A scene that should have been at the end of the movie...warning, under aged alcohol consumption.

"C'mon,"

"No."

"C'mon,"

"No."

"C'mon,"

Trent sighed. "Ok, but under two conditions."

"Shoot."

"You and Daria don't leave the house and you two get into night clothes so I know you won't leave the house." Trent replied.

"Deal." Jane quickly agreed.

"Wait a second, what makes you think I'm..." Daria began but Jane drugged her back upstairs.

"C'mon, we're going to celebrate freedom with a little booze." Jane announced and Daria sighed to herself.

Trent sighed and shook his head. He headed into the kitchen and walked over to a cabinet with a chain lock on it. He thought for a moment. He didn't know where their mother kept the key. He reached into is pocket and took out has switchblade. He flicked it, but instead of the blade, a small lock pick came out of the bottom and Trent unlocked the liquor supply. Jane and Daria came back a moment later and Jane smirked.

"Nice," Jane said rummaging through the different bottles.

"Uh, I don't recognize any of this." Daria began.

"You shouldn't. Jake Morgendorffer isn't the world traveler that my parents are." Jane replied and pulled out an interesting looking bottle.

"Uh..." Daria began getting more nervous.

"What do you think, Trent? you're the family drunk around here at the moment." Jane said and handed the bottle over to her brother.

"Hmmm," he said and read the back of the label. "If you like your drink with sugar, then this ought to do the trick." Trent reported.

"Great, I get to be drunk and have a sugar high." Daria dryly commented.

"Pour up Trent." Jane commanded.

11:18 PM...

"You know...this stuff's...pretty good." Jane said, her words slurred from the alcohol.

""Why am I doing this? Why do I let you talk me into doing these things?" Daria complained.

'Daria has had just as much as Janie has and her mind is still functioning. Hollow leg? Although, she's getting about like me and is starting to tell the truth the more she drinks.' Trent observed and poured another glass for Jane.

"Hey, you need to have fun. Here's to the end of our high school existence. Here's hoping that the rest of life isn't just one continuos high school." Jane said and after raising her glass in a toast, she drinks half of it in one gulp. "C'mon, Trent, join us."

"No way, someone has got to stay sober." he replied and Jane started laughing.

1:47 AM...

"Ugh...man...I'm so fucking...waisted." Jane said with a smile and dropped to the floor Trent shook his head with a smile and hoisted her up over his shoulder.

"You drunk her under the table." he said to Daria still smiling.

"Not an accomplishment I wish to brag about." Daria replied.

"I'll be back. I'm going to drop this drunkered in her room." Trent said and Daria smiled.

1:51 AM...

He headed out of Jane's room and down the hall. He saw that his door was opened and saw Daria sitting on his bed. He comes in and pulls the door shut.

"Ok? Thought you might want to try and finish the bottle." Trent said.

"No, I've had enough." she replied. Trent sat beside her and she turned her eyes to him. "Why didn't you see me as more? Why didn't you see my crush on you? Why did you say 'yes' to helping us with that damned project? Why did I have to almost lose my best friend over a boy?" she asked. Trent bit his lip seeing the tears in those pretty grey eyes of hers.He sighed and pulled the girl into his lap and held her as she cried herself to sleep.

He woke with a light weight on top of him. His popped opened to see that he and Daria were still clothed. Daria groaned and opened her eyes.

"Trent?"

"Yeah?"

"Never let Jane talk me into drinking again."

"The first hangover is always the worst." Trent said.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."

"It's ok. You need to let out those bad emotions sometimes."
"I..."


"Listen, I know you and Jane will be gone soon, but I want to at least fix what I messed up with you. I was afraid to get with you because of how experienced I am. I would have scared you. Had I known that the drama with Tom was going to happened, I would have taken a chance." he said stroking her cheek. She found herself leaning into her touch.

"I'd like that." she said. 'May be, there will be something to come back to in Lawndale.' she thought and continued to lay on top of Trent.
