I was just putting the finishing touches on this story when I chanced to see the evening news. The original Apocalypse Now was being re-released. The "Redux" version is now 3 plus hours in size, due to the addition of scenes deleted from the original.
When the move came out on DVD, I rented it. My advise. Don't see it. The additional scenes really did belong on the cutting room floor. The extra stuff muddied the characters, and diluted the thrust and power of the story.
So I bring you Apocalypse Then, a Daria crossover! Based on the original movie, and reformatted for ff.net. I also used the opportunity to clean up the dialog a little bit. If you want to go to a link and read the story and see the "movie poster" then go to:

This story begins a full year after "Is it Fall Yet", and features a revisit to the "OKAY to Cry Corral".
My version of the film, in contrast to the re-release, is only 22 minutes long, the length of a normal Daria episode. I even cut it up into three sections just like the show. Feel free to insert whatever mental commericals you see fit in the blanks.
So, without further ado, we follow Anthony DeMartino to the "OKAY to Cry Corral" and to Vietnam and back in Apocalypse Then!
