(Coming up in this video)
Oh hey Gertrude.
Hi Jenny.
Did you hear? Carter asked me to prom!
Now we can go on a double date.
Double date? Well, Harvey hasn't asked me yet.
He's not really into dancing.
You know, you really should ask somebody less....
More popular.
But Harvey's my boyfriend.
I can't do that to him.
You could do a lot better.
You have so much potential.
Potential?
You think so?
Yeah.
You're so pretty.
But who can tell under those glasses
and that mop you call hair?
and that mop you call hair? My hair.
What's wrong with my hair?
And I got to see stuff.
You know,
I bet with a little bit of work, maybe a makeover.
You could go to the prom with someone like Justin.
Justin?
Every girl in school wants to go with him.
Yeah, but he hasn't found the right one yet.
(Narrator) Jenny thinks Gertrude has great potential
(Narrator) that really could come out if she gets a makeover.
You missed the technology club field trip.
We went to the computer museum.
Oh, wow. I always wanted to go there.
We saw something called a typewriter.
It's like a computer, but it's not! (Laughs)
A typewriter?
Is that some sort of word processing software or something?
No, that's what they used before phones.
That's funny, because my Gramma's phone
has a big cord on it attached to the wall.
Oh, they had that at the museum, too.
A lot of things have changed since the olden days.
Speaking of the olden days,
did you know they had prom back then, too?
Oh, is that when they invented dancing?
They probably had it longer. But guess what?
Did you know Jenny got asked to the prom by Connor?
Somehow I'm not really surprised.
And guess what?
They want to go on a double date.
Oh, who are they going with?
They want to go with you and me.
People like us don't participate in obligatory social practices.
There are more important exercises in life.
I was thinking we could go just this one time.
It'd be something we could remember forever.
Yeah, something I'd want to forget.
Look at this prom dress. It's gorgeous.
Try it on, it'll look amazing on you.
You need one, too. Have you picked anything out yet?
I don't think I'm going to prom.
Harvey was a hard pass on the whole idea.
No way. You need to go to prom.
High school only comes around once, you know.
Well, Harvey won't do it and I can't make him go.
You need to keep your options open.
Huh? Come with me.
Look, if you want a boy to ask you to prom,
you're going to have to do something about that hair and makeup.
A Boy?
First your lips.
We got to find the right color.
Which one do you like better?
Well, I like flower colors.
The next thing to do is to bring out the real color in your eyes.
And about those glasses.
Without glasses, I can't... see very well.
Did your voice just change when you took those glasses off?
Wow. I can breathe a lot easier now.
Do I sound different?
You sound amazing now.
Those glasses must have really put pressure on your nose.
Well, I really can breathe easy now,
but I can't see very well.
One word, contacts.
Contacts?
Is that all we need?
Oh, no. Then we're going to do something about that hair. Next stop.
Robin, do you have time for a special project?
What special project?
This.
And what do you expect me to do with that?
Not much, really.
Just make her the cutest girl in school.
That's a tall order.
How much time do I have?
How does an hour sound?
You know what? I need three.
How about two And we have a deal.
Deal.
All right. See you in two hours.
What's your name honey? Gertrude.
Oh, we're going to have to do something about that, too.
You're in good hands.
Justin! What is it?
I came to talk to you about prom.
Oh yeah, I guess it is that time of year.
Have you asked anybody to go yet?
No. You're not asking me to take you. Are you?
No. I'm already going with Connor Holiday.
Good. Because brunettes aren't my type.
No, I have a friend,
a new friend that's in town, and I thought you could go with her.
Justin Wolfe doesn't go on blind dates.
Well, I wish he would reconsider.
So would a lot of girls,
time's up. Is she done?
Well, here it goes.
OK. Three, two, one.
I can't believe it.
Is that you, Gertrude?
Oh, no, it's Trudy now, Trudy.
Trudy, You have to come with me.
There's someone you need to meet.
OK.
(Narrator) Now that Jennie helped Gertrude change her look,
(Narrator) she wants her to get a date for the prom with the most popular boy in school.
There's Justin. He's shooting baskets.
Yeah.
Well, I really want you to meet him.
I've met him. He goes to school here.
Yeah, but has he met you?
What? Come on.
Justin!
Jenny, I'm trying.
Ahhhhh...
So Jenny says that you're new around here.
Umm, sort of.
Do you think that maybe you'd like to get a burger, a shake,
a salad, something like that after school?
I don't know.
Yes, she'd love to.
So did you know I'm on the school basketball team,
football team, and baseball team?
Yeah, I've heard.
But I haven't decided which ones I want to do in college,
because I have to limit myself to only two of those.
Oh, college. I want to major in marine biology.
Well, I want to major in sports management,
because if you play your cards right, you can wind up running a retail store.
Well, after I get my degree, I was hoping to get my P.h.D.
Oh, that's really cool.
You know, I've always wanted a BMW.
P.H.D. is not a car.
It's an advanced degree.
It can really open a lot of doors.
Speaking of a lot of doors, the BMW SUV has five doors.
That's a lot of doors.
Yeah. I never really thought about it that way.
I'm going to go powder my nose.
You mind if I go to the ladies room?
Of course I'll allow that.
But I want to get a selfie first.
Is that Gertrude with Justin Wolfe?
Oh, I'm going to put a stop to this.
(Narrator) Harvey just found out that Gertrude and Justin are together.
What's he going to do about it?
You know, I've been getting a lot of messages
that we should go to prom.
Messages. Mm hmm.
You know, it's all about popularity.
Well, I'd like to go to prom. But...
Gertrude What do you doing with him?
Harvey?
We're just having a talk.
Harvey, Harvey Clarke?
Yeah, that's the name. Say it, don't spray it.
Do you know this nerd?
Yeah, he's my boyfriend.
Yeah, she's my girlfriend.
Do you want to make something out of it?
Wait, are you taking me on?
No. As long as you back off and leave right now.
Look, I'm sorry.
This dweeb is embarrassing You like this.
Let me go outside and take care of him.
No, I can take care of this.
Gertrude. What?
You know what?
I decided what I want to do.
Good. Let's get this over with.
Agreed.
Harvey, will you take me to the prom?
I'd love to.
Gertrude's friend Jenny pushed her to find another guy.
Turns out she was with the right person all along.
It's great to feel good about yourself.
But don't judge others based solely on their looks.
