break up with me!
Actually, I think you did a pretty good job on your own.
You can let go of my hair now.
(Grunting)
Well so much for calm and nice.
♪
So.
So, I was thinking. What if we try--
We should break up.
What?
I don't think I'm ready to be in this big relationship.
It's just this anniversary stuff.
But that's just it. I don't want the Nikki and Jonesy
relationship to get between us.
We've been friends since we were .
Yeah, and I've had a crush on you since I was .
Really?
Yeah. This is going to sound really lame,
but I thought we kinda had something,
I don't know, like, special between us.
There is. I'm not saying forever.
Just for now. Okay?
Okay.
We are so hooked up for tonight.
What's in the bag?
Scary horror movies
and enough cookie dough to make us throw up.
You're still having sleepovers?
You said your aunt left two days ago.
She what?
Uh-oh. Was I not supposed to say that?
I haven't slept in days!
I'm going home for a nap, alone!
But dude, I've got cookie dough!
So, what about you and Jonesy?
You're really okay with this whole breakup thing?
Mm-hm. Maybe one day when things aren't so complicated.
Where is Jonesy?
Probably getting fired.
There were a lot of complaints from parents
about that breast bowl.
