Part four of the series:
~Hideaway -Now you see me,now you see us not- Lyrics by "Ivy"



All gone,the sun is off to bed
The days done,so rest your head
We'll fly to a place across the bay
Outside where it's dark,and gray

We'll hide away,under silver waves
We'll ly awake,under a silver sky,we'll hide away

So long,the night is closing in
Everyone is alone again
Were going on a midnight ride
Under stars and satellites

A thousand miles,from where we've been
We'll hide away,under silver waves
We'll ly awake,under a silver sky,we'll hide away



SYNOPSIS:
Daria,and Trent hide their relationship ala Monica & Chandler "friends" from their friends and family after the embarrassing night of Jesse's birthday but what happens when it comes out in the open?




Daria Morgandorffer stood in the dark,the cool night air sending shivers to course through her body.
Closing her eyes she warmed to the feeling of a jacket being wrapped around her shoulders,but more so the fiery feeling of the object of her affections lips brushing hers.

With more intensity he pulled her closer to him,his arms wrapping around her hips as he deepened the kiss.

Breaking her out of her dreamlike state,her watch beeped furiously.

"Damn," she rested her head on his shoulder,as her cheek brushing his neck she felt him shiver "Sorry,I must be cold"

He smiled,hugging her tightly "Well that's not why I shivered but I'd be more than willing to warm you up"

Daria couldn't help but smile as he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.He made her melt with his grin but sometimes she wondered if he knew that.

She locked eyes with him,then reached down to take his hands in hers "I..I love you,you know Trent..I just wanted to make sure you knew that"

Trent was stunned,Daria had never said she loved him before,neither of them had,although they'd been dating for a few months.
When it came to speaking her mind Daria always had a snappy,most often sarcastic comeback but with matters of her heart she was more guarded.
It wasn't that she didn't feel,she just kept her feelings to herself to not risk humiliation.
Trent on the other hand had dated many girls but never said the three magic words,and knowing Daria he didn't want to rush things.

Feeling his eyes begin to well up with tears,Trent blinked then pulled Daria as close as possible.

Brushing her hair back,his voice was low but warm near her ear "Well that's certainly a relief since I love you,Daria"

Daria smiled her famous Mona Lisa smile "Well I better be turning in before I take you up on your offer,Lane"

Trent grinned,raising his eyebrow "Well then,by all means please do stay"

Playfully pushing Trent,Daria gasped as he fell to the ground..pulling her with him.
As she landed on top of him,her heart began to race and her breathing intensified.
Trent looked up at her,his heart beating just as fast.

Daria grinned,placing a quick kiss on his lips before pulling him to his feet,blushing slightly "Not so fast Lane,as much as I want my first time to be on the lawn of my front yard"

With a laugh,Trent brushed grass of his pants "I guess I see what you mean,well I better be heading home..Janey's probably wondering why it took me so long at the store"

Slowly pulling his jacket off,Daria secretly thought to herself how much she loved it,smelling exactly like him.

"Here you go" she replied handing it over

"No you hold onto it,I have tons of jackets"

Daria smiled,then pulled the gray,wool scarf from her neck "Here,take this..I..um-

She looked down,slightly embarrassed "I want you to have something of mine too"

Trent took the scarf and quickly wrapped it around his neck "Thanks Daria,I love it..it reminds me of you"

Daria blushed,pleased "Mmhmm me too,with your jacket I mean"

Trent was just about to kiss Daria when the outside light turned on,followed by Helen peeking her head out
"Daria..Daria is that you,are you out there?"

Pulling Trent close for once last kiss,Daria stepped out into the lit lawn,and walked up the walkway

"Yes,sorry mom..I ran a little late at Jane's," Daria replied sincerely "I hope your not mad"

Helen smiled warmly at her daughter "No problem dear,I was just getting worried thats all"

Trent watched from behind a tree as Daria followed her mom inside,but turned quickly to wave goodbye with a smile.
Raising his hand,he waved back then hopped in his car which was cleverly parked a few houses away.

*The Next Morning(Saturday)*

The warm sun was a pleasant surprise for Daria,who had chosen to walk to the Lane house,when Jane called to invite her over.
Kicking a rock,she silently cursed to herself
"Man,I hate lying to Jane about her brother...even with her damn annoying yenta act but its just for a little while longer"
Stopping,Daria realized she was at the end of her journey,Janes house

"Only a few more days Jane,then I won't have any secrets from you anymore"

"Hey"

Trent appeared at the other side of the screen door,which Daria didn't realize was open.

"Oh hey Trent" she replied casually

Pulling her inside,Trent looked her in the eyes "Don't worry,Janeys in the shower..but I heard what you said,and I'm sorry Daria"

Smiling,Daria gave him a thankful look "Well,you know"

"Yeah,Janeys your best friend and I know you don't like lying to her..we'll tell her soon though,we'll tell everyone"

Daria eyes widened "Everyone?"

Trent did his laugh/cough thing
"Well not *everyone*"

Pulling him close for a hug,Daria sighed "Thanks Trent,I know how you hate lying to Jane too"

Trent nodded,then pulled away as he heard the water in the shower turn off.
Daria winked,then walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
Following,Trent sat down too,but not to close to her.

"Aww isn't that cute,you two on the love seat"

Daria and Trent turned in union to see Jane dressed only in a towel,with a towel wrapped around her hair eyeing them with a grin.

Shooting her a deadly glare,Daria jumped to her feet "Hey Jane,almost ready for the sick,sad world marathon?"

Jane smirked "Little eager to desert my brother here are we? Don't worry he doesn't bite..well maybe for you"

Daria blushed instantly despite the current situation "Jane! No I'm not-uh Trent you wanna..um join us?"

Jane laughed at her friends awkwardness "Yeah common bro,it'll be fun"

Trent quickly considered accepting the offer,loving the idea of getting to spend time with Daria,but then remembered he'd have to act like he wasn't in love with her,and that would be too hard
"Uh,I think I'll pass Janey..gotta practice you know,um thanks anyway"

Jane shrugged "O-kay see ya later"

Trent walked to the basement door "Cool,later"


Daria sat on Janes bed,pulling a book out of her bag nd turning it open.
Jane looked like she was going to her easel to paint per usual but changed her mind,taking a seat next to her best friend.

"So I've been meaning to ask you," she began pulling the book from Daria's hands "Whatever happened Saturday night?"

Daria froze,but was expecting the question "Well Trent came in and explained the whole song thing was a big drunken mistake and he didn't mean anything he said,he was just out of it"

Janes eyebrows sky rocketed up "You mean to tell me all my oblivious brother offered as an apology was that he had one too many beers?"

"You sound surprised Jane," Daria replied quickly "Why else would he sing that ridiculous song,I know he doesn't really have feelings for me"

Jane watched Daria talk with a shocked expression

"If its okay with you I'd really like to forget that whole stupid night,it's not exactly one of my favorite memories" Daria sighed

Swallowing,Jane's brow furrowed "Yeah I guess your right,sorry amigo"

Daria picked up her book from Janes bed "It not your fault Jane,for the record I'm really glad you were there..I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't picked up the pieces"

Jane smiled a little,despite her shocked state "The night was pretty horrible,I can't imagine what the other people at the party thought of Trents little moment of idiocy.."

Silently noting Daria's frown,Jane quickly covered

"I mean they probably couldn't desifer it from Icebox Woman anyway,99 percent of them were wasted when they walked in"

Daria raised her hands "Hey it doesn't bother me,most of Lawndale doesn't know me from adam anyway"

"I'm sorry Trent led you on"

Lifting her book up to cover her expression,Daria shrugged "He didn't,I was stupid to think for even a second what he was saying was even close to the truth,he was completely gone"

"You didn't know that,and if anyone's stupid here it's my brother..and believe me he has a Jane Lane size kick in the ass comin' to him"

Daria laughed a little,then frowned "Yeah well,Damn I totally forgot-I better get going..I have to go to the library and get a book for that report due Wednesday,thanks for the talk Jane"

"No problem," Jane replied with a smile "Your my best friend Daria,anytime"

Jane walked Daria to the door.
Just as she was walking down the sidewalk something odd caught her eye.
Trent was outside shoveling the walk but it wasn't that,it was what he was wearing.

"Is that Daria's scarf?"



La lalala....
