Wish Upon A Star Page #5

Really? Why?

I keep thinking about

those skanky painters next door.

Okay, well,

pretend it's not paint.

Say, instead, it's perfume.

- Chanel?

- Okay.

So a perfume bottle is filled

with three different fragrances...

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

So...

So "X" equals...

Three hundred?

- I got it right?

- You got it right!

I'm so excited! I got it!

We should do this more often.

Honey.

What should we do?

Should we take 'em to bed ourselves?

It's not as if we're telling them to go

to bed. We're just putting them there.

It's perfectly harmless, right?

Okay. Good idea.

There we are, baby.

Good night, sweetheart.

Come on.

Where's the star?

I wish I were Hayley Wheaton.

Morning.

Man, we picked a really bad night

to fall asleep early.

I'm making a protein shake

'cause we're gonna need...

a lot of extra energy

to pull this one off.

I laid out an outfit

for you on my bed.

Please don't forget to bring down the

gown. You'll be presented at halftime.

My moment of glory

and you will get to experience it.

By the way, there is a lovely picture

of you and the court in the paper.

I've been working

on your presentation...

and still, I don't understand

that whole distillation process thing.

Don't you have

anything to say?

Man, oh, man.

This is your life.

Okay, Hayley.

Let's get to school.

Morning, Mom. Don't forget to drop

my dress off at school, okay?

Girls, we know this is

a big day for you both.

We just want you to know

that whatever happens happens.

We know that.

Ready to write that book?

The college guidelines say that

they like to hear original responses.

So, Alexia...

we've noticed that your

grade point average is a 2.07.

Why do you want to go to Felder and

what makes you think we would admit you?

I'm not who you think I am?

Attention, all students.

Remember, today is the day

to get your votes in for queen.

The ballot box

will be closed by 5:00 p.m.

The winners will be announced

tonight at the dance.

During the distillation

the alcohol vapors...

run through the coils

and condense...

Within the container...

and come out the other end

of the coils...

and into the bowl.

I get it!

I actually get it.

Okay, so here are the note cards

just in case you get stuck.

Oh, please!

I'm gonna totally kick butt.

Aren't you Miss Know-it-all.

What's your problem?

Nothing.

It was my project.

I wanted to present it.

I'm just doing my best.

Okay, if you win, you get to present it

at the nationals in DC.

I'm not counting on it.

Hey, it's the place to be

before the dance.

- This is Caitlin's house.

- Way to go, Caitlin!

No. Her parents would never,

never ever let her have an open party.

I never said an open party.

My parents will slaughter me.

I never said an open party.

My parents will slaughter me.

Small price to pay when you consider

what it'll do for your social life.

Hayley, didn't you say you need

to talk to Caitlin for a minute?

Yeah. Caitlin, can I

talk to you for a minute?

Let me get this straight.

She invited you for dinner...

and you proceeded to include

the rest of the student body?

Pretty crafty, huh?

What makes you think

you can treat people like this?

We learned it from you.

Remember our motto, "Act superior,"

our number one rule?

Don't you guys ever get tired

of acting like snobs?

We're seniors.

We're supposed to live it up.

We have parties.

We use little weaklings like Caitlin.

If you think it's acceptable

to treat...

a kind and generous person

like Caitlin like that...

then we have no business

being friends.

And who else are you gonna hang

out with for the rest of the year?

Who cares?

It's cancelled.

We'll party at The Point instead.

Good. Now apologize to Caitlin.

She's a sophomore!

What do you expect from us?

Nothing.

A decent gesture would be far

too dignified for the three of you.

You know, you looked hideous

in the newspaper.

See if we vote for you

for queen.

Guys, we already did.

- What?

- We need to talk.

- Whatever it is, I'm sure it can wait.

- Wait.

I saw you groveling with some

other guy at your car yesterday.

- Were you spying on me?

- What difference does it make?

Look, I just wanna end this

once and for all.

You were right the first time.

Three months is more than enough.

You know what else?

I didn't mean

what I said yesterday.

Love is a reciprocal thing.

It's not just one-sided.

No, go back in!

Go back in!

Oh, gosh!

Note cards.

Any time, Hayley.

Do you have a role model, Alexia?

My younger sister.

She believes in me.

I don't know

what goes on at your homes...

but I have a sister

who is incredibly wasteful.

If she bites into an apple that's

a little mealy, she throws it away.

By combining things

like rejected apples along...

with sugar and yeast

and converting...

the substance into alcohol

with a homemade pressure cooker...

it produces a grade

of ethyl alcohol...

that meets many of

my household energy needs.

That is, if I could convince my parents

into reading by lantern light.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

if I could have your attention, please.

Hunter High School

is proud to present...

the finalists for

this year's Winter Festival.

And here they are,

the beautiful, the talented...

Jennifer Hatfield,

Laura Simms...

Nikki Snow,

Danielle Swanson...

and Alexia Wheaton.

Come on.

We've got things to do.

What are you doing in here?

I've been looking all over for you.

Wow. Look at you.

It's a thank-you present.

I knew you loved the dress.

But check these out.

Red shoes to match.

Caitlin talked me into them.

Megabucks.

So, what do you think?

Do you like it?

Of course I do.

It's a reflection

of my fashion sense.

Could you live

your life like that?

Sure, but that's irrelevant.

We're gonna switch back.

It's irreversible.

We can't switch back.

Of course we can.

No, we can't.

Why?

Last night when you were asleep,

I made the wish.

Look at me.

I'm still you...

and you're still me.

Hayley, come here.

Come sit down.

I saw the...

the same shooting star

when I was with Kyle.

I made a wish too.

A wish?

I made a wish that I was you.

Why would you wish that?

There I was...

this C-minus student...

about to break up

with my boyfriend over...

over some self-imposed rule.

I felt totally bored with myself...

and my friends and everything.

I realized that I didn't have much

of a shot at getting into college...

and...

I look up on the balcony

and I see...

I see my brainy,

adventurous little sister...

with all these interests,

like conserving energy...

and listening

to that awful music.

And I knew you would never

make the same mistakes I made.

And I just, I wondered what it would

be like to be Hayley Wheaton...

and then I saw the star.

Why were you so mad

when we switched places?

First of all, I wasn't about to admit

that I wanted to be you.

And I mean, I panicked. I never actually

thought that it would happen.

I guess we made the same wish
