Andrea entered Jane's room after some hesitation. She saw that there were many art supplies. “But is there a large tub of paint?” She started looking, being careful to put stuff back where she found it.
The area of the yard between the house and the gazebo was starting to get crowded, Daria noted as she noticed Angie lead Robert out of the house. She took a sip from the punch. 'At least it hasn't been spiked yet.' She then decided to go see if more people would come soon.
Charles knew it might be a bad idea but he approached the Fashion Club with his usual grin and a soda.
Quinn saw him coming. “Upchuck at 2 o'clock!”
“Wha-at?” Tiffany asked, oblivious, as Stacy started hyperventilating.
Sandi turned to the approaching menace.
“Hello beautious maidens.”
“Charles! You had best turn away before something happens,” Sandi said.
“Feisty!” Upchuck said, but didn't move.
Sandi glared at him as Quinn put herself in a fighting stance.
“Feisty!” he said before leaving.
“He shouldn't be bothering us!” Sandi declared.
“We can probably do something, that will humilate,” Quinn pondered.
Sandi had an idea. “Something...” she said with a smirk.
Daria opened the door. “Ted?”
“Hi, Daria!” Ted Dewit-Clinton said.
“I suppose you were interested in what a typical high school party would be like?”
“Yes,” Ted answered. “Although I have been to a couple of others, that haven't been as big as this is going to be.”
'That doesn't sound good,' Daria thought. “How many more people are coming?”
“I'm not sure. But I passed several people down the street,” Ted answered.
“I hope this isn't going to be a disaster!” Daria groused.
“I don't think it will be,” Ted said in his usual upbeat tone.
Jane wondered where Daria had got to. She saw Brittany. “Brittany!”
“Are the Band starting soon?” Brittany asked.
“Yes, in five minutes,” Jane answered. “Have you seen Daria?”
“I think she just went inside.”
“Of course. Thanks, Brittany.”
Jane saw Daria talking to Ted near the door. “Oh, there you are,” she said.
“Just taking a break from the crowd in the yard,' Daria said.
“Hi, Jane,” Ted said.
“Your parents you you're here?” Jane asked.
“They know I'm going to a party if that's what you mean,” Ted answered.
“OK,” Jane said.
There was another knock on the door. Ted opened it. “Jenna? Koichei?” Ted asked.
“It seems everyone is coming here tonight,” Jenna Swartz said.
“Everyone?” Daria asked nervously.
“Well, not 'everyone' per se,” Koichei Robasaki interjected as he and Jenna entered. “That would be like if the Zon actually had a good band for once.”
“Well, it is a big yard,” Jane said. “But one of the bands that regularly play at the Zon is playing...”
“Mystik Spiral?” Jenna asked.
“Yes,” Jane answered. “They are just about to start playing.”
“Cool,” Jenna said.
Koichei looked at her and raised his eyebrow.
“I mean, they fall into the 'So bad it's good' area,” Jenna clarified.
“I suppose so,” Jenna said.
There was another knock on the door.
“How many more?” Daria groused as Jane opened the door.
“Mr. DeMartino!”
“Good Evening, Miss Lane. I heard about the party through the grapevine, and I knew it would be here.”
“Oh Great!” Daria groaned.
“Don't worry, Miss Morgendorffer. No other faculty members are coming.”
