An Unexpected Friend; of the Acquatic Variety

 Daria: An unexpected friend; of the Aquatic Variety

Jane followed Daria into her room. It was exactly as she had described it, with padding on the walls and bars in the windows. "Wow," she said. She took it in. A poster of a half-unearthed skeleton, a plain bed, a television on a trolly, models of a heart and a slice of cheese, another televison on a ceiling mount and a bookshelf with a computer set-up. Not to mention a Kafka poster. However, between the computer and the books was a small aquarium.

Jane went over to the aquarium and looked in it. It was unlike any other pet fish that she had seen before. "What sort of fish is this?" she asked.


"Talon, he's a Siamese fighting fish," Daria replied.


"Fighting Fish, huh? That's different."


"Definitely different to Quinn's goldfish, that's for sure," Daria said as she opened a box of food. Jane chuckled.
