Mrs. Shipulski put out everybody's baby pictures on her bulletin board with a title "Guess that Baby!” Teddy insults Nate's baby picture. Then Nate thinks he found Jenny's baby picture, but it turns out to be Gina's picture and she rubs it in Nate's face. Next during homeroom, Mrs. Godfrey rearranged the seating chart so that Gina was BEHIND Nate. In first period social studies, Mrs. Godfrey assigned a project on a famous American, but there's bad news, Nate gets paired with Gina! (Their report is on Benjamin Franklin.) Sixth, Nate becomes a fleeceball captain. (Fleeceball is indoor baseball.) Then, Nate tries to make science more interesting while his teacher is asleep, but his teacher wakes up and sends him to the Library for the rest of the period. Nate researches Benjamin Franklin taking notes in comic form. He goes to see his science teacher because he jazzed up science a little and forgets about the captain’s meeting to pick their teams. So coach picks his team for him but coach picks Gina! Nate names his team the Phycho Dogs but forgets to tell his coach the name and Gina beats him to it telling coach the team name is the Kuddle Kittens. Nate's team lost the first fleeceball game because the other team kept hitting the ball to Gina! Gina doesn’t follow the directions that say that they must have original visual aids. Luckily Nate has his comics which he turns in to Mrs.Godfrey. Nate's team wins the Championship!
