DARIA: see you after school (Trent Kisses her) JANE: bye (kisses Jesse) Daria and Jane walk into the school, Jesse and Trent drive away. Setting: Mr. DiMarino's Senior History class. No one pays attention as Mr. DiMartino and Upchuck converse privatly in the front of the room. Both have large and long duffel bags filled to capacity. DARIA: this whole threat thing is actually freaking me out JANE: me too, but look at it this way, we can skip graduation and Trent can keep u nice and safe in his room. (sly grin on her face) DARIA: F*ck off Lane, don't get me started on u and Jesse JANE: I hate you (kiddingly) DARIA: I hate you too (also kiddingly) Mr. DiMartino and Upchuck have finished their conference, and Upchuck has returned to his seat with his duffel bag close by, Mr. DiMartino also has his nearby.

DIMARTINO: (taking something out of his bag, its a huge gun and he points it at Kevin) the lesson you're all gonna learn!!!! Mr. DiMartino pulls the trigger but Kevin moves in time to just miss getting hit. Everyone but Upchuck, Daria and Jane get up and go to the back of the room. Upchuck joins his partner and Daria and Jane remain frozen in shock. MR. DIMARTINO: don't even think about running! To the auditouriom, now. (calling to a mysterious person outside) take them, J. J: got it boss Everybody has left with Upchuck and J. except for Daria and Jane. MR. DIMARTINO: why are u still sitting there? DARIA and JANE: b.....b....because MR. DIMARTINO: aww, prize pupil and sidekick at a loss for words for the first time ever? Too bad, say your pray....... Mr. DiMartino is disrupted by the sounds of gubshots and screams (which continue for the whole scene at the school). One of the screams is definitly Quinn's. DARIA: Quinn!!!!! Daria takes off running after the voice of her sister, with Jane right behind her. DiMartino had slipped off unnoticed by the girls when the first gunshot was heard. Scene: Cafeteria, Quinn has be shot in the shoulder is loosing alot of blood. The Fashion Club surround her. QUINN: get my sister SANDI: sister?

They run into the Cafeteria, not noticing Upchuck behind them. DARIA: Quinn! QUINN: Daria, i'm so sorry DARIA: shhh...... (hugs her sister, her sister hugs back) Suddenly Upchuck makes his presence known by aiming and shooting. Scene: Outside, Trents car, We hear the gunshot and a scream that sounds like Daria's. Trent gets out of the car and starts running, Jesse is behind him. Jesse is going in search of help in the school, while Trent goes straight to the Cafeteria, from where he heard the shot. Scene: Cafeteria, Daria is motionless on the ground, blood spilling out from under her. The bullet is obviously close to her heart. Trent comes running in unnoticed. We do not know if Daria is breathing or not. Quinn goes to her unconcious sister, then to Upchuck. QUINN: Bastard, that was my sister. (Quinn punches upchuck out) Jane and the whole group, (minus Sandi and Trent) hug Quinn in a big group. Trent goes over to Daria. Unbeknowst to anyone, after 10 min. of being unconious, Upchuck gets up and slips away. The group has noticed Trents presence and is now just standing back and watching. Jesse comes in with 3 cops, all male, behind him. The shooting and screaming has stopped. Suddenly, 2 dark figures have shown up behind the cops. FIGURE 1: male-scum, you will pay for this FIGURE 2: this puts Lawndale high on the map for sure If u haven't figureed it out, its Li and Barch. BARCH: say your prayers male scum Li and Barch shoot the three "cops" down, they turn out to be UpChuck, DiMarino and J. The Paramedics show up and take Daria and Quinn away. Trent goes with Daria along with Jane and Jodie. Mack, Tiffany and Stacy go with Quinn. Scene: Daria's ambulance. The paramedics are doing surgery on Daria, mainly trying to get her to breathe, since she had stopped about 5 minutes ago. PARAMEDIC 1: try a higher voltage, i'm not gonna let her die. PARAMEDIC 2: try it now. After another 5 minutes, Daria's heart started again. It was faint, but it was beating, and she was breathing. Scene: Lawndale Hospital, 2 months later Daria is in her hospital bed, with Trent right beside her, and Jane next to him. Quinn has her arm in a sling but otherwise is ok. Tiffany, Stacy Jodie, Mack and a reluctant Sandi are there too. TV: Lawndale High's turn of events leaves one student near death. Daria Morgendorffer's story as told by friends and family, next on CNN!! DARIA: I'm famous. (kids) which is my best side? JANE: they're both good QUINN: nah, the one shes been sitting on for the past 2 months JANE: spoken like a true sister DARIA and QUINN: cousin JANE: whatever TRENT: (has a sly look on his face as he whispers into a now blushing Daria's ear) JANE: Trent, what did u put into her head now? Trent responds with a sly grin shot in Janes direction, once again, Jesse shows up in time to hear it all. JANE: thats enough Trent, i don't need to know JESSE: I can deal with it, what do u say Jane? Jane now has her own sly look. JANE: everybody vacate unless u care to get a date and join us. SANDI: (as she leaves) thats so wrong QUINN: shut up Sandi and leave them be Everybody but Daria, Trent, Jane, Jesse, Jodie and Mack leave. DARIA: Jodie, MacK? This is something i didn't expect.
