A hilarious account of preparing for New Years Eve for the millennium with romance, drama, shopping, two devilish stepsisters, and a happily-ever-after ending. Ashley Ella Toral wants to spend the last hours of 1999 and the first hours of the year 2000 at the Green Hill Country Club with her (hopefully) soon-to-be boyfriend. And whats standing in the way of Ashleys romantic success? A stepmother who yells "Yoo-hoo!" to all Ashleys friends, and twin stepsisters who think theres nothing more fun than listening in on Ashleys phone conversations. At first, Ashleys stepmother, Phyllis, says that she needs a night out and so Ashley must baby-sit the twins. But then Phyllis has the bright idea of calling the mother of one of the party-throwers to get the twins invited, too! So worse than having to baby-sit, shell have the twins at the party with her. Now Ashley isnt sure its worth showing up to the country club at all -- never mind what shes going to wear. As the seconds tick down to the year 2000, will some fairy godmother appear to save the night so that Ashley can dance with her Prince Charming and welcome the new millennium?
