- Casey, we need to focus on our prom problem, okay?

There is a window when everyone asks

who they're asking and that window is almost shut.

- Our prom problem? You have a boyfriend!

- I broke up with him last night.

Something was just... missing. - Chemistry?

- My MP3 player. The chemistry thing was a problem too.

- Well, I was gonna go with Truman ‘til I caught him kissing my cousin!

- Which is why you're never going to talk to him ever again. - Casey, let me explain.

I've called you a hundred times, sent you a hundred e-mails...

- Then take a hundred hints, okay? It's over!

She doesn't want to talk to you ever again!

Casey, if you agree, please nod.

- Okay. If that's what you want.

- Thanks, Em. - No problem, Case.

Now, focusing on the real problem: prom!

- You know, it's too bad we don't have a list

of who's still available.

Like that. Huh? Why is there a star beside Derek's name?

- Because he's not really available.

First he's asking out Kristina,

backup is Swin and if all else fails? Sandy.

- And where did you gather all of this top-secret intelligence?

- It's not intelligence. Ralph told me.

- I can't believe I forgot my combination again.

- Ralph, it's your birthday. - But my grandma didn't call.

Oh, the... the locker combination.

- Now, about our prom date problem...

- Hey, guys, we do not have a prom date problem. We're just weighing our options.

- Lucky me. I have a girlfriend. Except I forgot to ask her.

Amanda!

Amanda?

- So there you are thinking life's going along smoothly

when, suddenly, there's an unexpected twist of fate.

Surprise!

- George? - No, Marti. You know, the short one?

- Oh, I'm sorry Marti. I've just got a lot on my mind.

- You can tell me. - It's nothing. Really.

- Hi, honey. - George! We have to talk.

- About nothing?

- Nora, what is it? - Ah, George...

How would you feel about a... new addition to the household?

- Forget about it, Nora. No way.

- No way? Why?

- Well, because this house is crowded enough already

and those things are whiny, they're stinky

and they just need lots of attention and--

- Yeah, but ‘those things' are cute and cuddly and loveable.

- Not when they're barking at four in the morning!

- Barking? Ah, George, we're not getting a dog.

- Good. I'm glad we agree.

- Ah, it's not that kind of an addition to our household.

- Then what? New appliance?

- George, I'm pregnant!

- Pregnant?

What? - Yeah!

- Ho... wow! How did this happen?

- I could give you the book I gave Lizzie.

- No, no, no! I... just meant that, you know,

we never really talked about this.

I thought my diaper days were over and I just... I can't...

What? I can't believe it!

We're gonna have a baby? This is greatest news!

- I know! - We gotta tell the kids!

- No! Sh, sh! Let's just enjoy this secret ourselves for a couple of days.

- Okay, okay. I can't believe it.

- I know!

♪♪

- Yo, G, pass the butter.

- Maybe we need a bigger table.

- Something on your mind, Dad?

- Oh! No, no. I'm, ah, I'm hunky-dory. I am Jim Dandy.

I am... Howdy Doody.

- Doody. It's always funny.

- Turning to sports, let's hear about Lizzie's track meet.

- Your semi-final! Oh, Lizzie, I'm so sorry!

I had a doctor's appointment. How did it go?

- It was... you know.

- I don't know! No one ever tells me anything around here!

- Rough race, huh, Liz?

- Oh, Casey! Don't be so insensitive!

Clearly Lizzie had a bone-crushing defeat.

Don't make her relive the shame.

- Yeah, I'm insensitive.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and ask someone to the prom.

- Who? - It's a secret.

But I can tell you that Derek's gonna ask either Sandy

or Swin because his first choice, Kristina,

got asked out after school today. - Really?

- Mm hm. - Ah, good for her!

I have to go do homework now.

- Look, Noel, since we've established that there's nothing

romantic between us, maybe you'd like to go to the prom with me?

- Swin, great news. Guess who you're going to the prom with?

Noel? Well, terrific. Hey, would you have Sandy's number?

- Sam! Have a seat. - Oh, okay.

- So, you and I have really been through a lot together, huh?

Friends, boyfriend and girlfriend,

friends again and now... good friends.

- Yeah, I guess we are.

- So good that if you wanted to ask me to prom, I'd accept!

- That would be good.

Um, except my good friend Kendra just asked me.

- You're good friends with Kendra? - Apparently. Sorry.

- Kendra.

- I'm going to the prom with Sam.

- Sam asked you to the prom? How dare he?

- Actually, I asked him. - Oh! You asked him to the prom?

So first my stepsister goes for him and then my ex-girlfriend!

- Who said I liked Sam?

Okay, maybe I like him a little. But Derek, If you really wanted

to take me to the prom, I wouldn't have been

your fourth choice after Kristina, Sandy and Swin.

- Actually, you weren't my fourth choice,

you were my fifth ‘cause Sandy said no twice.

- You'd better check Emily's list to see who's available.

- Emily!

- All this prom date pressure's getting to me.

Why are you so happy?

You found a date, didn't you? - I sure did. You!

- Come again? - I tried an old friend

and a new friend, so why not my best friend?

- Well, there's the obvious reason!

- Well, we go out dancing all the time and we always have fun.

Besides, why go with some random guy when we can go with someone special?

- You know what? You're right, we should go to the prom together.

- Really? - But no slow dances.

- Deal.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- That Mallory Miller thinks you look at her funny?

- That you won the 800 meters and you made it to the city finals!

And I don't look at Mallory funny. I gaze into her eyes.

- Well, you're giving her the willies and, please,

don't spill the beans about my race.

- But if I don't tell Dad and Nora, then I'm not going to miss school to see you run!

- There's nothing to see ‘cause I'm not going. It's too much pressure.

- Pressure! You eat pressure

for lunch; you're the captain of your soccer team.

- But soccer's a team sport. This is just me. And if Mom

or Casey find out they'll make me go, so not one word! - I don't know, Liz.

It's a big secret to keep. - What secret?

- [Both]: Nothing.

- It's always nothing. Just ‘cause I'm littler!

♪♪

- Hey, Derek. I let myself in. - Emily! Hey, I was just gonna head over to your house.

Kendra said you have this list of prom singles?

- Oh! Yeah, right here.

What happened to Kristina, Sandy and Swin?

- Ah, window closed. How come your boyfriend's on this list?

- Hm. I broke up with him. - You did? That's great!

- Why? - We can go to prom together!

- Sorry! I would love to go with you, but Casey already asked me.

- Joking, right?

You're not joking. - Uh uh.

- Then cancel.

- Derek, I can't. Casey's my best friend.

- Which is why she'll understand.

Especially if you stick to the facts:

You've known me longer and I'm a guy.

- Well, it would be kind of fun to go with you.

- Yes, it would! Now, go ask!

- Derek, I don't really think-- - Don't think, just do it!

- Oh, great! You're here!

- Yeah, listen! Um, I was thinking about the prom--

- Oh, me too! What if George pretended to be our chauffeur?

Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Why aren't you hooting? - Look, Case, um...

there's something I have to ask. - Wait, wait! Before you do,

I got you something to wear prom night. I hope you like it.

- A bracelet? I love it.

Oh! I'm so glad! Now, you wanted to ask me something?

- Yeah. Are we gonna have the best time at the prom, or what?

- Totally!

- So? I didn't hear one ‘Der-rek!'

- That's because I didn't tell her.

- Didn't tell her what? - Ah, nothing, Smarti. [Whistling]

- You too, Smerek?

- I'm sorry Derek. I can't leave Casey in the lurch.

- I don't care where you leave her, just tell her you have a real date.

- Or... maybe we can all go together?

- Do you think Casey would do that?

Do you think I would do that?

- Well, maybe you can go alone; you can handle it. You're Derek!

- I know who I am,

but maybe I wanted to go with you because...

Because.

- I'm sick of people never telling me anything.

Whoa! What are you doing?

- Ah, oh, nothing! Really.

You! This is all your fault!

See, if you hadn't gone and kissed Casey's cousin,

then I'd have a date for prom. - I'm... sorry?

- You're apologizing to the wrong person.

- I've tried to apologize to Casey. She isn't talking to me.

- Well, maybe if you didn't ignore her

the whole party and then go kiss her cousin...

- Hey, Vicki kissed me. - Dude, come on.

- Okay, so I kinda got cold feet about being ‘the boyfriend'.

What can I say? I'm an idiot.

- So, um... take her to the prom.

- Very funny, Derek. Just tell her I'm sorry, will ya?

- What was that about?

- I was just telling Truman he should take Casey to the prom.

- After what he did? - Don't worry,

he didn't take me seriously... yet.

Ralph, we need to convince Truman

to take Casey to the prom.

And that's gonna take some serious convincing.

- So let's have a serious talk with the guy.

- What are you doing?

- Ouch! Oh my groin! Amanda and I are taking yoga.

- What's up? - My groin.

- No! Enough about your groin!

We have to convince Truman to take Casey to the prom.

- After how he treated her? - He repented!

And now Casey has no one else to go with, except Emily,

who wants to go with an actual guy!

- Oh, like you? - Eh!

- Alright, guys. Let's get serious then.

- Ah, he's... gone.

- Sorry, dude.

Um, my other groin.

[Knock-knock!]

- So, Lizard. Just got off the phone with Anya's mother.

- Yeah?

- And, uh, she wanted to know whether I wanted to carpool

with her to the track and field finals. And I said,

“Yeah, of course, the finals!”

But I didn't know anything about the finals!

Why didn't you tell me? I am so proud of you!

- Don't be. Because I'm not going and you can't make me.

- Not going? Why not?

It's such an honor and it's so exciting.

- That's why I'm not going! Because you're so excited,

all my friends are excited,

my gym teacher's over the moon. It's too much pressure!

- It's okay, honey. No one's going to make you go. - Casey will!

So promise not to tell her. You know how bad you are at keeping secrets.

- Actually, I'm getting better. [Door bell]

- Hey, Edwin. Is your big bro... I mean, is your big sis around?

- Weird that you'd get them confused.

- Emily's here! - Come on up, Em! Let's pick corsages!

- So my Truman idea isn't gonna fly.

Guess we're not going to the prom together.

- Guess not. - It's too bad, too.

And not just for us.

I really think Truman should take Casey to the prom.

He might actually be a good guy.

- He might? - Sometimes it takes guys awhile

to get their act together.

Look how long it took me to figure out I liked you.

- Good point. And might I add...

- Marti, where did Emily go?

Why would she be in the--

- That concludes your CPR training for today.

- Emily, what is going on?

- Casey it was just a kiss, okay? It didn't mean anything.

Well, the first kiss was just a thing that happened.

And that second kiss? Well, I have to say, it was more real. - You've kissed before?

- It kinda just happened after he asked me to the prom.

- I'm fighting over a prom date with Derek?

- Don't worry! I'm going with you because you asked me first.

- Em, you've had a crush on Derek since you were eight

and now he's asking you to go to the prom?

I know you're dying to go with him.

- So what? I'm still not gonna ditch you.

- Em, I'm fine being ditched.

Just go and have enough fun for the both of us, okay?

- Okay.

- Goodbye, Mom! Hope you guys have a nice evening!

Babysitting on the night of my prom. How pathetic!

[Sighing]

- Wallowing alone or you need some company?

- No, stay. Let's have a little sister talk.

- Sure. About what?

- I dunno, boys, makeup, track meets?

- Mom told? - Oh, please! Mom can't keep a secret to save her life.

- What secret? - [Both]: Nothing.

- That does it, that really does it!

No one ever tells me anything, ever!

- Marti, come back. - Yeah, you can come in Marti.

- Really? - Sure.

- So, what are we sisters talking about?

- Well, it seems Lizzie made the city track and field finals, but she doesn't want to go.

- Now Casey's going to try to convince me to go.

- Lizzie's going to tell me that I'm an overachiever and

that she's different than I am. - Now Casey's going to say,

“Well, Lizzie, I just think that if you don't go,

you'll always regret it.” - Well, won't you?

- Yeah, won't you? - Just like you'll always regret

not going to your prom? - Yeah! Good point, sis!

- I can't go by myself. - But Derek and Emily are waiting downstairs for you.

- What? - Hey, did I miss sister talk?

- What are you two still doing here? Em, you're supposed

to be having fun for both of us! - Casey, I'm sorry,

but I'm not going to the prom if you're not going.

- Can you believe she cares more about her friend than her boyfriend?

- Derek, Casey's been my friend for 3 years. You've been

my boyfriend for-- did you say boyfriend?

- Uh... no! Yes, hum... What do you think of that?

- Well, I mean it's a lot to absorb but-- - Not you.

- I'm okay with it. - Great. Then, let's go.

- But... not without Casey.

- Emily, I can't. I'm babysitting.

- It's okay. Edwin can baby-sit. I helped him pass that course.

So you've got 2 dates to the prom and one of them is Casey?

- I-- - Emily has...

2 dates to the prom and one of them is Derek. I'll go get changed.

Liz, you're the best! [Door bell]

- Derek, are you expecting someone?

What are you doing here?

- Ah, I'm here to ask Casey to the prom.

- Oh. - But you're a... a cad!

- That's a fancy word for a 12-year-old.

- Casey taught me that.

- Truman, I'm trying to forget that I ever met you

and this isn't helping.

- Give him a chance. - Did you set this up

so you could have Emily all to yourself?

- Yeah! But I thought I failed.

- I can't believe you would do that!

- It's not as bad as it sounds. - I can explain...

if you'll let me.

- No! - Liz, it's alright.

- [Liz]: You've got one minute, Truman!

- I heard you don't have a prom date

and you shouldn't miss your prom ‘cause of me.

- [Derek]: And we shouldn't miss ours!

- Okay, for their sake

I'll go to the prom with a jerk like you.

- Worst ‘yes' ever. C'mon.
