Complete story — includes the ending

Drake Parker ( Drake Bell ) and Josh Nichols ( Josh Peck ) are two teenagers who attend the same high school in their hometown of San Diego, California. Drake, an aspiring musician, is a very popular teenager amongst their classmates, while Josh is more of a nerdy teenager, whom Drake wants nothing to do with and describes as "unusual". On top of this, Drake's mom, Audrey ( Nancy Sullivan ), and Josh's dad, Walter ( Jonathan Goldstein ), have recently begun dating. One day, Walter and Audrey formally announce to both Drake and Josh, as well as Drake's little sister, Megan ( Miranda Cosgrove ), that they are getting married. Josh is instantly thrilled about having a new stepbrother, however Drake is horrified at the thought. Drake becomes even more horrified when he learns that Josh is "Miss Nancy", the anonymous advice columnist for their school's newspaper, and that Josh believes he must dress like a woman in order to give adequate advice. Drake then decides to use this information to his advantage in order to secure a date with Tiffany Margolis ( Julie Gonzalo ), who wrote to Miss Nancy seeking relationship advice. Drake even threatens to reveal Josh's secret to the entire school unless Josh helps him. Unfortunately, it's Josh who winds up in trouble after Tiffany's angered boyfriend, Buck (Joey Mendicino), believes that Tiffany is on a date with Josh instead, challenging him to a fight. On the advice of Drake, Josh then trains under a local karate instructor, but is still knocked out with one punch during the fight. Now feeling guilty over the whole situation, Drake apologizes and helps Josh realize that he can give good advice without wearing his "Miss Nancy" attire. The boys then make up and finally begin to accept each other as stepbrothers.
