Pitter-patter, pitter-patter...
The rain patted softly against the bright-green grass of the hilltop as two familiar dark-green boots slow danced with a pair of familiar black tennis shoes to the song Walkin' After Midnight by Patsy Cline. Beavis and Daria were getting soaked as they slow danced out in the pouring rain, their music playing at full blast from the radio of Daria's Father's car.
The brunette's glasses were fogging up but she didn't let that stop her from gazing into her secret lover's baby-blue eyes. He had an innocent, child-like shine to them as he lovingly stared back into her green eyes. Strands of his wet, curly, blonde hair draped over his forehead as he smiled at her with genuine love and happiness.
They were dancing at the top of a tall hill in the pouring rain because Daria didn't want to be seen in public with the dumb blonde. Sure she loved him but she had a reputation to keep and she was embarrassed to be seen with the boy. Beavis on the other hand, Knew Butthead wouldn't let him live it down if he found out his best friend was dating 'Diarrhea' of all people but he didn't care; he wanted people to know he had found love, he wanted to show her off to everyone so he had to pop the question.
"Dia-er...I mean Daria?" The blonde's scratchy voice spoke up, earning the brunette's attention.
"Yes beavis?" Her semi-emotionless tone responded. Beavis bit his bottom lip which he seemed to do when he was in deep concentration as he thought carefully about what he wanted to say.
"Will you like um...go to the dance with me?" He asked shyly as he blushed and began to sweat. The brunette's eyes widened behind her large, circular glasses at the question. She had forgotten about the upcoming Prom completely.
"But...People will see us..." She pointed out, a blush creeping across her own face. She had never really been to Prom with a boy before and she secretly thought Beavis would be a good first but then she remembered the reasons why she had kept her dates with the blonde private; he was immature, disgusting at times and not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. She was nerdy and his complete opposite but they were both social outcasts so they really had nothing to lose.
"I-I know but I like...want people to see us together for once...Mm-heh-heh..." Beavis replied with a flat snicker to follow. His laughter always seemed to match the mood he was in.
"Okay fine..." Daria sighed as she stared into his pleading eyes. She never could resist that innocent, begging look he gave her when he really wanted something important from her. He smiled at her answer as he laughed excitedly before the two shared a gentle kiss on the lips.
"DARIA!" Beavis shouted as he ran after the red Station Wagon in the pouring rain. It had been a month since Daria had promised to go to Prom with him and she didn't have the heart to tell Beavis she would be moving to Lawndale before then. She looked out the back window at him longingly as she watched him barrel down the wet roads as fast as his legs could carry him. She began to regret not telling him now.
"Daria?! Wait! We were suppose to go to Prom together! DARIA!" Beavis called out to her, pain visible in his voice as his legs began to grow tired and the cold wind and rain began nipping at his exposed skin like cold razorblades but he wouldn't let that stop him. He never understood why love made people do crazy things until he had experienced it himself.
Daria rolled down her window and stuck her head out, her brown hair blowing in the wind and rain as she looked at her former boyfriend sympathetically.
"I'm sorry Beavis but I have to go..." She sighed as Beavis finally worked up enough speed to catch up to her window.
"But...we were finally gonna tell everyone we were together...Mm-heh-heh..." He reminded her as tears began to form at the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry Beavis...I really am but it's over...I love you..." She sighed. A tear rolled down her cheek as her Father's Station Wagon drove out of sight.
The blonde dropped to his knees, unable to run any further as the cold water from the puddles beneath him splashed on his exposed legs, causing him to shudder. He trembled with a swarm of emotions he didn't understand, his eyes widening and his pupils shaking as he let it sink in that his first and only love was gone forever. Now he would have to go to Prom by himself.
"DARIA!" He cried out into the dark-grey storm clouds as the lightning flashed, tears finally streamed his cheeks. His chest felt as if it had just been impaled by a sword and all he felt was pain...heartbreak...He finally broke down crying out of pure agony as the cold, unforgiving rain poured down on him heavily. His sobs didn't sound much different from his usual, "Heh-heh-heh..." Just a little more strained sounding along with a few gasps, whimpers and sniffles as he cried softly into his cupped hands. He didn't care if anyone saw him, he didn't even care if Butthead saw him; he was into much pain to care about his reputation or looking tough. All he felt was pain...
The lightning struck the tree in the front yard with a loud crack, startling Beavis out of his deep slumber. He took in his surroundings, realizing that he had passed out on Butthead's couch once again. The brunette snored softly as he slumped in an uncomfortable position on the opposite side of the couch from his blonde friend. Their old T.V flashed pale colors and lights as a new music video played on M.T.V.
Beavis sighed sadly upon realizing that he was dreaming; the same painful memories of his last date with Daria and the fateful he had lost her had been haunting his dreams since the day she had moved. Prom would be coming up soon and he still didn't have a date; every girl in his school rejected him without even giving him a chance as always. They were all such stuck-up, female-chauvanist, pigs which in all honesty Beavis really didn't want to be dating anyway. Now that he had experienced true love, losing his virginity no longer seemed as important.
"Why...?" He sighed as tears once again began to form in his eyes.
"Huh? Uh-huh-huh..." Butthead asked as he began to stir awake. Beavis quickly wiped his eyes and forced the same smile he had been forcing for weeks before greeting Butthead with his usual, "Heh-heh! Mornin'...Hm-hm-heh!"
"Mornin'..." Butthead yawned before stretching until his back gave off a loud, painful-sounding crack.
"So I was thinkin' like...Maybe we should skip school again. Mm-heh-heh!" Beavis suggested with false happiness. He had been in too much emotional pain to try and force himself through another day of school; he just wanted to stay home and drown his sorrows in soda and nachos while watching reruns of Ridiculousness and Jersey Shore.
"No way buttmunch! Today I'm like...finally gonna ask Cassandra to Prom...Uh-huh-huh..."Butthead refused before picking himself up from the old, worn-out couch.
"Oh right...Mm-heh-heh..." Beavis sighed before standing up as well. He had forgotten that his best friend had been planning to ask the hippy girl out for months now. She seemed like a nice girl but she only thought of Butthead as a friend plus it was pretty obvious that she was into Dean.
"What's with you anyway? ever since Diarrhea moved you've been acting like...weird and stuff...Uh-huh-huh..." Butthead asked as he and Beavis exited their house and began trudging down the sidewalk.
"Whata ya mean Butthead? Mm-heh-heh!" Beavis asked. Butthead still had no idea he was dating Daria at the time and he wasn't about to let him know now.
"You've like...been sleeping a lot and you've been sighing and stuff...Uh-huh-huh..." Butthead pointed out.
"I'm just tired of not bein' able to get any chicks for the Prom...Mm-heh-heh..." Beavis lied to hide his true heartbreak from his friend. Butthead sighed; normally he would tease Beavis and tell him he was never going to 'score' but this time he could tell that his best friend was really upset about it and decided to give him some words of encouragement.
"Don't worry dude; you just need to find a girl that's like...you know? Not a total bitch..." Butthead explained before glancing over at his friend, who was following close behind him at a slower pace.
"Thanks dude...Mm-heh-heh...Good luck with Cassandra today...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis smiled a bit forlornly as his brunette friend gave a small smile back.
When the two boys reached their school they made their way to Mr. Vantreeson's class and took their usual seats at the back.
"Hey baby...Uh-huh-huh..." Butthead glanced over at Cassandra with a flirtatious smirk as she smiled back.
"Hello Butthead." She greeted sweetly before turning her attention to Vantreeson who had made his way to the front-center of the class.
"Attention class; today we will be having two new students. Say hello to Crystal and Sapphire." Vantreeson announced as two familiar looking girls entered the classroom.
"Beavis?!" The raven-haired girl, known as Crystal gasped at the sight of the curly-haired blonde that she had once mistaken for a drug dealer.
"Butthead?!" Her brunette friend, known as Sapphire gasped in an equal amount of shock at the sight of the other brunette across from her.
"Crystal?!" Beavis gasped at the sighed of the girl he had once gotten arrested by accident.
"Sapphire?!" Butthead gasped as his squinty eyes widened at the sight of the girl he had almost done a porno with.
No doubt today would be an awkward day of school for the four teens.
