Excerpt from: Daria in the
Background
Her mother, Helen entered the walked through the kitchen.
“Hi! Gotta change, dinner meeting.”
“Did something happen?” her father, Jake, asked.
“Hmm… depends on your perspective,” Daria answered.
Her sister, Quinn walked through the kitchen. “Hi! No
dinner for me! Emergency meeting of the Fashion Club!”
“I'll make up a nice plate for you and cover it up with
cling wrap,” Daria snarked.
“That was Quinn,” Jake said.
“Yes, but you still haven't identified our first mystery
guest,” Daria said.
Helen re-entered the kitchen. “Dammit. I just called Eric
for directions and he said the meeting's canceled. Well, that just gives us the
chance for a family dinner.”
“I'll throw another steak on the grill,” Daria snarked.
“Later,” Quinn said as she walked through again.
“Where’s she going?” Helen asked.
“Crisis at the Fashion Club. Someone woke up with frosted
hair,” Daria responded.
Helen sat down. “You know, Daria, it wouldn't hurt if you
got involved in some after school projects once in a while.”
“Can't talk now. I'm chairing a meeting of the Resting
Quietly Club.”

Next Generation: A New Generation
“Yes, sir.” “Then I mean now, Commander.” Shortly afterwards, Riker directed the redocking manoeuvre with aplomb. “A fairly routine manoeuvre but you handled it quite well,” the Captain said shortly afterwards.
“Thank you, sir. I hope I showed some promise.” “I do have some questions for you though.” “Yes, sir. I thought you might,” Riker said. “I see in your file that Captain DeSoto thinks very highly of you. One curious thing, however, you refused to let him beam down to Altair Three.” “In my opinion, sir, Altair Three was too dangerous to risk exposing the Captain.”

Youngest Barksdale
“I saw something wrong, I tried to
deal with it.”
“There is nothing
wrong here, Ms. Barksdale.”
“I would hope
that is the truth, Ms. Li,” Daria said.
“I will be
keeping an eye on you. That is what I was saying!” the principal said.
“Understood.”
“You are free to go to class now. Here’s your hall pass.”
Daria recognised a dismissal when she saw one. “Later,
Ms. Li.”
“Additional note to self,” Ms. Li said into a tape
recorder after Daria had left, “keep additional eyes on Daria Barksdale!”

Mysteries of Lawndale
“Not really,” Stacy murmured.
“Stacy…” Quinn prompted with concern.
“Yes!” Stacy said. “Not in so many words of course. But
in her expressions when I mention it!”
“I’m going to have to talk to her,” Quinn groused.
Stacy was alarmed. “No! That will make it worse!” she
said while waving her arms.
“Something needs to be done,” Quinn said. “It’s not right
that she’s giving you a hard time.”
Stacy nodded. “Maybe call her out at the next Fashion
Club meeting.”
“Maybe,” Quinn considered. She looked at the three bored
looking boys. “But we better get going.”
“Please!” Jeffy said.
“Oh, sorry!” Stacy said.
Jane looked at the clock. 3:30. Detention was only half
over…
