Trent: Wow, that makes for a good song, I've got inspiration, Cya Daria, Cya Janey Jane: Him and his inspiration already, out of one sentence, oh wait, it was YOU that inspired him. Daria: Now that I've done the Girl Scout thing and I've done a good deed, how about we go to Pizza King? Jane: Nah, No money Daria: How about we go watch Trent be "inspired"? (thinks: why did I just say that?) Jane: Oh yeah, lets direct all plans to Trent why don't we?!? Daria: HEY!! Just because Tom isn't here doesn't mean you can batter me around!

Trent: Here they come finally! Daria: Jeez, what took so long, we've been sitting out here for almost an hour. Jane: Well you know, I have a lot to tell him, I haven't seen him in, what? Daria: Two days? Jane: No about two weeks, I've been so busy lately Tom: So have I. Elsie just had her prom and I had no choice but to take her shopping while the folks were golfing again, and they were busy at the club and all so all I did was shop. Jane: Really? Daria: (to Trent) I wonder how many dresses HE tried on. Trent: (laughs/coughs) your funny Daria. Daria: (smiles) (Daria Just smiles and starts to listen to the back seat, Jane and Tom seem quite busy kissing and Daria notices they start to plan something but ignores it) Scene: In Jane's bedroom Daria: Hey Romeo and Juliet? What was with the back seat thing? Jane: What, you've never seen us kiss before? Daria: Not that! You guys look like you were planning something! Jane: We weren't, I promise, now, um, Romeo, can you go out there with Trent so I can talk to Daria in private please? Tom: OK, um, I guess. (tom exits) Jane: Here Daria, Try this on. (Hands her a slinky black dress and a pair of really big high heels that tie up her legs.) Daria: Are you trying to make me out to be a Spice Girl? Jane: No, Tom was gonna take me to Chez Pierre and he wanted me to invite you and have you bring a date. Daria: Meet my date, say hi to my imaginary friend. Jane: How about Trent? Daria: He doesn't seem like one to do fancy resturaunts Jane: He will if I ask him too, now are you gonna try that on or not? Daria: You need to leave the room first. Jane: Will do. (she exits and goes down stairs) Daria: (thinks: I cant believe I'm doing this) Damn dress, stupid high heels. (she takes off her skirt and shirts until she is standing there in her bra and underwear, all of a sudden she has a rude awakening) Trent:(knocks then opens the door) Hey Janey, I left my guitar pick in, hello there Daria, here and I was wondering if, DARIA! What are you doing?!?!?! Daria: Being freaked out by you staring at me in my bra and underwear and I was in the middle of trying something on. Trent: Can I stay? Daria: (thinks: did he just say that?) Um, if you want, whatever sinks your boat. (she puts on the dress and starts putting on the heels, when she is done, she wobbles over to Trent.) Daria: Can you zip this for me? Trent: Sure but since when do you wear dresses? Daria: Since Jane is making me, now how do I look? Trent: (thinks: absolutely beautiful) You look good, make that very pretty, now take off your glasses and come here. (she proceeds) Trent: Now sit on my lap (she does so in disbelief) Trent: Now you look ABSOLUTELY beautiful. (they start to talk when Jane walks in on the two of them, Daria was still on his lap.) Jane: Oh my God. Daria you look beautiful in that dress, on Trent's lap! Trent you do like her! Trent: How do you figure, you sit on my lap and I don't like you! Jane: You sat in here while she changed Trent: I was looking for my guitar pick Jane: I was just in your room, its in your candy dish. Trent: Why were you in my room when I'm not in there? Jane: I wanted a piece of bubble gum. (she laughs and walks away) Daria: That sucked. Trent: No not really, now I don't have to hide it around her Daria: Yes you do, your her brother and I'm her best friend. Trent: So your point is? Daria: I bet that doesn't look right to her Trent: She's an artist, everything looks right to her. (Daria smiles) Daria: Trent? Could you escort me out of the room, I can't walk in these things! Trent: Sure. (he escorts her out of the room to the basement where the two lovebirds are having a kissing fest) Daria: So Jane do you have any spit left in your body or is it all in his? Jane: Haha funny. Now what does everyone think of Daria in that dress? Trent: Cool Tom: Eh Jane: It gives her a figure Daria: I think its horrible, the fashion club is going to arrest me. Jane: Come on Daria, lighten up! (Daria and Jane Go back upstairs) Jane: Did he really sit here and watch you? Daria: Yeah, so Jane: he must like you Daria: I doubt it Jane: I don't (this made Daria think, meanwhile Trent and Tom come into Jane's room to join them) Trent: Hey girls. Daria: Hey again Jane: yo, well I need to talk to you Trent, come out here with me please. Trent: Sure Janey Jane: Tom was gonna take me to Chez Pierre, I was gonna take Daria, but she doesn't have a date so would you take her? I'm sure you have a good suit somewhere, that is if you want to go. Trent: I'll go, it sounds cool, thanks Janey Jane: Cool, thanks Trent. (Later in Jane's room) Jane: Daria? Daria: Yes Jane? Jane: Trent will go with you Daria: You asked him? Jane: Yep Daria: Thanks Jane: See! Your welcome! (Two Days later, in Jane's room) Jane: Try this red dress on, hurry up too, we have almost no time now, Tom will be here shortly. (Daria tried on a red oriental dress with red pumps) Daria: I like the black dress better Jane: It's in the wash, try this one (she hands her a baby blue dress and silver stilettos) Daria: You'd look better in this Jane: Here is the last one (She hands her a sparkly navy blue dress with navy high heels, just like the black ones that tie up her legs) Daria: I like this one. Jane: Good, then that's the one you'll wear, now for make-up Daria: I don't wear make-up Jane: At least contacts, mascara and lipstick Daria: Contacts, lipstick, that's it. Jane: I should be lucky, this isn't like you. Daria: I would never think you would wear that, and who would have thought you'd have so many dresses! (Jane was wearing an opal colored dress with clear stilettos and a lot of make-up, she looks good too, Daria finishes up as the doorbell rings and Jane answers) Jane: Hey babe Tom: Hey lets go Jane: COME ON DARIA!! THERE HERE! (Daria practically throws herself down the stairs and since Jane and Tom are in the tank, Daria yelled for Trent) Daria: TRENT, TRENT!!! COME HERE FOR A SEC!! Trent: COMING!! (Trent runs down the path) Daria: I know this sounds ridiculous but since they are sucking face they wont notice, can you carry me down the path, my ankles are gonna break! (Trent scoops up Daria and carries her to the tank) Daria: Thanks Trent: Your welcome (Later at the restaurant) Jane: So, who's ordering what? Daria: I'll order a raisin and it will still cost me $75.00 (they all laugh except Daria) Trent: I'll have a chicken sandwhich Tom: I'll split a plate of spaghetti with you Jane, if you want it. Daria: Oh God, Lady and the Tramp, fancy French restaurant, spaghetti, kissing scenes, it makes me sick! Jane: You want a kissing scene? Daria/Trent: Shut up Jane! Jane: Ah the pleasant sound of unison. Daria: Lets just eat and get out of here, I'm really tired. (Later after they all eat they are back at Jane's house in the basement, Daria and Jane get comfortable and relax with the boys) Jane: So Daria, how was your night? Daria: OK, I guess Jane: Want some comfy pants? Daria: I hate to agree but yeah (Jane takes a quick run upstairs, grabs a pair of gray sweat pants, they hear a thunk, then Tom runs upstairs) Daria: Wanna watch some TV Trent?

Trent: Sleep? Daria: Good idea. Trent: What about the pants you were gonna put on? Daria: She's busy with Tom Trent: Oh OK Daria: Now for that nap (Daria rolls over so her back is against Trents and instantly falls asleep, Jane and Tom rush down the stairs with handcuffs and feet shackles and tie them together) Scene: The basement, the next morning (Daria wakes up almost all the way on top of Trent) Daria: Good morning, um, Trent.
