The Pikes are heading back to Sea City, but this time, Mrs. Barrett is going too. She somehow managed to rent a smaller house right next to theirs on the beach. The Pikes also ask Jessi to go in place of Stacey or Mary Anne to help them out. Stacey goes with Mrs. Barrett as her helper.

She's super worried about what the Pikes think of her and how they'll hate her for not working as hard as the older girls do. She goes overboard making breakfast and taking care of the kids.

All she knows is that now she misses him and can't stop thinking about him. At the same time, SMS launches yet another new program. All the eighth graders will get assigned into groups of four. Each group has to create a project around a young adult writer they get assigned. Mary Anne instantly starts worrying about who will be in her group. When she finally gets her assignment, she's in a group with Pete and Miranda, one of those twins she and Kristy used to hang around, but Logan is also in her group.

Miranda jumps at the chance to switch places with her because she hates Pete for snapping her bra
