Ashley Small & Ashlee Tall: Best Friends Forever?

Opposites go together. Just ask Ashley Sanchez (Ash) and Ashlee Taylor (Lee), who have been best friends forever. Ash is messy as can be, and Lee likes things neat and tidy. Ash loves sports and Lee prefers dance. Ash doesn’t like chocolate, but Lee could eat it all day long. Ever since they were born, Ash and Lee have lived in the same apartment building, just across the hall from each other, but now that’s about to change. When Lee moves a few blocks away, will the two girls find a way to stay best friends forever?
