All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl

It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than you know now
So don't tell me to shut my eyes
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
But if you look at me closely
You will see it in my eyes
This girl will always find her way
I'm not a girl) I'm not a girl, don't tell me what to believe
(Not yet a woman) I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah
(All I need is time) Oh, all I need is time
(A moment that is mine) That's mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman, no no
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl, ooh
Not yet a woman
(The crowd cheers)

didn't put our future in it.. we put our past.. None of us has no idea where life will take us
but one thing we know.. what we have is now.. and right now.. we have each other
(The girls bury the box and walk away laughing)
________________________________________________________________________
Hey! hope you likes it this is my first fanfic! I know that Daria was way out of character
and do was Jodie but thats the price you pay when you do a crossover right? It was
painful for me because i don't like to pair Daria up with Trent (I'm a Daria/ Tom shipper
kind of gal) but i couldn't think of any other character to play that part. So if you have
seen Crossroads you'll know what i meant. Anyways e-mail me and tell me what you
think of my first fanfic (I'm terrified lol!) Don't get mad at the characters not being
themself because i've read some fanfics and they had Daria so out of character so i'm not
the first! I promise my next fanfic will be oringinal!-
NOTES:
1. Evan was the guy Jane was interrested in "See Jane Run" he was a jerk though
2. In "Is it college yet?" Jodie picked an all black school Turner over a diverse school
Crestmore
3. This was based on the new movie Crossroads (although Jodie is more like
Lucy(Daria's part) Quinn is more like Kit(Jodie's part)
4.Check out "I love rock and roll" and "Not a girl not yet a woman" on britney Spears
new album
5. I couldn't put Quinn, Helen, The fashion club or Brittinay in it because there was no
place for them, sorry! in my next fanfic, they'll be in it!
______________________________________________________________________
Ok, so thats my fanfic! they will be more to come!
