Synopsis
Jenny feels that her mother is overprotective of her and wants a life of her own. Dr. Wakeman allows Jenny to live in the backyard shed, and promises that she will never interfere with her life. Soon Jenny's new "bachelor pad" is the new hot spot in town, but she's throwing so many parties that she begins to slack off on her heroic duties.
Plot
All the doors and window were shuttered an all other communications were cut so Jenny could make a phone call to Brad. It turned out Mrs. Wakeman was on the third line to intrude on Jenny's business. The intrusion was also to introduce Mrs. Wakeman's latest invention, a mist to put insomniac babies to sleep. Jenny got irritated by her mom's constant nagging and intruding so she wanted to move out of the house. She took residence in the backyard tool shed then renovated it to make it her own. Brad, Tuck, Sheldon, and the kids from school found out about Jenny's new place so they threw a wild party. The noise bothered Mrs. Wakeman but she didn't want to intrude on Jenny's new freedom.
The next morning, Jenny felt the effects of a lack of sleep. It affected her throughout the day. Since the students had a rockin' time at the party the night before, why not throw another party the following night...then the next night...then the next night? The parties were always loud but Mrs. Wakeman still wouldn't interfere. Jenny enjoyed her nightly parties. She was getting so much positive attention. However, her performance at school wasn't too positive. Jenny thought she had it under control but looking at her house and appearance and a gruff call from Vice Principal Razinsky, it was time to stop. Her partygoers thought otherwise. The next party was so wild, even the Space Bikers crashed it. Soon the lights went out and everybody left.
The partiers were still partying...on the move! No matter what Jenny did, they just wouldn't stop partying and wrecking the town as they moved closer and closer to the edge of a cliff. Jenny remembered her mom's insomniac mist. After a full charge, Jenny saved her sleepless partying peers from falling to their demise.
Jenny woke the dosing Brad and Tuck and enlisted them to clean up and put things back to normal. Mrs. Wakeman called and grounded the trio of minors for a month. The way a kid thinks of freedom is worlds different from the thoughts of an actual, experienced adult.
