Abby is annoyed that she not only has to be on irritating Dirk's team for the Crazy Olympics, but she also has to pet-sit his ant farm over the weekend.

Abby's teacher has asked her to pet-sit Mr. Nibbles, the class hamster, over spring break, but her apartment building has a rule against owning pets. After solving that problem, Abby is disappointed that Mr. Nibbles likes Tess better than her. Then Rachel arrives and things go from bad to worse.
