fardell24Party at 111 Howard – Part 2
Daria and Jane left the Morgendorffer's house at 5:00. “So, what did Trent say?” Daria asked.
“The Spiral will be there at 5:30,” Jane answered.
“Why do I get the feeling that maybe having an early twenties punk band at a Sweet Sixteen party is a bad idea.”
“I don't think so.”
“I hope you're right,” Daria said. As they left they heard the sound of Quinn rifling through her overly stuffed closet.
“Where is that cute shirt?” Quinn asked. She wanted to wear something other than her usual look. Something that would make Sandi jealous, but also not make Stacy panic at the sight of. Quite difficult, but she was certain she would do it. As for Tiffany, she was easy enough to please. She put aside the thoughts of concern for her as she continued to search.
Soon, she found a shirt that was particularly cute. It was perfect! But then the thoughts of concern for Tiffany came back. She wasn't sure what she was going to do about it.
Casa Lane, the ground zero for the chaos that was going to occur later that night, was empty when Jane and her amiga arrived. “We better get started.”
“Yes,” Daria stated. “How much food have you got?”
“Enough for the band to gorge themselves and throw up,” Jane said. She paused. “If they wanted to, that is.”
“And us?” Daria asked.
“Enough for us to, alongside the band,” Jane said as she entered the kitchen. Soon, she was putting out the food. There was more than Daria expected.
“Jane, that is more than enough for us and the band,” she said. “How did you afford it all.”
“Oh, Dani bought most of it,” Jane said nonchalantly.
Daria was surprised “Jesse's sister? She's coming too?”
“Yes, she is. She's a nice girl.”
Daria wasn't sure. They hadn't really interacted as of yet. “So... us, the Spiral and their groupie. Anyone else?”
“Well, any of the Wandering Lanes but that is fairly slim,” Jane answered. She then frowned. “I did tell Ms. Defoe. She might drop by.”
“The list is getting longer...” Daria said with an annoyed tone.
Jane saw the slight annoyance on her friend's face. “Relax, there isn't anyone else.”
Jane and Daria had finished putting out the food when they heard Mystik Spiral arrive. “Hey, Janie,” Trent said.
“So, where you going to set up?” Jane asked.
“Either in the basement or in the Gazebo,” Trent answered.
“The Gazebo sounds good,” Jane said.
“The Gazebo it is then. We'll be ready for the first set in an hour.”
Trent left the kitchen, but Dani Moreno then came in. She was younger than her brother, but older than Daria and Jane. She was about their height, slim with close cropped hair. “Hi,” Jane said.
“Hi Jane,” she said quietly. “You must be Daria.”
“Yes, I'm Daria.”
“I've heard a lot about you,” Dani said
“What have you heard?” Daria asked.
“That you're very principled and stick up for what you believe in,” Dani asked.
Daria had to agree, that was a quite accurate description of her.
Quinn arrived at the Blum-Deckler house at the same time as Stacy, approaching from different directions.
“Quinn!” Stacy called out. “You look cute!”
“Thanks!” Quinn said, but then looked serious. “Stacy, do you think something is up with Tiffany?”
“No,” Stacy said. She reconsidered. “You mean how she's been asking that question more often?”
“Yes,” Quinn answered quietly.
“There's not much I can do about it,” Stacy said.
“Nor I, but we need to help her if she asks for it.”
“This is Tiffany we're talking about, she hardly asks for help!”
'She has asked me from time to time,' Quinn thought. There was now something else to worry about, why Tiffany wouldn't ask Stacy for help. “Let's go in,” she said, seeing that Stacy was showing the warning signs of one of her anxiety attacks.
“Sure,” Stacy said, starting to calm down. Quinn could tell she was still thinking about what she had said about Tiffany though.
Daria was watching Mystik Spiral set up in the Gazebo from the kitchen, when she heard a knock at the door. “Who could that be?” she asked.
She opened the door. “Jodie?”
“Mack said that there was a party in Howard Drive this evening...”
“How did he find outt?” Daria asked.
“He found out from Kevin, who found out from Brittany.”
“I see,” Daria said, resigned to the fact that Jodie and Mack at least would be coming.
“Jane is getting ready, right?”
“She's helping her brother's band set up,” Daria answered.
“I'll warn her that Kevin and Brittany may be coming.”
“So, you're staying?”
“Yes, Mack will be here in less than fifteen minutes,” Jodie answered.
“Great!” Daria groused. 'What are the chances of there being another party in this street tonight?'
Jane was surprised when she saw Jodie come out of the house. “What are you doing here?” she asked.
“A heads up. Brittany knows about your party. She told Kevin and he told Mack.”
“Oh!” Jane said. “I didn't tell Brittany! I might have mentioned it in passing to a few fellow unpopular students...”
“What's up, Janie?” Trent asked as he plugged his guitar into the amplifier.
“There may be more people coming,” Jane said.
“We can handle that,” Trent said. He looked to his bandmates.
“No problem,” Jesse said.
“See?” Trent asked.
“I know you can,” Jane said.
Daria and Jane left the Morgendorffer's house at 5:00. “So, what did Trent say?” Daria asked.
