Another short drabble, enjoy.

He drumbed on the steering wheel of the car as he waited on the girls to do whatever they were going to do. He turned on the radio in order to keep himself from falling asleep. He tried to find a station that was playing something decent, but he failed. He turned off the radio and opened the glove box. He pulled out a tape and smiled to himself.
"Was wondering where this was." Trent said and put the tape in and preyed that it wouldn't eat it. He smiled hearing the heavy guitar and bass line started up and then the drums kicked in. One of the two singers sounded like a slightly younger Trent. It only took until the bridge of the song for Trent to start singing himself. After the second song ended, Jane ripped opened the door and the two girls piled in.

"Drive." Jane commanded and Trent pulled out of the school's parking lot as fast as his car could go.

"You...?" Trent began but Jane answered him.

"Yep, our worked has been saved by its destruction. Speaking of work, who are you listening to?"

Trent takes the tape out and tossed it over to Jane.

"You actually found it?"

"Forgot it was there."

"You better put this somewhere else besides your beat up car. It's the only evidence that Mystik Spiral sounded good." Jane said handing the tape back to Trent.

"Yeah, Nick could never sound like that." Trent said and pocketed the tape.

"And what is this sound that Nick can't duplicate?" Daria asked.

"That tape is the only audio recording of the Spiral with one Daric Lynn. He's the only one that can make the Spiral sound like an actually band instead of an earthquake machine."

"He left Lawndale as fast as he could?" Daria asked and Trent grinned.

"Not by choice. Father wanted him to go to law school. Glad our parents aren't like that, right Janie?" Trent asked and Jane rolled her eyes.

"Speaking of parents, what will your mother say when Li eventually calls her about this trist?" Jane asked.

"Hopefully, mom will understand. Although, suspension means more time for TV." Daria said.

"Hey, it'll be alright. Besides you had to screw over the system that was screwing you." Trent offered with a lop sided grin which quieted Daria.

"And this will add another Lane that's been suspended from LHS, right Trent?" Jane said and Trent started a fit of coughing and laughing.

"School don't like us very much." Trent said after recovering.

"More like Li doesn't like anyone with the last name 'Lane'. Oh well, at least we're getting suspended for something we believe in instead of something stupid right?:" she asked Trent playfully hitting him upside his head and Trent rolled his eyes.

'I've got to learn to speak more around him.' Daria thought. 'I'm doing better, but he still disconnects my brain and I don't like being brainless.' The car pulled up to the Lane house and the three got out of the car.

'That was cool, and got to spend more time with Daria. If only she were...' Trent began but shook the thought off and headed upstairs. He didn't need to be thinking those thoughts, at least, not yet anyway. 'I'll finish listening to the tape and put it away somewhere else.'
