The plot is that Ashley likes this boy named Pokey Valentine (yes that is his real name! And BTW: he’s sister’s named Prancer!). So when they get assigned partner’s in history class, Ashley desperately wants her partner to be Pokey. Unfortunately Mary-Kate gets Pokey, and Ashley gets a boy she doesn’t really care for. Ashley pays Mary-Kate to trade partners. But later Pokey asks Mary-Kate if she can come over to his house and play basketball and "stuff". Mary-Kate figures the "stuff" meant he was asking her out on a date, and she doesn’t know how she’ll tell Ashley. But when she asks him what he meant, he sheepishly explains that he knew she was good at basketball and he wanted her to coach him on several things he wasn’t too good at! Also, Carrie likes a boy in her class at the college Kevin teaches at and they get into some fights because Kevin doesn’t like him.
