When Sandy's parents decided to stay in America, Sandy enrolled at Rydell High School where she befriended another girl named Frenchy, a member of a group of girls at the school called The Pink Ladies. Sandy tells The Pink Ladies about her summer romance with Danny, who the lead Pink Lady Rizzo knows as he also goes to Rydell High and is leader of a group of boys called The T Birds. The Pink Ladies take Sandy to meet with Danny. At first, the two are happy to see each other, but Sandy becomes annoyed when Danny starts to use his bad boy attitude towards her in front of his friends, causing Sandy to storm off, followed by the equally unimpressed Pink Ladies.
To cheer up Sandy,Frenchy invites her to come to a slumber party with the other Pink Ladies.
