[2][3][4][5][6][7] In 50 BC, in an Abyssinian castle, Princess Nawa uses a pair of enchanted earrings to escape an arranged marriage by swapping bodies with a slave girl.

After that, she and her friends visit the local mall, where Jessica gets her rival Bianca into trouble and finds the earrings in an African-themed store.

At her own home, where she works as a gardener, her parents tell her about their marital problems and she helps them rekindle their sex life.

Faced with Jake's infidelity, April begins to fall in love with Jessica, who agrees to take her to the prom.

At the cheering competition, Jessica signals romantically to Billy while disguised as the school mascot, but when the head of her suit falls off, he becomes confused and leaves with Bianca.

After Jessica makes up with Billy, the film ends with the school's graduation ceremony, followed by a scene in which Clive, still running from the law and still dressed in lingerie and handcuffs, is picked up by a bartender who believes, based on earlier events, that he is gay.

Wes Takahashi, former animator and visual effects supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic, makes a cameo appearance as a news reporter.
