While spending an evening outside searching for a shooting star to make their wish to switch back, they decide to spend one more day as each other. As they each become accustomed to the other's life, they begin to relate to one another better and become closer as sisters. Eventually, however, Hayley and Alexia learn to look at their lives with new perspective. Their parents choose not to interfere, as they had just started a 'hands-off' approach to parenting. One day, Hayley (in Alexia's body) wears the same outfit that she had worn the day before, and Alexia (in Hayley's body) goes to school dressed up as a dominatrix. They each spend the next few days purposely trying to ruin anything important to the other, such as their social reputation and extra-curricular activities.

Hayley is content to fill her sister's role for the day, as she can now experience the glamor of Alexia's life firsthand.Īfter the first day ends, they realize that they may be stuck like this for a while. Hayley assumes responsibility for the swap, mentioning her wish.ĭistraught, Alexia forbids Hayley to go to school in her place, and she instigates a variety of wish-making attempts for Hayley to reverse their condition, all of which are unsuccessful. The two of them awaken the next morning to find themselves trapped in each other's body. When Hayley sees a shooting star, she wishes aloud to become her sister Alexia, then turns to see Alexia also watching the sky. One night, Hayley is outside studying the night sky for her science class, while Alexia relaxes in the outdoor hot tub with her boyfriend, Kyle. Hayley and Alexia don't get along well at all, with Hayley resenting her reliance on her frequently late sister for a ride to school and Alexia preferring not to be seen with her less-than-cool younger sister. Hayley is socially reserved, admiring her older sister's popularity from a distance while excelling in her studies, particularly science and math. Alexia's days revolve around being popular, dressing stylishly, and spending time with her jock boyfriend, while exerting minimal effort academically. The two Wheaton sisters share a household and a high school, but both feel that they have little else in common.
