* BedTrick: A PG version, at Jenna's party. Lucy blindfolds Jenna and puts her in the closet, promising that her crush Chris Grandy wants to kiss her and "go for second base". As soon as she closes the door, she and the party of Six Chicks decide to ditch Jenna and see if Lucy's brother could get beer while Lucy tricks Matt into taking Chris' place by snobbishly telling him that Jenna's waiting for him in the closet. It almost works, and it's devastating, as it contributed to Matt and Jenna's friendship downfall.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After the TimeSkip, the adult Jenna spends most of the movie trying to reconnect with the adult Matt, while also trying to make amends for her backstabbing ways. At the end, the magazine she was working for went under [[spoiler: because Tom-Tom stole her original adult self's idea to steal the magazine's pieces, and uses it as a bargaining chip for a better paid position at rival company Sparkle.]] When she goes to his wedding she confesses her love for Matt, [[spoiler: only for him to tell her you can't rewind time and he's in love with Wendy, and is going to marry her in few minutes]]. Jenna breaks down crying, and magically goes back to 1987 thanks to residual magic dust on the dollhouse Mattie made for her. When Mattie opens the closet door she kisses him, tells off Tom-Tom, and [[spoiler: flash forward in 2004, she and Matt are happily married and have just bought a house similar to the dollhouse he made her.]]
