Trent and Jane's party by Jane (hello_kitty_28@yahoo.com) Part one: The picnic (Daria and Jane on the phone) DARIA: Hello? JANE: Yo Daria... DARIA: Hey Jane. JANE: Do you want to come to a picnic with Jesse, Trent and I? DARIA: Hmmm...Okay... JANE: We'll take you in ten minutes. Oh... we already made the lunch, don't worry for that. Take what you need, don't bring any food... Okay? DARIA: K... That's nice... thanks... JANE: okay, bye. DARIA: Ciao. (Daria goes downstairs and prepares her things. Ten minutes later, Trent stops the car in front of Daria's house. Jane walks to the door and rings the doorbell. Daria walks to the door with a "big smile" (big means a little bigger than usual.) on her face. As she opens the door, she tries to hide her smile and finally return to her usual expressionless face.) DARIA: Oh, hey Jane. JANE: Hey Daria... How are you feeling to go to a picnic with Trent? DARIA: Just shut up Jane... JANE: I know you like him... don't lie... DARIA: No... (though: LIAR!) That's not true. JANE: (with a big smile) Oh yeah... That's what you say... DARIA: Go to hell... (They walk to the car and sit in it.) TRENT: (Trent looks at Daria and smiles to her) Hellooo Daria...How are you today? DARIA: Hey...fine...Hi Jesse... JESSE: Hey Daria... Jane, there's a new little restaurant not very far, we could go there one night (whispers) and it's a date... JANE: (smiling to him) That's a great idea... Count me in... TRENT: Oh... another date. Jane, you really want to let Daria alone one evening? Did you fall on your head? Are you sick? (He smiles at Jane as she glares at him) DARIA: (Daria smile and try not to laugh) What do you want, she likes to make torture to me... I will stay at home with my "Mommy, Daddy and, best of all, my little and favorite sister, Quinn! JANE: So sorry Daria... (And she starts laughing. At Trent.) Why don't you ask Daria to go out with you when we'll go??? TRENT: (looks embarrassed) I'll think about it Janey... JANE: It would be nice from you... Oh, where are we going for the picnic? JESSE: We were thinking about a little park that we know; it's not very far of here. (Cut to the park where they are all sit on the ground and are all eating.) JANE: Daria, what are you doing on Friday night? DARIA: Nothing, I guess, why? TRENT: She was wondering if you could go to my party... JANE: Sorry brother but it's OUR party... TRENT: Oh yeah, sorry Janey... So will you come Daria...? Please... Er...Do it for Janey!!! DARIA: Hmmm... Okay...I'll go... TRENT: THANKS... (Everybody looks at him; he blushes) Huh... I'm sure Jane wanted to thank you... Didn't you Janey? JANE: Nope... she already knows it... (Trent looks very embarrassed) Daria, will you come by yourself or I have to ask to me brother if he don't mind to give you a ride? DARIA: I don't know... I think I'll wa... TRENT: I'll take her Janey... Does it sound okay Daria? I will take you at 8... DARIA: Huh...That's alright!!! (They take their things and drive home. Trent stops the car in front of the Morgendorffer's residence.) JANE: Bye, see ya soon... DARIA: Yeah... in an hour... (Daria smiles) TRENT: Bye Daria... See you on Friday night... or before, if I don't sleep... DARIA: (smiles) Yeah, I'll see ya... Bye Jesse... JESSE: Good bye... (Trent drive Jesse home and drive at Jane and his own house.) (Cut to the Morgendorffer's house) (Daria takes off her clothes, then looks at her quickly in the bathroom's mirror. (though: How would Trent love you? You are so... What am I thinking about? You have such a low self-esteem Daria!!!) She opens the shower's door and walks under the shower. She starts washing herself and then, sits down and starts to cry. A tear drops from her cheek and falls onto the shower's floor. (though: You are so stupid Daria... How could Trent love you? Stop dreaming...) She finally stops crying. She stops the shower and gets dressed. She puts on jeans and a nice dark-blue T-shirt. She goes in her bedroom when the phone rings.) DARIA: Hello? JANE: Yo... How do you do? DARIA: I'm fine Jane, and you? JANE: I'm fine, but I'm not sure you are okay... DARIA: Why do you say that? JANE: You look like you are in another planet... You seem to be sad Daria... DARIA: I'm not... I'm all right, I told you... JANE: Please Daria... tell me the truth for once please... I think I know what's wrong with you... It is because of your low-esteem that you are like this... I'm sure that Trent is involved with it too... Am I wrong Daria? (Daria don't answer at all) I knew it Daria; I just knew it... DARIA: Don't make fun at me... please Jane... I really don't like this at all tonight... At all... JANE: I am not making fun at you... Daria... you know what I am thinking about? I think that you should tell Trent about how you feel... DARIA: Shut the hell up Jane... Please... I don't feel like you tell me this either... okay? JANE: Okay... Do you want to come watching "Sick Sad World" over my house? DARIA: Okay... I'm going... Ciao... JANE: Bye... (Daria walks to go at the Lane's house. Arrived there, she knocks on the door. Trent opens it.) TRENT: Oh, Hey Daria... (he smiles at her) DARIA: (she blushes) Hey... TRENT: How are you? DARIA: Not really good... TRENT: What's wrong? DARIA: Nothing really important... TRENT: You're sure? DARIA: Yeah... TRENT: I hope you'll be better soon! Oh... I was forgetting... huh... Jane is going on a date with Jesse tomorrow night, and I was kinda wondering if you would like to do a little something with me... maybe just, go to a movie or go eating somewhere? DARIA: (she smiles a little) sure... TRENT: So what do you want to do, see a movie or eat somewhere and talk? DARIA: I think I'll go for eating and talk... TRENT: K... I'll take you at 7... That's sounds okay for you? DARIA: Of course... (Daria smiles to Trent. He smiles back to her. She goes upstairs and knocks on the door. He looks at her go upstairs and goes back in his room when he can't see her anymore.) JANE: Come in Daria... (Jane is painting. Daria opens the door, then sits down on the bed.) Part two: Daria's date (Cut to Morgendorffer's residence.) Daria can't decide what to wear. She tries too many things. She can't take something in her clothes. DARIA: If only I had something different... (Quinn hears her sister, then enters in Daria's room...) QUINN: You look like you need to borrow something? Am I wrong Daria? DARIA: Go to hell... QUINN: Oh... sorry... I was just trying to help you for once, but if you don't need it... DARIA: Sorry Quinn... I'm worried because I have a date and... QUINN: You have a DATE??? DARIA: YES... QUINN: Oh... I see, and you want something to look well in... DARIA: If you wanna talk like this, it can be a good point... QUINN: Wait, I think I can help you... Wait a minute... (Quinn goes in her room, looks in her closet, takes something and goes back to Daria's room.) QUINN: I got just what you need. (She hands a little and very "short" blue T-shirt to Daria.) Oh... sorry, I have to go I have a date... Bye Daria... And Good Luck... (Daria looks at the blue T-shirt. (Though: Do Quinn really think I could wear this...) She tries it anyway. She looks in the mirror. (Though: I'm too fat to wear that thing...) At the same time, Trent arrived at Daria's home. He rings the doorbell... Quinn comes and answers it...) QUINN: Oh... you're Jane's brother right? Oh... you must be here for Daria! She's in her room; you can go upstairs... Oh... just one last thing... knock on the door, she is maybe getting dressed! TRENT: Okay... thanks for the "advice"... (Trent goes upstairs before anyone can see him.) (Cut to the kitchen where Helen and Jake finish to eat their lasagna...) HELEN: Quinn? Who was at the door? QUINN: Daria's date... HELEN: Oh... okay... (After a long time) What? Quinn, did you said Daria's DATE? QUINN: Yes mom... I have to go... I've got a date... (Quinn leave the room.) (Cut to Daria's room when someone knocks on the door. (Daria is still wearing the blue shirt) DARIA: You can come in... (Daria stay back to the door.) Oh... I think I'll give you back that T-shirt Quinn, I look very bad in it... TRENT: Sorry, it's not your sister... DARIA: (she turns to faces Trent.) Oh... sorry... I didn't know you were here yet! TRENT: That's okay! (He glances at Daria) You know, you don't look that bad in this shirt... DARIA: (she blushes) Thanks... (Though: He must just be trying to be nice with me...) TRENT: Huh... Are you ready? DARIA: Umm... I guess... TRENT: Let's go... (They walk to the door) (Cut to Trent's car) TRENT: Before we go, I need to know something. Where do you want to go? Or just tell me what you wanna eat... DARIA: I don't know... What do you wanna eat? TRENT: I don't know! I'm not really hungry... DARIA: Wow... that's a miracle! (She puts her hand on her mouth (though: I shouldn't have said that...)) TRENT: (laugh softly) Good one Daria... (She smiles) DARIA: You know, I'm not really hungry either. My mom forced me to eat my lasagna... TRENT: So what do you wanna do? DARIA: I don't know... TRENT: Wait, I've got an idea... but it's a surprise! DARIA: Why? Why do you want it to be a surprise??? TRENT: You'll see Daria... Don't ask now... (Though: I hope she will like my idea) (Cut to a little park at about 20 minutes in car from Daria's house.) (They got out of the car.) TRENT: Maybe it is not as far of Lawndale that we could go and maybe it's not a place very popular, but I like to come here when I need to think or just get away from the people I know. And maybe I just want to "share" this place...huh... with you!!! (He blushes and smiles at Daria who blushes herself.) Daria, do you think it's possible to a guy to fall in love with a girl younger than him, same if that girl is his sister's best-friend? DARIA: (she blushes) Why are you asking me that? (Though: what does he want to tell me? He loves me? He is too clever for that... it can't be the truth.) TRENT: (he blushes, then looks down) Huh... nothing... It was just a question like that... DARIA: (looking a little sad) Oh... I see... (She smiles) Trent? TRENT: Yes... DARIA: Do you think it's possible that a girl falls in love with a guy older than her, same if that guy is her best-friend's brother? TRENT: I guess...why? (He glances at her (Though: What is she saying? Or trying to say? Maybe that she likes me... No way... She is too clever to loves you, poor Trent!!!)) DARIA: I was trying to answer at your question... TRENT: (looking depressed or something) Oh...okay... thanks... DARIA: Huh... that's nothing! Trent? Do you always care about Jane's friend or I'm the only one that you don't like to see her alone? TRENT: (a little embarrassed) Umm... Actually, you are Janey's first real friend... I mean that no one of her ex-friend were caring about her like you do... It's normal to her big brother to care about her... and about her only real friend... DARIA: Love declaration by a guy to her sister next on "Sick Sad World"... (Trent laughs softly, then looks at Daria.) TRENT: Daria? DARIA: (she looks at him.) hmmm...? TRENT: huh... You're pretty cool... I mean... You are not like the other girls I know... DARIA: Huh, thanks... but I always knew I was not like people of my age... TRENT: I mean "all" the girls I know, not only girls of 16 years old... DARIA: Oh...(she blushes and looks down) (Cut to the restaurant where Jane and Jesse are eating some slices of pizza.) JANE: Where do you think that Trent and Daria are right now? JESSE: I dunno! Maybe at your house where they could talk, or in a little restaurant where they can... talk too...or I don't know... What do you think about that? JANE: I dunno either... why do you think I asked that? JESSE: Oh... sorry...(He starts to kiss her and kiss her and kiss her...) (Cut to Trent's car, around 11:00(PM) when he drives Daria home.) TRENT: Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed your company during this evening... DARIA: Oh... That was nothing... What else did you want me to do? TRENT: Huh... you're right... (He stops the car, then goes out of it to walk Daria to the door...) DARIA: Thanks... for... "Take me away" from my family... TRENT: Really that was nothing, it should happen more often... I had a lot of fun talking with you... DARIA: Yeah... me too! (He puts his arms around her to hug her and, without wanted it, he puts his hands on Daria's skin, in the bottom of her back.) TRENT: Oh... sorry Daria...(but he doesn't put his hands away... She blushes. Trent looks at her.)(softly) Daria... DARIA: (she glances at him) hmmm? (Trent pulls her closer and kisses her. Daria kisses him back and puts her arms around him. They stop kissing each other. Suddenly Helen opens the door.) HELEN: Daria, what the hell are you doing out at this hour? (She looks at Trent) Oh, you are the brother of that Jen? TRENT & DARIA: Jane... HELEN: Yeah... Jane... TRENT: I was just driving Daria home... HELEN: Where is your sister? TRENT: Oh... she is sleeping at home... She was not feeling very well... HELEN: Oh... the poor girl... Is she alone? TRENT: No, my best-friend or, in other way, her boyfriend is with her, she's gonna be alright... HELEN: Okay... Daria... come on in... TRENT: Bye Daria... See ya Friday... DARIA: Yes, see you on Friday... (Cut to the Morgendorffer living room.) HELEN: How was your date Daria? DARIA: Fine... can I go to bed now? HELEN: Okay... we'll talk about it tomorrow morning? DARIA: G'night Mom... HELEN: Good night sweetie... (Cut to Daria's room. Daria is lying on her bed and is thinking...) DARIA: (Though: Wow... I have a boyfriend... The guy I really love and care about kissed me... Oh my god I become crazy and I'm even just thinking about it...) (Daria falls asleep.) Part 3 – The "road trip" (Cut to the Morgendorffer living room the next day. The phone rings. Quinn runs to it.) QUINN: Hello? TRENT: Can I talk to Daria please? QUINN: Wait a minute...(to Daria.) DARIA... someone wants to talk to you on the phone. It's that guy... your date of yesterday... DARIA: Give me that phone... (To Trent) Hey... TRENT: Hi, what were you doing? DARIA: Nothing...why? TRENT: Jesse, Janey and I were going on a little "road trip" for the day. We are going at a beach at about 2 hours from here... Do you want to come? DARIA: Sure... TRENT: We'll take you in 15 minutes... I love you... DARIA: I love you too... (Cut to see Jane arrived in Trent's back...) JANE: Trent, who the hell are you talking with? Who come with us to the beach? You have a new girlfriend? You forgot how much you like Daria? TRENT: Can I finish my conversation? Wait a minute Jane... Hey, I'm back... DARIA: Okay, I'll take my things and wait for you... Bye... TRENT: Yes... Bye... We won't be long... (Trent takes Jane's arm and pulls her to the tank. They sit and drive to Jesse's house. Trent stops the van and go outside. Jesse walks out of his house and goes talk to Trent.) TRENT: Hey Jesse... I let you drive if you want to... of course... JESSE: Sure man... but what's wrong with you? You never let anyone drive the tank...(Trent glares at Jesse. They sit in the tank.) TRENT: (whisper) Jesse... drive to Daria' home okay, but don't tell it to Jane... I want it to be a surprise to her... JESSE: Okay...(Jesse drives to the Morgendorffer's residence. He stops in front of the house. Daria come out and walks to the tank.) DARIA: Hey guys... JANE & JESSE: Hey Daria... TRENT: Hey Daria... (He takes her by her hand and kisses her. Jane and Jesse look at him in surprise.) JANE: They told each other their true feeling? JESSE: I guess... Everybody's ready? (He looks at Jane) JANE: Yes... (Then, looks at Trent and Daria in the back. They are still kissing.) TRENT: Mmm...Mmm... (Between two kisses) We're... (Between two other kisses)...ready! (Jesse starts driving.) (Cut an hour later.) JESSE: Somebody's hungry? JANE: Yes... I'm hungry... And the too lovers? Are you hungry? DARIA: Yes I am... (She shakes Trent) Trent? Trent? TRENT? TRENT: Huh? What? Oh... hey Daria... (He smiles to her.) DARIA: Hey... Are you hungry? TRENT: Huh. Yes... (Jesse stops the car in front of a little restaurant.) (Cut to the restaurant where they are sit at a table and eating. (Daria is not eating lasagna.)) JANE: So when did you two tell each other? I wanna hear the whole story... TRENT: Yesterday... JANE: I said the WHOLE story... DARIA: Trent took me out. When we return, in front of my house at about 11:00PM Trent hugged me and kissed me and that's all... JANE: You did that? How? What's happened with you? Did you become crazy? TRENT: Shut up Janey... (He glares at her. Immediately, she starts to laugh.) TRENT: Hey... Why are you laughing? (Before she answers anything, Jesse starts to kiss her.) (Cut to the tank where Jesse and Jane are kissing in the back. Trent is driving and Daria is listening to him as he talks.) TRENT: Do you think they will stop kissing each other before we arrived at the beach? You know what Daria? I really love you... I mean that you're not like the girls I know. I know that you listen to me when I talk... Like right now! You don't talk but I know you listen to me... Even when I try to talk to Jane... except when I was talking about you... I'm never sure if she listen to me... I just love you, as you are Daria... DARIA: I love you too Trent... JANE: Oh... what's that... Trent I really thank you for what you said about me... You know... same if you don't talk to me... I hear... TRENT: Sorry Janey... (Cut to the beach where they find a perfect place to sit. They put their towels on the sand and open one umbrella. Jane takes off her clothes and jumps in the water. Jesse follows her. Daria and Trent sit down on their towel for some time.) TRENT: When do you wanna go? DARIA: I don't know! I don't go if I'll go... TRENT: Please, do it for me! DARIA: Okay... but first, I need to change my clothes... TRENT: Okay... I'll wait for you... DARIA: I'll be back... (Daria gets up and start walking. Trent looks at her, then lie down and falls asleep.) (Cut to the bathroom. Daria takes out a black bikini of her bag. She puts it on.) DARIA: (though: I feel so weird wearing that...) (She comes out the little bathroom and looks at her in the mirror.) (Though: I'm too fat to wear that.) (She walks in Trent direction still asleep on his towel. Jane runs to him with some water in a glass then let the water falls on him. Trent wakes up and starts screaming to Jane. Daria laugh a little. A guy comes to her and pulls her by her arm.) DARIA: Hey... let me alone... GUY: Why... a beautiful chick like you should have a boyfriend! Come with me in my car and you'll see... I have a lot more to offer that I show right now... DARIA: LET ME ALONE... (Trent hears Daria screaming. He gets up and runs to her.) DARIA: HEY PUTS YOUR HAND OFF ME AND LET ME ALONE... TRENT: You didn't hear her? Let her alone... (The guy is still touching Daria's breast. Trent becomes very angry.) TRENT: TAKE YOUR DIRTY HAND OFF MY GIRLFRIEND NOW... GUY: Oh... Because that beautiful chick is the girlfriend of a guy like you... I don't believe it... (He starts touching Daria again...) DARIA: Let me go... Don't touch me... JESSE... JANE... HELP... (Jane and Jesse hear Daria's scream and start running in her direction...) GUY: Oh... another cute chick... Thanks to call your friend baby... (Jesse kisses Jane...) GUY: Oh... she is taken... I'll keep you anyway... (Trent, very mad, closes his eyes, then opens them. He takes a good breath and hit the guy. The guy who looks very strong falls on the ground and shows how he really is. He is not very solid. Trent takes Daria in his arms to protect her. The big guy gets up...) GUY: Okay... you won... (To Daria) but don't think I will forget you... baby... (He walks off. Jesse, Jane, Trent and Daria all comes back to their towels. Trent puts some sunscreen on Daria's back. He softly hugs her. She sits down on Trent's legs. She puts herself some sunscreen on her arms and legs.) (Cut to the tank at 8:00(PM). Trent is driving and Daria is sleeping. Jesse and Jane are still kissing in the back.) (Cut an hour later. Trent stops the car in the parking of a little restaurant. ) TRENT: Jesse... it's your turn to drive... I'm really tired and I'm really scared to kill everyone if I fall asleep as I'm driving... JESSE: Just say that you want to be in the back with Daria... I understand that. (Jesse and Jane sit down in the front of the car... Trent and Daria sits on the loveseat in the back. Both of them fall asleep. Daria's head is on Trent's shoulder.) JANE: Oh... aren't they cute? JESSE: Yeah... They are very cute. Part 4 – The party (Cut to Daria's room. She talking on the phone...) DARIA: Jane I told you I don't know what to wear... I don't have anything except my usual clothes and you ask me to wear something else. JANE: You're a liar! DARIA: What??? JANE: My dear brother Trent told me how you were dressed on your date and it doesn't fit what you said... DARIA: It's Quinn's shirt... JANE: Oh... because you borrow Quinn's clothes now? DARIA: Shut up... I didn't want to wear it but Trent said he liked it... JANE: Oh... you do it for my dear brother... DARIA: Shut the hell up Jane... TRENT: (offscreen) Yeah Janey... Stop bothering Daria... Oh... and tell her that I love her... JANE: Hey Trent! You wanna talk to her? TRENT: 'Kay... (Pick the phone) Hey Daria... DARIA: Hey... TRENT: I just wanted Jane to tell you that I love you but... anyway... I love you... DARIA: Me too... JANE: (offscreen) Oh... isn't it cute... TRENT: Shut up Janey... I have to go... see ya "Honey"... DARIA: (smiles) Bye (Trent hands the phone to Jane.) JANE: Hey... Oh... cute nickname "Honey" DARIA: (at the same time than Trent) Shut up Jane... TRENT: (at the same time than Daria) Shut up Janey... (Cut to the Lane's house when the doorbell ring. Jane opens it to find a weird-looking Daria. She's wearing contact, she's wearing a green skirt and a black little T-shirt and her hair are separated in the middle of her head.) JANE: (not really looking at Daria) Yeah... Who are you? Trent's guest? Or someone else guest? DARIA: Jane's best friend, Trent's girlfriend and a Mystik Spirals' Fan... JANE: Daria? Wow... You look great... Where are your glasses? Where did you get those clothes? Borrow Quinn's? DARIA: No... Shut up... TRENT: Jane can you call Daria? I have to know when to go take her! (To Daria) Oh... Hey! (To Jane) A new friend of your... (Daria and Jane laugh a little) JANE: Yeah... this is my brother Trent... Trent, this is my new best friend...Daria Morgendorffer... TRENT: New best friend? What about Da... Daria? Wow... I'm sorry! I didn't recognized you... (Cut to 3 hours later... Jane and Jesse are STILL Kissing, Daria and Trent talk and kiss and all the guest are laughing and talking...) DARIA: Trent? I love you... TRENT: Me too. (They kiss...) Daria? You want to go out of this a little? DARIA: Yeah... (Trent takes Daria's hand and leads to his bedroom. He closes the door behind them. They sit on the bed and start kissing again. (-I hope you don't expect me to put sex in my story! Sorry... I'm not that kind of writer. -) Trent takes his guitar and starts singing something he just wrote a few days ago... A ballad he wrote for his new girlfriend.) (Cut 2 hours later. All guests are gone. Trent, Jane, Jesse and Daria are watching the mess...) (Cut to 1 hours later... They finish their clean up.) JANE: Oh God... who had the idea to invite Upchuck... He was a real jerk. He didn't stops interrupting Jesse and I... DARIA: I guess nobody... in us... invited him... JESSE & TRENT: No... Daria's right... JANE: I hope so... The end...
