Freddy, a nerdy fourth-grade boy, wants to ask his crush, Courtney, the most popular girl in school, to tomorrow’s Snowflake Dance, but he is too shy and self-conscious to ask her out. He tells his friends, Abby and Garrett, about this while they sit on the bench during gym class as he draws a portrait of Courtney in his sketchbook, and they reluctantly agree to help. Freddy’s crush is revealed to the class after he gets knocked out by a kickball and confesses his feelings for Courtney while in a daze. As Freddy walks out of the nurse’s office, Courtney looks at him and he freezes, speechless.

Garrett and Abby help Freddy practice asking Courtney out in the drama room with various costumes and props. They also help him make a paper flower bouquet in art class as they talk about Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and decide to ask Courtney the following morning since school is almost over. Abby is helping reluctantly, but the boys don’t notice.

​

Freddy, Abby, and Garrett split off at their lockers as Freddy is getting picked up by his mom, and Abby and Garrett are taking the bus. Hunter and Courtney plan to embarrass Freddy by having Courtney agree to go to the dance with him and end up showing up with Hunter, but Hunter isn’t quite so sure about the plan. As Freddy leaves the school, he literally runs into Hunter as he continues working on the portrait of Courtney. Hunter pins Freddy against the fence and interrogates him. He spills out his backpack and destroys the paper flower bouquet.

Later, Freddy cries at home, destroys the portrait of Courtney, and throws his sketchbook across the room. He knocks over a figurine with this as he pick it back up, he finds a dusty box set of Star Trek: TNG, opens it, and inside are Polaroid photographs of him and Abby on Halloween and as well as them with Garrett, too. Freddy has a realization and draws a portait of Abby next to Courtney’s in his sketchbook.

The next morning, he walks out of the principal’s office, walks down the hallway, and arrives at his locker. Hunter barrels around the corner, asking him if he’s ready for round two, but the School Principal appears and interrupts them. She takes him away to her office for yesterday’s incident. Garrett and Abby have watched the whole thing and Freddy pulls a poster out of his locker and asks Abby to go to the dance with him. Abby is speechless and runs into the Girl’s Bathroom. Freddy is numb and hangs his head in his locker and Garrett tries to console him. As Freddy closes his locker, Abby appears behind it and they have a heart-to-heart, but Abby ultimately agrees to go to the dance with him.

Later, Freddy approaches Courtney. She assumes he’s there to ask her to the school dance, but instead he apologizes for telling the whole class he had a crush on her. She is angered and Freddy walks away. Hunter watches this all go down but restrains himself.

That night, Freddy and Abby show up late to the dance because the duct tape accessories he made for them took a longer time to make than expected. As they walk through the school courtyard, snow begins to fall and slow music emanates from a side gym door. They decide to dance in the snowfall and Courtney jealously watches them from inside as Hunter spills a trash bag and falls in it while in a reflective vest. As Freddy and Abby finish dancing, Garrett shows up at the side door. Freddy invites him over and the three dance and have fun in the snowfall.
