Now in 7th grade, Paul's little sister Debbie (Torrey Anne Cook) who has a crush on Kevin asks him to a cotillion dance when Paul weasels out of escorting her. Paul has "school spirit" on his mind by watching chesty cheerleader Dina Delgado (Stefanie Scott) with Randy and Doug at the Friday night football game. At the dance, Kevin feels out of place when he and Debbie are chosen to lead in the "Sweetheart Waltz". But when Debbie wants a souvenir pictures of their night, he ditches her for some fresh air. While outside, the guys break the bad news, something slipped from Dina's sweater--she "stuffs". Heart broken over Kevin's absence, Debbie finds him but her grandmother's pearl earring accidentally falls in the pool. Playing hero, Kevin dives in to retrieve it, asks her to dance, and gets their picture taken together.
