| All the girls in Arthur's class are doing good deeds for [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] because they are trying to get invited to one of her girls-only slumber parties at her family's [[Crosswire Mansion|mansion]]. Buster is not interested, because it is only for girls. He thinks there would be nothing that he would like, since he is a boy, but then Arthur mentions an arcade ice machine, which Buster likes the sound of, so he says that he wants to come. Francine reminds him that it is for girls only. Buster begs Francine to invite him. Then, Jenna receives an invitation because [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], who is Muffy's best friend, managed to convince her to invite her, but Jenna is worried it would end in disaster. | | All the girls in class are doing nice things for [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] because they are trying to get invited to one of her girls-only slumber parties at her family's [[Crosswire Mansion|mansion]].

| | One day, while playing badminton with Francine, she tells Francine that she thought that Muffy didn't like her that much, but Francine told her that Muffy needs to get to know her more. Jenna said that she had other plans, but then Francine told her the party is at night, and then Jenna said, "Well, maybe I didn't want to go to her stupid party in the first place!", and stormed away. |

| One day, while playing badminton with Francine, Jenna tells Francine that she thought that Muffy didn't like her that much, but Francine tells Jenna that Muffy just needs to get to know her more. Jenna says that she has other plans for the day of the party, but then Francine tells her the party is at night. Jenna suddenly appears angry and says, "Well, maybe I didn't want to go to her stupid party in the first place!", then storms off.
| | When Jenna goes back to her locker, she heard the other kids spreading rumors about her, but [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] knows why she won't go to the party: it takes place at night, and also thinks she is an [[Radioactive Squid Woman|alien crime-fighter]] in disguise. Later, Jenna appears and tells everyone that the rumors they've been spreading about her are false, after Buster sees the ink on her hands, Jenna simply said that her pen broke, and when Francine asks if she was going to the party, she said, "Yeah... sure." |

| When Jenna goes back to her locker, she hears the other kids spreading rumors about her, and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] claims he knows why she won't go to the party: it takes place at night and she is an [[Radioactive Squid Woman|alien crime-fighter]] in disguise. Later, Jenna appears and tells everyone that the rumors they have been spreading about her are false. After Buster sees the ink on her hands, Jenna simply says that her pen broke, and when Francine asks if she is going to the party, she tries to cover matters up by saying yes, but all she can say is a hesitant, unenthusiastic "Yeah... sure... I can't wait."
| | Then that same night, she talked to [[Mr. Morgan|her father]], saying that she feels doomed after seeing her alarm in which Her father then put on her alarm and says, if she wears this to the party she will not be at laughed at for the rest of her life, because she isn't the only one to have it because other kids have the same problem too. Then Jenna says if there are really other, but she hasn't meet any of them, but her father says that she has meet them, but like her they worry about being teased and keep it a serect. Then she says; "I had done so many great things, but I still wet the bed." Then he tells she does time to time and the alarm is helping her improve.but she says if leaves it home she has wear an old daiper and be laughed even more. but her father reminds her it is not a daiper it is pull up and the she asks he doesn't how hard it. But fortunately, her father understands her problem, as he himself also wet the bed when he was a kid. After the nightmare, Jenna wakes and feels her bed, and decide to go to the party. |

|
| Then at home that same night, she talks to [[Mr. Morgan|her father]], saying that she feels doomed after seeing her alarm. After her father puts on her alarm, he says that bedwetting is nothing to be ashamed of and that millions of kids suffer from the same problem, and that she will not be teased "forever". Then Jenna asks why has she not met any other sufferers if there really is that many of them. Her father says that she probably has met some of them, but, like her, they are worried about being teased and they keep it a secret. Then she acknowledges the fact that she's done many great things (help coach pee-wee soccer, won athlete of the year, etc.), yet she still wets the bed.Then he tells her that she only does it from time to time and wearing the alarm is helping her improve. But she says that if she leaves the alarm at home, she'll have to wear an "old diaper" and be laughed even more. But her father reminds her that it is not a diaper, it is a Pull-Up. She tells him that he doesn't understand. But he tells her, he also understands her problem, as he himself also wet the bed when he was a kid and didn't believe his father when he said that he would grow out of it (as he is tucking her into her bed), but he did and that Jenna will too, and then Jenna asks him ''when ''she will grow out of it.
| | When the night of the sleepover came,her father told that Jenna should call him and come and pick her up Jenna enjoys the party, but spends most of her time in the bathroom. But when it came time to reveal secrets, she lied and said she loves [[George Lundgren|George]], but the next morning, even though she made it throughout the whole night without any bed-wettingand having to go to the bathroom many times. In the morning, the girls have a pillow fight, but Jenna's pull up falls out of the pillow. She told the truth to Francine that she wets the bed. Francine understands, as she used to wet the bed as well. |
|
| |
|
| During the night, Jenna has a nightmare where she is awarded for olympic downhill skiing and everyone finds out her secret. They (the crowd) finds out as Francine says that she is basically a star ski champion, even though she is inflicted with a "horrible disease", nocturnal enuresis. Francine then asks if anyone knows what nocturnal enuresis means. Arthur looks it up in the dictionary (as separate words, "nocturnal" and "enuresis"), puts two and two together, and says Jenna is "nothing but a bed-wetter". The crowd is shocked. Back in "real life", after hearing her alarm go off, Jenna wakes up, feels her bed, and then plans to go to the party the next day.
| | The next day in class, when Jenna notices that George has been acting differently, Francine assures her that her secret will not pass outside the girls, but then George shyly gives Jenna a flower, saying that his ventriloquist dummy, Wally, wanted to give it to her and to think she worried about her real secert getting out. |

|
| When the night of the sleepover comes, Jenna's father tells her that she can always call him to come pick her up, but she says she can't. Jenna thinks that if she can hide the pull-up in her pillow, she can put it on when everyone is asleep. Jenna enjoys the party, but drinks seven colas, has a stomach ache, and excuses herself to the bathroom after Prunella tells her it is a diuretic. When it is time to reveal secrets, she lies that she has a crush on [[George Lundgren|George]], which wins her a prize of sleeping in Muffy's water bed. Jenna then excuses herself to the bathroom after Muffy shows her some of the wave functions. She then continues to worry about wetting the bed, even though she has gone throughout the night without any bed-wetting. She stays up all night, and eventually watches TV on Muffy's portable TV (built into the bed) to help her get to sleep. Unfortunately for her, all of the content features topics that could entice urination, the shows feature a diaper commercial, a show featuring the letter P (a Sesame Street-like show), and Scotsmen talking about a set of bagpipes having a "wee leak in it's bladder, so we'll put on a wee patch". Jenna then has a dream. Her dream takes place in the morning, and she [Jenna] is excited because she ended up not wetting the bed. Muffy then tells her that it's breakfast time, all the girls are on a giant elephant who will presumably take them down to breakfast. The Scottish man from the bagpipe show then helps her cross the "river" to get on the elephant, and he then gets trapped in the river. Jenna then realizes that this must be a dream, as it is "so strange".

| Then, back in reality, Muffy wakes up and realizes the sheets are wet. Jenna starts to apologize, as she thinks that she wet the bed. But, it turns out that Muffy's broach poked a hole in the bed, and the bed being a water-bed, leaked, causing water to go on the sheets. Muffy looks for some tape, and then Jenna runs to the bathroom, stating that she knows she can "make it" (not wet the bed between then and morning). Later that morning, (the sun was already up), Muffy and Jenna wake everyone up by starting a pillow fight. One of the pillows (presumably Jenna's) "explodes". Jenna had hidden her pull-up in her pillowcase, hoping to put it on when everyone else was asleep (she never did), and it fell out along with all the pillow's feathers. The girls see the pull-up, and Jenna tries to cover her tracks by teasing that the girl who owns the pull up is a baby, but the girls more understanding and think Jenna is being mean. The girls then go downstairs for breakfast, all of them except for Jenna and Francine. Then, Francine asks Jenna why she made fun of the pull up, and tells her she could have offended someone. Jenna tells her that she knows she didn't, as she knows it's ''her'' pullup, and reveals her real "Deep Dark Secret" (she is a bed-wetter). Francine then acknowledges her (Jenna's) "fake” secret (she's in love with George), and Jenna tells her that that is completely false. Jenna explains the reason she lied is because she thought the girls would think of her as a baby after learning about her pull-up. Francine also makes her feel better by telling her she is not a baby, and that she also used to wear a pull-up (presumably for the same reason: bedwetting).
