that needs cleaning.

Mary?

- The twins are turning 16 next week.

- Didn't they turn 16 last year?

Yes, and they'll keep turning 16

until I tell them to stop.

We're having a big party

and I need this house to be spotless.

But Tami and I are going to the ball.

Plus, I've cleaned every room in this house.

Not...

...my bedroom.

You're kidding me, right?

I'm clubbing with Paris tonight.

It's my turn to throw the after-party.

Don't step on my hair.

When I get home at midnight,

this room will be pristine.

Dominique, I'd need heavy equipment.

For example, a flamethrower.

Don't you sass me, smarty pants.

I'll revoke your school privileges.

You could say goodbye

to those trendy friends.

Or shall I say friend,

Little Miss Not-So-Popular?

Ooh!

Oh, and clean up these fish sticks.

They've been there since Lent.

Tami, I can't go to the ball.

"Domifreak's" making me clean

her bedroom.

You're in her lair?

There are species of bugs in here

still unknown to science.

There's no way I'll finish in time.

- Wait, what if...?

Who are you talking to?

When I said no phone privileges,

that included the landline.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Ugh.

Manson, we've been looking for you

since Christmas, boy.

You're free, boy. Go. Go, go.

Go, Manson, go. You're free. Oh, hey.

Gosh, look, I just found Manson.

And please tell me those aren't our dresses.

I can't. Because they are.

We're going to the ball.

Tami, what part of "Domifreak's making me

clean her bedroom" did you not understand?

What would you say if I told you

I could clean up the mess for you...

...and Dominique would never know?

I'd say you're my hero, but there's no way,

and you have to go to the ball.

- Plus, you can't clean this mess up alone.

- Well, who said I was alone?

- Hi, Mary.

- Hey.

You did this for me?

Mary, meet my sister's

boyfriend's cousins.

Cousins, this is Mary.

Hello, hello. You go to dance?

Very nice.

House clean by midnight?

No problem.

Like van say, "No mess too messy."

Okay.

This mess is too messy.

- Lee-Ha, you promised.

- Is there a problem?

I'm on it. Get started and hide the van.

Isn't that him?

No, that's not him.

Oh, that's him. No, it's not.

Joey can dance.

When we see a guy who can move,

we'll have our man.

Let me know when you find him.

Hey, we were just looking for you.

Yeah, I'm sure you were.

- Nice mask.

- Nice dress.

Nice face.

Hey, ladies, hey.

Boo, where you going?

All the funk you need is right here.

Man.

Hey, man.

Why did you tell me this

was a costume party?

It is the Black and White Ball.

You look good, man. This is sharp.

I do clean up good, huh?

I guess I'm not the only one

who didn't get the memo.

- Who is that?

- No idea.

But I'm gonna find out.

Everyone's looking at me.

Who's the Lohan

who decided to make her own rules?

You need a drink.

Punch bowl, straight ahead.

I don't know, but she looks good.

I mean, not good like us. Good like bad.

Pff.

Here they come.

- All right, be cool. Be cool.

Hi.

You really know how to make an entrance.

That, uh, dress is amazing.

Thank you. That's a nice cape.

I mean, coat. It's a nice coat...

- What should I do?

- Say something. Anything.

- He's cute.

- Um...

Hey, do you want some punch?

Or you have some... Cool, okay.

Weird.

- Are you supposed to be Cupid?

- Yeah. Smart girl.

Dope, right?

With these arrows of love,

somebody gonna fall hard tonight.

- Is that so?

- Yeah.

Usually, I'm a lot cooler than this.

I'm actually, like,

Joey Parker's best friend, see?

- Is that supposed to impress me?

- Yeah, a little.

You wanna see my Cupid dance?

- What was that?

- I don't usually come to these things.

Yeah, me too.

What? Wait. Do you, um, wanna...?

Wait. You don't like to dance?

Sorry, what?

- Do you wanna...?

- Hey.

Can I ask you to dance?

Yes, I'd love to.

Now, don't take this the wrong way...

...but I have never seen anything like you

in my life.

- That's a good thing, right?

- Yes.

Dance with me, Cupid-man.

Do me a favor. Can you play this for me?

Track five.

Here, hold this for me.

Hey.

Shake it, baby.

Nice.

- What was that?

- I guess the music just speaks to me.

Well, I guess

we don't have a language barrier.

Isn't that funny? I just love monkeys too.

Anyway, she'd...

Look at him move.

That has to be Joey.

But who's the tramp?

Oh...

Oh, hey, are you okay?

You were amazing.

No, I wasn't. I fell.

Joey?

I have to go.

I have to go. Can I have it back?

- Today?

- Is that Joey?

Wait, wait...

- I'm late.

- Where are you...?

Wait.

Oh, my God. That was...

- Holy cow...

- I feel like I have to throw up.

Tami, if I don't get home by midnight,

I am dead.

You were dancing with Joey Parker.

I fell on my butt with Joey Parker.

God, I knew I shouldn't have come.

- He was into you.

- Because he didn't know who I was.

You really think he was into me?

- I'm so sorry.

- No, no, no, this can't be happening.

I am not doing

that old diva's talk show again.

She's got a serious... What?

Oh, God.

She's got a serious case

of the grab-hands.

No, no, no, she's right behind me.

Go, go, go.

No, no, no!

That's my answer

to all those talk shows. No!

Go that way, that way, that way. Go.

Hmm. Well, it seems you managed

to follow orders.

For once.

Why are you wearing my robe?

I was admiring its silky quality.

You like my after-party?

It's a total rager, isn't it? Ha-ha.

Oh, it's not a rager at all.

No one's coming.

I'm a Little Miss Not-So-Popular too.

God, I'm so tired.

Thank you.

All right, now, look. If you pull this off,

you will be the prince of all princes, okay?

- Now, just let me talk to the teacher.

- Why aren't you two in class?

I have a huge favor to ask, Miss B.

I need to find somebody

who was at the dance last night.

And if you don't, you'll die?

I think I might.

No way.

Yeah.

Whoever she was, she was a freak show.

Totally.

Who runs away from Joey Parker?

Not me.

She'll never show her face now.

We missed you at the ball, Mary.

I guess a maid's job is just never done.

This is an administrative announcement

from the administrative office.

What's up?

You're on the mike

with the Funk master.

- Okay, very funny. Keep the voices down.

- Check it out. Listen up.

Once upon a time

There was this chill hottie

She left Joey Parker

Now, that was real naughty

Now here's JPjust to tell you more

Now, put down your pencils

And give JP the floor

All right, Funk, Funk, that's good.

'Cause I was on the mike...

- All right, I got another verse.

- Funk, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- That was the Funk, ladies and gentlemen.

Anyway...

...last night, I, uh...

I danced with somebody at the ball.

And you dropped your Zune

when you left.

I'd love to return it.

The problem is, I don't know who you are.

And this is important...

...because you made

it one of the best nights of my life.

I...

...love him.

You have bacon in your braces.
