Excerpt from: Daria in the
Background
Programming Club
Talk about programming languages and practice coding.
‘Not what I’m into,’ she thought. Her interests were more
‘soft’.
Chess Club
Play and discuss strategies for Chess.
‘Maybe if I can’t find anything else.’
“Have you found anything?” her mother asked.
“Some may be interesting,” Daria said, guardedly. She
didn’t like her mother’s challenging tone.
“I’ll give you some time.”
‘Just not much time.’
Creative Writing Club
Discuss the art of creative writing and share and
critique short stories.
That was more up her ally! But she was sure Mr. O’Neill
was involved somehow. ‘If nothing else, though.’
Anime Club
‘No.’
Daria went through the entire list. The number of
actually interesting activities, including the Creative Writing Club, were very
few.
There was the Lawndale Lowdown, if she was able to
chose a column which suited her. There was also the History Club, but she
wasn’t sure what sort of history they talked about. Or there was the French
Club. Her admittedly poor French could use some practice.
‘One of those,’ she decided.
Lawndale High October 20th, 8:34 AM
Daria entered the office.

Excerpt from: Mystery in the
Atlantic
“Of
course,” Claudia said.
“But the
information may prove useful.”
Flying
into Ny Berk, Pete saw that the island was rather mountainous, with most of the
coastline consisting of cliffs. “There hardly seems to be any place for a ship
to land,” he commented.
“There
is a small harbour on the north shore,” Myka said. “Apparently it takes very
skilled navigators.”
“I don’t
doubt that.”
“Welcome
to Ny Berk.”

Excerpt from: Mystery
Incorporated in Lawndale
“Let’s listen to those recordings,” Velma said.
Daphne followed the others into the Lanes basement. It
looked much like many other basements she and her friends had investigated over
the years. However, it was rare that a band had their practice space in a
basement. Most often they practiced in a garage or a spare room. There had even
been a couple who practiced in an attic. “Mystik Spiral?” she asked.
“But we might change our name,” Jane’s brother, Trent
said in respond.
“It sounded interesting,” Daphne said.
“Well, it was something Daria said,” Trent said.
“Really?” Velma asked.

Excerpt from: Star Trek:
Voyager – An Alternate Journey
She and Tuvok again fired on
the starship's sheilds.
“Aft sheilds down to 75%.”
“Prepare to fire torpedoes.”
“Aye.”
“They are preparing to fire
torpedoes,” Tuvok reported. “Prepare to fire simultanously.”
“Has this ever worked?”
Katelyn asked.
“Not very often,” Tuvok
responded. “But we have to attempt it.”
“Ready?” Daniel asked.
“I'm not, but I'm going to
try.”
“Locking on,” Katelyn said.
Kathiannah fired
torpedoes. Katelyn and Tuvok then fired phasers fast enough to hit the
torpedoes just outside the sheild envelope.
As Tuvok had intended, the
explosions knocked down the shields.
“Has to be a very unlikely
shot.”
“1 in a thousand,”
Tuvok commented.
The two shuttles then landed
in Kathiannah's shuttlebay. It was a tight squeeze, with the other
shuttles already there.

Assignment Chaos
She could see two black
curtains to the right of the front door.
“Let's go inside and get it
over with,” Cindy said with a worried tone.
“Sure,” Kristen said.
Andrea was in the kitchen when
she heard the doorbell. She then found Kristen and the others there.
“You're here for the project?”
she asked.
“Yes,” Quinn answered.
