Preteen comedy of one last fun night before the best friend of the heroine (
Alexa Vega) moves, which is ruined by the
Alpha Bitch and her
Girl Posse come to propose a little game with them. They go on a scavenger hunt to win the ultimate lunch spot.

- Fridge Logic: Steve knows to give Julie the crown because he found the scavenger hunt list. Except the crown wasn't on the list; the girls made that rule up since they initially tied. So how did Steve know to do that?
- The nerdy guy (I can't remember his name) had written down "get crown" on his scavenger hunt list. The list Steve found is the one the nerdy dude had so he would have seen the "get crown" part

Julie: You're out here collecting tickets instead of being inside at the dance. You spend your weekends doing extra credit algebra, you play way too much Monopoly with your parents, and you've never eaten anywhere near the fountain. And in 4 years I will be YOU unless I get into that dance.
