Alyson: I can't wait to get home and give myself a manicure!

Maria: ugh! How can you get so excited about nail polish?

It's opalescent.

Sharon: if you watch my stuff I'll get us juice.

Okay, but hurry.

The movie starts in twelve minutes.

Three strawberry banana juices, please.

Thanks.

Sharon: what's this?

Cashier: a mister spy toy,

Free for kids 13 and under.

13 And under?

(Laughter)

Thank you.

That was embarrassing.

What happened?

The juice guy thought I was 13 and under.

Really?

Maria: oh, forget it.

When they get that old,

They can't tell the difference

Between 13 and 14.

I guess.

Isn't that griffin?

Alyson: you wanna say hi?

Nah. He's not my favourite person.

If you don't want that, can I have it?

Go for it.

Alyson: thanks!

(Giggle)

Maria: oh hey, look.

Teen fashion week.

Sharon: presenting a celebration of cool teen fashions,

Featuring a spring fashion show,

And fun after-party.

Check out the small print.

With hot new band, "mangled metal".

No way!

Way! My dad knows the mall manager.

So I called him up,

Did a mega sell job, got them the gig.

This is so cool.

Now we can all party together!

Hey, guys, under the makeup?

That kind looks like nina.

Sort of,

Accept she'd be wearing a witch's hat!

(Laughter)

Nina: very funny, braceface.

It's actually a lulu fallani dress.

Not that you'd know the difference.

You are modeling in the show?

Uh-huh.

You should see the outfits I'm wearing.

Very cutting edge.

Too bad they don't go with braces.

Oh, wait!

There's a children's fashion show next month.

You could check that out.

(Laughing)

Maria: come on, we'll be late for the movie.

Alyson: it's got evan harwood in it, remember?

Maria: dreamy eyes.

Chiselled cheekbones.

One please, for mister spy.

Same here.

Me, too, um...

Ticket guy: proof of age,

The movie's for 14 and up.

Sharon: excuse me?

I am fourteen!

Just show him the card.

But this is ridiculous!

We're gonna miss the opening credits.

Oh, fine.

Girl: two please, mister spy.

Girl: thanks.

Sharon: here!

I can't believe he carded me!

I'm three months older than you are!

Oh, just forget it.

Alyson: how about those?

Sharon: sorry.

Alyson: thanks.

Do you think it was my braces?

Maria: sharon, cool it,

The movie's about to start.

What about those girls who got in ahead of me?

They're in the same grade as us

And they didn't get carded.

Alyson: it's obvious why they got in.

They're pretty, you know, developed.

Sharon: developed!

You think that's it?

(Man clears throat)

Sharon: sorry.

Maybe is just the tops their wearing.

Maria: shhhh.

Just watch the movie and get your mind off it.

Uh, okay.

(Mission impossible music)

Sharon: was it true?

Was that why I was being treated like a kid?

Because I was under-developed?

Helen: don't worry about it, sweetie.

The women in my family have always been late bloomers.

We fill out eventually though.

I was shaped just like you at your age,

And I turned out fine!

Well, thank you for agreeing.

I don't want to fill out eventually.

I need it to happen now!

Helen: don't be in such a hurry to grow up, sharon.

It has its own set of problems.

Look, why don't you buy a nice new outfit

For the party?

It'll make you feel better.

Laurence!

Oh, look, sharon, this one's adorable.

It's pink, alyson.

Pink is for babies.

Will you get off this kick?

No. I need clothes that say, 14 and up!

Like, what she's wearing!

Alyson: you okay in there?

Sharon: um, fine.

It's kind of not...

You, sharon.

Oh, but this style is so perfect!

Maybe if we brought you a smaller size.

You think?

It's not working, is it.

Not exactly. But I have an idea.

We'll go check out some other tops

And bring you some totally awesome stuff!

You will love these!

Thanks.

Oh, I look like a birthday cake!

(Sharon clears throat)

Uh, mmmm...

(Sharon moans)

Alyson: my friend has tried on a gazillion tops

And they all look terrible on her!

Thanks.

Good one.

Sorry, but you know what I mean.

Why can't they make cute, little tops for girls with...

Cute, little, tops?

I have a suggestion.

(Electronic beeping)

Sales woman: the enhancer 3000!

Our state-of-the-art- pump-up bra!

Ahhhh!

Awesome, huh?

And check out the features:

Discreet, electrical pump remote,

Instant response.

Ooohhh!

There's even a pre-programming device!

What? Like a vcr?

Exactly!

A lot of girls don't want breasts during the day,

But for some of the evening fashions?

They're great to have.

With the enhancer 3000, you can go from cute

To curvaceous whenever you want to!

You're always in control.

You're wearing it now?

You bet I am.

Sharon: double a battery,

Convertible to european voltage!

Internet access.

You're gonna set off car alarms!

I don't care!

This bra is amazing.

Look at me now! I definitely look older.

There's no way anyone would think I'm 13.

Maria: sharon, you look exactly like you did an hour ago

Except, you know, slightly more filled out.

Well, I think it's a huge difference.

(Sigh) if you say so.

And I'll prove it to you.

Maria: oh, this is nuts.

Sharon: no, it's not. I'm trying to make a point.

Alyson: what can it hurt?

Sharon: okay, act natural.

He left!

Too bad, let's go.

No wait, what's the diff?

Try getting a ticket from her.

Don't encourage this.

Good point.

One please for mister spy.

Sharon: uhm, that's okay.

I just remembered I've seen it.

It worked!

I finally look 14 and up.

Alyson: that's totally great!

But I kind of wish you would have waited until tomorrow.

Why?

I wanted to go for juice, so you could get me another toy.

(Laughter)

Sorry. (Giggle)

Maria: I still say you're nuts

For what you paid for that thing.

I barely notice a difference.

And why would you wear it to school?

Maybe because of that, maria!

What? He held the door.

He's a senior, in case you didn't notice.

Hi, guys.

Don't you get it?

It's just the way you're acting.

That's the difference.

And how am I acting?

Confident.

You don't need electric underwear for that.

Yes, I do...

Until mother nature does the job.

Toque guy: excuse me, are you the french exchange student?

Oh my gosh!

You think I look french?

(Laughter)

Nina: as if.

She'll see.

Wow, the clothes from the fashion show?

They're all 30 percent off!

Perfect.

I'm gonna need some new clothes.

Griffin: hey, watch it!

Griffin?

Sharon. Uh hi.

What're you doing here?

Scoping babes. What else?

Mr. Personality.

Jeremy: here you go.

Thanks.

Um, this is jeremy.

Nice to meet you.

This is sharon,

My quasi little sister, whatever.

We're nowhere near quasi.

And as for being little-

I can see he got that wrong.

P.a. Voice: welcome to teen fashion week!

Griffin: c'mon. Let's check out the models.

See you later.

Okay.

(Music)

(Sigh) that dress is just gorgeous.

Yeah. And it's padded, too.

Sharon!

What?

(Laughter)

So, catch you at the party tonight?

Hey, s-sharon...

Uh, coming to the party?

You bet!

Great.

See you tonight then.

Sharon: this was amazing.

I'd gone from being treated like a kid

To being noticed as a grown-up.

I could hardly wait for that party!

Alyson: this is called peach patootie.

Just a little metallic, but it goes with your eyes.

Ai mama mia,

Can we step on it, guys?

I wanna get there before the set starts.

Almost done!

(Coughing)

There! Shine-free! Have a look.

Wow.

Isn't that nina's dress?

Uh-huh. I bought it after the show!

Alyson: you look beautiful, sharon.

Whoa, go easy.

With the enhancer 3000 you're always in control!

Helen: oh, sharon,

I'm on my way to pilates.

Sharon?

Sharon: just looking for something!

Oh, well, see you later.

Have fun, girls.

And don't forget, home by ten.

Sharon: no problem.

Phew! That was close.

Maria: then why wear something that makes you hide?

C'mon, maria, you know how mothers are.

They haven't got a clue!

(Rock music)

Sharon: I wonder if jeremy's here, yet.

Um, excuse me!

Sharon: that was rude.

Maria: huh! No kidding.

Alyson: they sound wicked!

♪♪♪

Oh look, there's jeremy!

Come on, let's say hi.

Hello?

Jeremy: and that's when I knew for sure.

Basketball, not my game.

(Laughter)

Sharon: jeremy, hi!

Hey sharon.

So...

Did you see they have a contest here?

You can win a trip to saskatoon.

And people are entering?

(Laugh)

Griffin: hey!

Jeremy: food's up, ladies. Care to join us?

Maybe later.

Jeremy: well, save me a dance, okay?

He wants to dance with me!

Yeah, just go easy, sharon.

Would you stop it?

You've been saying stuff like that

Ever since I got...

The bra.

What is with you??

Nothing.

Just, don't come on too strong, that's all.

I'm not, I'm just being friendly!

Now will you please relax, it's a party!

Nina: they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

But that dress still looked better on me.

And I didn't have to stuff a bunch of kleenex in it.

Oh, really?

Well, for your information...

She doesn't need the details.

(Laughter)

♪♪♪

Jeremy: time for my dance.

Thanks!

Is it true?

Are you really related to braceface?

Braceface?

Yeah. You know, sharon spitz?

Oh, sharon.

Right. Well, yes and no.

My mom and her dad are... "A thing".

And your name is griffin?

Yeah.

Isn't that like, a dragon?

Sort of. Medieval, with wings.

Oh, I love medieval stuff.

It's so medieval.

I'd love some more soda.

Um, sure.

♪♪♪

I love that song.

Yeah, me too.

Gosh!

Warm in here... What're you doing?

Oowww!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

♪♪♪

Sharon: maria, help! Help!

Sharon, what on earth?

The pump is stuck!

I can't make them go down!

Are you serious?

Yes!

They keep getting bigger!

Oh, no!

I have to get out of here!

Okay. Don't panic. We just have to...

Conceal you!

Maria: welcome to teen fashion week!

It's a blast!

Almost there.

Just keep smiling and moving!

Ahhhh!

(Everyone gasps)

(Hysterical laughter)

(Popping sound)

(Laughter)

Come on.

Sharon: thanks.

I'll bring your jacket back.

Griffin: don't worry about it.

(Crying)

It's okay.

It's all over now.

Griffin: gum?

Sharon: no, thanks.

Braces.

Right.

I quit smoking, so...

Now I'll probably get tooth decay.

You quit? Really?

That's great.

Eh, it was time.

Good for you.

It's hard sometimes to know

When something's right.

So? You make mistakes.

It's okay. You learn.

Sometimes they're big mistakes.

That blow up in your face.

Griffin: hey, sharon?

(Pop!)

(Laughter)

Sharon: so, this growing up thing?

I decided it could wait a while,

Not that I wasn't still interested.

But for now? I was happy where I was.
