They reconcile and walk into the ballroom hand in hand.

When she arrives at the prom, Andie has second thoughts about braving the crowd on her own until she sees Duckie. Using the fabric from Iona's dress and the dress that her father had bought, Andie creates a pink prom dress.

Andie goes to Iona, upset about what happened, and asks for Iona's old prom dress. Duckie overhears Steff and attacks him in the hallway. Andie runs away as a teary-eyed Blane leaves, with Steff trashing Andie as he passes. Andie calls Blane a liar and tells him that he is ashamed of being seen with her because he knows his rich friends will not approve. When asked about the prom, he claims that he had already asked somebody else but had forgotten. At school, Andie confronts Blane for avoiding her and not returning her calls. Jack breaks down, revealing that he is still bitter and depressed about his wife having left him. However, they begin to argue because Jack has been lying about going to a full-time job. Jack presents Andie with a pink dress that he has bought for her. Meanwhile, Blane, pressured by Steff and his rich friends, begins distancing himself from Andie. Andie visits Iona the next day to talk about the date. She eventually allows him to drop her off and he asks her to the prom and they share their first kiss. Andie tells Blane that she wants to go home, but refuses to let him bring her there, admitting that she doesn't want him to see where she lives. After another argument with Duckie, Andie and Blane walk out of the club. Andie then brings Blane to a local nightclub, where Iona is sitting with Duckie, who is hostile toward Blane. Blane brings Andie to Steff's house party, where Andie is mistreated by the rich partygoers. When Blane arrives, Duckie becomes upset and argues with Andie before storming off. Duckie enters and asks Andie to go out with him, but she ignores him. On the night of the date, Andie waits for Blane at TRAX, but he is late. Blane McDonough, one of the preppy boys and Steff's best friend, starts talking to Andie and eventually asks her out.

While working after school at a record store called TRAX, Andie starts talking about her school's senior prom to her manager, Iona, who advises Andie to go, despite not having a date. In school, Duckie and Andie, along with their friends, are harassed and bullied by the arrogant 'richie' kids, specifically Benny Hanson and her boyfriend, Steff McKee, who finds Andie attractive and secretly resents having been rejected by her. Andie's best friend, the outsider Phil 'Duckie' Dale is in love with her, but is afraid to tell her how he truly feels. High school senior Andie Walsh lives with her underemployed working-class father, Jack, in a Chicago suburb.
