“Which was?” Quinn asked quietly.

“Like, I was sensing something,” Stacy answered.

“Do you think someone was trying to talk to you?” the Doctor asked.

“Probably, but I’m not sure,” Stacy responded. She looked at Quinn. “You don’t think I’m crazy, do you?”

“No, Stacy, I don’t think you’re crazy,” Quinn answered. “You wouldn’t believe most of the things I have seen while travelling with the Doctor.”

“I can’t say much more,” Stacy said.

“We need to tell Kim and others we found her,” Ron said.

“Kim?” Stacy asked.

“Ron’s friend and also Daria and a robot named Kaelyn,” Quinn answered.

“A robot?” Stacy asked.

“A long story,” Ron answered.


Daria, Kim, Kaelyn and Brittany searched the last bathroom. “She has to be in a courtyard somewhere,” Daria said. “I hope the others have found her.”

“I think I know where,” Brittany said as she twirled a pigtail.

“You do?” Kim asked.

“I have seen her there before,” Brittany said.

“Why didn’t you say this before?” Daria asked.

“You didn’t ask.”

“Of course not,” Daria groused. “Lead the way.”


Stacy was still going over what was happening when Daria, Brittany and two others arrived.

“Brittany?” the Doctor asked.

“Hi, Doctor,” Brittany said.

‘She travels with the Doctor too?’ Stacy wondered briefly.

“I see you have got involved in this too,” the Doctor said to Brittany.

“Yes. I wanted to help Daria, as well as find out what’s up with Stacy.”

“As compassionate as ever,” the Doctor commented.

“Thanks,” Brittany said.

“So, what now?” Daria asked.

“There is something responsible for the portal device and the flicker,” the Doctor said.

“But they are unlikely to be the same thing,” Daria said.

“Or they might be,” the Doctor said.

“Most often it is,” Quinn said. “But that doesn’t mean that’s the case here.”

“There’s a portal?” Stacy asked.

“Yes,” Quinn answered.

“Kim and I came through it,” Ron said.

“From a town in Colorado in 2003,” Kim added.

“The future?” Stacy asked.

“Yes,” Kim answered.


“So, we have a time portal, which we accidentally activated,” the Doctor said.

“And a Time Lord,” Quinn added.

“Time Lord?” Kim asked. “Are you alien?”

“Yes, I’m a traveller through time and space. As I was saying. We have the portal which connects Lawndale to Middeton through time.”

“And myself,” Kaelyn added. “My family may not be responsible for the portal, but given my artificial nature…”

“A robot,” the Doctor added.

“And whatever is affecting Stacy,” Daria added.

“That is also affecting Lawndale’s electricity,” Stacy said.

“Are they related, is that what you’re asking?” Peter asked.

“It could be someone, or something I have faced before,” the Doctor answered.

“That could be anything,” Quinn said, clearly thinking of what she had already faced.

“That’s true,” the Doctor considered.


Daria thought about what Quinn had told her about her travels with the Doctor. The thought of any of the more strange, evil or powerful things being in Lawndale was frightening, She looked at the time. “We’ll have to get back to class soon.”

“Don’t remind me,” Stacy said.

“We’ll keep investigating Lawndale,” Kim said.

“Like, we have enough trouble with our own school,” Ron said.

“Ron!” Kim said.

“It’s true,” Ron added.

“I’ll continuing investigating too.”

“Cool, then we can go to the TARDIS, and scan Lawndale again,” the Doctor said. “We should be able to find something about the flicker that the sonic alone can’t.”

“Isn’t it still in our back yard?” Daria asked.

“Given that your parents are both at work, it shouldn’t be a problem,” the Doctor said.

“Then we’ll meet up at the pizza place after school?” Brittany asked.

“If there really isn’t a Bauno Nacho, it will have to do,” Ron said.

“Sounds like a plan,” Daria said.


The Doctor, Kaelyn and Team Possible left the school grounds as the bell for the next period rang. “So, your TARDIS is in the Morgendorffers’ backyard?” Kim asked.

“It must be small to fit in a back yard,” Ron said.

“You’ll see,” the Doctor said.


Quinn watched Stacy as they headed to class. She seemed like her usual self, but she knew that strange things could affect people. She shook her head, she didn’t want to think of some of the things she had encountered with the Doctor.

“So, where are you headed?” Daria asked. “I could drive you?”

“The Historia at first,” Anna answered. “Apparently, SpiderGirl is often on the roof.”

“I have heard that,” Daria said. “Probably because it offers a good vantage point. I have been up there, looking at the town, myself.”

“The Historia too,” Ben added.

“Just no making out while I’m driving,” Daria said.

“Um, we don’t do that,” Anna said. “The hypochondria.”

“Anna!” Ben said as they came up to the parking lot.

“Sorry,” Anna said, as she kissed her boyfriend on the cheek.

Ben rubbed the cheek.

Daria sighed as she unlocked the Lexus.


Quinn and Brittany left the school grounds before changing to SpiderGirl and Ninja Talon respectively. They then went in different directions, with SpiderGirl heading southwards, to patrol the downtown.


Daria parked in the parking lot behind the Historia. “I didn’t really know this was here,” Anna said as she got out.

“It’s one of those hidden places that people don’t think about,” Daria said.

“Like in those stories you like, only more mundane,” Ben said.

“That makes sense,” Anna said.

“I’ll show you the backstage area if you want,” Daria said.

“What about the apartments?” Anna asked.

“They’re hardly used, and therefore boring,” Daria responded.

“Oh, right,” Anna said.


Daria and the couple entered the backstage area and saw Quentin measuring something near the stage. “Anna, Ben, this is Quentin Beck, the new special effects person.”

“Hi,” Anna said.

“Hi,” Quentin said.

“What are you doing?” Daria asked.

“What does it look like?” Quentin asked.

“I don’t think anything needs to be done back here,” Daria said.

“I need to know what I’m working with,” Quentin said.

“Draw up a plan for what you want to do, then bring it to Quinn and I before the rehearsal tomorrow,” Daria said.

“Sure thing,” Quentin said.


“A little suspicious,” Anna said as they entered the theatre room.

“I agree,” Daria said. “I’ll tell Quinn later.”

Daria – Trouble in Lawndale
“Girls, I just want you to know your mother and I realize it's not easy moving to a whole new town -- especially for you, Daria, right?” Jake Morgendorffer said, as he and his daughters approached Lawndale High.

“Did we move?” Daria asked, as she looked around, annoyed that her father had spoken after remaining silent since they left their new home half an hour before.

“Stop following me, Daria!” her sister, Quinn, said.

“Excuse me, we’re walking along to the same school!”

“You don’t have be right behind!” Quinn said.

“It’s not my fault Lawndale has such narrow sidewalks.”


Jake, annoyed with his daughters’ arguing, put his headphones back on. “I've been working on the railroad... come on, guys, we know this one.”


Meanwhile at Lawndale High, two students were already there. (Although calling one of them a student might have been stretching the definition a bit…) “Come on, Mack Daddy! I'll get the coach to write us a note. I'll say we need extra time on the free weights.”

“I told you not to call me that!” Mack said, exasperated. “And they're not going to excuse you from English for weight training.”

“I can't take any more of this Shakespeare dude, bro. He's, like, a total chick writer!”

Mack sighed.


“Maybe we could go to that Mall of the Millennium this weekend, Daddy?” Quinn asked as they approached the school.

“A hundred miles? To go to a Mall? There’s a Mall less than five minutes from home. In a car!”

“I’m sure there are some fascinating Malls in Southeast Asia.” Daria snarked.

“Southeast Asia! To go to a mall!” Jake exclaimed.

“She’s joking!” Quinn said.

“Oh!”


Jane Lane arrived at Lawndale High. She switched off the audio recording of the last night’s Sick Sad World episode. The concept of a model creating an encyclopedia was appropriately inane. “Drawing pictures in margins…” she mused. 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.

“Fine, class. Ignore me... just like he did!”

“Just as well he wasn’t Jones,” Daria commented.

“I heard that!” Barch said. “But we’re not talking about cults. You can ask DeMartino about that! But you have stumbled upon an interesting answer. A charismatic man re-enforcing herd-like behaviour in his followers, leading to tragic results!”

“Excellent example Daria,” Jodie said.

Daria shrugged.


Between classes, Sandi Griffin was talking with Joey Green, Jamie White and Jeffy Brown, ‘So I said, "Sure, it's a nice car. Do you have enough gas to get to Loserville?’”

“That’s funny, Sandi,” Joey said.

“You really know how to tell a story,” Jeffy said.

“Thanks,” Sandi said.

“Tell us the part with Stacy again,” Jamie said.

“Stacy wasn’t in that story. It was just Tiffany and I,” Sandi said.

“Well then, take Tiffany out and put Stacy in,” Joey suggested.

Stacy then came along. “Hi guys!” she said. “Sandi, Joey, Jeffy, Jerome.”

“Hi, Stacy,” Joey said.

“Hi, Stacy,” Jeffy added.

“Hi, Stacy. It’s Jamie!”

“Oh, sorry!”

“Have you seen that new girl?” Jamie asked.

“The redhead?” Stacy asked.

“She could be new member for the Fashion Club,” Sandi answered.

“There she is!” Jamie said.

Sandi sighed as Jamie and Jeffy ran off.


Daria listened as Jodie told her how busy she was. “…And that is why I can only go to study sessions in the early evenings,” Jodie said.

“I bet you don’t have to deal with Family Court,” Daria said.

“Family Court?” Jodie asked incredulously.

“It was an attempt by my Mom to use Jurisprudence in family matters after my sister and I came home late one night.”

“That sounds crazy,” Jodie commented.

“It was,” Daria said. “But it didn’t last long, because they were too busy to enforce a month-long grounding.”

“That’s something I’d like to hear about at some point,” Jodie said as they came to the next class.


“Can monkeys surf the net, and corrupt our kids? Chimpanzee chat rooms, next on Sick Sad World.”

Claire Defoe switched off the TV after students started filing into the classroom. She saw the new student, Daria. “Ms. Morgendorffer!”

Daria came over. “Yes?”

“Your records from Highland are intriguing,” the teacher said.

“I experimented, that’s all.”

“Using a glue gun as an actual gun?” Claire asked with an eyebrow raised.

Daria raised her own eyebrows. “Oh, that. Those two deserved it, but I won’t do it here in Lawndale.”

“Good. I just wanted to hear it from you personally. I would like to talk about your previous art after class. There’s a student I’d like you to meet.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”


“Fifty dollars an hour!” Jane groused as she approached the art classroom. That was the amount Mr. Ewing had quoted for the average Math tutoring cost in Lawndale. She doubted it would be any cheaper in Oakwood. ‘Or Middlebury for that matter,’ she mused as she overheard other students complaining about exorbitant prices.

Helen
It was a normal busy day at Vitale, et al.

The phone rang.

Marianne Kingston answered it. “Hello?”

“Hello…”

She hung up.

Helen Morgendorffer knew what happened. That boy from Springfield, North Takhoma yet again! “That has to stop,” she said.

“But, what can you do?” Marianne asked.

“I have an idea. Something Daria mentioned.”

“That sounds good.”


That evening, Marge Simpson was preparing dinner when the phone rang. She sighed and picked it up, knowing that Homer wouldn’t bother when he was engrossed in the TV. “Hello?”

“Is that Marge Simpson?”

“I’m Marge Simpson and you are?”

“Helen Morgendorffer. I’m calling because your son, Bart’s, prank calls are causing disruptions here in Lawndale.”

“I know about it. The charges are quite ridiculous compared to when he stuck to Springfield.”

“That’s not the only problem, Mrs. Simpson. He’s annoyed both of my daughters and riled up my husband,”

“I see,” Marge said.

“And you don’t want to see him when he’s riled up.”

“I will talk to him about it again.”

“Good. Otherwise I may need to take legal action,” Helen said.

“I can guess, your older daughter told me you’re a lawyer.”

“Yes, and you don’t want your son to face the full force of my ire!”

‘She’d probably file a restraining order!’ Marge considered. That was definitely something she didn’t want on Bart’s record. “And he won’t have to.”

“I’ll hold you to that.”

“Thanks for your call.”


After dinner, Marge called a family meeting.

“Oh, Marge, what do we need a family meeting for?” Homer asked.

“Because of Bart’s calls,” Marge answered.

“Really?” Bart asked.

“Yes,” Marge answered.

“So, someone in that town in that eastern state has tracked us down?” Homer asked.

“They knew it was a Simpson family from this flyover state a while ago,” Lisa answered.

“Oh,” Homer said.

“So, what about my calls?” Bart asked.

“Mrs. Morgendorffer spoke to me, Bart. You know that she’s a lawyer.”

“So?”

“She mentioned that she might take legal action! That could include a restraining order.”


Bart considered that. As much as he had caused trouble, he hadn’t thought about that. “Fine! I’ll stop calling Lawndale, nor anywhere else in Marylvania.

“Good! I shall write a letter and send it to them,” Marge said.

24th March
Excerpt from: The Bratty Cheerleader
“I don’t have to like it.”


Brittany still wasn’t sure what to do about the situation as school let out. “I’ll talk to Ashley-Amber,” she decided.

“Babe!”

Brittany sighed. “Kevie!”

“What’s up, Babe?”

“You know what’s up! We’re not lab partners!”

“Oh!”


Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
“I’ll have another look before going back to the Hall,” Olivia said.

“I’ll come too.”


It was already getting late as they arrived back at the Library. The evening crowd of students using the various study nooks were already there. But Olivia had already determined that the Ancient Section didn’t have many of those.

Talia and David were still there, and there were are few others there too.

“You talked to Freya?” Talia asked.
