Excerpt from: Galactic Trouble

They took out the matresses and placed them in the middle of the room. Stevie placed his close to the door to the balcony. Quinn placed his close to the computer and entertainment setup.


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

“Sure,” Cameron said.


When they had come down the stairs, Christopher and Christian's sister, Keitha were setting the table. “Dinner is almost ready,” Christopher said.
Cameron smiled. “Cool,” he said.

Excerpt from: Quinn's Code (Daria AU) 16: The Geek's Expose

It was so early that Jennifer was the only one who made it there while awake. Jane had had coffee straight out of bed, but as soon as the Beetle had pulled out of Casa Lane's driveway she had gone back to sleep. Jennifer leaned across and lightly shook Jane. “Huh?” Jane asked as she awoke.

“We're at Daria's,” Jennifer said.

“Oh, Right,” Jane said. “I need another coffee.” She opened the door. “Whoa!”

“Yes, a sunrise,” Jennifer said as she got out of the car.

“It's going to be a long day!” Jane grumbled. Getting up at 5:30 was for bathroom breaks, not for going to friend's places super early.


Jennifer rang the doorbell. As expected, Helen opened the door. “Both Daria and Quinn are still asleep,” she said.

“That's fine, Mrs. Morgendorffer. I just wanted to be early,” Jennifer said.

Jane yawned. “Can I have some coffee?”

“Of course,” Helen said.


It wasn't long before Daria came down. “I am sure that Quinn is still asleep,” she said.

“Right, I'll get the camera ready,” Jane said.


Quinn awoke at 6:45. She was surprised to see her door open, and Jennifer just inside it. “Jen?” she asked tiredly.

“You need to get ready, quickly,” Jennifer said.

“Sure,” Quinn said with a smile on her face. Jennifer disappeared back into the hallway and closed the door. Quinn then went to the smaller window, and looked out. She could see Cindy in the distance.


As Quinn came down, the stairs, she could see Jane with the camera. “Welcome, viewers to a day in the life of a geek!” she said.

“Oh, that is good!” Jane said a moment later.

“I have dressed, in my usual Matrix fan-shirt,” Quinn said. “And brushed my hair, which takes a lot shorter time than with others,” she added with a glance at Daria.

Daria grumbled. “It doesn't take as much time maintaining it as you think!” She also knew that her sister spent ages combing her hair getting it 'just right'.

When Quinn entered the living room, there was a knock at the door. “I'll get it!” she said.


It was Cindy. “Hi, Quinn,” she said. Then she went to the agreed upon script. “Last night was great!”

“It was?” Quinn asked, with a theatrical flair.

“Absolutely,” Cindy said. “When I got home I started up Baldur's Gate...”
