Wish Upon A Star Page #4

and into the science fair.

Deal.

You deserve a lot of credit

for my brilliant accomplishments.

You're the finest teacher I ever had.

Please give me my spot back.

Let me start over.

I've worked a year conceiving and

putting this project into practice...

Mr. Frauenfleder.

And I had high hopes for you...

but you've brought back

the memory of your sister.

That was an accident. Besides,

Alex wasn't that bad, was she?

What do you expect

from a girl like that?

That's a little harsh.

- Who did you come here to defend?

- Hay... Me.

Winning the science fair

and going to nationals would be...

the highlight of a lifetime.

I know I've made some mistakes,

but...

please don't

take that away from me.

Truce?

I've got a couple more conditions.

Stop chewing that gum.

You're giving me cavities.

Wait. Hold on. One more thing.

I can't bear

to look at this any longer.

You're coming to the mall with me

to pick up my dress.

I don't wanna let you

out of my sight.

- Can Kyle come?

- Fine.

Look, you can put your arms around him,

or you can hold his hand.

But no kissing, okay?

It's just not right.

- Truce?

- Truce.

- See you.

- Bye.

Bye.

Let's go home and make that wish.

Yeah.

So what did my friends say

when they saw you...

in the same outfit

two days in a row?

"Violation of rule four."

So I guess you heard

about the rules.

Yeah, that one,

the three-month max...

and no tuna at lunch?

What other bizarre restrictions

do they put on your life?

Well, let's see.

You have to shave

your legs every day.

You have to read Self

cover to cover.

And you have to weigh in

every Friday.

Do you know that Talley has a scale

in her locker?

- You kidding?

- No.

I kind of suggested

you abolish the three-month max.

Yeah, that rule

needs to be amended.

I really want to be with him.

I noticed.

At least I got to see how it feels

for someone to really like you.

A lot of guys really like you.

I mean, you as you.

You can get a boyfriend.

I mean...

you're cute.

It's just a matter

of having confidence.

You know, Talley told me

there are 910 boys in the student body.

- Simon?

- Yes, Simon.

I think you should go for it.

I'd be all tongue-tied.

So forget about talking.

Go in for the kill.

You're an experienced kisser now.

What if...

What if we spent one more day

as each other?

Why would you want to do that?

Well, you could help convince

a few of my teachers...

that I'm not really an airhead.

And I'll show you how easy it is

for Hayley Wheaton to get a guy.

They will be lining up.

So, you would sacrifice your life

for one more day?

Yeah, it'll be fun.

Ben, you were right.

Alex was mauling a boy...

Alex was mauling a boy...

while the little one danced seductively

on the cafeteria table...

miming sexual lyrics.

And she was

dressed like a hooker.

It was quite the getup,

wasn't it?

You saw it and you let her

out of the house?

Well, honey, you better explain

to Ms. Mittermiller...

what we're trying to accomplish.

We're trying to change

our parental strategy...

to a more hands-off method.

You see, we... we believe that

a child will fare better...

in a home that shuns

traditional discipline...

and learns from

his own experiences.

It seems to be...

It's been shaky

the first few days, but...

we're looking for

long-term results.

It's pretty innovative,

don't you think?

Eventually,

we plan to write a book.

Now, we do realize there are rules

and regulations...

here at the school,

but that's separate.

So just feel free to discipline

them however you feel is appropriate.

Just so long as the discipline doesn't

come from the parents...

we should be just fine.

It sounds extreme, but...

it seems to be working.

Well...

Thank you for taking time out

from your work to see me.

- It's been enlightening.

- You're welcome.

Those poor girls.

No wonder.

Up a little bit.

A little to the right.

A little bit more.

Test tomorrow.

Let's review.

Any volunteers?

Yoo-hoo.

Alexia, you think you can

learn to use the ladies' room...

before you come to class?

No. I wanna try it.

Please?

Try the problem?

You heard her.

Okay, let's see.

A cleaning solution is made up

of three chemicals...

"A," " B" and "C."

So far, so good.

There are equal amounts

of"A" and " B"...

and four times as much "C"

as there is "A."

What percentage of the bottle

is full of"C"?

You think you can walk us

through this, Alexia?

Okay. " B" equals "A"

and "C" equals 4A.

Therefore, "A" plus "A"

plus 4A equals 6A.

For your percentage,

it's 4A over 6A. The A's cross off.

Four-sixths is

converted to two-thirds.

Therefore,

your percentage is 66.6%.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah. Anyone...

Anyone agree?

I definitely agree.

Pick it up. Come on, guys.

Speed. Let's go!

Okay, let's bring everybody in!

And team!

Kyle, hold up a second.

I'm gonna start you.

Thanks a lot, Coach.

I was just studying

for a math test.

- It's tomorrow.

- Guess what I'm doing tomorrow.

- I give up.

- I'm starting!

Coach said my game is stronger.

It's gonna be amazing!

I'm gonna lead my team to victory.

You're gonna be crowned queen.

We'll dance all night.

How does that sound?

Like someone else.

I mean, there's no guarantee that

it's all gonna work out, but...

it's cool to think about.

Well, listen...

I was gonna wait until the dance to tell

you, but I want you to know something.

I'm... I'm sure it can wait.

- I love you, Aly.

- What?

I said I love you.

You shouldn't have

said that to me.

There's no pressure or anything.

You don't have to say anything back.

But I... It was just something

that happened this week.

I gotta go home.

I gotta study.

Wait a minute.

That's it?

Listen, the next time that you say it,

you know, the " L" word...

if you decide

you still feel that way...

pretend like

it's the first time, okay?

That was the first time.

That wasn't so great.

I was just wondering if maybe I could...

if I could have a ride.

Sure. Get in.

Here.

Oh, so sweet!

- To thank you for driving me.

- Oh, Simon, that's so thoughtful.

Really, it's a pleasure

driving you home.

- I couldn't stop myself, Alexia.

- Look, Simon, I think you're great.

- I think you're great too.

- You're just attracted to my looks.

It's not your looks.

I mean...

Well, no offense.

It's just that, physically,

you're not really my type.

At first, I thought

I had a crush on Hayley...

but now that

I'm getting to know you...

I realize our personalities

are much more compatible.

Hayley's too wild for me.

Wait. Back up.

You're talking about Hayley?

You think Hayley's attractive?

Well, it's what's inside

that really matters.

Look, Simon, I think you need to

get to know Hayley better.

We're sisters, you know.

We're a lot more alike than you think.

I checked the forecast.

Clear skies.

Perfect for stargazing.

Great.

Could you come over here a second?

I need your help.

I still don't understand

this paint-mixing problem.
