cygnavamp: I was wondering if anyone was still reading this thing on aff .net. Hmmmm, that might be a little difficult to set up, but I'll see what I can do. If you could give more details or a way to set the kiss up that would be a help.

On the road again, just can't wait to get back on the road again...oops...sorry. Anyway, here's this one again, and this time Daric and Angel shall join in.

The house shook as an explosion of sound came from the basement. This disturbance knocked Jane's project to the floor. Jane rolled her eyes realizing that it was time to complain.
"That must be Trent. C'mon, let's go complain about the noise." Jane said after picking up the pieces of her sculpture.
"I don't mind the noise...I have sturdy eardrums." Daria hesitantly said. Daria followed Jane to the basement door and then heard a second six string guitar along with a bass and a keyboard after Jane had opened the door.. "Isn't that an almost full band of instruments?" Daria questioned.
"Yep, and it appears that Daric and Angle have re-joined Mystik Spiral."
"Mystik Spiral? Sounds like a Doors cover band."
"Don't let Daric hear you say that. He hates the doors." Jane said before the two start heading down the stairs. "The other guitar is Jessie." Jane added.
Trent sang as the band, minus the drummer, played. Then, after Trent finished the first verse Jane yelled, "Trent! Trent!" The band stopped and Jane remarked, "Mind turning it down a little?"
"Are you kidding?" Trent asked with a grin. "Hey Daria." he greeted the auburn.
"Uh...hey," Daria shyly replied.
"Who wrote that?" Daric asked and Jessie looked a little bashful. "Should have known. Hey baby lane." Daric greeted Jane with a smirk.
"You staying this time or are you going to work in your father's law firm?" Jane asked.
"The deal was that I get the law degree, not become a shark." Daric replied.
"Besides, I wouldn't let his soul get tainted in that line of work." Angel let out. "Jane, how's my cousin doing?"
"We don't talk much, but Andrea is fine." Jane reported. "So, when is the reunion gig?" Jane asked.
"Not this weekend. We going to Alternapalooza." Jessie said with a grin.
"Yeah, and these two thought they would take that gas hog of a van called the tank all the way there." Daric said.
"The tank?" Daria questioned.
"It's a van, or it used to be a van." Jane answered.
"Used to be a van...I don't know if I'd want to ride in something that used to be a van. If it's not a van anymore, then what is it?" Daria asked.
"It's a van," Trent began, "We're just in the middle of re-building it."
"So, how are you getting there? You can't possibly be thinking of taking your car, Trent." Jane said.
"Nah, we're taking Daric's car." Trent confirmed.
"Care for a couple more tag-a-longs? We can offer more money for the trip."
"Can six fit in that thing?" Trent asked Daric.
"I'll drive, Angel and Daria are small enough to fit up front. I guess your stuck in the back with the love birds, Trent." Daric quipped and Trent rolled his eyes.

A Jaguar XJ(1) pulled up to the Morgendorffers' home. Daric blew the horn and Jane got out. Daria came out trying to hid her lips.
"Ooh la-la, is that lipstick?" Jane teased in a fake French accent.
"I just had a lolly pop." Daria replied with her hand still covering her mouth. Glad that she'd be sitting up front, she opened the door and got in. Angel slid up next to Daric and Daria situated herself. Daric pulled away and Angel turned on the radar detector.
"Uh, how can you drive a car like this with all these trucks flying past?" Daria asked nervously. She got more nervous when the speedometer reached 80 and kept climbing.
"All new drivers are going to be nervous during their first times on the highway. Isn't that right Trent?" Daric asked and Trent shook his head.
"It's alright Daria, Daric's a better driver than any other member of the spiral. Hell, he's the best driver period." Trent assured and grinned seeing the speedometer reach 100.
"Hey, I can't hear the engine." Jessie remarked.
"They've done a better job of canceling out the road noise." Daric answered distractedly as he could see a toll booth coming up. The car slowed and Daric rolled down the the window. Daric tossed the change and took off again.
"Hey, wasn't that...?" Jessie began.
"Yep. Curtis Stalonno(2). He graduated with us." Trent explained.
"Lawndale High has such outstanding graduates." Daric remarked and they each let out a laugh.
"Ain't no way I'm working in a toll booth." Trent said.
"Yeah, that would constitute actual work." Jane said with a smirk.
"Hey, this is work. We enjoy what we unlike a lot of people out there. Trent said.
"Trent's right, a lot of people are stuck in a job they don't like for over twenty years and end up bitter about." Daria said and Trent smiled.
"Speaking of fun," Daric began and pressed a button, "a little road music." he finished and Master of Puppets(3) blasted through the speakers.

Daria fell onto her bad later that night. It had been fun, but being in a crowd of over 10,000 was slightly uncomfortable. It was made more uncomfortable with Trent keeping her close so she didn't get lost and or moshed upon by the wilder concert goers. Jane was going to relentless tease her for the next month because of this road trip. Daric and Angel were good company as well, but she feared for her life if she had to sit up front again i Daric's car while the boy drove at such insane speeds.

1. Go to http:// en.wikipedia .org/ wiki/ Jaguar_XJ_ (X351) for more info about Daric's car.

2. I think this is the guy's name that worked the toll booth.

3. The title track of Metallica's 3rd album.

Ok, got a review from someone suggesting something that I am not too sure of, but let's see how everyone else feels about it.

Should I do One J at a Time again and have Tom kiss Quinn? Would that even work? I know you Tom haters would love to see that but I don't want any any OOC'ness to show up.

So, let me know about that idea.
