Okay, Sharon.

We’re all here.

So what’s this amazing idea you

had?

(Giggling)

Ew!

Cool.

It’s a decoration for my

brother’s annual scary movie

marathon.

Or should I say ours.

What do you mean?

Well, Adam’s too busy to host

this year, so I thought maybe we

could do it.

I totally love throwing

parties.

We could even do it outside

in my backyard!

And invite everybody we know.

So, is that a yes?

Definitely!

Okay, but can we avoid the

gory movies?

They make me wanna hurl.

Aw, don’t worry.

If it gets too scary I’ll hold

your hand!

(Maria gasping)

Oh, gee.

Thanks.

Hey, I’m there for ya.

That kind of stuff doesn’t

scare the Brockmeister.

I’ve got nerves of steel.

Is that so?

Why don’t we pick cheesy old

B movies about monsters and

aliens?

They’re more funny than scary.

Yeah, I love those.

(With British accent) Oh my

God.

Are those washing machines?

So I’m told.

Laundry and food, together at

last.

Did you want a juice or not?

I suppose, but only if it’s

freshly squeezed.

(Nina groaning)

Who is she?

Whoever she is, she’s got

Nina on a short leash.

What in the name of Chanel is

that?

A monster hand.

It’s for this party we’re

planning.

Well, I guess you have to

amuse yourselves somehow.

Sharon, I see you’re getting

reacquainted with my cousin

Petra.

I’m sorry, have we met

before?

When we were little she came

over from London for a visit,

and here she is again.

My parents’ idea.

I don’t know what they thought

I’d do in "Elkberg".

What’s wrong with Elkford?

Well, it’s very quaint, but

your fashion boutiques are in a

time warp.

Just look at poor Nina’s outfit.

What’s wrong with it?

Yeah, Nina has great clothes.

Uh, well, you do.

Nina does her best, but

you’re years behind the trends

over here.

When we were little, even my

dolls were better dressed than

Nina’s.

Now I remember!

You were there when--

The heads were snapped off

all my dolls.

(Laughing)

When did you finally figure out

I was the one who did it?

(Cat meowing)

(Gasping)

Sharon, how could you?

How could you?

(Giggling)

That was you?

(Giggling)

I was a nasty little brat,

wasn’t I?

Come on, let’s go.

Yeah, let’s go.

What’s this?

It’s from Nina.

"Sharon, I was going through

some old junk and I had two sets

of these.

Nina."

(Gasping)

She called you Sharon instead of

Braceface.

Wow.

In all the time I hung out with

Nina, this is the closest she’s

ever come to an apology.

If that’s what it’s supposed

to be, then it’s too little, too

late.

(Knocking)

Hey, uh, Adam let me in.

Griffin!

What are you doing here?

Thought I’d drop by on my way

home.

You live on the other side of

town.

Okay, I wanted to talk about

Nina.

You know, giving you those

pictures was her way of saying

sorry.

Or it’s your girlfriend’s way

of cleaning out her closet.

This is a chance for you two

to start over with a clean

slate.

After how she’s treated me?

You’ve got to be kidding.

Wouldn’t it be great if you

weren’t fighting?

I know it’d be easier on me.

Yeah, but what’s the point?

We have nothing to say to each

other.

I’ll bet you used to.

Nina kept those for a long time.

Think about that.

Okay, I’ll make one, tiny

gesture.

Here she is.

Fashion Amber.

Nina always liked her hair.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

"Nina, thanks for the photos.

If you ever want to come out

and play some time, give me a

call.

No cousins allowed.

Sharon."

Perfect.

Can you give this to her?

For sure.

You won’t regret this.

SHARON: It seemed like a

useless gesture.

I was sure Nina would just

laugh in my face.

But if there was even a chance

of ending our feud, I figured

it was worth a shot.

(Giggling)

Where did you get that?

My sister was a swamp monster

in a student film.

I’m going to wear it to the

movie marathon.

Isn’t it scary?

Not really.

You can see the zipper.

Huh?

Oh.

I really want to do something to

freak out Brock.

He was so smug about not being

scared of anything.

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

Hi!

Yeah, I thought you’d remember

Fashion Amber.

You do want to get together?

Tonight.

Oh, uhm, well, hang on.

(Whispering) Can you come over

tonight?

Sure.

Tonight’s fine.

Why don’t you come over around

7:00?

Okay, I’ll see you then.

Bye, Nina.

Whoa, that was Nina?

I never thought she’d accept.

Then why’d you invite her?

Griffin came over yesterday.

He thinks that since the truth

is out about the doll thing,

Nina and I can maybe patch

things up.

Good luck with that.

You’re still coming over,

right?

I don’t want to be alone with

her.

Only if you invite everybody.

Sure.

The more, the merrier.

Ha, look who’s here.

Hi everyone.

Hi, Nina.

Hello.

Oh, cards.

Yeah, is that okay?

Sure.

We could play cards, or we could

play this game I brought.

It’s called The Whole Truth.

You really find out a lot about

people.

Oh, it sounds like it could

be fun.

This person’s least favourite

body part is his or her...

Nose.

It’s Maria!

What’s wrong with my nose?

Too easy.

It’s obviously Connor.

Why obviously?

The constant sneezing.

She’s right.

It’s Connor.

Me next.

Okay, the weirdest thing this

person has ever eaten is a dog

biscuit.

Ew!

Is it Brock?

No way!

I stick to people food.

I know this one, too.

It’s Alyson.

I only did it because you

made me.

It was totally gross.

Are we still not over that?

Okay, me again.

This person’s secret phobia is

zombies.

Oh hey, that wouldn’t be Mr.

Nothing Scares Me, would it,

Brock?

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

Oh, did she try reading the

manual?

Urgh, fine.

Yes, Mother, I’ll be right home.

I have to go.

Petra can’t figure out my video

game system, so I have to go

show her.

I can’t even have one night off

from my dear cousin.

Urgh!

I’ll show myself out.

Thanks for having me, Sharon.

This was fun!

Yeah, I’ll see you at school.

Did you hear that?

She had fun.

Of course she did.

She was totally insulting us.

But less than usual.

This is so great.

I bet she’s going to leave me

alone from now on.

I dunno, Sharon.

I wouldn’t totally count on it.

Hey, I’m trying to be

positive.

♪ No more flack from Nina

♪ No more flack from Nina

Hey, she never told us who

was afraid of zombies!

Then I guess you’ll never

know.

♪ No more flack from Nina

♪ No more flack from Nina

You’re right!

Brock didn’t deny being scared

of zombies, so maybe he is.

Exactly!

So last night Connor and I came

up with an idea to freak him

out.

Are you in?

Oh, of course.

Great!

Here’s the plan.

Tonight, Connor and Alyson are

going to come--

Hi, ladies.

Oh, hi.

Uhm, what’s up?

Sharon, I was wondering if

you wanted to hang out tonight

with my friends.

We’re going to the movies.

Oh, sorry.

I kind of have plans.

Oh.

I guess my friends aren’t as

exciting as yours.

Uh, I didn’t say that.

I just-- Actually, sure.

I’ll come.

Good!

We’re meeting at the Spinning

Disc at 6:00.

See you then.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Let me get this straight.

You’d rather hang out with Nina

then help me terrify my

boyfriend.

No, but you saw how she got

when I said I was busy.

I-- I didn’t want to offend her.

I guess, but I don’t know

who’s going to have the scarier

evening: Brock or you.

Hi!

Have you guys been here long?

I’m sorry.

Do you exist?

I’m Sharon.

Nina invited me.

(Giggling)

Yeah, right.

I think the dentist cranked

her braces too tight.

Hi, Sharon.

Claire and Laney are such

kidders.

Of course I’m kidding.

(Giggling)

I love braces.

(Laughing)

I want braces!

Come on, girls.

Let’s grab Petra and get to the

movies.

We’re ready to go.

Got it, don’t want it.

Ugh, washed up.

That’s my dad’s band.

Really?

It’s a shame about that last

album.

Ooh.

Well it’s a shame about your

bad taste.

Ladies.

Those are recyclable, you

know.

Oops!

Total faux pas.

Good catch, Bracefa-- Uh,

Sharon.

(Owl hooting)

Oh, come on.

Just help me look.

It’s my favourite Frisbee.

Okay, but I hope it’s the

kind that glows in the dark.

(Moaning)

What do we do?

Must eat brains!

So, was he scared?

Ooh, I’m totally going to eat

your brain.

Ha ha!

What do you think?

Oh, sorry it didn’t work out.

So?

How was your evening with the

Queen of Mean?

Uh, not too horrible.

Her friends were pretty nice

eventually.

It was like they wanted to

impress me.

’Cause they’re terrified of

her.

If Nina likes you, you’re a

star.

Whatever.

I’m not going to make a habit of

hanging out with them.

NINA: Sharon!

How would you like to try out

for the cheerleading squad?

Me?

Uhm, that’s really nice of you,

but I’d rather not.

Look.

Nobody gets a mid-season

audition.

I’m making an exception for you.

She said she doesn’t want to.

Not everybody wants to bounce

around with pompoms, you know.

Bounce around?

Is that what you think we do?

Oh, uh, of course not.

I just don’t think my

flexibility is up to it, that’s

all.

Don’t be silly.

With a little coaching from me,

you’ll be fine.

Now, we have to teach you a

cheer for your try out.

Nothing too challenging, of

course.

I’ll see you later, okay?

I really can’t picture Sharon

getting into it.

It’s so not her thing.

Doesn’t matter.

If Nina wants Sharon to be a

cheerleader, Sharon will be a

cheerleader.

(Sing-song voice): If you

don’t believe us, we’ll shout a

little louder!

Elkford!

Elkford!

Go Elks!

Whoa.

(Grunting)

Great stuff, Sharon.

You’re definitely Elkette

material.

But Nina, she couldn’t do any

of the basic moves.

She has team spirit,

something that’s been lacking in

your performance lately.

Which is why I’ve decided to

bump you to make room for

Sharon.

(Crying)

Nina, I can’t take her spot.

That’s not fair.

Shelby tried to undermine my

authority.

Are you questioning my judgment?

No, I just feel bad for her.

Aw, that’s sweet, but guilt

is such a terrible waste of

energy.

Welcome to the Elkettes.

(Clapping)

Uh, thanks.

Brock emailed the

invitations, and Maria reserved

the movies.

So as long as Sharon’s doing her

stuff--

Great.

I’d better get going.

Sorry I’m late.

It was an away game.

So, let’s talk party.

We sort of already did.

But I told you I’d be here.

Well, we thought you might be

having more fun where you were.

I wouldn’t just not show up.

Of course not.

Sharon’s very responsible.

I bet she has the decorations

all made.

Right?

Uhm, well, actually... I’m a

little late on that, too.

But I’ll get them done!

I spent all last night working

on the party decorations.

I’m going to borrow my mom’s

model of the human brain, and

serve chip dip out of the

cerebral cortex.

Brain food.

Yummers.

SHARON: Why don’t you come?

It’ll be fun!

Sure, fine.

Can you not talk while I do

this?

Nina doesn’t multitask.

NINA: Pass me a cotton ball.

Those are the worst cuticles

I have ever seen.

You do need a manicure.

Let’s have a spa night on

Friday.

My team will work wonders on

you.

We can’t.

That’s the night of the movie

marathon.

Oh, sure we can.

We’ll be done in plenty of time

to get there.

I don’t know.

Some of us need the works.

Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Please come on Friday.

It won’t be any fun without you.

Well, okay.

BROCK: I’ll set up the movie

screen.

What’s this?

"I have to do something with

Nina before the party.

Please start setting up and I’ll

be back as soon as I can.

Sharon."

Great, now she’s on Nina’s

nightshift, too.

I knew this would happen.

Give Nina an inch and she’ll

take a mile.

So, what’ll we do?

I dunno, but I’m sure Sharon

will figure it out for herself

one of these days.

I’d recommend Spa Chez Vous,

a manicure, pedicure, facial,

and scalp massage.

Isn’t that a lot of stuff?

We have to be done by 7:30.

Let me see your watch.

(Smashing)

This is for your own good.

You can’t de-stress if you’re

clock watching.

(Giggling)

Okay, watch this.

Oh, Brock.

Could you grab me a juice?

Sure.

You want that with or without

the zombie head?

Oh!

What does it take to freak you

out?

I dunno.

Ahem.

It’s never been done.

People have been asking when

we’re going to put the movie on.

I wish Sharon would hurry up.

Maybe we should start without

her.

I don’t feel good about that.

This whole party was her idea.

But what if she doesn’t show

up?

She may not, guys.

I mean, she is with Nina right

now.

I’ll go warm up the

projector.

This stuff smells like it

washed up on the beach.

Don’t talk.

You’ll make your mask flake off.

(Giggling)

Oh, I’m so glad I decided to

come.

I could stay here forever.

Isn’t this way better than

watching bad movies with a bunch

of losers?

I knew you’d want to bail on

that party once you got here.

SHARON: You knew what?

(Sharon gasping)

What time is it?

Who cares?

Pass my herbal tea, would you?

(Door slamming)

Sharon?

By George!

I think you’ve been dumped.

(Groaning)

(Screaming)

I can’t believe she didn’t

show up.

Sharon loves this kind of stuff.

Well, she used to.

I don’t know who she is anymore.

I know.

Me too.

Shh!

(Shouting)

(Screaming)

Hi!

Does this count as a costume?

I’m so glad you’re here!

We were afraid you weren’t

coming.

ALYSON: I was totally

positive you chose Nina over us.

I’m really sorry I made you

guys feel like that.

(Giggling)

What’s wrong with Brock?

Don’t ever do that again!

Yes!

A little something to wish

you a bon voyage.

Oh, thanks for the posh going

away party.

Oh, it was no trouble at all.

You deserve it.

MARIA: Looks like you weren’t

invited to the going away party.

Oh, I’m crushed.

I guess walking out on Nina’s

spa night was a no no.

So, you’re back on her hit

list?

I’m not really sure where we

stand.

Don’t worry.

She’ll let you know.

I’d brace myself if I were you.

Why?

Might not be that bad.

I’d brace myself anyway, just

in case.

(Car honking)

There’s your ride to the

airport.

You’d better get going.

I wouldn’t want you to miss your

flight.

Thanks for everything.

Cheers.

Toodles!

Have a nice trip.

Loser.

Woo-hoo, she’s gone!

Let’s party.

Olé!

Who wants first crack at the

piñata?

(Cheering)

Okay, now that would be fun.

Sharon, this is for you.

Just a little token of our

friendship.

Really, for me?

I thought you were mad at me.

Why should I be mad at you?

Because I offered you

everything, and you chose these

losers?

If there’s one thing I can’t

stand, Braceface, it’s

ungratefulness.

Hey, what is it?

What’s in the box?

(Brock screaming)

(Giggling)

Aw.

Still jumpy from last night?

Funny.

Very funny.

(Laughing)

SHARON: You know, I didn’t

decapitate Nina’s dolls when we

were little, but now I kind of

wish I had.
