Excerpt from: Doctor Who – Season 8.5
“So, what are we going to do?”

“Something more drastic.”

“You mean move the books from the surrounding shelves?” TJ asked.

“That would be a start. But we will have to be very careful!”
“Of course!”

“Let’s start then,” TJ said.


In the meantime, Shona was looking through a stack of books she had collected. She found something. “The tree disappeared with the sound of several thunders.”

He then paused.

“So, no?” Journey said with disappointment.

“I’m thinking.”

“Oh.”

The Doctor soon made his decision. “You can come.”

“Yes!” Journey exclaimed.

Excerpt from: Adventure at Space Station Dubbo
It wasn’t just Elizabeth. It was mystery to her why she was assigned to the station. ‘Something is up,’ she thought, as she grabbed a book which lay on the bedside table.

Having read a few Psalms she began preparing for the day ahead, but her mind went back to the quandary of Elizabeth. ‘I have no idea at the moment, but I will find out.’


Elizabeth entered the Cafeteria. She saw that Europa was already there and ready for the day. ‘Of course she is,’ she thought. ‘Part of that ‘wholesome’ image she projects.’ She was sure that was an act. ‘Of course she’s up to something with what we did last night.’ She decided to annoy the other girl by sitting at her table.


“Elizabeth?” Europa asked as the other girl sat at her table.

“I thought I would join you.”

“Why?”

Elizabeth shrugged.

“Fine, but remember, we aren’t friends.”

Excerpt from: Daria in the Background
Lawndale High School, 12:34 PM
Having had a ‘discussion’ with her parents the previous night, in which she was roped into having some kind of extracurricular activity, Daria entered the office.

“How may I help you, Ms. Morgendorffer?” the assistant asked.

“I’m looking for a list of the extracurricular activities that are available.”

“Oh.”

“Is there such a list?” Daria asked.

“I’ll have to look.”

“Sure.”


Five minutes later, the assistant came back.

Excerpt from: Phineas and Ferb – Candace OWCA Agent
She went to call Stacy in the lounge room and therefore missed Phineas getting his idea for the day via talking to their mother about One Hit Wonders…


“Are you going to be there?” Stacy asked once Candace had told her about the auditions.

“Maybe,” she said enigmatically.

“Maybe?”

“I could be running an errand,” Candace responded.

“Like the errand you were running yesterday?”

“That backyard beach could have been dangerous. What if the Lawn Gnomes ended up elsewhere and people got sucked down with the water?”


“The people would have gotten clear in time,” Stacy said.

“Probably.”

“Anyway, are you coming?”

“I’ll see if I can swing it.”

“I’ll see you there.”

Candace sighed as she hung up. And just in time…

Excerpt from: Daria – Choice of the Cheerleader
It may be said that a massive change of events may start by something which would otherwise be insignificant changing. For instance, Brittany Taylor upon being invited to the Zon, Zone or Zen nightclub by a boy named Terry, or Jerry, deciding to ask her stepmother for help dying her hair instead of doing it herself.

“So, why do you want to do it, honey?” Ashley Amber Taylor asked her stepdaughter after she had asked.

“It would be something different,” Brittany answered. “I would do it myself, but I thought you would do it better.”

“Just because it’s something different?” Ashley Amber asked. She knew Brittany was hiding something.

“Yes!” Brittany said.

“Ok, We will run out and get the dye.”

“Sure!”


Half an hour later, they were ready with the dye Ashley Amber had helped Brittany choose. A dye that was an appropriately dark colour, and which wouldn’t leak out all over the place.


However, seeing the state of the nightclub and Terry or Jerry having abandoned her after one dance, Brittany was miffed. The music was totally assaulting her ears and Andrea was also there (of course she was) giving her a raised eyebrow. She retreated into a restroom. “I can’t stand this! What was I thinking?”

“Brittany?” came a voice to her left.

Was that Daria? “All right, so Kevin is a stupid, selfish, conceited jerk. He's still better than Terry or Jerry or whatever his name is and this stupid club.” She had had enough.

“Who's Terry or Jerry?” Daria Morgendorffer asked.

‘Oops!’ She didn’t want anyone to know. “Oh, no! I've said too much!” She saw that something was up with Daria. “Eww. What happened to your neck?”

It was kinda, red. “Huh?”

“Your neck. It's all, like, blotchy.”

Daria looked closely at her reflection. “Ugh. I don't know.”

That was something else wrong. “I'm not surprised you could catch something in a horrible place like this.”

“Uh, Brittany, could you do me a favour?”

She wasn’t sure. “Um... yes?”

“Find Jane and tell her I had to leave?”

She could do that, but… “Sure, but... will you promise not to tell Kevin about Terry or Jerry or whoever?”

“In the unlikely event that, through some bizarre set of circumstances, I actually end up conversing with Kevin, I won't tell him about Terry or Jerry,” Daria responded.

“Thanks.”

“Daria? You’re in there?” an older guy asked at the door.

“Don’t worry.” Brittany went to the door and found that it was one of the singers of that terrible band that had been playing. “Have some consideration for female modesty, please!”

“Oh, sure, sorry,” the guy said.

She went back to where Daria had entered a stall as four others exited another one. “I’ll tell Jane.”

“I won’t tell Kevin.”


“Brittany?” Jane Lane asked when another girl came up to her and Trent. She wasn’t sure why the usually blonde cheerleader had dyed her hair a dark colour, but it looked good on her. The loose waves also looked better than the pigtails. ‘Why am I appraising her hair?’ She supposed it would make for a good portrait.

“Daria asked me to tell you that she had to leave.”

“Really?”

“Yes!” Brittany said.

“But why would she tell you instead of coming to me.”

“She had her reasons.” Brittany turned her head to the side with her arms crossed.

“Right…”


After Jane and her brother (as she had realised) had left looking for Daria, Brittany also left. It had been an exhausting night, but when she looked in her bedroom mirror before changing she found that she quite liked what she saw there. She wasn’t sure what to make of that.


The next morning Daria told Jane what happened as they walked to school. “Look, I’m sorry about last night,” she said after concluding.

“Aw, forget it. It was a rare opportunity, getting to hang out with Brittany in a grunge club. Although her hair did look good.”

“Really?” Daria asked.
