(Note: No I didn't think of Kuno when I wrote the title, but now that I think about it, it's kind of funny.)

Summary:
Quinn and Trent dating?!? That's not right. (of course not) Trent finds out about Daria's feelings for him, present or past. He thinks of his own feelings toward her, and discovers he has loved her for a long time but didn't know it. Now he wonders if he still has a chance even though she's going out with Tom. In Trent's somewhat flawed thinking, he thinks that if he starts dating Quinn he'll be able to be near Daria and hopefully know how she feels. Daria starts acting strange, Tom's confused, Quinn's ecstatic that Daria's jealous, Trent thinks that she loves Tom, and Jane is also confused. She knew Daria had feelings for him, and Trent liked her but she wasn't sure how much....

Will Daria and Tom breakup making her free for Trent? Will Quinn and Trent hit it off? Will Jane go insane? Am I? *voice* YES!!

Chapter 1 : Revelations -Casa de Lane-

Jane had gone to the movies with Daria, and wouldn't be home til ten. Trent didn't know and walked in to her room, to borrow her tooth brush. He had a gig in and hour and a half and was still a little disheveled from his "nap".

"Janey?" he asked. Looking around, and some what confused, "Janey?" Oh that's right…she said she was going to the movies with Daria. Was that today, or yesterday? Damn…can't remember. Oh well, she'd let me use her toothbrush... where is it? Trent walks around her room, keeping away from her art supplies and aisle. He walks to her desk and starts to shift things around so he can see better. Trent then hears something hit the floor. When he looks down he notices that a book is lying on the floor, and picks it up. Oh…this must be Janey's diary…erk "journal". I should put it back where it was, or she'll think I read it and yell at me.

Trent then puts the book down and starts looking around again. Then he starts thinking, I wonder if she wrote anything about me in there... Mentally shaking himself. Don't think like that…then you'll WANT to read it.

Trent continues to dig around in that area, and right next to it. As he looks up at it, he notices his name on one page. He decides that reading one paragraph won't harm nothing. So Trent starts reading slowly. (Trent's not a fast talker, and reading is no different) Suddenly Trent jerks his head up. WHAT?? She likes me? Daria? I thought she was just nervous or worried about something. I remember the time Janey, Daria, Jesse and I went to a flea market to try and sell some vinyl records. Daria and Jane were talking, something about me being a butterfly, and how Daria would wait for me. At that time I just thought that she was worried I'd sleep forever. Trent then puts the book back down and continues half-heartedly to look for the toothbrush. Finding it under the bed, he goes back to his room. Taking much effort to say awake while be brushes his teeth. He falls alseep shortly afterward.

Daria and Jane walk in an hour later, and notice Trent lying on the floor. They look at Trent sleeping with his mouth open and the tooth brush still in it. Jane replies a little nervous, "I hope he doesn't give that back to me." Daria smirks, "Oh come on, you know you've always wanted a crusty tooth brush...."

Jane turns to Daria, "Don't you have a date with Tom tonight?" Daria looks at Jane. "Okay…maybe DATE wasn't the word, get together? Shindig? Hoopla? Random Meeting?" They walk out of the room still talking of the 'date'.

In the kitchen, Jane is digging through the refrigerator looking for something edible. Daria says nervously, "Shouldn't we wake Trent up? His gig is in 20 minutes." Jane shakes her head, "Jesse, and most of the others won't be awake until after the gig starts anyway. Trent would just murmur something like, 'oh yeah….', and go back to sleep." Daria just smirks.

Just then, to the amazement of everyone including Trent, he walks into the room. "Hey Janey, hey Daria." He rubs his eyes to get rid of the sleep that had been forming. Both exclaim, "Hey Trent, good morning." He then looks over at the clock, which says 7:30pm. "Damn it, I'm going to be late!!!"

Jane replies, "You ALWAYS are.

"Trent smiles, "True…. But I need to wake up Jesse and everyone else, we had a rough night last night. Janey….do you know where the phone is?"

Jane points to the phone hook on the wall. To Daria, "Yah, must have been terrible." Both chuckle.
