Excerpt from: Doctor Who – Ace
and the Secrets of the TARDIS
She wasn’t sure she wanted to
know. She thought about asking the Doctor. She shook her head. That wasn’t a
good idea. She would have to find another way. She decided to find one of the
locked rooms.
It took a while for her to
find one. She took out a hairpin.

Excerpt from: Daria – Trouble
in Lawndale
That was something she did
often.
Having been enrolled at the
School, Daria found that she had Science for first period. In class she quickly
found that the teacher had issues… “…and like a husband going home to his noble
and self-sacrificing wife, the rat keeps returning to the food box. That is,
the positive reinforcement. Huh, if only men could be more like rats. Oh, sure,
they come home at first. You feed them, you wait on them, and then, after
twenty-two thankless years, they just up and leave. No note, no phone call, no
nothing!” She slammed her ruler on her desk for emphasis. “Just... like...
that!”
“I wonder why he left,” Daria
murmured to her new acquaintance, Jodie Landon.
“Now, before I divide the
class into teams of two, who can give me another example of reinforcement?”
The class didn’t give an
answer.

Clara Oswald Doesn’t Exist
“Bow ties are cool,” Osgood said. “Big smiles, and now!” The
soldiers around her drew their weaponry from their backpacks.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and
the Time Lady
“Hand it over, Hernandez!”
“No!” she called out.
Bond raised his PPK. She knew
that he would use it. She raised the device, placing it in the line of fire
between it and her heart. (But she knew he could hit her somewhere else
lethal.) Suddenly, the area lit was lit up by the Toronto's forward
floodlights.
“The device is giving out
interference. I can't get a lock on either of them,” Albert said.
“If she threw it, could you
get it in a tractor beam?” Lawson asked.
“If it's at a low factor. But
wouldn't it be easier to land?”
“There isn't enough room!”
Lawson sighed. “We can't get a
lock or land! But we can get it in a tractor beam if you throw it.”
“Let's do that.”
“Readying the tractor beam,”
Lawson said. He dialed down the factor as low as it could go.
“Let's do what?” Bond asked.

Excerpt from: Daria - Party at
111 Howard
“You didn't know before?” Mack
asked.
“I haven't been here in
years!” Joey said.
“Cool,: Jamie said.
“Then maybe you can show us
the way to the kitchen,” Jeffy said.
“Sure,” Joey said.
Mack looked at Jeffy.
“What? I'm hungry.”
Andrea was looking through the
rooms, wondering which was which. She opened a door, and looked in. She smiled.
She had found Jane's room, it being the only one with an easal. She slipped
into the room.
Brittany slipped into the
kitchen and saw the Three Js there. “Hi, Joey, Jeffy, James,” she said.
“It's Jamie!”
“Sorry,” Brittany said. “Jane
sent me to start bringing stuff out into the yard.”
“It's out in the yard?” Jeffy
asked.
“Yes,” Brittany answered.
“Cool!” Jamie said.

Excerpt from: Daria - Return
of the Runaway
“This is my third year of
College though,” Wendy said.
“And I've turned sixteen.”
“Those aren't the only
reasons though.”
“Of course not. I have thought
about Jake and Helen and how they must have been worried for their daughter who
had run away. The same for Quinn. I may have been a handful...” Lillian added.
“You weren't that much,” Wendy
interrupted.
“I know I was, but I was more
of one for them. I have realised that now.”
“Call tomorrow after you
meet them.”
