16 WISHES

Eager to grow up, Abigail "Abby" Louise Jensen (Debby Ryan) has been planning for her Sweet 16th birthday party ever since she was a little girl with a list of secret wishes she wants to come true. When the big day finally arrives, she excitedly adds her 16th and final wish to the secret wish list she's been keeping. Then begins the first of many unusual occurrences, each including visits from a peculiar woman, Celeste (Anna Mae Routledge). She first appears as an exterminator when the Jensen's house get overrun with wasps that has been building up for 16 years. The Jenson family are now unable to go back into their house until the wasps are exterminated. Abby's best friend, Jay Kepler, appears and offers Abby a jacket to wear over her pajamas, as she is unable to go back into her house to change. As Jay and Abby goes to their bus stop, a delivery truck pulls up, and Celeste comes out, dressed as a mail women and gives a package to Abby. When Abby opens it, she discovers 16 candles and a matchbox.
Her birthday gets a whole lot brighter when Abby realizes that the candles correspond to her 16 wishes on her list and that they're each coming true. She lands the attention of her crush, she gets back at her lifelong nemesis, Krista Cook (Karissa Tynes), and she is suddenly fashionable, athletic, and popular. It goes horribly wrong after she makes her 9th wish which is for everyone to stop treating her like a kid. Her wish backfires with her becoming an adult instead. In addition, she misses out on her Sweet 16, has no friends, and is forced to move away from her parent's house and stop attending high school. Abby must race against the clock and make everything normal again before midnight after which she's stuck with her new life for good.
Abby goes to Krista's Sweet 16 and convinces Jay (her best friend), who also has a crush on her, that they are best friends. However, Jay is unable to help her and can do nothing. Afterward, Abby finds a loophole through the "rules", seeing as how her last wish was a picture of her crush, glued on with gum, which the rules don't know about. Her life then goes back to normal, along with some dead wasps in the process. She and Krista become friends after Krista tells Abby why she hates her (Back in the 3rd grade, Abby and Jay made a pact to be best friends forever, but up until that point, Krista and Jay had been best friends). Abby and Krista have a combined Sweet 16 party and Krista and Logan, Abby's former crush, hook up. Abby and Jay kiss before sharing a dance together
