Daria and Jane were walking to school, as was their wont.
"Did you study for your math test?" Jane asked, hoping to bum some notes off her amiga.
"I have to go now," Daria replied, in a fake voice. "My planet needs me."
The witty reply froze on Jane's lips as Daria unceremoniously floated into the sky and disappeared.
"...You know, I can't help but feel as if this is familiar somehow," Jane muttered to herself.
(Note: Daria died on the way back to her home planet).

LSauchelli proposed an Iron Chef on PPMB in which Daria leaves the show mid-series run. I decided to recycle the Simpsons gag I used from the previous Jane/Quinn/Helen-less IC from Roentgen almost verbatim. Nobody noticed!
