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 | 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 girls so 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 but 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. | ||

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). | Then, back in reality, Muffy wakes up and realizes the sheets are wet.

The next day in class, when Jenna notices that George has been behaving 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.
