Excerpt from: Daria – Brittany
“The police still haven’t found the culprits,” Steve stated.
“They haven’t?” Brittany asked.
“No, but these things usually take a while,” Steve said.
Brittany nodded before saying; “Mr. O’Neill then announced that he’s going to organise and old style coffee house.”
“Sounds like a good idea, honey.”
“It also seems they’re going to put on plays there.”
“That’s a great idea!” Ashley Amber said.
“Well, we are doing Romeo and Juliet. Maybe Kevvie and I could do a scene from it.”
The next day, Brittany found Daria between classes. “Hi, Brittany.”
“Hey, Daria. What’s wrong?”
“My parents have insisted that I get an extracurricular activity,” Daria explained.
“Oh,” Brittany said, and waited for her friend to say more.
“So, I have decided to help with the fundraising for the Coffee House.”
“That’s OK. I was going to do it with Kevin. But instead, I’ll do it with you, Donna and Andrea.”
“Are you sure?” Daria asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“Yes!”
“But what will Kevin do?”
“He can do it with his other friends,” Brittany decided.
“If he’s OK with that.”
“He will be,” Brittany decided.
Kevin saw his girlfriend, Brittany come over after she had got her lunch. “Hey, Brit, are you ready to do the fundraising thing this afternoon?”
“Yes. But I’ll be doing it with Andrea, Donna and Daria.”
“Oh. But why? Who am I going to do it with?”
“Daria’s not going to do it by herself. You can do it with Mack. Just don’t call him ‘Mack Daddy’ he doesn’t like it!”

‘Of course, it wouldn’t be as obvious on them,’ Brittany thought.
“Well, it could happen to lots of people,” Jodie added.
Quinn entered Daria’s hospital room. She hoped to see Doctor Davidson. She saw that Jane, Jodie Mack and Brittany were already there. ‘A bit busy,’ she thought. She wasn’t sure why Brittany was changing her look. But this wasn’t the time to ask her why. “Daria?” she asked.
“Quinn?” Daria asked.
“How are you?” Quinn asked.
“Oh, I’m…” Daria began.
But Quinn interrupted. “Is that Dr. Phillips coming by today? I've got, um, a twinge.”
Kevin then entered the room.
