Excerpt from: Daria and the Impossible

She took out a radio. “This is the signal.” Classical music blared from the radio.

 

“How can you tell that Clara Goodwin is there?” Daria asked.

 

“There is also this,” Agent Leung answered, taking out another radio, tuned to a different frequency.

 

This is Clara Goodwin. I’m still trapped and the food is almost out! The smell is even more overwhelming.”

 

Daria blanched. So did Jane.

 

“Yeah, it is not a good situation,” Leung said.

 

“So, where is this wreckage?” Jane asked.

 

“In the quad in the middle of the Asylum,” the other agent answered, “but we’ll have to go through the buildings.”

Back to the Future: Lorraine’s Paradox

‘Something Impossible,’ she murmured as she looked at the stage. That was one thing Calvin didn’t say about himself. But then, something happened…

 

 

Marty was growing concerned. They still weren’t dancing! Lorraine was just standing there, occasionally glancing at the stage.

Excerpt from: When There is a Crossing of Paths

“Yes.”

 

“She could be anywhere.”

 

“We could start here,” Clara said as she looked over the salt marsh towards a European style mansion.

 

“Hmm…” the Doctor pondered. He took out the sonic screwdriver.

Excerpt from: Daria in the Background

“I think the cybercafé served one very particular segment of the community, but it still pisses me off when people take what isn't theirs,” Jodie said.

 

“That's how I feel!” Kevin interjected.

 

‘No, you don’t,’ Daria Morgendorffer thought.

 

“Thank you, Kevin. Jodie, about that word, "community." Isn't that the whole idea of a cybercafé? To jack us into the global community? I think what's most disturbing about this crime is the symbolism involved. Don't you agree, Jane?

 

“No,” Jane Lane said.

 

“Suddenly, we're cut off. We can't hail our friends across the globe and say, "It's a beautiful day in the cyberhood." They didn't just take a few computers. They took the symbol of our virtual community. To visit alt.lawndale.com was to come together with the planet!”

 

‘Oh, come on!’ Daria thought. O’Neill was just reading too much into it. She didn’t say that out loud as she didn’t want the attention.

 

O’Neill tried to continue to engage the class about the Cyber Café break in, but eventually turned back to Romeo and Juliet halfway through the period.

 

 

1111 Glen Oaks Lane, October 19th, 7:21 PM

Daria and her father were sitting at the table, waiting for dinner.

Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space

The Doctor rejoined them. “Another universe? Impossible!”

 

“How?” Martha asked.

 

“Not impossible,” Felicia said.

 

“But we're not having the same problems as the last time I ended up in another universe,” the Doctor mused.

 

“Like, with Rose?” Martha asked with annoyance.

 

“Um, yeah,” the Doctor admitted.

 

Then the TARDIS landed.

 

The Doctor pressed some buttons and a strange diagram came up. “We're on a starship travelling faster than light. Wait...”

 

“What?” Felicia asked.

 

“The Federation Universe?” the Doctor asked himself.
