Day at the Water Park by Jane (hello_kitty_28@yahoo.com) (Cut to see Jane drawing in class. Suddenly, Miss Li enters the room. She looks at the teacher quickly and turns around to face the students.) LI: Okay. We'll have a trip to a water park next week. Find you a bathing suit and someone who can drive you there. (Then, she gives everyone a piece of paper and walks to the door.) (Cut to see Jane reading the paper: Dear student(s) of Lawndale high, This is a "letter" to tell you where to go and when to be there next week, for our trip to the Water Park. First... you HAVE to be there. If you don't, you'll get in very deep trouble... It will be Monday at 8:00. You HAVE to be there at 8:00AM. And it is at...) (Cut to see Daria deadpan looking at the paper.) DARIA: (thought: Don't tell me I'll have to show up in bathing suit in front of all my class and like I know Jane... in front of Trent!) (Cut to see Jane smiling.) JANE: (thought: Ah! A new way to... try to start a relationship... between those two... eh... humans!) DARIA: (thought: Ah damn... I do not have a bathing suit... and I cannot count on my mom to buy one, so I think I'll have to go with Ja... No... Jane will try to make me buy a bikini because Trent will be there... I'll have to go by myself then...) JANE: (turning to Daria) Hey, Daria... do you have a bathing suit? I don't... if you want... we can go to the mall together... DARIA: (thought: Damn!) hmmm... yeah... sure... (Cut to see Daria and Jane in a store. They both look at bathing suits.) JANE: Remember Daria... Trent will be there... you have to look pretty... (laughs, then spots a black bathing suit, takes it and show it to Daria) You think Jesse would like this on me? DARIA: (glances) yeah... sure... JANE: Ok... I have mine now... Now... we have to find yours! DARIA: (thought: NO!) hmmm... I know! JANE: (spots a little white bikini and hands it to Daria) Try this one... you'll be pretty... (smiles) DARIA: (glares) No way... there's no way that I'm going to wear that... eh... tiny thing in front of... ah... nevermind... (Cut to see Jane waiting in front a door. Daria opens the door... she wears a red bathing suit that doesn't fit on her. Jane looks at Daria with a look of disgust.) (Cut to see the door opening on a Daria wearing a black bathing suit with white lines that make her look good... but feel so uncomfortable...) (Cut to see Daria opening the door. She is wearing a yellow bathing suit that makes her look sick.) (Cut to see the door opening on Daria, looking beautiful in a white bikini with some weird black and dark green shapes. Jane glances at Daria.) JANE: You finally found something... DARIA: (deadpan, looking at herself in the mirror) Yeah... I guess I should believe you next time! But that doesn't mean I like to wear this... JANE: Ah come on Daria... that cannot be that bad!!! (Cut to see Daria sleeping that night. She dreams: DREAM: Daria is walking on a beach wearing her new bikini. She sits down on a towel. Trent arrives and sits beside her. Then, he takes sunscreen and puts it on Daria's back.) (Cut to see Daria awake, sitting on her bed) DARIA: What a strange dream! (Daria walks downstairs and goes to the kitchen. She finds some "cold" toasts on the table. She throws them in the garbage. She walks to the fridge to find there is absolutely nothing to eat except some lasagna her dad made a week before. She closes the door and walks to the phone. She dials Jane's number.) JANE: Yo? DARIA: Hey Jane... what's new? JANE: Nothing... you? DARIA: I made a strange dream and there is nothing to eat here... JANE: Oh... I'm making pancakes for Trent and I... you can come eat breakfast with us if you want... I'm sure Trent will be able to give you some of his many pancakes to you... DARIA: yeah... sure... JANE: ok... bye... I'm waiting for you... DARIA: ok... bye... (They hang up.) (Cut to see Daria walking to Jane... When she arrives, she knocks on the door and Trent opens it.) TRENT: Oh... Hey Daria! Jane told me you'd come eat with us... DARIA: hmmm... hey Trent... TRENT: Oh... come inside! Don't stay outside... the breakfast is ready... (They enter the house. Daria follows Trent in the kitchen.) JANE: Hey Daria... have a seat... (Daria sits down at the table. Trent sits down beside her. Jane gives the pancakes and they start eating in silence. No one talks until Jane and Daria finish to eat.) JANE: Oh... tell me Daria... I'm sure you're excited about that day to the Water Park... come on... tell me the truth! DARIA: Ah... shut... TRENT: Shut up Janey... You know Daria hates school trips! (Jane smiles. Daria blushes.) (Cut to see Daria Monday morning. She comes out of her bedroom wearing her black skirt with her green shirt on her bikini, which we can't see. Daria made sure we couldn't see it. She walks in the kitchen and eats a light breakfast. Then, she hears a car stopping by the house. She takes her bag and walks to the door. She finds Jane standing on the front of the house wearing black shorts and a red T-shirt. They walk to the car and find Trent already asleep. Jesse is almost asleep in the back of the car. Jane pushes Daria for her to sit in the front, then she sits beside Jesse. Daria shakes Trent awake.) TRENT: HUH? I'm sorry mo... Oh... sorry Daria... I was dreaming my mom wanted to kill me because I fell asleep while I was working... You're ready to go? DARIA: hmmm... I'm not sure... I hate water parks... TRENT: Ah come Daria... try to have some fun with us today!!! DARIA: I'll try! TRENT: (smiles) you will... don't worry! (Cut to see the car stop in the parking of the Water Park. They get out of the car and walk to the place they had to meet the rest of the school.) BRITTANY: Oh Keviiiiiiii... that's sooo great that we could come here together... KEVIN: Oh yeah baby... (Cut to see Jane and Daria) DARIA: (imitating Brittany, but totally deadpan) Oh Janeyyyyyy... that is just sooooo great we could come here today!!! I can't keep my joy inside me! (Trent laughs at this, Daria blushes) JANE: (imitating Kevin making a dump face) Ohhhhhhh Daria... come in the toilet with me baby... (Jane, Daria, Trent and Jesse laugh at the joke. Suddenly, Upchuck arrives from behind Jane) UPCHUCK: Hello ladies!!! I just can't wait to see both of you in your... bathing suit! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrow!!!! JANE: In your dreams UpChuck! (Upchuck walks away. Miss Li arrives and search who's missing... Actually... no one...) MISS LI: Okay... now that I know that everyone is here... you can go have fun... but be here for 6:00 PM! (At this... all the students except Jane, Daria and the boys, starts to run. Daria, Jane, Trent and Jesse walk to the bathroom and change themselves. After ten minutes, Daria didn't come out. Jane walks in the bathroom) JANE: Daria? DARIA: What? JANE: You spent ten minutes in the bathroom... are you ok? DARIA: ah... yeah... JANE: Are you ready? DARIA: euh... no... JANE: Ah come on Daria... that bathing suit is looking really good on you... DARIA: Yeah right... JANE: Ah come on!!! (Daria gets out of the bathroom. She's wearing her bathing suit. Her hair is tied with a little bow and falls on her shoulders. Jane pushes her out of the bathroom. When the come outside, Trent's eyes widen, but he quickly hides his reaction. They walk to the pool. Once they are there, Jesse and Jane run and swim a lot farther. Trent looks at Daria.) TRENT: Daria? DARIA: huh? TRENT: What do you want to do now that Jane and Jesse are going to be running away from us all day long? DARIA: I don't know... you? TRENT: I don't know... Wanna take a walk on the beach? DARIA: Yeah... sure... (Cut to see Trent and Daria walking on the beach. They are alone.) DARIA: Seems like no one appreciates the nature around here... TRENT: But there are you... and me! DARIA: (smiles) yeah... I know! (Trent smiles and walks a bit slower, so Daria can not see what he's doing. He takes some sand in his hand) TRENT: Daria? DARIA: What? (She turns around. Trent throws her the sand.) AHHH! TRENT!!! (she looks at him... he has a huge smile... then, she starts running after him and throws sand at him. Then, he starts to throw sand at her again. A bit later, they sit down on the beach near of the water.) TRENT: Daria? Can I ask you personal questions? DARIA: It depends what! TRENT: Did you already have a boyfriend? DARIA: no... TRENT: Have you ever think of having one? DARIA: not really... TRENT: Why? DARIA: 'Cause guys think I'm too cynical. Look... I'm not what a guy would want as a girlfriend you know! I'm... TRENT: But you're the kind of girl... no... you are the girl I want as a girlfriend... you're pretty, smart, nice... you have everything... (Daria looks at him with a very surprised look. She is almost ready to cry. He takes her face in his hands and continues his questions...) And who would you want as your boyfriend? DARIA: you... (Trent looks at her and pulls her face and kisses her. She kisses him back.) TRENT: (whisper) I loved you for so long... but I was scared to tell you! I was scared that you'd repulse me. I knew you were Janey's best friend and I was scared that you were nice with me just cause I was Janey's brother! I... DARIA: Trent... I also loved you for sooo long... but I was afraid to tell you too cause I was scared to lose your friendship and I was scared that you would have think that I'm stupid... TRENT: You're not stupid... and I never thought that you were stupid and I'll never think that you are stupid... DARIA: Maybe... but I was scared... TRENT: I know... But I was stupid to hide my feelings for you... Look how much time it took us to be together... I missed your voice every time you weren't over my house... I missed your face almost all the time... I missed talking to you when you were not with me or when you were with Janey... DARIA: Oh Trent... stop this... you'll make me cry... TRENT: cry? DARIA: of joy Trent... of joy... (Trent answers by a smile, Daria smiles back.) (Cut to see Jane and Jesse sitting in front of the car. Trent and Daria are sitting in the back, close together. The car stops in front of Daria's house) TRENT: Bye sweet... see you tomorrow! (kisses her) DARIA: Yeah... (kisses him back) Bye! (she gets out of the car. Jane looks at Trent) JANE: Awww... that's so cute... The end...
