Plot[]
Pepper Ann's old best friend, Brenda, visits -- PA's initially excited, but it quickly becomes apparent that she and Brenda just don't make compatible friends anymore and ultimately finds her old-BFF to be annoying and possessive (especially since Brenda ultimately acts no different than she did from when she and PA were eight).
