Romeo and Juliet
The drama club is putting on a production of "Romeo and Juliet". Every girl in the school wants to be Juliet because Craig Bean (an eighth grader!) is playing Romeo. Cissy ends up as Juliet, and PA is cast as the nurse. But when Cissy loses a contact lens, thus preventing her from reading the teleprompter, PA gets a chance to play Juliet. Only she can't get out of her nurse's costume.

Food Barn
In economics class, Pepper Ann and her friends get assigned partners and have to work at a job for a week. Pepper Ann has to work at Food Barn with Milo. Milo keeps getting praise and promotion for doing very little. But PA's attempts at being a good employee just get her into trouble! Meanwhile, Deiter is not showing up at his job because he's been at the Food Barn eating all the strudels.
