Excerpt from: Quinn's Code (Daria AU) 13: A Night at Kristen's

“Cool,” Quinn said. They took out the matresses and placed them in the middle of the room. Stacy placed hers close to the door to the balcony. Quinn placed hers close to the computer and entertainment setup.


“Cool,” Kristen said once they had set up. “Let's go back down.”

“Sure,” Cindy said.


When they had come down the stairs, Krista and Kristens's brother Keith were setting the table. “Dinner is almost ready,” Krista said.

Cindy smiled. “Cool,” she said.

“Is that all you have to say?” Stacy asked.

“Just wait until you taste it,” Cindy said. “Ms. Bell is a great cook!”

“I could have been a chef,” Krista said.

“I'll wait until I taste it,” Stacy said.

“Same here,” Quinn said.

Krista just responded with a smile.


Soon the dinner was ready.

Kristen and Keith sat on one side, with a space between them for Kelly who had not yet come home. Cindy, Quinn and Stacy sat on the other. Krista and her husband sat at the ends.

“You have called Kelly?” Krista asked, once they had all sat down.

“I have, the call went through to voicemail,” her husband, Ken, said.

“I don't know why she is so troublesome!” Krista said.

“I don't know either,” Kristen said.

“Nor I,” Keith said.

“She should be home later,” Krista said. She looked at her husband, who said grace.

They then began to eat.


“So, what do you plan to do tonight?” Krista asked.

“We'll watch a couple of movies. Then talk about the upcoming week,” Kristen said.

“Get to know Stacy better,” Cindy said.

“Yeah,” Stacy said, quietly. Louder she said. “Get to know them better.”

Krista smiled. “That's a good plan,” she said.


After dinner, the four friends went back up to Kristen's room.

“So, which movies do we have to watch?” Stacy asked as she entered after the others.

“I have quite a few, although most of them are still on VHS,” Kristen answered.

“Let's look at the DVDs first,” Quinn suggested.

“Sure,” Kristen said.

They looked at Kristen's DVDs and VHS tapes, and quickly found some movies. The first one theyd decided to watch was an anime; Who can see the Future?

As they watched it they discussed the themes of the film.


“That was cool!” Quinn said, when the credits started rolling. “Though I hadn't heard of it.”

“It is fairly obscure,” Kristen said.

“It must be if I hadn't heard of it it,” Quinn said with an honest smile.

“I enjoyed it too,” Cindy said. “What's next?”

Kristen pulled a VHS tape out of the pile. “Muppet Treasure Island?” she asked.

“I haven't seen it,” Stacy admitted. “Is it good?”
