Guide to: Money and Parties is an episode of the Nickelodeon television series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
Ned and his friends are short on money to go to the best live concert of the decade: the Fig Valley Music Festival. So, they decide to earn the money by doing jobs. Being lazy, Ned ends up borrowing money from Missy, whereas Cookie attempts to perform magic tricks(all of which fail). In return, Ned has to do whatever she says until he has worked for the amount taken. Moze, on the other hand, does her horrible jobs, such as babysitting, and gets enough money for herself and still have some leftover greens. When she sees Ned and Cookie suffering under Missy, she decides to put a stop by giving them money to repay her back, saying 'I'm gonna kick myself in the morning for doing this'. The ending shows Ned asking Moze how he and Cookie can repay her for saving them and then Ned and Cookie tied up together with some rowdy children.
Ned, Cookie, and Moze attend "Seth's Basement Bash".Ned goes to Seth's party with Missy because she asked him so many times he had no choice. (The last instance mentioned is actually Missy's henchmen holding him against lockers). Moze went with Faymen and kisses him but yet again but it still has no sparks. Cookie can't get in the party because he got banned from Seth's house. This is because at Seth's last party he accidentally started a fire in Seth's house dancing to a particular very fast song that made him release the 'animal' within him. After seeing a group of pretty girls get in even though they weren't invited, Cookie then dresses as Symone from the short "Girls". He manage to get in. Ned sees Suzie at the party. He misses her and wants to talk to her very much but Missy can't see Ned with Suzie and Suzie can't see Ned with Missy. Ned fakes being trapped in a closet, so Missy gets help. Moze takes Cookie's magnetized bottle for 'spin the bottle', a game that involves kissing whoever the bottle is pointing at, and his magnetic paperclip. She tells Cookie that she is only doing it to compare Faymen's kiss with Ned's, as he was shocked that she wanted to kiss Ned. She realizes that the only time she felt "sparks" when kissed was when she and Ned kissed (sort of an accident) in "Double Dating & The Last Day". But every time she pulls Ned next to her, he leaves too early and Coconut Head comes. She is forced to kiss Coconut Head. The next time she tries to bring Ned, Faymen's dog appears instead. Cookie sees Lisa with Seth and tries to break them up. Missy breaks down the door to the closet, finding out he isn't in there. She gets banned from the house. Ned then tells Suzie and Missy the truth and he leaves to 'rescue' Missy and everything is back to normal, but then Suzie has to leave. Faymen comes to sit down (much to Moze's frustration). The particular very fast song comes on and Cookie dances like crazy. His wig falls onto the stove, starting a fire. The music stops and everyone is silent, recognizing Cookie and staring at him in shock. Cookie flees, knocking Ned into the seat the magnetic paper clip is in front of. The bottle spins due to the impact and it points to the paper clip (and Ned), so Moze and Ned kiss, and there are not only sparks but fireworks! After they kiss, everyone in the party is evacuating because of the fire (it's quite small) but they take no notice. They are bewildered and Moze asks, in shock, "Is it me or is it hot in here?" (a clever pun, due to the fire that is around them) Ned, equally in shock, with a trembling voice, responds "Maybe?" The episode ends with Moze and Ned staring horrified at each other, with everyone else screaming and leaving the party up the stairs.
