Part Two of the series:
~Undertow
SYNOPSIS:
Daria's mind is going crazy...
Feeling like she can't take hiding her secret crush from Trent anymore.
When she finds out from Jane,Trents biggest secret she's shocked beyond all reasonable thought.
But what will Trent think of Daria finding out he's never slept with anyone before,and all the other girls he dated were just short relationships?
Daria decided to go to Janes that night,to see her 'painting'.
She wasn't oblivious though,it was quite obvious her bestfriend only made up the whole urgent need to see the painting thing as a desperate attempt to play yenta once again.
When Trent offered the massage,Jane almost jumped out of her skin trying to persuade Daria to sleep over.
Daria didn't like to admit it,but it didn't take much convincing when it came to a chance to be in close proximity of her crush.
When they got to the Lane house,everyone piled out and quickly ran for the door and out of the cold.
Once inside,Daria pulled Jane by the sleeve.
"Hey Jane,could I talk to you in your room for a second..its important"
Jane shrugged "Sure Daria,lead the way..be back in a sec bro"
Trent smiled and headed for the living room couch.
After a few minutes,and more than a few warnings from Daria to Jane they reappeared downstairs.
Now changed into different clothes,Daria wore a set of
fleecy,ice cream pj pants and long sleeved button down
top.
Trent was secretly relieved Jane had given her something that covered more.
The three sat watching TV and talking for awhile.
It was getting late,around 2-3 am when Jane sleepily yawned and got up.
"I'm gonna hit the sack Daria,but your free to stay here and enjoy the company of my dear brother...unless your tired too"
Daria glared,then looked next to her seeing Trent had passed out "Uh,yeah..what about Trent,should we wake him up and tell him were going up?"
Jane grinned "Why,planning on offering an invite?"
"Jane," Daria replied in a warning tone "All I'm saying is we should tell him were ditching..out of common curtacy"
"Aww thats sweet Daria," Jane smiled "You go ahead,I'm going up before I don't make it"
Daria shrugged and eyed the figure of Trents unmoving body.How was she going to do this,she thought to herself,what was the easiest,risk free way to shake Trent out of his slumber.
A minute later,she took a step towards him
"Um Trent,hey Trent were going to sleep"
Okay,so the first attempt did work so well.
Lightly patting his arm,Daria's voice rose a little "Trent...Trent are you awake?
Still,no movement,not even the slightest sign of life.
Okay so subtlety didn't work,but when did it ever when it came to the Lanes,especially Trent.
Daria reached out to shake Trent harder but stopped herself,thinking for a moment.
'Hmm this is the perfect opportunity to look at Trent all you want' she told herself 'Take a long look Daria,this is the last time you'll have such a chance'
It was nearly twenty minutes later,and no sign of Jane.
'Must have fell asleep' Daria sighed 'Oh well,won't miss me then'
Smiling to herself,Daria pulled the afgan off the recliner and wrapped it around her body.
Settling into the plump chair,she yawned and re-focused her gaze onto Trent,sleeping soundly across the living room.
In the corner of the room,a fire crackled warming her.
As her eyes focused,she looked over to notice she was alone.
"Where's Daria..maybe she took a shower"
Jane crawled out of bed,and looked at her alarm clock
Her eyes widened,nearly popping out of the sockets
The clock red 6:00 am.
Her first reaction was surprise she was up herself,then worry as to her best friends whereabouts.
Dragging herself down the hallway and stairs,Jane yawned "Damn Daria,not even punctual you gets up this insanely early...where are you?"
Passing the living room,she was met with relief then pure bliss.
Quickly darting back up to her room she grabbed her easel and paints.
For any other reason she would have crawled right back into bed but for this opportunity she was suddenly buzzed wide awake.
After a few hours the sun began peeking in the windows,and Jane finished up.
Eager to be done before anyone woke,Jane packed up her supplies and replaced them in her room,then dressed and came back downstairs.
In the kitchen,she started some coffee and micro-waved a couple pop tarts.
Grabbing coffee cups from the cupboard,she yelled "Breakfast is served,come and get it!"
Daria stirred,rubbing her eyes "Be down in a second mom"
Her eyes opened and focused,causing her to jump up "Damn"
Jane appeared at the doorway "Now,now is that any way to greet the person who cooked for you?"
"Uh,morning Jane," Daria mumbled,slightly flushed "YOU cooked?"
Jane nodded "Well if you consider warming two pop tarts in the microwave cooking"
Daria rolled her eyes "Hey it's how my mom cooks ALL the time"
"Then that settles it," Jane replied leaning against the door frame "Microwave equals cooking"
Daria gingerly stepped away from the recliner as if walking quietly would erase Janes memory "Well lets eat then"
Jane eyed her,noticing her obvious embarrassment "Yeah,sure lets do that,coffee's almost ready too"
A little while later,Jane and Daria were just about to walk out the door when a radio annoncement caught there attention
"Due to the late night snow storm last night in Lawndale,all classes will be cancelled until further notice.."
High fiving eachother,the friends smiled
"All roads,and businesses will be closed until snow plows are able to clear off the streets,please remain indoors and safe..current temperature is -35c"
Jane looked out the window,and her eyebrows arched "Damn Daria it's freakin' unbelievable out there,the snows up to the bottom of the window ledge and I can't even see Trents car"
Daria grimaced "Great,how am I supposed to get home..oh wait I don't care"
She smiled,mirroring Janes expression
"This is awesome,a vacation away from my family..and I must say,its extremely well deserved"
Jane skipped excitedly around the kitchen "Ooh this is going to be so much fun,let go wake Trent and tell him about the white oasis out there"
Shrugging Daria followed Jane
After a raised eyebrow at her friend seeing her brother covered up snugly in a blanket she reached down.
Pulling the corner of the fuzzy,black cover,Jane sent
Trent flying off the couch.
Sprawled out,Trent shivered "Hey Janey,what'd ya do that for?"
"Had to wake you up somehow," Jane mused "Unlike Daria I know you could sleep through a tornado,
and therefore am not going to waste precious time trying to get you up while being 'nice'"
"Uh,...thanks?" Trent replied uneasily
"Yeah your a real saint Jane," Daria quipt taking off her jacket "How do you live with such a caring sister Trent?"
Trent smiled,and laughed "Yep thanks Janey,everyone knows the best way to wake up is flying through the air,followed up by rug burn from hitting the carpet..truly a heart stopper"
"Aww you guys are too wimpy," Jane laughed "By the way Trent,you need to get to a window asap..there's a surprise there you can't miss"
Trents eyebrow arched "If its anything like your last surprise I think I'll pass"
Daria smiled,then walked over to the nearest window "No this surprise is definitely worth the venture"
Trent came up from behind her,craning his neck over her head.
Her heart began to instantly raced as she felt his warm breath on her.
"Cool," he exclaimed eying the scene "Well doesn't look like anyones gonna get outta this place,I take it schools cancelled?"
"You take it right," Jane replied flopping down on the sofa "Todays all about fun for a change"
"Fun?" Daria asked,sitting next to Jane "What did you have in mind Lane?"
Jane shrugged "Hmm..well we could watch TV,or I could always paint...then there's-
Trent raised a hand,cutting off his sister "You guys could check out my new song if you want"
Daria perked up "New song? the spirals gotta new song,cool"
Trent grinned "Well not really,I kinda just made it up myself..you know in my free time"
Jane smirked "Free time Trent,every minute is free time for you"
Trent blushed,embarrassed by his sisters comment "Thanks Janey"
Just about to offer her usual 'no problem' comment,Daria cut her off
"I'd love to hear it Trent," she replied warmly "I'm sure if you wrote it,its cool"
Jane was shocked speechless at her friends openness.
Trent smiled in return "Thanks Daria,you opinion means alot to me..I mean your a good judge of what sounds good,being a writer and all"
Just as fast as the smile appeared on her face it dissappeared "Uh,yeah.."
"Cool,I call it 'Undertow'"
Trent lifted his guitar from the floor and sat cross legged on the floor.
Standing by yourself
High on the hills of Mystik ocean
So this is where you come,to walk with your friends
Strange how it leaves you with no emotion
You can't fight the undertow
Not when your all alone
You can't fight the undertow
How long till you let go
Taking one step back
Trying to pull yourself together
No matter what you say
Nothing you do,can hold back the forces you knew
forever
You can't fight the undertow
Not when your all alone
You can't fight the undertow
How long till you let go
"Its a little rough I know,but I'm gonna work out the kinks..darken it up a bit maybe"
"No!" Daria replied almost desperately "Don't change a thing,its perfect..it speaks from the heart,you can relate you know?"
"Sure,I guess" Trent replied with a grin "You really like it the way it is?"
"Oh,yeah" Daria answered,in a daze "I love it infact"
"Cool" Trent met her eyes "If it has the Daria seal of approval I know its gotta be playable..what about you Janey,what do u think?"
Jane sat up,trying to appear alert "Daria's right,the song rocks..and I for one think she should take the song lyrics advice..not fighting the
forces and all"
Trent looked confused,and if Daria's eyes could kill
Jane would be gone about fifteen words ago.
"Anyway," Daria replied quickly "I think I'm gonna head up to your room for awhile Jane,and read"
"Right behind you amigo," Jane got to her feet "There's a painting calling to me,and I'm not one to dyne the muse..catcha later Trent"
"Yeah see ya guys in a few," Trent exclaimed getting up "I'm gonna catch up on some serious napping"
Jane rolled her eyes and followed Daria upstairs
Once at the door,Daria grabbed Jane by the shirt "What the HELL were you thinking Jane?!?"
"Um,care to elaborate on that?"
Daria crossed her arms and paced back and forth "You know exactly what I mean Jane,everything...your constant yentaing,the song comment"
"Chill out Daria,Trent is oblivious remember," Jane sat down on her bed
"He may be oblivious,but he isn't stupid Jane," Daria replied with a sigh
"Listen,he doesn't know you have feelings for him,or even that that song he wrote could be easily related to your crush on him"
Daria's eyes narrowed "Damn Jane one of these times he's gonna figure out one of your comments and either be extremely creeped out or laugh,any senerio seems too embarrassing to even think about"
Jane began painting "Sorry Daria,but if it makes you feel any better I think that song really Iwas/I about you"
Throwing herself backwards onto Janes bed,Daria laughed "Yeah,right keep dreaming Jane"
Stopping her paintbrush in mid-stroke,Jane looked up "No really,I do"
Daria was becoming frustrated with her friend "Jane please,Trent has dated numerous girls..you told me that yourself..you of all people should know he has better things to do then write about a girl who is nothing more than his little sisters best friend"
Going back to her painting,Jane broke eye contact "You know your more than that to him Daria,and he hasn't dated since that thing with Monique at your house"
Daria made a face,then buried her face in Janes pillow "Please,don't remind me..anyway take that as a perfect example,Monique is the kinda girl Trent goes for not some little high school kid mooning after him..Monique has more to offer"
"Like what?"
Daria groaned,hiding her face "You know what Jane,I don't need to spell it out for you"
That caught her attention,but she kept on working "Oh I see,well in that case your safe...Trents never even gone all the way"
Suddenly Daria's face reappeared from beneath the pillow "What?!?"
Jane continued to admire her painting,not really paying attention to her friend "I said Trent hasn't had sex,he's a virgin"
Daria was shocked to put it mildly "You expect me to believe your brothers never slept with a girl,and he's dated more than his fair share?"
"Thats what I'm saying," Jane replied absentmindedly "He told me so himself when we got in an arguement about me dating older guys..namely Jesse"
Her mouth hung open a little "I can't believe it"
Jane finally snapped back into reality,as she finished her painting "Can't believe what Daria?"
Daria's eyebrows wrinkled in confusion "Jane,you said your brother never went all the way are you just yanking my chain or something because I swear-
Janes eyes widened "I wha-Damn no I wasn't lying,I just get the feeling Trent wouldn't appreciate me telling anyone that... considering he said at the time not to"
Daria smiled a little,glad for once on of Janes slip-ups was for her benefit instead of the usual alienation it caused her "Don't worry Jane,I'm not one to gossip..I won't any anything,so Trent won't ever know you told me"
Jane smiled a little back "Thanks,and don't think I don't see this new found information makes you just a little happy"
Daria rolled her eyes "Sure,Jane"
A few minutes later,Daria and Jane went back downstairs
To both of their suprise,Trent was in the kitchen making lunch.
"Whats with the Betty crocker routine Trent,I thought you were going to catch up on your beauty sleep?"
She threw a smile at Daria,then sat down at the kitchen table.
"Oh yeah,well since were all stuck here I thought I should make something for us to eat Janey," Trent opened the oven and slid a frozen pizza inside "I hope you like 'the works' Daria,Janey and I haven't gotten to the grocery store yet"
Daria took a seat next to Jane,then smiled "Sounds great,thanks Trent"
"No problem" Trent replied with his lopsided half smile
"So kids,whats on the agenda for today?" Jane asked
Just as Daria was about to answer,the phone rang.
Trent hopped up to get it,then looked back to the table
"It's your mom Daria"
Daria got up and took the phone from Trent.
Jane and Trent sat together talking until Daria came back.
"Well it looks like our day of fun is gonna have to wait Jane," Daria replied lifting her jacket from the back of the chair "It seems the snow plows have already been out and mom wants me home a.s.a.p"
Trent and Jane shared the same look,disappointment
"Need a ride Daria?" Trent asked sliding out of his chair
"Thanks for the offer but dad's on his way"
Jane got up and stood beside her brother "Well I'll phone you later,maybe you can come over and we can do something fun"
Sliding on her jacket,Daria smiled and tied her boots "Sounds good Jane,I'll be awaiting"
Just as she finished,a car horn sounded outside "Well that'll be my ride,see ya later Jane,"
With a smile and faint blush she reached for the doorknob "Bye Trent"
"See ya tonight Daria," Trent replied with a grin
Jane and Trent waved from behind the door as Daria drove away.
Once Jakes car had disappeared,Trent sat down at the kitchen table arms crossed and a angry look on his face
"Whats wrong Trent?" Jane asked a little concerned,her brother hardly ever got mad so something must have happened "You look mad"
Leaning back in his chair,he sighed "What happened today Janey?"
"What do you mean?"
Trent was losing his patients "I mean what happened in your room today,what did you tell Daria?"
Jane looked like a deer caught in headlights "You..how did you-"
"I was walking by your room and I heard my name"
Jane bit her lip,nervously "What exactly did you hear Trent?"
Trent looked pale,and mad "You told her Janey,I thought you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Jane threw her hands in the air,defeated "I know,I'm really sorry Trent..it was a slip-up"
"Great," Trent replied rolling his eyes
Sitting up,Jane eyed her brother "Why do you care if Daria knows anyway?"
Now it was Trents turn to look frozen "Uh..I don't..I just-it was a secret Janey,you know those things that your not supposed to tell anyone"
Jane knew her brother was lying but she decided not to push any further "Yeah I guess your right,sorry"
Not being able to say mad at Jane,Trent smiled a little "Its okay,so hungry? The pizza should be ready"
"Always" Jane replied with a grin "Lets eat"

To both of their suprise,Trent was in the kitchen making lunch.
"Whats with the Betty crocker routine Trent,I thought you were going to catch up on your beauty sleep?"
She threw a smile at Daria,then sat down at the kitchen table.
"Oh yeah,well since were all stuck here I thought I should make something for us to eat Janey," Trent opened the oven and slid a frozen pizza inside "I hope you like 'the works' Daria,Janey and I haven't gotten to the grocery store yet"

"So kids,whats on the agenda for today?" Jane asked

Just as she finished,a car horn sounded outside "Well that'll be my ride,see ya later Jane,"
With a smile and faint blush she reached for the doorknob "Bye Trent"
"See ya tonight Daria," Trent replied with a grin
Jane and Trent waved from behind the door as Daria drove away.
Once Jakes car had disappeared,Trent sat down at the kitchen table arms crossed and a angry look on his face
"Whats wrong Trent?" Jane asked a little concerned,her brother hardly ever got mad so something must have happened "You look mad"
Leaning back in his chair,he sighed "What happened today Janey?"
"What do you mean?"
Trent was losing his patients "I mean what happened in your room today,what did you tell Daria?"
Jane looked like a deer caught in headlights "You..how did you-"
"I was walking by your room and I heard my name"
Jane bit her lip,nervously "What exactly did you hear Trent?"
Trent looked pale,and mad "You told her Janey,I thought you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Jane threw her hands in the air,defeated "I know,I'm really sorry Trent..it was a slip-up"
"Great," Trent replied rolling his eyes
Sitting up,Jane eyed her brother "Why do you care if Daria knows anyway?"
Now it was Trents turn to look frozen "Uh..I don't..I just-it was a secret Janey,you know those things that your not supposed to tell anyone"
Jane knew her brother was lying but she decided not to push any further "Yeah I guess your right,sorry"
Not being able to say mad at Jane,Trent smiled a little "Its okay,so hungry? The pizza should be ready"
"Always" Jane replied with a grin "Lets eat"
