A group of teenage friends - ringing in the New Year at a party in a trashed living room. Toasts of friendship - made to each other and especially to their invisible friend, Ralph for his help in bringing them to this moment

The scene resets to the orderly look of the room about three hours earlier. It is evident that cliques of kids at the party are not getting along. Foreigners clash with American, Cheerleaders with Punks, Sister clashes with Sister. Each clique fantasizes about how they could hurt the other. The prospect of carrying out their fantasies is met with disapproval by their invisible friend Ralph, who wants them all to get along. Ralph reminds a key person in each clique of atime in her own life when she was made to feel exactly as she is planning to make the other feel.

Page and her friend Sunni were planning to sabotage Page's sister, Marta's enjoyment of the party by spilling punch on her dress. Ralph reminds Page of how she felt on St. Patrick's Day in the Pebble View School Library when her homework was sabotaged.

Marta and her friend Skye were planning to embarrass Page by reading Page's diary out loud at the party. Ralph reminds Marta of how she felt one Halloween at the Happy Home for Children when her privacy was violated, before she was adopted into Page's family.

Punks Michigan, Candy and Jen were planning to taunt the Cheerleaders mercilessly about the ditsy way they talk. Ralph reminds Michigan of the Slumber Party on the Fourth of July where she was reduced to tears by merciless teasing.

Cheerleader Sugar and her friend Honey were planning to trash the party when no one was watching and blame the punks. Ralph reminds Sugar of how bad she felt on the Lumpy the Clown Birthday show whe she got blamed for something she didn't do.

The kids do not agree with Ralph that his examples are valid and they seem bent on destroying any hope of friendship with their rivals.

Foreigners Junipero and Habib do not think very highly of Americans Bill and Karl and vice versa. It takes a story of a castle and an old world holiday called Equalerior Day to help them get along.

Meanwhile, the Cheerleaders are left alone in the living room. Sugar is considering what Ralph reminded her of, but before she can make a decision Ralph trashes the room. The punks enter the room followed by the others. Suspicion for the mess falls on the punks.

The moment of truth for Sugar has arrived. Sugar makes a fateful decision. She steps in and defend the punks, testifying that they didn't do it. Habib and Junipero parrot the ditsy voice in which Sugar has just spoken. Michigan comes to her defense, reprimanding Habib and Junipero for teasing her new friend. Bill and Karl, trying to figure out who trashed the room find a note under the couch and proceed to read it out loud. Marta, realizing that it's a private note to Page from an admiring boy at school, steps in and takes the note. She is about to return it to her sister, when Page tells her to stop. Page notices that Marta's dress has become caught and is in danger of ripping if she continues.

The friendships are just beginning as they count down to midnight and a New Year!
