Franky, however, admits that she doesn't know anything about girls either, so they decide to ask Grace, an avid ballet dancer, for help. Before Grace can answer, they are interrupted by Grace's friend, Mini, who is not impressed to see Grace hanging out with the three, and especially Franky. Grace, however, meets up with Rich later on in the nearby park, and offers to help him, reasoning that, as she is a good actress, she can easily impersonate a metalhead. Rich is reluctant at first, saying that she represents everything he despises in the world, but eventually agrees.
