The story is about siblings Lizzie and Zack. Lizzie enjoys cleaning and had already cleaned her room, while Zack had not cleaned his room as their mother instructed. When Zack asked Lizzie for a ride to the movies, Lizzie refused because she was busy cleaning. In response, Zack poured a drink on Lizzie's bed, angering her. They argued until Zack apologized and offered to clean up his mess. Lizzie then agreed to take Zack to the movies.
