"And that class is why texting and social networking sites do more harm than good for the human brain," said Mr. Van Driessen. The bell rang. "Well, there's the bell, students. Have a wonderful weekend."
Beavis and Butthead, who had slept through class, just woke up at the sound of the dismissal bell.
"Umm, is it like, time to go?" Beavis asked.
"Uhhh, maybe. Uh huh huh. Let's get out of here." Butthead said. The two of them headed for the classroom door.
"Wait just one second," Van Driessen said to the boys, "I want to tell you something." Beavis and Butthead walked over to Van Driessens desk.
"Ummm, we're like, not planning to put a tack on your desk. Mmm hm hm."
"What? No," said Mr. Van Driessen. "I wanted to tell you about something I have planned for fall break. I've been thinking that someone from our class should go the town of Lawndale to visit our old friend Daria."
"Daria?" Butthead asked. "That girl with the glasses?"
"Yes," said Van Driessen. "She hasn't come over to visit us, and I think you guys should visit her, since you've all been good friends to her. I've decided that you guys should go over there and visit her, since she's always had a hard time fitting in. Now I've been talking to Mr. and Mrs. Morgendoffer on the phone, and we've agreed to split the cost for your travel, so long as you promise to be on your best behavior."
"Whoa," said Butthead. "we're like, going on vacation? Uh huh huh."
"Well, it's not exactly a vacation," Van Driessen said, "but really just a chance to connect with an old friend of ours who needs attention. But that doesn't mean it can't be fun as well as spiritually enlightening."
"Cool," said Beavis, "Lets go!"
"Yeah," said Butthead, "Uh huh huh."
"Great," Van Driessen said. "I'm going to research tickets online and stay in touch with Darias parents. I'll tell you more about what I found out on Monday. Have fun at home guys!" So Beavis and Butthead left and walked home.
"That's really cool that Van Driessen's sending us to visit Daria," Beavis said. "Wonder if we're gonna score while we're there?"
"You idiot Beavis!" Butthead exclaimed. "We don't wanna score with Daria! She's like, always upset or something!"
"Yeah but like, we can score with other people. Like maybe Daria has a sister, or some friends, or a hot cousin, that we can score with. Mm hm hm."
"Uhhh, oh yeah. Uh huh huh. This is gonna be cool!"
So over the weekend, daily life was about the same as it always is for the two of them. The worked a Burger World, ate nachos at Maxi Mart, and watched shows on MTV while heckling it. The next Monday, Mr. Van Driessen asked the two to stay with them after class to talk about their upcoming trip.
"Okay boys, I've done the research, and I was able to get you two on a flight to Lawndale in three weeks."
"Three weeks?" Butthead asked.
"We wanna go now!" said Beavis.
"It's good to see that you're both so excited about visiting Daria. I'm sure she's excited too." He paused for a second to think. "Well, I hope she is. Anyway, three weeks is when fall break is, and I don't want you two to have to miss out on school. This will also give you enough time to plan your tip accordingly." He handed them a sheet of paper. "Here's a list of things to bring for your trip. And at the bottom is Daria's home phone number. Call her soon to let you know about your visit."
"Uhhh, okay dude." Butthead said. "Let's go Beavis." And so, the two of them walked back home. When they got home, they decided to call the girl. Butthead dialed the number as it was written.
"Hello," a girls voice answered to phone.
"Uhhh, hello?" Butthead asked. "Uh huh huh"
"How's it going?" said Beavis. "Mm hm hm."
"Oh great, it's Beavis and Butthead. My parents told me all about you're trip," Daria said.
"That's right, baby," said Butthead, "we're gonna come over, have fun, and go on vacation together. Uh huh huh."
"Listen you guys," said Daria, "I would like to tell you that I would hate to see you guys, but there's no need. There's no way you could ever survive on your own, here, there or anywhere. How you two have even managed to stay alive this long is beyond my comprehension."
"Yup, we're pretty special. Mm hm hm," said Beavis.
"Well look you guys, I have a future, unlike you. While you guys count down the days to get here, I'll be counting down the days 'till you leave, so then I can get back to life and what matters. Goodbye." And with that, she hung up.
"Is it me, or has she gotten crankier since she left?" Beaivs asked.
"Uhhh, I think she has," said Butthead. "I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat." So the two of them went off.
Over the next three weeks, Beavis and Butthead continued their normal lives, almost forgetting about their trip, despite Van Driessens constant reminders. Three weeks later, at about five o'clock one morning, Beavis and Butthead lay asleep on their couch, after having watched t.v. the day before. They were suddenly awoken by bright flashing lights and a car horn.
"Ummm, what's that noise?" Beavis asked.
"Go check it out," said Butthead. So Beavis went to the door and opened it. "Hello," he said, half asleep.
"Come on guys, grab your bags!" Van Driessen shouted from his car window. "Your plane leaves in an hour!"
"Plane? What plane?" Beavis asked. "Oh yeah, I remember now. Hang on, we'll be right over." Beavis walked back to the couch and woke up Butthead. "Hey Butthead, it's time to go."
"Go?" Butthead asked. "Go where?"
"To the plane," said Beavis, "we're gonna visit Daria, remember?"
"Uhhh, oh right. Let's pack our bags." So Beavis and Butthead each grabbed their backpacks, filled them with random clothes they found lying around, and went out to Mr. Van Driessens car.
"Good, there you boys are," said Mr. Van Driessen. He drove off. "Now remember guys, Daria's parents are named Mr. and Mrs. Morgendoffer. Her sister's name is Quinn, and Daria's best friends name is Jane. She may be there when you get in. Remember, be polite."
"Uhhh, yeah, we'll be polite. And then we'll score! Uh huh huh"
"Ohh, yeah! Mm hm hm!" Van Driessen continued to drive along the dark road. Once he got the two to the airport, he got them their boarding passes, and lead them to security.
"Now boys, this is where we part ways. I know that the two of you are going to have a great time in Lawndale. I'll call you in a few hours to make sure you guys get there safely. Have fun!" And he left. Beavis and Butthead got through security, and looked for their gate.
"Where do we go now?" Beavis asked.
"Uhhh, whoa dude, check it out!" Butthead pointed to these two women (picture them with large eyes and thick outlines, like the characters of Good Vibes) walking past them. "Those chicks have big thingies!"
"Hey, you're right!" Beavis exclaimed. "Let's follow them!" So they followed the girls to the gate they were going to. "Hey Butthead, look!" Beavis excitedly said as he pointed to the sign above the gate "P.…Lllaaww…dell…Lawdel...Lawndale! It's Lawndale! Those chicks are going to Lawndale!"
"Whoa, dude! We're going on vacation, and we get a plane ride with hot chicks! Uh huh huh!"
"Yeah, This is gonna rule! Mm hm hm. Maybe we can stay with them when we get there." They walked into the gate, which just so happened was not going to Lawndale, but was instead going to Playa del Toro, California. Fortunately for Beavis and Butthead, the plane was pretty empty, so they were not taking anyone else's seat. At last, they found the girls they were looking for. They sat down in the two seats in front of the girls, and turned back to face them.
"Uhhh, hey baby! We're going where you're going! Uh huh huh."
"You wanna get some nachos, or a drink, when we get there? Mm hm hm."
"Back off guys!" said one of the girls. "We're not interested."
"We have boyfriends," said the other girl, "and we're going back home to meet them." They both smiled in spite of their defeat of the duo. Beavis and Butthead turned back to sit facing forward.
"Damn it," Butthead said as the plane began to move down the runway, "those girls have boyfriends."
"Yeah, but like, there's probably lots of girls as hot as them in Lawndale."
"Uhhh, oh yeah. This is gonna be a good time," Butthead said, as the duo was completely unaware that the flight they were supposed to take had just taken off in the other direction.
